Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door, and the little guy hurriedly collected the Dao Fa and obediently hid in the bed.

I opened the door and saw that it was Li Mubai.

"How was your rest last night?"

"It's alright, what about you?" I habitually brace myself on a lazy back.

"Sleepless nights!"

"When I went to your room to look for you last night, I found that you weren't there, where did you go?"

Li Mubai looked in the room, and I guessed he was looking for the little guy to die.

"Go find Jiang Qi, I don't believe he will disappear for no reason."

"Did you find that?"

Li Mubai shook his head and looked at my bedroom again, "I didn't find it, haven't you gotten up yet?" ”

"It's up, it's early in the morning to breathe the aura of heaven and earth, and it's so scared that it hides as soon as you come in."

"Hide from me?" Li Mubai looked at me in disbelief.

"Yes, I don't believe you in the bed!"

Suddenly, Qu Yan poked his head out of the bed, Li Mubai looked at the little guy's trembling appearance, and finally showed a rare smile.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, we were about to have breakfast at the hotel bar, and we met yesterday's criminal policeman Lu Peng again.

"Good morning, two of you."

"Officer Li is early," I took the coffee from the waiter's hand.

"How's the case in the Jade Toad Palace?"

"There's no progress yet." Lu Peng looked at the breakfast on my table, "Sandwich and coffee!" ”

"Get used to it," I took a bite of the sandwich, which felt a little better than what the Du group usually prepared for us.

Lu Peng pointed to his plate, "It's all the same, you used to be a criminal policeman?" ”

I shook my head, and Li Mubai on the side frowned, looking preoccupied.

"Doesn't your friend look very happy?"

I nodded, "A good friend is missing, and there is a murder in the Jade Toad Palace, how can he be happy." ”

"You want to look into this case too, right?" Lu Peng looked at me cautiously and said tentatively.

"We can't investigate the case, we want to find Jiang Qi as soon as possible." I guess Lu Peng has already found out our identity, so he came early in the morning to deliberately test us.

"The cause of death of the little Taoist priest of the Jade Toad Palace is very unusual, he died of bleeding from the seven orifices, and the forensic doctor's appraisal report said that he died because of some sudden disease, but there is no evidence for what kind of disease it was."

"Seven orifices bleed to death?" Li Mubai looked puzzled, "Isn't this a symptom of poisoning?" ”

"We thought so at first, but after a forensic examination, it was said that he didn't have any toxins in his body."

"It's so weird, it's not human." Li Mubai said, glancing at me.

Lu Peng shook his head, "It's strange, killing people in the Jade Toad Palace, and it's also the person who killed at the festival in the Seven Star Pavilion. ”

"Have you contacted the family of the deceased?" I asked.

Lu Peng shook his head.

He has no family, and the little Taoist priest is also an orphan, and he has been taken in by Zhang Zhishun since he was a child, and he was handed over to Jiang Qi to take care of him after Zhang Daochang died two years ago. The little Taoist priest should be called Hui Ling, which is the name given by the old Taoist, and the old Taoist asked him to worship Jiang Qi as a teacher before he died. He was the first disciple accepted by Jiang Qi, and Jiang Qi specially spoke with me on the phone for this matter. Li Mubai looked out the window expressionlessly and said.

"How do you know that the deceased is a Hui Ling? I don't think I mentioned the name of the deceased to you, did I? ”

"Jiang Qi will not disappear in vain, it must be related to Hui Ling's death." Li Mubai looked at Lu Peng and said.

"Looks like you're already investigating the case."

"I'll find Jiang Qi." Li Mubai looked out the window again.

"Now that there is a murder case in Yuchan Palace, Jiang Qi is missing, and the city bureau has designated him as the primary suspect."

Li Mubai shook his head, "Stupid, if Jiang Qi wants to harm Hui Ling, why did he do it at the Fa Meeting, and he had already disappeared before Hui Ling died, this statement is completely unreasonable. ”

"That's how the case analysis given by the city bureau is."

"Now the cause of Hui Ling's death is the top priority, Jiang Qi is unlikely to be missing, I have a bad premonition." Li Mubai is a Taoist of the Divination School, he must have divination before going out to do things, seeing that he has a haggard face when he gets up in the morning, it must be that last night's divination test had a bad result.

"The serious crime team of our city bureau naturally cannot be compared with the serious crime team of Changlin City, Chairman Li is a famous world-class detective, and the mediocre talents of our city bureau naturally cannot be compared, I think if you want to return the innocence of Daoist Jiang Qi, why don't you go back to the police station with me to help our police solve the case as soon as possible."

Li Mubai shook his head, "You also said that you can't do it, it's only been one night to investigate our origins so clearly, is Officer Li too humble?" ”

Lu Peng patted me on the shoulder with a smile, and then whispered: "Don't worry, except for me, no one knows that you are in Hainan." ”

I understood Lu Peng's statement, "That's good, we need some more detailed reports on the case, and besides, the few scared guys at the door yesterday should also be interrogated." ”

Li Mubai glanced back at Lu Peng, "There are some things that can't be investigated deeply, and if you investigate too clearly, it's not good for yourself." ”

"I have written down Chairman Li's advice to Lu Peng, and I hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation this time."

Saying that, Lu Peng stretched out his hand, and we hit it off with him, Li Mubai and I will continue to follow up on Huiling's murder, and Li Mubai will personally investigate Jiang Qi's disappearance, and what Lu Peng has to do is to cooperate with us and hide our identity for us. Of course, the benefit he can get is that we will truthfully feed back to him the results of all the investigations.

"I'll tell you what's new at the police station."

Li Mubai nodded.

"By the way, what did you mean just now that the guy who was afraid of things at the gate of the Jade Toad Palace?"

I looked at the gym on the third floor of the hotel, "It's those guys, they should be witnesses to the crime, and they ran away first for fear of getting into trouble." ”

Lu Peng got up and pulled me, "Then let's go, let's go and interrogate them." ”

I am very familiar with the visit process of the police station, Li Mubai looks disdainful of doing these trivial things, and it is not good to let Lu Peng go alone, so I have to return to my old business and accompany Lu Peng to visit.

"Brother Peng, have you heard? Yesterday, there was a murder in the Jade Toad Palace. I turned on the treadmill and watched the two guys' expressions.

"I heard that, haven't the police been here, and it seems that a few Taoist priests have been arrested."

"How do you say the murder is over?"

Lu Peng held up the dumbbell, "It's hard to say, but it should be almost checked." ”

"The murder is over!" I heard the guy next to me lean into the other person's ear and whisper.

I waved my hand to signal that Lu Pengyu'er had taken the bait.

"Brother Peng, you said that this Jade Toad Palace is also interesting, a few little Taoist priests have a conflict and even kill people at the Fa meeting."

"I don't know the specifics, after all, we are not eyewitnesses at the scene of the crime."

The guy next to me finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward and asked, "Friend, you said that the case of the Jade Toad Palace was understood yesterday?" ”

"Yes!" I nodded and looked at him, "It's not a major case, it's said that two little Taoist priests had a conflict, and one of them killed the other by mistake!" ”

"It's unlikely, isn't it?"

Seeing that his face was puzzled, I took the opportunity to ask: "What, could it be that the two of them were also at the scene when the crime occurred?" ”

"No, no, we weren't in the Jade Toad Palace yesterday." Another eyewitness was more astute and apparently didn't want to get in trouble.

"In this way, I originally wanted to write a report on the suspenseful murder case of the Jade Toad Palace, but now it seems that there is nothing to write about."

"Are you a journalist?"

"Yes." I nodded, "If you have any exclusive news, you can tell me as much as you can, and if the news is strong, the remuneration is not a problem." ”

"This," I said, looking the two witnesses up and down, one of whom was clearly moved.

"Are you sure you're paid?"

"Of course. For us journalists, there is nothing more valuable than this news. ”

"I did see what happened, but when you reported it, you couldn't reveal my name."

"Don't worry, sir," I leaned forward and said with a smile, "I just wanted to reveal your name, but I don't know." ”

"That's right." The person I was talking to was still talking and laughing, and I turned around and signaled to Lu Peng that he could use the methods of the police station.
