Chapter 13 Escape, puzzles and clues

Luo Changfeng died suddenly and inexplicably, which made all the heroes present dumbfounded. Zhan Zhao frowned and looked at Luo Changfeng's body carefully, and saw that he was bleeding from seven holes. He was obviously poisoned to death. question?Jiang Ping walked up, took out a silver needle from his arms and inserted it into the drink, and saw that the silver needle did not turn black.

"Not poisonous?" Bai Yutang was a little surprised, looking at Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao was also very puzzled.

After a while, people from Kaifeng Mansion arrived. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu rushed over with the yamen servants, followed by a sedan chair. When they reached the gate of the courtyard, the curtain of the sedan chair was raised, and Gongsun came out of the sedan chair with a small box.People in the rivers and lakes are whispering, is this the master of Kaifeng Mansion, the genius doctor Gongsun Ce?It really is a school of immortality, but why does it look so weak, is it really a scholar?

Gongsun walked up to Zhan Zhao and the others, looked down at Luo Changfeng's body, and frowned slightly.

"How did my father die?" Luo Changfeng's eldest son, Luo Ba, asked Gongsun with a look of grief and indignation.

Gongsun looked at Luo Changfeng's bleeding ear, shook his head, "He died of poisoning."

"What kind of poison is it?" Second son Luo Qiang frowned, "We drink the same wine as daddy, why are we okay?"

Gongsun ignored them, but looked up at Zhan Zhao, "Did he collapse after drinking?"

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, "Almost at the same time, when I put down the cup, it fell down."

Gongsun nodded, picked up the wine glass on the ground, looked at it, moved it to his nose and sniffed it, as if he was a little puzzled.

"How did my father die?" Luo Ba seemed a little anxious, staring at Gongsun, "Can you hurry up?!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang on the side both frowned, but he had just lost his father, so the grief was understandable, so he didn't bother with him. Gongsun looked up at him and said, "Don't worry, where's the wine you're drinking? Bring it to me." have a look."

"Here." The butler at the side hastily brought a jar of wine and said, "All the wine on this table is poured out of this jar.

"Yes." Luo Qin, who was still crying beside Luo Changfeng, nodded, "I poured the wine for daddy and brothers.

Gongsun nodded, took the wine jar, smelled it, sighed slightly, and said, "There is nothing wrong with wine, poison is not put in the wine.

"Then how did he get poisoned?" Bai Yutang was a little puzzled.

"Bring the corpse back, I'll find out after checking it." Gongsun said, and ordered the yamen servants to carry the corpse back.

"Wait!" Luo Ba frowned, and said, "You want to carry my father's body back to the government? That's impossible!"

Gongsun was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao said to Luo Ba, "Mr. Luo, since a homicide case occurred within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion, it is natural that Kaifeng Mansion should try it."

"No need, it's the world's business." Luo Ba gave Zhan Zhao a cold look, "Master Zhan came here uninvited, this time it happened suddenly again, I'm sorry I can't trust your people from the government."

Bai Yutang felt a little harsh when he heard his words, but felt that Zhan Zhao gently tugged him, so he suppressed his anger, and heard Zhan Zhao ask, "The world is a matter of the world? So, Mr. Luo is sure that your father died of A vendetta?"

The panic that flashed in Luo Ba's eyes did not escape Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's eyes. They looked at each other, it seemed that Luo Ba knew something.

"Anyway, our brothers will definitely avenge my father!" After finishing speaking, Luo Ba bowed his hands to the Jianghu people who came to celebrate his birthday, "Seniors, I was going to celebrate my father washing his hands today, but I didn't expect this kind of misfortune to happen. ..." As he spoke, his voice was still choked with sobs, "Everyone, please go back, I'm neglecting you." After speaking, he took his family to collect Luo Changfeng's body and prepare for the funeral.

The heroes of the rivers and lakes looked at each other in blank dismay, they all shook their heads and slowly dispersed.

Zhan Zhao asked Wang Chao Ma Han to send Gongsun Ce back first, while he and Bai Yutang bid farewell to the Four Rats and returned to the Changfeng Escort Bureau. The two slipped quietly outside the courtyard wall in the backyard.

"There must be something wrong with these two brothers." Bai Yutang said, "Go in and listen to what they have to say."

Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly, and said, "Alas... I was also spoiled by you, so I just do some things to listen to other people's corners."

"Dead cat." Bai Yutang glared at Zhan Zhao, "Didn't you let those two brothers go to listen to the corner, and you still blame me!"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang, seeing him jumping in anger, he flew into the backyard in satisfaction, Bai Yutang had no choice but to follow.

The two quickly found the mourning hall with the open door in the backyard, and the servants were busy arranging it. Luo Qin was lying beside Luo Changfeng, crying with a group of female relatives, but the two Luo brothers could not be seen.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang jumped up to the roof, and saw that a room in the East Kuai Courtyard was lit. The two of them flew over and landed gently on the roof. Lifting it, raising his hand to catch it... Looking up, Bai Yutang was looking at him, his eyes seemed to say, "Mao'er, you are so skillful."

Zhan Zhao glared at him, the two put away their jokes and looked inside.

I saw that the Luo brothers were indeed inside, and the most interesting thing was that the two of them were actually packing up, putting all the valuable things in the study on the table, ready to pack.

"Brother, why don't you ask Zhan Zhao to help investigate this case? The Snake Eagle Sect is so powerful, so you just call the people from Kaifeng Mansion to handle it." Luo Qiang asked while putting things away.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, surprised—Snake Eagle Cult?

"You are stupid." Luo Ba gave his brother a blank look, "If Zhan Zhao and the others investigate this case, our identities will be exposed. As long as you take off Daddy's clothes, the snake and eagle logo will be able to hide the truth." Who! Luo Changfeng of the Changfeng Escort is actually a member of the Snake Eagle Sect, so is there any place for us in the Jianghu?"

"That's really..." Luo Qiang sat down at the table and sighed, "Then that's the end of Dad's death?"

"Then what else do you want?" Luo Ba said, "The end result of betraying the Snake Eagle Sect is death. Daddy thought that nothing would happen if he invited the Five Rats to wash his hands this time, but now that even Zhan Zhao has come, isn't it the same? die?!"

Luo Qiang raised his hand and thumped the table, "Then we won't avenge daddy?"

"What kind of revenge?!" Luo Ba sat down at the table and began to tie the burden, "Haven't you heard that the bodyguard agency that betrayed the Snake Eagle Cult last time killed all of them overnight? The two of us Let's go quickly, no matter what, let's avoid these two days!"

"What about the younger sisters?" Luo Qiang seemed to be a bit bloody, "We are just men, what if we leave and leave a family of women?"

"Are you going?" Luo Pa packed up his things and stood up.Luo Qiang thought for a while, then stood up and followed him out.

As soon as the two opened the door and walked into the yard, they saw two people standing at the door. The two were so shocked that they threw all the bundles in their hands on the ground. They opened their eyes wide and looked at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao in front of them.

"Both young masters, are you going on a long journey?" Zhan Zhao asked the two with a smile.

"I...we are going to inform relatives to attend the funeral for father." Luo Ba hurriedly picked up the bundle.

"Heh..." Bai Yutang sneered, "Ask your relatives to go in person? Aren't you supposed to go to your father's mourning hall in sackcloth and mourning?"

The two brothers were embarrassed.

"So you are members of the Snake Eagle Sect." Zhan Zhao asked the two of them, "It seems that Luo Changfeng's death is also related to the Snake Eagle Sect."

Brother Luo's face was bitter, and he didn't know what to say, when suddenly there was a loud knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and not long after, they heard the sound of a large number of people rushing into the Changfeng Escort, as well as the cry of a woman, and the housekeeper hurried over, shouting as he ran, "Young Master, Young Master, here we come!" A lot of officers and soldiers."

Following the butler came in, and there were many forbidden soldiers, each holding a sword in their hands. After entering, they separated from the two sides. From behind the many forbidden soldiers, a man in black came in. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew each other at a glance. The leader Dengjie who met once in the restaurant.

When Deng Jie came in and saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, he was also slightly surprised, but he didn't say much, he just asked his subordinates to arrest the two Luo brothers.Afterwards, he cupped his hands to the two, "You two, this Luo family is suspected of colluding with the Snake Eagle Sect, and I want to bring it back to the Privy Council for interrogation.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and Bai Yutang smiled slightly, "What a coincidence that Commander Deng came."

Deng Jie was taken aback, looked at Bai Yutang, and smiled, "It seems to be two coincidentally."

Zhan Zhao also smiled, "That's what Yutang said, it was a coincidence that we were investigating, and it was even more a coincidence that Commander Deng came directly with the brigade.

Deng Jie's face changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly returned to normal, and said to Zhan Zhao, "We have been watching Luo Changfeng for a long time, and we have found out that he is related to the Snake Eagle Sect, but there is no evidence. He died suddenly..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao saw a clear look on their faces. Bai Yutang put the knife on his shoulder and smiled, "We didn't say we suspected anything. Commander Deng doesn't need to explain."

Deng Jie's face was a little embarrassed, and he realized that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had been tricked by a few words. These two people...

"Let's go, cat." Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao, turned around and walked out.

Zhan Zhao also clasped his hands and nodded to Deng Jie, "Farewell, Commander Deng." After speaking, he followed Bai Yutang out the door.

Seeing the two of them leaving, Deng Jie frowned slightly, and after a long time said to his opponent, "Take them all back!"

……

"Interesting, cat." Bai Yutang wobbled as he followed Zhan Zhao in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion.

"I didn't expect Luo Changfeng to be a member of the Snake Eagle Sect." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "From the tone of those two brothers, Luo Changfeng will die because he betrayed the Snake Eagle Sect."

"Then Deng Jie wouldn't have come to play earlier." Bai Yutang twitched his lips, "It seems that things are not easy."

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao nodded and asked, "Did you hear the two brothers just now say that there is another bodyguard agency, and because they betrayed the Snake Eagle Sect, all of them were killed."

"Is there such an escort agency in Jianghu?" Bai Yutang asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"The Escort Agency is between Jianghu people and non-Jianghu people. Luo Changfeng also opened the Escort Bureau because he was originally a martial arts person. There are still some friends in the Jianghu. " Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Why does the Snake Eagle Cult seem to like the Escort?"

"Mao'er, does Kaifeng Mansion have files?" Bai Yutang asked, "Isn't it true that every year there are serious cases in the prefectures and counties, the recorded files will be sent to Kaifeng Mansion? We'll find out if we go back and look it up."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang with squinted eyes, and said with a smile, "Brother Bai, the word 'go back' is so easy to say."

Bai Yutang was stunned, a little embarrassed, Zhan Zhao looked at the deflated expression of a certain mouse with satisfaction, and walked forward with a smile, Bai Yutang caught up, grinding his teeth.

That night, Gongsun heard the rustling sounds in the dossier room, and thought that a mouse had entered the door. Holding a lantern, he went in and saw the dossiers all over the floor, as well as a cat and a mouse that were almost buried by the dossiers...

"Little Zhan, you didn't say there are so many!" Bai Yutang patted his clothes dissatisfied. Climbed out, "I said that all the case files from all over the world are here, how could there not be many, be careful, don't get wrinkled, sir will scold you!"

As he spoke, he saw Gongsun appearing at the door.

The two looked at Gongsun, then at the files all over the floor, smiled shyly, pointed at each other, "It was his idea."

Gongsun shook his head, "What are you two looking for?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and said what they had just heard.

Gongsun walked up to a row of shelves with some helplessness, and said, "There won't be many cases of extermination, and they are all concentrated here. After speaking, he selected a few stacks from the shelf on the second floor, and hooked his fingers at the two of them.

The two hurried over, and Gongsun put the file in their hands, and said, "This is a case of extermination in various places in the past 20 years. Take it back to your room and read it slowly. Don't worry about it here. Don't worry about it later." Point out my dossier room."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hugged the file, and said a little embarrassedly, "Hey, let's clean up the house before leaving..."

Gongsun waved to the two of them, "Let's go, it's just you two, the more you reason, the more chaotic you will be."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and ran away cheekily. Gongsun glanced at the mess in the room, sighed, and walked over to collect the files.

After returning to the room, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao took off their shoes and sat on the bed, put the two stacks of files on the bed, and searched carefully.
