Cypress Boat Floating

"Yesterday, I felt strange about the morning court yesterday. Why did it take so long? Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan must have someone delaying the court, so, so, so there must be someone in the court colluding with Lin Xuan. Someone used the morning court to delay the time, giving him enough time to steal the map, but where did he put it after he stole it? Is there any place he can go without being suspected? The marching distribution map can be placed there without being suspected."

Ye Jianqing's casual remark completely opened up Lu Zhixing's thoughts. He just turned around in circles and muttered to himself as if he was possessed.

Ye Jianqing and Lu Ci Qiu looked at each other, neither of them had ever seen Lu Zhixing like this. Lu Ci Qiu had only worked on one case with Lu Zhixing, and Ye Jianqing had worked on even fewer. Naturally, they didn't know that Lu Zhixing would be like this once he handled a case.

When you are at a loss, sudden inspiration can easily disappear if you don't seize it in time.

"Let's go back to Dali Temple." Lu Zhixing suddenly calmed down and pushed Lu Ci Qiu forward.

The sudden action made Lu Ci Qiu and Ye Jianqing at a loss. For a moment, they didn't know what he wanted to do.

"We are here, the thieves will never make a move." Lu Zhixing said mysteriously, and then led the way out: "By the way, let Mr. Qiu tell them that they can move freely."

Ye Jianqing reacted quickly.

What is the most important thing now? Find the march distribution map.

They already had a rough idea of ​​who stole the picture, but without the picture and the key they couldn't convict the person because there wasn't enough evidence.

So what Lu Zhixing is doing now is to let the criminals hand over the evidence to them themselves.

As long as they are here, the criminals will be more cautious and will not take the map. Only when they are caught red-handed will they confess their crimes and be punished.

How clever! Ye Jianqing exclaimed.

The three of them left the Ministry of War, and Lu Zhixing also sent people to keep an eye on Lin Xuan and the other three people. Although they all knew it was Lin Xuan, they couldn't let the others go either.

"Your Highness, there is a result for the matter you asked your subordinates to investigate." As soon as the three of them returned to the Dali Temple, someone came forward to report to Lu Zhixing.

"Speak." Lu Zhixing sat on the main seat and waved his hand.

"Among the four people you asked me to investigate, Lu Jiaxiang's family has been in a lot of trouble recently. Business is not good. I heard that they have lost a lot of money. Recently, they have been in debt and the creditors are always coming to their door. For this reason, Lu Jiaxiang often goes back.

Liu Zhihong just took up his post at the Ministry of War this year. He has been very well-behaved since the beginning of this year. It is said that he has been accompanying Minister Qiu everywhere, and Minister Qiu takes him wherever he goes.

Lin Xuan and Minister Qiu went to Chun Man Lou together five days ago, stayed inside for the whole night, and came out at noon the next day. During this period, Lin Xuan never left Chun Man Lou. According to your request, I also asked the locksmith shop, and they said that the above three people had never been there in the past few days.

But Cheng Tianhe went to the locksmith shop a few days ago. He is a gambler and he was reluctant to leave the casino even when he ran out of money. He is a complete gambler.

"Lin Xuan has never been to the locksmith shop. Does that mean he hasn't re-engraved the key?" Lu Ci Qiu frowned and looked at Lu Zhixing.

From the very beginning, they all thought that Lin Xuan was the criminal, but the premise was that Lin Xuan had the key. Only someone with the key could successfully steal the march distribution map.

Lu Zhixing frowned as he listened to his subordinates' reports. Years of experience told him that his idea was not wrong, but now he got a different answer.

No, there is another possibility.

"What if Lin Xuan is not the only criminal?" Lu Zhixing said softly. He looked very relaxed, as if he was not nervous at all.

"What does the prince mean?"

"Go and check. Cheng Tianhe started gambling half a year ago. Find out who took him to the casino and got him started gambling." Lu Zhixing ordered.

"Yes." The subordinate received the order and immediately stepped back to make arrangements.

"Second brother, do you mean there is an accomplice?" Stealing the march distribution map is a big deal. Two people stole it together. This... Could it be that Cheng Tianhe, who looks honest and loyal, is also a criminal?

"If the criminals are really Cheng Tianhe and Lin Xuan, Cheng Tianhe may not know that what was stolen is the march distribution map. There is no need for Lin Xuan to tell him what was stolen. He just needs to let him copy the key.

Cheng Tianhe is honest and weak by nature, and has always been bullied in the Ministry of War. Such a person is actually the easiest to control. If you have some leverage over him, he will do whatever you want him to do. "Ye Jianqing said silently at the side.

She said this not to clear Cheng Tianhe's name or anything, but just to provide Lu Zhixing with another idea.

Lu Zhixing nodded, "That's right, that's why I asked you to investigate Cheng Tianhe just now. They both owe money, but compared to Lu Jiaxiang, Cheng Tianhe is too weak. He can do anything for money. He built everything from nothing, so he cherishes what he has now more.

As for Lu Jiaxiang, he is an upright person with a very good family background. Although his family is in a bit of trouble now, he is not afraid of poverty. He has his own pride and will not do anything for money. "

After saying that, Lu Zhixing glanced at Ye Jianqing. This woman, no, should I say girl, is obviously not very old, but she always gives him a feeling of maturity beyond her age.

I don’t know if she was like this by nature or if something happened later that made her like this.

Ye Jianqing has a good understanding ability and knows a lot. Sometimes, just one or two words from her can give him an epiphany. She has a wisdom that is beyond this world.

Lu Zhixing always felt that this body did not match the soul inside.

"Who are you?" Lu Zhixing thought to himself. He still doubted Ye Jianqing. Her background had obviously been investigated, and he could be said to be the person in the world who knew her background best. However, he always felt that Ye Jianqing was like a gust of wind, floating here now, and might float to another place at any time.

Unpredictable.

Lu Zhixing's guess was actually correct. The criminal was indeed among these four people, and the marching distribution map had never left the Ministry of War.

Not long after they left, the door of one of the four rooms opened. A slightly fat man cautiously poked his head out, and after confirming that there was no one outside, he quietly walked to the opposite side from the door of his room.

He knocked gently on the door.

Without having to wait long, someone opened the door soon. It was Lin Xuan.

"Lord Lin, here's something for you." The person who spoke was Cheng Tianhe. Cheng Tianhe secretly took out something wrapped in cloth from his arms and handed it to Lin Xuan.

"Very good. I won't forget you after I get the money." Lin Xuan patted Cheng Tianhe's shoulder with satisfaction: "Go back quickly."

Cheng Tianhe secretly returned to his room.

That’s right, the person who stole the picture was Lin Xuan, and the one who helped him was Cheng Tianhe.

Cheng Tianhe returned to his room anxiously, wrapped his clothes tightly around himself and buried himself in the quilt, like an ostrich, knowing nothing as long as he hid.

On the other side, Lin Xuan got the map and put it away carefully. Although there were no guards outside now, they could move freely in the Ministry of War, but Lu Zhixing had not said whether they could go out. They were afraid that they would need Lu Zhixing's approval to go out.

But at this moment, Lu Zhixing would not let them leave at all, so he had to think of a way to pass this thing on.

Lin Xuan felt that he was a very lucky person. From childhood to adulthood, whenever he dozed off, someone would give him a pillow. Whenever he encountered difficulties in doing something, there would always be someone to help him, so he really felt that he was very lucky.

It was the same this time. Before he could come up with any ideas, someone came.

"Master Lin." His colleagues from the supervision office came to look for him.

"Sir Li, what's going on?" Hearing the voice, Lin Xuan quickly hid the map on himself, pretended to be doing nothing, opened the door, and greeted his colleagues with a smile.

"Oh, Lord Lin, I just heard from Lord Qiu that you are no longer a suspect. But the martial arts selection has run into some trouble. You have to step in to handle this matter, otherwise it can't be done." Lord Li saw Lin Xuan as if he had seen a savior. He held on to him and wouldn't let go. His face was full of worry, and it seemed that his hair was turning white from worry.

"Lord Li, please take your time and tell me what happened." Lin Xuan helped him sit down aside and calmed him down. He was obviously already feeling happy about the opportunity that had come to him, but he still had to pretend on the surface.

"I don't know why, but there are two groups of generals in the camp who are angry with each other. They insist on seeing you, saying that only you can solve the problem." Lord Li had just run back from outside, and he hadn't even caught his breath yet, but he grabbed Lin Xuan's hand and wouldn't let go.

"What? How can they make such a fuss? Aren't they afraid of being punished according to military regulations?" Lin Xuan also got angry with him, his face frowning.

"It's not that serious. He just kept saying he wanted to see you." Lord Li came from the army after all, and he knew how terrible military regulations were. He didn't want these brothers to make such a big fuss over such a small matter, so he quickly changed his words and said a few good words, but in the end he still had to let Lin Xuan go out and take a look to find out what was going on.

"Or I'll go ask Lord Qiu. If I can really leave, I'll go with you to take a look." Lin Xuan looked at Lord Li with embarrassment.

Lord Li waved his hand generously and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just met Lord Qiu and told him. He said it's okay. Please come with me and take a look."

"Okay, let's go then."

Lin Xuan had a logical reason to go out. As long as he could go out, he would have a way to hand the things over to the right people.
