ancient criminal minds

The catcher was in a hurry to bring him back and return to his command, he just bowed hands with Lu Zheng and left.

Lu Zheng thinks this catcher is quite interesting, whoever said that the ancients had a rigid mind, this catcher obviously has a very active mind, and the scene he co-acted with him just now has attracted many people.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Ah Fu said to Lu Zheng: "Master, why don't you find a place to eat first."

Lu Zheng rubbed his stomach and felt that he was indeed hungry.

Ah Fu led him to a restaurant not far from Dongshi. Although this restaurant looked a little old, it was well-known in Yanjing City. It was time for dinner, and the restaurant was already full of people.Ah Fu gave Xiaoer a silver coin and asked for a box upstairs.

Lu Zheng followed the little girl and walked over. The stairs on the second floor were a bit narrow, and a man with his head bowed walked towards him. He was tall but very thin. When he stood on the stairs, he looked like a thin man. green bamboo.Lu Zheng was about to turn sideways to give way to him, but suddenly he looked up and said his name accurately: "Lu Zheng."

Lu Zheng was taken aback.

He was still searching for the identity of this person in his mind, but the other person had already passed his body and went downstairs.

Lu Zheng was still in the same place, as if he remembered something after a long time, he asked Ah Fu: "Who is he?"

Ah Fu frowned: "This is the only son of Marquis Decheng, how could he recognize the young master?"

After listening to Ah Fu's introduction, Lu Zheng suddenly understood.

Marquis Decheng was just a foreign relative in the first dynasty, and his family foundation was limited, so he didn't dare to argue for merits in the court, but instead found another way to develop in business.Although the businessman's status was very low, he couldn't bear the fact that the Marquis Mansion of Decheng was too rich and very knowledgeable about current affairs, so after a few generations, the prestigious Duke's mansion was turned into a passing cloud, but the Marquis Mansion was still standing firmly. In the capital.

Almost all high-ranking officials in the court came from famous families, no matter how poor they were, they were heirs of poetry and etiquette, and they didn't look down on Decheng Hou who smelled like copper. Therefore, Decheng Hou's mansion was not near the imperial city, but in the Close to the inner city gate.

The current Marquis of Decheng has given birth to more than a dozen daughters in a row, and finally gave birth to a son, who is still a concubine.The other party was born in a poor background, so it was impossible to play with Lu Zheng and the others. No wonder Yuanshen didn't recognize him, but I don't know how he did. His tone didn't sound like a casual acquaintance.

Lu Zheng became curious, so he asked Ah Fu to go up and wait for the food alone, but he followed Jian Yu secretly. Fortunately, Jian Yu was not walking fast, and he stopped and walked along the way to buy some things, which made Lu Zheng not follow. lose him.

When he walked into a small alley, his footsteps suddenly accelerated, and Lu Zheng ran after him in a hurry.It was only when I got to the front that I realized that there was no shadow in the alley at all.Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and hurried out, this is a dead end, why did Jian Yu disappear?

"Are you looking for me?" A cold voice came from behind him.

Lu Zheng was startled, turned around quickly, and saw Jian Yu's figure slowly approaching him against the light. His figure was thin and thin, but it implied oppression.

Lu Zheng took two steps back in a panic, but he didn't expect to step on a small stone and fall to the ground.

Jian Yu was not walking forward, but from this angle, Lu Zheng could see his appearance clearly.Jian Yu has fair skin, deep and delicate features, and a beauty of ambiguous gender. With such a gorgeous appearance, his expression is extremely indifferent, like an unsheathed knife, suppressing the surging hostility and bloodthirsty.

Jian Yu looked at Lu Zheng firmly: "Stop following me."

Although he said this, there was no killing intent in his tone. Lu Zheng's fear disappeared a lot. He just sat on the ground and looked up at Jian Yu: "How do you know me?"

Jian Yu looked down at the boy, his face was the same as in his memory, he used to sit on the ground like this and raised his curious eyes and asked him: "How do you know me?"

Jian Yu lowered his eyes to cover his own, and said coldly: "The third young master of the British government, who in this city of Yanjing doesn't recognize him?"

Lu Zheng's intuition was not the case, but Jian Yu turned around and left without hesitation.

Lu Zheng couldn't help thinking in his heart, did the original owner offend him but forgot?Thinking of his oppressive figure just now, my heart skipped a beat, and I didn't dare to chase after him.

After eating outside, Lu Zheng took Ah Fu back leisurely, and as soon as he returned to Zhuqin Residence, he saw Ji Xiang and a few little girls cleaning up the tea on the table with a bitter face.

There are not many people who really made friends with the original owner, so Lu Zheng couldn't imagine who would come to visit him, so he asked Ji Xiang curiously: "Who came just now?"

When Ji Xiang saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly put down the teacup in his hand: "It's the young master."

"Who?!!"

Ji Xiang showed a pitiful expression: "Third Young Master, Eldest Young Master has been waiting for you here for a long time, and told you to go to Feihong Courtyard to find him immediately after you come back."

Lu Zheng's eyes widened: "Brother has you been here?" He saw the teacup behind Ji Xiang, and quickly reached out to touch it. The teacup was cold, and Lu Zheng shivered.In the British government, who dares to drink cold tea for the young master of the Lu family?Unless he ordered it himself.

Lu Che waited until the tea was cold in his Zhuqin residence before leaving, and even asked him to go to him when he came back. In this era where elder brothers are like fathers, this is a great disrespect. It is only natural for Lu Che to teach him a lesson.

With a mournful face, Lu Che asked without hope, "Did brother say he came to see me for something?"

Ji Xiang shook his head: "Master, you should hurry up, don't make the young master more angry."

Lu Che sighed, and could only go to Feihong Yard depressed, praying in his heart that his sister-in-law and little niece would be here just now, and the eldest brother would not be too harsh on him.

However, Lu Zheng's luck was really bad, Mrs. Pei and Lu Zhiyuan did come back, but Mrs. Pei caught cold outside, and Mrs. Pei was taking her to rest in the inner courtyard, so she didn't have time to rescue the poor him.

Lu Zheng could only stand obediently in front of his elder brother, listening to his calm voice preaching to him for an entire hour.

Lu Che took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and saw his younger brother raised his head pitifully: "Brother..."

Lu Che paused while drinking tea, and his eyes were in a trance for a moment. When Lu Zheng was young, his mother was injured after giving birth, and his father was away guarding one side. He was adopted by his grandmother. Every time Lu Che went to Fushou Hall, He also looked at himself so pitifully, begging himself to take him out to play.

Probably recalling the past, Lu Che's eyes softened a lot. Looking at his listless younger brother, he said in a slow tone, "Go back and rest early, you still have to study tomorrow."

"Eh?"

Lu Zheng thought there was an even bigger storm, but he was almost knocked out by this surprise. Although he didn't know why his elder brother suddenly decided to let him go, he still responded happily and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Lu Che said suddenly.

"Brother... is there anything else?"

Lu Che gently stroked the wall of the cup with his fingers, and under Lu Zheng's frightened gaze, he let out a soft sigh: "It's nothing, you can go back."

... This kind of half-talking is the most annoying.

But Lu Zheng didn't dare to challenge his elder brother's authority, he agreed honestly and left quickly.

After returning to Zhuqin Residence, eating the snacks and fragrant tea offered by Jixiang, Lu Zheng felt that he was alive again. He glanced around and found that there were only Jixiang and a few little maids, and he did not see Jin Lu, just remembered something: "Hasn't Jinlu come back yet?"

Ji Xiang shook her head sadly: "Not yet, the servant went to visit her earlier and found that she was in good health, but her spirit seemed to be poor, and she probably won't be able to come back in a while."

Lu Zheng rubbed his nose, feeling a little guilty in his heart, he didn't expect women in ancient times to be so timid, probably someone as courageous as Ji Xiang is an outlier.

Thinking of this, he recalled the case he saw earlier, and quickly asked Ji Xiang: "By the way, what happened to the case on Baiquan Mountain?"

Ji Xiang opened his eyes wide: "Young master, this slave is just about to talk to you."

"Speak quickly." Lu Zheng became interested, but he looked around at the little maids, worried that they would be frightened again, so he quickly waved them down, then lowered his voice and asked Ji Xiang, "Now we can talk."

Ji Xiang was also infected by him, lowered his voice, and said with a serious expression: "When I went to the street earlier, I heard people say that this ghost is terrible, and it actually killed another person!"

"Ah?" Lu Zheng didn't expect that this case was not solved, but another case was added.

"I heard that the one who died this time was a little nun from Shuimiao Temple. When she was found, the ground of the Buddhist hall was stained red with blood. It is said that the Buddha committed a crime." Ji Xiang paused, "It's spread outside There was an uproar, saying that this little nun was condemned by the Buddha because she did not obey the precepts, and others said that it was..."

What Ji Xiang said was vague, but Lu Zheng understood that it was nothing more than bringing this matter up to the monarchy. It would be fine if it was just an ordinary criminal case, but it would be troublesome if partisan disputes were involved. This case It was his elder brother who tried it. No matter what the final result is, I'm afraid he will offend a group of people.

Lu Zheng was not very clear about the twists and turns, but he immediately became interested in the case that Ji Xiang was talking about, but he didn't know much about it, and most of it was just rumors in the market, which made Lu Zheng a little disappointed .

The autopsy and trace examination in this era are very rough. For these bizarre cases, most of them are pushed to ghosts and gods. Lu Zheng is a bit eager for skills, but he lacks confidence. After all, he is just a student of criminal psychology who has not graduated. What role does it play in this case?

Although Lu Zheng thought so, he had unconsciously walked to Feihong Courtyard. When he was approaching his eldest brother's study, he suddenly realized that there was no servant guarding the huge courtyard, and the door of the study was tightly closed.According to his many years of experience watching costume dramas, this is probably plotting something, Lu Zheng didn't want to get involved, so he turned around and left, but suddenly heard his father's roar coming from inside.

"Rong Nineteen is really deceiving people too much!"

Lu Zheng made a wrong step and bumped his head on the rockery beside him, and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
