Volume 1: Linzhou Talented Case Chapter 13: Linfang Mansion
"Bang!" Duan Ming tilted his head, the long knife grazed his cheek and pierced the wall next to him.
Duan Ming's legs softened, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he slowly sat on the ground.
He was almost, just almost, about to be pierced through the head with this long knife!
"Mr. Duan!" 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 okay." Duan Ming tried to stand up while holding on to the wall, but his feet slipped and he sat down again.
"Sir!" At the same time, the patrolling soldiers rushed over. Seeing the situation here, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Take him back and I will interrogate him personally!" Xing Qianqiu said solemnly.
"Yes." Several soldiers clasped their fists.
However, at this moment, the man in black suddenly stood up, reached out and grabbed the sword of the nearest soldier, and slashed his neck with his backhand.
"Damn it!" Xing Qianqiu wanted to stop him but it was too late. He didn't expect this man to be so straightforward.
"It's okay." Duan Ming walked over with trembling legs and put a hand on Xing Qianqiu's shoulder: "He has said everything he can say."
"You mean..." Xing Qianqiu recalled Duan Ming's words just now: "I understand."
"Well. You go back and take care of it." Duan Ming said solemnly: "I'll go back and have a rest. Tomorrow you accompany me to the homes of the four talented people."
"Okay." Xing Qianqiu nodded and hurried back towards the Mirror Division.
These people commit suicide if they disagree with each other. Xing Qianqiu must subdue that person before he reacts!
"Sigh." Duan Ming looked at the soldiers on both sides and said with a bitter look on his face: "My dear officers, please give me a hand. My legs are weak and I can't walk."
Early the next morning, as soon as Duan Ming got up, he saw Xing Qianqiu waiting outside the door.
"You haven't slept all night again?" Duan Ming sighed: "This will make your body unable to hold on."
"That person didn't say anything." Xing Qianqiu said with a frosty face: "But it's okay, he will always say it."
"Okay, okay, you can survive it, you are an eagle!" Duan Ming gave Xing Qianqiu a thumbs up: "Then let's go, let's go to the four families."
Then Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu walked towards Fang's house.
"You mean Mrs. Fang passed away?" On the way, Xing Qianqiu frowned after listening to Duan Ming's words: "Why didn't we get any news?"
"To be honest, the intelligence collection work of your Mirror Department is simply weak." Duan Ming curled his lips: "But this is probably also because the Fang family tried every means to conceal it."
"But why did they hide it?" Xing Qianqiu thought deeply: "The thieves broke in and Mrs. Fang died. No matter what, it should not be hidden."
"Then there's something wrong with it." Duan Ming said, "Just like that talented man Fang Wei, there must be something fishy in it."
"Yeah." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "But are we two going? Do I need to mobilize a team of Mingjing people to conduct a search?"
"You, you." Duan Ming shook his head: "They didn't report the case, so why are you investigating? The Fang family is also a well-known figure in the capital. If you go in and search at will, it won't be easy for you if they report it to the emperor."
"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "What should we do?"
"I accidentally heard that Mrs. Fang passed away. As the deputy commander of the Mirror Division, isn't it normal for you to go and express condolences?" Duan Ming shook his head: "The cause of death was mentioned during the conversation, and I learned that a thief had entered the house.
, wouldn’t it be reasonable for you to enthusiastically help with the investigation?”
"Enthusiasm?" Xing Qianqiu was stunned: "What kind of heat method?"
"... Anyway, just don't do what you did when you invited me." Duan Ming sighed: "By the way, didn't you have some ideas at that time? Why are you so stupid now?"
"Haha." Xing Qianqiu sneered.
Fang Mansion is located in the south of Linyang City, and its gate is located on the edge of Zhuque Street. The gate tower is towering and very spectacular.
"Dong dong dong!" Xing Qianqiu knocked on the door gently, and soon a concierge ran over and opened the door.
The concierge looked at Xing Qianqiu outside the door, and his expression suddenly changed: "Wait a moment, you two. The younger one will go and notify the master right now."
Then the concierge closed the door and ran towards the interior of the mansion.
"Here, you haven't spoken yet, why did he go to notify you?" Duan Ming was stunned and said with some doubts.
"The concierges of wealthy families all have one skill, and that is their photographic memory." Xing Qianqiu explained: "The concierge knows the appearance of almost every powerful person in the city by heart, so as not to offend anyone."
"What's more, when Fang Wei died some time ago, I came here to investigate. Having met him once, the concierge will naturally remember him better."
"Awesome, awesome!" Duan Ming nodded, as expected it was not easy to do anything.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened little by little, and then a middle-aged man walked out quickly.
"Haha, Commander-in-Chief, why didn't you inform me in advance? Has my son's matter been resolved?" The middle-aged man was tall and bearded. He looked more like a martial artist than a scholar.
"Lord Fang."
"Please excuse me for your trouble." The middle-aged man nodded, and then made a gesture of invitation toward the room: "Please speak inside the room."
"Yeah." Xing Qianqiu was not polite and walked into the house with Duan Ming.
"This Lord Fang is Fang Wei's father. He once served as the prince's companion, and later invited him to come back to Linyang City to retire." Xing Qianqiu said in a low voice.
"Oh? You don't have a bright future, and you come back to retire at a young age?" Duan Ming looked at Mr. Fang in front of him with some surprise, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "If something strange happens, there must be a monster."
"Indeed. Even our Mirror Division couldn't find out why he invited himself." Xing Qianqiu nodded.
Soon, several people came to the living room of the Fang family. After sitting down one by one, Mr. Fang ordered his servants to prepare dried fruit tea for Xing Qianqiu and Duan Ming, which was very thoughtful.
"Commander Xing, I haven't asked yet, who is this?" Mr. Fang looked at Duan Ming.
"Oh, this is..." Xing Qianqiu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Duan Ming's hand.
"I'm Xianyun Yehe. Master Fang probably doesn't recognize me if I tell you, so I might as well not tell you." Duan Ming said with a smile.
"So he is a strange person." Mr. Fang smiled and looked at Xing Qianqiu: "There are not many people who dare to interrupt Commander Xing."
"This is just because Mr. Xing doesn't care about me. I'm not a strange person." Duan Ming shook his head.
"Haha, okay." Mr. Fang smiled and looked at Xing Qianqiu again: "I just don't know why Commander Xing came here recently."
"Master Fang, Mr. Xing accidentally heard that Mrs. Fang passed away in your mansion, so I came here to express my condolences." Xing Qianqiu said and looked around: "Just looking at this mansion..."
"As expected of the Mirror Department." Mr. Fang shook the tea cup in his hand lightly, and then placed it on the table next to him: "Yes, my mother passed away two days ago."
"It's just inconvenient to spread outside, so I haven't informed your company!" This chapter has been completed!
