The crescent moon rose, and Qi Chen was at the door of the mansion hall, shouting something to his group of fast catchers, with a red face and top ambition. The catchers also responded loudly one after another.

Squinted and saw Tie Lingshuang as if he had eaten enough, and strode towards him with a solemn face. pulled down his face and glanced at the brothers, and a group of brothers were also silent, staring at Tie Lingshuang in unison.

Holding the hilt of the sword, he kept rubbing, looking at the four-foot subway Lingshuang in front of him, Tie Lingshuang glanced at the row of tall, short, fat and thin people around him, remembering that he was also begging for help, he raised his hand at Qi Chen, he hugged his fist, and instantly withdrew his hand back to his waist,

"Qi Zhutou, I have found a clue, and I need you to take the fast brothers to track it down. ”

After speaking, he looked at Qi Chen quietly, waiting for his reply.

After receiving the gift, he naturally wanted to return the gift, feeling that he still had a lot of weight, Qi Chen's chin was raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly pulled back, he slowly raised his hand to Tie Lingshuang, made a fist in a proper manner, slowly lowered his hands, crossed his waist with his left hand, held the hilt of the long sword with his right hand, and smiled at Tie Lingshuang, whose brows were gradually frowning,

"Lord Tie, there are also clues about the lowly position, these brothers behind the lowly position just listened to the arrangement of the lowly position, and are about to arrange it, there are not many of us, Lord Tie, please find someone else."

After speaking, he proudly raised his eyebrows at the grinning brothers on the side, turned around and threw up his arms and was about to stride away.

"Ding"

The tip of the gun pointed to the ground, Tie Lingshuang's eyebrows raised, as cold as a sword, phoenix eyes with frost, staring at Qi Chen's turned face, and said coldly,

"Qi Zhutou, I order you, take your subordinates, and follow me to follow the clues. ”

Taking a long breath of hot air, Qi Chen turned around and pursed his lips, glanced at the bronze medal of the brocade guard on Tie Lingshuang's waist, and raised his tiger eyes to Tie Lingshuang,

"Lord Tie, although you are a Shangguan, will you be too anxious to point fingers at will as soon as you take over the case? I have found a clue, and now I am about to go to the arrangement, and I can't take my brothers to work blindly because of your random orders. ”

Don't get angry, press, press. Comforting himself softly in his heart, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, Tie Lingshuang nodded, slowing down his tone,

"Okay, then let's both tell our respective clues, and whoever is reliable will listen to whomever they are. How?"

Straightening up his waist, he won face, Qi Chen looked at the brothers around him looking at him with even more admiration, smiled proudly, and nodded leisurely at Tie Lingshuang, who was staring at him with flickering eyes.

Before he could open his mouth to speak, Tie Lingshuang strode out and said Come with me, and entered the yamen. After taking a loss, he rolled his eyes, glanced at his brothers, and followed Tie Lingshuang into the door.

In the side room of the yamen, Tie Lingshuang glanced around, and raised his chin at Qi Chen, who followed him,

"Qi Zhutou, tell me your clues. ”

Why? I bothered to figure out the clues, if you just opened your mouth and said the same thing, then do I still have face? Qi Chen also learned well, and raised his chin at Tie Lingshuang,

"Don't dare to be humble, let's listen to Lord Tie's opinion first. ”

"Ding" The green bricks shattered, Tie Lingshuang let out a sigh of relief, raised the iron gun in his hand, held the tail of the gun tightly, the tip of the gun was facing the sky, looking at the posture, it should be a whipping routine.

Happy in his heart, he smiled, raised his hand and shook it, Qi Chen opened his mouth and said,

"Take a gamble! Whoever loses will be the first to tell. ”

Raising his eyebrows and angry eyes, looking at him grinning, the iron gun in Tie Lingshuang's hand shook a few times, but it didn't fall after all, closed his eyes and adjusted the churning blood, opened his eyes, and nodded,

"How to bet?"

Skillfully took out three sieves from his arms and played with them in his hands, Qi Chen closed his eyes angrily and breathed Tie Lingshuang, and said,

"The one with the bigger wins. ”

"Good!"

A gentleman's word. ”

"Whip the horse!"

There was no need for a sieve cup, Qi Chen's left hand stretched out the five fingers, closed slightly, and made a cup, and the three sieves in his right hand were thrown into the sky, and his left hand began to shake rapidly, only to see the three sieves fall into his left hand, rolling and spinning between his fingers.

Shaking his head and glancing at Qi Chen, who looked like a gambler, he saw that his fingers trembled, the golden light flickered, and a slight Buddhist rhyme buzzed out, flashing a trace of appreciation. This lay disciple of Buddhism can actually practice with his body to bring rhyme, which is basically the pinnacle.

In the temple, lay disciples can only practice the most basic Buddhist internal skills and hand and foot kung fu, and the secret transmission of absolute learning is not ordained by those who have received ordination, and cannot be taught. Nodding slightly, he shook his head casually, Buddhism kung fu is used to bet on the sieve, and the Buddha knows it, and he will ascend to heaven.

Glancing at Tie Lingshuang proudly, he raised his leg and walked to the bookcase, his wrist shook, and three sieves jumped out, drawing an arc, and fell silently on the bookcase. I saw that the three sieves were dripping and turning for a long time, and three soft sounds came.

"Leopard, you've lost. ”

Grinning at the expressionless Tie Lingshuang, Qi Chen was like drinking fine wine, hearty, the sullenness he had suffered in the past few days disappeared in an instant, his heart was open, and the corners of his mouth became bigger and bigger.

Glancing contemptuously at Qi Chen, who was a villain, Tie Lingshuang stepped forward, grabbed the triumphant three six points on the bookcase with his left hand, and watched me send you to hell. With a flick of his hand, he slapped it on the bookcase, withdrew his hand, his feather eyebrows flew obliquely, his phoenix eyes were shining, and he was radiant, facing Qi Chen, and the corners of his mouth were raised.

"Tell me, what's your clue?"

was stared at by the phoenix's eyes, his face turned red, and he turned his head to look at the bookcase, and the tiger's eyes turned into bull's eyes, if it weren't for the eye sockets buttoned, it was estimated that it would have fallen on the table.

A bunch of sieves were broken, but every point was towards it, how many were three blackjacks?

"You're unruly!"

"Don't talk nonsense, the casino only talks about winning or losing, just admit defeat and follow me to investigate the case, let's treat it as if we haven't gambled." ”

Yangyue's red lips had a melodious smile, looking at Qi Chen, whose angry lips were trembling, Tie Lingshuang was also happy. Trembling for a long time, Qi Chen mourned for a while and followed his sieve for more than ten years, willing to gamble and lose, his heart was like ashes, and his face was indifferent. nodded, as if he had forgotten everything just now, straightened his clothes, and said seriously,

"I went to the mortuary and looked through the files, these three families are all rich and noble, the corpses are all boys about ten years old, and the place where the murder happened is not far from the Qinglou, so I asked the brothers to collect the city of Hangzhou, how many such families are there, and we must arrange people to protect them. ”

After speaking, he walked to the chair on the side and sat down without any fireworks, leaned on the back of the chair, watched the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and slowly breathed.

Ignoring Qi Chen, Tie Lingshuang nodded, his fingers tapping on the iron gun, and thinking quietly. Yes, it's all rich and noble families and boys, this is a clue, but the scope is too large, but it's hard to protect it.

It's more reliable to be near the Qinglou, and when I went to the scene today, I could see the nearby Qinglou people, I didn't care, I didn't want this person to be too stupid. Thinking of that faint fragrance, my mind turned slightly, and my eyes lit up.

The fireworks woman prefers to take strong fragrances, and the scene of the crime is probably near the Qinglou to cover up the fragrance, so the time of the crime was chosen on the Rouge Festival, which should have been planned in advance. I thought of the dried peony flower, the peony bloom period was in April and May, and now it is July, and the preparation time for this is at least more than three months.

After breathing for a long time, the sadness finally subsided a little, Qi Chen raised his eyes just in time to see Tie Lingshuang shaking his head, and immediately pulled down his face, and was about to get angry, Tie Lingshuang opened his mouth first.

"Yes, this clue is very important, but we have limited manpower, there are so many households in Hangzhou City, but the boy's family is not one thousand but eight hundred, and there are many Qinglou, just rely on the few people outside you, you can't keep it. ”

Bai Tie Lingshuang glanced at her, ignored her, stretched out his hand, the meaning was very clear, it was your turn. didn't have time to intrigue with him anymore, nodded, Tie Lingshuang said,

"The three families that died, each of them had a pot of peony flowers, the same variety, and the pruning was also the handiwork of the same person, which looked like a very precious peony. ”

looked at Qi Chen's eyes for a moment, his face was slightly stagnant, and then said,

"Find a clever brother, go to the scene of the murder to see the next three pots of peonies, don't move, and then go to the famous flower field in Hangzhou to inquire, see where the flowers come from, don't alarm them before identifying the murderer." ”

Touching his chin, Qi Chen nodded involuntarily, and a spirit, reacted, and shook his head again,

"What's wrong with the rich and noble people buying a few pots of peonies, and the people in Hangzhou City who buy peony flowers don't have a thousand but eight hundred, which is also a clue?"

Sneered, looking at Qi Chen, who was pretending to be stubborn with a flickering gaze, Tie Lingshuang ignored him, reached out and took out the bronze gossip from his arms, and put it on the table,

"The second one, the one surnamed Fan in the southwest who is in the wine business, I was killed a few days before I came, there are new marks of impact at the wellhead, that is, traces of the last few days, I jumped down and found this. ”

Looking towards the table, seeing that it was just a gossip seal plate with a whole body of blue and yellow, a little copper embroidery, and black and mottled, Qi Chen glanced at it, sighed impatiently, turned his head, and said to Tie Lingshuang,

"There are a lot of these things in Hangzhou City. Many people are superstitious and think that this can ward off demons and monsters, so they hang it at the door and put it in the main room and study, so it's not strange, right? ”

Stretched out his hand and knocked on the copper gossip, which made a crisp sound, seeing that Qi Chen turned his head to look at the gossip, Tie Lingshuang pointed to the inch-long scorched black marks on the top of the white tiger's head on the back, and turned it over again, making him look at the four one-finger-long scorched black marks on the front,

"There is a fragrance, the same as the fragrance on the corpse, when it was first fished up, these charred black marks were slightly prickly, it was new. ”

Rolling his eyes, Qi Chen sneered, and looked up and down at Tie Lingshuang, who patiently explained to him,

"Be clear. Not too clear. ”

didn't bother to be angry again, Tie Lingshuang said,

"The consciousness is that it is very likely that the murderer was injured by this copper gossip, and was angry and thrown into the well. ”

Waving his hand, not wanting to listen to Tie Lingshuang anymore, Qi Chen got up and said impatiently,

"Thing, ghost, hmph, you are a brocade guard, and your skills are also very good, I didn't expect to believe this. ”

Seeing that Tie Lingshuang was about to open his mouth to explain, he waved his hand,

"The matter of the peony flower, I will arrange for the clever brother to check the clues, as for the other gods and monsters are messy, you want to check it yourself, what kind of monsters are there? I admire you for jumping down the bottom of the well to fish for this thing alone, but I don't believe in ghosts. ”

After that, he turned around and walked towards the door, Tie Lingshuang looked at his back, frowned, flashed over, stretched out his hand to stop him, looked at the impatience in his eyes, nodded, raised the front of the gossip, put it in front of Qi Chen, pointed his finger at the four scorched black marks, and said,

"Okay, no matter what he is, this thing, this person, a palm, must have burnt black burn marks, just check such a person. Is that okay?"

Patiently, after coaxing a child, he looked sideways, only to see Qi Chen's face dull, his eyes widened, he reached out and grabbed the bronze gossip, his fingers rubbed the scorched black mark that was still slightly piercing, and he could feel that there was a fine dust slowly falling off with the sliding of his fingers, and his fingers were placed on the end of his nose, and the smell of bronze embroidery was mixed with a smell of pasty kebabs, and there was a trace of the same fragrance on the bitter master.

gasped, and said to Tie Lingshuang in disbelief,

"I met a guy today who had a burned left hand. ”
