The merchant in Luowo said, "That afternoon, we had just arrived in Tongzhou. The weather was pretty good. Two merchants from Tongzhou invited us to have a picnic with them, and went to a wood outside the city to eat bonfire and barbecue and drink. He also found many women to accompany him, but it didn't look like women from brothels. Because the merchant friends of the Tang Dynasty said that these women were his friends, not casual women, so we were polite to them and not to do anything randomly. However, after drinking later, these women pestered us to make fun of them. I was drunk, so I joked with them..."

Lu Jinping interjected and asked, "Is that woman among them?"

"No, that woman is not here, I met on the way back later." "You just talk about the situation when you met that woman, don't say more about how you joked about it."

After listening to Yunzi's translation, the Tubo merchant nodded and agreed, and then said, "We ate and drank until the third evening, and we returned. After we got home in the city, they all went back to the house to sleep. I didn't want to sleep because after drinking, they all had wives hugged them to sleep. I was a bachelor and wanted to find a woman in the brothel, so I went out alone and walked along the street."

"On the way, I saw someone staggering over in alcohol and hit me on purpose. I was a little angry, so I stopped him and asked him why he hit me? Maybe he didn't understand what I said, and he just laughed. When I heard the laughter, I realized that she was a woman, and she was very young, so I let her go. But she ran to the alley next to her and vomited wildly. I thought it was pitiful that a woman was drunk outside, so I went up and asked her if it was important, and then smashed the door of a snack shop next to her and asked her to rinse her mouth. She said thank you. She walked shakingly, so I went to help her and said if I wanted me to take her back? But she hugged me and touched me up and down. I was about to find a woman, so of course I was not polite, so I hugged her and touched her."

When the merchant said this, Yunzi shouted and interrupted him. Lu Jinping asked Yunzi what he said. Yunzi stammered and refused to translate. Lu Jinping asked her to translate the original words to herself and not change the deleted content. So Yunzi stammered and translated the merchant's words with a blushing face.

Lu Jinping couldn't help but smile and said, "If it's really what he said, you're in love with me, then that's nothing. There are still some women in the Tang Dynasty who are quite open."

After listening to Lu Jinping's words translated by Yunzi, the merchant felt a close friend, and hurriedly laughed and said yes, and then swears that the woman was absolutely voluntary and he absolutely did not force her. Then he continued, and the two hugged each other and went to a hidden place behind the corner of the house to get together. After that, the woman wore her dress and swayed and left by herself, ignoring the Tubo merchants at all, as if nothing had happened.

The merchant went home and felt hungry when he got home. He wanted to cut mutton and then found that the knife on his waist was gone. He immediately went back to the alley where they were doing business. He couldn't find it. So he suspected that the woman had taken it away, and he didn't know who the woman was and where it came from. However, he didn't ask him for money, and even if he took the knife away, it was nothing, so he gave up.

"What does that woman look like?"

"I'm very young, but I'm wearing thick makeup. My body is very tight and I'm pretty."

"Can she hear the accent?"

"She didn't say anything. She just giggled. She never said a word. So she couldn't hear where she was."

"Can you remember the appearance of that person? I asked the painter from the yamen to draw it."

The businessman scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I drank a lot that day. When I met her, I was almost drunk. I couldn't see clearly what a person looked like. I only had a rough impression. I just thought she was very beautiful. I really couldn't remember what she looked like. Anyway, beautiful women were like that."

Lu Jinping repeatedly asked him about the woman's height, fat and thinness. The Luowo businessman said that she was a little shorter than herself, with a good figure, neither fat nor thin, and was very tight, but her appearance was not good. On the one hand, he was drunk, and on the other hand, the light was dark at night and it was hard to see clearly.

Then, Lu Jinping investigated the activities of these people on the day of the forest fire. He used separate inquiries to investigate, called the others out, waited for his own summons, and then asked them separately.

The Luowo merchant said that they had been resting in the house with the Luowo people who lived with him that day and had not gone anywhere. When the fire broke out, they were still watching the fire in the yard together, and watched it for the middle of the night.

The statement of Luowo people has been confirmed by several other people.

Lu Jinping asked him again where they were before. These people all spoke where they were, and they all acted together and did not leave alone because they didn’t know how to speak Chinese. They could only rely on the help of local merchants in Tongzhou.

Lu Jinping did not further verify their statements. He believed that what they said was true, because he accidentally discovered this clue and immediately followed Yunzi to investigate. It was impossible for the other party to conduct a collusion in advance, so their testimony was credible.

But if their testimony is credible, it will basically rule out that the Luowo businessman who lost the serrated dagger is a murderer. At the same time, it will confirm from another aspect that the businessman said that the loss of the dagger is true. It is very likely that his dagger was acquired by the murderer and committed this murder case.

After the inquiry, Lu Jinping took the businessman back to the yamen. He wanted to organize the physical identification. After all, there was still a little difference between the portrait and the real dagger.

He took out the serrated dagger from the physical evidence warehouse and gave it to the merchant in Luowo, Tubo to identify it.

After seeing this, the merchant of Luowo said, "The length, blade width and style of this dagger are indeed the same as my one, but after it is burned, I dare not completely determine that it is the dagger I lost. Moreover, the rope wrapped in the shank of this dagger is different from mine. Mine is much thicker, but the rope wrapped in the shank of this knife is very thin."

Although the handle of this knife has been completely destroyed by high temperature, it is wrapped in soil and is well preserved like a fossil, so the thickness of the rope can be distinguished.

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "It may be that someone has replaced the rope that wraps the handle of the knife."

After initially concluding that the lost dagger by the Luowo merchant was the one at the scene of the murder. Lu Jinping asked the yamen painter to talk to the Luowo merchant for a long time and tried to draw the woman.

When the portrait was finally delivered to Lu Jinping, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The portrait had no characteristics. It was just a standard picture of a lady. It seemed that the businessman had a good impression of this woman and only remembered her beauty, but he couldn't say how beautiful it was. So the painter in the yamen had to use the image of a beautiful woman in a picture of a lady and painted it. Of course, this was useless.

Lu Jinping asked him to take him to the place where he and the woman had sex.

After arriving there, Lu Jinping found that the ground was covered with snow. Lu Jinping asked Yunzi's warrior to help sweep away the snow and inspect it, but found nothing.

Is the clue broken again?

Lu Jinping was a little depressed. The case was really full of twists and turns. He thought it was already dark and bright. Unexpectedly, he was still at the end of his life and fell into confusion again. This woman quickly disappeared after floating in front of her eyes like a fog, and she could not catch her.

However, Lu Jinping still got an extremely important clue from the words of the Luowo merchant, so he immediately summoned three heads to discuss the case.

Captain Xiong, Captain Jiang and Captain Yao did not know that Lu Jinping had taken a big step forward before. They thought that the case was still trapped in the fog of the previous headless case and did not know what to do. In their opinion, there was no way to start this case where only a few teeth were left. So the three of them were frustrated when they came. However, when they saw Lu Jinping still smiled, they knew that he had a new way of cracking, so they looked at him together and waited for him to give instructions to clear the fog.

Lu Jinping told the origin of the serrated dagger and the visit. Captain Xiong and others were both surprised and happy, but later they heard Lu Jinping say that the beautiful woman had no place to visit, and they couldn't help but become anxious again.

Lu Jinping said: "Because the situation was unclear and involved the Tubo people, I just conducted a preliminary investigation first and heard about these news. The next step is to continue to conduct corresponding investigations. I will make corresponding deployments."

Lu Jinping looked at Captain Xiong: "You are responsible for investigating all the women with watery poplar flowers in Tongzhou City and list them. But be careful. They are not brothel women, of course. They may be secret prostitutes, and this woman is very beautiful."

Captain Xiong and others looked at Lu Jinping blankly, wondering what the purpose of Lu Jinping's arrangement was?

Lu Jinping explained: "According to the statement of the Tubo merchant, the drunk woman he met on the way back, he took the initiative to seduce him and join him in a relationship. The woman did not ask him for money afterwards. Judging from this narrative, this woman is definitely not a brothel woman, otherwise she would have asked for money or negotiated the fees in advance. So, I locked in this woman as a woman with a watery poplar flower, and this kind of woman should be somewhat famous in the city. After all, if the matter of bedside is too casual, it will be easy to spread."

After hearing this, the three of them suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly. The captain bear smiled and said, "A woman with water-like poplar flowers can be as good as her husband. She doesn't do anything to be a good woman. She is very beautiful. Isn't that a fault for her beauty?"

Captain Jiang smiled and said, "Some women are just cheap. If you don't do good women, you have to mess with them, destroy your reputation and do those lustful things, which makes people sigh."

Captain Yao said: "I won't be polite when I meet such a woman. Who doesn't want to be a simple and cheap person? The Tubo merchants are so lucky. Why haven't I encountered such a good thing?"

Lu Jinping sneered: "If you meet someone who is afraid of death, you won't know what's going on! - Do you know that it's amazing if such a woman goes crazy."

Captain Yao shuddered and made a cold war and said, "Yes, the Lord reminded me right. The so-called 'shaming is shameless and can do everything'. She can even do this kind of active hookup with men. So what else can't be done to kill and set fire? When you encounter such a woman, stay away from it, so that you will not be entangled. That's not to be separated."

Lu Jinping said: "Stop talking, you three are working together and start to investigate and find this woman as soon as possible. She is the key to solving the case."

The three captains quickly agreed and said goodbye and left.

However, the investigation is far from as easy as Lu Jinping thought. After all, Tongzhou City has a large population, so it is not easy to select which women are watery and poplar flowers. After all, there is no peach blossom on the forehead of such women. If you have to investigate and identify them one by one, it will not be completed in one or two days.

However, apart from this method, Lu Jinping really couldn't find any other solution to the case. He could only wait for the result.

Every time someone who identified a so-called watery poplar flower, Lu Jinping immediately conducted an investigation. Unfortunately, all of them were ruled out of the possibility of committing the crime.

This day.

Lu Jinping is reviewing the case files in the signing room. In addition to solving cases, he, the judicial officer, also needs to submit him for approval for ordinary criminal and civil cases that require criminal means. Of course, the clerk of the punishment room prepared the opinions before and submitted them to him. He only cares whether he agrees or not, or sends them back to the punishment room for re-examination. Even so, he is still busy.

While he was busy, the gatekeeper of the yamen ran in and laughed and said, "Master, there is a woman outside looking for you. Do you want to meet?"

"Who is it?"

"She didn't say anything, wearing a white dress and covering her face with a white veil. She couldn't see her appearance, she just said she was an old friend of Huashan, and she didn't say anything else."

When Lu Jinping heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately knew that it was Xiaoxiao. He quickly stood up and said, "Hurry, please! Where is the person? Where is the person?"

When the judicial master was so happy, the doorman knew that this person was a person the judicial master valued very much. Fortunately, he saw that the woman was acting extraordinary, so he spoke very politely and invited her to the flower hall to wait. Then he came to report and said with a smile and flattering voice: "Sir, I have invited that girl to the flower hall to serve tea. She is waiting for you in the flower hall."

Lu Jinping stepped out and trotted all the way to the flower hall.

The reason why he was so anxious was of course because he felt that Xiaoxiao must have something to come to him. Maybe he had already remembered her life experience or came to find something he wanted to ask about, which would be related to the mystery of his life experience.

Now I am facing the threat of an enemy who is hidden in the dark from nowhere. I must find out my life experience as soon as possible in order to deal with it in a targeted manner. I cannot help but worry.

When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw Xiaoxiao looking at a painting on the wall with her hands behind her back. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around, smiled at him, and said, "Come uninvited, haven't you disturbed you?"

"How could that happen? Miss Xiaoxiao is my savior, and you can come to me at any time."

"Don't say that. I came to you because you asked me about the knife last time. I went back and thought for a while, and it seemed that I had seen it before. After thinking for a long time, I remember that the knife should come from Tubo. I remember seeing a Tubo people carrying that kind of knife. You'd better check out the Tubo people who live in Tongzhou or the capital. Of course, not all Tubo people have that kind of knife, it seems that only a very small number of Tubo people carry it. But I just saw it this way, and I can't remember it clearly, and I don't know if it is."

Lu Jinping was very moved and said, "Thank you for reminding me that the girl's opinions are very important and are of great help to my case solving. Thank you."

Lu Jinping did not say that he had grasped the news, and he still expressed his gratitude happily.

Xiaoxiao said: "Okay, I've told you about this matter, I'm leaving."

"Where is Miss Xiaoxiao going?"

"I'm thinking about who I am these days. I have come up with a solution. I want to go to those martial arts masters to learn from them. They may be able to see my origin from my martial arts, so that I can know who I am."

When Lu Jinping heard her words, he couldn't help but feel moved and said, "By the way, Miss Xiaoxiao is so skilled in martial arts. I have an errand. I want to ask you for help, but I don't know if you can do it."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"That's right. I have a case where a guilty evidence is a human teeth. I want to drill the teeth and extract the things inside for inspection. However, I can't do it even if I try my best, because the drill bit is not hard enough, and the human teeth are too hard."

Xiaoxiao said, "Try bringing your teeth to me."

"Okay! Wait, I'll send someone to get it right away." After that, he ordered someone to go to the physical evidence warehouse to bring the entire cheek bones of the deceased.

The thing was quickly taken. Lu Jinping had already taken off one of the teeth to drill the teeth, so he handed the tooth to Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao didn't answer and said, "Put it on the table."

Lu Jinping quickly placed the tooth on the desk next to him.

A white light flashed, and Xiaoxiao had already added a soft and cold Burmese iron sword in her hand. It shook in the wind and immediately straightened, shining with a striking cold light. A afterimage was drawn in the air, and a light sound was heard. The tooth on the table had been split into two by the long sword in Xiaoxiao's hand. The table under the teeth had no scratches.

This kind of skill control has reached its peak, which has stunned Lu Jinping.

Xiaoxiao said: "My sword is a sword that is as sharp as iron. It is difficult for me to take action. Today I actually used it to help you split the dead people's teeth. It's really a waste of resources."

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "Good steel is used on the blade. Isn't your sword used to help me solve the case?"

"As it said, is there anything else? If not, I'll leave."

"Wait!" Lu Jinping stepped forward to check the teeth that were split in half, and couldn't help but feel very disappointed. Because the pulp inside the teeth was obviously burned and charred by high temperature. It was basically impossible for such teeth to extract DNA substances.

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Let me split another tooth, this one is useless."

Xiaoxiao nodded and said nothing.

Lu Jinping then pried apart another tooth and put it on the table. The long sword in Xiaoxiao's hand flashed with a cold light, splitting the tooth.

After checking, Lu Jinping found that it was still undetectable by high temperature carbonization.

More than ten teeth were split in succession, but none of them had the inspection conditions.

Seeing that there were only two left, Lu Jinping was almost disappointed, but he insisted on taking off the two teeth and put them on the table at once. (To be continued)
