Volume 1: The Case of Linzhou Genius Chapter 13: Linfang Mansion
"Wow!" Duan Ming turned his head sideways, and the long knife grazed his cheek and pierced the wall next to him.
Duan Ming's legs went limp, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he slowly sat on the ground.
Almost, almost he was about to be pierced through the head by this long knife!
"Mr. Duan!" And at this moment, Xing Qianqiu had already subdued the man in black in front of him, and looked at Duan Ming nervously.
"No, it's fine." Duan Ming leaned against the wall and wanted to stand up, but his feet slipped and he sat down again.
"Your Excellency!" At the same time, the soldiers on patrol rushed over, and when they saw the situation here, their faces suddenly changed.
"Take him back, and I'll try him myself!" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Several soldiers clenched their fists.
However, at this moment, the man in black suddenly burst out, reached out and directly grabbed the long knife of the nearest soldier, and slashed his neck with his backhand.
"Damn it!" Xing Qianqiu wanted to stop it, but it was too late, he didn't expect this person to be so simple.
"It's fine." Duan Ming walked over with trembling legs, and put a hand on Xing Qianqiu's shoulder: "Everything he can say has been said." ”
"You mean......" Xing Qianqiu recalled Duan Ming's words just now: "I know." ”
"Hmm. You can go back and deal with it. Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "I'll go back and rest for a while, and tomorrow you accompany me to the house of those four talented people." ”
"Okay." Xing Qianqiu nodded, and hurried back towards the Spiegel Division.
These people commit suicide if they don't agree with each other, and Xing Qianqiu must subdue that person before he reacts!
"Ugh." Duan Ming looked at the soldiers on both sides, and his face was bitter: "Ladies and gentlemen, my hometown helped me, my legs were weak, and I couldn't walk a little." ”
Early the next morning, Duan Ming had just gotten up when he saw Xing Qianqiu already waiting outside the door.
"You haven't slept all night?" Duan Ming sighed: "This body will not be able to hold on." ”
"The man didn't say anything." Xing Qianqiu's face was like frost: "But it's okay, I'll always say it." ”
"Okay, okay, you can boil, you belong to the eagle!" Duan Ming gave Xing Qianqiu a thumbs up: "Then let's go, let's go to the four families to have a look." ”
Then Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu walked towards the Fang family.
"You mean Old Lady Fang has died?" On the way, Xing Qianqiu listened to Duan Ming's words, and his brows furrowed: "Why didn't we get any news at all?" ”
"To tell you the truth, your Spiegel Division's intelligence gathering efforts are simply weak." Duan Ming pursed his lips: "But this is also due to the fact that the Fang family has done everything possible to conceal it." ”
"But why are they hiding it?" Xing Qianqiu pondered: "The thieves broke in, and Old Lady Fang died, no matter what, it shouldn't be hidden. ”
"That's what's wrong with it." Duan Ming said: "Just like that talented man Fang Wei, there must be something strange inside. ”
"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "But just the two of us?" Do I need to mobilize a team of Spiegels to conduct a search? ”
"You, you." Duan Ming shook his head: "People haven't reported the case, what are you investigating?" The Fang family is also a well-known figure in the capital, just go in and search, if people sue the emperor, you won't feel good. ”
"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Then what should I do?" ”
"I happened to hear that Old Lady Fang had passed away, isn't it normal for you, as the deputy commander of the Spiegel Division, to go and offer condolences?" Duan Ming shook his head: "Mentioning the cause of death in the conversation, and knowing that the thief entered the mansion, isn't it reasonable for you to enthusiastically help investigate?" ”
"Zealous?" Xing Qianqiu was stunned: "What kind of hot method?" ”
“…… Anyway, don't be like you did when you first asked me for it. Duan Ming sighed: "Anyway, didn't you have a lot of ideas at that time?" Why are you stupid now? ”
"Huh." Xing Qianqiu sneered.
The location of Fangfu is located in the south of Linyang City, and the gate of the mansion is located on the edge of Suzaku Street, and the gatehouse is towering, which is very spectacular.
"Knock knock!" Xing Qianqiu knocked lightly on the door, and soon a porter ran over and opened the door.
The porter looked at Xing Qianqiu outside the door, and his face suddenly changed: "Wait a minute, the younger one will go and inform the master." ”
Then the porter closed the door and ran towards the interior of the mansion.
"Well, you haven't spoken yet, what is he going to inform?" Duan Ming was stunned for a moment, and said with some doubts.
"The concierge of the wealthy family has one ability, that is, not to forget." Xing Qianqiu explained: "The porter will know the appearance of almost every powerful person in the whole city, so as not to offend people. ”
"What's more, when Fang Wei died some time ago, I came here to investigate. There was a one-sided relationship, and the concierge naturally remembered it more deeply. ”
"Awesome, awesome!" Duan Ming nodded, sure enough, it was not easy to do.
As soon as the words fell, the door opened little by little, and then a middle-aged man walked out quickly.
"Haha, the criminal commander, why didn't you notify me in advance? Is there any end to my son's affairs? "The middle-aged man was a burly man with a beard and looked more like a martial artist than a scholar.
"Lord Fang." Xing Qianqiu hugged his fists: "Ling Lang's matter has been resolved, but there has been no result yet." ”
"I'm bothered by the labor and punishment instructions." The middle-aged man nodded, and then made a gesture of please to the house: "Please also talk to the house." ”
"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu was also not polite, and walked towards the house with Duan Ming.
"This Lord Fang is Fang Wei's father. He used to be the prince's companion, and later invited himself back to Linyang City for retirement. Xing Qianqiu said in a low voice.
"Oh? Don't want a bright future, come back at a young age? Duan Ming looked at Lord Fang in front of him in some surprise, his eyes narrowed slightly: "If something goes wrong, there must be demons." ”
"Definitely. Even we, the Spiegel Division, couldn't figure out why he invited himself. Xing Qianqiu nodded.
Soon several people came to the Fang family's living room, and after they sat down one by one, Lord Fang instructed his subordinates to prepare dried fruit refreshments for Xing Qianqiu and Duan Ming, which was very thoughtful.
"Commander of the criminal department, haven't you asked, who is this?" Lord Fang looked at Duan Ming.
"Oh, this is ......" Xing Qianqiu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Duan Ming stretching out his hand.
"In Xia Xianyun Yehe, I don't know Lord Fang when I said it, so ah, it's better not to say it." Duan Ming said with a smile.
"So it's a strange man in the world." Lord Fang looked at Xing Qianqiu with a smile: "It's rare to see people who dare to interrupt the torture commander to speak." ”
"It's just that Master Xing doesn't care about me, I'm not a strange person." Duan Ming shook his head.
"Haha, okay." Lord Fang smiled and looked at Xing Qianqiu again: "It's just that I don't know what happened to the criminal commander who came here recently?" ”
"Lord Fang, Xing happened to hear that the old lady of your mansion Fang passed away, so he came to offer condolences." Xing Qianqiu said and looked around: "Just look at the ...... in this house"
"It's worthy of Spiegel." The teacup in Master Fang's hand shook slightly, and then put it on the table next to him: "That's right, my mother passed away two days ago. ”
"It's just that it's inconvenient to spread the word, so I haven't told your company!"
