Magic Stick Survival Rules[Comprehensive]
Chapter 6 Clues
Although the impression of Ling Qi has changed, Jin Jiuling still hasn't forgotten the real purpose of his trip - to investigate the robbery case of Zhenwei Escort.
During the meal, Jin Jiuling pretended to mention this matter unintentionally.
Hearing what Jin Jiuling said, Ling Qi immediately thought of the guy who smashed his stall that day, and couldn't help but shook his head, "There were two people who came to me for a fortune-telling before, presumably they were from the Zhenwei Escort Bureau. It's a bodyguard...it's a pity."
When the stall was smashed, Ling Qi was very angry at the time, but now that he heard the seriousness of the matter, he naturally wouldn't gloat.
"Oh? It turns out that the Daoist priest did a fortune-telling for them before?" Jin Jiuling asked knowingly while observing Ling Qi's expression: "This Jin can't figure it out. With the Taoist priest's ability, he should be able to figure out that something will happen to them, right?" ..."
"It was too dark at the time, so I couldn't see their faces clearly, so I took a test for them."
Ling Qi didn't realize Jin Jiuling's intentions, but just told the truth about what happened at that time, "...who knows that before I finished speaking, that person directly moved his hand, turned my back on me, and didn't say anything. If he wanted to use the saber, if the chivalrous man who was traveling with him hadn't stopped him in time, Brother Jin probably wouldn't be able to see me today."
Bringing up this matter again, Ling Qi still couldn't help showing a look of fear.
"Not long after I left the school, no one would have imagined that this kind of thing would happen to me. By the way, isn't brother Jin working in the imperial court? Those people in the world are so domineering, so the imperial court doesn't care about it?"
To tell the truth, he was very worried that he would encounter this kind of situation again in the next fortune-telling.
The last time was lucky, someone happened to be able to stop him, and if there was no such good luck next time, Ling Qi would have no doubt that he would be beaten violently, and even lost his life.
Alas, these days, even fortune-telling is in personal danger.
As soon as Ling Qi said this, the expression on Jin Jiuling's face suddenly became awkward.
It happens from time to time that people in the Jianghu willfully oppress the common people by force. As the chief arrester of the Six Gates, Jin Jiuling often receives complaints from the common people, but to be honest, this kind of situation is really difficult to deal with.
Although everyone said that the courts of the rivers and lakes do not interfere with each other, in fact——
People in the Jianghu basically regard the laws promulgated by the imperial court as nothing, and few people abide by them at all. Whenever there is a case of people in the Jianghu accidentally injuring the people, the imperial court can only arrest them and lock them up for a while, and then give some compensation to the victims , and then the case is understood.
But if the circumstances are more serious, if a murder case is caused, the death penalty should be imposed according to the law, but those people in the world don't care about this, and they come to escape from prison and rob the court at every turn, and the court can prevent it For a while, you can't prevent it for a lifetime.
You can't send troops to suppress every execution, right?
It's not practical at all.
Speaking of it, Jin Jiuling was able to become the chief arrester of the six sects so quickly because he had taken a fancy to his status as a disciple of the Shaolin layman.
Although Jin Jiuling is only a disciple of Shaolin layman, but his seniority is not low, the sects of the rivers and lakes will give him some face in view of Shaolin's face.
But in the long run, there are also many people in the rivers and lakes who harbor resentment towards Jin Jiuling, and call him a running dog of the imperial court behind his back... Jin Jiuling feels bitter when he thinks about it.
Seeing Jin Jiuling's appearance, Ling Qi couldn't say anything more, so he patted Jin Jiuling's shoulder sympathetically, "Brother Jin, you don't need to say anything, I understand."
In this kind of martial arts world, the imperial court is basically a background version, which is pitiful when you think about it.
Jin Jiuling smiled helplessly, raised his glass to thank Ling Qi.
After tea and dinner, Ling Qi helped Jin Jiuling look at other aspects of his face.
After receiving the 50 taels of silver, Ling Qi, who was in a good mood, decided to help Jin Jiuling, and it was considered as a reward for the big meal that the other party invited him to eat.
"Brother Jin's trip is probably to investigate the robbery of the bodyguard, right? I have a clue here, which may be of some help to your investigation."
Hearing this, Jin Jiuling looked at Ling Qi with both surprise and joy, "This is really great, I also ask the Taoist priest to inform Jin of the clues, so that Jin can solve the case as soon as possible, and have an explanation to the higher-ups."
"Ten years ago, a group of people stayed overnight in a ruined temple outside the town." Ling Qi lowered his voice and leaned into Jin Jiuling's ear and said, "All of these people covered their faces and did not wear swords, but But there is a box wrapped in black cloth around the waist."
box? !
Jin Jiuling's eyes lit up, and he immediately remembered the hidden weapons at the scene of the crime that were suspected to be rainstorm pear blossom needles.
"I'm ashamed to say that at that time I was short of money, so I had to go to the forest outside the town to pick wild fruits to satisfy my hunger. After picking the fruits and returning to the town, it was getting dark, so I wanted to spend the night in the temple... "
Although Ling Qi didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was clearly expressed.
When the group of people entered the ruined temple, they were bumped into by Ling Qi who had just finished picking the fruit. Ling Qi saw that group of people dressed up and felt that they were not good people, so he immediately hid them.
He didn't know martial arts, and he didn't dare to try to escape under the eyes of the group of people. He could only hide in the grass for one night, and he didn't dare to leave until the dawn of the next day when the group of people left.
Ten days ago, it was the day before Zhenwei Escort arrived in Ninghe Town.
The timing was right, and the clothes were roughly the same as the rumored dart robbers, so the identities of those people were clearly revealed.
Although there is a saying that the more you know, the sooner you will die, but as a good young man with a sense of justice, when encountering such a thing, Ling Qi naturally wants to stand up for justice.
After telling the clues he knew, Ling Qi waved to Jin Jiuling, "It's getting late, I should go back and continue doing business, Brother Jin, let's just leave now."
"Thank you, Daoist Jin, for being here." Jin Jiuling saluted Ling Qi solemnly, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, Daoist, Jin will definitely not reveal this matter, there is something important to do right now. Jin will not be too polite, and I will see you again when I have a chance in the future, and Jin will repay the chief for today's help!"
"Haha, good! See you later!"
Ling Qi smiled, turned around and left the restaurant.
Well, he has to go back and pack his things and prepare to run.
Anyway, the novice tasks have been completed, so it's meaningless to stay here, who knows if someone will find out that it was his tip-off, so just to be prudent, he'd better do business in another place.
Where should I go next...Jiangnan, or the capital?
With the key clue, Jin Jiuling gathered his men and rushed to the ruined temple that afternoon. Sure enough, in the ruined temple, Jin Jiuling found the traces left by the previous group and got another key clue.
This clue finally uncovered the fog behind the robbery case, allowing Jin Jiuling to solve the problem of the perpetrator's identity.
The same goal by different routes, Lu Xiaofeng who started the investigation from another clue happened to guess the identity of the perpetrator.
Three days later, Jin Jiuling and Lu Xiaofeng met in Jinan.
"Eh? Brother Jin, you're here too." Seeing Jin Jiuling, Lu Xiaofeng expressed a little surprise.
He heard that Jin Jiuling started from the Escort Bureau. Logically speaking, the progress of the investigation should be much slower than his side.
Seeing what Lu Xiaofeng meant, Jin Jiuling couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the other party indecently, "Could it be possible that you can find out here, but I can't?"
"Ahem, I didn't mean that, brother Jin, you're thinking too much." Lu Xiaofeng cheekily denied what he had just thought, and then moved to Jin Jiuling curiously, trying to find out how Jin Jiuling got here.
Jin Jiuling had a cold face and said he had no comment.
"Don't tell me, you tell me what you found, and I'll tell you what I found. Let's work together to solve this case faster, right?" Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and threw out Such a very tempting bait.
Jin Jiuling had always admired Lu Xiaofeng's speed in solving cases, and knew that Lu Xiaofeng must have very important clues in his hands. From the perspective of a public man, he certainly agreed with Lu Xiaofeng's proposal.
But when he thought of what he promised Ling Qi before...
"Could it be that brother Jin has some difficulties?" Seeing Jin Jiuling's entanglement, Lu Xiaofeng became more curious, and immediately patted his chest and said, "It's not that you don't know about my personality, Lu Xiaofeng, if there is anything that needs to be kept secret, just tell me, I will never tell the second person to know!"
Hearing this, Jin Jiuling frowned somewhat waveringly.
Of course he believes in Lu Xiaofeng's character...but...a gentleman keeps his word, since he has already promised Ling Qi, how can he not keep his word?
"Tsk, what time is it now? Solving the case is the most important thing. Can you stop being such a mother-in-law? If you're a man, just speak out!" Lu Xiaofeng decisively resorted to aggressive tactics.
Being so provoked, Jin Jiuling really took the bait and told Lu Xiaofeng how he found Ninghe Town and how he got the key clue from Ling Qi.
Lu Xiaofeng was also amazed after hearing the words, especially curious about the magic calculation that Jin Jiuling admired so much.
Secretly recorded Jin Jiuling's description in his heart, Lu Xiaofeng thought to himself, if there is a chance to meet in the future, he must ask the other party to help him figure it out.
At the same time, Lingqi, who just arrived in the south of the Yangtze River...
"Buy, buy, buy! This one looks good, and that one looks delicious too, buy it!"
"It feels different to have money in your pocket~"
"Hey, little green, come and help me find out which of these two has better and fresher fruits!"
System: "...QAQ host! That's not how people's identification function is used!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, I see there is a candied haws seller in front, help me to finish the selection, I'm going to buy candied haws!"
The system "...the fruit on the left is better."
"Little green is so good, okay?"
System: "Wow!"
During the meal, Jin Jiuling pretended to mention this matter unintentionally.
Hearing what Jin Jiuling said, Ling Qi immediately thought of the guy who smashed his stall that day, and couldn't help but shook his head, "There were two people who came to me for a fortune-telling before, presumably they were from the Zhenwei Escort Bureau. It's a bodyguard...it's a pity."
