Chapter 152
The child was stunned, and grabbed his clothes tightly: "Huh? But, can you give me this too?"

He hasn't worn new clothes for a long time.

Chu Qing smiled: "The clothes will be returned to you when they are used up in the future, just for temporary use."

"Really?" The child's eyes lit up.

"Yes, brother will not lie to you."

The child was about to take off his clothes immediately, but was stopped by Chu Qing: "I'll take off the clothes after I buy them later."

The child shook his head: "No, no need, I'm dirty, and there's another piece of clothes inside. I'll wear new clothes for the New Year later...hehe."

Chu Qing had a sore nose inexplicably, Master Zhen was also a little stunned, looking at the child again, he was lifeless and a little more pitiful.

There are quite a few little beggars like this in this capital city. They were probably pitiful at the beginning, but they often steal other people's money bags and run around like rats. They can't be caught at all, but in the end there are many people who report the crime On the contrary, they were gnashing their teeth in anger, but now looking at this little beggar, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. If they weren't very hungry, they probably wouldn't do this.

And those who use these little beggars to do illegal activities should be damned!
Chu Qing touched his head: "It's okay, when my brother buys new clothes, I will take you to take a bath first, and after the Chinese New Year, my brother will buy you another one."

The child couldn't help shaking with excitement, but couldn't help but get red eyes: "Really?"

Chu Qing hummed: "Really. Now, can you tell your brother what happened at that time?"

The child nodded and sniffed: "Okay."

After the child said something, plus what Chu Qing guessed, he probably knew the ins and outs.

The child is called Xiaohuzi, and he is a little beggar here. He has been begging for two or three years. On the day Ding Enshu died, a tall man said that he would give him a new dress and some broken silver. .

But there is a request, let him pretend to be a poor young master who ran away from home to win the sympathy of a young girl, and let him take the girl to a place.

The child did not expect that the man had malicious intentions, so he took Ding Enshu there for clothes and money.

Ding Enshu saw that although he was dirty, he was well dressed, so he really had no doubts.

According to the address on the rice paper, I took the child to West Street while walking and asking.

It's just that when he got to West Street, Xiao Huzi saw that it was almost done, so he ran away directly, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen next.

He was just running around in the streets, and with the new clothes, he naturally wanted to show off to the rest of his friends.

Also said things.

I am in a hurry.

But the story of Ding Enshu was publicized the next day, because the little tiger had told the beggars earlier, and they immediately knew it was the little tiger.

Just say he's a murderer or something.

Little Huzi lived these days with anxiety and fear.

Then I met the yamen servant to inquire, and naturally after a little questioning, I found Xiao Huzi.

Before Xiao Huzi was taken by the yamen servants to recognize the appearance of the purse and buy new clothes, he couldn't help but said anxiously with red eyes: "Brother, is what I said useful?"

Chu smiled lightly: "It's useful, little tiger is great."

Little Huzi couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled innocently: "That's good."

Chu Qing waved at him, watched the man walk away, and didn't recover for a long time.

No matter who the murderer is, dragging such a young child into the water is a heinous crime and absolutely unforgivable!

Lord Zhen looked at Xiaohu, and couldn't help wiping his eyes. He had just become a father, and he was feeling sentimental, "Brother Yu, how did you know he would tell others? He was wronged by those little friends as a murderer too?"

Chu said softly: "Although he is much more mature than other children, he is still a child after all. Children can't help but show off when they get novelty things. As for others, they are all beggars. He suddenly wore If it’s so good, the other beggars will naturally be jealous, and he must have a bad life these few days.” Otherwise, he treasured that new dress so much, but it was still dirty, it seems that he was teased by other beggars, There are several scars on the face, which are not difficult to guess.

Master Zhen sighed: "These little guys are quite pitiful."

Chu Qing hummed, then turned her head: "Has Mr. Zhen considered helping them?"

Lord Zhen said "ah": "I think so too, but brother Yu, with so many children in the capital, it's hard to help."

It is impossible to allocate funds from above alone.

Chu Qing smiled: "If you don't need to spend a penny, you don't need to touch the treasury?"

Lord Zhen's eyes lit up: "Brother Yu, do you have a solution?"

Chu Qing nodded: "Well, I probably have some ideas. When the case is over, I will write you a detailed plan. You can follow what I said, and it should work."

Lord Zhen rubbed his hands together: "Oh, brother Yu, you really helped me a lot. You don't know, these little things cause troubles, but they are also very hungry. If someone can take care of their food, they should be more honest. , the capital is a bit more peaceful." The Ministry of Punishment alone can reduce a lot of trivial cases.

Chu Qing smiled, "Go back and look at the snakeskin bag."

By the way, I should get out the model of the murderer's footprints and compare them again to see the approximate figure of the murderer.

Master Zhen was also in a hurry, so he agreed again and again, and followed Chu Qing back to the Ministry of Punishment.

Chu Qing returned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and went directly to the evidence room to look at the snakeskin bag. Because it was inconspicuous, no one had touched it.

So this snakeskin bag is still the same as it was in the main hall of the Marriage Temple.

Chu Qing looked at the snakeskin bag over and over, and found that it was just an ordinary bag for holding things, and there was nothing special about the bag.

However, she still found some fine powder on the bag.

She scraped off the powder, and it was some blue powder.

There are also some unknown plants, which look like they were contaminated when the other party dragged and carried the snakeskin bag.

Chu Qing took the two things down separately and looked carefully, but couldn't see what they were.

"Brother Yu, what can you see from these?" Master Zhen poked his head out from behind her, trying to determine what these things were.

It's just that he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see it.

Chu Qing explained: "I don't know what these two things are, and I'm not sure yet, but since it's an investigation, don't let go of any subtleties, maybe there will be surprises."

Mr. Zhen was taught: "Brother Yu, you should observe carefully."

Master Zhen looked at Chu Qing and couldn't help feeling that such a talented person appeared earlier, those unsolved cases might have been solved long ago.

He immediately thought that Yu Xiaochu was Liu Guojiu's disciple, and couldn't help feeling sorry.

Uncle Liu Guo didn't seem to deal with the emperor very much.

Speaking of which, Uncle Liu Guo is still the emperor's biological uncle, and the reason for the stalemate in the relationship seems to be that Liu Shizi didn't know what to do, and he always targeted the emperor.

Later, it was rumored that Liu Shizi's castration was done by the emperor, and the relationship became worse and worse.

This Yu Xiaochu belongs to Liu Guojiu, is the emperor still willing to promote him?

Chu Qing didn't know that Liu Guojiu was already worried about her, "Master Zhen, can you find two senior assistants to work here? Or an old man who has more research on flowers and plants is also fine."

She is not omnipotent, for this place in the capital, people from here are still needed.

She was responsible for providing ideas, and it was up to Master Zhen to find out what these two things were.

Lord Zhen was taken aback for a moment: "Brother Yu, do you want to?"

Judging from the previous cases, Chu Qing found that although Mr. Zhen had no great skills, he was still a very upright person, so he directly handed these two things over to him: "You find someone who understands this business, study this What are the two things? These two things are standing on the snakeskin bag. If you can see these two things and check them again, you will know where the snake in the main hall of the Marriage Temple came from." Of course, It may also be a very common flower and plant, and it will need to be explored separately at that time.

As soon as Master Zhen's eyes lit up, he immediately understood what Chu Qing meant: "Alright, I'll let someone investigate."

"Well, I'll go see Little Huzi first." Chu Qing stood up.

Master Zhen immediately started to deal with it, Chu Qing went to the place where the yamen servant was guarding the little tiger, got the clothes from the little tiger, and asked the yamen servant to find out where he came from.

Based on Xiao Huzi's description, she roughly drew a portrait.

It's just that the murderer obviously disguised himself and put on a fake beard, and Xiao Huzi didn't even see his age.

Chu Qing asked people to check these things, but after seeing that it was already late, she went back to Beizhen Fusi.

Seeing her coming back, Zhong Xuan hurriedly greeted her: "Why did you come back so late? Isn't it very difficult?"

"Well, it's very tricky. The murderer's methods are very sophisticated, and he didn't leave many useful clues." The only harvest today is probably the little tiger and the row of footprints.

As for the person who released the snake, he might not be the same person as the murderer at all.

I don't know if it will be useful or not.

Zhong Xuan saw the tiredness on her face, and comforted her: "This is already very good, don't be too stressed, after all, it's the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, don't wear yourself out."

Chu Qing couldn't help laughing: "It's just the beginning, I'm not so weak yet. Is there someone from the Liu family today?"

Zhong Xuan: "Yes, here we are. If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Uncle Liu Guo asked Steward Liu to send an invitation card, asking you to take time to visit Liu's mansion in these two days. By the way, there is also the emperor... let You go to the palace tonight."

Chu Qing nodded: "Okay, someone from Liu's family will come tomorrow, you tell him I will go there at night."

Zhong Xuan agreed: "By the way, there is one more thing."

Chu Qing stopped and turned around: "What's the matter?"

Zhong Xuan: "The former head of the Liu family has already executed, so Liu Shui sent you an invitation card. Tomorrow is the first seven days. Do you want to pay your respects?"

Zhong Xuan knew about Chu Qing's affairs. The former Liu family master tortured and killed Chu Qing's master because of Zhao Kuiwu's order, and she also tried to kill the former Liu family master with the help of Uncle Liu Guo.

So he didn't know if Chu Qing would go.

Chu Qing thought for a while: "Let's go for a while."

What's more, the former head of the Liu family killed Master because of the orders of Zhao Kuiwu and Uncle Liu Guo, since he was already dead.

It is not too much to go to the incense sticks.
