Was it sent by the emperor to secretly investigate the murder case? Or was it an ambush by the enemy? Ling Xiao thought to himself.

Ling Xiao and Cui Yun took a rest in the room, and Xiao Er came to knock on the door with sliced ​​beef and daughter Hong, who was full of wine.When Ling Xiao opened the door, he suddenly changed his mind, and said to Xiao Er: "There is no one in the hall, so please help me choose a quiet place to arrange the wine and meat. It's better to eat in the hall."

The waiter replied: "Guest officer, there is a clean place in the hall, but there are three military masters who have been drinking in the hall since last night, and they haven't left yet. You should not go there to join in the fun, sir. How beautiful it is to drink a glass of wine and eat some meat in the room, and let the beauty play the pipa."

Ling Xiao was overjoyed. Although Xiao Er's identity was unknown, her vision was not very good, so she didn't realize that she was a daughter.Seeing that she and Cuiyun only had the same room, Cuiyun always looked wronged in every possible way, probably thinking that the son of a wealthy family fell in love with the maid and escaped without permission from the family.

Ling Xiao turned her head to look at Cui Yun, who was already blushing, and smiled at Xiao Er: "Don't talk about playing the pipa, this beauty, in my opinion, doesn't do anything other than being close to me." Turning her head, she said to Cui Yun , "Let's go, go to the lobby."

"My lord, I won't go, I'm not hungry." Cuiyun said in a low voice.

"That's fine, you rest first, I'll go out right after I finish the food and drink, if you come back late in the afternoon, you can order the food yourself."

Cuiyun nodded and watched Lingxiao follow Xiaoer downstairs.

As soon as Ling Xiao walked out of Cuiyun's sight, she quickly closed the door, turned back to the room and checked around, and opened the window when she saw nothing unusual, and saw the pigeons she was feeding followed.

She deliberately delayed along the way so that the carrier pigeon would not get lost, and it really wasn't in vain.

Cuiyun whistled, and the pigeon landed on the window sill with its gray wings.Cuiyun rummaged through the package she carried with her, found a pen, dipped it in ink, wrote a few words on the small note, and tied the note to the carrier pigeon's leg.

"Little Hui, hurry up and bring the news to the lord." Cuiyun whispered to the pigeon, patted its head, and let it fly away.

***************************************

All kinds of people from south to north gather in the lobby of the inn. You can hear a lot of news without opening your mouth. Of course, most of them are useless.

It was an unlucky time to come here today, but it's better to have someone drinking here than not at all.Lingxiao thought to himself.

As Xiaoer said, there were only three police officers drinking in the lobby.Ling Xiao didn't look familiar with their clothes, and he presumably was the lowest-level catcher.If it weren't for the two characters of Sheng Lian on the waist tags hanging around their waists, Ling Xiao might think that they are from other countries.

The waiter picked a place for Ling Xiao where he could see the entire hall, but it was not easy for the three police officers to see.Ling Xiao sat down satisfied, and rewarded Xiaoer with a small amount of money.Poured a glass of wine, took two sips, stared at the glass, and thought: What kind of girl is this?A plate of beef remained untouched, and she wasn't hungry in the first place.

The three police officers talked about trivial things, whose chicken was stolen, whose wife was beautiful, whose salary was higher than who...

Ling Xiao was bored, so he prepared this glass of wine and left after drinking.Today's luck is bad, it seems that I can't hear the news I want.Just thinking about it, the topic of the three arrests caught Ling Xiao's attention.

"Come, come, have another drink." The older policeman poured wine for the other two. He was already a little drunk, and his hands shaking uncontrollably, "You said, this time we broke that Will a murder case lead to promotion and fortune?"

Murder? Ling Xiao's heart trembled.When they listened carefully again, the three of them had already lowered their voices.

"Naturally, you didn't hear that the murdered person was the son-in-law? If you solve this murder case, you might be able to become a county magistrate!"

One of them obviously didn't know much about the situation, and asked, "My son-in-law? Which son-in-law?"

"Princess Lingxiao's son-in-law was killed!"

"Keep your voice down! The emperor ordered to block the news, you yell so loudly, you want to be beheaded!"

Having said that, the three policemen stopped and looked around, but luckily they didn't see Ling Xiao.When they spoke again, their voices were a little lower.

"The son-in-law was killed yesterday evening. I was on a business trip at the time. I met the horse-carrying convoy of the son-in-law when I was patrolling the streets. During that battle, it seemed that our common people were not allowed to go to the streets. Hmph, what is the air? A rotting corpse!"

"Don't talk useless, continue to talk about what happened after patrolling the streets."

"By taking advantage of the convenience of patrolling the streets, I followed the consort's cavalry and saw them living in the inn, which is the inn we stayed in."

Having said that, the other two gasped, but didn't speak. They obviously didn't expect that they were at the first scene of the murder.

☆, Chapter 23

The older policeman glanced at the two young policemen each, and continued with a serious face. "I followed the son-in-law's horse team all the way to the post station. I wondered why the horses they rode were so tall. What did Qiyang's horses eat to grow up? They were much bigger than ours! So I went to the stable where they tied the horses. Look and think, but I still don’t understand. At this time, a mistress went to deliver food to the son-in-law. As soon as the mistress opened the door and went in, he yelled, ‘Killer! Killer!’, I still don’t understand why A man in black came out of the incident room and didn't say anything, the waiter in the store was killed in a flash of cold light, the man in black dragged the body of the waiter into the room, and left after a while."

As the policeman said, he rubbed his forehead with lingering fear.The younger policeman sighed when he heard it: "Brother, you are so brave. If I had been there at that time, I would have been scared to death when I saw Xiao Er killed."

"Of course the shit is fucked!" the policeman was about to say that for a while, but he immediately regretted it, what a loss in front of the younger generation.So, he pretended to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment.

The little policeman didn't understand why he invited himself and another policeman to drink here last night since the old policeman had seen the scene, and asked with a puzzled face, "Then elder brother brought us here, The drinking on the surface is actually for investigation?"

"It's not all, I just don't understand a few things in my heart, and I want to take a look again." The old catcher wanted to look quickly, but he didn't have the guts.But he didn't say that. "I don't understand why the man in black wanted to kill Xiaoer since he killed the son-in-law."

"Murder to silence?" the little policeman said, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

The old catcher quickly shook his head, "No, the murderer was dressed in black, and he only dug two holes in the black scarf to see outside. There was no place to reveal his identity, and there was no need to kill him. He killed the second general. Dragging the corpse into the house, there is a high possibility that the consort's guards will find it, why would he take such a risk?"

The old catcher quickly shook his head, took a sip of his wine, and continued: "I don't understand one more thing. When the son-in-law entered the post station, there were a lot of guards, all of them had sharp swords on their waists, and their martial arts were definitely not weak. How could even a son-in-law I can’t even protect you? After I saw the murder scene, I hid for a while before getting up and sneaking away. Only then did I see the guards of the son-in-law appearing in the corridor, and the direction of the escape path of the man in black was completely opposite. How could they catch up? The murderer? Could it be that he is with the murderer?"

"At that time, the guards probably didn't know that the son-in-law was killed." The little catcher said quickly.

"Of course I don't know. He was the only one when the son-in-law entered the house. At that time, I was hiding in the stable to look at his horses. I was envious and looked up at the room where he lived. He happened to be walking into the house. I was worried that he would see him Me, I remember it clearly, absolutely only him!"

"When the guards arrived, the ten arresting heads were all there, so I wondered. We usually patrol the streets and report to the yamen on time. When did the ten arresting heads show up, and why did they show up so diligently yesterday?"

"Someone should have reported the crime. The crime scenes where the ten arresters appear are usually serious murder cases. No one dares to bother him about petty theft cases." The little policeman said.When it comes to the ten catchers, the tone is full of worship.

"No one has ever been to the scene of the murder. Only me and the murderer, the man in black, are the only ones alive who know that the murder happened. I didn't report the crime while I was still at the scene. Can't Xiao Er and the son-in-law use the corpse to report the crime? The murderer himself went to report the crime? Haha Haha, how is it possible."
