After a moment of confusion, Bai Yue said, "Do I look like I'm going to join a criminal group?"
"of course not."
"Then..." Bai Yue suddenly lowered his voice and leaned over: "You want to join a criminal group?"
But she and Jian Yu have not gotten married, and they will not get married in a short time. Even if Jian Yu commits a crime, to put it to the extreme, the nine tribes involved are not her.
Jian Yu pushed Bai Yue's face away: "What are you talking about?"
"Then what do I need a death-free gold medal for?" Bai Yue sat up straight: "Even if I don't have a death-free gold medal, I will help wherever I need to."
"It's not your problem, it's your family..." Jian Yu hesitated for a long time, and then said: "You are only your age, so naturally you don't know about this matter, and neither does your father. It's your grandfather's generation... there are some
matter……"
Bai Yue tried hard to recall the memories about his grandfather that he had extracted from the people of Jian Mansion.
But apart from the bits and pieces mentioned by Mr. Jian, there is nothing else.
Bai Yue calmed down and said, "My grandfather is just a doctor. I've never heard of anything special about him."
Moreover, when she was born and remembered, her grandfather had already passed away. Even if she had met him, she had not seen him before. Except for the fact that she saved Old Mrs. Jian and arranged this marriage before she was alive, there was nothing special about him.
"Old things, secrets of the imperial court, how did you hear about them?" Jian Yu waved his hand: "The reason why I tell you this is to put your mind at ease. Just forget it if you have heard it. Don't ask again."
Bai Yue smiled gratefully. Knowing that his grandfather might be involved in a big case that would bring misfortune to his granddaughter, I felt really, really at ease.
"Back to the topic." Jian Yu decisively changed the subject and said: "Back then, when Shi Tuxi committed a crime, it seemed that the case had been closed, but in fact there was a key thing that has never been found."
"What?"
Jian Yu said: "The details of the scholars hidden in the capital are divided into three levels. The first level is for the people of the Zhou Dynasty who have been drawn in and threatened for various reasons, including ordinary people and court officials. This part is the easiest to betray.
, can be used, but cannot be trusted.”
It was quite insightful, Bai Yue nodded.
"The second level was planted by Shitu. Most of the detailed operations are on this level. After finding their organization, they followed the clues and almost wiped them out."
"The third level is the most hidden. As I said before, you may have been an ordinary person in the capital for several lifetimes. You have been dormant for a long time, unless you move at critical moments. You are also not in contact with the upper line, so it is very difficult to find."
Bai Yue thought for a moment: "Have these people been found during the purge?"
"We found part of it." Jian Yu said: "To be precise, we found...half of the list. We followed the list to arrest and verify that there were no mistakes. However, the list was incomplete, and the people on it were all on separate lines, so they didn't know each other.
, the other half of the list cannot be checked."
"That means the investigation hasn't been completed yet." Bai Yueqi said, "Why was the case closed?"
"Because we can't continue the investigation, there are too many involved, and people are panicking. Some people have begun to publicly avenge themselves and enrich their own pockets." Jian Yu said seriously: "So to weigh the seriousness, at least on the surface, the case must be closed."
After thinking about it, Bai Yue concluded: "This is a severe crackdown. It's normal. As long as there is a confrontation between interests and interests, careful work will never disappear. The crackdown cannot go on forever, but we can never relax our vigilance.
Be loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Always be vigilant.”
This summed it up really well. Jian Yu suddenly felt that it was really easy to talk to Bai Yue. You said she was educated, but in fact she didn't have much, and she couldn't get out of it. You said she was a village woman in the mountains, who probably went to court.
, you can also have a verbal sparring match with those great scholars.
Bai Yue hit the nail on the head: "So this time, what we have to do is, first, find the murderer of Zhou Xiu Niang. This person is probably the leader of the fine craftsman on the upper level. Second, find the missing fine craftsman list. This list may not be there anymore.
, maybe there is what the murderer is looking for."
Jian Yu let out a long, long sigh: "If we were not an unmarried couple, I would have to invite someone like you to visit the thatched cottage not only three times, but even thirty times."
Bai Yue said vaguely, "If I hadn't memorized it, Sanbai Gu wouldn't be able to invite you."
Bai Yue pulled open the files in front of him: "I feel that since it has been so long, the most important thing now is not to read the files, but to look at the present. Instead of looking for flaws in the past, it is better to look at the clues now..."
Bai Yue waved his hand, and a mountain of files spread out on the table like smoke. Depending on which year he saw it, his eyes would be blinded.
When old cases are retried, past information must be read, but it is unrealistic for Bai Yue to read them all at the moment. He won't be able to finish them in four or five days, and the day lilies will be cold by then.
Jian Yu said: "Let's sort out the current situation first."
Now there are four lines, the death of the little bell, the bamboo forest and wooden house waiting for the rabbit.
Mi Wansheng is missing and his life and death are unknown.
Fang Ming, who was unaware of the situation, presided over the meeting.
The brother of Su Xibei who was kidnapped and held hostage.
Jian Yu said: "I have sent several groups of people out to look for Mi Wansheng, Fang Ming, and to investigate around Su Xibei's house."
But this was all about finding a needle in a haystack. When they found Xiao Lingdang, she had been dead for nearly two days. In other words, the murderer acted two days earlier than them. These two days were enough to kill Mi Wansheng first and then Fang Ming.
, hide your own people.
"Let's go to the Bamboo Forest Wooden House." Bai Yue said: "After much thought, if Xiao Lingdang is such a key person, there must be clues about where she lives all year round. Even if there is no list, there must be other clues."
After all, there is no other news now. Instead of sitting here waiting for news about Mi Wansheng and Fang Ming, it is better to wait while working.
Jian Yu stood up in response and told Liang Meng: "Get your horses ready and go to Xiaohe Village, and have people guard you on the way to the city. Once Mi Wansheng and Fang Ming come back, take them there immediately."
The bamboo forest wooden house now has no shortage of food and drink. Although it only has two rooms, it is like a paradise.
When looking for a cook, Liang Meng even found two singers on his own initiative, so that before Bai Yue and Jian Yu even got close to the wooden house, they heard the melodious sound of the piano and the melodious singing.
Bai Yue said in a daze: "I suddenly remembered that my uncle's original intention of staying in the wooden house was to help us stay and wait for the murderer to come again, so that he could be caught by surprise."
"Yes." Jian Yu said happily: "Uncle is very considerate."
"Yes, but now there are... two chefs, two servants, two maids, and two singers in the wooden house... Even if the murderer wants to go, he won't be able to squeeze in."
She has seen many people squatting and waiting for the murderer, but never in such a lively and public way.
