Zhu Daniu and Bao Liuwen were nervously checking around, and when they heard Bao Qing's frightened scream, the two of them were really startled. The big cow was in front, and Bao Liuwen followed closely behind, desperately running to Bao Qing.

"What's wrong, what's the matter?" Zhu Daniu kicked open the room where Bao Qing was, and Bao Liuwen also followed.

"A male corpse!" Bao Qing said indifferently, without the frightened look just now, as if it wasn't his name at all just now.

"Then what are you screaming, you scared me to death!" Bao Liuwen frowned, pressed her right hand to her chest, and said with disgust in her mouth.

"Look at the wall!"

"Hey, a secret room! However, most of the rooms of the rich have secret rooms. By the way, how could this corpse be here, shouldn't it have been taken away by the government's pretenses? Bao Liuwen asked, then slowly walked up to Bao Qing and turned her head to look at the corpse.

"Ah, why is this man dead? Why is the mouth so wide open? It's not good, I was killed that day, why didn't it rot yet? Mo is not a zombie? Bao Liuwen took two steps back in fright.

"Are you scared? Rest assured, it's definitely not a zombie. Bao Qing's scalp was a little numb, and of course he wouldn't follow Bao Liuwen to explain too much, the closed and oxygen-deficient environment affected the speed of decay of the corpse. So he said, "When I inadvertently opened the secret room just now, in the dim light, I saw a black figure rushing towards me from the door of the secret room. Now you know why I screamed so miserably and in fear just now! ”

"No wonder, if it were me, I'd be scared on the spot! Why does it open its mouth wide, though. Also, why did it pounce on you? ”

"Needless to say, that secret room is a place to store goods, I just went in and looked around, and there is no vent at all! A big living person is inside, and he is not suffocated to death. If you think about it, he has no oxygen to breathe, so he desperately opens his mouth to breathe, and is locked in a secret room again, bent on trying to get out, and he doesn't pound and scratch at the door. No, he died on the door of the secret room in the end. As soon as I opened the door, he fell to my side. ”

"Oh, that's right. By the way, Brother Bao, what is oxygen? Why do you say what oxygen do we breathe? Bao Liuwen asked.

When Bao Qing heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and secretly scolded himself for being too talkative, so he had to say: "I said it wrong just now, it's air, it's the kind of breath that is inhaled and exhaled." ”

"Brother Bao, I've always wondered why we breathe in and out, I've been practicing medicine for many years, and I never told me!"

"Ahem, let's continue to investigate!" Bao Qing thought, this little girl really broke the casserole and asked to the end, did she tell her that the breath is to take in oxygen, the breath is to eliminate carbon dioxide, all this is for the metabolism of our body. Of course, Bao Qing wouldn't explain like this, so he had to cough quickly.

"Strange, Brother Bao, how did that person stay in the secret room and can't get out?" Bao Liuwen has a lot of questions.

"I guess I heard the killing movement outside, and felt that there was danger outside, so I hid in the secret room, who would have thought that this gangster was looking for goods everywhere, overturned the table, and just pressed on the mechanism of the secret room, and the door of the secret room was killed. The man was locked up in a secret room and suffocated to death. You don't know, the solid wood square table that fell to the ground is sinking, and I can't even move it. ”

At this time, Zhu Daniu suddenly became excited and shouted, "Brother Bao, come quickly!" We have made a fortune, and we have a lot of money! ”

"You're such a pig! Don't I know that there is money? What are you yelling about? In this dark night, when you find money, can't you do it quietly? ”

"Oh, Brother Bao! So what do you mean? Zhu Daniu asked.

"You're really a pig, what should you do if you find money? What are we doing running to Huairen County so tired? You find a bag, and the Jiaozi and copper coins are all sorted out, and they all take them away. By the way, there are also those precious calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and so on. ”

"Brother Bao, take it all away? It doesn't seem so good! My father said that it is best to be greedy for a fraction of the ink, so that you don't notice it. Bao Liuwen proposed.

"Big Niu, don't listen to her. Pack them all, take everything you can take away, and by the way, pick a good piece of jewelry for your own lady! "Bao Qing is not stupid, as long as no one reports it, these are all his own.

"Brother Bao, there are still a few books here, or I'll help you pack them up so you can go back and read them." Da Niu said.

"Books? It is said that calligraphy and painting are worth money! What's so good about this book! Bao Qing glanced at the book handed by Zhu Daniu.

Where is this book, it is clearly an account book. What kind of ledger is this, and it has to be kept in a secret room? Bao Qing ran over and flipped through the books, and two letters actually fell out of them.

The letter was also placed in the secret room, and it seemed that the letter was still quite important. Bao Qing opened the letter and looked at it carefully. After a long time, Bao Qing handed the letter to Bao Liuwen.

"Brother Bao, this letter was written by Lu Yijian, the prime minister of the dynasty!" Bao Liuwen said.

"Yes, this letter is too important, both letters are instructing the Lu family to act secretly, as if they are monitoring the Li family in Changchang County."

"I know the Li family, the Li family is one of the few big businessmen in our county, specializing in the supply of materials for river projects, and the materials for the embankment of the entire section of the Nanqi River in our county are supplied by the Li family."

"Is the head of the Li family called Li Jiujin? The name of the owner of this account book is Li Jiujin! ”

"Yes, it's called Li Jiujin, and this Li family is very big, it seems that Li Jiujin is the uncle of Li Hai, the waiter of the Ministry of Works. Every year, the river engineering materials are supplied by the Li family, but every year the embankment bursts, and they are all broken in the materials. My dad dared to be angry. No one can do anything about the Li family. Bao Liuwen seems to know more.

"So, this Lu family is the Li family! And it was commissioned by Lu Xiangye of the current dynasty. Bao Qingbelly slandered, this is afraid of infighting in the court. This kind of fairy fight, it's better not to participate in a little ghost like yourself.

"Come to think of it, Brother Bao, then look, is this Lu family a murderer bought by the Li family?" Bao Liuwen asked.

Bao Qing nodded and said, "There is this possibility, but we have to catch the direct murderer first." As for the mastermind behind the scenes, it is best not to touch it, even if it is, it should also throw the problem to the government. Let's see if we can catch the perpetrator and send him to the government office! ”

"Da Niu, bring everything back, the secret room is closed, put the body behind the screen in the corner, and notify the government to deal with it tomorrow." Bao Qing commanded.

Early the next morning, Bao Qing and the three of them came to the government office to check the files, and they checked until noon, when they finished checking all the files.

"Xiaowen, how do you look at the corpse?" Bao Qing asked.

Judging from the corpse list, most of the Lu family were killed with a knife, and most of the wounds were on the neck. The fatal wound on the neck is also not very deep, but it seems to be precise. Come to think of it, those gangsters are proficient in assassination. Bao Liuwen replied.

Bao Qing nodded, as previously estimated, these murderers were some killers who were good at assassination, and they were organized and planned. This is troublesome, it seems too mysterious to deal with a killer organization by yourself as a broken county lieutenant.

"Brother Bao, where are you!"

It is recorded in this file that at the time of the crime, the old man who played the watch passed by the Lu Mansion, and at the beginning of the Yin Dynasty, he heard the screams coming from the Lu Mansion, so he secretly leaned on the crack of the door to take a look. Finally, the old man was not frightened, so he ran to the mansion crying and shouting. Because the government knew that the Lu family was Lu Xiangye's clan, they attached great importance to it, and immediately dispatched all the arresters and officials to the scene of the crime, and closed the city gate at the same time. ”

"That's all? Are there any suspects or something? Bao Liuwen was very disappointed.

"Yes! But it's just to show them! I guess that they really can't find the murderer, so they arrested Zhanfang and them, which is really hateful. By the way, I did a rough calculation, and it would only take a hundred breaths for the old man to run to the yamen, and the Lu Mansion was still very close to the yamen. This catch is relatively fast, and it looks like a maximum of 200 breaths before and after, and it is not more than the middle hour, and Luzhou is closed at night. ”

"In other words, those murderers only have two hundred breaths to escape, and when the arrest is about to arrive, even if they can leave the scene of the murder, they don't have time to escape out of the city? That's right, Brother Bao! Bao Liuwen hurriedly interjected.

"Brother Bao, I don't understand what you said, those murderers can't get out of the city, it's a big deal to go out of the city when the city gate opens during the day, isn't it the same?" Zhu Daniu couldn't help but interject when he saw Bao Qing and Bao Liuwen chatting happily.

"Don't interject, those murderers wait for the city gates to open during the day before leaving the city, so how can they hide when the whole city is searched? You know, there are a lot of them, at least dozens of people! Bao Liuwen pouted and glanced at Zhu Daniu.

"Xiaowen is right, this is the most important clue at present. We basically believe that this murder case is a premeditated and organized case, and the murderers are all assassins who are good at assassination, and these killers plan to assassinate Lu Shimanmen. After the assassination was completed, find a place to stay in this Luzhou city and hide, and then after the wind passed, the city gate was opened and left one after another. I estimate that before the murder, these killers also dispersed into the city in disguise, and the hiding place afterwards is likely to be the foothold where they entered the city. Bao Qing thought for a while and said.

"If that's the case, isn't that place the rudder of the killer organization?"

"Quite possibly, but it's all wishful thinking on our own. If there is such a so-called rudder, we might as well think about it, where is the possibility? Bao Qing has actually been thinking about this question for a long time, the key is that he is not familiar with Luzhou City, and he has no way to guess.

"This, in fact, I'm not familiar with Luzhou City." After Bao Liuwen finished speaking, she saw that Bao Qing was slightly disappointed, bit her lip, and then said, "You can ask Sister Yanran to ask, she must understand."

Bao Qing didn't speak, the key is that he didn't know what to say!

After finishing the meal, Bao Liuwen really found Dong Yanran, followed by the maid Xiaolan.

Bao Qing glanced up at Dong Yanran slightly, a little surprised. This Miss Dong seems to have lost a little bit again, and her face is yellow and her spirit is not good.

Dong Yanran saw Bao Qing looking over, turned her head slightly, and coughed twice: "Some time ago, I was occasionally caught with a cold and had some coughs. ”

"Sister Yanran, you are in poor health, I really shouldn't trouble you!" Bao Liuwen felt a little guilty in her heart, and turned to glare at Bao Qing, "It's all your fault, Sister Yanran quarreled with his father for you, and he was grounded some time ago." That tall woman, how can we be good, what a thin lover! ”

After Liu Wen finished speaking, she walked straight to Dong Yanran's side, helped Dong Yanran, and chatted very warmly. Bao Qing was speechless, didn't these two women have a little bit of a problem before? What is this now? Reconciled?
