Chapter Thirty-Nine: Saved the Demon Fox's Life
"Sun Zhengyuan's mansion?" Qu Jinglan glanced at her inexplicably, and she didn't know what she suddenly asked Sun Zhengyuan about, but he still replied truthfully, "It's not far from here, less than a mile away." ”
Less than a mile away? That is, it is not 500 meters? That is to say, if you hold on tightly, it should be in time!
"Lord Jing, quick, take me over!" Shangguan Qingyue hurriedly said to him, "I don't have time to explain now, in short, the demon fox is in danger!" ”
"yes, okay."
Even if Qu Jinglan didn't know whether Shangguan Qingyue's words were true or false, and how did he conclude that Zhongli Junqing and the others were in danger, he could see that she was in a hurry, and now Zhongli and the people from the Criminal Department did continue to investigate at Sun Zhengyuan's house, so he didn't say a word, he still grabbed Shangguan Qingyue's waist like last time, and immediately took a breath, and jumped away.
Kyoto Castle, Sun House.
With Qu Jinglan's assistance, Shangguan Qingyue and the others arrived at the door of Sun Zhengyuan's house in less than 30 seconds.
The night before, after discovering that he had fraudulently died, Qu Jinglan and Zhongli Junqing had completely banned this mansion, and more than 20 people of the Sun Mansion had disappeared from the world and disappeared.
In order to find clues, Zhongli Junqing and several subordinates of the Criminal Department conducted surveys in and around the house for several days, and today is no exception.
As soon as Shangguan Qingyue fell to the ground, he saw that the door was still closed, so he kicked down with a raised foot, and the door opened immediately.
Stepping into the door of the house, Shangguan Qingyue ran to the inner hall. Qu Jinglan followed closely and waved his hand to signal the subordinates of the Criminal Department not to stop her.
After a few seconds, Shangguan Qingyue finally arrived at the door of the inner hall, looked up, and happened to see an old man who was already a few years old raising the fire fold in his hand and was about to light a thick red candle......
"Stop, don't order!"
Shangguan Qingyue shouted, but the old man seemed to be a little slower because of his age, and saw that the starlight on the fire fold was about to touch the wick of the candle, so in a hurry, she quickly took off the boots on one foot, and then threw the candle in the old man's hand!
"Ahh
Thousands of calculations, but not at this moment, Zhongli Junqing suddenly appeared in front of the old man, only to see him subconsciously grab the boots galloping above his head, thinking that there was nothing wrong, but unexpectedly, a thick cloth pad fell out of the boots, and coincidentally fell directly on his handsome face......
Shangguan Qingyue covered her face, it's over, I'm afraid I'm going to have to explain it here tonight?
At the same time, a small pebble also hit the candle held by the old man with unmistakable accuracy, and the candle fell to the ground in response, but was not lit by it.
"Yue'er? What are you doing here? Zhongli Junqing paused, and only after seeing the person who came clearly did he ask with a smile.
"Uh, I'm sorry, Lord Zhongli......" Shangguan Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the crisis was over, so he hurriedly took back his boots from Zhongli Junqing, stuffed the cloth mat into it again, and put them on.
Fortunately, the candle was not lit, if the two of them were one step late, this Sun Mansion would have been razed to the ground, and Zhongli Junqing and others would also be blown to the ground.
This is exactly the scene in Shangguan Qingyue's mind, and it is also the main reason why Qu Jinglan quickly brought her to try her best to stop it.
Picked up the big red candle on the ground, gently twisted some candle powder and looked at it carefully, it turned out that the candle itself was fine, but ......
Shangguan Qingyue then hurriedly broke the candle from the middle, the candle was broken, and the cotton core was suddenly exposed, and then gently twisted it with her hand a few times, it was actually a little wet, and at the same time, a more pungent smell similar to gasoline penetrated her nostrils.
Gasoline? No, in ancient times, it should be called fire oil, right?
Not only Shangguan Qingyue, but even Qu Jinglan and Zhongli Junqing couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that there was fire oil hidden in the wick of the candle.
When it comes to fire oil, it's not trivial. It only takes a little, but if you encounter an ignition source, you can blow up the entire yard!
In other words, if Shangguan Qingyue hadn't appeared here and prevented this accident in time, then all the lives of less than ten people in the Criminal Department who stayed here would have died!
Therefore, the eyes of Zhongli Junqing and Qu Jinglan when they looked at Shangguan Qingyue were more complicated.
"Yue'er, in this way, it turns out that you saved us......"
“……”
Shangguan Qingyue did not answer, at this moment she was still frowning, sitting at the table with her hands on her cheeks, but her eyes never left the cotton wick of the candle, looking quite puzzled.
It's strange, why is this candle here? If the counterfeit copper coins and the poisoning case were all carried out by Sun Zhengyuan, since he had already made huge profits and escaped by fraud, why did he arrange to blow up his house? Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhongli Junqing and them? Or ...... There are still clues in this house that they haven't destroyed?!
Hair, that's right! In the courtyard on the outskirts of the city, in Cheng Feng's fingernails, and in Sun Zhengyuan's clothed mound, a section of hair with a slight yellowing at the root was found. The owner of the hair was under the age of thirty, and it was inferred from the well-dressed hair and torn underwear that it was probably Sun Zhengyuan's, and this was his inner house bedroom, so can you find the exact same thing again?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Qingyue immediately got up and ran into the inner room of the house, lifted the bed curtain, and carefully searched for it on the bed and around the inner room.
"What are you looking for?" Qu Jinglan and Zhongli Junqing glanced at each other and asked.
"Hair."
"Hair?" Zhongli Junqing crossed his arms, his fingertips groped his chin and pondered, "Sun Zhengyuan is also cunning, he has made it clean inside and out, in the past two days, I haven't found any hair or anything, only a piece of onion jade brocade fabric that has been discarded." ”
"Fabric?"
"Hmm." Zhongli Junqing said as he motioned to his subordinates to take out the preserved piece of slap cloth and spread it on the table. That's right, this piece of cloth is the same as the white underwear in Sun Zhengyuan's tomb that he dug with Qu Jinglan before, and it is all green and jade brocade.
It's just that there is no obvious handwriting on it except for pure white.
"I used to think that he would write something on it with colorless ink, so I baked it on the fire before, but in the end, I didn't find anything." Zhongli Junqing paused and continued to explain, "Including all the other rooms, and the backyard or something, except for some discarded sundries, there is nothing else of value. ”
"Didn't you?"
Shangguan Qingyue fell into deep thought again. If there's nothing left, then what are they going to do with the house? Or, is it just for a piece of fabric that Zhongli Junqing and the others found? Is it so much trouble? However, this is a green jade brocade, the emperor's reward, it's good to make an underwear, and the rest is only torn into a palm-sized piece of sliver and discarded, how do you think this cloth is very strange, and tonight's accident planning, maybe it really has a direct relationship with it, what is hidden in eighty percent.
"So, where did you find that red candle?" Compared with the onion jade brocade, Shangguan Qingyue was more curious about the appearance of candles. It is said that the Sun family is no longer there, and they are all from the Criminal Department, so it is impossible for outsiders to bring them in.
"The red candle was naturally brought from the Criminal Department, but everyone was very busy in the past two days, and it was found in the corner later." Zhongli Junqing paused slightly, thinking that he was really afraid of what had just happened. I have been in the Criminal Department for so long, and I have never seen any kind of thing, but who would have expected that I would be so careless, and I almost caused a catastrophe!
"Most of the things in the house have been emptied, but only the cloth has been left, which is not normal to think about." Qu Jinglan thought for a moment, got up and patted Zhongli Junqing on the shoulder and said, "This king has arranged people inside and outside the city, and is looking around for the traces of Sun Zhengyuan and his family, let's wait for news, it won't be long, I believe they won't be able to run far." ”
"Or, they don't need to run at all, but ......" Shangguan Qingyue stood behind the two of them, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of their coats at the same time, "What about them waiting for an opportunity behind their backs?" ”
"Oh? You mean......" Zhongli Junqing looked at her sideways, suddenly patted his head, and suddenly realized, "This candle has fire oil hidden in the wick, and it remains very moist, so that means that the candle must have been made and placed here in the last one to two days?" And the candles we brought were taken advantage of the opportunity to be dropped? ”
"Hmm." Shangguan Qingyue nodded approvingly, no wonder she felt more and more wrong when she looked at the candle just now, it turned out to be a matter of time! Sun Zhengyuan was said to have died violently seven days ago, and it should have been at that time that the Sun family quietly evacuated, and hurriedly made a grave as a cover-up, so it was impossible for this candle to stay at that time.
"But I've checked everywhere, inside and out, there are no secret passages or anything like that."
If someone can get in and out, there must be a passage, and it is impossible to escape.
"Who said they had to dig up the secret path or something, maybe they would disguise themselves as demons like you and sneak in and make trouble." Shangguan Qingyue shook his head, chuckled lightly, and continued, "Even a beautiful woman like me, they can be imitated vividly, let alone others? ”
"Poof!" Hearing this, Zhongli Junqing couldn't help but squirt out the tea he had just drunk, and even some of it had fallen on the surface of the cloth of the green jade brocade.
“……”
Shangguan Qingyue was just about to speak, but the afterglow of his eyes couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the slightest change in the cloth.
"Yue'er, what are you looking at?" Zhongli Junqing was stunned when he saw her, only looked at the piece of green jade brocade, and asked curiously.
"Demon fox, hurry up, go get some water!"
yes, why didn't you think about it just now? Yin and yang are wrong, and they are crooked! Seeing this, all the three people present suddenly lit up, what kind of mysterious thing could it be?
