Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

After tossing all morning, when the two returned to Dali Temple, as Luo Lanye expected, Emperor Dehui had already learned that He Wenguang had been beaten with a sap.

The emperor is a dutiful son, and before the Queen Mother could speak, he had already issued a death order to Mr. Hu, and he said it very diligently and lovingly - "The Jiangyang thief threatened the safety of the people in the capital. People's hearts."

Mr. Hu is old and his term of office is about to expire, and now he is a hands-off shopkeeper, so the burden naturally falls on the head of the second in command Luo Lanye.

Besides, everyone knew that after he left office, Luo Lanye's position as the top leader of Dali Temple would definitely belong to Luo Lanye.

Not only did he have to coordinate and direct, but he also had to personally inspect the scene. In addition to judging the case, he was also in charge of the appointment of the large and small affairs personnel in the yamen.

It is said that when Luo Lan got home at night, he had to turn on the lights and work until late at night, which could be called a long-cherished night sleep.

Bai Chen thought silently, no wonder Mr. Luo, who is talented and promising, is still alone in his thirties. He probably doesn't even have time to find an official matchmaker.

...Maybe this is the man who is said to be married to a job?

After Mr. Hu finished his lecture, it happened that Mr. Jing Zhao Yinmei sent the servants to bring over the files of the previous murder and robber cases.

The workaholic Mr. Luo took Bai Chen with him, and immediately started discussing the case without even caring for lunch.

The yamen servant who sent the file said that before He Wenguang was attacked, there were five cases in total. Three of them were seriously injured, and two of them died of excessive blood loss because no one found them after the attack.

The two surviving victims said that they did not see who attacked them, and that they felt a pain in the back of their head while walking, and then lost consciousness.

After dismissing the yamen servant, Luo Lanye sat on a chair and handed the file to Bai Chen, "I'm going to hand over this case to you."

Bai Chen was a little surprised that the case that the Holy Majesty personally supervised was handed over to him, a seventh-rank sesame official?

But the words of the boss are orders, and Bai Chen also understands in his heart that this is an opportunity Luo Lanye gave him, and it is also a great trust in him.

He got up quickly, took the file with both hands, and said seriously: "I will do my best to solve the case as soon as possible."

Luo Lanye said: "You check the file first, and I want to hear your preliminary thoughts on these cases before distributing the value."

"Yes."

……

Time was tight and the task was heavy, Bai Chen didn't dare to neglect, bid farewell to Luo Lanye, he didn't even have time to eat, so he went back to his new "office" and started to check the files.

"Master Bai, may I make you a cup of tea?"

Just as Bai Chen sat down, a small official hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Okay." Bai Chen said, "Wang Hu, by the way, bring the red box from my bookcase."

After Bai Chen was promoted to the seventh rank, he also had his own subordinates, who acted as assistants.

This Wang Hu wasn't particularly clever, but he was diligent, he could write well, he could record it for him, and he had some fist skills, so it was convenient to take him out to investigate the case.

As soon as Bai Chen opened the first file and read a few lines, Wang Hu made tea and presented the red box.

He opened the lid of the box, and the box contained some dry food and pastries that could be stored for a few days.

Speaking of this, there is a reason.

After Bai Chen was hungry a few times because of the case, he told Xiao Lin in a joking tone while chatting, but Xiao Lin brought the box quietly the next day and filled him with a box full of pastries dry food.

He said that when he ran out of food, he would buy some to add to it himself, so that at least he would not be hungry.

The expression is serious and unaffected.

……

Bai Chen looked at the dry food in his hand, withdrew his thoughts, took a bite, and began to read the file seriously.

Once he was in the working state, he didn't think about anything else. Every time he thought of a clue, he asked Wang Hu to record it.

Unknowingly, the bell of the yamen's office rang.

When Bai Chen looked up, it was already sunset, and the sky was full of red clouds, which was beautiful and spectacular.

He didn't know when the lights were turned on in the room, but he didn't notice it at all.

He suddenly remembered what Master Luo said to hear his initial thoughts before the shift, so he quickly got up, picked up the notes written by Wang Hu, and rushed towards Luo Lanye's study.

Naturally, Luo Lanye didn't leave so soon. Looking from the courtyard, he was concentrating on his work under the lamp.

Bai Chen walked to the door and knocked on the door frame, "Lord Luo, it's a humble job."

"Come in." Luo Lanye said.

When Bai Chen walked into the room, Luo Lanye raised his head, "But you have some clues? Sit down."

"Thank you, sir." Bai Chen sat on the chair opposite Luo Lanye's writing case, glanced at the record written by Wang Hu, cleared his throat, "After reading the file carefully this afternoon, I have some preliminary ideas. "

Luo Lanye raised his chin, "Tell me."

"I think this villain didn't just pick anyone he saw to kill, but was selective. The six victims were all thin and thin. They had rich family backgrounds and loved to hang out at fireworks places. They were so drunk that they became vigilant. Poor nature, almost no resistance, is the best target. They were attacked in different alleys, the same thing is in the alleys around the brothels in the south of the city, and they have visited that brothel before. " Bai Chen said, "It's just that the first five victims are all ordinary businessmen, only Mr. He has a prominent family background. I suspect that Mr. He was accidentally injured by that gangster."

"You mean that Jiangyang's bandit only looks for wealthy but powerless people to attack?" Luo Lanye said, "He knows that if he hurts the powerful, he will immediately attract the attention of the court. No matter how powerful he is, he can't match the elite forces of the court. .”

"This is just a conjecture from a lowly position." Bai Chen said, "After all, the south of the city is a place where the three religions and the nine streams gather. Except for a few dignitaries who patronize the Qinlou Chu Pavilion there because of curiosity, the customers are basically ordinary wealthy businessmen. This kind of person is easy to get, and there are a lot less worries.”

"It makes sense." Luo Lanye said, "This scoundrel is a little clever."

Bai Chen: "I speculate that this villain is in the south of the city, and he is hiding in the field of fireworks in the south of the city."

"Why can't he live in the west of the city? Why must he be in the south of the city?" Luo Lanye was curious, "From the files, we can see where this villain is hiding?"

Bai Chen was in a bit of a dilemma. He couldn't talk to him about modern "criminal cartography" and "criminal psychology".

He thought for a while, and said: "This is also a kind of conjecture from a humble official. For example, if I were going to commit a crime, I would definitely choose an environment I am familiar with and plan my escape route in advance, so that I would feel the danger in my heart. It is safe and secure, and he can hide quickly after committing a crime. If he lives in the west of the city, why should he go so far to the south of the city to commit crimes, which is a waste of time and energy."

Luo Lanye thought about Bai Chen's words carefully, and said thoughtfully, "It sounds reasonable, but I don't think it's enough to show that he's hiding in the workshops where the brothels in the south of the city are located."

Bai Chen also knew that his words were too metaphysical, and it was impossible for Luo Lanye to immediately agree with him.

He was not in a hurry to refute, but said: "Of course, the inference of the humble officer may not be correct, the case needs further investigation, and the humble officer is going to meet the three victims who are still alive tomorrow, maybe there is something missing clue."

"Okay." Luo Lanye said, "But you have to remember, we only have fifteen days."

"Yes, my lord."

It was... Alexander, but it was a good opportunity for him too.

……

Walking out of Dali Temple, it was already dark, and Bai Chen felt a little dizzy.

I am afraid that countless brain cells will die today.

Looking at the bluestone road outside the yamen, Bai Chen slapped his head and forgot to call the carriage again.If that Bingshan knew, he would seriously say that he disregarded his own safety.

Tomorrow, I must go to buy a carriage.

He moved his limbs, rubbed his neck, and prepared to walk home.

Before he took a few steps, a carriage slowly drove towards him.

He is very familiar with the groom sitting in front of the carriage, this is Xiao Lin's carriage.

"Woo~~" The groom put away his whip, pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped.

"Hello, little madam." The groom jumped out of the car and saluted respectfully.

Bai Chen: ...

Just about to correct his name, the curtain of the car was lifted, Xiao Lin's handsome and expressionless face was revealed, "Come up quickly, it's getting late."

"……it is good."

Forget it, he is so tired that he doesn't even want to talk anymore, so he doesn't have to entangle the address with the groom.

Bai Chen got into the car and sat on the comfortable cushion, tiredness hit him immediately, he cheered up and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Just entered the city, I guess you haven't left the yamen, so I asked the groom to come and have a look." Xiao Lin said helplessly, "I guess you didn't call for a carriage today."

"I'm so busy today that I don't touch the ground, so I don't care about these things." Bai Chen said, "Tomorrow I happen to have something to go to the south of the city, so I can buy a car and come back."

"What are you doing in the south of the city? Investigating the case?"

"Yes, ask the three victims about the night when the crime happened." Bai Chen yawned, put his hands in his sleeves, and leaned his head against the wall of the car, as if planning to close his eyes and rest his mind.

Ordinary people yawn in front of Xiao Lin regardless of his image, and he might immediately want to throw him out, but this person in front of him yawns and then curls up like a kitten, just wanting someone to rub his head.

But... he still held back.

"You have to be careful." Xiao Lin said, "The south side of the city may not be safe even in daylight."

"En." Bai Chen said in a daze, his voice sounded sleepy.

"How about I go with you tomorrow?"

No echo.

Xiao Lin turned his head, and Bai Chen had already closed his eyes, probably asleep.

This year, Bai Chen's facial features have developed a lot. From the previous delicate and handsome appearance, he has gradually become handsome, and his childishness has gradually receded. He has become a man who is indomitable in the officialdom.

——Only the tear mole right now is still bright red and enchanting, which adds a bit of charming charm to him.

The carriage was driving on the Qingshi Road, and the surroundings were quiet. There were only the two of them in the carriage, which was secretive and beautiful.

This time, Xiao Lin didn't hold back, stretched out his hand, and gently brushed the inexplicable mole of tears with his fingers.

The touch of his fingers was so good that he couldn't help touching his face again.

Sighing lightly, Xiao Lin withdrew his hand.

I don't know when there is no need to be so sneaky?

Looking at Bai Chen's peaceful sleeping face, Xiao Lin also decided to close his eyes and rest for a while.

……

In the darkness, Bai Chen's eyes slowly opened, he frowned, his face darkened.
