Jin Yi Shi Niang (Detective)

The Imperial Clothes and Guards Department is located on Chang'an Avenue next to the imperial city, and the journey is not too far away.

It was already past noon, and Lan Ying'er thought to herself that Lord Wen must be very hungry!Thinking of this, she asked Ah Liu again: "Master Ah Liu, do you have a cook in the Jinyiwei Department to cook for you?"

Ah Liu said: "Yes, but the taste is not as good as that of Miss Lan."

Lan Ying'er shuddered inwardly, and thought: That's right, I, Lan Ying'er, probably have few people in this capital who can compare to my cooking skills.

In this regard, she is very confident.

Because there were so many people in the capital, it took half an hour for the carriage to reach Chang'an Avenue.

Chang'an Street is basically a government office, such as the Secretary of the General Administration and the Banner Guard are closely adjacent to the Jinyi Guard.

The carriage stopped slowly, Lan Yinger carefully carried the food box, got out of the carriage, looked up, and saw that the house in front of her was three couplets wide, and there were long walls rising to the two sides. The ferocious stone lion with its mouth wide open, and the three big characters "Jinyiwei" on a black background and golden lacquer above the two vermilion lacquer gates look vigorous and powerful. Standing outside the gate, you can see that there is a large courtyard inside the gate, and there are several people in red clothes. Jin Yiwei came and went.

Ah Liu led Lan Yinger up the steps and into the gate.

Lan Ying'er went all the way in, and she could see that five couplets entered three times, and then on the left side of her head, she faintly heard the sound of the door unlocking, accompanied by the sound of miserable howls of pain, she couldn't help but feel the pain on her body. There was a layer of goosebumps.

"Master Ah Liu, is there a prison?"

"Yes." Ah Liu glanced to the left side of his head, and then led Lan Yinger up the corridor. After walking a few rooms, he said to Lan Yinger, "Miss Lan, this room is Mrs. Wen's." study."

After finishing speaking, Ah Liu turned and left.

At this moment, Lan Ying'er was quite nervous, she knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in."

It was Wen Chen's clear voice.

Lan Yinger's inexplicable heart palpitations are too strange. She has been with Wen Chen every day for several days in a row. What is she nervous about?

She took a deep breath, pushed the door lightly, and walked in.

The layout of the room is very simple, a long desk, a small desk next to the desk, and a row of bookcases against the wall at the back, on which papers are neatly stacked.

The tall and straight Wen Chen stood by the desk with his back to the door. Unlike usual, he was wearing a turquoise brocade robe today. Even if he was standing quietly at this moment, he could still feel how handsome he was. She has a magnificent appearance, a detached charm, and that kind of noble and jade-like temperament, which is completely natural.

Lan Ying'er approached Wen Chen, her eyes secretly lingered on the side of his face for a while, seeing that the corners of his brows were slightly raised, and his handsome face seemed to be turning towards her, she hurriedly cast her eyes on the desk.

Fortunately, Wen Chen didn't look at her, but focused on the desk.

There was a large white paper laid out on the desk, and the names of people were strewn across the paper. It was the five judges and the six deceased Qin Shihai. The lines connected them were the corresponding names. For example, Qin Shihai was connected with Luanyu, and his Madame, and some people from Yuzhenlou.In addition, there are Li Zecheng and Yuezhi.There are also some names that Lan Yinger doesn't know. Among them, the word "Kandong" is connected with Li Zecheng and Qin Shihai, and there is a question mark next to it.

It turned out that he was thinking about the case.

"Master Wen, you must be hungry!"

Lan Yinger put the food box on the edge of the desk, thinking about how to arrange the four dishes inside.

Wen Chen finally moved his eyes from the paper to the food box, and then raised his eyes to Lan Ying'er, his eyes slightly startled.

Today, Lan Yinger took out a set of lavender double-breasted straight-collared shirt and pleated skirt that she had kept at the bottom of the suitcase to wear, because she thought the Jinyiwei Department was a very serious and scary place, so she Dress more neatly than usual.

Wen Chen thought to himself that this girl always wears a blue denim shirt and trousers on weekdays, it is rare to see her wearing a lavender dress, and her hair is more delicately combed than usual, although she is dressed like an ordinary person I don't wear it normally, but just looking at it this way, I feel very amazing.

"Put it here!" He glanced at the small case of the book case, and then turned his gaze back to the book case.

Lan Ying'er hurriedly took three dishes, one soup, and a bowl of white rice out of the food box one by one and put them on the table.

Braised eel in brown sauce, stewed duck cubes, mixed with shredded cabbage, and a silver carp soup.

Wen Chen's originally calm eyes lit up when he saw these dishes, he hurried to the table and sat cross-legged, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and began to eat.

In fact, he was really hungry.

Lan Ying'er sat down opposite him, watched Wen Chen eat with gusto, watched for a while, felt uneasy, got up again, and went to the desk to read the case on the white paper.

She found that Li Zecheng's name was drawn in a circle, and the asparagus was connected with Li Zecheng, she was startled, and turned to look at Wen Chen: "Master Wen, did Li Zecheng buy asparagus to make snow cotton candy?"

Wen Chen paused for a moment on the bamboo chopsticks, and said coolly, "We don't talk about the case when we eat." After finishing speaking, he continued to eat happily.

Lan Ying'er saw that Wen Chen was eating so well, so she didn't bother anymore, she turned around and looked at the case again.

She wondered why Li Zecheng had to be connected with the word Kanto. Could it be that Li Zecheng also knew the person who knew how to make Kanto venison?

Seriously looked at it for a while, then turned around and found that Wen Chen had finished eating, she went to the desk to clean up the bowls, looked at Wen Chen and said, "Master Wen, you can eat something to fill up before lunch. Stomach, otherwise after noon, I am afraid that my stomach will be starved."

Wen Chen picked up the cloth towel that came with the food box and wiped his mouth, and looked at her: "Are you worried about me?"

"Ah!" Listening to this question, Lan Ying'er didn't know how to answer it.

When Wen Chen turned his back, a smile was slightly wiped from the corner of his lips, and he walked slowly to the desk, his eyes focused on the paper.

Lan Ying'er waited to pack up and asked, "Master Wen, is Li Zecheng him?"

Wen Chen took out a piece of snow-white paper from a drawer under the desk and laid it out on the desk, and said: "The morning before Qin Shihai's death, Li Zecheng went to buy asparagus and the snow cotton candy you mentioned. Those materials, but he does not admit that he sent snow cotton candy to Qin Shihai."

Lan Yinger frowned: "Who taught Li Zecheng how to make snow cotton candy?"

Wen Chen: "He said that he was taught by an old Taoist priest he met at the market in Liaojia Lane. On the day of the finals, he arranged for people to buy market stone cauliflower, and on the night of the finals, he made snow cotton candy. out."

Lan Yinger: "We went to his house the day after Li Zecheng made the snow cotton candy. It is indeed possible that he sent the snow cotton candy to Qin Shihai before we went that day."

Wen Chen: "Maybe he doesn't need to go."

Lan Yinger: "Then he is here now?" She cast a glance in the direction of the prison.

Wen Chen: "There are still many doubts, and it's not time to be imprisoned." His tone paused, "At least we must first find that Kanto native and that old Taoist priest."

Prison is not so easy to enter. When the evidence is not complete, Wen Chen will not easily send people to the prison.

Just when Lan Yinger was thinking about Li Zecheng, Wen Chen had finished researching the ink and picked up the pen.

"Let's start drawing the portrait of Changbo!"

Lan Yinger looked at the nib of the pen that had just been stained with ink: "Do you suspect that Uncle Chang is that Kanto native?"

Wen Chen didn't answer her, he suddenly thought of something, looked up at her: "Where is your master now?"

Lan Yinger: "Hezhou."

Wen Chen was not very surprised, he just had a little fantasy, what if her master came to Beijing with her!

Two months ago, he had someone go to the household department to check Lan Yinger's yellow book, and learned that she was from Hezhou. After her mother passed away last year, she brought her twin brother to Beijing from Hezhou.

But the strange thing is that Lan Yinger can speak Mandarin fluently, could it be that she learned it from her master?Or, her parents were dispatched to Hezhou, in Mandarin?

At that time, they only focused on checking her, but did not check her parents. It seems that after waiting for a while, they have to check.

Now that she knows that her master is in Hezhou, there is no need to think about it, because even if you send someone to go there quickly, it will take at least a month to go back and forth.The case couldn't have dragged on for so long.

"Your master is from Kanto?"

"No, it's... from Nanjing, but it was later exiled to Hezhou."

Wen Chen looked deeply at Lan Ying'er, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's begin!"

At this time, Lan Yinger was lost in memories: "When I was ten years old, my eldest uncle should be about the same age as my master, in his 40s! Now he should be 50 years old, and he is a little taller than me. , with a big belly, fair skin and no beard, round face, small eyes, short nose, and thick lips." She has a very good memory, and she can still remember things when she was ten years old.

Wen Chen followed what she said, and drew a portrait in a short while.

Lan Ying'er looked at it and said happily, "Yes, that's what the eldest uncle looks like." She didn't expect Wen Chen's painting skills to be so superb, and she could draw people so vividly just by dictating.

Wen Chen put the pen on the pen stand, looked at Lan Ying'er: "Where is the eldest uncle, do you know?"

Lan Ying'er shook her head: "I don't know, he had eaten at my master's restaurant twice at that time, and I was helping the master in the restaurant. The restaurant was very busy, and I didn't care what they were talking about."

"That's right." Wen Chen's brows were full of doubts, "When your master made snow cotton candy, where did he buy the asparagus?"

Stone cauliflower grows by the sea, and Hezhou is in the northwest, the sky is high and the earth is far away, so it is impossible to transport it there.

Lan Ying'er said: "Didn't I say last time that we can boil agaric cauliflower into jelly and then dry it into powder? When my master made it, he took the powder. He said that the uncle gave it to him. Yes, the amount is not much, and it disappeared once I made it. At that time, I was also curious, so I asked how to make this powder, so I could know how to make snow cotton candy."

Wen Chen glanced at the window lattice.

Lan Ying'er felt that Wen Chen seemed to have something else to do, so she said, "If Mr. Wen has nothing else to do, then I'll leave first."

"Hold on."

Wen Chen took out a document from under the desk and handed it to Lan Yinger. Lan Yinger saw that it was Wen Chen who had registered Ye Wan under his name.

"Thank you! Mr. Wen."

Lan Yinger happily handed the document back to Wen Chen.

Wen Chen put away the documents, and said, "I won't go to your place to eat tonight."

Lan Yinger nodded: "Oh! Good."

Wen Chen stared at her steadily: "Did you forget something?"

Lan Yinger frowned slightly: "What? What is it?"

Wen Chen: "You promised that as long as I attribute Ye Wan to my name, you will tell me why you want to enter Yingtian Mansion."
