Introduction: Eighteen Women at the Gate of Dali Temple S
The thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Beijing .
At dawn, Lao He had already arrived at the gate of Dali Temple. He was a handyman of Dali Temple and wanted to clean the Dali Temple before others went to the Yamen.
Lao He took out the key, opened the large copper lock hanging on the door, and pushed open the heavy door.
Lao He came to the door of Dali Temple
A wall blocked Lao He. Directly opposite the door was a screen wall, and now there was another wall, a human wall, between the screen wall and the door.
More than a dozen S (corpse, the same below) bodies were neatly stacked and placed in front of the screen wall.
Old He was so frightened that he fell down and sat on the threshold. He was stunned for a long time, then he got up in a panic, and ran to Dali Temple Qing Yuan Chang's house to call for help.
Before Yuan Chang returned to the morning, Lao He rushed to the home of Shaoqing of Dali Temple Zheng Shaoyun. Upon hearing this, Zheng Shaoyun said nothing, and took Lao He and rode a fast horse to Dali Temple.
When the two of them arrived, a large group of people had already gathered at the entrance of Dali Temple. Fortunately, they were just crowding around the gate and looking in. After all, Dali Temple is an important place of 三法师, and ordinary people would not dare to enter.
When Zheng Shaoyun walked through the gate, he heard the onlookers talking: "So many S bodies, are they the evidence brought back from the case?"
Another said: "You can pull them down, the evidence should also be brought to Yizhuang Why are they piled up at the gate? I think it’s probably because they were grievances and they threw them into the Dali Temple.”
Zheng Shaoyun counted them, there were eighteen in total, all of them were women, aged ten. Between the ages of four and twenty-five or six. This case is a bit big, and I have to wait for Mr. Yuan to come before I dare to investigate.
At this time, other colleagues from Dali Temple also arrived one after another. When they saw the scene in front of them, they all stopped at the door. Some were timid and some were afraid of damaging the scene.
Zheng Shaoyun arranged for someone to squat directly outside the palace gate, and quickly pulled Master Yuan over as soon as the court came. He also sent someone to inform to prepare for . Mr. Yuan immediately checked S when he came back.
Just when Wu Zuo arrived, Mr. Yuan also came back from the court. He had been the minister of Dali Temple for eight years, and everything was calm. He had never seen such a battle.
When Yuan Chang went to court, he was mentally prepared after hearing the report from his subordinates, but he was still frightened when he saw the scene.
Yuan Chang was in a hurry to rush back after the court.
These people were stacked together and could not be inspected. Yuan Chang signaled his men to carry these people down and line them up, and arranged for Zheng Shaoyun to get the files and make them.
But when Zheng Shaoyun rushed back with the files and pen and ink, Yuan Chang said: "Take my name card to visit Mr. Zhang of the Ministry of Punishment and ask him to come over. This case will be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment."
"Ah! What happened in our Dali Transfer the temple's case to the Ministry of Punishment?" Zheng Shaoyun couldn't believe what he heard.
Yuan Chang looked at Zheng Shaoyun who looked surprised and said: "Hey, is there a problem?"
Zheng Shaoyun explained: "We and the Ministry of Punishment belong to the Three Law Departments, so why should the cases at our doorstep be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."
" It’s better to do less than to do more, it’s all for the imperial court, it’s the same for whoever does it?” Yuan Chang said with an indifferent expression.
Zheng Shaoyun was no longer willing and argued: "If even the cases that happened at his yamen gate are handled by the Ministry of Justice, where will the name of our Dali Temple be put? I don't agree."
"Oh, you don't agree, this Do you have the right to speak? Just because this happened in Dali Temple, we can't handle this case. This is called avoiding suspicion, don't you understand?" Yuan Chang explained to Zheng Shaoyun with a look of disgust.
Speaking of which, what else does Zheng Shaoyun have to say? Yuan Chang is one level senior to his official position. As the old saying goes, "Half a senior official level crushes a person to death." This is the reality and we can only accept it.
Zheng Shaoyun reluctantly took the name card and rushed to the Ministry of Punishments. He greeted Yuan Chang's family in his heart. In his eyes, Yuan Chang was just a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing. If it weren't for the support of himself and the Dali Temple brothers, Dali Temple would have been destroyed long ago. The punishment department trampled him to death.
Theoretically speaking, Dali Temple is only responsible for case review and reexamination, and generally does not participate in the investigation of cases. However, because of doubts about some cases reported by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple has gradually developed a group of personnel to investigate cases. These personnel are generally from Dali Temple. Deputy leadership and management.
Zheng Shaoyun is the deputy of Dali Temple, and he is responsible for the detection of cases in Dali Temple. Because this move quite doubted the Ministry of Punishment's ability to handle cases, the Ministry of Punishment was very dissatisfied with this.
On the surface, the Punishment Department and Dali Temple belong to the same Sanfa Division and are harmonious. In fact, secretly the Punishment Department has been competing with Dali Temple. Because the Punishment Department has a professional investigation and arrest organization six doors , Dali Temple's detective work has been suppressed.
Looking at Zheng Shaoyun, who was full of anger and unconvinced, he got on his horse and went to the Ministry of Punishment. Yuan Chang said with disdain: "You don't know the heights of the world, you are stupid."
Old Fox
After listening to Zheng Shaoyun's explanation in the Ministry of Punishment, Mr. Zhang felt This case was a bit unusual, so someone notified the Six Doors. After Ling Tengyun (the leader of the Six Doors) and Sanqi (the chief arrest officer of the Six Doors, responsible for the force of the Six Doors) arrived, they went to the Dali Temple Yamen. It was almost noon when we arrived.
Mr. Zhang looked at the pile of S bodies and didn’t really want to take over. Throwing his body at the gate of Dali Temple is obviously aimed at Dali Temple. Either he has a problem with Dali Temple, or he wants to seek grievances from Dali Temple. But if you create so many S-bodies at once, this is no big deal.
The Ministry of Punishments and Dali Temple are at loggerheads.
Yuan Chang also saw that Mr. Zhang didn’t want to take on the matter, so he argued: “It’s not that I don’t want to handle this case, and it’s not that I can’t handle it. Let me tell you, I’m here to avoid suspicion. It's because of my Dali Temple. In theory, I am also a suspect."
Mr. Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to him. This excuse sounds high-sounding, but in fact it is just a scapegoat.
At this time, Ling Tengyun and Sanqi were counting the heads. There were eighteen of them in total. There were no signs of fatal injuries on the outside, and their faces were pale and swollen. Sanqi was suspected of drowning, but judging from their appearance, the death time would not exceed two days, but The clothes of these people were all dry and did not feel damp at all. The specific cause of death will not be known until S and drug tests are conducted.
Also, these people's clothes are not only ill-fitting but also randomly matched, and many of them are even men's clothes. It seemed that they were all put on at random, and everyone was only wearing a single coat on the outside with nothing underneath.
While Sanqi and Ling Tengyun were inspecting the case, Mr. Zhang had already agreed to transfer the case to the Criminal Department. After all, it was the Criminal Department's responsibility to investigate and apprehend the murderer.
Because it involves subsequent drug and drug testing, all these bodies have to be transported back to the six gates. Citizens who heard the news and came to see the excitement along the way pointed at the roadside.
Before leaving, Sanqi flew up to the wall of Dali Temple and walked along the wall without finding any trace. So how were these S bodies transported into the Dali Temple compound?
When the eighteen bodies were transported back to the six doors, everyone in the six doors was also shocked. Everyone was curious about where such a big case happened.
After learning the truth, Xiao Bu Dian (a new member of Six Doors and a follower) asked in confusion: "How could Dali Temple be willing to hand over such a big case to us, Six Doors?"
Sanqi said with a sneer: "Willingly? That's not necessarily true. That old guy Yuan Chang is stealing it!" After saying that, Sanqi rolled up the right wrist sleeve of one of the S-shaped bodies and pointed it out to everyone, "Well, he probably saw this."
On the right wrist of the S body, there was a ball-shaped tattoo of red, green and blue. When Ling Tengyun and other six-door old men saw it, they couldn't help but exclaimed "Ghost Eye Cult."
The little one didn't know about "Ghost Eye Cult" What was going on? I pestered Bai Xiaosheng (technical consultant of Liumen, a know-it-all in Jianghu) to ask.
Bai Xiaosheng said: "Fifteen years ago, there was a rebellion by the Five Kings. After the rebellion failed, the Five Kings revealed that the mastermind behind it was the Ghost Eye Sect.At that time, the Ghost Eye Sect was very popular. Not only did it have a large number of believers, but it also had close contacts with dignitaries in the DPRK and China. If it had not been for the rebellion of the Five Kings, no one would have imagined that the Ghost Eye Sect would form a private party, collude with courtiers, and plot a rebellion. Afterwards, the imperial court began to send people to encircle and suppress the Ghost Eye Sect, but for some reason the siege was suddenly stopped, and the Ghost Eye Sect mysteriously disappeared and never appeared again.
The little boy smacked his lips after hearing this and said, "I was suddenly stopped!" ? There are people who can suppress even a case of rebellion. How much power is behind this? "
" So! I said that Yuan Chang is an old fox, and he probably saw this tattoo. "Sanqi said while checking whether there were "Ghost Eye Cult" tattoos on other people's wrists.
Sanqi's guess was right. When the Dali Temple handyman was moving these S bodies, Yuan Chang, who was standing aside, suddenly saw it. This "Ghost Eye Sect" tattoo shocked him.
Yuan Chang knew about the past of the "Ghost Eye Sect", but he did not expect that the "Ghost Eye Sect" would suddenly appear after disappearing for fifteen years. . At the same time, he also understood what this meant.
He immediately decided to throw out the case involving rebellion. If it was not handled well, the whole family would be executed. If it was handled well, the forces behind it would not let him go.
Yuan Chang would not let Zheng Shaoyun go. The old fox Yuan Chang, the Minister of Punishment
, made a good calculation: Although the S body appeared in Dali Temple, the people were not killed by Dali Temple. As long as he did not interfere in this matter, he had nothing to do with the "Ghost Eye Sect". No one can find it on his head, so no matter who asks, he can just pretend not to know.
So even if Zheng Shaoyun quarreled with himself at that time, he would not explain the reason, just to let everyone think that he did not know about it. It's related to the "Ghost Eye Cult".
After checking, there are two women with "Ghost Eye Cult" tattoos on their wrists.
Brothel?
Ling Tengyun was a little annoyed, and he was annoyed that he didn't see this at the time. Tattoo; annoyed as to why Mr. Zhang took this case; annoyed as to why Sanqi didn’t tell him when he discovered the tattoo.
Sanqi didn’t care about this and went to have his S examined with Zuo. The ancestor who used poison in the world) was also taken to see if he was poisoned. The test results showed that he was indeed drowned, and no signs of poisoning were found. This once again aroused Sanqi's doubts. Why are the clothes all dry?
The clothes on his body are very ill-fitting, and he only wears one outer layer of clothing. It looks like someone put them on temporarily. This can explain why the clothes are dry, but why are they already worn? The person who drowned changed clothes?
only wore one outer piece of clothing, and the inside was vacuum. This means that someone temporarily put on a piece of clothing outside while being naked.
Could it be that someone drowned while naked? Finally, they were stripped of their previous clothes, and then put on another piece of clothing temporarily, but what was the purpose of doing this? Why bother to do so when everyone is dead?
In addition, there are four of the eighteen people. Five of them had marks of whipping on their bodies, and several had marks of binding on their hands. What would be the identities of these people?
Except for the two people with tattoos on their wrists, the rest of them all looked to be between fourteen and sixteen years old, and their faces were generally pretty. So many young and beautiful women were gathered together. Except for brothels, it was really unexpected. There are other places.
But the inspection showed that except for the two people with tattoos on their wrists, the rest were still intact.
Sanqi and others inspected
I really can’t think of any other place where so many young and beautiful women can be gathered together.
Just as Sanqi was racking his brains, Wen Wenxiang (female, head of Liumen Intelligence Department) and Xiao Doan came to Liumen Parking S.
"Why are you here?" Sanqi was curious as to why Wenrouxiang came to this place.
"Boss Ling asked me to help determine the source of S. He is afraid that there are high-ranking women among them, so he should be prepared in advance." Wen Wenxiang said helplessly as he walked to the S heads.
"Hey, it's the draft! All of them are pretty good-looking, right?" Wenrouxiang sighed after seeing the faces of these people clearly.
draft!
Sanqi's heart trembled when he heard these two words. Yes, apart from brothels, only drafts can have such a scene.
If she is really the show girl of the talent show, then this matter is really not a trivial matter.
No, if it was a show girl, how could there be traces of binding and whipping?
Wen Wenwen went back and forth to look at the bodies, frowned and said, "Looking at the faces, some are from Sichuan, some are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and some are from Guangdong, Guangxi, . These people have quite a mixed background, aren't they?"
"You can even tell where it is, how amazing is it?" Sanqi joked.
"Hey, even if I tell you, you don't understand. The soil and water support the people, and the faces of the people in each place have their own characteristics." Wen Wenxiang said while waving her hands in disgust. She thought that a rough guy like Sanqi was not good enough. May understand these. After
finished speaking, he was about to take a pen and paper to draw a picture, when he saw the little ones staring at the pile of clothes on the table in a daze. For the convenience of checking, these people's clothes were taken off and piled in a pile.
The little one was staring at the pile of clothes. Suddenly, the little one put his nose up and took a strong sniff. This scene happened to be seen by Wenrouxiang, who said with disgust and helplessness: "Little one, I didn't expect it. You still have this habit, you should find a sweetheart."
"No, I don't. The clothes smell fishy, and it smells like pickled fish," the little boy explained hurriedly.
Sanqi also walked over and smelled it carefully. Sure enough, there was a faint smell of pickled fish. Maybe these clothes were scattered one by one just now, and the smell was weak, so they didn’t smell it. After they were piled together, the smell came out. .
Sanqi thought for a while and immediately walked out of the six doors.
Navy Warehouse
It was already mid-afternoon when Sanqi returned to Liumen, but he didn’t expect that there was someone waiting for him.
Zheng Shaoyun from Dali Temple is here. According to the concierge Lao Zhao, he has been here since Shen Shi and has been waiting until now.
"What kept Zheng Shaoqing waiting for so long?" Sanqi bowed. asked straight to the point.
Zheng Shaoyun returned the gift and said: "Hey, it's not because of those corpse cases, our Lord Yuan asked me to ask about the progress."
Sanqi was stunned, but immediately said with a smile: "We found the clue.
Zheng Shaoyun became interested and asked hurriedly: "Those S bodies came from the canal, that boat." Sanqi seemed to realize something at this point, and smiled awkwardly at Zheng Shaoyun and said nothing.
Zheng Shaoyun understood immediately when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Blame me, blame me, you shouldn't ask about this."
Zheng Shaoyun then invited Sanqi to have dinner at Wanhua Building before the two separated.
Zheng Shaoyun entertained Sanqi at Wanhua Building
Early the next morning, Sanqi was stopped by Wenrouxiang as soon as he arrived at the sixth gate. Wenwenxiang threw Sanqi a bunch of things and said: "One of these women can confirm the identity. She is from Zhejiang, but her family reported her missing three months ago."
Sanqi was very confused about how Wenrouxiang found out. Wenrouxiang pointed to the pile of things and said, "This little girl's family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Zhejiang. When they reported the crime, they not only reported it to the local government, but also reported it to the Ministry of Justice. The key was to attach a portrait, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find it. "
" That's right, Sanqi said to himself. He got on his fast horse and left the capital.
He is going to Chibi . But as soon as I arrived at the boundary of Xinyang , I received an express letter from the six doors in Xinyang. The express letter was forwarded by the local six doors in Xinyang. When everyone from the six doors goes out to handle cases, they will report to the local six doors and explain their itinerary. , to facilitate the transmission of messages from the headquarters.
The express letter said that General Xiangyang was murdered. Eyewitnesses said that it was a group of Jianghu people who committed the crime. Sanqi was asked to stop by and find out more about it.
"What a coincidence." Sanqi received the letter and sneered.
It was already late at night when Sanqi arrived at Chibi, where he was looking for a boat.
At this time, hundreds of ships of all sizes were moored at the Jiangkou Pier. The Jiangkou Pier was not only a civilian wharf, but also the residence of the Imperial Navy.
Taking advantage of the quiet night, Sanqi abandoned his horse and approached the navy ship station. Although the navy station was blocked by a tall wooden wall, it was just a decoration for Sanqi.
In order not to attract attention, Sanqi flew directly onto the parked ship. With the shield of the mast, it was not easily discovered by the soldiers patrolling the navy station.
Soon, Sanqi stopped on a boat. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and looked at it. Yes, it was this one. Sanqi walked around the boat to make sure it was correct, and then he was ready to leave. go.
But at this moment, Sanqi saw a group of soldiers coming out of the navy warehouse on the other side of the ship. There were about seventeen or eight soldiers, all with their hands tied behind their backs, and the soldiers escorting them were also soldiers in the same uniform.
What is this for? It seems that these people are pretending to be from the same army. Could it be that they have made a mistake and must enforce military law, but military law does not need to be enforced in the middle of the night.
These people slowly approached here, stopped next to the boat next door, and then began to line up to board the boat in an orderly manner, but their hands were still tied.
No, these people being escorted are not soldiers, they are women wearing soldiers' uniforms.
The distance between where Sanqi was hiding and the ship next door was only fifteen feet (about forty-five meters). With the torch in the hands of the escorting soldiers, Sanqi could see clearly.
After the women in military uniforms were escorted onto the ship, the ship did not leave. Later, the officers and soldiers responsible for escorting also got off the ship and returned to the warehouse. The entire naval camp returned to calm.
Sanqi got up, used Qinggong to get to the next boat, hesitated for a moment, got off the boat again, and went straight to the warehouse.
As soon as he entered the warehouse gate, Sanqi was dumbfounded. This was not a warehouse, but a prison cell. A huge warehouse was divided into dozens of cells, and each cage held thirty or forty girls. The youngest of these girls is only five or six years old, and the oldest is only twenty years old. Basically, they are separated by age, and different age groups are kept in different cages.
Sanqi exited the warehouse.
strange fragrance
It was noon the next day when Sanqi arrived at General Xiangyang’s mansion. General Xiangyang was the commander of the navy, and his mansion was in Red Cliff City.
In the General's Mansion, Sanqi unexpectedly met Bai Xiaosheng and Xiao Doan. "Why are you here too?" Sanqi was curious.
"Liumen didn't receive your reply. We thought you were far away from here and the matter was urgent, so we arranged for us to come over." Bai Xiaosheng explained.
Bai Xiaosheng and Xiao Bu Dian arrived yesterday and have completed the preliminary layout.
"The fatal injury was in the liver area. He was killed with a single knife. He was killed by the moat. He was wearing casual clothes when he was killed. He was killed at night five days ago. There were no witnesses." Bai Xiaosheng said the results of the early investigation.
After hearing this, Sanqi asked in confusion: "Didn't the express letter say there were witnesses?"
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, saying that he didn't know. "I don't know either. After I arrived, I asked the relevant personnel. They only admitted that they reported the matter to the Ministry of War, but they said they did not mention the witnesses."
"The claims made by the quacks are also false. "Yeah." Sanqi said, "What's going on? The express letter was sent by Liumen, and it was the Ministry of War that received the report. If this matter could be transferred to Liumen, the Ministry of War must have contacted the Ministry of Justice first. Why does the Ministry of Punishment have to handle this matter with six doors?"
Bai Xiaosheng heard the meaning of Sanqi's words, "Could it be like this? Someone has tampered with the Tang newspaper, or the Ministry of War is telling the Ministry of Punishment. "
Sanqi thinks there are two possibilities, but what is the purpose of ?
Sanqi and Bai Xiaosheng studied the case
"Is Chief S still there?" Sanqi asked Bai Xiaosheng, he wanted to see if it was done by Jianghu people.
Fortunately, it was the twelfth lunar month, and the S body had been left for four or five days and was still not rotting. Because the case had not been solved, the Ministry of War did not allow the S body to be buried.
Sanqi looked carefully at the body of General Xiangyang, and found that except for the fatal injuries, there were no other wounds. If the murderer is a martial artist, as a general, he should know some martial arts, and he doesn't even struggle to resist. This is a bit unreasonable.
"What is he doing running to the river at night in the cold weather?" the little boy said to himself while carefully looking at the size of the wound.
This sentence reminded Sanqi and Bai Xiaosheng that acquaintances committed the crime.
Only to meet someone he knew, he would run to the river alone on a winter night. Only someone he knew would make him defenseless and kill him with a knife.
Sanqi was about to praise the little one, but he saw the little one putting his nose to the wound and smelling it. He frowned while sniffing, "What kind of smell is this? It's not like perfume, it's a bit pungent, but it's a bit smelly." "Fragrant."
Ever since the little one smelled the fishy smell from the pile of clothes, Sanqi thought that this guy's nose belonged to a dog.
Sanqi and Bai Xiaosheng both came closer and smelled it, there was really a very peculiar fragrance. This actually pushed the little one to the right.
Bai Xiaosheng smelled it, frowned and recalled it carefully. He had smelled this smell before, and the same was true for Panax notoginseng. He had also smelled this smell before, and it hadn't been long.
Just as the two of them were thinking about it carefully, the little one exclaimed: "It smells like this on my hands and right hand too." As he said that, the little one started to smell other places.
Sanqi and Bai Xiaosheng looked at it curiously, but in the end it seemed that only the right hand and the wound had that strange smell.
Sanqi suddenly took Bai Xiaosheng's right hand and put it on his shoulder, while his left hand was pressed against Bai Xiaosheng's liver. Bai Xiaosheng instantly understood that this should be the action taken when General Xiangyang was killed. At the moment when
was killed, the liver area was the contact point between the murderer's body and the victim's body when the murderer stabbed with all his strength with the knife in his hand. At that time, the victim must have been surprised, angry and in pain and desperately grabbed the murderer's shoulder. Only these two locations were the two. human touch points. Then this strange fragrance belongs to the murderer.
Based on the height of the victim and the location of the wound, Bai Xiaosheng quickly deduced that the murderer was about five feet five (one meter eight) tall.
Although there are still many doubts, I finally found some clues.
"By the way, which one of you brought Lao Lu's medicine?" Sanqi looked at Bai Xiaosheng and Xiao Doan. He was talking about the "One Step for Self-Defense" prepared by Lu Wanfang, a medicinal powder that will make you faint if you smell it.
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, he didn't despise that thing, but the little boy took out five or six packets from his pocket.
Seeing so many people, Sanqiyi was not only surprised but also excited. "Let's go, I'll show you the show tonight."
Re-enter the Navy Warehouse
That night, Sanqi brought Bai Xiaosheng and Xiao Doan to the Navy camp at the entrance of the river again.
Sanqi led people straight to the warehouse. When they arrived at the entrance of the warehouse, Sanqi motioned to Bai Xiaosheng and Xiao Budian to wait in hiding while she went in first, taking two bags with her.
During half a cup of tea, Sanqi came out and signaled the two of them to go in. After entering the warehouse, Xiao Doandian and Bai Xiaosheng were shocked. First, they were stunned by the girls in this room. How could the Navy warehouse imprison so many young people? woman? Second, he was stunned by Lu Wanfang's move. Two packets of medicine and half a cup of tea knocked down more than 400 people. He was indeed an ancestor who played with poisons.
Sanqi didn't have time to pay attention to the confusion and shock on the faces of the two people. He poured some water from the water bag he carried with him to detoxify an older girl in the cage.
The girl looked frightened after she woke up.
"Don't be afraid, little sister, we are here to rescue you. Can you tell us where you are from and how you got here?" The little girl's mouth was very sweet.
The woman looked at the unconscious guard outside the cage and then at the fainted sister beside her. Then she looked at the three people in front of her and they didn't look like bad people. Then she said: "My family is from Sichuan. I went to the temple fair three months ago and ate it. After a bowl of hot and sour noodles, I didn’t know anything. When I woke up, I found myself on a ship, and then I was imprisoned here. "
The woman was imprisoned in the warehouse
"Abducted girl?" Bai Xiaosheng asked, looking at Sanqi. Said, Sanqi nodded.
"What did they ask you to do when they locked you up here?" Sanqi asked.
The girl replied: "We are not allowed to do anything, we are just locked up like this, but from time to time some sisters will be selected and taken away. Seventeen or eight were taken away last night."
It seems that she is talking about Sanqi The ones I saw being escorted onto the ship last night. "Do you know where they were taken?" Sanqi asked.
"I don't know about this, because the places they mention are different every time, but they are mostly in the capital." The girl recalled.
"Do you know who their leader is?" This is what Bai Xiaosheng asked.
The girl thought about it and said: "There is a big general who comes often. The general has a scar on the corner of his right eye and has a very fierce face. When he comes, the guards look like bulldogs. That should be their leader. . "
Sanqi and Bai Xiaosheng looked at each other, and they should be talking about General Xiangyang.
"Then have you ever seen any sister with this tattoo on her body?" Xiao Budian said as he took out a piece of torn paper with the "Ghost Eye Cult" logo on it from his bag.
The woman looked at it for a long time and said, "I've seen this thing before, but none of us sisters have it. It's only found on those women who come here to pick people every time."
"Half a month to ten days ago, here is Not only did we send away sixteen sisters, but two women with such marks on their hands came." Sanqi asked.
The girl thought for a long time, then nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, yes, about twelve days ago."
Everything clicked now, and suddenly Sanqi remembered something again and asked: "Is it these? Every time the sisters were taken away, they had to change into soldiers' clothes. "
" Yes, yes, yes," the girl nodded affirmatively.
Sanqi looked around at Bai Xiaosheng and Xiao Doan. Seeing that they had nothing to ask, he said to the girl: "Don't tell anyone what happened tonight. After we leave, you pretend to be asleep, and the others will be awake." When you wake up, don't say anything. I will find a way to rescue you within ten days. Do you understand?"
The girl nodded excitedly and said with tears in her eyes: "Master, you must be sure. He wants to save us. A hero told us the same thing last time, but it has been two months since he came."
Sanqi and the others frowned, and asked hurriedly: "Who is that man? "
" That was two months ago. I was just brought here. A hero wearing night clothes and a mask also said this to us after he knocked out the guard. It seems that she is looking for someone, someone named Xiaoshuang." The woman recounted what she saw that day.
After hearing this, Sanqi nodded, and after giving instructions to the girl, she left the warehouse. When she walked to the boat, she found that the boat containing the woman yesterday was still parked at the dock.
The three of them planned overnight
Sanqi signaled the three of them to get on the boat. After hiding, Sanqi went down to the cabin first to find out the situation. After coming up, the three of them murmured.
Chased, drew swords to help
On the way back from the navy camp, Sanqi said to Bai Xiaosheng: "Now it is certain that the eighteen women who appeared in Dali Temple are all abducted girls from here."
It turns out that , that day the little one smelled the smell of fish from the pile of clothes, and Sanqi thought that the place where these people were killed must be by the canal. There were only two villages drying fish by the canal, so Sanqi rushed there day after day. Go to those two villages.
was also lucky. When Sanqi arrived at one of the villages called Laoougou Village, the fishermen there were cursing. More than a dozen families of fishermen said that dozens of sets of clothes were stolen in one night. It seemed that this place was not far from the scene of the crime. Far.
So Sanqi pretended to be curious and asked about the situation. The group of fishermen said that all the clothes that had been dried on the fishing boat the night before were stolen overnight. The date is exactly the day before the S body appeared in Dali Temple.
So Sanqi asked: "Has anything happened in the canal recently?"
One of the fishermen immediately said after hearing this: "Yes, yes, the night before yesterday, a government ship sank in the canal, and in the end only one was salvaged. More than a dozen S bodies."
" Do you know where those S bodies are? " Sanqiyi immediately asked after hearing the story.
The fisherman smiled awkwardly and said: "I was fishing in that fork at that time and saw many officers and soldiers busy fishing for people. I wanted to go over and help, but I was shot away. , told me not to cause trouble, I saw the fished-out S body being carried to the shore first, and then they were all pulled away. I don’t know where they were pulled. "
" Official ship, do you still remember what that official ship looks like? "Sanqi wanted to find it from the boat.
The fisherman recalled Sanqi while drawing. After finishing the painting, Sanqi was stunned. Isn't this a warship?
Sanqi asked the villagers about the situation.
The next day, Wenwen Township told Sanqi those who were killed. After one of the girls reported missing, Sanqi thought that these might be abducted girls, and the number was similar to the number of people who fell into the water on the warship, and the time matched. But why were the abducted girls on the warship? Sanqi. Qi couldn't figure it out.
So Sanqi came to Chibi, where the navy camp was at that time. He hoped to find the same warship here, and then inquire about the situation of the sunken warship.
But he was surprised. He discovered the girls imprisoned in the naval warehouse and the women who were being escorted onto the ship by women disguised as male soldiers. At that time, Sanqi wanted to save people, but there were so many guards and there were so many trapped girls that it was difficult for him to go in and find out the information, so he gave up.
Later, he met Bai Xiaosheng and Xiao Dodian by chance at the Xiangyang General Mansion. Xiao Dodian took so many steps forward, so Sanqi decided to explore the Navy camp again.
After telling his own experience, Sanqi concluded: "Dali. The case of the temple girl's nude body has been basically clarified. General Xiangyang was involved in the abduction and trafficking of girls, and was probably the mastermind behind the scenes. He sold the girls abducted from various places to high-ranking officials in the capital at high prices. In order not to arouse suspicion along the way, he would These girls all changed into soldiers' clothes. Unexpectedly, the last ship transporting girls accidentally sank, causing the deaths of these girls. "
Bai Xiaosheng breathed out and said: "Now we need to find out why these S bodies appeared in Dali Temple, and who killed General Xiangyang. "
"I feel that the death of General Xiangyang must be related to the Dali Temple case. "Sanqi said with certainty.
Bai Xiaosheng also nodded in agreement, "Oh, by the way, how are you going to rescue those girls. "
Sanqi thought for a while and whispered a few words in Bai Xiaosheng's ear. Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said nothing.
Sanqi returned to Liumen four days later, but Xiaodian and Bai Xiaosheng did not Traveling together.
That night, Sanqi decided to go find Zheng Shaoyun. He felt that General Xiangyang's network of abducting girls might be related to the "Shake Three Shakes" captured half a year ago, and the Shake Three Shakes case was now under review, and he was in the Dali Temple cell. The house was closed, and if you wanted to see "Shao San Yao", you had to inform the young minister of Dali Temple first.
But when Sanqi arrived at Zheng Shaoyun's residence, he saw that the door was closed and the courtyard was dark. It shouldn't be at this time. It was dinner time, but no one was home.
Just as he was about to leave, Sanqi heard the sound of fighting in the courtyard. The sound of fighting came from an independent attic in the backyard. Qi tiptoed up to the attic. The door was closed. The situation inside was unknown, and she didn't dare to go out the window. Sanqi was ready to check the situation first, and then she dipped her fingers in water and poked the window paper.
Four masked men were inside the attic. Fighting around Zheng Shaoyun, Zheng Shaoyun was forced to a corner of the attic. After thinking about it, Sanqi covered up his face and decided to go down and help Zheng Shaoyun.
After all, he was from the Six Doors, Zheng Shaoyun was from Dali Temple, and the identity of the masked person was unknown. , when the news spread, I was afraid that I would lose face.
After being prepared, Sanqi broke the window and entered. With half a stick of incense, Sanqi killed three of them. The other one had already seen that the situation was not good and had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape.
Sanqi helped Zheng Shaoyun
Sanqi was about to chase him, but Zheng Shaoyun grabbed him. After looking around, he pulled Sanqi into the basement. It turns out that there is another floor under the attic.
"Thank you, hero. "Zheng Shaoyun cupped his hands and thanked him.
Sanqi pulled off his mask and said with a livid face: "You killed General Xiangyang, right?"
Zheng Shaoyun's face changed drastically and said: "How do you know?"
"The smell on your body is the same as the fatal wound on General Xiangyang's hand." It smells the same." Sanqi said. In fact, Sanqi didn't know that Zheng Shaoyun was the one who killed General Xiangyang before he broke in through the window, until he smelled the special aroma of Zheng Shaoyun while fighting side by side.
Zheng Shaoyun sighed and said: " I admit that I killed General Xiangyang. He deserves to die."
"Is it because he kidnapped a girl named Xiaoshuang?" This sentence was completely guessed by Sanqi, He just wanted to know who the other person was who sneaked into the navy warehouse.
Zheng Shaoyun was even more surprised by this sentence, "You, have you seen Xiao Shuang?"
Sanqi shook his head, but it seemed that he was convinced. The other person who sneaked into the navy warehouse was Zheng Shaoyun.
Zheng Shaoyun was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, I'll do it all."
Everything is to avenge his sister
There was a sister in Zheng Shaoyun's hometown named Zheng Xiaoshuang. She was abducted two years ago. She reported the case at the time, but the government never paid attention to it. , Zheng Shaoyun felt that he was living a useless life. He was a dignified young minister of Dali Temple, ranked in the third law department, and he could do nothing even if his sister was abducted.
So Zheng Shaoyun investigated privately, and he was lucky. The "Shao San Yao" captured by Liumen four months ago happened to enter the review process and was sent to Dali Temple.
Zheng Shaoyun was particularly concerned about cases like "Shake Three Shakes" and obtained a lot of information other than the facts of the case. "
Zheng Shaoyun learned from "Shao San Yao" that the biggest leader of girl trafficking in the world was General Xiangyang. Relying on his status as the commander of the navy, this man built a prison in the navy camp and specialized in purchasing human traffickers from all over the country. Send the girls, and then sell these girls at high prices based on their appearance and age.
So Zheng Shaoyun began a secret investigation of General Xiangyang and sneaked into the Navy warehouse many times.
He found that General Xiangyang mainly purchased himself through water. The girls were sold to various places, and were transported by his navy warships all the way. However, there would be inspections on the canals leading to the capital, so he put all the girls in sergeant uniforms to avoid inspection.
Zheng Shaoyun was in the navy warehouse. He didn't find his sister, but he decided to get rid of the cancer of General Xiangyang.
Unfortunately, General Xiangyang had a high position and was always surrounded by many sergeants. Zheng Shaoyun never had the chance to do it.
But just fifteen days ago, his own. His mentor found him and asked him to go to the canal to deal with a matter. When he arrived at the scene, Zheng Shaoyun discovered that what his mentor asked him to deal with was the sinking of General Xiangyang's warship transporting the girl.
Because the crash site did not belong to General Xiangyang's territory and there were many people, S bodies did not dare to be discarded at will, so Zheng Shaoyun could only find a way to dispose of these S bodies.
Zheng Shaoyun did not know the relationship between his mentor and General Xiangyang, and why he wanted to help General Xiangyang, but this gave Zheng Shaoyun a chance. As long as the case is brought to Dali Temple and made known to the whole world, Zheng Shaoyun can kill General Xiangyang. Zheng Shaoyun then plans to bring all the dozens of S bodies to Dali Temple to display them. But General Xiangyang. Before leaving, in order to prevent the identity of these women from being exposed, Zheng Shaoyun was very angry about this. He thought that these women should have dignity even if they died, so he stole dozens of sets from nearby fishing boats. The clothes were put on by these people and then transported to the Dali Temple Yamen. He also had the key to the Yamen gate.
But he did not expect that Dali Temple Qing Yuan Chang was so unbearable and incompetent that he pushed the case to the six doors. Zheng Shaoyun was at that time. He thought that Liumen's ability to handle cases was not inferior to his own. As long as the other party did not bend the law for personal gain, he would be able to find out the truth. He also thought about secretly giving Liumen some clues.
But what Zheng Shaoyun did immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of his mentor, who asked him why he wanted to bring those S bodies back to Dali Temple. Zheng Shaoyun argued, "There are too many S bodies and there is no way to deal with them. The original plan was to get them to Dali Temple. Then he dealt with it openly, and finally found a suitable reason to prevaricate, but he didn't expect to be pushed to the six doors by Yuan Chang. "
Zheng Shaoyun was questioned.
His excuse was reasonable, and it had become an established fact. Zheng Shaoyun’s mentor no longer blamed him. Just let him keep an eye on the investigation progress of the case. That's why Zheng Shaoyun went to Liumen to find Sanqi that day, just to get closer to Sanqi so that he could inquire about the case.
But not a day later, his mentor came with another order, asking him to get rid of General Xiangyang. This order excited Zheng Shaoyun and surprised Zheng Shaoyun.
Zheng Shaoyun didn't understand why his mentor did this, but Zheng Shaoyun couldn't get rid of General Xiangyang.
Zheng Shaoyun pointed out to his mentor that General Xiangyang had too many sergeants to attack, so his mentor gave him a letter and said: "With this letter, you can make an appointment with that guy."
As Zheng Shaoyun's mentor said, with that letter The letter easily invited General Xiangyang to the moat. After the meeting, Zheng Shaoyun took the life of General Xiangyang without saying a word. Zheng Shaoyun did not know what was written in the letter.
After hearing this, Sanqi thought to herself: Now the whole case is connected.
"Who is your mentor?" Sanqi asked, Zheng Shaoyun replied with a name, Sanqi sneered, this status is high enough.
"Who are these people who are chasing you?" Sanqi then asked.
Zheng Shaoyun shook his head and said: "I don't know. This is the second time since I returned to the capital."
Please help me again and leave yourself a way to survive.
"The person who is chasing you is arranged by your mentor. "Yes." Sanqi said indifferently.
Zheng Shaoyun shook his head and said; "Impossible, my mentor would not do this to me."
Sanqi sat down and said, "Maybe it's not your mentor's intention, but the Ghost Eye teaching behind your mentor."
"Ghost Eyes" Teach!" Zheng Shaoyun was also surprised when he heard this name. He also knew the history of this gang very well.
"You know why Yuan Chang wanted to throw this case away, he just discovered this." As he said this, Sanqi took out the papyrus with the portrait of the "Ghost Eye Cult" from his arms.
"This was found on two of the eighteen S bodies. These two people were the Ghost Eye Cult members who escorted those girls. So even if your mentor didn't want to take your life, it was the Ghost Eye Cult's intention behind it. " Sanqi explained.
Zheng Shaoyun thought back and said: "It was so dark at that time that I didn't even notice this." After saying that, Zheng Shaoyun thumped the ground in annoyance.
"The reason they asked you to kill General Xiangyang is to silence them, because they found that the S bodies of two Ghost Eye cultists were also mixed up and dragged to the six doors. After you kill General Xiangyang, they can only get rid of you." Peace of mind." Sanqi continued to explain.
Zheng Shaoyun said nothing, listening and analyzing Sanqi's words.
"Also, shortly after you killed General Xiangyang, our Six Doors received a very strange order, asking us to investigate the cause of General Xiangyang's death. The information from the on-site investigation was completely inconsistent with the information sent to Six Doors by the Ministry of War. , I didn’t understand what it meant at the time, but now I understand it. He deliberately led us six doors here, hoping to use our hands to get rid of you." Sanqi finally figured out his doubts at the time.
Zheng Shaoyun was also wondering just now why Liumen would intervene in the murder of General Xiangyang. Sanqi questioned himself as soon as he came in.
It seems that Sanqi is right, his mentor really wants to get rid of him.
Zheng Shaoyun sighed and said: "Okay, you have investigated the case, you can take me away."
Sanqi stood up and said: "I won't take you away, you can help me again and give it to yourself Leave a way to survive."
Zheng Shaoyun was stunned and asked: "Then how do you make a deal?"
Sanqi and Zheng Shaoyun planned.
Sanqi said with a smile: "It has been arranged for a long time."
"Why are you doing this? "Zheng Shaoyun was puzzled.
Sanqi smiled: "Because you put clothes on those naked bodies."
Sanqi then whispered a few words in Zheng Shaoyun's ear.
ending
Five days later, Prince Duanrui surrounded the navy camp in the name of investigating the corruption of General Xiangyang, and successfully induced a conflict between the navy officers and soldiers and the imperial guards. Taking advantage of the chaos, Zheng Shaoyun dug a tunnel outside the warehouse and rescued him. All the trapped girls burned down the navy warehouse before leaving.
This step was arranged by Sanqi and Bai Xiaosheng. As he said, he rescued those girls within ten days.
Ten days later, a fire broke out in Tianwei Taoist Temple in Beijing, and sixty-seven Ghost Eye believers died in the flames.
This step was done by Sanqi. That night Xiaobu changed into the clothes of an officer and entered the ship transporting the girl, and was then sent to the capital. After escaping, he followed the two escorting Ghost Eye Cultists and found them. Their hideout is the Tianwei Taoist Temple.
Lu Wanfang drugged all these believers to death, and all the elites from the six gates were dispatched to remove all evidence from Tianwei Taoist Temple. Then the trace master faked the scene to make it look like a fire had occurred due to improper use of fire.
In fact, this last step was completely unnecessary. The case ended up in the hands of Six Doors. They investigated the case in a decent manner for a month, and concluded that it was alcoholism and improper use of fire.
But something happened on the tenth day, but it was completely outside the 37th plan.
Zheng Shaoyun's mentor was assassinated, and the perpetrator was Zheng Shaoyun. After the incident, Zheng Shaoyun also committed suicide.
On the twelfth day, Sanqi received a letter from Zheng Shaoyun. It should have been sent before assassinating his mentor. There is only one sentence in the letter: "If I don't take away this scourge, you will never be safe."

Comment: I admire Zheng Shaoyun as a man [like].
