Daqing Criminal Division

The words between Fu Yu and Duan Xiao directly determined the general direction of their actions in the capital.

After all, after Bao Sanzi, the eyewitness, provided them with clues, he could leave the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the whole investigation of the 'Speeding Car' case has become serious since then.

This is mainly due to the fact that the two of them can directly represent the respective functions and positions of Nanjunji and Haidongqing in Suncheon in a disguised form.

One is the reappearance after many years of dormancy, and the other is the Jedi counterattack after a long wait.

One prospers all, one loses all.

In addition, this time it was a one-in-a-million situation, so these two people who were actually in a relationship of competition and support were not able to sit still immediately.

And when Duan Xiao and Fu Yu found out the case file that they had stolen from the supervisor this time again, and when each of them dug out the thick vertical file, the two of them took a copy outside the interrogation room and checked it. , temporarily locked the incident within this range, and a detail that had been missed before was uncovered in this way.

"The lime kiln in Yuanjiazhuang was first built in the winter break of Sejong's 13th year."

"This place itself is a tile workshop of a residential house in Dengshikou. There are also several broken lime stoves. The people who live there are more or less familiar with it. Generally, the kilns built under the supervision of the court are official kilns. The establishment of this place The quasi-lime kiln is for the purchase of bulk building stones."

"It turns out that 13 was a very special year. Shuntian Mansion was robbed from the outside for no reason, and the city walls were extensively damaged. There is an urgent need for limestone to be supplied to the Ministry of Industry."

"In the chaotic situation of the imperial court at that time, countless private kilns came into being, so this small and insignificant Yuanjiazhuang lime kiln was left alone in the corner of the imperial city."

These are the records of the first crash that can be found in detail from the dossier of the superintendent.

Therefore, the location is close to Dengshikou after the demolition, and it is located in a desolate and uninhabited land, so this has always been a stone-burning workshop that is not much different from ordinary people. Nobody knows.

There are regulations in this dynasty that for such small lime kiln workshops, the owner of the lime kiln can start the furnace and fire it after paying the refining tax to the supervisor and the Ministry of Industry by providing flint documents.

For the rest, who opened the kiln does not need to provide the kiln owner's name and surname in detail.

This makes the chaos of one master, two masters, and three masters hidden behind the small workshop extremely frequent.

If anyone with a heart wants to do something based on this, it couldn't be easier.

The raw material of lime is originally burnt lime, and lime is divided into quicklime and slaked lime. Therefore, burning lime itself is dangerous, so it is necessary to control the amount of burning. According to the archives, there were three stone-burning accidents in Yuanjiazhuang lime kiln, which seemed to be normal.

But even in these three times, there were actually no particularly big incidents.

At this moment, when Fu Yu and Duan Xiao started to search for clues from these three incidents related to the lime kiln in Yuanjiazhuang, they could find that these three incidents occurred in the first year of the new emperor, the second year of the new emperor, and one month ago. There are two strange similarities between open flame accidents.

That is, two things were also mentioned in these cases—namely, first, there was a precedent for Yuanjiazhuang Lime Kiln to privately collect feces and urine for fermentation in several Fushou pits in central Beijing before a small personal accident occurred.

What is Fushou Keng?

This actually refers to the large and small underground sewage drainage ditches and defecation stations in the streets of Shuntianfu.

As we all know, not to mention the imperial city that has survived the past dynasties, even ordinary middle-class government offices, there will be special Fushou Pit built with clay bricks and stones.

The existence of Fushoukeng in the capital city of Fushou is to collect and centralize the feces of mules and horses on the streets, as well as human feces, etc. through the official drainage roads, so as to avoid the stench of feces accumulated on the roads, and ordinary people will be infected with diseases and insect diseases. Infection, but the private collection of feces and urine for secondary treatment is also a common problem for the government.

Why did the Yuanjiazhuang Lime Kiln spend so much money to take over such troublesome Fushougou effusion, and where did these things go in the end?

Because usually only some farmers in the outer cities need these Fushougou effusions to make root fertilizer.

A good kiln factory collected a large amount of effusion in the past, but it was hard to figure out what it was going to be used for.

And the second is that after the three accidents that did not attract the attention of the outside world, the only few recorded victims experienced dizziness, nausea, vomiting and temporary memory loss when they went to the doctor afterwards.

This extremely similar sequelae sounds abnormal.

Because it doesn't sound like it was caused by any trauma or illness, it's just that these people more or less stayed in the Yuanjiazhuang lime kiln for too long, and they all recovered after leaving This happened when limestone was fired near the kiln.

In particular, if the general lime kiln factory burns lime according to the quota set by the Ministry of Industry, there will be no accidents in itself. Therefore, after this incident, the Ministry of Industry also sent people to this matter, but no results were found. .

There are no omissions in the internal workshops of the Yuanjiazhuang Lime Kiln, so it is impossible to find the actual cause of such a strange disease.

For this reason, the result given by the supervisor at that time was that perhaps some people in the lime kiln workshop were not used to the high temperature around the burning lime plant, so this kind of nausea-like reaction appeared.

But now from the perspective of the 'Speeding Car' case, the symptoms of the former victims of the Yuanjiazhuang lime kiln accident have another completely different meaning in the eyes of the two of them.

Because Zhang Ping'er and Bao Sanzi, who were involved in the case, actually mentioned in their personal confessions that there was a pungent smell near the lime kiln in Yuanjiazhuang, which made people dizzy and nauseated after smelling it.

"Could it be poisoning?"

"These three times, the reactions of these people after the incident may have been poisoning accidents."

This was another unanimous conclusion. After finishing speaking, Fu Yu and Duan Xiao looked at each other again as if they had figured something out, and then suddenly turned their gazes to the records recorded in the file.

The expressions of lips and brows on their faces changed to varying degrees, but they suddenly saw through the biggest strangeness that had shrouded the peaceful land of Yuanjiazhuang lime kiln before.

But the assertion that these people were all poisoned once brought about a problem.

What caused their bodies and brains to react after being poisoned?

After three times of opening the kiln and collecting a large amount of Fushougou effusion from the people, what poisonous things were produced in the Yuanjiazhuang lime kiln that caused the above symptoms to appear?

After all, from the perspective of ordinary people's understanding.Poisoning, it needs to be ingested or at least some medicine is put on people to cause it. In a small workshop like Yuanjiazhuang Lime Kiln, there is no invisible or intangible thing that can make people poisoned, or even produce such a poison. Strange reaction after poisoning.

Is this man-made, or there are other reasons, and what does it have to do with the "moon" and the "speeding car" seen by Bao Sanzi.

Because of this, a large-scale search in Shuntian Prefecture is probably inevitable.

But just at this time, two ancient bells resounded in the sky in the main avenue of the imperial city behind the street of the House of Internal Affairs.

The people on both sides obviously heard the movement, and then there were three cracks of the whip at the front door, "pa——pa" When these two special movements sounded, both of them immediately realized that this was the king of Tibet and the two of them. Living Buddha's thousand-man convoy

At this time, he has basically arrived outside the Shuntian Mansion.

The sound of whipping that resounded above the entire Shuntian Mansion was a big rule in the Emperor's Imperial City.

It will only appear in extremely special circumstances such as the emperor's early court, tours and visits from outer cities. After several months of trekking, within the estimated time, the Tibetan visiting team with the eyes of the Quanshun Tianfu under their eyes This time it came early.

They never expected that there is actually an unpredictable crisis that changes the fate of countless people hidden in the inner city.

But at this moment, the sky is not completely dark yet.

The flagpoles of Huang'en Temple, Dabaoguo Temple, Wupailou, Brick Tower Hutong, Xisi Pailou, etc. located in a large circle of Zhengwai City have already hung flags on the flagpoles. This is like the "Golden Dragon" in Shuntianfu Like the scales of the human body, at night, the entire imperial city will completely shine.

There was no elephant or chariot passing by on the street.

Thinking about it, the customs clearance documents and the parade drum cart to pick up people to the celebration square have not yet arrived. The receiving missions appointed by the imperial court, officials from the Ministry of Rites and Luan Yiwei will definitely not open the city gate to greet them immediately, because such a big It will take a certain amount of time for the team to enter the customs, but the East Chang'an Avenue is bound to have already begun to clear people on both sides.

Therefore, at this time, they could not rashly go to the lime kiln in Yuanjiazhuang.

Because there are people everywhere on the road at the moment, if they are mixed in, this matter should be put on the bright side in a grand manner.

If any commotion is caused, it will definitely affect the normal arrangements for diplomatic affairs concerning the entry of the King of Tibet and the Fifth Living Buddha into the city.But seeing that the time is imminent, and the hustle and bustle outside and some kind of crisis are getting closer and closer to everyone, the two of them must first stabilize and think about countermeasures.

"What time is it now?"

Standing by the paper window with one hand pressing down on the window paper, Duan Xiao stood with him and stared at the sky outside, and the Luan Yiwei in yellow foam-nailed cotton armor and red-tasseled helmet looming on the opposite street avenue riding past.

This time the development of things is completely unexpected.

Both Duan Xiao and Fu Yu had some surprises about the situation in front of them, but he also had some personal thoughts in his heart.

"It's just past the end of the hour."

Standing with him by the window, Fu Yu, who had unbuttoned the Haidongqing uniform with two buttons on his face, looked outside while pawing at the window frame with his fingers, and looked outside, but the two were more in a relationship. Use the only time now to discuss countermeasures.

"Luan Yiwei, city defense leader, Inner City Forbidden Army, is there anyone else on East Chang'an Avenue?"

Duan Xiao turned to ask him again.

"There should be four or five groups of guards in charge of defending the city later, but I don't know how the inner city is preparing for the city patrol celebration. We are going to the Yuanjiazhuang Lime Kiln now, so we can only go through the outer horse road. It is best not to alarm too much. Many people."

Fu Yu, who withdrew his gaze, also looked into the distance through his eyes and answered in this way.

"Then we will take action after there are fewer people outside. Before the celebration in the completely dark city begins, we must find the 'evidence' about the 'moon' that may still be left there."

"Then, let's find a way to split up and go to the celebration in the inner city together to see if we can prevent Zao's convoy from passing through Dengshikou and East Chang'an Avenue from two directions."

Although they did not immediately explain why they did so.

And why did they send people to the lime kiln and inner city of Yuanjiazhuang mentioned by Bao Sanzi immediately before dark? What will the next development of this matter have to do with the specific car of the living Buddha entering Beijing.

But when this matter was found here, it just happened to mention the most critical point in front of the two of them.

What is that 'moon' that the only close eyewitnesses say.

Because Bao Sanzi, like most street thugs, has never read and read, and he has seen few novelty things, so maybe even he himself may not understand what he witnessed that night.

But there is a saying that is also true.

That is, when an ordinary person uses the most direct and pure visual language to describe a strange and strange thing, instead of subjectively guessing what it is, it can reveal the essence of a secret.

The 'spot of light' mentioned by Luan Yiwei was just a vague outline before.

But the word 'moon', once carefully studied, itself explains the shape of this object.

It can float in the air, the surface is bulging, and it is filled with something.

If the three points are combined to understand, what Baosan wants to express is actually that the object itself is very light, and there is something filled inside.

Zhang Ping'er, another scavenger from Dengshi, previously revealed to Baosan that the huge sheepskin fragments and other broken copper and iron that he picked up may be the specific material composition of this object.

Therefore, the 'moon' itself is a man-made circular filling, and its clues are most likely concentrated in the Yuanjiazhuang lime kiln.

Although these three points in Duan Xiao's mouth are just personal speculation at the moment, they firmly lock this clue to the Lime Kiln in Yuanjiazhuang, the first accident site where wild swallows fell to their deaths after colliding with 'Moon'.

It is completely impossible to say that there is nothing strange and abnormal there.

"Except for the lime kiln in Yuanjiazhuang, finally send people to lock up the rest of the cargo ports and chariots in the area."

"Never let the people in the inner city have the opportunity to create other disturbances and escape. Let the two of us solve the rest. If we can make it in time, we will go to the celebration site to prevent other things from happening after the living Buddhas arrive in the inner city."

Fu Yu finally said this to him.

"Well, it depends on the situation. Let's wait here."

Duan Xiao replied.

The two held hands and stood by the window one by one, waiting for the moment when the opportunity would really touch them. There was a sense of tension and tension as they stood shoulder to shoulder over the entire Shuntian Mansion and manipulated a game of puzzles on a spider's thread.

At one end is an invisible mass of endless darkness.

The other end is secretly connected with the safety of the entire Shuntian Mansion.

This is somewhat similar to the Shuntian change that changed the fate of many people five years ago, the same confrontation between two unknown forces, and an unknown attack.

The only difference is about five years ago.

Fucha Fuyu and Duan Xiao.

All directions Erji, and Duan Yuheng.

It's still two people in this world who don't know who each other is at all, but this time the initiative is in their own hands, so it's absolutely impossible for them to say that they can easily deal with the unnamed plan of Shuntian Mansion in front of them. throw in the towel.

three moments

Start from the outer horse road at the entrance of the House of Internal Affairs.

A group of people who ran counter to the people gathered in the entire imperial city quietly left the House of Internal Affairs and headed for Dengshikou again.

It was different from the lively occasion where the people in the city were about to see the Tibetans visiting.

They obviously have a special mission, and this mission is far more dangerous than the bustling streets. After passing by one or two, these young figures with eagle eyes are already Disappeared in the crowd without a trace.

On the street, carriages came and went, blocking half of the road from East Chang'an Avenue.

Along the way, many people who like to watch the excitement in the archway teahouses are eager to run to the high place, pointing to the people below, such as the huge and magnificent Tibetan yak has arrived outside the city, how gorgeous the wearer is, and the monks in red clothes and yellow hats. How majestic the treasure is is a variety of rare scenes.

Half a moment later, on the other side of the Inner City Taihe Palace, outside the military aircraft, figures in court clothes walked out of the side room in front of several sedan chairs.

They heard that the boss was waiting above the Shenwu Gate in the inner city. Not only that, they also heard that the emperor, the boss of Haidongqing and other Korean and Chinese military officials had already watched the tour of the Tibetan visit from the top palace wall.

This is a great opportunity for all parties to perform publicly.

For this reason, today Wang Jie, who was dressed in a white pheasant dress embroidered with crystal tops, arrived at the front with a swagger and a smile, and Tu Lichen, who was in the middle with a dignified face, was in an official uniform embroidered with mandarin ducks. Dahasu who dared to look worriedly at the location of someone in the outer city.When all these people get on the sedan chair at the gate, the bearers respectfully invite all the adults to get on the sedan chair.

The sedan chair leaning forward came up with the sound of shouting. Across the mine street outside the two red walls, Fucha Fu Heng, who was dressed in a yellow cotton armor with foam nails, was riding in front of a group of heroic Luan Yiwei. Immediately, the expression hurried across the street, ready to go to the outer city.

"drive--"

The young man with a young face and his braids swaying behind him held the reins and yelled at the wild horses. The people on both sides of the avenue in front of him looked at the usual bustle, but there was nothing unusual about each of them.

But in this bustling and noisy world, another half of the world is staging a conspiracy and chase about the dark world.

Moment of application

The moon hit the back of the person stuck to the base of the wall, and the gravel under the feet rolled over the soles of the shoes, making a slight friction sound.

Behind the dark house with the back wall, there are faint figures shaking.

There is a tiled house in the distance. Most of the kilns of this type are quite noisy outside, but this place is quiet at night. Looking at it like this, there is a covered black cloth carriage parked behind, and one or two unloaded two. A mule cart carrying stones.

This place is Yuanjiazhuang Lime Kiln.

When Duan Xiao and Fu Yu, who were leaning against the wall and carrying guns on their bodies, appeared together again with the night that finally showed a little bit, they had changed their clothes and mixed among the common people in the city. As for their purpose The place is the lime kiln area of ​​Yuanjiazhuang.

Just now, on the way from Dengshikou, they actually passed through a group of extremely low houses in the darkening sky behind them.

The gates of the houses in this area are very close together, as Zhang Ping'er and Bao Sanzi described, they are places for them to pick up rubbish under the rotten walls.

The eaves in front of them were very low, and there was an archway passing over the heads of the two of them in the previous section of the road.

The latter part of the road is connected to the wooden arch bridge and has to be walked on the bridge in the city.When passing by the inexplicably crowded lantern market, many lanterns were hung half an inch in front of the two of them, and there were folk artists holding torches and doing fire-breathing performances on the upper floor of the arch. top.

Before arriving at the place, they already had a search warrant in their hands. They also found a restaurant near here and asked a few words.

Fu Yu and Duan Xiao didn't ask anything else, they just casually asked if there was any smell coming out of the lime kiln recently.

The owner of the Jingshi small restaurant with thin tails and braids usually greets and sees him off. He has been familiar with the Yuanjiazhuang lime kiln for many years. When they asked about it, he also lay on the shopkeeper's table and talked to them in a low voice, and said so. sentence.

"Hey, you two don't know, the usual smell in this lime kiln is really strong."

"Don't talk about Fushou Pit. I think it smells worse than the big cesspit of the tenants' houses in the outer city. The smell only makes people sick and nauseous. We all hide in that place far away."

"And it's strange to say that it is common for lime kiln workshops to build a chimney to discharge the smell on the roof, but their own chimney is built in the workshop, but it is still upside down. I have seen them carry empty large airtight tanks around at night, the outsides are sealed with iron hoops and sheepskin soaked in wax, but the empty airtight large tanks What can there be?"

"Could it be that there are some 'treasures' that ordinary people can't see in this tank? It's really an anecdote in the world."

This is because the speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart.

Indoor chimneys designed to collect exhausted objects backwards.

It was specially sent to transport it away, but inside it was an empty sealed large tank.

And again, the smell of colorless, odorless white smoke is nauseating.

"..."

Fu Yu and Duan Xiao immediately looked at each other expressionlessly, but in their hearts, it was as if they were chasing a fine white spider's thread to spy on the mystery behind this lime kiln in Yuanjiazhuang. He and the rest of the people approached this place a little bit in the night.

In the distance, there are several black shadows shaking in that strange and gloomy lime kiln workshop.

The two forces are facing a head-on confrontation that makes the heartbeat silently speed up.

However, he never expected that this would be a violent arrest that happened close at hand, until, at the base of the back wall, a man from Costin received the letter and stepped forward, dangling as a bait, and slowly walked outside the Yuanjiazhuang.

"Da da--"

The faint sound of footsteps rolled over the white gravel on the ground.

The informant walking in the moonlight approached that place step by step, but at this moment, someone there also noticed someone approaching from outside. At that moment, both Fu Yu and Duan Xiao heard a black figure in the lime kiln planning something premeditated. stopped.

Immediately afterwards, in the blink of an eye or two, the group of people inside who clearly had a ghost in their hearts burst out of the door suddenly.

Outside, people from Haidongqing surrounded Yuanjiazhuang, but inside, a group of black shadows with their faces covered with black cloth attacked them fiercely.

With dozens of people stuck in such a narrow dark alley, no matter how you look at it, it is bound to be an arrest by the imperial court. In the dark, Duan Xiao leaned forward and pinched the villain who attacked him. With his arms, he stepped on the opponent's calf, causing the braided man to kneel on the ground with one leg and one knee.

Unexpectedly, the burly man roared angrily when he saw this, he did a backflip in the air, landed on both feet, and tried to attack Duan Xiao again.

The moment he swung his fist towards Duan Xiao, who was the enemy, while Duan Xiao, who was facing him head-on, took a step back, a scene was reflected in the dark pupil of one eye.

In this scene.

There is the moon that seems to be motionless behind them.

The looming airflow when dozens of people were fighting in an alley.

Duan Xiao's pupils constricted for a moment as if it had been frozen in place, on the back of this big man's hand, Duan Ou's pupils shrank, and then he turned his head fiercely and kicked him in the heart. .

The masked man who was a member of the spider in black gritted his teeth and dodged on his back.

But before he could attack Duan Xiao again, he was kicked by Fu Yu, who stepped on the wall and flew up, and kicked him directly from behind. roared loudly, and waved to kick Fu Yu forward, but was witnessed by Duan Xiao and went straight up to block.

"Ayu!"

Helping to solve the threat from the rear, Duan Xiao also confirmed that Fu Yu, who was next to him behind him, was okay. This was the first time he called Fu Yu by that name, and it made Fu Yu who was fighting hard, and almost lost his mind .

"I am fine."

But this was work, and the two of them were not distracted. Once again, they worked together to kick a punch in the air and kicked two teeth out of their mouths.

"—!!"

This time, the two bloody teeth flew out to the side in an arc.

"You, who the hell are you two!"

One of the group of black-clothed spiders finally questioned sharply during the confrontation between the two sides, but in the next second, he got a cold answer from the two opposite people who spoke in unison but was destined to make him face a miserable experience.

"South Army aircraft."

"Costin."

The author has something to say: the first time I called Ayu to achieve √

Old irons, can you see that our mascot Huabei pigs are committing scientific crimes again this time? ()

It's another night after revising the plot tt I don't think I can relax and sleep until I finish writing this unit... struggling to go to work.
