treacherous world

This way followed Long Weixing to the yamen, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao studied the way, and found out a lot about the past, but they don't know how it will develop in the future.Long Yiling, who was supposed to be dead, didn't know if he survived or where he was now.This person has never appeared before, whether it is the mysterious young master, the instigator of the whole thing, it is unknown.

Soon, Zhan Zhao and others entered the Yamen and saw Dong Fang's body.

Dong Fang is Dong Jialuo's son, and logically speaking, there should be many of Dong Jialuo's cronies at the scene, but the strange thing is... unexpectedly, the deceased Fang had a housekeeper.

As soon as Zhan Zhao entered the door, he asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Isn't it his own?"

Bai Yutang also felt that something was wrong.

Gongsun walked to the corpse, lifted the cloth covering the corpse, and frowned. He saw that the corpse was bleeding from seven holes, which was obviously caused by intracranial hemorrhage.

Gongsun went to touch Dong Fang's bones again, and found that the tendons were broken. He stood where he was, smiling and shaking his head.

Both Long Weixing and Dong Xie saw it, and asked Gongsun puzzled, "Mr. Gongsun, what are you laughing at?"

Gongsun asked the housekeeper, "Who was the first to find your young master's body?"

"It's the master." The butler replied truthfully, "The young master fell asleep when he came back. It is said that there was a fight outside, and he was afraid that he would be punished by the master when he saw the wound, because the master just ordered the young master not to cause trouble. After the master found out, I ran to the young master's room to reprimand him, but unexpectedly the young master was standing upright to be scolded, but suddenly he bled to death from seven holes. The master was overstimulated and passed out, the old woman and the young mistress both cried and passed out, ordered me Come here and stand by, my second young master will come over to preside over the overall situation immediately."

Gongsun nodded.

Zhan Zhao asked, "How is it?"

Gongsun Dao, "He didn't die by concentrating on internal strength at all, but was slapped from the top of his head with a palm, smashing his brain and killing him instantly. If you don't believe me, you can shave his head and see if there are palm prints on the top of his head, and then open his head to see his brain." Whether it was broken up."

"This..." Long Weixing looked at the magistrate.

The magistrate wiped his sweat, he also knew who the autopsy was, the "Prince Concubine" of Song Dynasty, so he looked at his own work.

This man was only a half-hearted doctor in one place. He heard the people in Dong's mansion say so, so he was sentenced in this way. Now that people have objections, he is also at a loss.

At this moment, I heard a voice from outside the door, saying, "Do as Mr. Gongsun wants."

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man in a bright yellow brocade robe walking in.There are a few attendants behind him, and they are also in high spirits... As soon as this person entered the door, Zhan Zhao and others could tell that he must be a general.

"Master Dong." Long Weixing and others saluted this man.

The young man waved his hand lightly, and bowed to Zhan Zhao and the others, "Dong Qin, it was my elder brother who died." Only then did Zhan Zhao and the others figure out that this was the legendary Second Young Master.It's just... the eldest brother is dead anyway, so why not feel sad at all?

Dong Qin also seemed to see everyone's doubts, and smiled lightly, "I was born with his half-brother, he is a troublemaker, I have looked down on him since I was a child, and it will be a matter of time before someone beats him to death and lays his body on the street .”

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched twice, not knowing whether to say that he was honest or ruthless.

Dong Qin stretched out his hand and gently stroked a lock of hair hanging on his chest, sat down and looked up and down Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Gongsun, admiring, "It is said that the people in the Central Plains are outstanding, and it is true. They are young and promising, and my younger brother admires them. Huh? I heard that the Ninth Prince will be here, and I came here just to meet him, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about this damned ghost."

Long Weixing stood there in embarrassment, Dong Xie looked aside speechlessly, and the magistrate kept wiping his sweat.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, they were brothers no matter what, even if he was heinous, he didn't need to scold the dead body... What's more, this Dong Fang is just a scumbag, if you ask him to do heinous things, he may not be able to do it Come out, the sin is not unto death.

Wu Zuo followed Gongsun's instructions, and sure enough, there was a handprint on the top of his head.Gongsun asked Zhan Zhao to stretch out his hand to compare it with the handprint, and found that the shape of the palmprint was different from Zhan Zhao's. The hand was wider than Zhan Zhao's, but the fingers were not as long as Zhan Zhao's, and the knuckles were thicker, far less well-proportioned than Zhan Zhao's hand. , so... Zhan Zhao was framed, that's self-evident.

Long Weixing nodded, and asked Bai Yutang, "Then what... Do you want to give Young Xia Bai a try?

Bai Yutang was speechless, stretched out his hand to press the handprint, and found that it was also a part of his finger.

Withdrawing his hand, Bai Yutang stared at the palm print and asked Zhan Zhao, "Are your fingers too thick and short?"

Zhan Zhao also felt that the proportions seemed uncoordinated.

"Since the two of you are not the murderers, hurry up and arrest me, I will trouble you with my eldest brother's case." Dong Qin said, standing up, "It's better to meet by chance than to meet each other, it's better to..."

"Oh, it's too late, since the suspicion of Zhan Zhao has been cleared, we won't bother you any more." Gongsun hurriedly answered, and handed over to Long Weixing, "If Detective Long needs anything, just call us. "

"Thank you, Mr. Gongsun." Long Weixing felt a little ashamed, "Mr. has excellent medical skills, Mr. Zhan is also a world-renowned god catcher, he is really extraordinary! To tell you the truth, the people of Dali are devout to Buddha, and there are very few lawsuits involving human life. The so-called No. [-] arrester in the world can't handle two murders even if he travels all over Dali in a year."

The fourth son was surprised when he heard this, and asked Xiao Liang in a low voice, "Little Liangzi, Dali has such a good law and order? Then why are there so many people dying?"

Xiao Liang lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Didn't you listen, this world's number one god arrester travels all over the country and solves two or three murder cases in one year, so how can he not kill anyone!"

"Oh." The fourth son nodded.

Gongsun patted the heads of the two children, Long Weixing blushed and felt ashamed.

Gongsun looked back at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, what does that mean—is this case to be handled or not?

Unexpectedly, when everyone was hesitating, Dong Qin said, "Actually, maybe my elder brother offended someone outside, and he was slapped to death. If it is found out, my elder brother will not come back from the dead. Why don't you come back to life?" Just send someone to ask around." After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to everyone, "It's a pity that I don't have the chance to meet the Ninth Prince today, and we must have a good talk at the banquet tomorrow, so I will take my leave first." After finishing speaking, leave the prefect and leave go.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, feeling inconceivable, how could Dong Qin, who is so talented, be so disinterested in his family?If this is the case with relatives, wouldn't it be ruthless and ungrateful to friends in a blink of an eye? How can such a person have a deep friendship? !Avoid it for fear of being too late.

"The Dong family doesn't have many descendants." Dong Xie explained the grievances to everyone. "Dong Fang is the eldest son and grandson. Although he is stupid, he is very favored. Dong Qin is born of a concubine. Pet. Dong Fang is dead this time, and he is left alone, so he can be righted... Speaking of which, he is still a little suspicious."

Long Weixing nodded, "But his hand shape seems to be different."

"You don't have to do it yourself if you want to kill someone." Dong Xieliang said silkily, "Just like the Cangshan faction and Erhai Palace incidents, let's use a knife to kill someone."

Long Weixing thinks it makes sense.

It was too late at this moment, and everyone took their leave first and went back.

As soon as Zhan Zhao and the others went out, they saw Zhao Pu waiting with Zi Ying and Zhe Ying with his arms folded at the entrance of the alley.

Gongsun knew that he didn't go in in order to avoid trouble, and he was worried, so waiting at the door would be hard for him to be a dignified prince.

The fourth son still rushed out habitually and let Zhao Pu hug him. Gongsun took Xiao Liang to Zhao Pu's side, and the family of four walked back together. Gongsun told Zhao Pu about the case.

Zhan Zhao swayed around holding the giant que behind his back. From what he saw, he always felt that Gongsun and his family were lively and harmonious, making people happy for them.

In a blink of an eye, Bai Yutang was looking down at his hands.

Zhan Zhao got playful again, reached out to pinch Bai Yutang's slender middle finger, and pulled his hand in front of his eyes, "Tsk tsk, Fifth Master's palmistry is so good! Look at this lover's line, which is full of forks like bamboo, it must be It's Peach Blossom Life!"

Bai Yutang was amused, withdrew his hand, and held out the other to him, "Silly cat, can you move between men and women?"

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips, Bai Yutang was still amused, "Did you see that?"

"See what?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"Lover's line is in the shape of a cat!" Bai Yutang joked, and Zhan Zhao was really amused.

The two had had enough laughs, and they held their chins to ponder again—whose hands would look like that?The five fingers are so thick and short, and the hands are broad. Could it be that he is a big fat man?That's not right, Humpty Dumpty?

After thinking about it, I got home.

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Yutang saw Tianzun sitting obediently in the courtyard, and Yin Hou was drinking tea opposite him.

Bai Yutang entered, smiled, and asked Tianzun, "Master, are you feeling well?"

Tianzun secretly yelled that it was not good-this clever ghost must have figured out the ins and outs of the matter, no need to ask, the pretending to be sick has also been exposed.

"What letter did Fifth Aunt send you?" Bai Yutang sat down with a smile and asked him, but he wasn't angry, and didn't blame him at all.

Yin Hou nodded secretly, sometimes, you really can't look at the surface when looking at people, let alone listen to rumors or other people's descriptions, you need to understand it yourself!Bai Yutang came from a good background and was blessed with the privilege of being a proud son of heaven, but his temper was not strong, and he seemed so arrogant in his usual indifference, but it was only on the surface.He is still very easy-going and polite, and he is also sincerely filial to Tianzun, Tianzun naturally knows it well, so uneasy is nothing more than because he is too guilty.

"Your fifth aunt gave you a suicide note." Tianzun muttered.

The fourth son was peeling the oranges aside, surprised, "Oh, Zunzun, did you throw away the suicide note that Fifth Aunt gave you in vain?"

Tianzun nodded.

"Hasn't Baibai's fifth aunt passed away a long time ago?" The fourth son was puzzled, "Why did you just remember?"

"His fifth aunt said, and he took out the letter after 20 years." Tianzun said, "I only found out recently that it was gone."

The fourth son blinked for a long time, then tilted his head, "Aunt Wu Bai... so weird."

Gongsun covered the mouth of the fourth son, knowing that Bai Yutang respected his fifth aunt very much, and children should not talk nonsense.

Bai Yutang didn't care, but asked the fourth son, "What's wrong?"

The fourth son asked, "Why did you give the letter to Zunzun? Zunzun always throws things away! Let him keep one thing for 20 years, wow, it will be lost in 20 days, right?"

Everyone looked at Tianzun with understanding, absolutely!Tianzun scratched his head, and Yin Hou also nodded helplessly.

"And oh." The fourth son chewed a piece of orange with puffy cheeks, "Why don't you give the letter to Aunt Lu, third uncle and the others if you want to save it for so long? Zunzun must have been a hundred years old at the time."

Everyone was stunned, and at the same time felt that this question really didn't make sense... Fifth Aunt couldn't have guessed that Tianzun could live so long, right?So who knows if this so-called suicide note will end up in Bai Yutang's hands?

Immediately, Tianzun felt that he felt much less guilty, and nodded, "Yes, why is that?"

Everyone thought about it for a long time and felt that this point was the most unreasonable, so they looked at the fourth son together, "Why is this?"

The fourth son looked at the crowd depressed with the orange pulp in his mouth, and asked him who he was asking?

Xiao Liang peeled the orange and asked, "Would you keep two copies of such an important thing?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Liang again.

"After all, it's so important! If it were me, I would keep two copies, and put one in a place where Brother Bai will definitely see it in 20 years." Xiao Liang thought with his face up, "Or give it to someone who will definitely meet Bai in 20 years. Brother's people!"

Everyone was a little dazed by the thinking of the two children. They thought it made sense but still had no clues, so they had to give up and go to rest first.

After washing up, Bai Yutang lay on the bed with his hands behind his head in a daze.

Zhan Zhao stepped aside, put his hands behind his back, and approached him.Finding that Bai Yutang hadn't noticed at all and was still in a daze, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he reached out and pressed the thing hidden behind his back to Bai Yutang's face.

Bai Yutang startled Zhan Zhao, with a "poof", his face was fluffy, and then he heard a "meow".

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to push it away, and found that Zhan Zhao had picked up a plump and beautiful little white cat from nowhere, with a round belly, it seemed that Zhan Zhao had fed it just now.

"What do you think about after you come back?" Zhan Zhao put the kitten on the soft cushion beside him to let it sleep, leaning against Bai Yutang himself, "Is it still the handprint?"

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and looked at it, "Hey, cat, if the fingers of a normal person are thick enough, they will be very long, but that hand, don't you think, there are only two joints, which seems to be missing. A finger?"

"I also find it strange that there is one less section!" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of clapping his palm, "Usually, the empowerment is done with one palm. Is the head round, and the palm will unconsciously become claw-shaped?" , so the finger will be more obvious, but this handprint, in retrospect, really seems to be missing, or in other words, it was taken by turning the palm of the hand."

Bai Yutang frowned, and turned to look at him, "Why did you turn your palms around to pat?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

"Unless..." Bai Yutang sat up suddenly.

"what?"

"You can't bend your fingers!" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Hands are handicapped?" Zhan Zhao thought it made sense, but, "Can fingers be so powerful if they are handicapped?"

"Cat." Bai Yutang reached out to grab the kitten that was sneaking up, and patted Zhan Zhao's face with the cat's paw, "Turn around the corner and think about it!"

Zhan Zhao pinched the cat's paw a bit, and he understood, "It's not a hand?!"

Bai Yutang laughed, "At least it's not human!"
