In the current official business, Long Xingtu ignored personal emotions. She ordered the yamen runners guarding here: "Notify Xiao Ding and bring Hu Zi over."
"Yes!" The yamen runner immediately rushed to the detective's house.
Long Xingtu also explained: "Doctor Zhu, carry the two dead together. Zhang Shuban prepares painting tools."
"Okay." The two of them went to do their jobs.
In a short while, everything was ready.
Hu Zi was late and had a melancholy face, and no longer as lively and naughty as before.
When I saw two extra people, Hu Zi was stunned. The man was in the official uniform and had a clear identity. Another girl looked sweet and pretty, but her eyes and temperament were not easy to mess with.
Long Xingtu introduced: "Hu Zi, this is Du Mingcheng, the magistrate of Wuyang County."
"The grass people pay homage to Lord Du! I have been grateful to Lord Du for a long time. I have a fate to meet him today. I am really lucky to have three lives!" Hu Zi knelt down with his legs bent and bowed solemnly.
Du Mingcheng smiled slightly and helped him with one hand, "No need to be too polite."
"Mr. Xie." Hu Zi stood up, looked directly at Du Mingcheng boldly, and said sincerely: "I have seen many officials. Not to mention that they have seen countless people, but good officials are still corrupt officials. You can really see it at a glance. Master Du's eyes are clear and he must have a clear conscience, so he can win the follower of someone as knowledgeable as Master Long."
Upon hearing this, Du Mingcheng's face felt admiration, "This child has some insight and experience!"
Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows, "Ha, after hearing what you said, how could he look like a homeless beggar? He is clearly an official lady who is well-read in poetry and books!"
As soon as this said, Zhang Qing, Zhu Luzuo, Xiao Ding and others stared at each other, "What? Is this guy... a girl?"
Hu Zi was embarrassed and turned his back in a panic. He no longer pretended to be a hoarse male voice, revealing his originally soft daughter's voice: "Master Long, you will be successful, why do you expose my shortcomings in public? It's so annoying!"
Zhong Chu couldn't help laughing anymore and said, "Miss, do you know what Xingtu is best at? In addition to autopsy, distinguishing men and women, is her specialty! Especially when women dress up as men..."
"Ahem!"
Long Xingtu coughed heavily in time, stopping Zhong Chu from not holding the door. Her warning eyes fell on Zhong Chu's face, "Hu Zi, this is the murder of my junior sister Zhong Chu. Tongfu Inn. I need the help of my junior sister, and you need your cooperation."
"I've seen Miss Zhong!" Hu Zi turned around and formally greeted Zhong Chu.
But Hu Zi immediately reacted and exclaimed: "No! Master Long, I know you have seen through my woman's identity, but how do you know that I am from the official family?"
The Long Xingtu looked faint, "I not only know that you are from the official family, but also know that you are Qian Yanhe, the daughter of Governor Qian."
Hu Zi's shocked expression was very interesting, his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, and his eyes were motionless!
"Half an hour ago, there was a group of people from the Jianghu who believed that Long captured the daughter of Governor Qian Yanhe, and forced Lord Du to hand over the person in the street. Therefore, your identity and name were easily guessed." Long Xingtu further explained and took out the token and showed it to Hu Zi, "Do you know it?"
Hu Zi was surprised, "Auspicious money! It...how is it in your hands?"
"They said that Governor Qian told me that as long as Ms. Qian saw this thing, she would obediently return to Yuzhou to meet Governor Qian."
Long Xingtu stared at Hu Zi intently. She was very curious. Since Hu Zi was Qian Qingmin's daughter, how could he have seen a deceased person suspected of Ma Yicheng in his dream?
Hu Zi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I am indeed Qian Yanhe. This auspicious money was worn by me since I was a child. My father said that it was a gift from an old friend to ensure my good fortune and peace."
Long Xing’s pictures are sharp: “Who is the old friend? Why did you leave home and why did you come to Wuyang County from Yuzhou? Is it related to this string of money?”
"This is my private matter, I don't want to say it." Qian Yanhe clenched his fingers and his body was a little tense.
Long Xingtu put away the auspicious money and pressed him step by step, "You must confess! Miss Qian, I believe it is not a coincidence that you came to Wuyang County. It is not a coincidence that you saw the dead of the red mummy in your dream. You turned into a beggar and deliberately got to know me. You followed me from the Bai family to Tongfu Inn, and asked me to take you back to the yamen and volunteered to participate in the autopsy. All of this has your calculations and purpose!"
"You...you saw through them all?" Qian Yanhe was incredible.
Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows. Although his tone was light, his momentum was impatient. "Can you think Long is a false reputation and can someone lead him to the nose? Miss Qian, since I saw you at the scene of the case, I began to doubt you, so I used the trick to test you! Sure enough, this scene is getting more and more interesting!"
"What do you doubt me? I just concealed my identity." Qian Yanhe took a deep breath and pretended to be calm.
"Because it rained, the white bones hidden in the wall were exposed, and the humerus that fell on the ground was black black, and the black dog died after biting it. From the surface, other bones were both black black and yellow white. From this, it was inferred that there was no poisoning of the deceased before his death, nor was there poisoning after his death, but the black dog died, what does it mean? It means that the black black bones were dyed with poisonous weeds not long ago, so the black dog was poisoned to death! And this person is you!"
"What's the reason?"
"The abandoned inn with two people died, rumored to be haunted. No people dared to step in the past few years. When I was investigating the Bai family, someone ran to the scene to pretend to be a ghost and scared the guards Liu Saner and Xiao Ding. Then you suddenly appeared outside the Bai family's gate to attract the attention of Bai's wife by stealing leftovers, thus getting in touch with me. Then he followed me to the inn. You have a fair and tender skin and a superior background, but you pretended to be a dirty beggar! Let me ask, will people who have nothing to do with this case do these unreasonable things? You are still young and cannot be the murderer. Then, the reason for suspecting you to get rid of bone-poisoned dogs is valid!"
The Long Star Map's eyes were deep, as if it was pierced through all the secrets, making Qian Yanhe extremely nervous, but at the same time, it also completely subsided her worries!
She suddenly bent her legs and knelt down and kowtowed to Du Mingcheng and Long Xingtu, "Mr. Du, Master Long, and the little girl Yanhe knelt down and begged the two to find out the truth for the little girl, so that she could solve the girl's confusion for many years!"
Seeing this, Du Mingcheng said sternly: "Miss Qian, it is you who can help you! Only by telling the truth can Master Long share your worries!"
