Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

Fatty and I came to Deng Shaoxing's home. It is said that Mr. Tan lives next door to him, and they both moved here together when they were young. You can imagine how close their relationship is.

Deng Shaoxing's house was in chaos. His wife and children had long since disappeared. A man was counting the valuable things in the house and sealing them up. The servants in the house were dismissed one by one.

When we walked into the house, the man looked us over and said in a deep voice:

"Who are you looking for?"

I cupped my hands and said:

"The official is handling the case. Deng Shaoxing surrendered. Now we are responsible for the case."

man said:

"Now that the murderer has surrendered, there is nothing left to investigate. Just deal with it directly."

"who are you?"

"My name is Tan Qi, and I am a good friend of Deng Shaoxing."

"Since you are his good friend, you must also know that there is another hidden secret in his case. If you are not busy trying to reverse the case for him, it seems that you are helping him deal with his funeral affairs?"

Tan Qi stared at me without any expression on his face:

"If he doesn't die, more people will die for this matter. Only if he dies, it will be over. As his friend, this is the only thing I can do, at least to prevent his wife and children from being killed. By killing, I have fulfilled my duty.”

"Why do you say that? If he is unjustly accused, wouldn't you be more of a friend if you rescue him?"

Tan Qi shook his head and sighed:

"There are too many people involved in this matter, and the background of these is very terrible. I advise you, the young people, to stop taking care of it. You can't take care of it, and it will also lead to death."

"Am I threatening?"

"That's right. How much trouble can you, a little detective, stir up? Besides, what will happen even if you find the real murderer?"

"Don't forget, there is still law in the world. Even if we don't have much ability and power, I believe that justice will definitely defeat evil."

Tan Qi sneered, feeling that the two young men in front of him were too naive and even a little stupid. He stopped talking and turned around to order his men to sort out the account books.

It seems that Tan Qi knows a lot, but there is definitely nothing he can say. How can I make you open your mouth?

Nothing came out of Deng Shaoxing's house, and everyone who knew him didn't know anything about him. We could only go home and discuss what to do next.

When we got home, Hui'er had arranged our meals early and prepared a sumptuous dinner. Lan'er also diligently fetched water for us to wash our faces. Seeing the anticipation on their faces, Fatty and I felt a little ashamed.

Especially Fatty, he felt that he could no longer face Huier. He avoided Huier's fiery gaze and wished he could bury his face in his rice bowl.

"What's wrong with you today? You look listless. Is the case not going well? It doesn't matter. It's been so long and it's very difficult to investigate. Don't be discouraged. Take your time." Hui'er While talking, he put some food for us two.

Liu Qingqing sat aside and said nothing.

"That Deng Shaoxing surrendered."

Lan'er was startled when she heard that, then she stood up, turned around and came down towards the east, bowed and said:

"Dad, Mom, have you heard that the murderer of your two elders has been caught. If you two know about it underground, you should rest in peace." He said silently wiping tears.

Huier walked to her sister, knelt down together, and hugged her. The two sisters cried together.

I really couldn't bear to tell them that there was actually another hidden story in this case, and that Deng Shaoxing might not be the murderer they were looking for.

After dinner, the three of us, Fatty and I, went to Fatty and I's room to discuss the next step.

I say:

"Fat man, this Tan Qi must know a lot of things. There were many people talking in the morning, so we can't ask in detail. I think we still have to find a breakthrough from him."

Fatty said:

"Yes, even if he is not the murderer, he is still an insider. Otherwise, he would not have persuaded Deng Shaoxing to surrender."

Xiao Tianbao said:

"In the past few days when you have been away, I have noticed that there are always a few people of unknown origin hanging around outside our house. I wonder what they want to do?"

When Fatty and I heard this, we broke out in cold sweat. It seemed that they had found us and it was no longer safe here. What should we do? Will they attack these two sisters?

Chances are, if the plaintiff dies, the case will be dead forever.

But where would it be safe to place the sisters?

Fatty said:

"It's no longer safe here. It's better to let the two sisters live in the Yamen. I don't think anyone would dare to go to the Yamen to cause trouble."

I say:

"The Yamen is not safe either. We already have a mole. If they go to the Yamen, wouldn't they be more likely to be targeted?"

The fat man nodded and said:

"Too."

"How about letting them go to the countryside?" I suggested.

"Maybe we were killed by them on the way." The fat man shook his head.

I say:

"We can ask Liu Qingqing to disguise themselves, and then we can lure those people away so they can escape."

"This is the only way now."

I have great confidence in Liu Qingqing's makeup skills. I have personally seen her transform herself into an unshaven monk, and there are no flaws at all, just like she was born to be a monk.

So the six of us sat together and discussed how we could successfully send the two sisters out of the city.

Liu Qingqing looked at the two sisters and said:

"You can draw them as an old couple, so that they are not easily recognized. When you go to the countryside, you can say that they are here to visit relatives."

Well, two old people usually don't attract attention.

Liu Qingqing said:

"Lan'er is too thin and can be painted as an old man. Hui'er is slightly fat and is more consistent with the image of an old woman."

Liu Qingqing continued:

"In addition to them, we also need to wear makeup, otherwise we will be suspected by them. I can transform into Lan'er, and Xiao Tianbao can act as Huier. I rarely go out, so they don't know me. As long as they think these two If the sisters are still here, then the real them will be safe."

I have to admire Liu Qingqing's meticulousness. Sometimes she considers things more carefully than the rest of us.

I have never believed that there is really the art of disguise, but this time I was really dumbfounded.

Under Liu Qingqing's painting brush, Lan'er has transformed from a beautiful young lady to a shriveled and stingy old man, while Hui'er has become a nagging and shrewd old lady. They really are They are a perfect match, and at first glance they look like an old couple who have been married for decades.

I gave a thumbs up and praised:

"How can you disguise yourself? This isn't a hair change."

Liu Qingqing was also modest and said:

"That's right. Don't look at who I am. You'd better be polite to me. If you make me angry, I can paint you into anything, so that you can't even be a human being." Liu Qingqing's face was full of anger. It looks ferocious, but is very cute.

Xiao Tianbao was already pretty and pretty, but when he put on Hui'er's clothes, he looked a bit like him. Coupled with Liu Qingqing's disguise skills, he looked pretty good, and he was more than enough to fool the people outside.
