Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Liu Zhengping put the relevant case files on the flower picker on the desk, "Master Nie, these are all the files on the nine cases that the thief committed."

"Master Liu, go and do your work. I'll finish reading these first." Cui Qiyan picked up the top volume.

"Then I won't disturb Mr. Nie."

After Liu Zhengping left, Cui Qiyan carefully read the files.

He read it very carefully, word for word, not missing any detail. Although investigating the case was just an excuse on the surface, he had already had a general understanding of the case before coming. In less than a year, nine women were abducted by flower pickers in Yuzhou, but the government did not find any useful clues, which is simply appalling.

What I saw on the street that day was that the people of Yuzhou were in panic, and the young woman was staying behind closed doors. And the real murderer is still at large. He will definitely not stop there. There will be a tenth, an eleventh... I don’t know how many innocent women will be victimized.

Now that he is here, Cui Qiyan has decided to find out the case, so he brought Yunling here. Of course he won't forget about business.

At noon, Liu Zhengping brought him food, "Master Nie, it's not too late to eat something and rest for a while before reading."

Cui Qiyan looked away from the file, stood up, walked over, and looked at the food on the table. The three dishes included fish and meat, which was more sumptuous than what he had eaten at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, let alone compared with the patrol camp he had stayed in before. It's not like there has been a famine for many years, and even the taxes and money cannot collect enough food for the Yamen of a state. The lively scene on the street last night and the booming business in Ruyi Building were also abnormal.

He said calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

"No matter what Mr. Nie said, it was all because of the incompetence of the subordinate officials that made Mr. Nie

I came from the capital specifically to help. "Liu Zhengping looked sad, "I am ashamed of the imperial court, I am ashamed of the people of Yuzhou, and I am even more ashamed of the nine women and their families. "

"That man committed crimes continuously. He must still be in the city. Have the officials searched the whole city?" Cui Qiyan asked.

"Of course there are. During this period, every house was searched three times, but nothing was found." Liu Zhengping said a little frustrated.

"The case has been investigated for so long. Apart from what is written in the case file, has Mr. Liu found anything else?"

"It's really shameful that all the clues we have so far are only what's in the case file."

Cui Qiyan's brows furrowed unconsciously. He had read most of the case file. There was very little description of the criminal, and there was not a single word about his appearance and physical signs. That man worked on nine cases, but no one encountered him.

"I understand, Mr. Liu, let's go have a meal too." Cui Qiyan sat at the table.

"The subordinate retire."

Cui Qiyan was eating and thinking about the files he had just read. The more he thought about it, the more difficult the case became and there were too few useful clues.

After eating absentmindedly, he threw himself at the desk again.

After reading all the files, Cui Qiyan already understood the situation of the nine abducted girls, but he still had no clue about the criminals.

He was at the place where the yamen stored various case files. He stood up and took this opportunity to search for the case files on tax collection and grain collection in Yuzhou.

The results of the review also disappointed him. If there was really a problem in Yuzhou, then these case files were obviously forged. The real accounts were probably in the hands of the person who led all this, and who this person was, he already had suspicions in his heart.

At this time, there were footsteps coming this way

As he came, he quickly put down the case files, returned to his desk and fell asleep with his head in his hands.

The door was pushed open, the footsteps changed from heavy to soft, and the person calling him softly, "Master Nie?"

Cui Qiyan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with sleepiness.

"Have you finished reading the file, Mr. Nie? It's getting late. I'm here to take a look. I don't want to disturb your rest." Liu Zhengping said in a low voice.

"It's okay, I originally planned to think about the case, but unexpectedly I fell asleep." Cui Qiyan moved his arms.

"Master Nie must be tired after reading so many files at once. Go back and rest early today. This thief will not be caught in a short time."

"Alright."

As soon as Cui Qiyan walked to the door, he ran into Yan Chao.

"Master Nie is leaving?" Yan Chao was much more energetic than in the morning.

"Yes, I accidentally fell asleep inside just now. I'd better go back first."

"As it should be, I'll see you off." Yan Chao turned sideways to make way, but he was disdainful in his heart. He could fall asleep even while reading the files. It's not like he was here to investigate the case.

On the way, Cui Qiyan said: "Tomorrow I want to go to the kidnapped girl's home to investigate again. Please ask Master Yan to send a few people who are familiar with the case to go with me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Nie, I will make arrangements for you."

When Cui Qiyan returned to the house, Ji Bai immediately greeted him, "The master is back."

After entering the room, Yunling brought him a cup of tea.

Cui Qiyan looked up and saw that she was still looking like she was in the morning. She was so angry that she still hadn't figured it out after a day?

"Master, have you found any clues about the flower picker?" Ji Bai asked eagerly.

Cui Qiyan took a sip of tea and lowered his eyebrows, "No, the nine girls were kidnapped by him at different times and places. Some of them were in Baibai

They disappeared when they went out, and some were kidnapped at home. No one saw him doing this. The only thing that is certain is that he used smoke. "

Ji Bai clenched his fists and said angrily: "This man is really rampant. He can kidnap people without any scruples in broad daylight. I can't wait to see who he is."

Cui Qiyan saw that Yunling had no reaction after hearing this, so he couldn't help but warned: "The matter is more complicated than expected. Don't go out alone. If there is anything, ask Ji Bai to come with you."

"The servant has recorded it."

Yunling's face was calm, but her heart was in turmoil. Ji Bai was Cui Qiyan's right-hand man, but now he left him to her. He was the one who deliberately put her in danger, and he was the one who let the most capable person protect her. It made her look ignorant if she still cared about this matter, but this was a matter of life and death, and she couldn't completely ignore it.

Ji Bai was also very anxious that he could not follow Cui Qiyan to do things, with obvious anxiety on his face, "Master, what are you going to do next?"

"I want to personally go to the place where the nine women disappeared to see if I can find some clues."

"It's been so long, I guess there won't be any trace left."

"How do you know if you don't go there? Relying on files will only stop you from progressing."

Ji Bai was in a dilemma, "Youngster can't help the master. You have to go to so many places alone..."

Hearing this, Yun Ling said: "Master, this slave will not go out without your instructions, so let Ji Bai help you. This is Master Yan's house, and thieves should be wary and not dare to break in easily."

This was what she said to comfort herself. Cui Qiyan needed Ji Bai, and Ji Bai also wanted to follow him.

, and she is just a servant, how can she put them all in trouble because of her? As for her own safety, she was also betting that the flower-picking thieves would not dare to come.

Thinking of those nine innocent girls, she also hoped to catch the thief as soon as possible and maybe rescue them. Just think of it as her doing her part.

Ji Bai's eyes lit up, he thought her words made sense, and hoped that Cui Qiyan would agree.
