Chapter 30: Chasing the Thief (My Lady's Death Mystery 12)
"Am I blind? Am I blind?"
Hu Laosan was supported by his men. He kept rubbing his eyes and shouted.
"Idiot." Feng Erniang looked at the powder on his eyes, "It's chili powder and cartilage powder... Your eyes have been blind for a long time. Do you know who she is?"
Hu Laosan said, "Jia Ren's adopted sister."
"What?"
Hu Laosan repeated it again.
Feng Erniang was both angry and funny, "A fake, or a real person? Seven years ago, in Shi'an County, Li Huaixiu, the daughter of the yamen arrester."
What? Hu Laosan was completely confused.
Feng Erniang said again, "That person who was protected by the boss back then. You can go and explain to the boss yourself."

Six doors.
Zhou Qingyue, Wu Zhuo, and Yun Fei have returned to the Yamen. Wu Zhuo is teasing them about solving the case. "...Today is so exciting. Ah Bing is not the murderer. We have gathered together the men related to the Li family."
, there were five people who had an affair with her, but none of them admitted to killing Father Hu, and they all said that they had never been to Hu's house. Zhou Qingyue thought of a way, because Father Hu was a Taoist, we invited a
Let the Taoist priest do the work and let Father Hu testify against the murderer himself."
"Recognize it yourself? This is strange." Changan glanced at Zhou Qingyue, "How can you recognize it? Could it be that Father Hu wakes up?"
Wu Zhuodao, "No, the Taoist priest hung a bronze bell in front of Father Hu's official coffin, and asked five people to worship Father Hu separately and burn incense for him. If anyone is the murderer, after the incense is burned, the bronze bell will be
Ringing."
"What happened next?"
"The five people entered the house one after another, but none of the bronze bells made any sound."
"Haha." Chang'an rejoiced, "He's not the murderer."
Wu Zhuo smiled and said, "No, among the five people, one of them has ink on his palm, because we applied ink on the bronze bell. The murderer must be afraid of the bronze bell making noise, and will hold the bronze bell with his hand after offering incense."
Ling, so his hands were stained with ink, so the murderer was found. After interrogation, he admitted the fact of the murder. It turned out that when A Bing had a private meeting with Li, the murderer was also outside the door. He originally came to see Li's husband.
Yes, Mrs. Li returned to the house to report that her husband was not around, so he left. On the way, he turned back to Ms. Li’s house. It turned out that he also peeped at Mr. Li. After the murderer climbed over the wall and entered the door, he did not expect that there was someone else in Mr. Li’s house. He heard
From the conversation between Li and A Bing, he learned about Miss Hu's gift of Zhang Shizi's purse. In the early morning, he saw A Bing holding the purse in his hand after coming out of Li's house, so he had evil thoughts and wanted to ask A Bing for it.
When I found the purse, A Bing happened to go to Wei's house that day and put the purse in his own home. When the murderer found out, he broke into Ah Bing's house and stole the purse. He came under Miss Hu's window and startled Mr. Hu and started to fight him.
He accidentally killed Father Hu."
"So that's it." Qin Zhen said, "There are indeed twists and turns."
"You didn't torture the murderer, did you?"
Wu Zhuo glared at Chang An, "I didn't touch even a finger."
Chang'an pursed his lips and said, "Although you have solved the case, I told you to arrest everyone who had an affair with Mr. Li for interrogation. Otherwise, it is not certain whether it will be solved or not. Besides, our Huaixiu case has already been solved."
I finished my marriage earlier than you."
"Hey, where is Li Huaixiu?" Wu Zhuo asked.
"In the forbidden room."
As soon as Changan finished speaking, he was slapped in the face.
A figure flashed in front of them.
"Isn't that Li Huaixiu?" Wu Zhuo saw clearly.
When Huaixiu returned to the six doors as quickly as possible, it was already dark. She went straight to Sheng Lingrong's room, but saw no one.
Several people immediately ran out to check.
"Huaixiu, why did you come out?" Changan was surprised.
Huaixiu hurriedly grabbed Qin Zhen and asked, "Where is Sheng Changsi?"
Qin Zhen saw blood on her hands, "What's going on?"
Chang'an exclaimed, "Huaixiu, are you injured?"
Huaixiu said, "...I found one of the three thieves, Hu Laosan, and asked Sheng Changsi to send someone immediately. When it was too late, they ran away..."
"What thieves?" Chang'an didn't know, but Qin Zhen knew, "Those three pirates you mean?" Sheng Lingrong asked Qin Zhen to find information on the three pirates last night.
Huaixiu said, "Yes, the juggling troupe from the Western Regions is with the pirates, and they have to send people to Walan City, and... yes, Aunt Bai, she is with Hu Laosan
.”
Qin Zhen took a breath of air, "Sheng Changsi got the news that a batch of leather tents was shipped from the Ministry of War today, so Sheng Changsi went to Tongzhou."
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?" Chang'an looked at Qin Zhen and then at Huaixiu.
"Now...there are only a few of us in the Yamen." Qin Zhen said.
Huaixiu looked at everyone, "Let's go to Walan City first. The people in Guangqumen Courtyard have probably died." Then he looked at Qin Zhen, "Brother Qin, can you go to the Wuchengsi Military Camp to borrow someone?"
"What's going on?" Yun Fei asked.
Qin Zhen put it simply, "It's a bit complicated..."
Yun Fei was surprised when he heard this, "I went to the Wucheng Bingmasi Military Camp, I'm familiar with it."
"It won't be too late." Huaixiu called to Chang'an, "Let's go."
Chang'an was still a little confused and said "Oh".
"Wait a minute." Zhou Qingyue said calmly, "Li Huaixiu, are you sure the acrobatic class is still in Walanfang?"
One sentence suddenly reminded Huaixiu.
The Ministry of War, the leather tent, the juggling troupe, and Hu Laosan were not originally related, but they were linked together because of Aunt Bai.
Many things resurfaced in her mind.
Li Huaixiu's eyes widened fiercely, "By the way, I saw that the acrobatic class used five cars when they were discharged."
Zhou Qingyue asked, "Why does a small theater troupe use five vehicles to transport some juggling props?"
"you mean?"
Zhou Qingyue said, "Since the acrobatic class is related to pirates and the Xie family aunt, and today the Ministry of War's leather tent has arrived..."
"I understand. The acrobatic class went to Tongzhou. The five cars... are they transporting leather tents?"
Qin Zhen and Yun Fei also reacted, with solemn expressions.
Huaixiu said, "When will the leather tent arrive? How many people did Sheng Changsi bring? The other party is a pirate."
Qin Zhen said, "Just three government officials."
"Sheng Changsi is in danger."
"How do we notify Mori Choji?"
"Don't worry, Hu Yuzhu, Jiang Ze, and Weining happen to be in Tongzhou. If someone really wants to rob the Ministry of War's tent, Chief Sheng will definitely go find them." Zhou Qingyue said.
Huaixiu said, "How about this? After we go to the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to borrow people, we divide the troops into two groups. Sister Yun goes to Guangqumen Courtyard and Walanfang to see if there are any clues left.
I'm in a panic, something must have been left behind, the rest will follow me to Tongzhou immediately, the acrobatics class set off at the same time, it's almost two hours now, I hope we can make it in time."
"Okay, that's it."
Without saying much, the group set off immediately.
Wu Zhuo felt excited, "This is a big case."
Chang'an was worried about Huaixiu, "How are you injured?"
Huai Xiu said, "It's a scratch." Then he looked at Zhou Qingyue, "Thank you for reminding me just now."
Zhou Qingyue said coldly, "I'm not helping you, I'm helping the Six Doors."
Huaixiu smiled.
However, when they came to the Wucheng Division Soldiers and Horses Camp, they failed to borrow horses and men. It was not that the officer Zhao Shen whom Yun Fei knew did not give him face, but that he could no longer make the decision. The person who could make the decision was the Supervisory Army King.
Fang.
Wang Fang is a eunuch under Liu Jing.
It's so weird, it's easy to say it, but it just doesn't lend itself to people.
