I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Unexpectedly, Han Qi, who looked thin and thin, had brute force. After pulling her down to the ground, he was only a sideways buffer, still maintaining a standing posture.

Wang Zhao immediately led his men, raised his knife and traced in the direction of the arrow.Later, it was discovered that there was a crossbow-like device on the big tree obliquely behind the thatched shed. After careful inspection, it was found that there were three such devices in three different directions.The rope of the trigger device was hidden in a hidden place near the grass shed. They should have touched it by accident when they were searching just now, but they didn't notice it.

"Miss Cui, is everything okay?" Li Yuan ran here with two yamen servants, asking about Cui Tao's situation.

Cui Tao was about to speak when she suddenly felt a bit slippery under her left hand...

At this time, a big flower snake with dark brown head and back was three feet away from Cui Tao, suddenly raised its head high, and spit a message to Cui Tao.

One person and one snake looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Ah! Snake!" Cui Tao screamed.

Li Yuan hurriedly ran to this side at a faster speed, but he knew that he should be too late.

Han Qi was closer to Cui Tao, so he drew his sword immediately, but the distance between the snake and Cui Tao was too close, and he might not be able to make it in time.

"It's so cute." A sweet female voice.

When everyone took a closer look, Cui Tao was already sitting cross-legged on the floor, holding the snake's neck with one hand and the snake's body with the other.

Poor this poisonous snake with a full body flower tattoo that is half a foot long and is quite famous in the local area - Flying on the Grass. At this moment, he can only open his mouth ferociously, face Cui Tao without any resistance, and is forced to praise his cuteness.

Cui Tao also turned the snake's belly upside down, touched its gray-white belly, and regretfully felt that it was a female snake, pregnant with a child.

The next moment, Cui Tao shook his hand violently, and threw the snake onto a rock not far away.After the snake was hit hard, it struggled on the ground and turned around in circles, then it remained motionless.

Li Yuan and others: "..."

Afterwards, Wang Zhao and others who came over were even more confused, and asked Li Yuan blankly: "What happened?"

"Uh..." Li Yuan tried his best to speak, "The snake wanted to bite Mrs. Cui, so she killed it. Killing... well! Otherwise, I don't know how many people will be killed by this disaster!"

Han Qi withdrew his sword silently, he didn't know whether he should be surprised by the scene he saw just now.

Cui Tao patted the ashes on her body, got up lively, and came to Han Qi in surprise, thanked him first, and then asked him: "Didn't you say you don't know martial arts, but just now, looking at Han Tuiguan, you seem to be very good at it?"

"I understand." Han Qi said.

Cui Tao: "..."

Co-authored and quarreled for a long time, you are playing modesty!

"Then to what extent is Han Tuiguan's martial arts, how is it compared with Wang Xunshi?" Cui Tao wanted to know more about the news to be prepared, and by the way, he wanted to calculate how likely he was to escape under Han Qi's nose.

Han Qi raised his eyebrows and met Cui Tao's smiling eyes, as if he had seen through Cui Tao's intentions.

"If you want to leave, you can leave now."

"Ahaha, I'm just curious, I don't want to leave." Cui Tao smiled, "I'm still waiting for the official Han Tui to pay for my daily meals."

If she leaves now, apart from being wanted by the Kaifeng Mansion, the Cui family probably won't let her go.Besides, her portraits are now hung all over Tokyo, so it's not easy for her to run.Compared to hiding and sleeping in the open, it is naturally better to sit in prison and have good food.After all, she has now found the murderer of the serial murder case, and she can order food every day.

Besides, the accommodation conditions are not without opportunities to improve.

"It's good if you know." Han Qi responded lightly, then turned around and ordered the yamen servant to go back to Kaifeng Mansion immediately to send people, and search for Li San with all his strength.

"Li San?" Wang Zhao reacted for a while, and then remembered that someone named Li San had something to do with the case.

The No.4 victim was found in a haystack in Dongdajie Alley, and the haystack belonged to a resident named Li San.According to neighbor Lin Mang, this Li San rented a haunted house in the alley from the shop housekeeper, and has not seen anyone for more than ten days now.

After careful calculation, the first victim appeared more than ten days ago.

From the point of view of time, the time when Li San's 'disappearance' did coincide with the time when the victim first appeared.But why did he abandon victim No.4 in his haystack?Doesn't this increase his risk of exposure?

"By the way, my subordinate once heard people in the alley mention that this Li San was originally a carpenter, but now he seems to have quit. He has taken a new job, and his food and lodging are all with his employer, so he doesn't see people often."

Li Yuan looked at the crossbow that had been dismantled on the ground, and felt more and more that Li San was the murderer.

"But Mrs. Cui didn't know this, so how did she figure out that the murderer is most likely Li San with just a bloody coat?"

Li Yuan was still puzzled after seeing the embroidered characters 'Futianyuan' on the bloody clothes.

"Although Li San is a customer of Fang Guo now, he was a refugee of Fang Guo before. Where do the refugees live? Futian Courtyard."

Cui Tao looked at where the thatched shed was.

"Looking at the shape of this hut, it looks like the haystack in the alley. As I said before, the murderer must have had a special purpose in choosing the haystack in the alley to abandon the corpse. Now it seems that Li San had a purpose from the beginning when he rented that house. But his purpose should not have been achieved, and then he was stimulated by something, and started to vent his anger and kill people."

Li Yuan, Wang Zhao and others felt that Cui Tao's deduction was reasonable before, but they didn't understand where the reason came from.Listening to it now, they still feel the same way, but they believe in Cui Tao's deduction more than before, because Cui Tao's deduction is being confirmed step by step.

When going down the mountain, Cui Tao walked very fast.She suddenly remembered something, and said to Han Qi: "Li San has horses, and as a customer of Fang Guo, he can never afford horses."

Wang Zhao was just behind Han Qi, and said with a smile, "Officer Han has already thought of this point, and I just explained it."

"That's good." Cui Tao smiled, and continued to rush down the mountain with big strides.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and there are many stones and weeds.Cui Tao didn't go very far, when she stumbled, almost tilted her body, and rolled down the side ravine.

Han Qi raised his hand and grabbed Cui Tao's back collar, finally curbing the danger.

"Calm down, what's the rush?" Han Qi scolded, frowning.

"I'm thinking that there may be Li San's old friend in the alley, and the haystack female corpse may be for his old friend to see. So I want to go back to the mortuary as soon as possible, and want to see the bodies of the first two victims."

Cui Tao's eyes exude a bright light, she often has this kind of look when talking about food, now there is no roasted duck or roasted chicken in front of her, but she can see this light, you know her There must be something new to discover.

"Then you should keep your feet steady. If you fall, you won't be looking at the corpse, but you will become a corpse."

Cui Tao followed Han Qi's gaze and looked into the ditch. Good guy, there are several grasses flying up and down the ditch, intertwined and wriggling, as if they are busy breeding the next generation.Snakes in the breeding season are generally very aggressive. A snake can be regarded as a "cute" to Cui Tao, but there are too many of them, but with only two hands and two legs, she must not be able to handle it.

"This isn't a mine, it's Snake Mountain." Cui Tao backed away silently, deciding to follow Han Qi.

Wang Zhao laughed, "Don't mention it, this mountain is actually called Snake Mountain."

"Don't tell me sooner." Cui Tao muttered, "These snakes are so scary, if I tell you sooner, I can make more preparations."

Wang Zhao: "..."

I didn't know who it was just now, who caught and killed snakes without blinking their eyes?

If he hadn't seen the scene just now with his own eyes, Wang Zhao might have been deceived by Cui Tao's pitiful appearance at this moment, thinking that she was just an ordinary weak little girl.

After the group returned to Kaifeng Mansion, Cui Tao immediately dismounted and ran to the morgue.

Wang Zhao, Li Yuan and others watched Cui Tao go away with very complicated eyes.

"She really came from the Cui family in Boling?" Li Yuan looked in disbelief.

"Since the governor of Shenzhou dared to come to confirm it, it must be right. Official Han Tui has ordered people to investigate in Anping, and we can fully confirm it tomorrow." Wang Zhao said.

Li Yuan: "It is absolutely impossible for a daughter of a prominent family to be taught to kill snakes, solve crimes, conduct autopsies, and detoxify... Then what happened to her in the past three years since she ran away from home?"

Wang Zhao shook his head, this is probably something everyone is curious about.

Li Yuan couldn't help feeling sorry for Cui Tao.In the past ten years, he has only learned one kung fu, and he feels miserable.Cui Tao learned so many things in just three years, how much did she suffer?

Cui Tao only stayed in the morgue for a while, and then took four hand-painted drawings by himself, which were eyes, nose, mouth, face outline and a mole.

Cui Tao put the four pieces of paper together and held them up in the sunlight for Han Qi and the others to see.

"This seems to be..." Li Yuan opened his eyes wide, "Lin Mang's wife!"

"It looks a bit like her. I remember she has a mole around her mouth." Wang Zhao recalled.

The No. 1 victim with a mole on the corner of her mouth has a slight resemblance to Lin Mang's wife in outline, but her facial features are completely different.

In fact, in detail, the appearance of the four victims and Lin Mang's wife is very different.Lin Mang's wife didn't look good, her skin was rough and she was getting old.The four victims were all young women waiting to be married. Not only were they younger and their skin was better, they were also prettier. They were all of average or above average appearance.This makes it difficult for people to associate the four of them with Lin Mang's wife.

Wang Zhao then went to Lin Mang's house, intending to bring his wife, Mrs. Zheng, back to Kaifeng Mansion.

After arriving, he saw Lin Mang anxious at home.

"Today, she went to Ping'an Temple to offer incense with Mrs. Sun next door, but after entering the temple to offer incense, Mrs. Sun couldn't find her. After waiting for a while, she thought she had come back first, but when she came back, she found that she was not there."

Lin Mang told Wang Zhao that he went to Ping'an Temple again and asked the presiding master for help. He searched inside and outside Ping'an Temple, but he still couldn't find Mrs. Zheng.Later, he went to the homes of several acquainted relatives and friends to ask, but no one had seen Mrs. Zheng.

"At this moment, I was thinking about whether to report to the police, when I saw Inspector Wang coming. I beg Inspector Wang, please help me find her!" Lin Mang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Wang Zhao had no choice but to quickly report the situation to Han Qi.

The yamen servant who was in charge of chasing Li San also rushed back at this time, and reported to Han Qi: "Li San is now doing odd jobs at a racecourse outside Beijing. reported to the officer."

"Could it be that Li Sanqiang abducted Mrs. Zheng and eloped?" Li Yuan asked in surprise.

Cui Tao was sitting beside her, she shook her head when she heard the words, and started to drink tea.

Han Qi noticed Cui Tao's strange behavior, and knew that she knew it well, "You are leisurely."

"This is the case of Han Tuiguan, not mine. I have completed the task now, and I have told Han Tuiguan who the murderer is. Naturally, I am leisurely." Cui Tao said with a relaxed expression, holding her chin.

"You don't feel sorry for Mrs. Zheng's life?" Han Qi asked.

"Then who takes pity on my life?" Cui Tao asked back.

Han Qi understood that Cui Tao wanted to negotiate terms, so he chuckled lightly, "How would you know this case wouldn't be solved without you."

"Actually, the case has been solved. Now it depends on whether the hostage is dead or alive. It doesn't matter if Han is dead or not. If he is alive, then..." Cui Tao stopped talking.

She could see that Han Qi's structure was never small, but he must understand the principle of seeing the big from the small, better than anyone else.

"Say."

"I want to change to a more comfortable room. I can usually move around in the yard. It is best to have a small kitchen where I can cook. If my case involves capital crimes in the future, I hope that my current meritorious service will be reduced as appropriate and I will not be punished." Die." Cui Tao immediately put forward his own conditions.
