female catcher

On the road leading to Kyoto, the horseshoes splashed the yellow-brown soil, the two rode in two and galloped, and the shadows of the trees on the side of the road flew backwards.

The first one to ride is a yellow pussy horse with white hair on its head, shaped like a moon and stars, and the body of the horse is covered with yellow hair, like golden coils, without any variegation.People who know horses will be amazed when they see it: what a horse!

Riding on the seat is a woman with divine eyes, in a public uniform, holding the rein in one hand, holding a sword in the other, and a waist card hanging on her waist, which reads: Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Behind her, there was another person on the horse, tightly bound, lying on the horse with his hands behind his back, with a black cloth covering his head.

The other black horse was also a woman.She didn't wear a public uniform, but she also held a sword in one hand and a rein in the other. She was wearing a strong suit, riding alone, and followed the person in front of her closely.

On the avenue, they are the only ones speeding, and sometimes a little bit of dust will fly on the surface, which they have long been used to.The person in charge had ordinary appearance, but beautiful eyes, calm and sharp brows, her ears moved suddenly, and a fast horse galloped forward, coming towards them.

The person who came was a yamen official, and when he saw them, he immediately shouted: "Captain Nangong." When he saw the female arrester, he seemed to see a savior.

Nangong Biluo, the only female head arrester of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has been away from the capital for three months on a business trip to investigate cases.

Both sides stopped, and the man got off his horse and handed a letter to Nangong Biluo.After Nangong Biluo took it apart and looked at it, the brows raised, and the accompanying female companion couldn't help shouting: "Miss?"

Nangong Biluo put away the letter, and threw the man tied behind him to the official, "Send him to the Ministry of Punishment. This is the man Master Lin wants. Shui'er, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he took Qushui and galloped towards the capital.

Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Li Heng paced back and forth in the courtroom, looking out of the door from time to time with an anxious expression on his face.There was another official standing beside him, who was older than Li Heng, with stern brows, long beard and obvious Confucianism.He looked calmer than Li Heng, and he was also Li Heng's superior, Zuodu Censor Wang Rui.

"Master Li, please stay safe and don't be impatient. People, I have ordered someone to call urgently."

"My lord, can you not be in a hurry? In just a few days, another servant of the criminal department died, and he was also sucked dry of blood. It was horrible. The news of the vampire monster spread wildly, and the emperor ordered to solve the case quickly, but we There's no clue at all."

Wang Rui still wanted to say a few words of relief, the horse crowing had already been heard outside, the two of them immediately relaxed and went out to welcome them.

"Nangong, you're back!"

"Master Li," Nangong Biluo was just about to salute when Li Heng grabbed his arm and dragged him in.

"The immodest ceremony will be avoided. Quickly, ask someone to bring Qingfu here."

"My lords, in your letter,"

"Nangong, listen to me..." Li Heng told Nangong Biluo the case, and Wang Rui added the details.

Nangong Biluo frowned more and more, and when the case was finished, Qingfu was also brought up.It had been several days, but Qingfu was still in a trance, as if he had been frightened out of his wits.

Nangong Biluo asked him a few words, but also did not find any useful clues.I could only hear him half-crazy and half-foolishly talking about the weirdness of that night, "It's a monster with green face and fangs, with blood dripping from the corner of its mouth, it looks weird and unhuman, its arms are spread out, very, very wide, and it can fly! Ghost, no, monster, monster .”

Li Heng sighed, and said: "It's been a few days since the interrogation, and he's always talking about blood-sucking monsters, evil spirits and the like. The case of Mr. Liu, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is even more bizarre. He is well-behaved and handles official duties in the study , but when I went in the next day, I found that I was already cold. The body was pale and twisted into a strange shape. There were two holes in the neck, and the blood was almost drained. It looked more like a huge bat hanging upside down. Mrs. Liu passed out on the spot and is still sick in bed."

Qu Shui listened and said in a low voice, "Miss, there really are monsters, right?"

Nangong stared at Qu Shui helplessly, then turned to Wang Rui and said, "My lord, that corpse..."

Wang Rui said: "Don't worry, I have already invited Liu Shang, and now she is in the autopsy room."

Nangong Biluo: "In that case, Master Li will take me to the scene of the crime first."

"well."

Liu House.

Liu Wenjie, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was born in a poor family and was a clean and honest official. The Liu family was not far from the capital procuratorate.The courtyard is very simple, and there are only seven people including the servants, housekeepers and maids. Mr. Liu is obsessed with official duties and has no children. He is a rare good official, but he died in his study on October [-]th.

As soon as Mrs. Liu fell ill, the butler took Nangong Biluo and the others to the room to maintain the original state, except for the corpse, the rest did not move.

There are not many things inside, except for the lighting, there is only a storage cabinet, a desk, a table, a few chairs and a recliner.There is a quilt on the recliner. Liu Wenjie often stays up late at work and sleeps in the study room. This is prepared by Mrs. Liu, but the quilt is still neatly folded. Liu Wenjie should be still handling the case when he was killed.

There were some files on the table, and the files were messed up.Behind the table and case are chairs and cabinets, but neither the chairs nor the cabinets are in their proper positions at the moment.They fell some distance away from the table and case, leaving the wall where the storage cabinets were placed. A large black bat pattern was very conspicuous on the wall, and there was a puddle of blood on the ground.

Nangong Biluo approached the black bat and smelled a faint fragrance of orchids.She touched the pattern on the wall with a white cloth, and the black ink mark seemed to have grown on the wall, and there was only a faint blue color on the white cloth.She immediately squatted down to check the blood stains on the ground. In the whole room, there were only blood stains between the wall and the table. The blood stains had dried up, not much.

Liu Wenjie's lost blood really seemed to be sucked away by something, and he didn't know where it went.

Nangong Biluo turned around and continued to check the fallen chairs and storage cabinets.The chair was already falling apart, one leg was broken in two, and the storage cabinet was also split in half from the middle. It fell a little far away, but there was no trace of dragging on the ground. It seemed that a huge force hit and flew up and fell there .It is impossible for ordinary people to do it. The whole scene looks like the work of ghosts.

Seeing that Nangong Biluo was still squatting, her eyes kept scanning her surroundings, Qu Shui also squatted on the bed and asked in a low voice, "Miss, how are you doing?"

Nangong Biluo shook her head slightly with a serious expression. She got up and said to Li Heng, "Master Li, let's go to Yangxiao Alley."

Sheep alley.

In the small alley of Fireworks and Willow Lane, there are not many people at night, and even less people can be seen in broad daylight.Nangong Biluo came to the place where Zhang Wenbo's body was found. Although he didn't send anyone to guard him, he didn't need it.

Zhang Wenbo's death scene was simpler than Liu Wenjie's, with a little blood and a black mark on the wall.The seal is not as big as Liu's, and the pattern is not clear, more like a pile of black ink spilled, with some scattered ink dots, Nangong Biluo also smelled a faint smell of orchids.There is nothing else, and the simpler the scene, the fewer clues.Nangong Biluo walked along the road for a while, and saw the traces left by Qingfu stepping on the black cat, not far from the place where Zhang Wenbo died.

She looked up and looked around, there were only walls around, doors at a distance, and lanterns hanging, all of which were the backyards of brothels.It was the time when brothel business was at its best, and no one would come to the backyard, and no one knew what happened here. Except for Qingfu, no second witnesses were found.It is not easy to see it from the surrounding high-rise platforms, and even if they can see it, no one will see the situation in the alley.

It was just one of the tall buildings that caught Nangong Biluo's attention.The house was larger and taller than the other pavilions, and from where she stood she could see the upper windows.

"Master Li, is Fengyue Tower over there?"

Li Heng looked up, "That's right, that's Fengyue Tower. Master Zhang was killed after he came out of Fengyue Tower."

"Then, has your lord visited Fengyue Tower?"

Li Heng's face darkened immediately, "I checked, but I didn't find anything!"

Nangong Biluo rolled her eyes and asked, "I didn't find it, or was it deflated?"

Li Heng thought of the daytime scene when he got angry, snorted coldly, and was discouraged again, "Ah~ Although Fengyue Tower is a place of fireworks, there are many princes and ministers behind it. It's no secret, the girl in that building She is the best at pleasing those grown-ups. Feng Piaoxu is not an easy woman. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, Fengyuelou can claim to be the number one building in the world, but who is the boss behind it? Why, do you think this case is related to Fengyuelou? "

Nangong Biluo shook her head, then changed the subject, "My lord, let's go see if there is any clue at Liushang."

"It's—good."

Yamen, autopsy room.

Li Heng was a little disgusted with this place, it was gloomy and smelly.If it wasn't for investigating the case, he wouldn't want to come here at all. Nangong Biluo saw it and shook his head.

When I entered the autopsy room, it was not as smelly as I expected. There were five wooden beds, two of which were empty, two of which were covered with white cloth, and the white cloth on the body of the other bed had been removed.A woman in blue is examining the body, her face is covered with a white scarf, and her hands are wearing gloves.

"Sister Shang." Qu Shui didn't see her sister for many days, so she couldn't help calling out first, but Liu Shang seemed to have not heard her, and focused on the corpse in front of her.

When they approached, they saw an almost skeletonized corpse lying on a wooden bed, and Liu Shang was holding the corpse's skinny hands and observing.She felt the corpse and gently pulled her fingers, and a part of the nails of the corpse fell off. Qu Shui's expression immediately became as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, and she wanted to vomit.

Nangong Biluo asked: "Liu Shang, did you find anything?"

Only then did Liu Shang realize that someone had arrived.She raised her head, took off a glove, and took a face towel. She had a clean and refined face, a big beauty.

She walked to another wooden bed next to her, lifted the white cloth, and revealed another mummy, speaking very gently: "The two adults died of excessive blood loss, and there are two sharp teeth marks on their necks. The thin hole in the hole was preliminarily estimated to be caused by the tip of the sharp blade. The time interval between deaths was seven days, and the speed of death was very fast, without too much struggle, but it was very painful, because their bodies would only twist during the process of blood loss. Based on the current situation Look, ordinary people can't do it, and more clues can only be further excavated after the relatives of the two adults agree to the autopsy."

Li Heng was anxious when he heard that, and looked at Liushang, but he didn't dare to look at the corpse, "So you don't have any clues anymore?"

Liu Shang: "Except for the excessive blood loss and two small holes, nothing."

Li Heng: "Could it be that the vampire bat turned into a monster?"

Nangong Biluo shook his head helplessly, "My lord, if you don't talk about strange powers and distracting spirits, you will not be controlled by ghosts and gods if you have righteous thoughts in your heart. What's more, you can't judge anything now."

Li Heng: "Yes."

Before Nangong Biluo opened his mouth, Qu Shui said first: "But what is it, Mr. Li, with my young lady here, I will definitely be able to find out the truth."

Li Hengxi said: "Okay, if you need anything, just say it, and the whole of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will fully cooperate. I have been kept awake at night recently, so I won't stay here. If you need anything, just say it, and I will leave first." .” After speaking, he left the autopsy room.

Nangong Biluo was helpless and funny, and knocked Qushui on the head, "You can't think of your young lady as a fairy, you deserve it so fast."

"Anyway, it didn't fall on you in the end. Miss, you are the number one arresting goddess of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Qu Shui stuck out his tongue.

Nangong Biluo smiled dotingly, then watched Liu Shang cover the corpse. "Liu Shang, how hard are the courses in the Tai Hospital?"

"It's okay. Most of the wives have taught me before that I enter the palace on time every month because of the ancient books of the Taiyuan Hospital. I won't stay too long. After all, I still have the business of the hospital to take care of." Liushang sorted out the tools, and thought of something Said: "By the way, Miss, have you returned to Beijing yet?"

Nangong Biluotong thought of something, smiled wryly: "Not yet."

Liu Shang looked at her sympathetically.Qu Shui was bored, and saw that there was a piece of cloth covering it, which looked very small, not like a corpse. Curious, she stretched out her hand to remove the white cloth, and asked, "Sister Shang, what is this?"

"Shui'er, don't..."

It's too late.

A dissected dead cat appeared in front of Qu Shui, and the stench was so strong that her stomach immediately turned upside down and she ran to the side.

Liu Shang said angrily: "You, you also rummaged through my things here."

"Uh, how would I know, uh," Qu Shui stopped talking and continued to vomit.

Nangong Biluo went to the black cat's body to check, "Is this the dead cat at the scene of Zhang Wenbo's murder?"

"Well, the dissecting person needs to apply, but the cat doesn't have to." Liu Shang put on his gloves and picked up the bloody cat's internal organs, "I dissected the cat and found this."

Nangong Biluo took a look and was surprised: "This is, Destructive Palm?"

Liu Shang nodded: "Yes, Destroying Heart Palm."

Nangong Biluo's eyes narrowed, "Oh, it's getting more and more interesting."

Liu Shang said, "If you knew that there were actually two cases of murder and bloodletting before, you wouldn't find it interesting."

"What! There is still a murder case?" Nangong Biluo frowned.

"Well, together on September 21th, and together on September [-]st."

It turned out that the murder and bloodletting case happened as early as a month ago.It was only because the deceased were two ordinary people who were suppressed by the government that there was no sensation at that time.But the case remained unsolved, and now that two court officials had died, the rumors of vampire monsters could no longer be suppressed, and Long Yan was furious, so he was anxious to solve the case.

Nangong Biluo's expression became serious, and finally she could only sigh.

After a moment of silence in the autopsy room, Nangong Biluo said: "Liu Shang, Shui'er, whether it's a human or a ghost, we must catch this murderer."

She clenched her hands behind her back a little.
