I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

But what can be tempted to represent?A gangster saw a beautiful woman from a good family on the street, was tempted, and wanted to molest him.A child saw a beautiful kitten, was tempted, and wanted to keep it.Fascination is very common in the emotional world of people. It is simple and short-lived. The key depends on what will be transformed into this fascination.

Cui Tao has seen too many passionate and beautiful feelings at the beginning, but after time, they turned into consuming each other, and finally ended in betrayal, mutual slander, and dislike of each other.

Is this unusual?Is this wrong?Not counting, but this is a normal situation, because it is human nature to like the new and dislike the old.

The reason why unswerving true love has been praised by people is that it is so rare that it is particularly valuable.This kind of feeling doesn't just happen when you meet a good person.The two parties have to go through the tests of personality friction, collision of three views, integration of living habits, and facing the temptation of foreign emotions.This is a long process that takes time to experience and test.

In the ancient times when patriarchal thinking was deeply rooted, it can be said that it is very slim to seek a true relationship of mutual loyalty.In this era, even if most men are thinking about you, they don’t think it’s a mistake to sleep in Liu Mianhua or sleeping with concubines. The traditional cognition in their bones is not so easy to change.

Of course, I happened to meet a suitable candidate with potential, and Cui Tao would not give up trying, and would try to cultivate it.If the follow-up development just meets the requirements, then both parties will be happy.If not, then Han Qi could only be considered unlucky, she would immediately withdraw and become the person Han Qi couldn't wish for.

……

Two days later, there was still no news about Yuan Feng's head in Kaifeng Mansion.

"The murderer may have buried his head or thrown it into the river." In order to find the head these days, Wang Zhao and the people who patrolled the shop have made a lot of trouble.

"Since the other parts of the body have been thrown into the city, why do you have to deal with the head alone?" Li Cai asked puzzled.

Wang Zhao immediately said: "This is very easy to explain. The purpose of the murderer's hiding the head must be to prevent everyone from seeing the face of the deceased, so as to achieve the purpose of hiding the identity of the deceased. But he never expected that, because we saw Once you have a tattoo, you can recognize it at a glance."

Cui Tao shook her head and disagreed with Wang Zhao's statement.

If the murderer really wanted to hide the identity of the deceased, why would he dare to throw the dismembered body parts in the city to attract attention?Why not just dispose of the body and the head together?When Yuan Feng was caught under the list, the murderer must be there, otherwise he would not have learned of Yuan Feng's lies so quickly, and then pretended to be Ouyang Xiu and went to Wan Shilang's mansion and Qin Hou Ye's mansion to spread the news.

Since he was there at the time, he must have seen the tattoo on Yuan Feng's left arm exposed when they were tearing.

In fact, even if they couldn't recognize the tattoos, Yuan Feng had been missing for a long time, and Ouyang Xiu, who shared his room with him, would definitely report to the police, and he would also describe the characteristics of Yuan Feng's tattoos.

After Cui Tao analyzed it with everyone, he concluded: "The murderer had cleaned the corpse, so there is no such thing as the murderer not noticing the tattoo on Yuan Feng's body.

If the murderer intends to hide the identity of the deceased, first, he should not throw the corpse at will, because without the corpse, Yuan Feng's death cannot be confirmed; second, he should not leave tattoos when throwing the corpse, so that the identity of the deceased can be easily identified. ".

Wang Zhao and others thought about it, and they all felt that what Cui Tao said was reasonable.

"Throwing the corpse in the city, acting arrogantly, despising the government."

Han Qi lamented that the murderer didn't pay attention to the court's laws and Kaifeng Mansion at all.At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the root of the imperial city is underground, not to mention the wanton throwing away of his body, he even dared to pretend to be another Jinshi to file a complaint at the mansion of two nobles, which can be described as unscrupulous and extremely arrogant.

Wang Zhao and others then nodded and agreed with Han Qi's words.

"Since the murderer is so rampant, and it doesn't matter whether the identity of the deceased is discovered, it stands to reason that the head should be thrown on the street like other parts of the body. But we have searched for so long, why haven't we found it?" Wang Zhao rubbed Jaw is puzzled.

Li Cai thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had suddenly discovered a big truth, "The head is round after all, could it have rolled into some corner, and we didn't notice it?"

Everyone: "..."

"The head is not too small. If it is also thrown in the market, it should be easy to find. Since it has not been found yet, I am more inclined to think that the murderer left the head." Cui Tao said.

"Why?" Wang Zhao became more and more puzzled, "Didn't the murderer intend to hide the identity of the deceased? Then why did he keep the head of the deceased?"

"Then think about it, apart from the possibility of hiding the identity of the deceased, what's the use of killing the dead?" Han Qi reminded Wang Zhao.

After Wang Zhao frowned and thought for a moment, he suddenly realized: "A job! For example, hire a murderer to kill someone. If the employer wants to confirm whether the other party has really killed the person, he may ask him to prove it. Vendetta! In order to pay homage, take the head of the enemy. to pay homage to the dead."

"Not bad." Han Qi affirmed Wang Zhao's analysis, and then asked Cui Tao which one he preferred.

"The murderer is proficient in dismembering the corpse, and the behavior of throwing the corpse is arrogant. It doesn't seem like the first time to kill someone. He knew that Yuan Feng was not engaged. The Hou Mansion filed a complaint. It can be seen that the murderer has been monitoring Yuan Feng for a long time and has planned for a long time. The reason why he chose to kill Yuan Feng after the announcement day is probably not a coincidence. Regardless of whether it involves hiring a murderer, there must be an element of revenge in it."

Just imagine what could be worse than 'trying hard to nothing'?

If it was a hired murderer, it was because the employer deliberately asked the killer to kill and retaliate in this way for revenge.If it's not hiring a murderer, it's the murderer's own murder revenge.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, the murderer's way of revenge was too vicious.

"Then who has such a big enmity with Yuan Feng, who is so ruthless that he must die like this, and his head should be sacrificed?" Wang Zhao asked in amazement.

"Yuan Feng is just a scholar. Most of the scholars who are running for scientific examinations are focused on studying hard behind closed doors, and rarely get involved in foreign affairs. The people he makes friends with should all be educated scholars. According to Ouyang Xiu, he has a reserved personality. , will rarely offend people, and will only have a temper when he is in a hurry. If the murderer in this case kept his head as a memorial, it would look more like a grudge from the previous generation."

Han Qi sent Zhang Chang to invite Ouyang Xiu.Now in Bianjing city, he is the only one who knows about Yuan Feng's past, if not, he will send someone to Suizhou.

Cui Tao hurriedly praised Han Qi's analysis just now for being well-founded and wise.

Hearing that Cui Tao deliberately praised him like this, Han Qi glanced at her, but he didn't seem very happy.Cui Tao specially served tea to Han Qi again, and when Han Qi looked towards her, she specially smiled at Han Qi.

Han Qi lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup on the table, calmly raised the corners of his mouth, and took a sip.

At this time, Wang Siniang brought Guanghan Cake.Before Cui Tao came, she made a batch of dim sum and baked them in the oven. Wang Siniang was in charge of watching the fire, and when the time was over, she took out the dim sum and brought them over.

Wang Siniang was afraid that Han Qi could not control her eyes, so she just sent it to the door, and Cui Tao came to take it away.When Cui Tao brought two plates of fragrant Guanghan Cake into the room, everyone who was worried about the case flattened their brows, and all eyes and attention were attracted by this dessert.

Han Qi asked everyone to rest for a while.

Everyone understood that Han Tuiguan was giving them time to taste dim sum, so they couldn't delay, so they hurried over and each took two pieces of Guanghan cake to taste.

This Guanghan cake is the best seller in the market every year of the imperial examination. Anyone who has an exam must buy it, and scholars who are going to take the exam must also eat it.Because the main ingredients are sweet-scented osmanthus and rice pounding powder, the ingredients are osmanthus, and the name "Guanghan" is specially named, which means that the toad palace wins laurel. Candidates eat it for auspiciousness, which has a good meaning.

But the Guanghan cakes on the market outside are all white and neatly made into square blocks.Cui Niangzi's Guanghan Cake is different. It is flower-shaped, rouge-colored, with five petals. The center of the flower is yellow, and there are a few white sesame seeds dotted on it. At first glance, it looks like a real flower.Although it smells like rice and sweet-scented osmanthus, when you eat it, you find that there are not only these two flavors, but also a sweet and sour fruity smell.

"How does Mrs. Cui make this dim sum so beautiful?" Wang Zhao and others couldn't help wondering why the dim sum was rouge-colored.

"After the hawthorn is boiled, filter and retain the juice."

"Then what is the yellow color of the flower core?" Li Cai didn't know how to cook, he only thought that this dim sum was better than peach blossoms, if it wasn't for everyone's competition, he would not be able to eat it if he didn't eat it, so he was not willing to eat it.

"Egg yolk, order it. Listening to this question, you will know that you never cook, and it doesn't make any sense." Cui Tao suggested that Li Cai go back and learn, and then make dim sum to honor his old mother, which will definitely let her The old man lost his teeth happily.

Li Cai scratched his head, "She has no teeth."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Cui Tao then told Li Cai that he would teach him how to make custard to honor him.

Li Cai quickly agreed and thanked Cui Tao.

Because there are not too few people in the room, if you don’t get two yuan for dim sum in advance, everyone will definitely snatch it away.Cui Tao saved three pieces of Guanghan Cake and sent them to Han Qi.Now she saw Han Qi tasting it, and saw that everyone was joking with Li Cai, but no one noticed, so Cui Tao came up to Han Qi and asked him in a low voice how he thought the taste was.

"Yeah." Because there was something in his mouth, Han Qi had the habit of not saying anything, so he didn't say anything more.

"I don't know if Han Tuiguan had eaten this Guanghan cake during the scientific examination? It doesn't matter, anyway, no matter whether he has eaten it or not, he must have never eaten my cooking, so I will make up for it." Cui Tao playfully After finishing speaking, he turned around and continued chatting with Wang Zhao and the others.

Han Qi looked up at Cui Tao's back, then silently looked at her smiling face talking to Wang Zhao and the others, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and then he swallowed the snack in his mouth.Afterwards, he put the Guanghan Cake with only one bite in his hand back on the plate.

After everyone tasted the snacks, they got together again to continue analyzing the case.

"There is also a very important point that cannot be ignored. Why did the murderer pretend to be Ouyang Xiu, and deliberately tell people in Wanshilang's House and Qinhou's House that Yuan Feng lied?" Cui Tao said.

"This is easy to explain!" Li Cai hurriedly showed himself in front of his master, "The murderer is deliberately creating suspicions that the two governments murdered Yuan Feng, so as to divert the attention of the government's investigation."

"No," Wang Zhao shook his head, "I thought so before, but now that there is a new explanation for the fact that the head can't be found, I find that it doesn't seem to be the case. The murderer threw the body so blatantly, so I'm not afraid that the government will find out How can you bother to transfer suspicion when the corpse comes to investigate him?"

"It makes sense." Li Cai was puzzled, "Then why did he do this?"

"The weather is right, the location is right, and the people are there."

Han Qi's answer was so concise that most people in the room couldn't understand it, so everyone looked at Cui Tao at the same time, expecting her to explain.

"If the murderer intentionally chooses to kill Yuan Feng after releasing the list, he needs the right timing to kill Yuan Feng. He can't directly knock down Yuan Feng at Erniang Yang's house where there are many guests, and then blatantly carry him away. It's too easy to expose. He needs A suitable place and time to commit the crime, a secluded street, in the dead of night, is very suitable. Such a stunned or killed dead person is not easy to be discovered, and it is also convenient for him to transfer the body."

Everyone suddenly realized.

From this, Fang Zhi can deduce that the deceased Yuan Feng was likely to be killed by the murderer on his way back to Yang Erniang's house after leaving Qinhou's Mansion.

Wang Zhao immediately sent people to investigate all feasible routes from Qinhou's Mansion to Yang Erniang's house along the way, and analyzed and searched for the most suitable location for the murderer to commit the crime, in order to find some clues to support their inference.

At this time, Ouyang Xiu was invited to Kaifeng Mansion.

As expected, the situation was as Han Qi analyzed before. The deceased Yuan Feng was reserved and rarely caused troubles, and the people he interacted with on weekdays were all scholars who were studying together.As for the situation of Yuan Feng's family, Ouyang Xiu said that the ancestors of the Yuan family used to be prominent for a while. It's a withered human being, only he and Yuan Feng and his son depend on each other for life.

"His mother was ill for a long time after giving birth to him. His father borrowed a lot of money to treat her illness, but he still failed to keep her. At that time, the family was destitute, life was difficult, and there were debt collectors. He often came to the door. Later, he got help from his friends, and the father and son were able to tide over the difficulties. After that, the life gradually improved, and he could barely support him to study."

Ouyang Xiu said that the situation of Yuan Feng's family was better than his family's.His family couldn't even afford pens and paper, and even Yuan Feng's family could afford books, so they didn't have to use handwritten copies.

"Back then when they were so poor, I wonder which friend would lend them the money, so don't you worry that their father and son will not be able to pay?" Cui Tao questioned.

"I don't know, I just heard Yuan Feng mention it."

Han Qi asked Ouyang Xiu if he knew the meaning of the butterfly on Yuan Feng's arm, and why Yuan's parents and grandson wanted to tattoo this design.

"There are some stories about this. The ancestors of their Yuan family, it is said that they saved their lives and made a fortune by relying on butterflies. The ancestors of the Yuan family believed that butterflies were the guardian gods of their Yuan family, so they had It is a rule that the sons and daughters of the eldest family must tattoo butterflies."

Ouyang Xiu said that what he learned was all told to him by Yuan Feng himself.Because I think it is fresh and strange, I remember it very clearly, so there is no mistake.

"Butterfly saves lives, but can still make a fortune?" Li Cai stared blankly, "This is really new, unheard of. So how can a little insect save people? How can it make a fortune? Could it be that a butterfly can become a golden butterfly? ?”

Ouyang Xiu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.He also asked Yuan Feng curiously, but Yuan Feng shook his head and said he didn't know either.

Cui Tao said to Han Qi: "It seems that we really need to send someone to Suizhou."

Han Qi arranged for someone to leave immediately, and asked him to find Yuan Feng's father to find out what happened back then, who was the friend who helped him back then, and who the Yuan family ancestor had had grievances with until now.

"However, I have to stay in Beijing to stand by, otherwise I really want to go back and greet the old man personally." Ouyang Xiu said sadly.

The yamen officer in charge of investigating the route of the murder came back and said that they seemed to have found bloodstains on a rammed earth wall in Lanhua Lane.

Cui Tao immediately went to check and found that there was indeed a splash of blood on the rammed earth wall. After two days, the circular blood spots of different sizes had turned black.The lowest height of the bloodstain was just three inches above her head.Cui Tao had measured the headless Yuan Feng's body length, and if he roughly calculated the height of Yuan Feng's head, this bloodstain was just in line with the situation where Yuan Feng was attacked on the back of the head.

The deceased Yuan Feng left from Qinhou's mansion around the time of the night, and it took him at most two sticks of incense to walk to Lanhua Lane.In other words, the deceased was attacked around the second quarter of the ugly hour.

Ordinary blunt instruments such as wooden sticks to attack the head will generally not cause such blood splatter.The murderer should have hit the back of the deceased's head with a sharp weapon such as a hammer.Cui Tao looked at the nearby ground, because it had been two days, and she couldn't find any blood, which meant nothing.

Seeing Cui Tao's behavior, Han Qi naturally understood what she was looking for, so he called Wang Zhao to ask who were the yamen servants who were in charge of the search in Lanhua Lane.

Before Wang Zhao could reply, Li Yuan slapped his forehead, and hurriedly took the initiative to report to Han Qi, "I remember that this alley was searched by subordinates. Because at that time, everyone was looking for corpses, so all they could see was the ground. , will pay special attention to the bloodstains, but did not look at the wall. The subordinates remember clearly that there must be no bloodstains on the ground in this alley."

Because the rammed earth wall is light brown, there are fresh blood spots splashed on it. If you don't pay special attention, it is not easy to be found.

Cui Tao promised: "Judging from the blood splattered on the wall, if the murderer directly resisted Yuan Feng's body, there would be blood dripping on the ground. This will leave traces along the way, even if you can't see it at night, you won't see it at dawn." will be conspicuous."

Cui Tao turned to Han Qi and said, "The murderer was bold and careful, and he was very thoughtful when he committed the crime. After hitting the deceased hard on the head, he must have covered the wound on his head with something to prevent the blood from dripping to the ground.

Judging from the boldness, care and thoughtfulness of the murderer, the murderer should be confident that he is very capable, so he is so arrogant and arrogant, and dares to throw corpses everywhere in the city. "

After killing, it involves moving the corpse.Bianjing City has a rich nightlife, but if you go out of this remote alley to the main street, you might meet someone else.Since the murderer likes to use ocher bags to hold body parts, it is very likely that he used ocher bags to cover Yuan Feng's body after killing Yuan Feng.

Cui Tao returned to the mortuary in awe, and checked the ocher bags containing the body parts again.

Li Cai, Wang Siniang, and Ping'er all followed to the morgue. The former was to learn from the master; the latter two had been taught by Cui Tao, and they obediently waited for Cui Tao to order them.

"These bags are so empty, there isn't even a blade of grass, what can you tell?" Wang Siniang moved her big face over curiously.

Cui Tao felt that the light was suddenly blocked, and cast a dissatisfied glance at Wang Siniang's face, and said in a leisurely tone, "You really should lose weight."

Wang Siniang looked at it curiously, but when she heard Cui Tao's words, she immediately collapsed.She immediately withdrew her head, ran to the side and stood there aggrieved.Wang Siniang turned her back to everyone, and silently looked at her legs, arms and stomach... What a fucking lot of meat!

"Master, is there really a clue on this bag?" Li Cai didn't see why.

"Go get a piece of white silk, half a foot wide and long." Cui Tao told Ping'er.

Ping'er was stunned, this white silk is a valuable fabric, if she ran to the warehouse and said it was for the mortuary, it might cause doubts.But Mrs. Cui's order was comparable to an imperial decree, so Ping'er bit the bullet and went, and she was laughed at and questioned by those people.

Ping'er was so angry that her eyes were red, and she planned to go back because of grievances.But when he thought that he couldn't do such a thing, he would definitely be laughed at by Wang Siniang later.

She gritted her teeth, pinched her waist with her hands, and said fiercely to the little official in charge: "Will you give it? If you don't give it to me, go back to the official Han Tui! When the time comes, you will be reprimanded, so don't blame me."

"Hey, Miss Ping, don't be angry, I'll get it for you!"

Ping'er angrily took the white silk, glared at them, turned her head and walked away with great strides.But after walking for a while, she slowed down her steps, patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Cui Tao spread the white silk she got on the table, put six ochre-colored sacks on top, and asked them to close the windows.After confirming that there was no wind in the house, Cui Tao shook off the bag while beating it with a bamboo stick.

Li Cai, Wang Siniang, and Ping'er were all curious about what Cui Tao was doing in this battle, so they stood quietly by the side, watching with wide eyes.

At first they thought that Cui Tao was beating the bag to knock off all the ashes that fell on the bag, and the ashes might still be stuck with the dead man Yuan Feng's skin flakes. Thinking of this, they didn't even dare to breathe.But then they found that there was indeed some debris falling from the bags. There was not much debris falling from one bag, but after the five bags were knocked out, it could be seen.

Li Cai saw that the things that fell were also ocher, and thought that the quality of the cloth in the sack was not good. If you have such a bag at home, you can find the murderer."

Wang Siniang nodded in a daze, and echoed Li Cai's words, praising him as worthy of being Mrs. Cui's apprentice, so smart!

Pinger also followed suit and praised!

Cui Tao looked at the three of them speechlessly, and said that Zhuge Liang was the best of the three cobblers, and the three around her probably couldn't be compared with one cobbler, let alone Zhang Chang who was next to Han Qi.

"Let's talk about it, what's so special about this flaked linen, and where did Man Bian Jingcheng start?" Cui Tao asked them back.

Three people: "..."

At the same time, he looked at Cui Tao eagerly.

"It's not the crumbs from the linen, it's rice bran." Cui Tao transferred the crumbs to a piece of white paper, wrapped them up, and showed them to Han Qi.

Ordinary people's homes definitely don't have so many empty rice bags. The murderer should have something to do with rice shops or warehouses such as transportation and rice storage.

"This is indeed an important clue." Han Qi looked at the amount of powder on the paper that was only enough to pinch with two fingers, and praised Cui Tao, "The heart is as careful as dust, that's it."

"Han Tuiguan's praise!" Cui Tao happened to meet Han Qi's eyes, and the smile in her eyes became even bigger. "I think we can start with a few rice shops that are closer to Lanhua Lane."

The murderer chose to do his job in Lanhua Lane, which shows that he is more familiar with the environment there.And considering the situation of moving the corpse, and the fact that he would have to spend time dismembering, cleaning and disposing of the corpse afterwards, all of which had to be completed before dawn, he probably didn't have time to cross half of Bianjing City to move the corpse.

Of course, this does not mean that the bag he used to hold the body must have come from a nearby rice shop.However, most murderers will choose to commit crimes in their own comfort and safety zone...

Cui Tao found a map of Bianjing, marked five places where the body parts were found, and then marked the place where the murderer was attacked.These six places are scattered in different directions and areas. Cui Tao circled a big circle, taking the surrounding places as the center, and including these six places.She suggested to Han Qi to first check the areas drawn by her first.

Han Qi didn't ask any more questions, just took the map and gave instructions.

Cui Tao pressed the back of her neck with her hand, shook her head, and relieved her fatigue.In order to distinguish what these finely divided powders were, she lowered her head and stared at them for a long time, so that her neck was still a little sore.

"Thank you." Han Qi got up and poured Cui Tao a cup of tea.

Han Qi didn't just put the teacup on the table as he poured tea for Cui Tao last time, this time he reached out and handed it to Cui Tao himself.

Cui Tao thanked with a smile, and went to pick it up.The teacup was not big, and when Cui Tao took it, it slightly touched Han Qi's fingertips.

After Cui Tao took the teacup, she lowered her head and brought it to her mouth to take a sip.After a while, she heard Han Qi's footsteps returning to the table.Looking up at him again, I found that Han Qi was holding the Guanghan Cake that she shared with everyone.

"Before the scientific examination, I haven't eaten it." After Han Qi finished speaking, he took a bite and chewed lightly, eating it extremely elegantly.

"It's still Han who is good at pushing officials, and he has already made up his mind. He doesn't need to eat these things for auspiciousness, and he can be ranked second in high school." Cui Tao flattered and praised.

Han Qi glanced back at Cui Tao and chuckled lightly.The meaning of his smile was unclear, but he didn't know whether he was agreeing with Cui Tao's words or not.

"You've heard of the magic butterfly technique." Han Qi suddenly said to Cui Tao after eating the rest of the snacks in his hand.

Cui Tao shook her head, but when she heard the butterfly, she thought of the tattoo on Yuan Feng's body, and the story of his ancestors relying on the butterfly to save their lives and make a fortune.It must have something to do with Han Qi mentioning 'butterfly' to her at this time.

"If you remove the two words in the middle, you must have heard it before." Han Qi continued.

Cui Tao couldn't help asking: "Illusion?"

"There is a kind of illusion recorded in "Fayuan Zhulin". It is said that during the reign of Emperor Ming of Han Dynasty, there was a man from Tan Kingdom who could 'relocate a cow and a horse's head'. This magic butterfly technique is similar to it. Many butterflies can be created, making people disappear. , reappearing again and again.”

Han Qi told Cui Tao that during the reign of Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, there was a man named Hou Mochen who was also used by Emperor Taizong because of his good illusion skills.However, he was also impeached twice by courtiers for being good at illusion. He was first deposed to be imprisoned in Shangzhou, and then ordered to be executed, but both times he gave up because of Taizong's regret.Even though there were fierce opposition from courtiers at that time, Taizong finally pardoned his death crime.

"It can be seen from this that Hou Mochen, who is good at illusion, is actually very fond of Taizong."

Cui Tao probably understands that this illusion is simply magic, which is quite interesting, but it is not demonized.Poor Song Taizong finally had some fun, he could relax while busy with the emperor's work, but he was obstructed by various courtiers, and even the magician was framed and charged.

This made Cui Tao couldn't help thinking of the current emperor Zhao Zhen, who was exactly the same as his grandfather. When Sima Guang appeared later, he couldn't watch women's sumo anymore.

"Han Tuiguan thought of the magic butterfly technique, maybe Yuan Feng's ancestors have something to do with it?" Cui Tao asked.

Han Qi nodded, "I've thought about it carefully. If I just say it's an ordinary butterfly, it won't be able to save people and make a fortune. I remembered that when I was young, I heard someone say that there was a person who was good at the magic butterfly technique on the east side of Shannan, and attracted a lot of attention. Everyone is watching."

Cui Tao admired him so much that he continued to flatter and praise: "Officer Han can clearly remember everything he heard when he was a child. His brain is really smart and easy to use!"

Han Qi chuckled, "It's true that you have a good memory, so you have to be careful when you speak in front of me in the future, because I will always remember it."

Cui Tao heard something in Han Qi's words, and was about to tease him when she heard Wang Zhao rushing over from outside.

His face was strange, and there was panic in his eyes. Wang Zhao had never had such an expression before, obviously he was frightened.

"A strange thing happened! No, maybe it's haunted! Or maybe I saw a monster!"

Han Qi told him to calm down for a moment before speaking.

"According to Mrs. Cui's suggestion, my subordinates searched from the rice shop closest to Lanhua Lane, and found a place called Kaitai Rice Shop. As soon as a few of us entered, we saw a tall man with a complexion behind the cabinet. Hei. Immediately, we felt that he fit the description of a murderer, so we went to ask him for questioning.

Unexpectedly, after seeing us, this man was stunned first, then turned around and ran away.This is obviously more suspicious, so we chased him, but we saw him running to the door of the back room of Mipu, but suddenly many butterflies appeared and landed on him, and the butterflies disappeared in the blink of an eye. gone too.We searched the inside and outside of the rice shop, but we couldn't find the figure of this man. "

After Wang Zhao said this, he still had an expression of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

"The subordinates waited in the warehouse of Mipu and found a partitioned hut, inside which enshrined an unlettered tablet, with an incense burner in front of it, two plates of fruit, and Yuan Feng's head."

When Wang Zhao said this, his face panicked.He has been a patrol officer for several years, he has experienced many cases, big and small, and he has seen many cruel ways of killing people.But this is the first time for such a wicked case.Not to mention seeing the suspect disappear from under their noses, this guy actually dared to keep the head and enshrine it at home, and he didn't dislike it.

"Unexpectedly, Han Tuiguan just mentioned the magic butterfly technique, and this fantasy butterfly technique came." Cui Tao regretted that she didn't go to search with Wang Zhao and the others, so that she could gain more knowledge.

The case was so weird, Han Qi naturally wanted to go and see it in person.

After Cui Tao arrived at Kaitai Mipu, he first went to see Yuan Feng's head in the warehouse, and it was true that Yuan Feng was hit hard on the back of the head, which was fatal, as he had speculated in Orchid Flower Lane.

Cui Tao ordered Wang Siniang and Ping'er who came with her to put away Yuan Feng's head, and go back to join it with other parts of the body, so that Yuan Feng's whole body can be buried.

Although Wang Siniang and Ping'er had seen many dead bodies with Cui Tao, it was the first time for them to deal with such a decapitated head.Both of them felt apprehensive, but they still had to do what they had to do. This was their promise at the beginning.

Ping'er opened the cloth bag, and stretched her hands as far away as possible, "I will support the bag, and you will be responsible for putting your head down."

"Here you are smart!" Wang Siniang said with disgust, but she also knew that Ping'er didn't have the guts to take the lead.After putting on the gloves, she found the correct position, held Yuan Feng's head up with her eyes closed, and said Amitabha, and then carefully put the head into the bag.

The two left the rice shop immediately, intending to send the head back to Kaifeng Mansion.

At this time, Han Zong took Ouyang Xiu to Mipu, and saw the two of them.

When Ping'er saw Han Zong, she immediately became nervous and her face turned red.

Wang Siniang was not polite, and greeted Han Zong when she saw him. After all, she and Han Zong had a "car for a donkey" affection before.

Han Zong was also polite, and asked Wang Siniang with a smile, "Who are you?"

"Send the head back!" Wang Siniang said openly.

Han Zong's eyes immediately fell on the bag in Ping'er's hand because he was looking for the head.

Ping'er shook her hands, and tears immediately fell.It was so embarrassing for her to see him only once, and she was actually holding the head!

Ping'er cried to Han Zong: "I didn't mean it!"

"Isn't it intentional?" Han Zong looked at Ping'er in confusion.

Ping'er became more nervous, but her tears became more violent, "I didn't intend to take... the head."

"Who will take it if you don't? Could it be that you plan to let Mrs. Cui take it?" Han Zong's eyes immediately turned cold.

"I didn't mean that, it should be me, I'll take it." Ping'er quickly clenched the bag in her hand and carried it carefully.

Han Zong said softly to Ping'er: "That's right, from now on you will be responsible for this kind of rough work, don't let Mrs. Cui have any trouble."

After Han Zong finished speaking, he called Ouyang Xiu to go in together.

Ouyang Xiu didn't go in, staring at the bag in Ping'er's hand, "I want to send Brother Yuan's head back with them."

Before Han Zong could reply, he heard Cui Tao's unwelcoming voice behind him.

"Why are you here again?"

"Isn't it just a coincidence? Brother Ouyang and I were in the restaurant at the intersection. I heard that there was a case here and the murderer ran away. I guess it has something to do with Brother Yuan's case. Of course I have to come and see." Han Zonghao Explained grumpily.

Cui Tao didn't really believe Han Zong's words, she looked at Ouyang Xiu, and seeing Ouyang Xiu nodded, she dispelled her doubts.

Seeing that Cui Tao trusted Ouyang Xiu so much, Han Zong was a little upset, but he didn't say much, he just asked Cui Tao how the case was going and if he could help.

Cui Tao didn't want to talk to Han Zong at first, but after hearing what he said, she thought that Han Zong seemed to know a lot of information, so she asked him, "Do you know the magic butterfly technique?"

"I know, I met you a few days ago." Han Zong said immediately.

Han Qi followed closely, and after hearing this, he and Cui Tao looked at Han Zong.
