Chapter 10(1/2)
"It's a fake corpse!"
Li Qingniu was so frightened that his face turned livid, and he fainted with foam at the mouth. Niu Dafu's legs trembled, and he sat on the ground with a thump, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
Fan Xiaodao never believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. He unsheathed his sword, pushed open the door, and looked at "Sun Mengwu": "When was your head reattached? I think it would be more beautiful if we separated it."
"
Sun Mengwu saw that he was not frightened. The figure shook and the cold light flashed. As fast as a ghost, he stabbed Fan Xiaodao with his sword. Fan Xiaodao was already prepared. He swung his sword and used a diamond punch with his left hand.
, and blasted towards Sun Mengwu’s chest.
boom!
It seemed like it hit an iron plate.
Sun Mengwu giggled, raised her hand, and a burst of fragrance hit her nostrils.
It has a really light orchid smell.
It was exactly the same as the smell I smelled in Huang Youcai's house tonight.
The scent is poisonous!
Fan Xiaodao felt a little dizzy and quickly held his breath. The woman took the opportunity to flash past, with a few ups and downs, and disappeared into the night. The orchid fragrance was just an ordinary intoxicating drug, not very toxic. Fan Xiaodao used a little luck to push out the poison with his internal power.
After leaving, he came to Li Qingniu and Niu Dafu.
Li Qingniu got up and asked, "Is that female ghost gone?"
Fan Xiaodao said angrily: "I dare you to pretend to be dead."
Li Qingniu said: "I heard that ghosts don't eat unconscious people. Besides, the female ghost is so beautiful and the young master is not married yet. Don't I give you some chance to be alone together?"
Niu Dafu also calmed down and said, "Isn't that a female ghost?"
Fan Xiaodao shook his head, "That person is not Sun Mengwu, but she looks a bit similar. She deliberately wore the same clothes as Sun Mengwu, just pretending to be a ghost."
The three of them came to the pallet where Sun Mengwu's body was parked. Seeing the scene, they couldn't help but turn away. Sun Mengwu's body had been destroyed and her lower abdomen had been cut open. Niu Dafu couldn't help but vomited, and Li Qingniu asked
, "How do you explain this to Capt. Zhao?"
Fan Xiaodao smiled and pointed to the bed, "Would you like to take another look?"
Li Qingniu opened the white cloth on his head and said in shock: "This is not Sun Mengwu!"
Fan Xiaodao explained: "Today Baihualou is so anxious to snatch the corpse, Zhao Xing and I guessed that there must be some ulterior secret in the corpse, and we will definitely snatch the corpse in Yizhuang. That's why Zhao Xing
He insisted on not returning the corpse, so after placing it, Zhao Xing and I used another corpse in the village to swap the corpse with Sun Mengwu's. As expected, we guessed right, he should be coming soon."
After a while, Zhao Xing finished interrogating the young man named Lan and returned to Yizhuang. After learning what happened in Yizhuang, Zhao Xing said: "Brother Fan really figured it out. After daybreak, I applied to the chief catcher to let him come."
Re-autopsy to see what secrets are in her body."
"How was the trial over there?"
Zhao Xingdao: "The young man surnamed Lan is the son of a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan. He has a secret love for Sun Mengwu. He has spent tens of thousands of taels of silver in Baihua Building in the past few months. After all the money was spent, he was rejected by Baihua Building. Today
Received a letter from Sun Mengwu, asking him to wait for her tonight under the Chengdong Archway not far from the Huang Mansion. He wanted to elope with him. Unexpectedly, while waiting, the officers and soldiers on night patrol came, and he was arrested.
Come in."
Niu Dafu was unconvinced and said: "It's just a one-sided statement. It's possible that he made it up deliberately after killing someone."
Zhao Xing glanced at him and said, "I have been investigating cases for so many years, and I can still tell the truth from lies."
Fan Xiaodao didn't bother and asked, "The murderer is still being traced?"
Zhao Xing sighed, "This is the tricky part of the case. Sun Mengwu has too much influence in the capital. In a few days, rumors will spread in the city. The meaning above is that regardless of whether he is the real culprit or not, Xiang Rang, whose surname is Lan,
I will fight the case and give an explanation to the world."
After hearing this, Fan Xiaodao felt a little angry.
He questioned: "Isn't that a waste of human life? As a police officer, how can you just watch this happen?"
Zhao Xingdao: "This case is no longer under my control now, it has been handed over to Ding Yi."
Fan Xiaodao heard Ding Yi for the second time and asked, "What's the difference?"
Zhao Xingdao: "He is the third in charge of the family. He does have a good way of handling cases, but he is also smooth and understands the ways of the world. Therefore, he was the fastest among us to be promoted to the purple-robed head catcher in the same period. According to the meaning above, it is very likely that he will be the head catcher."
Major issues to minor ones out."
Li Qingniu said: "You officials are worse than bandits."
"Then Mr. Lan is so innocent and unjustly accused?"
Zhao Xingdao: "In three days, this case will be submitted to Shuntian Mansion for trial. We still have three days. However, I have been banned from investigating the case. There are some things that I need your help with. I wonder if you are willing?"
Although Fan Xiaodao grew up in Shanzhai, he has had a chivalrous heart since he was a child. Song Jinjiang had previously told the story of the investigation that year. Although he came to the capital to investigate his life experience, when he encountered such a thing, he couldn't help but get excited.
So he agreed, "What do you want me to do?"
Zhao Xingdao: "I have been investigating cases for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen someone like Sun Mengwu beheaded without blood. To find out the cause of her death, I want you to go to a place and see a person.
Man. This man is knowledgeable and very capable, but he has a weird temper and is moody. If you can get his guidance, you will definitely be able to find out the clues."
Fan Xiaodao said: "No problem. Where to go?"
"Six-door prison!" Zhao Xingdao said, "He once committed extremely serious crimes, but for some reason, Your Majesty refused to kill him. He is now imprisoned in the six-door prison. However, he is very good at martial arts and kills people like hemp.
In the past few months, three food delivery boys have been killed."
Fan Xiaodao suddenly thought of what he saw when he went to Liumen to apply for a handyman job during the day, and couldn't help but take a breath. He glanced at Li Qingniu, and Li Qingniu said: "Sir, your martial arts skills are better than mine, and your brain is better than mine."
, this kind of thing belongs to you."
Fan Xiaodao said angrily: "I don't know, you thought I was your personal servant."
Li Qingniu said: "You can't say that. Don't you often say that everyone is born equal, with only different professions and no distinction between high and low? I think that with the temperament of the young master, he is more qualified for this task."
Niu Dafu looked at the two of them. They looked like masters and servants, but also brothers. He couldn't tell what the relationship between them was.
Fan Xiaodao said: "I know, Mr. Li!"
…
Fan Xiaodao came to the capital with the idea of a quick victory, but after a few days, even entering the six doors was a problem, let alone the secret passage. Now, he could only think long term, first find a way to sneak into the six doors, and then wait for the opportunity to act.
Now that you have the opportunity to go in, you should take advantage of it.
Helping Zhao Xing investigate the case was just a temporary passion.
As for whether he could be a detective, he didn't care at all. It would be better to be a handyman, who could enter and exit the six doors openly, so as to facilitate the next move. The three of them had a good time, Niu Dafu went home first, Fan Xiaodao and Li Qingniu
Anyway, I have nowhere to go, so I will spend the night here.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Li Qingniu was asked to stay in Yizhuang, and he went to Liumen to meet Zhao Xing.
The guard soldier surnamed Song recognized him and no longer looked as fierce as yesterday. He smiled and said: "It turns out that my brother knows Capt. Zhao. If you had told him earlier, you wouldn't have to go to all the trouble. Come in and drink quickly."
A cup of hot tea, we can be considered colleagues from now on. My surname is Song, my name is Song Fei, please stay close to me from now on."
It seems that Zhao Xing has already greeted the concierge.
Fan Xiaodao was dealing with him and asked curiously: "Does Zhao Xing have a high status in Liumen?"
The soldier surnamed Song said: "He's just a man in red clothes catching the head."
Fan Xiaodao asked again, "Then you are still so polite to him?"
Song Fei smiled and said, "Brother, I'm afraid we've just met Zhao Captou not long ago, right? Although Zhao Captou has a low rank, he is very famous in the capital. Even His Majesty knows this person. What's more, his old man is the current leader.
Master of the Ministry of Rites!"
"ah?"
Fan Xiaodao's eyes widened.
Song Fei said: "You didn't expect it, right?"
The son of the dignified Minister of Rites, who was also considered a top figure in the capital, left the good dandy to work, and instead went to Liumen and became a small policeman, dealing with the most vicious criminals all day long.
It’s incredible even when I think about it.
"However, he doesn't want outsiders to mention this identity. Brothers should be careful when interacting with him."
Fan Xiaodao smiled and nodded, taking out the few dozen copper coins from his arms, "Brother Song, I don't have any gifts for our first meeting. Please take care of me from now on." He thought about it. He would have to enter six doors in the future. These concierges and scribes must be
Build good relationships and make plans for the future.
Unexpectedly, Seinfeld refused to collect it.
Fan Xiaodao asked why, and Song Fei smiled and said, "Our Six Gates is also a government office after all. How can we collect money from our own people? You are new here. There are many connections here. I have been working as a concierge for more than 20 years. What?"
I have never seen strong winds and waves. When you come in, please treat me to a drink and I will tell you in detail."
Fan Xiaodao agreed and followed Song Fei to Zhao Xing's prison room.
It has six doors, green tiles and black walls. It is square and looks very majestic. It belongs to the Ministry of Punishment and consists of more than ten departments including the Anti-Theft Department, the Prison Collection Department, the Autumn Trial Department, the Reduction Department, the Stolen Punishment Department, and the Atonement Department.
Department, and later the Jianghu New Deal, the newly established Jianghu Department was responsible for managing all the Jianghu sects in the world.
