Chapter 13, Ghost Soldiers Kill

Bai Qiurui threw out her identity without any psychological burden, and smiled slightly: "My father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and it is normal for the little girl to know about this case." ”

Shen Yuan frowned slightly, as if he felt that this reason was not sufficient, but he couldn't find the key point that was reasonable.

In fact, where did Bai Hong tell Bai Qiurui, it was she who wore the book and took the lead, and she would know only when she recalled the plot in the book. However, she relied on her perfect disguise identity, and her face was not red and her heart was not beating when she lied.

"Two days ago, I received an edict that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple should join forces to thoroughly investigate the case of ghost soldiers' murder."

Shen Yuan opened his mouth lightly, his eyes were empty and looked at the water in the distance, his expression was indifferent and solemn.

Seeing Shen Yuan's heavy expression, Bai Qiurui couldn't help but start thinking about the beginning and end of the ghost soldier's murder case described in the book.

The book recounts that on the night of the Cold Food Festival in the capital, someone once saw a neatly arranged army appear on the empty street. All of them wore masks and armor, and their shoulders wore red robes, holding a long-spear with a cold light.

The next morning, Wei Zhongchen, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was found dead on the long street by the guards. My head was cut off with a knife and I don't know where I was.

The next day, another person spotted the ghost soldier. Immediately afterwards, Shi Yan Mingyu, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was killed when he went home at night after a reunion with his colleagues in the teahouse of the DPRK and China. The same died on the street, and Yan Mingyu's head was missing.

When such an incident happened, the forbidden army in Kyoto suddenly doubled, and they were heavily defended everywhere.

"Two court officials died one after another, and the people behind the scenes were cruel. After the killing, it was still insufficient, and even the head of the neck had to be cut off and taken away. ”

Shen Yuan briefly described the general situation of the 'ghost soldier murder' case, and the content happened to be exactly the same as the plot recalled in Bai Qiurui's mind.

"Didn't anyone see the ghost soldiers?"

Gu Yi on the side was quite curious about the content of the conversation between the two, and opened his mouth with an inquiring look on his face at this moment.

Shen Yuan shook his head: "The reason why ghost soldiers are called ghost soldiers is that they have no body. You can see it, but you can't touch it. ”

"There is a shopkeeper of a pharmacy in the Criminal Department, and on the way back from going out for a consultation at night, he saw the ghost soldier borrowing the way. According to his account, there was a layer of red light scattered around those ghost soldiers, and there was a strong smell of blood. ”

Bai Qiurui knew that what Shen Yuan said was the truth, and she tried hard to recall the murderer behind this case. If you know it as soon as possible, you can solve the case as soon as possible. She also wants to use this case to provide her father with ideas to solve the case, so that her father can pay more attention to herself.

After a while, Bai Qiurui suddenly thought of the real murderer in this case.

After learning the identity of the other party, Bai Qiurui couldn't believe it, and subconsciously blurted out: "This is impossible!" ”

In the original book, the murderer of this ghost soldier murder case is none other than him. It is also an important minister who also has a pivotal position in the government and the opposition - Meng Beihe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!

Shen Yuan looked at Bai Qiurui with an incredulous expression, his dark eyes with a hint of inquiry.

Somehow, he always felt as if the little woman knew something: "What can't be? What did the White Maiden think? ”

Shen Yuan's cold voice brought Bai Qiurui, who was surprised, back to her senses, she was so hesitant that she couldn't find anything to hide for a while. It took half a beat to grasp the word 'ghost soldier' to excuse himself.

said seriously that he thought that there were no ghosts in this world, maybe someone was pretending to be a ghost. Therefore, she felt that the situation that the pharmacy shopkeeper said was unlikely to happen, maybe he was too nervous to be dazzled.

Bai Qiurui said in the end, even she almost believed this statement.

Shen Yuan was silent and did not answer her words. Years of experience in handling cases told him that Bai Qiurui must have something to hide.

But after thinking about it, even he had just received the order of the Holy Governor to investigate the case. She is just a second lady in the Shaoqing Mansion of Dali Temple, raised in the deep boudoir, how can she know more than herself.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Yuan reluctantly convinced himself.

The calm surface of the Qianbo Lake was rippling, and Bai Qiurui saw that she was about to land, and immediately asked the question that lingered in her heart.

"Lord Shen, may I ask the Ministry of Rites in the court, what is the temperament of Lord Meng Shangshu?"

She asked abruptly, and Shen Yuan looked quite strange when he heard it, and he didn't understand why she asked this question in a dignified manner.

Bai Qiurui withstood the pressure of Shen Yuan's gaze, and she was also bitter in her heart.

She actually didn't want to ask Shen Yuan so embarrassed, but she recalled the plot points in the original book and found that although there was a heavy description of this case in the book, the specific situation in the middle was not written in detail.

The original character in the book, as an unfavored concubine, couldn't hear anything about the case at all.

Moreover, it seems that this case is so important and widely implicated. His father, Bai Hong, did not reveal it to others in the house, but just locked himself in the study every day, looking sad.

Therefore, the current Bai Qiurui only knew that the murderer was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, but she couldn't figure out what the ghost soldier had to do with him, and why the other party did this.

Quietly glancing at Shen Yuan, the other party really asked her why she wanted to inquire about these things.

Bai Qiurui reluctantly made a temperament: "It was I who asked Lord Shen a question first, Lord Shen answered the little woman first, and then the little girl explained the reason to the adult." ”

Shen Yuan: "......"

The first time I encountered this kind of rough trick like a child's house, the little woman in front of her was wearing a blue embroidered thread skirt, her long hair was combed into a simple but very good-looking bun, and a begonia flower on her head swayed slightly with the hull of the boat.

Her little white face was a little nervous, as if she was a little afraid that she would be angry. The eyes that were as clear as water looked left and right uneasily, pursed their rosy and beautiful lips, and twisted the handkerchief in their hands with their slender fingers.

Such a nervous and cramped appearance fell in Shen Yuan's eyes, and he somehow paused slightly, and then simply talked about Meng Beihe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

These are not secret things, the ghost soldier killing people is still in the news that the market is still blocked, this girl already knows the rumors, and dares to ask herself directly. What's more, she is just asking some ordinary things now, that is, it doesn't hurt to listen to her.

Bai Qiurui listened carefully to Shen Yuan talking about the Ministry of Rites, and the more she listened, the more wrong she became.

single-handedly planned the murder of ghost soldiers, and the killings were all court officials. Shen Yuan said that this Master Meng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has always been humble and honest on weekdays.

is not only strict with himself, but also has a good way to be a royal and dedicated......

Is this what a murderer behind the murder of an official of the court should look like?

However, then Bai Qiurui was also a little dignified in her heart. If a murderer is even so well disguised in his usual life, and good others feel that he is impeccable, then it is really terrible.

Bai Qiurui, who was concentrating on it, didn't notice Gu Yi's expression on the side, his eyes scanned back and forth between Shen Yuan and her with interest, as if he had found something interesting.

Growing up with Shen Yuan since childhood, Gu Yi has never seen him have such a good attitude towards a girl from any family.

is usually as cold as the previous Miss Su, but today's appearance of Bai Qiurui has invisibly opened the door to a new world for Gu Yi.

Several people thought about their own thoughts until the ship came to shore. The bow of the boat hit the shore and shook slightly, and Bai Qiurui suddenly woke up and put away her thoughts.

On the shore, Bai Qiurui found out out from the corner of her eyes that the coachman in the house had arrived in a carriage. Seeing that she was about to rush here, she thought about it again and again and left a word for Shen Yuan, and then Fu Shen quickly saluted and walked towards the carriage with Lan'er.

"This girl is kind of interesting, hey, what did she say to you in the end?"

Gu Yi looked at the fast-moving carriage and touched Shen Yuan, who was contemplating and contemplating, with his arm. He was the last to get off the boat, but he saw Bai Qiurui as if he had said something to Shen Yuan, and then walked away quickly.

At this moment, he rushed to Shen Yuan's side, but the other party had a thoughtful look, which made him extremely curious.

"Nothing ......"

Shen Yuan watched the carriage gradually disappear from view, and turned to move in the other direction.

Gu Yi was willing to let him go, and followed in three or two steps: "If you still want to lie and lie to me, let's play together until we get older, and I can see it as soon as you lie." ”

As he spoke, a light smile appeared on Junyi's face, and he leaned over to Shen Yuan and laughed, "Honestly, do you like that girl?" ”

Before the words fell, an eye knife shot at him, Gu Yi hurriedly pretended to be afraid and took two steps back, never daring to provoke this cold-faced Buddha again.

Bai Qiurui didn't know that after she left, Gu Yi chatted with Shen Yuan about her own affairs, and as soon as she returned to the backyard of the house, she saw that all the people were in a hurry, and you were so busy coming and going.

She didn't need to ask to know that she was going out to swim in the lake, and the three sons and two girls fell into the water one after another. Now that I'm coming back in a hurry, I'm sure I'll have to change my clothes, ask a doctor or something.

I happened to see the housekeeper Uncle Li coming in a hurry, followed by a doctor with a gray beard and a medicine box on his back. Bai Qiurui only found out when she asked, saying that the two girls, Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu, were weak and suddenly fell into the lake, and now they have a fever and are talking nonsense.

Bai Qiurui's face was silent, with a look of surprise and worry, and hurriedly urged the housekeeper to quickly lead the doctor over to have a look, but in her heart she secretly said that the two of them were to blame.

The original body of this body was precisely because Bai Yueyue pushed her into the pool, and finally drowned. One report and one report, today's incident should be regarded as an outlet for the original body.

If it weren't for the fact that he overheard Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu's words, he might be lying on the bed now.

This is because they steal chickens and can't help but lose rice, and they can't complain about others.

Besides, she had "kindly" persuaded them to slip carefully......

In this chaotic scene at the moment, Bai Qiurui naturally wanted to visit the specific situation.

She took Lan'er to Li's "Meixiang Courtyard" first, and the girls in the courtyard were busy going in and out, and no one cared about her.

Bai Qiurui walked straight into the inner room, bypassed a mahogany screen with fish playing lotus leaves, and found that there were many people standing next to the bed inside.
