There are many restaurants and theaters here, as well as theater troupes and acrobatic troupes from all over the world. Huaixiu found the acrobatic troupe from the Western Regions. A simple shed was set up in an open-air square, surrounded by wooden fences and tents, so you couldn’t see what was going on inside.

All I could hear was bursts of cheers and clapping, and the atmosphere was very lively. After spending a few coins, Huaixiu entered the venue. Looking around, it was really a sea of ​​people.

Unable to squeeze forward, Huaixiu could only stand at the end, stepping on a wooden bench, and could barely see the stage. At this moment, the performers on the stage were a man and a snake. A Westerner played a flute and danced with the snake.

Everyone was amazed. Huaixiu asked the people around him, "Is the transformation into a living person over?"

"Nothing."

Huaixiu waited patiently until the last show when the real person was transformed. Just as the girl said, the person entered the box and disappeared in a blink of an eye. In order to confirm its authenticity, the audience was invited to come on stage in person to inspect the box and the stage.

Finally, the audience locked the box themselves, and after opening it again, the man got out of the box again.

The applause was so lively that it seemed like the roof would be lifted off...

It was late at night, and Huaixiu returned to Liumen. Chang'an had a long face, but Huaixiu didn't care. Seeing that Qin Zhen's face was not good either, Huaixiu cautiously said to please, "I have something private to do," and handed it over.

Qin Zhen didn't take the snacks and was snatched away by Chang An.

"Sheng Changsi called you." Qin Zhen said, Huaixiu secretly thought that it must be you who filed the complaint.

Qin Zhen brought Huaixiu to Sheng Changsi's house, then stretched out her hand, "Bring it here."

Huaixiu obediently handed over the token.

Sheng Lingrong was checking a file and glanced at Huaixiu, "I'm afraid you have forgotten the rules of the detective examination. You have repeatedly violated the rules..."

Huaixiu quickly handed over the three portraits and confessed leniently, "Reporting to Chief Sheng, I went to Jingzhao Mansion to find Mr. Fang Baizhou to investigate a missing case that occurred in Shi'an County seven years ago."

Sheng Lingrong took the portrait in surprise. Huaixiu briefly described what happened that year, "I do have selfish motives. The two people who had the accident were one of their childhood friends and the other of Huaixiu's benefactor. When she came to Beijing this time, Rong Niang

My father also asked me to find Rong Niang, and people can't just disappear without any reason."

Sheng Lingrong quickly recognized the three people, "It's them..."

"Master Fang said that these three people are the pirates that Liumen has been chasing for many years."

Sheng Lingrong said, "Because the three of them often disguise themselves, no one knows their true appearance, so they thought it would be difficult to hunt them down. I didn't expect that they actually appeared in Shi'an County seven years ago. What else did you find out?"

Huaixiu replied, "Before coming to the capital, a group of water bandits were captured in Shi'an County. I received something from the bandits from the Song Dynasty. The water bandits said they had taken it from a tea merchant in the capital. Mr. Fang took me there."

City Bureau, I found five tea merchants with the surname Cheng, and I have some clues."

Sheng Lingrong looked at Huaixiu quietly, and Huaixiu lowered his eyes in embarrassment, "Unexpectedly, you have to find clues to an old case that has been dormant for ten years."

Is this a compliment?

"So... I will have the information about these three pirates from the Six Doors be brought to you so that you can continue your investigation."

Huaixiu was surprised and happy.

"But you have to understand your current mission."

"Don't worry, Sheng Changsi, Huaixiu will definitely do his best."

Sheng Lingrong said, "If you can't solve the case, you can't enter the Six Doors. Without the help of the Six Doors, you won't be able to find those three people."

Huaixiu said, "Huaixiu understands." He thought to himself that he had passed the test, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I wonder what Sheng Changsi found out about Xie Rui and Wuxing's surveillance in the past two days?"

Sheng Lingrong said, "There is nothing unusual. Wu Ruier's matter has not yet been settled. They must be alert."

"From what Sheng Changsi said, I believe that these two people have some secret."

Sheng Lingrong was silent for a moment, "The Yunzhou Prefecture reported to the court twice that the leather armor of the border soldiers was of extremely poor quality."

Huaixiu was surprised, "Why didn't the court investigate?"

Sheng Lingrong raised the corner of her mouth, "However, these two memorials have not reached His Majesty's imperial cabinet."

Huaixiu understood that he was detained by someone, and this person, Huaixiu did not dare to guess. She knew more or less about the affairs in the court. For example, His Majesty favored the eunuch Liu Jing and promoted him to the position of minister of ceremony.

The eunuchs in charge of the supervision and the East Factory were handed over to their command. For example, Liu Jing was so powerful...

Huaixiu was speechless, and Sheng Lingrong did not elaborate. He only said, "Are you scared?"

Huaixiu frowned and avoided the topic, "Huaixiu has new ideas about Wu Ruier's case."

"Just tell me."

Huaixiu told Sheng Lingrong his speculation. Sheng Lingrong was very surprised, "Why do you think so?"

Huaixiu suddenly remembered that her father always had some strange ideas when handling cases. To outsiders, they seemed like wild and wild ideas, but her father said that they were reasoning based on experience. Of course, she had no experience, but she just learned from these days.

Continuous visits, understanding, and conclusions drawn.

Huaixiu explained his reasons, then took a deep breath, "I believe in my speculation, and I can confirm it."

Sheng Lingrong looked at her for a while, "How to confirm?"

"I have a plan, but I need Sheng Changsi's help."

Sheng Lingrong smiled and said, "Don't forget, this is a test question for you. You two need to complete it. Six Doors will not interfere."

Huaixiu said, "So the case involved Xie Rui from the Ministry of War. Does Sheng Changsi think it's just an exam question?"

After hearing this, Sheng Lingrong stood up slowly, walked to Huaixiu, and looked her over for a while. Huaixiu was very calm.

"Tell me, what is your plan?"

*

Although Chang'an hated being "cheated" by Huaixiu again, when he saw her coming out, he still couldn't help but care about her, "Did Sheng Changsi make things difficult for you? It was Qin Zhen who filed the complaint."

Huaixiu didn't blame Qin Zhen, he didn't tell Sheng Lingrong about her taking the token.

Huaixiu said thank you to Qin Zhen, "Sheng Changsi let you in."

Changan was confused, "What happened?"

Huaixiu smiled bitterly and said, "Chief Sheng sent me to the forbidden room, but Wu Ruier's case has been closed."

"You really went to handle private matters...wait, what did you say? Wu Ruier's case is closed?"

Huaixiu nodded, "It's over."

Changan was a little confused.

It took a while to react, "Huaixiu...and Wu Ruier's death..."

Huai Xiu said, "Suicide, but the accident will still be written on the file."

"Why?"

Huaixiu shrugged, "Even if Ji Lan is willing to come forward and prove that Xie Rong beat and scolded Wu Rui'er, it is not enough to prove that Wu Rui'er committed suicide because of this, let alone Ji Lan will testify? Unexpected, maybe it will be good for both the Xie and Wu families."

Chang'an couldn't say he was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "I didn't expect the six doors to be like this..."

"how?"

Chang'an quickly shook his head and smiled again, "So, we are the first to solve the case?"

Huai Xiu said, "Isn't Zhou Qingyue's case going to trial today?"

Speaking of this matter, Chang An became interested, "You didn't see it, but A Bing also retracted his confession on the spot. Originally, he had admitted that he was the murderer of Father Hu. Unexpectedly, another woman, surnamed Wei, came and called her on the spot.

Injustice, Mrs. Wei said that A Bing was at her house that night, and stayed there all night. Mrs. Wei has a seven-year-old son who can testify that she could use the magic of self-displacement to kill people at Hu Yin's house. The scene was in an uproar."

"Then what?"

"Then A Bing took the opportunity to say that the Yamen had beaten him into submission. Didn't you see how ugly Jing Zhaoyin's face was? Zhou Qingyue was so angry that she couldn't even speak."

Huaixiu said, "Let's see, so torture is not a good thing."

Chang'an said, "Later, I told Wu Zhuo your views on the case. I hope they can catch the real murderer next."

Just as he was talking, Qin Zhen came over with two government servants and said, "Li Huaixiu, Chief Sheng has sent you to the forbidden room for two days. Let's go."

Chang'an panicked, "I'm really going."

"It's okay, it's okay." Huaixiu comforted, "I haven't slept well in the past few days anyway. I took the opportunity to sleep for two days, so don't disturb me." Huaixiu followed Qin Zhen and left. Chang'an looked at her background,
Chapter completed!
