In the luxuriously decorated room, the original bed was put away and replaced by two benches obtained from nowhere.
Luo Ziqing's aunt was sitting on the bench, staring expressionlessly at the dozen or so detectives standing in front of her with knives in hand.
The door opened, and an agent carried a table, struggled to squeeze through the narrow door, and placed it between the old witch and another bench.
"What are you doing with this?" asked one of the detectives.
"Hehe-hehe, who knows, it's all 'him' who ordered it."
"Let us wait here, where are the 'other' people?"
"Still searching the first floor, it will be up in a while."
While he was talking, the door was kicked open with a bang, and a little man in a police officer's uniform walked in and sat opposite the old witch.
When the police officers saw this person, they immediately fell silent and resumed their guarding posture.
"He" put his arms on the table and clasped his hands, just covering his face. A golden token hung from his hand.
"Zhao Xuan, the gold medal catcher of the Criminal Department, would like to ask you a few words."
The old witch obviously did not accept this trick. She snorted coldly.
"Why are you laughing?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the officials from the Ministry of Punishment visit the store every three days, which is really brilliant."
"Don't open and shut up, sir, sir, see clearly, I'm not that rough!"
Zhao Xuan opened her hands, revealing a slightly childish face of a girl.
"Yes, the convict made a mistake."
Zhao Xuan raised her elbows again. Since she was not tall, this action made her upper body lean forward awkwardly, causing the agents standing on the side to try their best to suppress laughter.
"Hey, you just said that people from the Ministry of Punishment come here every day. What do you mean?"
The old witch shrugged and said, "It's official business, so I don't dare to ask any more questions."
Zhao Xuan was defeated by her and slowly turned to the few police officers standing against the wall.
These are all people from the Jiangdu government office, who are ordered to cooperate with the gold medal police officers in investigating the case. They usually rely on their status and do not behave very well.
At this time, they were stared at by Zhao Xuan, and they felt a murderous aura directed at their throats, and all the bad things they had done in the past came to mind.
"What's going on?"
"No, no, no... I don't know, it's not us!"
Seeing the way these people begged grandpa to report grandma and the murderous intent released by Zhao Xuan, the old witch was shocked. This little girl and "Yu Changren" were not together! She didn't know that Yu Changren came to Yichunyuan to investigate the disappearance of Xu Baocai!<
/p>
No wonder Yu Changren was neither wearing official uniform nor bringing anyone with him yesterday. It turned out that he was not ordered to handle the case, but was conducting a private investigation!
The catching profession is a mixed bag, ranging from local gangsters - such as the few next to them, to peerless masters - such as the person across the table. Although a master like Yu Changren, who is well-known in the world, eats public food, he has nothing to do with the public.
There are connections among all three religions and nine schools, and the possibility of being hired privately or having friendship with Xu Baocai is not small.
"That's why he let us go so easily. It turns out that the job he took was a private job... No, if Zhao Xuan notices it, it will be in trouble!"
Thinking of this, the old witch said: "As for food and sex, the government servant is a frequent visitor to our place. He often comes here to play. It's not really business."
Zhao Xuan slowly turned back and asked: "Are they giving money?"
"Well, most of them are given."
Zhao Xuan nodded, restrained his murderous intent, and said slowly: "You are not my people. Normally, I can't care about you after work. But if anyone dares to bully men and women, bully the market, let me know, I will not only
Peel off his skin and take his life!"
All the detectives were sweating.
"Huh, let's continue..."
"Master Zhao!"
The door was suddenly opened, and a police officer rushed in and whispered something in Zhao Xuan's ear.
"Tsk, sure enough."
Zhao Xuan waved her hand to ask the man to step back. Her eyes were even colder than before.
"Guess what we found in your backyard?"
After hearing this, the old witch opened her eyes wide.
……
"Are you Luo Ziqing?"
In another room, the same table lies between Zhao Xuan and Yichun Yuan’s top card.
"Yes."
Zhao Xuan looked at her and couldn't help but admire her beauty, but her expression was still as cold as ice.
"Bashu people?"
"Yes."
"How long have you been working here?"
"Two months."
"Well, there was a riot in Yichun Garden last night. What happened? Don't try to fool me. If you confess, you will be lenient, but if you resist, you will be stern!"
Luo Ziqing kept in mind Zhou Shi's teaching of "say what you have to say" and said:
"Last night, a guest asked to see me..."
"What's it called? What does it look like?"
"His name is Yu Changren. He is very tall and strong..."
Zhao Xuan leaned back, and her expression changed subtly.
"Yu Changren? Are you sure? What does he do?"
Luo Ziqing thought that Zhao Xuan was suspicious, so he quickly emphasized his tone and said: "Absolutely! That's what he told me. He seems to be from the government..."
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but stretched out her hand to wipe it on her mouth and asked:
"He... clicked on you?"
"Yes."
"You...received him?"
"Uh, no, it was my aunt who received him."
There is also an aunt! Zhao Xuan couldn't help but think about it. Luo Ziqing looked only about twenty years old, so her aunt should be in her forties...
Judging from Luo Ziqing's appearance, her aunt is also a beauty, and she is still charming even though she is an old lady...
"Ahem, what next?"
"Then, uh, there was a fight on the fourth floor. The fight was very fierce and almost killed someone. But we were soon kicked out."
Zhao Xuan nodded. She never expected that there would be an unexpected gain in this investigation...
"Okay, let's stop talking about what happened last night. I didn't come here for that."
Zhao Xuan quickly regained her composure and her tone returned to freezing point.
"What do you know about the forty-six corpses in the backyard of Yichun Garden?"
……
Jiangdu, where the three rivers meet, is the busiest port on the river except Juanzhou.
It was exactly noon when Zhou Shi arrived, which was also the busiest time of the day at the pier. Boatmen, vendors, footmen, and clerks passed by him, selling their own goods or strength, and cursing other people's goods or strength. It was very lively. p>
"C character is coming!"
There was a shout from somewhere, and coolies in short coats or shirtless people immediately rushed to the berth, scrambling for the goods shipped off the ship, yelling and bargaining.
After walking for a while, a row of sailboats of different sizes came into view, which were berths for merchant ships.
"Xu Baocai said that his ship is at berth No. 3..."
Zhou Shi discovered that from Type C to Type A, the berthed ships were getting bigger and newer, and their shapes were gradually becoming more uniform, while Type A was almost the same ship, obviously a customized fleet.
"It seems that only the largest ship can berth..."
The area around the A-shaped berth was obviously deserted. There were only a few boatmen sitting on the boat, staring condescendingly at the uninvited guest.
Zhou Shi stood still, thinking that Xu Baocai's boats should be surrounded by them, so he simply shouted:
"Is there anyone in charge?"
A handsome young man walked out of the cabin of a merchant ship. He was wearing a small coat, revealing two muscular arms. Every inch of his exposed skin was brown, and he was obviously a man who had been running boats on the river all year round.
"What do you do?"
"I have news about your boss."
The young man frowned, ordered something to the people around him, and then shouted to him:
