The night breeze rolled, the lanterns under the eaves swayed gently, and the leaves of the paulownia trees on the side of the wall rattled for a while, alarming the resident birds to fly, and Gao Gao called several times.
At the door, Xunfeng heard the very light conversation in the room, and couldn't help but close his eyes, take a step back, and lean against the door.
Zhao Hao's color changed when he heard the words, and the corners of his lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound, just opened his eyes wide and looked at Bai Ji.
In the shadow of the lamp, Bai Zhu's face sank like water, sitting in danger, although it was late at night, he was still well-dressed, dignified and neat, and the white middle coat with a collar was as sharp and angular as ironed, spotless, and now he was even if he immediately entered the palace to face the saint.
But although Bai Ji's face was calm, his heart was also surging.
Because he understands that Zhao Hao only cares about the person behind this word, but he doesn't know what entanglements are involved.
For Bai Ji, this handwriting in blood is the mark left by the murderer, and it is more like a silent warning.
It's just because no one knows better than him the inside story of the mandarin duck murder case and the inextricable connection with this word.
Eight years ago, Cui Hou Mansion went to a banquet unintentionally, and the girl who was still unsteady in her walking led the way, thinking that it was just a child playing, who knows, the shadow of the flower branch moved into a human form, and it led him to the mandarin duck killing.
At that time, he was just the head of the criminal department, but almost all the people in the capital knew about the name of the mandarin duck, which made people panic and complain.
Even the emperor heard about this, so he naturally put pressure on the three law divisions.
Bai Zhu was ordered to investigate this case, how could he not say that the whereabouts of the mandarin duck killing were secret, and he was the best at disguise, except for the fact that his true face would be revealed when he committed the crime, others rarely showed his true face.
It was only because of one crime that she was unintentionally interrupted, and after the tolerance arrived, the victim woman still had a breath, and finally finally pieced together a portrait, but it may not be accurate.
I didn't expect to meet on a narrow road today, although this murderer was taken down.
But Bai Ji still felt extremely incredible: why a young girl could recognize the mandarin duck killing, and how could she lead herself to him accurately.
Not only was Bai Zhu puzzled, but even the mandarin duck killing couldn't figure it out.
When he was caught by Bai Ji, he looked at Yun Wei, who was tightly hugged by Cui Yin, with a fierce look in his eyes, and asked, "How did you find me?"
At that moment, Bai Ji looked at his eyes staring at Cui Yunjun, like a bloodthirsty beast eager to tear apart its prey, Bai Ji felt extremely useless, and couldn't help but kick him to the ground and faint.
After bringing the mandarin duck killing back to the criminal department, the news spread, and the people all over the city heard it, and they were all encouraged and jubilant, and that night, firecrackers rang out everywhere in the city for a long time.
The emperor even rewarded Bai Zhu for this.
But for Bai Zhang, everything has never been easy.
For the murderer of mandarin duck killing, catching him is just the beginning, and the most difficult thing is the interrogation process.
When interrogating the mandarin duck killing, no matter what punishment was imposed, he always did not say a word about the crime committed, but kept asking a word.
"How did you find me?"
Very obsessed.
It wasn't until after the prison beheaded the mandarin duck that for a long time, Bai Ji still remembered from time to time the expression of the murderer when he stared at him with a kind of calm eyes and asked this sentence with a smile.
There are great good people in this world, and there are also great evildoers, it is undeniable that those fierce and evil people will easily affect people's hearts, even if Bai Ji saw his murderer being executed, but when he thought of that seemingly plain face, he could still feel cold and cold.
He was in prison, and he never knew how many strange cases he had seen, how many great traitors and evildoers had been executed by himself, and he had never been open-minded, selfless and fearless, but in Bai Ji's view, such as "mandarin duck killing", it is like a demon crawling out of hell alive, the less the better, and so on, and seeing more, it will make people feel hopeless.
For example, when interrogating the mandarin duck killing, a criminal department who followed him was driven crazy by the arrest department.
That person is also a good hand and has old qualifications, and he has been following him to track down the mandarin duck and kill, but he fell short after he was arrested.
So much so that later, Bai Zhu strictly forbade others to contact the mandarin duck without authorization.
Bai Ji said, Zhao Hao held the arm of the chair and was silent for a long time.
Bai Zhu looked at him: "Isn't there anything else the prince wants to ask?"
Zhao Hao looked ahead, his gaze penetrated into the thin and cool void, and after listening to Bai Ji's question, he said, "What does this thief have to do with Cui Yunji?"
Bai Ji said: "The reason why I blocked this case and didn't allow it to be publicized is also here. ” He recounted how he caught the mandarin duck and killed him before, and said: "After that, when interrogating, he asked the most about how he found him. ” Zhao Hao's eyes flickered a little, and asked, "She, how could she know that person was hiding in Cui Hou's Mansion?"
Bai Ji said: "I don't know, she was still young at that time, I tried to ask her, and she just laughed." ” At that time, when Yun Wei was still a toddler, he would only say a few simple words, if Bai Ji asked, she smiled and grabbed his face with her hand, and then put her little hand away, and shouted: "Bang Bang is good-looking" and smiled innocently, as if she really saw an excellent scene.
Bai Zhu didn't know what she meant at first, but then she inadvertently passed by the flowers, and a flash of inspiration suddenly thought of the day when he picked flowers and beat people, and snatched her from the mandarin duck killer, at that time she watched the flowers flying, and she also smiled so brightly and lovely.
I see.
It's a pity that I can't ask anything else.
Zhao Hao swallowed his saliva and said, "Since the squire has interrogated the thief, what can the thief confide, such as how he is in the Cui Hou Mansion?"
Bai Ji has a resolute temperament, but when he thinks of the memories related to the killing of mandarin ducks, he inevitably frowned, and said: "When this thief was caught at that time, he was supposed to be sentenced to death immediately, but because he never left a living mouth in his crimes, naturally there were no witnesses, and he was not caught at the scene of the crime, and there was no physical evidence."
Therefore, it is very troublesome to interrogate carefully."
The only living hole left before was the woman in one of the cases, but she only managed to piece together the true image of the mandarin duck killing, and soon committed suicide.
Bai Ji has always looked down on weak people, but for that woman, it is rare to understand her choice, she has fought with such a demon, leaving countless scars on her body, her loved ones are tortured and killed in front of her eyes, and there are many people behind her who are pointing fingers, but a weak woman, how to live Therefore, when the mandarin duck was caught and killed, there was no witness.
Mandarin Duck Kill seemed to see Bai Zhang's predicament, and during an interrogation, he smiled and said, "You called the girl of the Cui family." ” Bai Ji was shocked, raised his eyes and saw that because he had just been tortured, the mandarin duck was covered in blood, but his two eyes were still fierce, staring at him and saying: "Didn't she lead you to find me, aren't you very strange why she recognized me, you called her, and I will tell you." ” How could Bai Zhu be deceived by him, if he followed this fang's words and asked, it would not be him who tried the case, but the mandarin duck who killed him.

Therefore, Bai Ji only said coldly: "The sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, since you dare to commit a crime, you know that there will inevitably be a day when you will be punished, you can see clearly, the person who took you down is me." ” Mandarin Duck Kill laughed twice: "Although you are good, you don't know anything about me hiding in Cuihou Mansion, my only flaw is in that girl's baby, you call her to come, when I see her, I will tell you everything about the case you want to ask." ” Bai Ji was angry in his heart, and snorted coldly: "You seem to have made a mistake, and now it is the official who is interrogating you, not negotiating conditions with you." ” Mandarin Duck Kill laughed and said: "Of course it's not to talk to me about conditions, but what you also think about is whether it is a female baby and exchange all my secrets, isn't it worth it?"
It has always been Bai Zhu who looks at others and sees through others, but at that moment, he feels that this murderer has seen through himself.
Bai Ji didn't say a word, and after he came out, he ordered his subordinates not to talk to Mandarin Duck Kill in private.
Bai Ji naturally did not take Cui Yunqi to see the mandarin duck killing, but started from his background, and searched for a lot of evidence little by little, but in the face of questioning, the mandarin duck killing was still fearless.
Until the time when he was about to be killed at the end, due to various punishments, this fang was almost no longer human, but he still gritted his teeth and smiled, not caring at all.
Zhao Hao said: "In this way, this person thinks that Cui Yunfeng revealed his whereabouts, so he has been unwilling."
Bai Ji nodded, and Zhao Hao asked, "But, how is it possible, she was still young at that time" Bai Zhu said: "Mandarin Duck Kill said, his only flaw is in Yun Wei, and I don't understand."
It's a pity that even though he exhausted all eighteen kinds of torture, he didn't confess a word. ” The two of them sat opposite each other, and the hour had already passed at the moment, and the night breeze blew in through the open windows and doors, and the aroma of the leaves mixed with the breath of the dark night, and there was a faint indescribable smell, as if it was a very bitter medicinal smell.
Zhao Hao didn't know what kind of breath this was, but it wasn't until he came to the Criminal Department twice more that he realized it later.
After a while, Zhao Haocai said: "I only understand what you mean now.
Since you personally supervised the killing of the mandarin duck, then the person who committed the crime today is naturally not him, but he left such an obvious blood word, he probably wanted to deliberately remind people to pay attention" Bai Ji said: "I handled the case back then, no one knows better than me, today's murderer, maybe there is some unknown relationship with the mandarin duck killing, deliberately leaving this trace, one is to show his identity, and the other is to come" Bai Ji didn't finish speaking, but Zhao Hao already understood what he meant: "You mean, this thief is targeting Cui Yunyun and will be unfavorable to her."
Bai Ji said: "Since he caught the mandarin duck and killed him, to the time he went to the law field, the only thing he couldn't get in his heart was the cloud mustache.
I specially left this word on the corpse today, what do you say?"
Zhao Hao couldn't sit still any longer, got up suddenly, took two steps, and stopped.
Bai Ji said: "Although I have told the prince all the past information today, I also have to remind the prince to pay attention to this matter, and this matter must not be revealed to others." ” Zhao Hao turned his head, and his face in the light shadow was also obscure: at this moment, Zhao Hao also remembered why Bai Ji took over the case, and why everyone was not allowed to leak secrets.
This case is so heinous, if it is confirmed that it is a reappearance of the sensational serial murder cases in the past, I don't know what kind of uproar it will cause, if the words on the corpse are spread again, I think that the mandarin duck killing was arrested in Cui Hou's mansion, maybe there will be some terrible rumors to spread.
The aroma of medicine in the air seemed to be stronger, and Zhao Hao seemed to have the smell of yellow lotus slowly rippling in his heart, and turned around and said: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart, thank you for being honest." ” Seeing him standing, Bai Ji swept his eyes away from the sword on the table, and asked slowly: "The prince doesn't need to be polite, I still have something to ask the prince, why the prince is running around all night, why he came to the punishment department in person, what does the prince know?"
Zhao Hao felt suffocated, and Bai Jiken made an exception to explain the ins and outs to him, and his intentions were self-evident.
Zhao Hao returned to the table, sat down again, thought quietly for a while, and finally said: "I don't know much, I just vaguely feel that this case is strange, and today is probably just the beginning." ” Bai Ji's eyes narrowed slightly: "What the prince means is that this is also a serial case."
Zhao Hao nodded: "After listening to what the waiter just said, I am even more convinced of what I think in my heart, the waiter is still, step up precautions." ” Bai Ji said: "Where did the prince know that it's just a guess."
Zhao Hao looked back at him: "Yes, it's just a guess." ” Seeing his resolute expression, Bai Ji asked, "Can the prince guess who will die next?"
Looking at each other, Zhao Hao smiled bitterly: "Shilang thinks that I will not know the prophet, or will I be psychic, I don't even know how many things will happen in detail, everything is just speculation, if you say it, it is not right, wouldn't it mislead Shilang." ” Bai Ji nodded, and asked again: "Then, this matter will really involve Cui Yunyu, she is in danger."
Zhao Huangfu stood up, and his throat moved: "Yes, most likely it will have something to do with her." ” Bai Zhu said: "What will happen?"
Zhao Hao was silent for a long time, and then Fang raised his head again and said, "It's not going to happen, I will protect her without hindrance." ” The young man stood in front of him, because he was running in the middle of the night, his hair became more and more scattered, the flowing sideburns hung down on his chest, the tail of his hair moved slightly with the wind, gently sweeping the unicorn pattern on his chest, and the robe was tilted up, half tucked at his waist, he looked untidy, but his eyes were bright, and his expression gradually calmed down.
Bai Zhu's eyes changed slightly, and he was speechless in thought.
"In addition," Zhao Hao turned his head and looked at Bai Zhu's eyes: "Although I don't know who the murderer is, I know that the squire will definitely be able to arrest him." ” Bai Ji raised his eyebrows, and then got up and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words." ” Zhao Hao said that, he took the sword on the table again, turned around and went out of the door, Bai Ji walked to the door, looked out, and saw that the young man's figure was like the wind, and he was disappearing under the corridor very quickly.
Suddenly, Xunfeng said: "Fourth Master, if this matter is really related to Brother Feng'er, how can it be good?"
The two of them were talking inside, Xun Feng vaguely listened to it, although Fang Cai Zhao Hao said that he would protect her, but after all, he was young, not to mention that even if he had a heart, Cui Yunwei was a person from Cui Hou's mansion, and he was often in the back house, if he said that he would protect her, how could it be so easy If it weren't for the suspicion array, the murderer deliberately wrote a " The author has something to say: The word "Cui" is naturally aimed at the events of the year, if this murderer has the means to kill the mandarin ducks, it is impossible to prevent it.
Bai Ji exhaled slowly and said, "What do you mean?"
When Xunfeng thought of Yun Wei, his heart was indescribably anxious, and he immediately said, "I want to go to Cui Hou's Mansion." ” Bai Ji looked at him silently for a while before he said, "I will send someone, but it can't be you." ” Xunfeng was stunned, a little disappointed, and wanted to ask again, Bai Zhu said: "You have followed me for many years, don't you know that the situation is chaotic?"
Bai Ji turned around and went back to the house, and when he sat down slowly, he remembered the scene that he had never told Zhao Hao before.
It was when the mandarin duck was about to be executed, Bai Zhiyin went to see him, looked at the murderer who had lost his human form, and said: "Before you die, you still have something to say."
The mandarin duck killed a smile, leaned over, and whispered to him.
Bai Ji raised his eyebrows, but the other party grinned at him and dragged himself away with shackles.
Today and tonight, Bai Ji didn't bother to look at the file in front of him, and for a while, his long jade-colored fingers swiped lightly on the table, vaguely in the shape of "Cui".
The night wind is getting stronger, and the plane trees outside are swaying and uproaring, as if a torrential rain has been sprinkled. gd1806102:
