Gu Peiqing and Shen Feiming combined, and felt that it was better to go to the criminal department first. Shen Feiming's clothes were only stained with some dust, while Gu Peiqing was completely disheveled. The gatekeeper of the Criminal Department recognized the Shen Mansion brand hanging on Shen Feiming's waist, and also heard Zhang Mincha say that the two of them were coming, although he looked at Gu Peiqing's tattered clothes in confusion, but also let him in.

Zhang Minchao came out of his study and ran towards Shen Feiming as if he had seen a savior.

"Master Gu, Miss Shen, it's not that I don't have credit, but when I proposed to release the Red Silk Girl this morning, I was stopped by our outsider, who said that the Red Silk Girl might be involved in a case half a month ago. Alas, the official crushed people to death, and I couldn't help it. Please also ask the two of you to move into our staff Wailang's study, and with the face of the two of you, you will definitely be able to take the Red Silk Girl out of prison. Zhang Minchao spoke extremely humblely, Gu Peiqing knew that Zhang Minchao's obedient appearance was made for Shen Feiming to see.

Zhang Minchao took the two into the study of the outsider, Zhao Run, who was sitting at the table writing something, and stopped writing when he saw the three of them entering.

"Uncle Run," Shen Feiming called sweetly as soon as he entered the door, and Zhao Run's serious-looking face showed a smile, which quickly faded again. Zhang Minchao knew that they were familiar with each other, so he bowed and said, "Lord Zhao, there are other things to be busy with, let's talk first." "It's like I've completed my mission and wants to run away quickly.

Shen Feiming hurriedly ran over, pulled Zhao Run's sleeve and said, "Uncle Run, you haven't been to my father for a long time to drink." ”

"That's not a good errand your father arranged for me, the criminal department is really tired."

"My father said that Uncle Run is cautious in his work, and he doesn't know how many unjust, false and wrongful cases he has settled, which should be praised."

"Alright, alright, you don't need to say anything about your honey words, I know what you're looking for me."

"Uncle Run, since you know everything, why can't you release the Red Silk Girl, I can prove that the Red Silk Girl is innocent."

Zhao Run was about to say something, but when he saw that Gu Peiqing was still standing there, he stopped what he was about to say, and his inquiring eyes glanced at Gu Peiqing. Gu Peiqing saluted and said: "Under Gu Peiqing, who is now working in the Qin Heavenly Prison, has seen Lord Zhao. ”

"Uncle Run, this is Gu Peiqing, the divine detective that the emperor invited back from Qingcheng, if you have anything to say, he can also help with this case."

Zhao Run struggled and didn't respond, Gu Peiqing immediately understood that Zhao Run, who had always been cautious, would not easily believe him, it seemed that there was indeed a secret to tell Shen Feiming, so he said, "I want to go to the file first, I don't know if it's okay?" Shen Feiming was about to speak, but Gu Peiqing shook his head at her.

"Of course you can, Liu Da, take Pei Qing to see the dossier." After Zhao Run finished speaking, a guard appeared at the door, he answered "yes" and took the order.

Gu Peiqing arrived at the file room, Liu Da introduced Gu Peiqing to the clerk who managed the file, and according to Gu Peiqing's meaning, the clerk took out the file of the case on West Third Street half a month ago and the file of the case of Hongye Building a few days ago, he made tea for Gu Peiqing, and stood silently aside in a daze.

The deceased is Zheng Jixiang, a resident of West Third Street, who has a wife, a concubine and a son at home, who runs a fruit shop. The surrounding people did not go to bed early, they were attracted by the screams of the proprietress of the wonton shop, and after the fall from the horse, Zheng Jixiang fell out of the gold, was robbed, and the scene was destroyed. When the government came, they found only corpses and empty pockets, daggers, rouge boxes, strings, and rattles. People around said that Zheng Jixiang was kind to people, and there was no quarrel in the family, and there would be no enemies.

"Strings?" Gu Peiqing said to herself, the document was not heard clearly, and immediately added water to Gu Peiqing. "This string can be in the evidence room?" Gu Peiqing asked.

The clerk leaned over and glanced at the file that Gu Pei Qing was reading, and replied respectfully, "Yes." He rolled his eyes, and said: "My lord, the villain has a lot of words, the strings are not ordinary strings, I don't know what kind of musical instrument strings, until the red silk girl's piano was collected, I found that the strings matched the red silk girl's piano." And ten days ago, the owner of the herb shop opposite the Red Leaf Building committed suicide by jumping off the building, and he also had the strings wrapped around his hands. ”

"Suicide by jumping off a building?"

"Yes, there are five or six million people in the city, and suicides are not uncommon, so he didn't pay attention. But I thought about it, since it's all that kind of string, does it matter? ”

"What's your name?" Gu Peiqing asked.

"The villain's name is Akisuke."

"Please bring me the suicide file."

It is estimated that the case was closed by suicide, so the file is only one page, and Gu Peiqing quickly read it. All three cases were related to the strings, but only the strings were taken from Miss Red's room, but there was no record of the strings being taken away.

At this time, Shen Feiming had finished talking to Zhao Run, and when he walked into the file room, the two looked at each other, and Gu Peiqing only saw Shen Feiming's gloomy expression, and his heart seemed to be troubled.

"What's wrong?" Gu Peiqing ran his thumb across her forehead, trying to smooth out the tightly knit brow. Seeing this scene, Akisuke felt that he was very much in the way, so he hurriedly made a gesture and walked out the door.

There were thousands of entanglements in her eyes, and she didn't know whether to say it or not. Gu Peiqing's clear eyes just looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

"Forget it, it's fine." She barely pulled out a smiley face, "What did you find." ”

Gu Peiqing felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he quickly told Fei Ming what he had discovered.

"Do you think these three cases are related? Is that the string? Shen Feiming didn't look surprised, she looked at the sky and said, "I still have something to do, I'll go back to the house first, if I want to find you, I will ask Almond to send you a letter first." She fluttered away, and Gu Peiqing looked at her and felt that she was like a delicate butterfly.

Seeing that Shen Feiming was gone, Ming Fu entered the file room again and asked, "Do you want to continue reading the file or go to the physical evidence room or go back to rest?" ”

"I'd like to meet the Red Silk Girl."

The prisons in the penal department are all prisoners who are awaiting convictions, and because they have not yet been convicted, they are treated better than in prisons. The Red Silk Girl sat on the straw in a long red dress, like a decaying summer flower, but her beauty was truly thrilling.

"Master Gu?" The red silk girl looked at Gu Peiqing, "I saw you on the way from Qingcheng to Bingcheng before, but I have been on the carriage, and I haven't seen it really, I didn't expect it to be so good-looking in my life." ”

"Red Silk Girl, I have a few I want to ask you, I know you are innocent, Fei Ming and I will rescue you as soon as possible." The Red Silk Girl was not in good spirits, and the rumors of pulling off her fingers seemed to be nonsense.

The Red Silk Girl smiled, "Thank you, sir." ”

"I read the file before, and you said that you waited for Xiao Gongzi to come in the room, and when he came, you played for him as usual, and the two did not say a word during this period."

"Yes, he was originally a stammer, he has been ridiculed by others for a long time, and he doesn't like to talk. He entered, stood at the table, poured a glass of wine, and knocked on the table to signal that I could play. Then he walked up and down the room, opened the door of the gallery and enjoyed the moonlight, and I myself was immersed in the playing, and when the song was over, I came out of the curtain and saw him lying in Langfang, I thought it was his sudden illness, but I came closer to see that he was wet and drenched, as if he had lost his breath. At that time, I was extremely nervous and screamed loudly, and then I heard the sound of the door open, and Liu Ya held me up, and she saw Xiao Gongzi's body and screamed, and we both went straight back, knocking over some objects, and then many people poured into our room, and then I was brought here. ”

Gu Peiqing nodded, what the red silk girl said was no different from what was written in the dossier.

"Do you know the strings?"

"Someone came today and asked me about the strings, and my piano was given by Miss Feiming. Miss Feiming came to Qingcheng to auction the piano, she originally said that it was for her sister, and on the way she talked with me very happily, I had never seen such a chic piano, I tried to play it, and found that its sound was like a heavenly sound, and I liked it very much. Miss Feiming told me that it was a guqin, there were two, one was already in her own house, was left by her deceased mother to her sister, called Jinse, and this one was made of materials left over after making Jinse, although it was not as good as Jinse, but it was also made by the hands of craftsmen, which was quite precious. When she saw that she liked it, she gave it to me, but she only gave me the piano, not the strings. I knew it wasn't any ordinary string, and I asked her what to do if it broke. She said that the strings were made of special materials, and they were extremely tough, and they would not break easily, and if they did, she would send someone to repair them if they went to her again. ”

So the strings were actually related to Fei Ming, and Gu Peiqing had more doubts in his heart.

"Miss Red Silk, what do you think of Miss Qiuyan?"

"Qiu Yan? Qiu Yan is my good sister, although I have known her for a short time, but we cherish each other. I have only been in Bingcheng for a short time, and I feel very lucky to be able to gain such a good friend as Qiu Yan. We often talked at night, and I found that her views were very much the same as mine, we embroidered purses, played together, talked about poetry together, and decorated the room together. Sometimes those guests who are difficult to deal with, Qiu Yan will also help me get rid of them. ”

Gu Peiqing felt that Miss Hongsi was tired of talking so much, the food in the prison was not good, and she looked extremely thin, so she didn't bother anymore.

Out of the Criminal Department, it was already dark, Liu Da led Gu Peiqing's white horse out, the horse seemed to be full of food and drink in the Criminal Department, and the fright during the day was probably alleviated by food.

Gu Peiqing had something in his heart, and the horse was also walking slowly on the road, but it was comfortable. Suddenly, a young girl blocked Gu Peiqing's way, she was wearing a sword, she simply tied a ponytail, and there was no other decoration on her head.

"You should be careful not to be deceived by that bad woman of Shen Feiming."
