Zhan Zhao and colleagues are walking in Shasha

Chapter 2 On the Lonely Mountain

Qin Tong has been a demon king since he was a child.She has never seen her mother since she was born, and she has been with her widowed father, mischievous and mischievous.Her father didn't know how much painstaking effort and gray hair he had put in to discipline her, but Qin Tong was still cynical and disobedient.

Later, her father probably became discouraged, and turned a blind eye to his daughter's frequent disguising as a man, going out to cause trouble, teasing cats and dogs, and turning a blind eye to her.

But it was said that when Qin Tong was 12 years old, he became very playful, stole the long sword that his father hung on the wall of the study, and slipped to the mountains outside the city to play alone.She wandered aimlessly on the mountain alone, holding a sword that was almost as tall as herself, enjoying herself and being very happy.Suddenly, little Qintong heard a faint cry coming from nearby.

The 12-year-old Qin Tong is more courageous than an adult strong man. She often follows Guo Shuchen, the shopkeeper of Keats Pharmacy, who conducts an autopsy for the government office, and listens to this well-informed old doctor. Even his children and grandchildren are too lazy to listen. s story.When she was a child, she sneaked into the morgue without telling her father, just to see the difference between the dead and the living. After letting her father know, he gave her a severe lesson.

Right now, it was just the cry of a woman from the mountain, and Qin Tong, who was extremely curious, ran towards it immediately.Pushing aside the tall grass, she saw a crying little girl sitting on the ground, and a bewildered teenager standing beside her.

Immediately afterwards, the boy turned his head defensively and looked straight at Qin Tong.He is only about 15 years old, and his face still has a youthful look, but his body is already stretched, with long hands and long legs, so he looks a little thin and thin.

Qin Tong saw the sword hanging by his waist at a glance.

"Who are you?" The young man asked, Qin Tong didn't understand his dialect with Nanqiang very well, but was amused by his hoarse voice when his voice changed.

Seeing Qin Tong laughing for no reason, the young man was even more on guard, and clenched the long sword by his waist with one hand.Even the little girl sitting on the ground stopped crying and opened a pair of red and swollen eyes to look at the unexpected visitor.

Seeing this, Qin Tong straightened his chest, held the sword in his arms tightly and said to them, "What are you doing on this mountain?"

What she was speaking was not Mandarin, but the local idiot, but the young man understood, and replied with gestures: "My niece was injured, her foot was pinched by hunting."

"Can I see your sword?" Qin Tong glanced at the girl on the ground, but his attention was completely attracted by the boy's sword.

A sword, a real sword that belongs to a swordsman!And what child can refuse?

However, the boy immediately shook his head.Qin Tong couldn't help but his face darkened, and scolded: "Stingy, just take a look, are you afraid I won't pay it back?"

The young man hesitated and replied: "This sword was given by my teacher, and my teacher told me not to take it out of the sheath easily."

He probably knew that the other party didn't understand well, so he slowed down and stammered into Mandarin.After hearing this, Qin Tong didn't take it seriously, and said, "Will it be fine if I don't pull it out?" Seeing that the boy was still hesitating, she said, "Show me the sword, and I'll give mine too. Do you like it?"

The boy finally shook his head decisively: "No need, thank you for your kindness." As he said that, he bent over to hug the girl, but the girl struggled not to be hugged by him, and said something crying, because Qin Tong spoke quickly, and Qin Tong couldn't say a word. Never understood.

"There are still wild wolves on this mountain, don't you want to help?" Qin Tong taunted with some gloating, seeing the burnt-out young man who refused to lend her the sword all his life, he almost clapped his hands and cheered.

The young man was still unable to coax the girl, so he finally put on a straight face and said a few words sternly.Now the girl burst into tears, and at the same time pushed and shoved the boy vigorously, not asking him to come closer.

Qin Tong couldn't help laughing, she stepped forward, took out a small face figure from her pocket, and shook at the girl: "Hey, don't cry, what do you think this is?" She bought it from the market and made it into a girl carrying a lantern, which is very lovable.Sure enough, the little girl stopped crying, she opened her eyes wide and looked at the face, and slowly stretched out her hand.

Qin Tong stuffed the doughnut to the little girl, pushed the boy away, and squatted down on the ground: "Oh, your feet are bleeding!" She took out a handkerchief from her bosom, "Quick, wipe it off!"

The little girl took the veil hesitantly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Qin Tong tilted his head and glanced at the young man provocatively. The young man was standing aside with his sword in his arms, with a very colorful expression on his face.Qin Tong deliberately asked the girl, "Why don't you want to get up, but that stupid boy bullied you?"

"You!" The boy was a little impatient, "Why are you talking nonsense?"

But the little girl nodded and said: "Third Uncle lied to me and insisted that I go home, I don't want to go home, I don't want to go home!" She said and glared fiercely at the boy beside her.

Qin Tong didn't understand the authentic Changzhou dialect, but seeing the helpless look on the young man's face, he felt very happy, so he felt very happy when he saw the little girl, so he said to her: "My home is in the city at the foot of the mountain. Since we If you hit it off like this, why don't I invite you to my house to play?"

The little girl looked at the boy hesitantly. Qin Tong tilted his body to block her sight, and said, "You still have injuries on your feet. I'll ask my father to invite the best doctor in the city to heal you, or you will have scars." But what’s better? What’s worse, if you become a little lame in the future, you won’t be able to find your husband.”

The little girl really showed a worried expression, the boy sighed, pulled Qin Tong's sleeve, and said to her: "If that's the case, let's bother the little brother."

Qin Tong threw him away and snorted, "Who wants you to bother me? I'm doing it for this sister!" After speaking, remembering that the girl seemed to be the boy's niece, he couldn't help wrinkling his nose, regretting that he was late for nothing. generation.

However, they were still young, so Qin Tong told them to wait here while she went to the city to find help.When she returned to the house, her father knew that she had run up the mountain alone, and was so angry that he almost whipped her, and quickly sent someone to the mountain to bring the two children back.Qin Tong was not allowed to visit until the doctor came to give medicine to the girl's injured leg, and the two had settled down.

This young man is Zhan Zhao. This year he took his little niece Xia'er out to play without telling his elders. Unexpectedly, outside Shizhou City, Xia'er ran to the mountain after chasing a squirrel, and accidentally stepped on a hunting trap. Qin Tong.

The three met by accident, and they were all of the same age, and they quickly became acquainted with each other during Xia'er's recovery, but Qin Tong always liked to play tricks on Zhan Zhao every now and then.

One day, she told Zhan Zhao that she wanted to buy him a drink, but Zhan Zhao refused repeatedly, so he agreed.So Qin Tong took out an exquisite white porcelain bottle and two small wine cups from his bosom, filled each of them, handed one to him, and said seriously: "As the saying goes, meeting is fate, we drank this cup today, he The fate of the day is endless, and there must be a day to meet each other." After saying this, he raised his head and drank it down.

Holding the wine cup, Zhan Zhao smelled a strange scent in his nose, but it wasn't the smell of wine. He was surprised at first, but seeing Qin Tong drink it neatly, he dispelled his hesitation and raised his hand to drink from the wine cup.

The next moment, Zhan Zhao spit out all the "wine" in one gulp, so sour that tears almost flowed down his face.Qin Tong clapped his hands and laughed loudly. A passing servant saw it and hurriedly handed him water: "Oh my little ancestors, this vinegar is also drunk indiscriminately? Carefully pour your teeth!"

Zhan Zhao drank several mouthfuls of water, his face flushed red.Qin Tong's mouth was naturally sour, and he took a few sips of water, and said with a smile: "This is a specialty of this place, and it is used to entertain brother Xiongfei, brother, is he still happy?"

Zhan Zhao was speechless and just stared at Qin Tong.Qin Tong grinned, shook the bottle in his hand, and said, "I've loved drinking it since I was a child. Although the taste is a bit harsh, but I'm used to it, it's actually good."

From then on, whenever Qin Tong said anything, Zhan Zhao would have to think about it three times before he dared to respond.

Besides, in the living room right now, before Qin Tong stared at Zhan Zhao in amazement and said something, the gentleman above him asked, "Are you Qin Tong, the head arrester in Shizhou? Let me ask you, the antique dealer Huang Baibao was arrested." Killing a case, but it is up to you to investigate and determine?"

Qin Tong couldn't help being startled, and glanced at his father without a trace, but saw that his father was just drinking tea with his head down, as if he had never heard himself being questioned.She nodded hesitantly and said, "It's a humble job."

The old man stared at Qin Tong majesticly, and said, "Since that's the case, tell me, how did Li Qing, a frail scholar, stab Huang Baibao, who is strong and trained in boxing, to death?"

Qin Tong's scalp went numb, knowing that this matter was not easy to deal with, so he regained his energy and replied, "My lord, Huang Baibao had an argument with Li Qing on the day he died. Afterwards, the murder weapon and bloody clothes were found in Li Qing's house. exist……"

"I want to ask you, how can he, a frail scholar, kill Huang Baibao who can fight with several big men!" The old man slapped the table, "It's a good answer, don't talk about him!"

Qin Tong's knees softened, and he almost fell to his knees. This master had some momentum.She was upset and went to see her father several times, but she didn't get any response, so she had to bite the bullet and answer: "My lord, I have led a group of arresters to arrest this person. This villain is so vicious that he injured my brother." Just a few people were captured..."

"Ridiculous!" The master clapped the case again, and the teacup almost jumped up, "Then Li Qing's left hand was born with a disability, and he has no strength to restrain a chicken. How could he injure several of your yamen servants!"

Qin Tong couldn't help but feel angry when he heard the words, he poked his neck and said: "Everything said by the humble officer is true, if you don't believe me, you might as well send the brothers who are on duty that day to come, and you can find out if you ask!"

"Presumptuous!" The old man was furious, and Qin Tong knelt down in response with a "plop".

"I want to ask you how this Huang Baibao was stabbed to death, please tell me in detail!" After a while, the master looked at Qin Tong coldly and asked.

Qin Tong broke out in a cold sweat earlier, but managed to calm down and replied, "Huang Baibao was cut in the neck and died on the spot."

"Have you seen the post-mortem examination?" The master said in a strict tone, pressing every step of the way.

Qin Tong gritted her teeth and replied, "I've seen it before." She clenched her fists secretly, "This knife from left to right almost cut off Huang Baibao's head. It was done by a person with a very strong left hand."

"Since that's the case," the master asked coldly, "How do you conclude that Li Qing, who has a crippled left hand, is the murderer?"
