Chapter 3 Butterfly Incense
Han Yan slowly walked out of the prison door, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still there, but he didn't smile in his eyes: "You just know when you open the bed." ”
The cell leader looked at the black hole under the hay, his eyes were full of anger, Qiao Chu actually dug a hole under his eyelids.
Han Yan's eyes gradually narrowed, and he had to admire Qiao Chu's city government: "He used a copper spoon to dig the soil, and when he was mining, he wrapped the broken soil in clothes, and then threw it down on the mountain, and used this hole to escape to the ordinary prison next door, and then bought the thieves and swaggered out of the cell, what a powerful method." ”
The cell boss lifted the thief from the ordinary cell, and found three pieces of silver from him, and scolded his mother angrily: "I really don't understand, he was only sentenced to three years in prison, and he will be released from prison in a few months, why did he go to great lengths to escape from prison early, and he didn't escape early, and he didn't escape early, and he didn't escape late, but he escaped from prison when I was on duty?" ”
Han Yan's heart trembled because of his words, the cell boss was right, if he wanted to escape, he might have escaped a long time ago, why did he escape from prison after he came to him to ask about Bai Jinghang.
And why did Qiao Chu want him to go to the Harrier Forest, did the three lives in the pit have anything to do with him?
And why, before he escaped, he asked the cell boss for a spoon and bribed him with clay as silver?
What is Qiao Chu's idea?
——
In the prison cell, Han Yan was contemplating at the table, while the cell boss stared at the fierce man on the door with a sad face: "I didn't expect Qiao Chu to open the prison door with my own hands and let him out, if the prefect knows, I won't be able to keep my job." ”
Han Yan glanced at him with his thoughts, and said lightly: "As long as you don't let people find out about Qiao Chu's disappearance in these few months, things will take a turn for the better."
The cell leader was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes shot out of joy: "Lord Han won't report me?" ”
Han Yan hooked his lips and smiled: "What, is the cell boss expecting me to go to the prefect to report you?" ”
"No, no, no." The cell leader's eyes were shining, and his face was full of joy: "Thank you Lord Han for your kindness, I will always remember it in my heart." ”
Han Yan glanced at him sideways, got up and left, the cell boss looked flattering, reminding him that when his father was alive, everyone in the court had this face, but his father was murdered and the whole family was imprisoned, and those flattering people drew a line with their father, which was really sad for human nature.
Han Yan was irritable in his heart, threw off his sleeves and ignored the flattery of the cell boss and got up to leave, when he walked to the door, he suddenly had a question in his heart and couldn't understand, his steps stagnated slightly, but he turned his head slightly and saw that the cell boss was holding a handkerchief and wiping the fierce on the door, his eyes suddenly widened, he rushed out in two steps, and took off the handkerchief in his hand and asked, "This handkerchief was used by Qiao Chu to wrap silver?" ”
"Yes, yes." The cell boss looked horrified.
Han Yan held the handkerchief in the palm of his hand, and also held the words embroidered on it, and hooked his lips coldly: "I didn't expect him to test me." ”
——
The sun gradually shifted, and the dazzling rays of light at noon poured down, pressing fiercely on the bodies of the three people outside Han Yanmen.
Han Yan drank tea slowly, raised his eyelids slightly to look at Li Chengdu who was standing at the front, and said with a smile: "Li Tongzhi, what a big battle." ”
Before Li Chengdu could speak, the two soldiers behind him snorted and said: "Little pusher, don't know what to do, you haven't cleared the charge of murder now, and it is the commander who has made the lord merciful and did not punish you. ”
"I don't know what to ......do" Han Yan put down the teacup, his eyes were like silver glow under the cold moon, and his face was particularly cold: "Commander Duan, if there is evidence to prove that I killed the person, he will come to me to ask me for the crime, if there is no evidence, I Han Yan will not wear the hat of this suspect!" ”
The soldier was so angry by Han Yan that he couldn't speak, Li Chengdu hurriedly played the round, and walked into the door as soon as he raised his legs, with a shrewd eye shining a glimmer: "Why should Lord Han be angry, you and I are colleagues, I will tell you some things directly,"
Han Yan looked at him coldly and showed favors, leaned close to him and whispered: "It's been two days since the henchman of the commander was killed, and the people of the yamen still have no clue, I think the commander may have to hand over the errand to you when he finds you." ”
Han Yan frowned at his words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he looked up at the soldiers outside the door, pursed his lips and hesitated.
"Lord Han is young and promising, if you want to show your ambitions, someone is indispensable to promote, as long as Lord Han does a good job, the commander will not treat you badly......" Li Chengdu raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, but changed his name: "Brother Han is a smart person, and there are some things that my brother doesn't need to say clearly." ”
Han Yanru was enlightened, and hurriedly leaned over to Li Chengdu: "Thank you brother for reminding me." ”
Li Chengdu held up his hands and said with a smile: "You and I are brothers, easy to say, easy to say." ”
After that, he turned around and walked out of the door, and saluted the two soldiers slightly: "Han Tuiguan will come out immediately." ”
The two of them snorted and shook their sleeves and left, Li Chengdu glanced back at Han Yan, hooked his lips and left.
Han Yan slowly straightened up, his face was still full of joy, but there was an unknown calculation and a snickering joy in his eyes.
With the leadership of the two soldiers, through the western suburbs of the military tun, when they came to Guiyang to command the envoy, the twilight was already deep.
Han Yan stood outside the door of the commanding envoy, but when he saw the heavy shadows of the trees and the night fog covering his eyes very tightly, he taught him not to see anything, just like his current situation, which was full of dangers.
But he knew in his heart that no matter how dangerous it was, he would clear his father's grievances and return his innocence.
It wasn't until Li Chengdu pulled him to Duan Changge that Han Yan became vigilant.
And this is Duan Changge's study, he is not wearing armor, but a white robe that almost drags the ground, the robe is wrapped in a layer of light yarn, and the evening breeze is full of light yarn, but there is a bit of bookish atmosphere.
"Commander Qiqi, Han Tuiguan has arrived."
Li Chengdu stood at the door and leaned over to report respectfully, Duan Changge was silent, the room was surprisingly quiet, I don't know how long it took, he finally raised his head from the thick pile of documents, and straightened down with a tired face, the wolf in his hand had already dried, Li Chengdu saw this, and hurriedly walked to the front and grinded for him.
"Han Tuiguan is fine."
Duan Changge was full of ink, and his eyelids were not raised, and he spoke casually.
"The subordinate officer is the commander of the section." Han Yan bowed at the door.
"This official is in charge of Xing Prison in Guiyang Mansion, you are also under the jurisdiction of this official, Lord Han took office, and now that the murder case in Guiyang Mansion has not been solved, it is time for you to report your service."
Han Yan listened to his serious words, lifted his robe and knelt down at him, respectfully kowtowed three times, and said word by word: "The lower officials dare not slack off, and the murderer will be punished." ”
Han Yan's words are powerful, and it has always been his long-cherished wish to punish the murderers and punish the traitors.
The wolf in the Duan Chang singer paused, raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "How many days do you plan to catch the murderer for this official?" ”
Han Yan raised his eyes and looked at him, sneering in his heart that this commander really held a grudge, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.
"Within ten days."
"Okay." Duan Changge threw down the pen in his hand, Li Chengdu caught it, and carefully placed it on the pen holder.
"Ten days later, if you can't solve this case, come and see you."
Han Yan's face changed slightly when he heard this, but when he saw Duan Changge slowly pacing in front of him, leaning over him slightly and burning his gaze, Han Yan suddenly felt that the world around him was like a pair of hands gradually tightening, and a sense of oppression squeezed towards him, making it difficult for him to breathe: "The officials under the jurisdiction of this official are not so easy to be, Han Yan, this official remembers you." ”
Han Yan was pierced by his gaze, but Duan Changge did not let him go, and raised his eyes to slide over the curve of his back in an interesting way, Han Yan's face immediately turned red, and he bowed his head respectfully again: "The lower official must live up to his mission." ”
Duan Changge chuckled and raised his leg to leave, and the feeling of oppression disappeared, Han Yan exhaled slightly, Li Chengdu walked up to him and stretched out his hand to help him, smiling extraordinarily brightly: "Young people are always more vigorous, and it is always good to hone and hone." ”
Han Yan withdrew his hand and didn't pay attention to the ridicule in his mouth, but smiled faintly: "Please also ask Li Tongzhi to take me to see the victim's body again." ”
Li Chengdu was slightly stunned, picked his lips and sneered for a few minutes before saying, "Okay, Lord Han should really hurry up." ”
The night wind was cold, blowing from afar, and there was no sound in Guiyang's command envoy Si Yizhuang, and even the common insects and birds in the wilderness would not be heard, and there was a dead silence.
When the two entered the house, the walls were dimly lit, and in the center of the room were three sets of door panels, on which lay three corpses, covered with white cloths.
"Have you found out the identity of the half-cut person?" Han Yan asked out loud.
"Chen Tingyu, who was recruited by the imperial court a few years ago, is just a pawn." Li Chengdu replied, paused and squinted his eyes and asked disdainfully: "Does Han Tuiguan really suspect that this half of the people are the murderers of Cai Guan?" ”
Han Yan ignored him, staring at the three male and female corpses, Harrier Zilin He had examined, half of the person Chen Tingyu died differently from the other two, this person is indeed suspicious, but if he is the murderer, who will be the person who killed him?
Must have left something out of the corpse?
Han Yan leaned over and examined the corpse again, his heart moved slightly, and he asked out loud, "Can you come to examine the corpse?" ”
Han Yan's arrogance made Li Chengdu unhappy, and he brushed his sleeves and sneered at this question: "It's almost the same as what Han Tuiguan said, and there is no specific conclusion!" ”
Han Yan didn't answer, his eyes were fixed on the lips of the female corpse, her lips were red and slightly swollen, he looked at the male corpse again, and found that he was the same.
Han Yan frowned, both of them were drowned, the cold water stimulation made the muscles delay, last night did not have this feature, he opened the lips of the two respectively, and found that there were staggered scars in the lips, as if they were scratched by something.
"Strange."
Han Yan fixed his gaze on the lips of the male corpse that had been lifted, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he slowly took out a crumb from between his teeth, even in such a dim light, it was still invisible.
"What is this?" Li Chengdu looked over curiously.
"Scraps of bamboo."
"Why did it appear in the mouth of the material officer?"
Han Yan shook his head, but his eyes were unusually firm: "This is what the corpse told us, waiting for us to find out what it is trying to tell us." ”
Li Chengdu looked at him with a firm and stubborn gaze flashing in his eyes, pursed his lips, and this time he did not ridicule him, but asked: "But why did Chen Tingyu die so badly, and how could there be traces of him on the two of them?" ”
Han Yan tightened the bamboo shavings in his palm, his eyes were deep and speechless, this is indeed the biggest question in this case, maybe if this question is revealed, this case will be revealed.
After contemplating for a moment, Han Yan suddenly looked back and asked Li Chengdu: "Why was this material official killed after recruiting prostitutes and getting drunk, and even prostitutes were killed, could it be that the murderer has a strange complex for soldiers to recruit prostitutes?" ”
"How do you know this person is a prostitute?" Li Chengdu was a little incredulous.
Han Yan looked back at him and smiled faintly: "Smell." ”
"What?"
"Butterfly incense, the women of the Qinglou basically use this incense powder to charm men, and I smelled the smell of this woman last night."
This time, Li Chengdu was a little impressed by him.
