Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Zhan Zhao searched the scene for a long time before leaving. After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, he asked Bai Yutang to complain: "Hey, mouse, do you think this case is strange?"

Bai Yutang poured a cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of Zhan Zhao: "En? How should I say it?"

Zhan Zhao naturally took a big sip of tea, then sighed deeply and said, "No, it seems to be solved, but in fact it is not solved at all, and it makes me even more headache, what is this? reason?"

"You have a headache and want to clear Mr. Su's suspicion?"

"Don't you think he's innocent?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while and said, "Mao'er...you seem to have a lot of trust in Mr. Su? Haven't you ever thought that the whole thing might really be done by him?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Mouse, your tone is starting to be sour again... You yourself said maybe, but come to think of it, you also think that Brother Su did not do this, don't you?"

"You cat..." Bai Yutang shook his head, and continued, "We don't have a deep friendship with Mr. Su, we just met by chance. Although we have heard about his life, you and I both know that he is not ordinary. Cat Son, you have to be careful, don't trust people too much."

"You seem like a long-winded old man."

"I'm doing it for your own good."

"Okay, I know... I'll ask after Mr. Gongsun cures the boss."

"There are no clues at the scene?"

Zhan Zhao let out another breath: "Except for the open drawer where the angelica was placed, there is really nothing special to discover. The murder weapon has also been inspected, and it is undoubtedly the knife. However, I always feel that the sense of violation is very deep, deep I don't even know where to start... If I hadn't cracked the code of the medicine fight, I really can't confirm that this incident is a serial crime like the previous two..."

"What about Mr. Su?"

"I've been detained according to the old rules. Hey, don't you think that I don't distinguish between public and private and abuse my power?"

"Pfft, why did it blow up all of a sudden..." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand, trying to stroke the cat's fur, but Zhan Zhao glared at him.

Zhan Zhao separated Bai Yutang's hand: "Hey, why did you forget the one-sword distance you agreed?"

"Cat..." Bai Yutang stood up suddenly, walked over and hugged Zhan Zhao who was sitting on the chair. After Su Liran was imprisoned, no similar case happened again and no one was killed, so what does that mean?"

Zhan Zhao broke free from Bai Yutang's arms, frowned and said, "Even so, there is no conclusive evidence that everything was done by Brother Su. Anyway, I will definitely investigate and find out!"

Bai Yutang nodded: "I hope it has nothing to do with him."

Zhan Zhao sat on the chair and looked up at Bai Yutang: "You seem very emotional, you don't look like you at all."

"I can't tell." Bai Yutang closed his eyes, opened them again, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Su Liran feels too weird, even if he really has nothing to do with this matter, he always feels that the future..."

"Maybe we will encounter something related to him."

Zhan Zhao waved his hand: "Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil, one thing is another thing, why are you worrying here for no reason, you rat, why don't you help me get some food if you have time, I'm so hungry !! I have been so busy that I haven’t eaten anything yet!!”

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, shook his head and smiled faintly: "I hope it's because I'm more thoughtful."

At the other end, Gongsun finally helped the person stop the bleeding and sewed up the wound. Seeing that the anesthetic hadn't worn off, he left the person in the house to rest and ran to Zhan Bai and the two to discuss it. Seeing that Zhan Zhao was gnawing on a hot roasted sweet potato, Gongsun was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Zhan Zhao ask, "Sir, the treatment is over? Ah... do you want to eat a sweet potato first? There is nothing to eat in the kitchen." , Yutang just went to the door to buy it!"

"...I heard from them that Mr. Su cut off his hand?"

Zhan Zhao smacked his lips, put down the sweet potato and said, "When Yutang and I went to the scene, there were only Boss Yang and Brother Su inside, and Boss Yang insisted that Brother Su did it."

"Then Mr. Su, did he admit it?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "He said it wasn't him."

Gongsun paused, then asked again: "Then what do you think about this matter?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, and said: "Sir, you used to seldom care about my opinion on the case. It seems that Brother Su and Mr. Su's friendship is really extraordinary!"

Gongsun shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm partial to him, it's just that this case, don't you think it's strange?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Actually, there is something I've always wanted to ask sir."

"You ask."

"The first two bosses of the pharmacy, were they dismembered and put into the medicine bucket after they died, or were they..."

Gongsun smiled approvingly: "This is exactly what I find strange. It is worthy of being a royal cat. It is true. To be honest, the first two bosses were indeed divided after their deaths..."

"This is exactly what I think is the sense of violation in this case. It seems that it is necessary to go to the scene to investigate and investigate carefully, and maybe there will be something discovered."

Gongsun nodded and said: "In another hour, that Boss Yang should have almost woken up. When he wakes up, he must know more details."

……

That night.

The imprisoned Su Liran was quietly leaning against one side of the cell with his eyes closed, when suddenly, someone used a secret technique to transmit a voice: "My lord, do I need to take you out of here?"

"No need," Su Liran slowly opened his blood-colored pupils, and also used the secret technique to reply, "Although it was a mistake, I really want to see how the people of Kaifeng Mansion can help me this 'innocent' The common people clean up their grievances, thinking about it, this should not be a difficult task for the famous mouse and cat."

"Yes, but my lord, are we still proceeding with the original plan?"

"It's ridiculous to shake a big tree. Luo Laoqi's people are really timid, so he only got three shops, and there are more than a hundred medicine shops in the imperial capital. You go and tell him, since this method can't make the climate, you can simply do it." , Cut off the source, and then secretly buy Hu Lancao, I will not give him too long time, let him deal with it properly, if he fails again, I will let him be the old ghost's companion."

"Yes."

After the voice disappeared, Su Liran closed his eyes again, and continued to rest with them.

The moonlight outside the prison is clear, and the silver frost is like a blade all over the place.

……

"Hey, my lords, I've said it many times, the murderer is the Chiba ghost, don't you bother to keep asking? Why don't you go and kill the Chiba ghost as soon as you have time for Fa Zhengfa! "

Zhan Zhao knocked on the Juque sword in his hand, and said with a smile: "Boss Yang, there are some things that need to be confirmed repeatedly to know the truth. Are you really sure that it was Su Liran who chopped off your hand? What was the situation at that time?" How? How are you two standing?"

"Master Zhan, you have asked me several times, but I have personally experienced being... hiss... cut off my hand," Boss Yang carefully held his severed hand, and said impatiently, "No matter how many times I say it again, it will be true." In the same way, I was standing in the cabinet with my back to him looking for the account book, and when I heard him calling me, I turned around, but he took a knife and cut off my right hand..."

"Oh? Then, may I ask whether Su Liran holds the knife in his left hand or his right hand?"

"Of course it's the right hand. You have asked me more than ten times, my lord."

Zhan Zhao clicked his tongue again, and called out to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, "Come on, you two will demonstrate what he said."

After finishing speaking, he handed Juque's scabbard to Zhang Long, and motioned him to use the scabbard as a murder weapon. Zhao Hu immediately stood in front of Zhang Long knowingly, and then Zhang Long held the "knife" in his right hand and slammed at Zhao in front of him. Hu swung his right hand, seeing that he was about to touch Zhao Hu's right hand, Zhan Zhao called out "Stop", then looked at Boss Yang and asked, "Boss Yang, look at Su Liran slashing at you like this, Do not dodge or dodge?"

"Ah? How could I not dodge, I naturally raised my arm to block it, but in the end, he chopped off my right hand!"

"Oh? That's it." Zhan Zhao got up, grabbed Zhao Hu's right hand and raised it, and then asked Zhang Long to lightly touch Zhao Hu's resisting arm with the "knife". "According to what you said, the tangential direction of your right hand should be From the outside to the inside, but, Mr. Gongsun told me, the tangential direction of your right hand is from the inside to the outside... Tsk tsk, Boss Yang must be, where is my memory wrong?"

"What? Oh oh oh, maybe... I remember wrongly, I was... so scared that I forgot to use my hands to resist, and I put my hands in front of me like this, and then..."

"Boss Yang." Zhan Zhao interrupted Boss Yang slowly, "There is one thing I forgot to tell you. Although the probability is very small, some people eat, write or hold tools...not with their right hand, but with their right hand. It's the left hand."

"so what?"

Zhan Zhao smiled: "Coincidentally, Su Liran happens to be this kind of person, so guess what, does he use his left hand or right hand when holding a knife?"

"..."

"Boss Yang, so now, is it convenient for Fang to explain the real story?"

Boss Yang was stunned for a moment, and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, my lord, to be honest, I really didn't see the appearance of the person who hurt me, but at that time, it was only me and that Chiba ghost in the shop, except for him, Who else?"

"Didn't see clearly?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "How could I not see clearly?"

"I felt someone behind me. When I turned around, I was cut off before I saw the person clearly. When I regained my senses, I only saw the Chiba ghost standing there. You said, if it wasn't him, it would be who?"

"Since you didn't see who it was at all, why did you provide a false statement just now to confuse our sight?"

Boss Yang smiled: "Hey, of course I want you, my lord, to bring that Chiba ghost to justice as soon as possible, so that he won't go out and harm others again!"
