Yuan Qing was sad for two or three days, and then regained his strength, things are the same as I expected, this case has entered a dead end, the autopsy said that the deceased were all killed in the middle of the night, the method of killing can be seen that the killer must be a group of people, the weapons are all long knives, but there are still some people with stick wounds on their bodies, ordinary killers do not use sticks as killing weapons, but hidden weapons, or common knives, guns and swords. Because there are no people on the long street at midnight, and there are restaurants and music shops all around, there are many people who often come and go, and it is impossible to check in detail. Jing Zhaoyin's men began to look for Yuan Qing, after all, Yuan Qing was the only one left in this Yangliu Pavilion.

After the beginning of summer, the hot weather is to make the blood stains left in the Yangliu Pavilion, emitting a stinky smell, everyone passing by the Yangliu Pavilion is covering their mouths and noses, and they are hurrying. Jing Zhaoyin really couldn't decide the case, so he reported it to heaven. The empress was even more angry, someone at the feet of the Son of Heaven dared to kill the killer so badly, and let Wei Ru, the young secretary of Dali Temple, take over the case, supplemented by Ji Heng.

Wei Ru really interrogated Liu Changyuan.

Liu Changyuan commanded Jin Wuwei and had his own mansion, and he did not live in Liufu with his father. Wei Ru came to the door that day, Liu Changyuan was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and when he saw that it was Wei Ru is and He Zhou's envoy, he also asked politely: "I don't know what Lord Wei came to the door, after I opened another mansion, few people came to the door, my father's door threshold was about to be broken, and Lord Wei didn't come to me to chat, if there is anything important, just say it." Liu Changyuan led Wei Rushi and He Zhou into the main hall and asked the maid to make tea.

Wei Ru sat down before he said: "Some time ago, Lord Liu must have heard about the thirteen lives of Yangliu Pavilion, and Jing Zhaoyin's subordinates have already experienced corpses, and they only said that those people were killed at midnight, and those who wanted to come and go on the long street at midnight were only the soldiers of Jin Wuwei, and they came down today, just to ask Lord Liu's subordinates if they had seen anything different that day." ”

Liu Changyuan smiled lightly: "What should I do, Lord Wei can ask at will." ”

Wei Ru took a sip of tea gently: "I heard that a few months ago, Lord Liu once went to Yangliu Pavilion in civilian clothes to arrest people, but I didn't mean anything here, I just heard about it, so I asked." ”

Liu Changyuan was still full of smiles: "I once went to catch a Persian thief, and now he has been imprisoned in Jing Zhaoyin's house, he stole a lot of collections or treasures of famous nobles in the capital, and even my Liu family was also remembered, that day I just heard that Yangliu Pavilion entered a Persian, I just went to take a look, and I didn't have a verbal dispute with the people of Yangliu Pavilion, if Lord Wei doesn't believe it, you can go to Jing Zhaoyin to ask, is there such a person, Changyuan will not be at the feet of the Son of Heaven, commit a murder, It's too daring. ”

Wei Ru got up and arched his hand and said: "It's such a nuisance today, please don't be surprised by Lord Liu, now this case is personally assigned by the empress to me and Ji Hengren, the secretary of the Criminal Department, in the end, the Son of Heaven has an order, and Lord Ji and I have to handle the case well." Thirteen lives happened right under His Majesty's nose, and if you think it's a big deal, Lord Liu will definitely be able to understand it. ”

Liu Changyuan also arched his hand and said: "Lord Wei is polite, I know that Her Majesty the Empress personally sent you and Lord Ji to investigate this matter thoroughly, I think Jing Zhaoyin has never handled such a case, human life is at stake, and I also heard that those dead died miserably, so what can Liu's Jin Wuwei help, he will definitely do his best, now he just wants to go to Jin Wuwei to ask questions, how can Liu deal with Lord Wei." ”

Coming out of Liu Changyuan's mansion, He Zhou reminded: "My lord, He Zhou suddenly remembered that in addition to the Jin Wuwei patrolling on the long street in the middle of the night, there are also people who work on the guard every day, so you might as well ask." ”

Wei Ru nodded, and the two went to inquire about the residence of the watchman, and as soon as they arrived, they saw that the watchman's residence was burned by the fire, and the surrounding neighbors and neighbors lamented: "Shouchao is also a good person, I don't know why he suffered this catastrophe, the family was burned alive, and he didn't escape from that house." ”

Wei Ru then rode on his horse and instructed He Zhou: "Go to Dali Temple and send someone to come over to inquire carefully, and tell Jing Zhaoyin that the matter of being burned to death by the family has been taken over by Dali Temple, so he doesn't have to worry about it." ”

He Zhou hurried to Jing Zhao Yin but met Ji Heng, and after talking to Ji Heng, Ji Heng and He Zhou went to Jing Zhao Yin's mansion together, Jing Zhao Yin understood that the matter was big, and he couldn't wait to throw this hot potato to others. Naturally, he gladly agreed.

It was naturally easy for Jin Xuansi to know some of the situation, and Sun Er only asked me: "Lord Siqing, now this case seems to have some eyebrows, but the people who beat the guard have also been eliminated, and the people of Yangliu Pavilion have also been killed, so Miss Yuanqing, we have to inform Ji Heng and Wei Ru are two adults." ”

I shook my head: "No one can be trusted now, I have a way to let Yuanqing live in the safest place." ”

Sun Er was already an old fritter in Chang'an City, so he naturally understood that I was talking about the palace, so he asked: "It's naturally easy to insert into the palace, but can Your Majesty tell me?" ”

I chuckled: "Naturally, I want to tell you, so I said that I was my cousin from afar, and she was sent to the palace to do some rough work, but now that the case has not been revealed, it can only be hidden like this." Others haven't shown their tails yet, so we naturally can't easily lift that layer of cloth, and we don't dare to speculate on the empress's thoughts, so we must protect them first. Wei Ru is adult side can just inform you, this case is very long. It's not something that can be found out in a day or two, and my house is not a suitable place after all. After all, there are many people staring, and if you are not careful, this only human witness will be gone. In other palaces, it is easy to have eyeliner, so I am relieved to be arranged by Qi Xin's side. ”

After saying that, I asked Sun Er to invite Wei Ru is Lord Wei to come to my house, Lord Wei and I don't have much personal friendship, but I still came to the door, He Zhou followed, together with Ji Hengren, I only let Yuan Qing see them, they saw that Yuan Qing still had bandages on his arms, and there were slight blood stains, and they were stunned.

Yuan Qing knelt down: "Yuan Qing is a person from Yangliu Pavilion, he was chased and killed and ran to the vicinity of Lord Shangguan's mansion, so he was not killed, and now he also asks the two adults to call the shots, and now no one in Yuanqing can be trusted, but the people of Yang Liu Pavilion were slaughtered, and Yuan Qing has nowhere to go, so he can only ask Lord Shangguan for protection." I can only ask the two adults to find out thoroughly. ”.

Now it is a little too early to reveal her life experience and inventory, and there is no evidence that Si Yanque and the Liu family have moved, so I can only say: "Yuanqing is a poor person, this case is a big matter, and my Jinxuansi is logically untouchable, but in this Chang'an City, the two adults also know that if it is about scheming and treachery, I am afraid that the black hand in the dark will never know who it is, and relatively no one in my house dares to move, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, and I will intentionally send Yuanqing into the palace and put it next to Qi Xin, It is better to leave it as the only certification to avoid any mistakes. However, Yuan Qing's identity must be concealed with the help of two adults, so as not to startle the snake. ”

Wei Ru and Ji Heng glanced at each other: "Lord Shangguan is right, it is my Dali Temple and Ji Heng's criminal department, and it is not safe, now I just feel that this case is not an ordinary murder case, I only think that I can dig out something deeper, but I can't say what it feels like, everything is up to Lord Shangguan." ”

Ji Heng used to be my grandfather's protégé, so he was naturally quite kind to me, so he also said: "Lord Shangguan is smart, if it comes to handling cases, Ji Heng is not Lord Wei and Lord Shangguan, so the empress is naturally an excellent place to protect her, and it is expected that no one will notice that Miss Yuanqing is by the empress's side." ”

At this time, Ji Heng's subordinates came in to report: "Tell a few adults, now Yangliu Pavilion is also on fire, the fire is very big, and it has burned several shops around. ”

We glanced at each other, and Wei Ru only said: "Heh, this case is getting more and more complicated, after Ji Heng and I take over, there are still people who dare to make a move, then I just have to dig a good dig to see who is so bold." ”
