Brocade clothing

Chapter 20 Surrender
The man took a deep look at her, and then his eyes fell on the two steamers that were opened again. I don't know how she did it, but the inside was still gurgling, and there were two skulls cooking inside, and the skulls were lifted open. , there is a piece of white flowers inside, dotted with a handful of young green onions, and the plump aroma of grass insects exudes, the fragrance is refreshing, but it seems that the visual impact is extremely strong.

Chu Qing's eyes were extremely bright, and she stared directly at the man. It was what he said to do, and she had already made it according to the regulations. Whether he could eat it was his own business.It's best to make him feel disgusted, and return her jade pendant to her quickly. At this point, they will drive on the main road, each walking on one side.

What Chu Qing didn't expect was that after the man was silent, he ordered the dining table. Yu Zufeng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he began to take out silver chopsticks and soup spoons in an orderly manner. , placed in front of the man.

The man cleaned his hands, went through the tedious etiquette, and then picked up the spoon, but he didn't eat the fat and tender grass worm directly, but scooped it directly towards the skull.

Chu Qing's expression moved slightly, and in the next moment, the skull that should have been very hard, but was like tender tofu, was easily scooped open by the man's spoon, and the tofu was as white as a bone. , in the porcelain spoon with blue stripes and white background, it was shaken slightly, and hot air burst out.

The man put it in his mouth expressionlessly, chewed it slowly, swallowed it slowly, raised his eyes, and then slowly looked at Chu Qing, whose face darkened, and said: "The tofu carving is good, and the technique is very good."

Chu Qing said: "..." She turned her head, and her heart was filled with fire. This guy's eyes are quite sharp, and she wanted to disgust him, but she didn't expect to be disgusted.

Yu Kufeng was stunned for a moment, why didn't he understand?
"Master?" How does he think what Master means, this is not a skull but tofu?But he clearly saw that Brother Chu asked for the two previous skulls. Although the ingredients were indeed a large piece of whole tofu, not all the tofu was shredded. Someone could carve the tofu so much like it... It turned out to be enough to confuse the fake with the real one, and it was true... At that time, he really thought that he was going to be a skeleton. Since he started cleaning it, he didn't dare to look at it again, and ended up getting confused instead.

"Ineffective supervision, go down and receive the punishment yourself." The man said lazily, and took another bite of the worm, which was as delicious as imagined.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Yu Zufeng opened his mouth, knowing that Chu Qing had tricked him, he glanced at her faintly, and stepped aside.

Chu Qing looked at him enjoying the food with a dark face, unwilling to do so.Feelings that she thought were disgusting, actually let the man enjoy a big meal, why is he so uncomfortable?
She originally made the skeleton tofu stewed with worms on purpose, which is enough to make people daunting, delicious but absolutely psychologically disturbing, but the man's calm attitude made her feel boring.

It was like hitting the cotton with a fist, and I was really weak.

The man was obviously very satisfied with what she made, but he only used some of it, so it was withdrawn.

"I also made meals for you, and you are satisfied with what you eat, can you return the jade pendant to me?" Chu Qing took a deep breath and asked.

"Yes." The man took the tea that Yu Kufeng handed over, took a sip, and spoke slowly.

"Then bring it." Chu Qing's eyes lit up.

"There is a premise." The man continued.

"..." Chu Qing's eyes burst into flames, and she suppressed them again, and said with a cold face, "What's the premise?"

"Looking for a corpse." The man's eyelids were closed, his pupils were deep, like a deep pool, and he couldn't see any emotions.

"What if I don't?" Chu raised his jaw slightly.

"En." The man didn't say half a superfluous word, he lifted the cup in his hand to the side, Yu Kuifeng followed respectfully, put it aside, without any nonsense, he took out the jade pendant from his bosom and was about to pinch it Broken.

"Wait!" There was a layer of cold sweat on Chu Qing's forehead. This was the only thing left by the master. If it was really broken, she would lose everything. These two people were torn apart by Twisted Bass and thrown out.After a while, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "You let me think about it."

"I'll give you three days to deal with the matter here, and follow me." The man looked over expressionlessly, his eyes cold and menacing.

"Not for three days!" Ah Bao's case is not over yet, and she hasn't visited the Liu family yet, so how could it be settled so quickly? "I have to deal with the matter of the master, otherwise I will never leave."

"Five days." The man stared at her quietly, seeing that Chu Qing's lips moved and wanted to refute again, he waved his wide sleeves, and Yu Kuifeng immediately wanted to crush the jade pendant again.

No matter how good Chu Qing's temper was, she was eager to vent her anger. In the end, her black eyes stared at the jade pendant, but she could only utter an angry word: "...OK."

When Chu Qing returned to the yamen, it was already completely dark. She walked all the way to the backyard, intending to visit Qin Butou and ask how Abao's case was going.Can you go to Liu's house tomorrow and check the master's case in an instant.She was absent-minded, so she didn't notice that the whole yamen seemed to be listless, and everyone couldn't lift their spirits, whispering and discussing in low voices.

When she arrived at the backyard, she just stepped in when she saw Qin Butou explaining something to a few yamen servants. She didn't come close. When Qin Butou finished explaining and the yamen servants came out, she nodded and walked in. .

When Qin Butou saw her, there was a look of solemnity in his eyes, and he waited for her to approach before saying: "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Chu Qing saw his expression clearly, and felt uneasy in his heart.

"Two hours ago, someone from the Liu family surrendered himself." Qin Butou said.

"Surrender yourself? Who is it?" Chu Qing suddenly raised her head, a stern look shot out from her eyes.But facing the heavy eyes of Shangqin Butou, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly: "It's not Mrs. Liu, is it?" How could she plead guilty so easily?Afraid to find a scapegoat because he saw that things were going to be exposed?
"It was Mrs. Liu's wet nurse, who said she killed Abao. She brought Mrs. Liu with her since she was a child, and she couldn't bear to see someone betraying Mrs. Liu, so she couldn't think about it for a while and even brought the hammer. There are also two young servants as witnesses, and this time there are all the witnesses and material evidence, I am afraid it will be difficult." Qin Butou said in a deep voice, seeing that Chu Qing's expression was not right, he raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder.

"What did Master Xu say? Don't you want to interrogate the nanny again?" Is it necessary to close the case so hastily?
"Nurse...including the two boys who surrendered themselves, committed suicide as soon as they entered the prison." Death without proof, this is the most difficult thing to do.

"..." Chu Qing clenched her hands tightly, she wanted to ask how the yamen is guarded?How can people die?Why not check again?
"There is no evidence to prove that Mrs. Liu is aware of this matter, so it is very difficult for adults to handle this matter. There is still a murder case to be investigated in the Yamen. You should rest well and discuss it in detail when you come back at night." Qin Butou seemed really anxious , only a few words of comfort to Chu Qing, and left in a hurry.

Chu Qing sat on the stone table in the yard and didn't recover for a long time.

A sense of powerlessness spread from the bottom of her heart, and she lay down on the stone table with a headache: Did she just admit defeat like this?She is not reconciled.

Chu Qing just fell into a drowsy sleep, and when she woke up again, there was a faint voice.

"...Captain Qin, what should we do about this matter? Three people have already died, which alarmed Mr. Fu Yin. Mr. Fu Yin asked him to solve the case within three days. If he can't solve the case, I'm afraid not only us, but even Mr. Fu will be arrested. Tired."

"Go and investigate, and ask Qian Wuzuo to inspect the three corpses to find clues! You have to find out if you don't eat or sleep for these three days!"

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now, but what if it can't be broken within three days?"

"It's not your business, do it first!"

"..."

Chu Qing woke up, sat up straight, and found that she was still sitting on the stone chair. The yard was dark, only among the mottled shadows of trees, a faint lamp illuminated Qin Butou and Bu Kuai not far away. face, and soon the catcher left.Qin Butou glanced around, saw that Chu Qing was a little surprised, and came over: "Why are you sleeping here?"

"What happened in the yamen?" Chu Qing asked, thinking of the dead man he had heard earlier.

"I've already asked someone to investigate, but are you still thinking about the Liu family's murder?" Qin Butou walked over and sat down opposite her.

"Yes, the wet nurse is dead, where's the twin sister of the female corpse? Did you find it?" Chu Qing said, probably the only one who knew the truth.

Qin catcher shook his head and said: "I can't find it. It seems that I have evaporated from Longmen Town. I have sent yamen servants to post notices everywhere. Once someone sees her, they will come to report. However, this opportunity is probably very rare. It's slim. You, don't have too much hope." After all, if a person wants to hide, there are many ways.Moreover, there is the most important point, if the twin sister has already been killed, I am afraid that even if it takes three to five years, it will be impossible to find her.

Chu Qing lowered her eyes, and there was a glint of darkness in her eyes. After a long time, she said in a daze: "I see, can the Liu family go to check again?"

Qin Qin shook his head: "No, because the murderer has already committed suicide, and there is no other reason to get the search documents if there is no proof. It is also very difficult for adults. I hope you can understand, little brother Chu."

Chu Qing shook her head weakly, but she was very unwilling to give up just like that.

Qin Tutou seemed very busy and left soon.Chu Qing sat at the stone table, looking at the mottled tree shadows in front of her. Could it be that she really wanted to find a way to enter Liu's house again?It's just that since the Liu family dared to frame her, there is no guarantee that there will be no second-hand preparations this time.If it is designed again after going in this time, I am afraid it will be very difficult to be good.

Then she can only find the second way, which is to find a way to find clues through others.

Chu Qing held her chin and nodded her face. The best candidate was Mr. Yu. He seemed to have a lot of background, but would he be willing?Chu Qing didn't know, what's more, if she begged them, she might need a bigger price to pay back.Unless it was a last resort, Chu Qing didn't want to go to that mysterious man.
