The dream of "Tenderness of Iron Hands" begins in Tokyo

============================================

In came two village women.The elder sister looked to be in her early forties, and she was obviously a little scared when she saw the people from the government, and she was still crying softly after the salute, but the third sister was in her thirties, and looked a little bolder and shrewder.

Tie Shou asked as gently as possible: "There are only three siblings in your family?"

Third Miss Liu replied in a low voice: "My lord, there are four siblings in my family. The three sisters have already married in the neighboring village. The second sister moved to Guangnan with her husband's family two years ago and has never been back. Since the mother passed away the year before last, the family has There is only one brother left."

"Oh. Then when was the last time you two saw your brother?"

"My eldest sister and I feel very sorry for my younger brother who is alone, so we take turns to visit him once every half a month, and help him wash and mend at home. Because we always go to Tianzhu Temple to worship Buddha and burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month, so every time It’s the eldest sister who comes in the first day of junior high school, and I come in the fifteenth day.”

"Then today is seventeen, did you come the day before yesterday?"

"Exactly."

"Have you ever noticed that your brother behaves differently than usual?"

"Different from usual? This... doesn't seem to be there." The third sister Liu said while thinking: "I came early that morning, and he had already picked up the burden and was ready to go out. He said he would send flowers to Shixifang. Then he came back at noon. Let's go to Tianzhu to offer incense together, and accompany him to sell flowers by the way."

"Then does he have any enemies?"

"No, no. Although my younger brother is in a small business, he is honest and trustworthy. He is always friendly to others and never argues with others. This adult can ask Mr. Zhang Baochang and all the villagers."

Iron Finger pointed to the wooden box on the table and said: "This is the savings your brother has hidden under the bed for many years. You can take it back later, so that you can arrange funeral affairs with him. In addition to the money, there are two other things. Come over and take a closer look, do you recognize it? Is it something from your house?"

When the sisters of the Liu family heard that their brother had still left savings, they were secretly overjoyed.The two rushed to the table to look at the hairpin and the talisman. .

"My lord, these are not original things of my family." Third Sister Liu said.The elder sister also nodded aside.

Tie Shou pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Then is your brother planning to get married recently?"

"Married?" Third Sister Liu sighed: "My brother is thin, poor-looking, and crippled. If a girl wants to be with him, he won't be single at thirty. Alas! Pity my old Liu family. Such a single seedling! Now, Hugh said that the family has been passed on, and even his life is gone...Who is so cruel...Woo..." She cried again as she spoke, thinking that the relationship between the siblings is usually good.

"My... my lord..." Suddenly, Big Sister Liu trembled and said, "Speaking of this marriage, I have one thing in mind. I don't know if it's the right way..."

Tie Shou said softly, "It's nothing, just take your time and listen."

"On the first day of this month, I visited my brother as usual. After dinner, I went to Tianzhu Temple to offer incense with him, and accompanied him to sell flowers at the gate of the mountain. He was very happy that day, and said to me, 'The Guanyin Bodhisattva in this temple It’s the spirit. It’s not in vain that I’ve been devoting myself to offering incense for many years. Therefore, I must come again and again on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Your third sister has been helping you find a marriage for so many years, but I haven’t seen you marry a wife until now.” He said with a smile, “Sister, it’s just that the fate has not yet arrived, and the fate has arrived. I really can’t push it away. This year is the right time.” I'm lucky.' I was overjoyed when I heard that, and quickly asked him if he had someone he liked. I also said that as long as I can marry a wife, it doesn't matter if the person is good. Unexpectedly, he said,' What’s more, she’s a big girl with yellow flowers.” I’m more happy to hear that, and if I want to ask more details, he won’t say anything, he just promised that no one can say anything now. He also said, “Anyway, good things are coming soon. , You will know when the time comes.' But now let’s not talk about marriage, people are gone, what’s going on!" Sister Liu shed tears again as she spoke.

Tie Shou and Wang Yi looked at each other, and both of them felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

Wang Yi comforted the two sisters with kind words, and then gave them the box of silver first.It is said that the silver hairpin and the talisman must be kept by the government as evidence for the time being, and will be returned after the case is solved.The two thanked the adults, took the wooden box and went out.

It was nearly dark when Tie Shou and his party returned from Longjing Village to Qingbomen Mansion.Zhizhou Xu Zhu was waiting anxiously in the back hall, and when he saw them coming back, he rushed up to greet them.

"Oh! Master Tie, you have worked so hard! I never thought that this would happen every day, alas!" He said while rubbing his forehead.

Tie Shou replied: "My lord, don't be in a hurry. If you come, you will be at peace. I am afraid that he will not move, as long as he moves, there will be traces to follow. According to the scene of Liu Si's family, today's case should be the work of Xueshancha. He learned yesterday that we captured He Fenggu and would definitely find Liu Si's line, so he went to silence him overnight."

Wang Yidao at the side: "Master Tie, I have a doubt. The blood camellia raped and murdered the woman should be a man, but why does Liu Si seem to have met a woman from the various experiences of Liu Si?"

Tie Shoudao: "The two of you may not know this. Junior Sister Lu accidentally saw Xueshancha committing a crime from a distance, and saw that although this person was a man, he was thin and thin. Look, he is good at disguise. So it is very possible to pretend to be a woman to lure and confuse Liu Si deliberately, and to deliver makeup oil to those target prey for him."

"Oh!" Wang Yi seemed to have realized something, and said again: "So, if He Fenggu hadn't murdered Liu Qiniang with evil intentions, maybe she herself would have become Xueshancha's next target."

"Exactly!" Tie Shou said, "I guessed the same way. Before I left Beijing, I read the files of the cases in the capital, and I saw that He Fenggu's appearance was very similar to the records of the victims in the capital. Similar, they all belong to women with exquisite figure."

"That's it!" Wang Yidao: "Although the girl Rongrong from Yihonglou has an average face, her figure is indeed comparable to that of He Fenggu. It seems that this kid has a hobby for girls who look like this."

Tie Shoudao: "Hmm! Judging from the characteristics of the crime, this person behaves perversely and is absolutely very human!"

Xu Zhu said: "Master Tie, what should we do next?"

Tie Shun said: "Next step, try to see if you can lure the snake out of the hole."

"Lead the snake out of the hole?" Xu Zhu and Wang Yi said in unison.

"Hmm." Tieshou said, "I'm not sure, but I might as well give it a try. From the conversation between Liu Si and his elder sister, I guess he met that so-called elder girl when he was offering incense or selling flowers at Tianzhu Temple. The Tianzhu Temple is full of incense, and there must be a lot of female customers coming and going to burn incense and seek marriage. I think that Xueshancha may go there to find prey. Since He Fenggu has been imprisoned, he will definitely find another one. Let's find a brothel with a similar appearance Girl, put on ylang ylang fragrance - because I guess this is one of his perverted habits - show up at Tianzhu Temple as a bait, and then set up an ambush secretly inside and outside the girl's boudoir, if he comes at night to commit murder Captured in one fell swoop."

"That's a good idea!" Wang Yi praised, "The day after tomorrow is the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Christmas Day on February [-], and it is also the most grand and lively incense market in Shangtianzhu in a year. At that time, almost all the men, women and children in the city will go there together. The brothel even hired floats to send the girls there for incense. Since Xueshancha has this habit, he will definitely not let go of this good opportunity to find a target. As long as our girls are covered with ylang-ylang fragrance, it will definitely be the best for him Then we set up an ambush in that brothel, relying on Mr. Tie's skill, as long as he comes, it will be impossible to fly!"

Xu Zhu also nodded again and again, "It's worth a try. The Yueya Building in the city is the government wine storehouse in Hangzhou. There are dozens of high-class official prostitutes. We can choose a suitable woman from them."

Wang Yidao: "The girls there are nice, but they are common people after all, timid and afraid of getting into trouble, if they panic and show their flaws, it will be a bad thing!"

"It's better to let me pretend!" Lu Mengyun suddenly said.

Now, the three men looked at her in unison, making her face turn red.

Tie Shou was taken aback, frowned and called out: "Little Junior Sister!" His tone was slightly different.

Xu Zhu didn't pay attention to Tie Shou's expression, and said overjoyed when he heard the words: "That's great! Miss Lu was born so outstanding, to be honest...hehe...anyone would find it pleasing to the eye, how could that thief miss it... Besides, it's martial arts Gao Qiang, when the time comes, he will surely capture that villain."

Tie Shou hesitated and said: "Uh...Master Xu, Junior Sister Lu...She is also new to the rivers and lakes...I'm afraid she doesn't have enough experience...If Hangzhou Prefecture has other skilled female arresters, we might as well choose carefully?"

What a shrewd person Xu Zhu is, he knew that Tie Shou didn't want his junior sister to take risks.Having known each other for so long, he has never seen Tie Shou evade when handling a case.He thought to himself, "This girl Lu is as beautiful as a flower and jade, so she must have a special relationship with Tie Shou! Now that he is unwilling, if I insist, I will not offend him. This is not appropriate."

"Oh!" Xu Zhu immediately made a gesture of disapproval, and turned to Wang Yi, "Wang Yi, do you have any other candidates?"

Naturally, Wang Yi was not as good as Xu Zhuji, and smiled wryly, "My lord, how can there be any female arrests in our mansion? There are not many in the whole Song Dynasty! Except Zhang Dahua, who guards the women's prison, in the mansion is a woman, and everyone else is a man." .As far as her big and thick appearance, not to mention the blood camellia, I don't want to look at it!"

Xu Zhuwei wondered: "That's right...this..."

Seeing this situation, Lu Mengyun stood up and walked to Tie Shou, and said firmly: "Senior Brother Tie Shou, instead of looking for those ordinary women, of course it is more suitable for me, a direct disciple of Zizai Sect. It is so easy to catch this villain , don't miss it. You don't have to worry, I will be careful!"

"Junior Sister! I... I promised Uncle Shi to protect you well..." Tie Shou said softly.

"How can it be so dangerous, when the time comes, you, senior brother, and all the brothers from Hangzhou Mansion will be there." Lu Mengyun said.

Wang Yi hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes! Master Tie, we will definitely dispatch the Hefu to ensure Miss Lu's safety."

As a result, it was inconvenient for Tie Shou to speak any more.As a result, everyone began to formulate an acquired action plan, personnel, and detailed arrangements.When the discussion was over, it was already late at night when the two of Tie Lu left the Yamen.

Tie Shou frowned slightly and didn't say a word along the way.When he arrived at the inn, he sent his junior sister to the room and asked her to rest early.Lu Mengyun stretched out her hand to hold her senior brother, looked up at him and said softly,

"Brother, are you mad at me?"

"I... didn't..." Iron Hand said softly.

"Liar...you're angry. Blame me for making my own way."

"Junior Sister! Do you know how cruel and perverted this blood camellia is? Not only is he powerful in martial arts, but also insidious and cunning. I am not sure that I will be able to defeat him, so how can I put you in danger? If something goes wrong, teach me... Alas!" Tie Shou said a little excitedly.

"Brother..." Lu Mengyun was very moved, she put her face on his chest, and said softly, "I know you love me... But there are no other suitable candidates in this Hangzhou mansion. If you are looking for those brothel girls, they are ordinary people after all. , in case something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a pity to let that villain run away at such a good opportunity? Let's catch him quickly, and your mission will be over. I... I also thought that you could follow me back to Suzhou as soon as possible go..."

Tie Shou sighed softly, wrapped his arms around Junior Sister's slender waist, and lowered his head to touch her cheek, but the worry in his heart did not ease at all.He knows that his plan is feasible, and he knows that judging from the current situation, Junior Sister is indeed the best candidate to act as a bait, but he also knows that he really has selfish intentions, and he doesn't want the person he loves to take even a small risk. The slightest danger.Tie Shou thought to himself: "Everyone says that if you want to be a good catcher, you can't touch your true feelings and you can't have a family. It seems that this is true. If you have concerns, care will be messy... When you get married with your junior sister, you can't do it no matter what. Let her do it again!"
