Chapter 272: Protecting Zhou Lang Again

Cuiniang smiled and said: "Actually, the moment I killed him, I knew that I would not be able to escape the guilt, so I carried you back to Fan Lou after you were drugged, and then came back and dragged that person to the prison as well." Fan Lou, the main purpose is to make a joke for you, Mr. Gu, don't take offense."

just kidding.
Gu Yi looked at Cuiniang strangely.

She wanted to let herself intervene in the case as soon as possible and find out the real culprit as soon as possible.

Thinking that she was the one who carried him back to Fan Lou, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

I have to say that as the headliner of Pingkang Pavilion in the past, she is very beautiful.

Perhaps it was due to improper maintenance during these days, she was very thin.

Just looking at it like this, I never imagined that she would be someone capable of killing people, and that she, who seemed weak, could carry a seven-foot man like himself on the back.

Gu Yi covered his mouth and coughed awkwardly.

Cuiniang didn't care about his discomfort, and was only focused on saving Zhou Lang: "If Mr. Gu promises me to guarantee Zhou Lang's safety, I would like to give you the whereabouts of the Shu embroidery map immediately."

Gu Yi was angry and funny.

He always thought that the real culprit was Zhou Qiang.

Although Zhou Qiang's rhetoric has many flaws after careful consideration, but Gu Yi thinks that Zhou Qiang wants to protect the person who cut off the murderer's head and Cui Niang, so what he said is half-truth and half-false, and there are inevitably some inconsiderations .

But at this time, Cui Niang impeccably said a series of shocking things in a flat tone. Although these things sounded bizarre, they were unbelievable.

Never thought that the person that night was actually this delicate and beautiful woman in front of her.

"Miss Liu, now is not the time for you to negotiate terms with me." Gu Yi said hard-heartedly, "You should also know that as long as the Shu Embroidery Picture is still in Kaifeng, even if you don't tell me, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will still take it. find out."

After all, there is a city defense map that is related to state affairs hidden in it.

"Of course I believe in Mr. Gu's ability, but you are so sure, without my help, you can get the embroidery back in time? Besides, if someone who is interested knows the mystery hidden in the embroidery, the consequences may be disastrous. One more day outside, but more uncertainty, more dangerous."

"Miss Liu is so eloquent, it's eye-opening." Gu Yi smiled, "Well, I promise you, if Zhou Qiang really has nothing to do with this murder case, then I will do my best to rescue him."

"A real man says what he says."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

"That's good. After Mr. Yin finished interrogating me tomorrow, signed and pledged, and the government determined that I was the murderer and that this case had nothing to do with Zhou Lang, I will tell you where the Shu embroidery map is hidden."

Gu Yi was startled.

miracle!miracle!
Throughout the ages, there were only people who desperately tried to get rid of crimes, but today they saw a person who couldn't wait to put a crime on his head.

"There is one last question. After you return from Fanlou, is the head of the deceased still there?"

Cuiniang was not surprised, and said: "I guess that the man in black is probably a vicious guy with many enemies, so seeing him dead, the enemies came to him and cut off his head to vent their hatred!"

"So, when I returned to the old house, there were only the headless corpses of the bartender and the man in black in the courtyard. At that time, the watchman walked by outside. I didn't want to startle the snake. After the watchman left, I dragged the body to Fanzhou. building."

The night is dark and the wind is high, a deserted old house, two corpses, and a woman.

It was a weird scene, but Cui Niang spoke very plainly, as if to say that the weather is really nice today.

Gu Yi asked: "So it wasn't you who cut off the dead man's head?"

"Of course it's not me. It's much more convenient to deal with a good corpse. Do you know how much work I spent on disposing of the blood on that headless corpse? Well, I don't know which guy who has no eyesight, it's the middle of the night What's more, instead of sleeping at home, he ran to kill people's heads in the snowy night, it's really idle."

Gu Yi who vaguely knew the general situation: "."

You killed someone in the middle of the night, and dragged the body all the way to my bed on purpose, so you have nothing to do.

After asking Cuiniang a few more questions, Gu Yi felt hesitant, so he said "goodbye" to her and left the female prisoner.

The weather outside the cell was clear.

It was snowing first, and there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the air.

Gu Yi took a deep breath of sweetness, just in time to meet Master Zhang who came back from outside.

When Mr. Zhang saw Gu Yi, he walked over quickly holding the corner of his purple official uniform, with a serious expression on his face.

Gu Yi saluted and said: "My lord. Regarding the case of the headless corpse, the students have some clues and are about to report it to the lord."

"Let's take this case slowly." Lord Zhang said in a low voice with a serious look, "Right now, there is another matter that is more important. This matter is related to the safety of the capital and the national fortune of the Song Dynasty."

Gu Yi had a vague guess, but still asked respectfully, "I don't know what it is?"

Mr. Zhang glanced around, pointed to the meeting hall, and said, "Go to the meeting hall." Then he ordered the young man who followed behind, "Hurry up and call Judge Cheng."

Before Judge Cheng arrived, Mr. Zhang frowned and said to Gu Yi:

"Just now, Shen Wenhai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, invited me to the Shangshu Mansion, and said that the defense map of the capital kept in the Privy Council was missing. This matter is not trivial, and Mr. Shen dare not publicize it. Thinking that my mansion is in charge of the capital, I specially ask Kaifeng Mansion to help secretly investigate. Detective, looking forward to getting back the defense map as soon as possible."

When Gu Yi heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Mr. Zhang raised his beard and Lao Gao: "Sanlang, how can you still laugh? The map of the capital's defense is an important secret. If it is so secret, it would be a big deal if it was taken by the bad guys!"

"My lord, don't worry."

Gu Yi poured Master Zhang a cup of tea comfortingly, and slowly told Master Zhang about the important things that Zhou Qiang and Cuiniang said in the prison just now.

Mr. Zhang stroked his gray beard, as if he was stroking the messy thoughts in his mind.

"Wait, wait, you mean, those two little thieves are murderers? Is that woman from Liao? She has the defense map in her hand?"

After asking several questions in a row and getting Gu Yi's affirmative answer, Mr. Zhang raised his beard in disbelief:

"Sanlang, the people should not be wronged when investigating the case. I know that the officials have set three days to find out the truth. Judge Cheng is complaining, and you are also under a lot of pressure, but no matter how much the pressure is, we can't just make it up. "

Gu Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

"My lord's words are very true. Miss Liu's words are indeed bizarre, but the defense plan was lost, and the civil and military officials of the court did not know, but she did. From this, it can be seen that her words are not empty words. Moreover, to tell you the truth, students and The two of them used to be old acquaintances, according to the judgment of the students, Miss Liu's words are probably credible."

Mr. Zhang stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and nodded slowly: "What you said is reasonable. I only found out about the loss of the defense plan today. She is a weak woman, how can she know—"

He tapped on the edge of the table.

"Since Liu Cui is from Liao, and she stole the defense plan, this matter is no small matter! Come here, I will be promoted immediately, and I want to interrogate the culprit!"
