Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 13

Yan Ziqin said that it was late and she was not allowed to go out, but Mingshu was originally a forensic doctor at the scene of criminal investigation, and it was inevitable that she would feel itchy after not doing her old job for too long. How can I resist this opportunity?

She thought Yan Ziqin underestimated herself, and said disdainfully, "I'm a man without a headscarf. I can stand upright with my fists and walk with my arms. I can't go anywhere!" After finishing speaking, she felt that the words sounded familiar, as if it was Pan Jinlian calling out Wusong. The lines at that time... Fortunately, "Water Margin" has not yet been written, otherwise how would Yan Ziqin look at himself...

Coughing twice, Ming Shu said again: "Do you still remember what happened in Tongling County Yamen? How is my knowledge and courage inferior to yours? I'm afraid I'll be your assistant when the time comes."

There is nothing wrong with saying this. After the Tongling case, Yan Ziqin no longer regarded his little lady as an ordinary boudoir woman, but more like an irreplaceable right-hand man. It can be seen that the talent of his daughter's family is not limited to female workers' poetry, but also Be able to warp and weft strategically, not to let the eyebrows.

Because it is a secret trip, it is inconvenient for too many people to follow. Gao Rui is honest and trustworthy, and is a local, familiar with the road. They rode fast horses to the seven shops located under the northern city wall.

"It's... quite deserted here." Ming Shu tightened her collar and murmured.

Yan Ziqin didn't speak, acquiescing to Mingshu's opinion.

Although the summer is not over, the night here is so quiet that it makes one's spine chill. Under the towering city wall, several cramped shops are next to each other like Siamese twins. From left to right, there are seven closed shops. Occasionally, a ray of light can be seen through the wooden door, and the dilapidated wine flag is slanted, and the wine flag is the only shop that is open.

This is an inn with only one floor.

"Come on, go in and have a look?" Ming Shu said.

Yan Ziqin stopped her, "Let Gao Rui go in and ask."

Ming Shu said disdainfully: "Qingping and prosperity, are you afraid that it will be a black shop?"

Gao Rui smiled and said: "Ma'am...ah no, young master, you have been in the capital for a long time, so you don't know that there are still many places outside the law. You should go and ask first, and it won't be too late for the two of you to leave." After finishing speaking, he turned around Walked into the door of the inn.

Ming Shu and Yan Ziqin stayed outside, she sat on a piece of bluestone boredly, watching Yan Ziqin paced up and down outside the inn, every time he started from under the wall of the inn, walked to the other end and turned around, the length of each step are roughly equal.

"What are you doing?" Mingshu didn't know why.

Yan Ziqin put his hand to his lips, signaling her to be silent, and said softly, "Remember a number for me, 130 one."

Mingshu wrote it down silently, but still didn't understand, and asked suspiciously, "What is 130 one?"

Before Yan Ziqin could answer, Gao Rui came out, stood at the dimly lit doorway and said with a smile, "Young masters, it's okay inside, it's quite clean."

This is the code they agreed upon, clean means safe, you can enter, if it is not clean, you have to leave quickly.

Yan Ziqin and Ming Shu glanced at each other and stepped into the gate. As imagined, the interior and exterior are just as dilapidated, and the spider webs on the beams are almost hanging down to the ground. Just now, I saw Yan Ziqin pacing up and down outside the inn. Mingshu felt that the inn was quite big, but it was not very spacious when she entered it. The door, the small door is the guest room connected by a long and narrow corridor.

A skinny man sat behind the counter and played dice. He looked like the boss. He glanced coldly at the three of them when they entered the door, and never looked up again.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, is there any water?" Yan Ziqin asked.

The boss pointed to a kettle in the corner, "Pour it yourself."

Mingshu picked up the kettle and shook it, it was already empty.

Yan Ziqin asked again, "Are there any rooms available?"

The boss said: "This store is full of vacancies. You can find them by yourself at the small door. One hundred dollars a night."

Mingshu's head is full of black lines, she really can't blame the poor business, how can she open a shop like this!She really wanted to go back to the door to see if it was Shangru Inn written on the plaque, and if the owner was that sour Lu Xiucai from back then, but the one in front of her was qualified as Uncle Lu.

In a blink of an eye, Yan Ziqin and Gao Rui had already entered the small door. When Mingshu followed, Yan Ziqin was walking in the dark corridor, Gao Rui followed behind, Yan Ziqin opened the door of the guest room to check from time to time, Gao Rui followed Probe in the back, and search in a serious manner.

The thirteen guest rooms are lined up in a row, all of which have the same layout, but they all have no windows, and can only be ventilated by the door leading to the corridor.Mingshu was tired from standing, so she moved a bench and sat at the bottom of the corridor wall, resting her chin and watching Yan Ziqin walking up and down, asking from time to time what she found, Yan Ziqin just shook his head.

"What are you doing!" A gloomy voice sounded, startling Ming Shu, following the sound, it was the boss standing in front of the small door with a gloomy expression on his face.

Yan Ziqin was still calm and calm, looking at the guest room which was too dark due to the lack of windows with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Why are there no windows here?"

The owner of the inn said: "Originally there were, but there are many people in the north of the city, and there are many thieves. The previous owner was involved in a theft lawsuit. I sealed the windows after I took over the store at the beginning of the year. I love it, and I can't leave. .”

After speaking, he dragged his heavy body back to the lobby.

Suddenly, Yan Ziqin seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked Mingshu, "Did I just tell you about 130 one?"

Ming Shu nodded, and he said again: "130 one...110 four...seventeen steps away!"

"What do you mean?" Gao Rui was also confused.

"Let's go, there is a problem here!" Yan Ziqin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he was still tense, and he informed the boss with his expression unchanged, saying that he was not used to the room without windows, and then he galloped away.

Back home, Yan Ziqin ordered Gao Rui to draw a sketch of the inn.Gao Rui followed the example, "When you enter the door is the lobby, the kitchen is on the right side of the lobby, and the corridor is behind. The thirteen guest rooms are all facing the corridor." He wrote and drew on the picture, but the handwriting was not flattering It's like the brush is leaking.

"Are you sure it's thirteen guest rooms?" Yan Ziqin said.

Gao Rui was puzzled, "It's obvious to all, it's thirteen rooms." Ming Shu also nodded in agreement, even a three-year-old child could count things, and he didn't understand why Yan Ziqin kept asking.

But Yan Ziqin picked up a pen and added a square next to the No.13 guest room, "It is impossible that there is another room that has always existed, but we can't see it."

Invisible room?How could it be possible? This is not magic. Suddenly, Mingshu remembered the two numbers Yan Ziqin mentioned—130 one and 110 four.

"Could it be...hahaha!" Mingshu clapped her palms and laughed, Yan Ziqin knew she had figured it out, and said with a smile, "It's not too stupid after all."

Now Gao Rui was confused, scratched his head and said, "My lord, madam, what are you talking about?"

Yan Ziqin explained: "I stepped outside the door of the inn to measure its width, a total of 130 steps long, originally just for the convenience of drawing sketches, but I always felt that it was a bit short when I entered the corridor. After measuring the steps, I realized that it was only 110 four steps long. , where did the remaining seventeen steps go? This is located in the south, and the walls are all made of bamboo, wood and mud. They are very thin, and they will not be as thick as seventeen steps. With a good camouflage, people outside will not be able to see how many rooms there are in total, and the distribution of each room is uneven, so No. 14 will be safe to see the invisible guest rooms.”

"That is to say, there is a room in the inn hidden in the wall!" Gao Rui was shocked.

"Moreover, there must be secrets hidden inside. The six adjacent shops may have secrets, and this is probably the reason why the Yu family tried everything possible to get these seven shops." Yan Ziqin said.

It was already midnight, and it was inconvenient to take any further actions. Yan Ziqin decided to send government servants to surround the seven shops in the morning, and tear down the walls to see what was hidden. But just after dawn, an even more shocking news spread. The city is full of wind and rain.

Wang Rang died, that is Wang Rang who came to complain yesterday. He died at the house of a friend who lodged. According to the person who came to report the case, the servant found Wang Rang lying on the bed when he delivered tea in the morning. He didn't respond to the call, and he didn't move. When the servant reached out, his body was still warm, and he was already out of breath.

Pressed the gourd and picked up the ladle, the matter of the seven shops was not over yet, the sufferer who reported the crime died first, Yan Ziqin rushed to the scene, even Ming Shu helped him tie up his hair in the carriage.

A group of villagers had already gathered outside the scene, looking in with their feet on their feet, and whispering.

Naturally, Ming Shu was most concerned about the deceased. She turned around and came to Wang Rang's bedroom. On the way, she almost tripped over the hem of the clothes that were too long. She usually didn't think Yan Zi was tall, but when she really put on his clothes, she grew a long hair. Big cut.

The first thing that catches the eye is the dead body lying on the bed. Different from the dead in other cases, Wang Rang's death can be said to be very peaceful, like an old man who died without any illness, as calm as if he was asleep, no wonder he was given tea The servant had no doubts at first.

"Probably died suddenly in a dream." Wu Zuo, who followed from the Yamen, murmured. He checked the body, but there was no trace of trauma.

"Impossible, how can there be such a coincidence in the world that you go to inform Yu's house during the day, and die suddenly that night?" Yan Ziqin frowned, which meant that he was already out of anger, "Check it out for me until I find out the reason. "

"If you can trust it, let me take a look." Ming Shu said while putting on her snow-white gloves.
