[Zhan Zhaotongren] Hongchen

When Su Xiaoxiao was released from the God Detective Department, it was already dusk, and Su Xiaoxiao realized after she came out from the God Detective Department that this Zhuge didn't tell her the truth, these people were all killed by a kind of poison, The poison must be a very important clue, but the old man didn't say a word about the poison all afternoon.

Another point is that Su Xiaoxiao is also very strange, since Zhui Ming and the others have been to Yihong Courtyard, why does their master still call her little brother?

Shaking her head to put aside these unsolvable problems, she walked into the gate of Kaifeng Mansion alone, and seeing no one stopped her, she couldn't help being curious, this Kaifeng Mansion is really "easy-going", and no one stopped her when she went out. No one stopped me.

In the conference hall of the God Arresting Office, after Su Xiaoxiao left, she chased her life and asked, "Master, what did you find?"

"He should have a keel in his hand. His background is not simple, you have to check carefully." Before Zhuge Yuan could speak, Wu Qing who was sitting beside him said.

"you sure?"

"When the master pointed out the evidence on the table just now, Su Xiaoxiao stared at those keel bones for a long time, she must be right." Nodding ruthlessly, Zhuge Yuan smiled and admitted that this Su Xiaoxiao is not simple, but no matter whether he is with this It will be interesting to see if the murders are related.

In front of the Kaifeng mansion is the lobby, and at the back are the side halls and the meeting hall, and then the study and bedrooms of Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce and others.

Both Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce have families, so each has a courtyard, and further back is the guard's room, the servant's room, the guest room, the kitchen, etc., and finally the office room and the morgue.

There is an independent small building between the courtyards of Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce. On the board of the small building is written the words "Zangshuge". The small building is not high. The third floor is very antique, and there are wind chimes embedded in the corners.

Then go inside, the guard's room and the guest room also have independent small courtyards, some are larger and some are smaller. There are three rooms in the courtyard where Su Xiaoxiao lives, and Su Xiaoxiao lives in one of them.

When passing by the small courtyard, she didn't go in, but stopped and then walked forward. After turning around a bend, there was the kitchen.

In fact, to be precise, the kitchen should be halfway around the pond. This pond is not big, but it is still a scene. Su Xiaoxiao stood by the pond and watched it for a long time, because it was autumn that the lotus in the water was all defeated. , the remaining yellow stems and leaves make people look bleak.

Su Xiaoxiao cheered up and ran towards the kitchen. She didn't eat much this day. Just now, she ate some snacks given to Zhui Ming at the Shenhun Division. It was really not good. She was going to visit the Kaifeng Mansion What's delicious for dinner.

The master of Kaifeng Mansion is surnamed Li, he is a fat man in his fifties, he was in Kaifeng Mansion before Bao Zheng came, and now he still cooks for everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, so he is considered an old man of Kaifeng Mansion.

The daily food in Kaifeng Mansion is from morning to night. For those who have no family, from the adults to the policemen, all the meals are cooked by Master Li. Of course, even if the adults have families, he will Just cook.

By the quiet pond, after Su Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared, another figure quietly landed on the place where she stood just now, Zhan Zhao looked down at his feet, then raised his head to look at the place where Su Xiaoxiao disappeared, Over there is the kitchen.

Master Li was cutting meat at this time, it was getting dark, and it was almost time for dinner, so he was the busiest at this time.

When Su Xiaoxiao turned around, she happened to see a big fat man slicing finely sliced ​​meat. From the looks of it, this man's cooking skills should be pretty good. She approached and asked, "Master, do you need help?"

Master Li glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and said casually, "You are the new assistant cook you have found? Help me wash all the dishes over there, carefully and cleanly."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't explain. She looked around for a well and started to wash vegetables. The well water in autumn was already a little cold, and her hands were red when she finished washing all the vegetables.When she brought the dishes back, she saw that the master had already cut the meat and started to light the fire.

Su Xiaoxiao found a bowl and put the sliced ​​meat that the master chef had just cut into it, then put some water in the bowl, put some gorgon powder and less salt, and finally stretched out her hand to grab it twice.

After finishing the meat slices, she began to skillfully chop the vegetables. The vegetables washed just now were either in pieces, or slices, or diced. In the blink of an eye, Su Xiaoxiao finished all of them.

Master Li got angry and turned around, only to see the boy who was washing vegetables just now standing by the table and smiling at him. Raising eyebrows, "Hehe, have you practiced?"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak, just laughed.This knife skill is a "stunt skill" that she has practiced for more than a year. Although her memory and body are not coordinated now, it is enough.

Su Xiaoxiao helped Master Li make dinner, and finally made a snack when she came out of the kitchen. Master Li is a man, and most of the people in Kaifeng Mansion are men. Master Li almost forgot about dim sum. , no one asked for it in these years, and he never bothered to do it. Today, when he saw the little chef cooking, he also reached out and put one in his mouth, "Well, yes, a child can be taught."

In the inner hall, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce have been having dinner together for the past two days because of the case. Today the dishes have just been served, and Zhan Zhao also came in from the outside.

"Guard Zhan, have you eaten yet? Come, let's go together." Seeing Zhan Zhao coming in, Gongsun Ce greeted him with his hand.

Zhan Zhao nodded, saluted Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce, and took out a silver needle from his sleeve.

"This is..." Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were puzzled, they watched Zhan Zhao extend the silver needle to a dish on the table.

One plate, two plates, Zhan Zhao tried all the dishes on the table with a silver needle, just now he stared outside the kitchen for a while, that Su Xiaoxiao was helping Master Li with dinner, she had all the dishes here Opportunity came, so he was worried and brought the silver needle to try the dishes.

"Guard Zhan suspects that there is poison in this dish?" Gongsun Ce saw that this posture should be, but he didn't see anything wrong with these dishes. Gongsun Ce pointed to the stool beside him and said, "Come and sit down first, let me see these The food should be fine, let's chat while eating."

"Thank you, Mr. Gongsun." Zhan Zhao put away the silver needle and sat down next to Gongsun Ce, and a servant beside him immediately added another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

It was Zhan Zhao's first meal with Bao Zheng Gongsun Ce, and he was a little cautious, dawdling with his chopsticks.

Bao Zheng naturally understood, he stretched out his hand to pick up the chopsticks and took a bite first, smiling without saying a word.

Um?Bao Zheng frowned, why is Master Li's craftsmanship a bit different from usual today?He took another bite, then signaled Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao to have a taste too.

Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao felt it was strange, the lord's expression didn't look like he was poisoned, they each took a bite, and felt that the food was a little different from usual.

"What happened to Master Li today?" Gongsun Ce put down his chopsticks and asked.

"You also feel different from the past?" Bao Zheng asked.

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, he wasn't sure if it was the same as what he thought.

Gongsun Ce continued to eat with a smile on his face. He was hungry after a busy day, and today's meal seemed very appetizing.

The three of them had different thoughts, they ate while chatting about the case, and after the meal was over, the servants brought over the snacks.

"Heh, today's Master Li is really different, he even has dim sum." Bao Zheng picked up one and put it into his mouth in one gulp.

After dinner, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce chatted and digested food, Zhan Zhao was left alone to walk to his small courtyard, he stopped when he passed Su Xiaoxiao's house, today he checked all day, this Su Xiaoxiao's origin is unknown After only one day in the capital, he offended Taishi Pang's son, Pang Yu, and was sold into a brothel by Pang Yu.

Everything seems to be flawless, but how can a plain-haired commoner be so interested in a murder case, and try everything possible to get involved in the government, there must be something wrong here.

Su Xiaoxiao also ate too much, she spread Bai Ling away and lay on the bed alone, rubbing her stomach to digest food, thinking, if she solves this case, can Bao Zheng keep her in the Kaifeng mansion?

In this city of Kaifeng, Bao Zheng may be the only force that can resist Grand Master Pang.Now she has offended the dignitaries as soon as she enters the city, and the God Detective Division has a bunch of inexplicable people, and now she can't even think about entering the Kaifeng mansion.

But looking back at this case, she has no clue at all. She is not a forensic doctor, nor is she a criminal policeman. In her previous life, all her common sense of police and criminals was just watching TV. How much can you believe in the things on TV?What a big head.

According to the old man Zhuge, four people died in the city this month, and Lai Yonghua was the youngest.

The other three were 35 years old, 40 years old, and 41 years old. They were all killed shortly after arriving from other places.

One of these three people was a general, and he died when he returned to Beijing to meet the emperor, which is why one person died in front of the emperor.The other is a bachelor who came here to see friends, and the other came here for business.

They have nothing to do with Lai Yonghua and don't know each other, but they died just like Lai Yonghua, they all died of half-steps with a smile.One died in the inn, one died in the street, and the other died in the court, but Lai Yonghua died in a brothel.

Su Xiaoxiao turned over and continued to think.

These four people have absolutely nothing to do with each other in terms of their backgrounds or personal interests, and their ages don't match. Lai Yonghua is only in his early twenties, and he doesn't seem like someone with any ambitions. At most, he is a rich son-in-law. , while the other three are all successful in their careers.

I can't figure it out, I don't understand, there's no reason...

No, I have to find an opportunity to sneak out tomorrow. She is still waiting to die in Kaifeng Mansion. Now she is still the biggest suspect. What those people from the Shenhun Division might think, that old Zhuge laughed very hard. Kindness, who knows if some evidence will be turned around to frame her.

She has always been prejudiced against those who are too close to the emperor, Su Xiaoxiao thought upside down, why is it time travel, the heroine of the family is a handsome guy who is infatuated, this love does not change, why is it her turn to almost starve to death, now it is good, handsome guy Yes, she saw it, but she couldn't get away—a suspected murderer!

After thinking about it, Su Xiaoxiao counted with her fingers. Handsome guy, um, Zhan Zhao is one, but not cute enough. Chasing life is one, but he is too attractive, Ruthless is one, but unfortunately he can’t laugh, and Iron hands and cold blood... Uh, I didn't see clearly.

In fact, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce are not bad either. They are in their thirties and both have career knowledge. However, they seem to have a family...

Outside the window, a thin crescent moon hung obliquely on the branches.

The night is still long, if you fall into a dream, this quiet night is just embellishment...
