Mu Siyu did not disappoint them. In less than a quarter of an hour, he solved their problem and rescued the dying man inside.
The people of the Dark Law Division are all carefully selected, and they all have eyes on the top of their heads. They only obey Qi Xiao, their immediate boss. However, at this moment, the eyes of the Dark Law Division present when they looked at Mu Siyu changed.
They tried every means and invited the most famous carpenters and masters of mechanisms from several nearby towns, but no one dared to touch this thing, let alone crack it.
"Okay." Mu Siyu looked at Qi Xiao, "I think there's nothing wrong with me, right?"
"Just leave the rest to us." Qi Xiao said calmly, "But Mrs. Lu, please don't wander around and wait outside for a while. Qi still needs Mr. Lu's help."
The gambling house has been deserted for a long time. Judging from the traces left at the scene, there must have been a fight here, and everyone in the gambling house ran away.
Mu Siyu's fingers ran across the gambling equipment on the table.
Those people ran so fast that they didn't even take away any money.
Mu Siyu stood in front of the window and looked in the opposite direction.
Opposite was a rouge shop. There was a woman standing at the door of the rouge shop. When the woman saw Mu Siyu, she shrank back and closed the door.
The whole street was lifeless, with no one walking around, but she knew there were people in those rooms because noises could be heard from time to time.
"Who is it?" The man from the Department of Dark Law stopped the man who came through the door.
"My official name is Cao Dequan, the local county magistrate." The man in official attire said with a smile, "I heard that there are adults from the capital investigating the case here. I am here to take orders."
"You wait here."
Not long after, his subordinates came out and let Magistrate Cao in.
That night, everyone stayed at Magistrate Cao's mansion.
Magistrate Cao hosted a banquet for everyone, but Mu Siyu didn't want to socialize, so she didn't go. Mrs. Cao arranged for the food to be delivered to her room. After eating, she lay by the window watching the snow scene, waiting for Lu Yi to come back.
"Why are you standing here blowing the wind?" As soon as Lu Yi entered the door, he held her in his arms and rubbed her hands. "There is no good place to stand, but to stand in the wind?"
"The plum blossoms on that tree are beautiful..." Mu Siyu pointed to the plum tree opposite, "I was stunned for a moment. I didn't mean to stand here to make you feel bad."
After saying this, she laughed first.
Lu Yi pinched her cheek: "I think you did it on purpose."
"Didn't you drink?" Mu Siyu sniffed Lu Yi's body.
"Who dares to persuade Mr. Qi to drink?" Lu Yi laughed thinking about the trepidation of Magistrate Cao and other minor officials.
"It seems there's nothing wrong with being fierce." Mu Siyu said, "But if you show off your sharp edge, you will really be hated!"
In the night, the white snowflakes and the cold plum blossoms merge into one, and there is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the air, making even the cold winter snow a little more tender.
Lu Yi looked at the plum tree in the yard: "If you like it, we can plant it when we go back and plant a few more trees. Then next winter we can enjoy the plum trees at home."
"This is not a good time to plant plum trees." Mu Siyu looked at him, "Are you done with your work? When should we go back?"
"I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few days." Lu Yi said, "Master Qi's subordinate was assassinated for investigating a case. If it weren't for you, he would definitely not be alive. As an official of Dali Temple, I must stay when I encounter such a difficult case.
Come down and help with the verification."
"good."
Lu Yi and Qi Xiao were busy investigating the case, while Mu Siyu was taken care of by Mrs. Cao.
There was no progress in the case for several days. Mu Siyu was bored and ordered someone to order a pair of mahjong, and started playing with Mrs. Cao's servants.
It didn't take long for Mahjong to become popular in this small county.
The case between Qi Xiao and Lu Yi has not progressed yet, but Mu Siyu and Mrs. Cao are fighting each other.
At the county government office, Qi Xiao placed the recently collected evidence there and turned around to ask Lu Yi: "No matter how we check, there is always something missing. Take a look, what is missing?"
"The official bank originally sent to Wenzhou was robbed on the way. Afterwards, no matter how much I checked, I couldn't find any trace. It happened that there were more private banks of unknown origin on the market. The official bank was re-melted and made into private banks. That's not true.
It can be done by just a few people. After it is completed, some people will be required to spread these private banks to the market. The boss of the gambling house is an important witness."
"Can't catch him."
"This person likes gambling." Lu Yi said calmly, "Madam has recently created something called 'Mahjong'. This is a new way of playing. Gamblers have never seen it before, but now that they have seen it, they will definitely be attracted.
Come out. This town is not big. There used to be three gambling houses, but now there are only two left. Do you think he will appear in these two gambling houses?"
"You can give it a try." Qi Xiao finished speaking and looked at Lu Yi, "Mrs. Lu is really a strange person."
"She didn't even think that a little gadget she made out of boredom could help us investigate the case!" Lu Yi's smile was a little more sincere when he mentioned Mu Siyu, not as fake as usual.
Two days later, Qi Xiao's people caught the important witness named Wang Qi in the gambling shop.
Wang Qi fell into the hands of the Dark Law Department, and he confessed everything honestly within two hours. Based on Wang Qi's testimony, they found the workshop where private money was made and arrested a group of people.
Qi Xiao rode back from outside. For this case, he had not slept for two days. Now that he had caught an important witness, there was no need to be so anxious. He could recharge his batteries first.
"Sir, Zhang Cong came back and said that Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Lu were shopping. Suddenly, several people appeared and attacked and snatched Mrs. Lu and Miss Cao away." A subordinate found Qi Xiao and reported anxiously.
"Where are they?"
"Jade Street in front."
Qi Xiao galloped over on horseback.
"Where is Mr. Lu now?"
"Master Lu should write the case record at the county government office."
Jade Street. Mu Siyu blocked Miss Cao behind her and watched the assassins who suddenly appeared fighting with the people who secretly protected her.
"Miss Cao, find a place to hide." Mu Siyu said, "They are here for me, and they will not embarrass you, a little girl."
"Madam, you have to be careful." Miss Cao found a place to hide.
Mu Siyu pressed the switch on her wrist towards one of the assassins.
Phew! A silver needle shot out from his arm.
The silver needle glowed with black light.
That's right! It's a poisonous needle, but it's not that easy to kill.
Since she was imprisoned last time, she has carried a lot of things with her, which can protect herself at critical moments.
Someone was riding towards her.
Mu Siyu sensed the opponent's intention and shot the opponent's horse with a silver needle.
But that man was very skilled and managed to escape.
Just when she was about to shoot the silver needle again, a man leaped over and started fighting with the assassin who was trying to capture her.
