Yang Zhi no longer needs to distinguish between the officials on the street and the officials on the street have never seen them, the people next to the sedan chair have seen them before, and they walked past the old Geng beef shop from behind them; the officials walked up to Yang Zhi with a smile, and after saluting, he introduced himself and said: "The villain is the catcher Yuwen Cliff of Dading Mansion, and he has seen General Yang in the Governor's Mansion, and he wants to get acquainted with General Yang, which is a little presumptuous. ”

Yuwen Ya is of medium stature, not peculiar in appearance, and speaks modestly and calmly; Yang Zhi doesn't believe what Yuwen Ya said, but this is the advantage of having a reasonable identity cover, you can arrogantly send Yuwen Ya away, but you can't ask other questions, Yuwen Ya's identity, even if it is to follow Yang Zhi, there is no problem. But how could Yang Zhi send Yuwenya away, Yang Zhi's curiosity in his heart was telling Yang Zhi that it can't be like this, this person is tracking and approaching him for a purpose, Yang Zhi's martial arts that have detected Yuwenya are not weak, and his on-the-spot reaction is even more sophisticated.

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "There are all brothers in the four seas, if Brother Yuwen is okay, follow me to the inn to sit down." ”

Yuwenya hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Yang, I still have some business to do today, otherwise it will be over in a few days?"

With good intentions, Yang Zhi decided to simply send something more: "I see, I will stay in Zhongjing for one day tomorrow, and I will leave early the day after tomorrow, if Brother Yuwen is busy, when I turn back to Zhongjing, we will contact again, and I will go to Dading Mansion to find you at that time." ”

The two said that they would break up, and Yang Zhi returned to the inn to know that Yuwenya's reputation was not small, the owner of the inn knew it, and Luo Lu also knew it; Yuwenya was one of the two major catchers in Dading Mansion, and the other was Murong Yuan, both of whom were good at solving many cases, and their reputation among the common people was also good. A few people chatted for a while, and when it came to the serial murder case, Mu Gouzi, the inn guy, suddenly came to his senses and introduced the news he had heard.

The eleven deceased, the elderly, the women, the young and the strong, from the street beggar to a commander of the Privy Council, did not seem to have anything to do with each other; But with such a quick response, the government searched the nearby streets and alleys, but still found no clues.

Mu Gouzi said with spit and stars: "Yuwen Ya Yuwen catches the head as big as itself, but he is stunned at the scene again and again. ”

Yang Zhi asked casually: "Yuwenya is responsible for this case?"

"Of course. Murong Yuan was injured last year, and now he goes to work intermittently, and almost all of the cases in our Dading Mansion are in charge of Yuwenya. Mu Gouzi said triumphantly, it is rare for the guy in a small inn to be taken seriously, Yang Zhi nodded and said, "Mu Gouzi, it seems that you are from the yamen." ”

The innkeeper Adal Dai said with a smile: "General Yang, you don't know, the Dading Mansion's Qi Zuo Mang Siye will stay in our inn for a long time, and he can talk to Mu Gouzi, otherwise I will introduce you to you at night?"

Adardai saw that Yang Zhi was interested in inquiring about the case, so he naturally took the initiative to mention it, Yang Zhi bowed his head and said: "That's it, I'll ask Luo Lu to go next door to get a few dishes, and I'll invite Mang Siye to dinner in the evening, and you come over." Anyway, it's all in the store, so it's out of the way. ”

The Khitan surname is complex, mostly ordered by the name of the mountain or river or place of residence, so their traditional surname is "Halle" and "Mokun"; when the eldest son of the Dongdan king Abaoji, Yelubei, defected to the Later Tang Dynasty, that is, he was given the name Li Muhua, and his 500 retinue were also given Han surnames such as Mu, Han, Luo, Yi, Gai, etc., and now the big surnames of the Khitan people are Li, Liu, Yelu, Xiao, Haller, Mokun, A, Mang, and Jiang.

When Yang Zhi heard the name of Mang Siye, he thought it was a Khitan at first, but who knew that when he met at night, he saw a Han man, with a thin figure, a green shirt, a black hat, soap boots, and two scars on his face, giving people a feeling of not liking words. Dealing with dead people all day long, Yang Zhi didn't think it was strange, and politely invited Mang Siye to sit down. Mang Siye didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down: "I've seen General Yang." ”

Yang Zhi waved his hand and said: "This is in the inn, you and I don't need to be polite, drink some wine to warm up." ”

After three rounds of drinking, everyone gradually became acquainted, Yang Zhi took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the serial murder case, and Mang Siye said calmly: "This case can be described as the most bizarre case in recent years. Yuwenya's every arrangement is not wrong, but let the murderer escape again and again, we are really unable to face it, and the calls from all sides to solve the case are very high, by the way, I heard that someone once suggested that General Yang come to Zhongjing to solve this case. ”

Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "It's Master Fu Zun, the head of the household, who was rejected by me, and I still have one day in Zhongjing, so it doesn't help the case at all." ”

Yang Zhi understood Yuwenya's thoughts a little at the moment, even Mang Siye knew about it, how could Yuwenya not know, Yuwenya followed behind him, I am afraid that he just wanted to see what kind of person he was, and whether he would compete with him. Yang Zhi moved out of Fu Zun, not to show off or to pressure people, but to reassure Mang Siye that he was a person who was qualified to know about this matter, and would not hide too many things when describing the case. Yang Zhi remembered the detective novels he had read, and asked the first question: "Are you in the same place the four times you surrounded the scene?"

"It's not. ”

"Is it the same group of officers and soldiers?"

"It's not. ”

There was a commotion outside the door, and Mu Gouzi walked in with Zen Master Omori and a young man, who seemed very easy-going, smiled at everyone, and sat down behind Zen Master Omori. Mang Siye motioned to Yang Zhi to continue, these cases have been going on for several months, and it is a pressure on every case handler, Yang Zhi said that there is a way, Mang Siye is a little anxious to know the answer.

Yang Zhi introduced the situation to Zen Master Omori before asking Mang Siye: "Do you think about it, has anyone appeared on the scene four times?"

"No, no. Mang Siye's face became serious, there was really a person, it was the head catcher Yuwenya, Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Don't rush to conclusions, think about it carefully, was that person called to the scene, or did he appear near the scene?"

Mang Siye looked at each other for a long time, sighed and said: "He was near the scene, and twice he arrived around the same time as the first batch of officials, and once he was the informant. ”

The young man next to Zen Master Omori smiled and said, "It's dark under the lamp." ”

The young man was very familiar with the situation in Dading Mansion, and even understood the facts of the case, figured out the problem, looked relaxed, and looked at Yang Zhi with admiration on his face. Yang Zhi saluted Mang Siye with a glass of wine and asked, "Think about it more, do the other seven cases have similar situations?" ”

Mang Siye nodded and said, "I thought about it just now, the murderer should be Yuwen Ya, but why is he?"
