The 42 criminal offices in Zhongyang are scattered and interspersed in the [-] squares, so that Zhongyang people can report to the officials in time and quickly.Xianmingfang is the most important aristocratic square in Zhongyang City, and there is a crime department at the gate of the square. After Xiao He ran to report the case, the officers and soldiers came very quickly.

The guards in Zhongyang City are called "Golden Chanzi", and the one on duty at the Xianming Square at the moment is Wushun who has just been promoted to the head of the workshop.

Zhongyang has always had good law and order and few murders. Wu Shun was worried that he would not have a way to get promoted and make a fortune. He was overjoyed to see Xiao He who came to report the case, so Dang Shi rushed to the Chaozhong Well with a group of people.

Unexpectedly, there was already a large circle of people around the Chaozhong well, pointing and pointing, but Wushun put on airs, swearing and making a way out of the crowd, only to find a very handsome man standing in front of the well. The young man in white.

And in the hands of this young man in white, it is a woman's gold hairpin.

It’s just that the golden hairpin is nothing, what’s frightening is that the hairpin of the golden hairpin is tightly entwined with many black hairs, and it seems that there are some plaques, and the tail of the hairpin is stained with very eye-catching blood—it looks like a hairpin at first glance. It is a murder weapon, no wonder there are so many spectators around.

Wu Shun glanced at the things in the hands of the young man in white, made a decisive decision, slapped his thigh and said: "Come on, restrain this man!"

The officers and soldiers behind him didn't know what was going on, but they rushed up and grabbed the young man in white's arms tightly.The young man in white was neither angry nor resisted, and even smiled at him, speaking softly and helplessly: "Why are you arresting me, sir?"

Wu Shun took the "murder weapon" hairpin from his hand, and scolded: "What are you doing standing at the scene of the murder for no reason, you must have other motives!"

The young man in white said: "I misunderstood, what can I plan..."

But Wu Shun didn't listen to him: "Based on my many years of experience in catching suspects, the person closest to the scene is usually the murderer!"

The young man in white also interrupted him: "Based on my many years of experience in making a living, I would like to remind my lord a friendly word—does my lord know a rule?"

Wu Shunqi asked, "What?"

The young master said seriously: "Your Excellency, you have just come to Xianmingfang to take office. Do you know who are the people living in Xianmingfang? The great nobles and merchants of the Great Seal gather here. Except for the master, they are slaves. I feel that I look good. Unlike slaves, did your lord guess who you arrested?"

After he said this, Wu Shun seemed to have been slapped in the face. He had been in the chaotic poor neighborhood for a long time, and he just transferred here today. He forgot about this. once……

Wu Shun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and while motioning the officers and soldiers to let go of him, he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, the little one guessed it, the little one was abrupt, I don't know if the adults are..."

The young man in white rubbed his arm, and replied very sincerely: "It's a coincidence, I happen to be the only exception—a villain, a grass-roots man, I just came for a walk today."

Wu Shun's smile froze on his face, he looked at the other party's expression, and found that the other party didn't seem to be joking with him, and immediately flew into a rage. He was born in a poor family, and he stopped using official accents in a hurry: "How dare you Dare to tease my uncle?"

The young master cupped his hands and bowed to him: "Don't dare, dare not dare, Caomin didn't say anything, the adults guessed it themselves."

"You are talking nonsense and deceiving the officers and soldiers. You don't look like a good person at first glance!" Wushun waved his hand, and several officers and soldiers just pressed his arms again, "Leave a few people here to salvage, look at this well. What the hell is there! Take this person back to me for the rest, this person is sneaky, if you interrogate carefully, you will definitely gain something!"

Jin Chanzi's footsteps were too fast, and Xiao He chased him for a long time before rushing back to the scene. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he was surprised to see the officers and soldiers turning away the young man he had just met, and was stunned for a moment: "This..."

"Do you know that person?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, Xiao He turned around and found that it was indeed his master, Shen Amber, who had been standing in the crowd with his arms folded to watch the excitement, "The market opens today, I wanted to go out Going to Qizhenfang, unexpectedly saw a play on the way."

"General!" Xiao He was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "I recognize him. This young master just lost his way in Xianmingfang. I led the way for him. It was he who smelled the well water I pumped up and told me to report it. Official, how did these officials take him away..."

Shen Amber is in her early thirties this year, and she looks like a rough military man. She has neglected military training in recent years and focused on elegant things. Today she is wearing a long robe with books, but she is wearing a pair of woven hemp shoes that fishermen often wear. What do you think? awkward.He squinted his eyes to look at the backs of the people leaving, and suddenly said: "Interesting...Xiao He, let's go and see what they fished first."

Xiao He said anxiously: "But... those officials won't do anything to the young master? What if they send him to prison?"

Shen Amber waved her hand and said indifferently: "It's going to be fine, don't worry."

Two days later.

When Chu Shao arrived at the Office of Zhao Sin at Fangmen, there was already a large group of people sitting in the lobby.

The first one is the commanding officer of Da Nei Parrot Guard, Antai General Jin Mingjing. Jin Mingjing is over forty years old. He is regarded as a good general of Dayin. Sitting there without saying a word - don't blame him for losing his composure, Chu Shao had heard the news before coming, and heard that a few days ago, Zhao Sin Division salvaged a female corpse in the Chaozhong Canal, it was Jin Mingjing who had been missing for seven days More than one wife.

The people below are also old acquaintances-the currently unemployed Heisei General Shen Amber, Parrot Guard Jin Mingjing's supervisor Qin Mu, and a few of Jin Mingjing's former colleagues when he was leading the army.The one on the side, I heard that it was Wu Shun, the head of the Xiaofang who had just been transferred to the Xianming Zhaocriminal Division. When he saw him coming in, his legs went limp, and he hurriedly nodded and bowed down to serve tea: "Please trouble General Chu... Please be safe and calm, my lords." , we have already arrested a suspect at the scene, if you adults want to meet, I will bring him up now..."

Behind Shen Amber, a brown-clothed servant suddenly said indignantly: "What suspect, that young master..."

"Then bring it up." Shen Amber suddenly put down the tea in her hand and interrupted the servant, "It's no fun to talk, so you can get some idea if you ask."

Wu Shun said: "Yes yes yes, come and bring the suspect!"

After a while, a young man in white came into the hall, claiming to be a suspect, but this young man in white was handsome and looked very calm, the people around him did not dare to touch him, they just followed behind him, and said in the hall: "My lord, I brought it here."

Chu Shao lazily sat on a chair drinking tea, and the two guards who went out with Zhou Lanmu had told him about it long ago. Let's see what Zhou Lanmu will do.

Zhou Lanmu didn't blame him for not looking for him, and even smiled and nodded when he saw him.So Chu Shao squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth. He didn't say anything, and only showed him a fun-loving smile.

Wu Shun saw that he was not polite, so he shouted: "Bold suspect, you haven't interrogated you these two days, what do you have to confess?"

"Confess, let me think about it..." Zhou Lanmu brushed off the non-existent dust on his cuffs, and said slowly, "Ah, yes, yesterday I was discussing theft experience with the inmate next door, and I thought this person was a genius, so he was locked in the prison It's really a waste...and it's a common practice for jailers to deduct food from prisoners. If it wasn't for winning the dominoes yesterday, they would definitely not be able to eat meat. This is not a good thing, and..."

Zhongyang criminals who are found guilty in the Classic Xing Temple must go to Dian Xing Temple to serve their sentences.The crime departments everywhere can only set up temporary prisons, so there are no heinous criminals in the prisons, only some petty criminals.

"It's nonsense, how decent it is!" Wu Shun slapped the table and shouted, "I want you to explain what happened at Chaozhong Well the day before yesterday!"

Xiao He on the side finally took the opportunity to interject: "My lord, that day when I came to Zhao Sin Division, it was this young master who asked me to come! He is clearly the informant who found out about this matter, why did you put him in prison!"

Wu Shun was startled, and before he could speak, Jin Mingjing, who was sitting at the top, said, "The body has only been picked up for a day, so how could there be a suspect? Besides, if it's as General Shen's servant said, I would like to thank you." This son found my wife's body, if not..."

As he spoke, he suddenly choked up, but he remained silent.Wu Shun didn't dare to speak for a while, but Zhou Lanmu who was standing in the hall seemed not to see Jin Mingjing's sadness, and said very happily: "Since General Jin has said so, please help me, my lord, to bring me a chair."

Before Wu Shun could speak, Chu Shao greeted the servants beside him: "Go, go, bring a chair for the young master. We are not suspects. We are all sitting. What's the reason for letting others stand? If it spread, it would be considered an indictment." Sizhang Xianmingfang's power oppresses the common people, ruining the reputation of us people for nothing."

The servant next to him must also be a newcomer. Seeing him, he was so excited that he could hardly speak. After he stammered "Yes", he moved the only one in the hall for Zhou Lanmu. The empty chair—the one that originally belonged to Wu Shun.

Wu Shun watched him move his chair away, but he didn't dare to scold the servant in front of so many people, so he could only swallow his anger and laughed along with him: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding...If that's the case, why don't you invite this young master Tell us what you saw and heard that day."

Zhou Lanmu sat in his chair unceremoniously, leaned on the armrest of pear blossom wood and said with a smile: "It's easy to say... I came to Xianmingfang for a walk that day, but the road in the square was complicated, and I lost my way. Fortunately, I met General Shen A young man carrying water in the mansion...uh..."

He turned his head and looked at Xiao He, who was dressed in brown behind Shen Amber, and greeted him, so he said, "Xiao Tan who carries water! Xiao Brown is very kind-hearted, and said that he will lead me the way after carrying the water, so So I went to Chaozhong Well with him, I was bored watching Xiao Brown carrying water, but I accidentally found something else in the bucket he was carrying water..."

Wu Shunyan called for people to bring up the beads he caught that day, and Jin Mingjing looked at the beads in his hand without hesitation, and said after a while, "It's the red agate that Madam likes..."

"This agate bead is of very good quality, and no one is rich enough to throw it in the well for fun," Zhou Lanmu continued, "It just happened that it rained a few days ago, so I asked Xiao Brown to continue to fetch a bucket of water. No, the water smells like blood..."

Chu Shao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth, and said with a half-smile: "Why can't the person fetching water smell it, but you can smell it clearly?"
