Listening to Scarlet Cloud's words, Xue Jun was secretly happy in his heart.

Just as he was about to take Scarlet Cloud back to the princess's mansion, he heard a rush of footsteps outside.

The two of them immediately kept silent, and soon, Lu Li shouted outside the door in a panic: "Deputy Director, something happened!" ”

"What's the matter?" Xue Jun asked worriedly looking at the dark shadow outside through the door.

"There is a murder case in Erli outside the imperial capital."

"Find the Imperial Capital Mansion for the murder case."

Xue Jun frowned, the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department is to investigate and handle those outstanding cases that have been handed over to the Criminal Department, and it is not an ordinary official errand.

"But this murder is related to the case of the camellia corpse handed over to you."

Lu Li replied in a hurry outside: "The chief secretary just sent someone and said that you should come over and have a look." ”

"Got it."

Xue Jun sighed lightly, and halfway through his words, he turned to look at the scarlet clouds not far from the door, and when he saw him nodding, he added, "I'll go over here." ”

After a while, Lu Li left, Xue Jun frowned, and hurriedly rummaged through the table to find a brief description of the crime that Lu Li had given him before.

Before, he had focused on the fire in Nanyun Palace, and he hadn't seen the flower corpse case at all, and the ghost knew that the deceased appeared so quickly.

"You don't even know about this?"

Looking at Xue Jun, who was in a hurry at the moment, Scarlet Cloud suddenly spoke: "It seems that the Nine Horses are not too familiar with the affairs of the imperial capital. ”

"You know?" Hearing his words, Xue Jun looked at him suspiciously.

The corners of Scarlet Cloud's mouth turned up slightly: "Everyone in the imperial capital knows." ”

"Then you tell me about the things that everyone in the imperial capital knows."

Xue Junwu rummaged through a pile of files and spoke: "When the time comes, I will find it, and then I will directly see what the people of the imperial capital don't know." ”

"There is nothing in this case that the people of the imperial capital don't know, you might as well take me over directly, I am well versed in the art of assassination, and maybe it will help you a little."

Scarlet Cloud's face is a little eager to try, he likes to kill, he likes to see dead people, for this kind of murderer that the government can't catch, take a look at the other party's methods, sometimes it is more conducive to being a qualified assassin.

"You?"

Xue Junwu raised his head, as if he thought that Scarlet was doing a life business on the rivers and lakes, maybe it would really help: "Okay, anyway, I can't go back to the princess's mansion for the time being, you can come over and help me first." ”

... ...

The public carriage of the Crime Division of the Criminal Division of the Criminal Division quickly drove out of the Division.

On the carriage, Xue Junwu learned a rough idea from Scarlet Cloud.

The case of the corpse of the tea flower first appeared ten years ago, and when he heard that Xue Jun was worried ten years ago, he had a headache, and it seemed that everything happened ten years ago.

However, judging from the description of this case, it should have nothing to do with Ma Jiu or the Marquis of Tanglin, because this has always been an unsolved case, and the murderer has been committing murder for ten years, but he has never been caught, and no one has even seen it.

The only clue is that the murder scene is a headless corpse and a sword carved Camellia.

"Nine horses."

At this moment, Xue Junwu's voice came from the scarlet cloud: "I advise you not to put this case on the table, professional officials can't solve it for ten years, not to mention that you are still a gold-plated one." ”

"I don't like to hear that."

Xue Junwu opened his eyes and couldn't help but reply to him: "In his position, seek his government, do you understand?" I'm not here to eat white food. ”

"It doesn't matter if you eat it or not."

Scarlet Yun waved his hand, and the words in his mouth were even more ruthless: "You horses, haven't you been called empty salaries for thousands of years, and you still care about such a petty official." ”

"Then you still come along, why didn't you persuade me earlier." Xue Jun frowned, he didn't like to listen to this, although what others said was right.

"Because I also want to see what kind of person he is, who can hide from the government for ten years, and this kind of person's methods must be hidden deeply."

After Scarlet Cloud finished speaking, he turned his head and lifted the curtain to look out the window, and at this moment it was no longer a street or alley, but a dry grass flat covered with silver snow.

After a while, a thatched house built in the middle of a large lawn gradually appeared in front of me.

The carriage came to a slow stop in front of the house.

Xue Junwu jumped out of the carriage, Scarlet Cloud pretended to be his subordinates and followed closely, the wind outside the imperial capital was quite strong, and yesterday's goose feathers and heavy snow mixed with fine sand scraped on his face, somewhat painful.

Outside the fence gate of the courtyard, several Imperial Capital Mansion officials stared at them, and Xue Junwu took out the crime commander card to them.

"This time it doesn't seem like the usual ones." Scarlet Cloud looked around and said suddenly.

Xue Junyou also knew what he meant, Xue Junyan had already understood almost everything in the carriage just now, in the past ten years, there have been thirty-seven cases of this tea flower corpse, and none of the thirty-seven cases have occurred in the imperial capital, and they are all big families, and there has never been such a humble place.

"It's obvious that this is an outsider, or an acquaintance with the murderer, and was invited here."

Xue Jun put away the token, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a pungent fishy smell, thinking that it had been a while, he waved his hand in front of him: "I am really evil, I ran into this on the first day of taking office." ”

"You don't mean to throw up, do you?"

With a smile on his face, Scarlet Cloud seemed to suddenly remember something, so he spoke again: "Oh, look at my memory, the Nine Horses also killed a bully not long ago, so they shouldn't vomit when they see a dead person." ”

"You're suddenly a lot more cheerful." Xue Jun said angrily.

Scarlet Cloud didn't care: "That is, I have practiced the skill of killing, but there is nowhere to do it, I can only live a blind life." ”

While the two were talking, they walked into the innermost room together, which was an ordinary inner room, with an earthen kang on one side, a set of tables and chairs, and in addition, there was a headless corpse under the earthen kang.

"Look at his left arm." Scarlet Cloud was expressionless, tilting his head and glancing at Xue Jun.

"See."

Xue Junwu nodded: "Tea flowers, carved quite similarly." ”

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from behind them, and it seemed that the clothes were a puppet.

"Two adults."

The servant couldn't tell who was the deputy director of the crime department, Xue Junwu and Scarlet Yun, so they bowed together: "The villain is the emperor of the Imperial Mansion, and he is waiting for the two adults here on the order of the Imperial Capital Mansion Yin." ”

"Hmm."

Xue Jun replied worriedly, but there was still a bit of official authority on his face: "You can tell us about it." ”

"Yes."

The servant nodded, and looked at the corpse with eyebrows: "Imperial Mansion Yin has a life, and the Lord of the Crime Department is not allowed to tamper with the corpse before coming, so the villain just took a rough look." ”

"It was a male corpse, six feet four inches long, slightly fat, without a shirt, and wearing official boots on his feet. Nothing was found. ”

"The body is lying on its stomach, and there are no signs of a fight around, the villain believes that it should have been killed with a knife, and it was suddenly attacked from behind by the murderer in an unsuspecting state."

When the words fell, Xue Jun looked at Scarlet Cloud worriedly: "Do you think so too?" ”

"It's not as detailed as him, after all, he's a fake."

Scarlet Cloud's eyes kept staring at the wound as big as a porcelain bowl: "But it is indeed true that a knife kills you, and the opponent's martial arts are strong, and the moment the other party just noticed it, he waved the weapon in his hand and took the head directly." ”

"Is it a move by a person in the rivers and lakes?"

Hearing Xue Junwu ask, Scarlet Cloud immediately looked embarrassed, as if he felt that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, so he spoke: "Jianghu sects, there are many moves, not to mention such a corpse, as long as you have some strength, find a quick and ruthless attack, anyone can cause this kind of scene in front of you." ”

"That's right."

After Xue Junwu finished speaking, he saw that the corpse was not a solution, so he ordered him to find a few people to carry it away.

After about the time of the tea room, only a large pool of dried blood remained in the whole room, and only Xue Junwu and the two of them were left.

"You just looked wrong."

Xue Junwu looked at Scarlet Cloud again: "This time everyone has been called out by me, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Scarlet Cloud said bluntly: "It's not a knife kill, but a sword kill, that wound is not a normal person can tell what the murder weapon is, but I have been proficient in all kinds of weapons since I was a child, and I can see that the murderer uses a sword." ”

"With a sword?"

Xue Junwu seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately squatted on the ground and sniffed around the bloodstains, and sniffed very carefully.

Scarlet Cloud looked at it and frowned: "Can't you smell such a big smell of blood?" ”

"It's not."

Xue Junwu got up slowly: "When you said that you were quick and ruthless just now, I inexplicably remembered a person in my heart, and as for using a sword, my impression of her was even deeper." ”

"Who is it?" Scarlet Cloud asked.

"Someone I met not long ago."

Xue Junwu said that he naturally went to the place that had been agreed with the crown prince to retrieve the woman in black he met when he went to retrieve the wooden box, she was extremely fast at that time, and she stabbed the wound she suffered during the day in the night very accurately.

Xue Junwei also smelled it carefully just now, and there was indeed a pungent smell of herbs hidden in the thick smell of blood.

It should be certain that she is right, but why, why did she steal the two letters left by the princess in the wooden box, and why did she kill people all the time.

"Huh?"

Thinking in his heart, Xue Junwu suddenly saw that the earthen kang next to the bloodstain was a little discordant, when he was in the Taoist temple, the teacher was a bricked earthen kang, so he naturally knew something about this aspect.

"There's something wrong with this earthen kang."

Xue Junwu stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where he felt that he was in discord: "The soil here is a little thicker, and it is obviously painted from behind." ”

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, Scarlet Cloud kicked down.

Hollow, a few bricks mixed with soil clods poured in, smashing out thick dust, Xue Jun looked at the scarlet cloud in surprise.

Scarlet Cloud held out her hands, the expression on her face as if to say that it would be faster.

Xue Jun glanced at him worriedly, sighed lightly, squatted down and looked down, and before he could see the whole picture inside, a pungent smell rushed straight to his nose.

After glancing inside, he immediately stood up and covered his nose tightly.

"Someone!"

Xue Jun's whole face seemed to be dark, and he called out to the two imperial capital officials who were guarding the door outside: "You can find more people to come over, there are still corpses inside." ”
