Go back to ancient times to explore the case

On the bustling Min'an Avenue, a pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings stands in the most prosperous position on the street. The gate is bustling with people, many of whom are high-ranking officials, nobles, officials and merchants.

This pavilion is the largest brothel in Kyoto, Chenxiang Pavilion.

Two slender men with handsome faces walked into the Chenxiang Pavilion with the flow of people.

One of the men took advantage of the crowding momentum to keep clinging to the stern man beside him, whispering from time to time: "Master Yan, it's so crowded here."

These two were Xie Yu'an and Yan Qingchuan who were disguised as men.

Yan Qingchuan ignored her, and went straight to the old bustard who was greeting guests in Yanpa, and showed his waist badge, "Since the case is investigated by Qingtian, I have a few questions for you now."

The smile on the old bustard's face froze, and he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Come here, please, let's not disturb the interest of other guests."

The three walked towards a quiet corner.

Yan Qingchuan cut to the chase and said, "Do you know Yuan Hai?"

"Who doesn't know Boss Yuan, who is rich and powerful, he is a frequent visitor in our pavilion."

"He was killed yesterday. According to our preliminary investigation, the last place he appeared before his death was your Chenxiang Pavilion."

When the bustard heard this, she yelled out in shock, then covered her mouth with an unbelievable expression on her face, "This, this...how could it be, who killed Boss Yuan?"

"We are investigating, please tell me in detail when Yuan Hai arrived at your Chenxiang Pavilion yesterday, who did you meet, and when did you leave?"

The old bustard nodded and recalled: "Yesterday, Boss Yuan was the same as usual. He arrived at the pavilion at about seven o'clock in the evening, and then went to find Miss Ye He. If I leave, I think it will be around twelve o'clock. "

While recording, Yan Qingchuan asked, "Is there any difference when he came?"

"When he came yesterday, he looked happier than in the past. I remember I was joking with him yesterday, saying that Boss Yuan had some kind of happy event, and his face was radiant. He just smiled and didn't answer me."

Yan Qingchuan closed the booklet and said, "Well, take us to Miss Ye He."

The old bustard said with a look of embarrassment: "This...Miss Ye He is accompanying a guest right now."

Yan Qingchuan took out an ingot of silver and handed it to the old bustard knowingly, and the old bustard's eyes lit up, she took it immediately, and went upstairs to lead the way: "Please, please, two officials."

When going upstairs, Xie Yu'an came to Yan Qingchuan's side and said, "Master Yan, although I said that I will give you a part-time job for free, does Qingtian Division have a year-end bonus?"

Yan Qingchuan gave her a sideways glance, although she didn't understand the meaning of the year-end award, just now she caught a glimpse of Xie Yu'an's eyes staring at Yin Zi.

Master Yan, who is honest and upright and never bends his waist for five buckets of rice, said coldly: "No."

Xie Yu'an gave a "tsk", "Stingy."

While speaking, the three of them had already gone up to the second floor and came to a wing room.

The old bustard entered the room first, and after explaining to the guests in the room, a man with bare breasts and breasts came out while wearing a belt, glanced at Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an, said a few words of "unlucky" before leaving.

The bustard led the two of them into the room, "You two adults, if you have any questions, please ask Miss Ye He. She will not accept guests today, so you two can ask slowly." After finishing speaking, she turned and left the room.

Xie Yu'an was so disgusted by the old bustard's wretched smile, he turned to look at the woman in the house.

The woman was dressed in a thin gauze, with a delicate and bright face, she bowed to the two of them and saluted, "I have seen you two adults." After saying that, she covered her mouth and coughed a few times: "I occasionally feel cold recently, adults, please don't blame me. "

Yan Qingchuan looked up at her and said, "Miss Ye He, right? We are looking for you today to investigate a murder case, and we hope you will cooperate with our subsequent inquiries."

Ye He was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Excuse me, my lord."

"What time did Yuan Hai come to you yesterday?"

"Around seven o'clock in the evening." After Ye He finished answering, she asked puzzledly, "Why did your lord ask Boss Yuan?" She raised her hand to cover her mouth, and said in a little surprise, "Could it be that something happened to Boss Yuan?"

"He was killed yesterday."

"How - yes! This, this..." Ye He covered her mouth tightly, her pretty face showing a look of shock.

Yan Qingchuan continued to ask: "When did he leave yesterday?"

Ye He was still in shock, and replied in a daze: "It's probably around twelve o'clock."

"How was he different yesterday?"

Ye He said sadly: "No, it's the same as usual."

Yan Qingchuan paused, "Tell me in detail."

Ye He laughed at himself: "The clients and prostitutes are in the house, what can they do, what do you want to hear?"

Xie Yu'an stood up and said: "Don't talk about that, just think about whether he said something different from usual, such as who he has grudges with recently."

Ye He thought for a while and said: "During the chat, Master Yuan scolded his wife a few words, but he is used to complaining about these things, there is nothing strange about family affairs and business affairs.

"The next thing is that he said he wanted to marry me, but Fengyuechang's words, after all, he just listened to it, so I naturally didn't worry about it."

"Where were you after Yuan Hai left?"

"After taking a nap in the room, about an hour later, Mr. Yue from Yueji Pawn Shop came, so I went downstairs to drink with him. I went back to my room to rest when Mr. Yue left around five o'clock in the morning."

Yan Qingchuan nodded slightly, "That's it for today, no more trouble."

Ye He bowed and saluted, "The servants are sending off the two adults."

After returning downstairs, Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an found the bustard to confirm what Ye He had just said, and the two left Chenxiang Pavilion and walked on the noisy street.

Xie Yu'an asked: "Master Yan, do you doubt that girl Ye He?"

Yan Qingchuan said indifferently: "Everyone who had close contact with Yuan Hai on the day of the incident is suspected."

Xie Yu'an nodded and analyzed: "At present, it seems that the testimony of Ye He and the old bustard are consistent. Although Su Mei deliberately concealed something, the testimony she said can be confirmed by the family of Yuan's family. It is possible that she is lying. Sex is not great.

According to the known clues so far, Yuan Hai left home at 06:30 in the evening and arrived at Chenxiang Pavilion around [-]:[-]. "

Yan Qingchuan continued: "The journey from Yuan Mansion to Chenxiang Pavilion is about half an hour, that is to say, he went directly to Chenxiang Pavilion after leaving home, and did not go to other places."

"Yuan Hai arrived at Chenxiang Pavilion around seven o'clock and left until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Now what he needs to figure out is where he went, who he met, and what happened during the period from twelve o'clock to three o'clock in the morning. What, so as to be killed." Xie Yu'an said with a serious look.

"Let's start investigating Yuan Hai's interpersonal relationship."

Xie Yu'an's thoughts coincided with Yan Qingchuan's.

After the two quickly returned to Qingtian Division, Yan Qingchuan began to arrange tasks for tomorrow, first he arranged for a group of people to go to the road from Yuan Mansion to Chenxiang Pavilion to inquire about news.

Then send a team of people to visit Yuanji Bank to check Yuan Hai's interpersonal relationship.

Yan Qingchuan is planning to go to Yuan Mansion to investigate in person tomorrow.

Xie Yu'an looked at Yan Qingchuan who was giving orders, and couldn't help feeling that Master Yan really has the demeanor of a strong woman.

She yawned, and was about to stand up and follow Yan Qingchuan back to the Yan Mansion when she heard a clear and high-spirited female voice coming from the gate.

"Master Yan is going out to handle a case? It's really admirable to do so hard."

Xie Yu'an followed the prestige and saw a woman in a dark red brocade robe with flying brows striding towards her.

Xu Jin stood in front of Yan Qingchuan and sneered at the woman: "It's nothing compared to Master Ling's thunderous methods. He cleared up the riots in the suburbs of Beijing in just seven days, which is admirable."

Master Ling?Xie Yu'an raised his eyebrows, remembering the description about Qing Tiansi in the book.

The Qingtian Division has a captain, who is in charge of the whole department. From the beginning of the book, he went to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, and he will not return until the first case is over. Under the captain, there are two young ministers, one is Yan Qingchuan, and the other is Ling Yan, who was born in a family of criminal officials, these two are deadly rivals in the book.

Ling Yan smiled and said: "Where, how can you compare with your Master Yan, who solves cases like a god, and handles all major and serious cases. I just came back, but I heard that there was a murder case in Beijing. Master Yan This is another meritorious promotion."

"Little Qing Tiansi may not be able to tolerate this great Buddha, Mr. Yan."

Xu Jin blushed and said, "You——!"

Faced with the cynicism, Yan Qingchuan didn't respond, pressed Xu Jin's shoulder and said, "Send someone to do what I told you just now."

Xu Jin showed unwillingness, glared at Ling Yan bitterly, and then left.

Ling Yan smiled contemptuously, and looked at the strange Xie Yu'an in the atrium.

She took a step forward and said with a teasing smile, "Hey, where is the young girl who is so juicy, she looks so delicate."

Xie Yu'an was so pleased with the compliment, he blurted out: "Wherever it is, it's just so-so, maybe the third in the country."

Ling Yan smiled even more, "Will the little girl come to work under my command? What's the point of following that iceberg?"

Xie Yu'an glanced at Yan Qingchuan, seeing that her expression was as usual, she didn't seem to be angry.

"No, no, Master Yan is very kind to me."

Ling Yan shrugged, "Since this is the case, then it's not too difficult for others, but if you want to come to my side at any time, you are welcome at any time." After finishing speaking, the person who took her left.

After Ling Yan left, Xie Yu'an walked up to Yan Qingchuan with a playful smile and said, "Master Yan, do you see that I am also very sought after, okay? You have to cherish me, otherwise I might be poached someday."

Yan Qingchuan walked towards the door, his voice was as cold as the winter night, "whatever you want."

Xie Yu'an shook his head, joking with Yan Qingchuan was just asking for fun.

Then the two returned to Yan Mansion.

Xie Yu'an lay on the soft couch in the room and asked: "System, how much power is there? I remember I charged it many times today."

The system's electronic voice immediately replied: "The remaining power is 30%, and it is expected to be exhausted in two days."

Xie Yu'an sighed, this electricity is really not enough, but she never dared to attack Yan Qingchuan at night again. Thinking of the dagger on her neck last night, she still had lingering fears, so she had to find another way.

She tossed and turned on the bed for a while, moved her ears, and heard the faint sound of water in the backyard.

She turned over and sat up immediately, then walked out of the room lightly to the backyard.

A room in the backyard was dimly lit by candlelight, and there was the sound of splashing water.

Because there are no servants in the Yan Mansion, bathing and other things are done in this bathroom in the backyard, and they fetch water to clean themselves.

And now, Yan Qingchuan is taking a bath in the bathroom.

Xie Yu'an came outside the bathroom, and carefully opened the door. The room was filled with mist and steam, and a bathtub was placed on a huge screen.

Through the screen, Xie Yu'an saw Yan Qingchuan's blurred figure behind him.

Holding her breath, she moved a few steps towards the screen, trying to steal the clothes hanging on the screen, so that Yan Qingchuan had to ask her to send the clothes, so it would be easy to take the opportunity to recharge.

However, she far underestimated Yan Qingchuan's vigilance, as soon as she stretched out, there was a low shout from behind the screen.

"Who!"
