[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie 1v1 solves the case)” Chapter 1 Rain [English]
byThe early spring in Shengjing is rainy, and the rain is continuous and dense.
Like a veil sweeping across the sky, the empty courtyard of the main hall of Jingzhao Mansion was completely covered.
On the stone steps in front of the main hall, Liang Weiping, the chief secretary of Jingzhao Mansion, took anxious steps back and forth, making the silent spring rain that moistened everything a little agitated.
“Master Liang,” came the inquiry from the servant of Jingzhao Mansion behind him, “Master Su’s carriage has stopped at the door of the mansion…”
“I know.” Liang Weiping’s heart tightened, and he held up his sleeves to wipe away a layer of sweat on his forehead.
Today is the day when Dali Temple was ordered to take over the serial rape and murder case from Jingzhao Mansion.
Liang Weiping had already known that the case was serious, but he never expected that the emperor would order his nephew, Su Moyi, the minister of Dali Temple, to personally go to Jingzhao Mansion to hand over the case.
Now that the giant Buddha has arrived at the door, Lin Wanqing, the clerk who has been responsible for recording the case, has not yet appeared.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
Even if it is an ordinary case, there is no reason to preside over the trial and wait for the record, let alone the person sitting in this room today is Su Moyi, the most ruthless official in the Southern Dynasty who is famous in Shengjing and is fearless…
He rubbed his sweaty palms on Guangxiu, stretched his neck and looked down the stone steps.
“Liang, Chief Liang!”
In the mist of drizzle, a thin figure vaguely ran towards me in the distance.
Her light gray yamen robe was stained with rainwater and was mottled in patches.There were two muddy marks on his knees, which made him look miserable and miserable.
“Master Liang!”
“Where have you gone?!”
Before Lin Wanqing could explain, Liang Weiping’s suppressed anger was sprayed all over his head and face.
She seemed to have foreseen it, and skillfully stepped aside, and then secretly raised her eyelids to look at Liang Weiping, looking a little unreasonable.
“On the way, something happened on the way and I was delayed for a while.”
Only then did Liang Weiping bother to look at Lin Wanqing.
The originally cold white face was caught in the rain, and the hairs were covered with a layer of small water drops, making it even paler.The long and dense eyelashes were slightly upturned, with two crystal raindrops hanging on them, about to fall.The pair of bright black almond eyes under the eyelashes shimmered slightly, revealing a little apology and a playful smile.
It makes people lose all their temper at the first sight.
After living for almost thirty years, this is the first time he has seen a man who looks so evil.If it weren’t for the Adam’s apple in front of her neck, Liang Weiping would have really wanted to test it for himself.
His thoughts were interrupted, and the anger he wanted to express disappeared.
“Wipe your face!” Liang Weiping took out a handkerchief from his waist angrily and patted it on Lin Wanqing’s face.
Lin Wanqing knew that she was wrong, but was not upset. She took the handkerchief with a smile, wiped her face randomly twice, and then bent down to wipe the muddy water on her knees.
“Were you hit by a horse or a car?” Liang Weiping asked angrily.
“No,” Lin Wanqing buried her head, her voice muffled, “I saw a little white dog fell into the drainage ditch and couldn’t climb out, so I pulled it.”
“You!!! Cough cough cough…” Liang Weiping was shocked by this answer. He was so anxious that he couldn’t take a breath. It was stuck in his throat and he suppressed a string of coughs.
“Master Liang,” the servant urged again from behind them, “Master Su is about to arrive at the meeting room.”
Liang Weiping calmed down, patted his chest, and took away the handkerchief that Lin Wanqing had wiped into a muddy color.He left a cold snort without being serious or slow, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Lin Wanqing, who knew she was in the wrong, suppressed her laughter and followed obediently.
“Is there anything to eat?” She turned sideways and asked in Liang Weiping’s ear.
Liang Weiping was startled, then turned sideways and asked, “Where are the snacks I asked you to carry back yesterday?”
Lin Wanqing shrank her neck and said in a low voice: “Feed that stray dog.”
“Me!!! Cough cough cough…”
Seeing that Liang Weiping was about to have another attack, Lin Wanqing was very quick this time and took the first step to support him, patting him on the back to calm him down.
“Youdao helps people to the end, sending Buddha to the West. I have rescued this dog, and I can’t let him starve, so I…”
“You are just meddling in other people’s business. Not only did you dirty your official uniform, you almost missed the official business!” Liang Weiping’s body trembled with excitement, and he finally suppressed his voice and said: “Did you know that the one who came today is Mr. Su, the minister of Dali Temple. If he punishes you for being dishonest, disrupting the administration of justice, neglecting his duties, and insulting the official authority…”
“Okay, okay,” Lin Wanqing said haha skillfully, while patting Liang Weiping on the back, he said with a smile: “Brother Liang, calm down, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I won’t do it again… But…” he paused, changed the topic and continued: “Do you have anything to eat?”
“…” Liang Weiping handed him a sharp look and took out two rice dumpling candies from his arms, “This is what you gave me yesterday. Let’s cushion my stomach first.”
“Ouch!” Lin Wanqing took it with a smile, quickly peeled one open and threw it into his mouth.
The gray eaves are covered with raindrops, like a crystal bead curtain.
The two of them followed the corridor and arrived at the side meeting room.The yamen servants were already in place, creating a solemn and solemn scene.
Liang Weiping couldn’t help but feel weak in his legs, swallowed subconsciously, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Wanqing and said: “You are responsible for recording. Don’t talk too much if the adults don’t ask. This is no better than when we usually discuss the case, so don’t show off your little cleverness.”
Lin Wanqing nodded without hesitation.
Liang Weiping finally calmed down his breathing, patted his front, took a deep breath, stepped across the threshold, pressed against the wall of the conference hall, and sat down at the small table behind the main seat.
Handing over and discussing the case is no different than a court hearing. Naturally, there are no instruments of torture, and there is no need to summon suspects and witnesses.
Lin Wanqing skillfully spread the rice paper on the table and dipped his pen in ink.
Slow but steady footsteps came from the back of the meeting hall from far to near, accompanied by the soft sound of friction of silk and satin, and the occasional knocking of rings.
Behind the Suzhou embroidered screen of ancient pines under the blue sky and white sun, two figures, one purple and one scarlet, walked up.
Lin Wanqing stared blankly at the figure hidden behind the screen before remembering that she had heard of Su Moyi’s name.
Since ancient times, all talents are young.
Mr. Su became famous at a young age and was good at writing articles.His uncle, the emperor, wanted to arrange a leisurely official position for him, but unexpectedly he was obsessed with prison.Since he passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, he has worked his way from Dali Temple to the rank of Minister of Dali Temple.
Because of his strong background and the support of the emperor, he didn’t have to look at people’s faces when handling cases, and he naturally made great achievements.
His promotion to this position did not rely solely on the royal family’s protection.
But perhaps because of this, Su Moyi was decisive in doing things and used very aggressive methods, leaving a reputation in the official circles of the entire Southern Dynasty as “the most cruel official who is not afraid of gods and ghosts”.
It is said that the death row prisoners under he were often tortured before they were executed.Some people even plead guilty in the hope of death in order to avoid living sin.
Lin Wanqing was thinking to herself, the two figures had already bypassed the screen.
The person walking in front must be Su Moyi, the third-rank minister of Dali Temple.
The hand holding the pen shook involuntarily.
Lin Wanqing felt a little uneasy out of nowhere and quietly raised her eyebrows.
What comes into view is a face with a moonlit sky and a rich and handsome face.Perhaps the purple official robe adds a bit of coolness to him, and the thirteen-piece gold and jade belt is pinched around his waist, making him have broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a tall and straight posture.
Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but let out a breath.
Upward, there is an outline carved by a sword.Deep brow bones, a high bridge of nose, thin lips that are pale and slightly cool, and a pair of deep black eyes like a bottomless cliff.
If you accidentally fall down, you will be shattered into pieces.
This appearance seems to be particularly inconsistent with his fierce reputation…
A drop of ink from the tip of the pen fell onto the spread rice paper with a “pop” sound, leaving an ink dot that quickly smudged away.
Lin Wanqing lowered his head, just in time to avoid the piercing gaze from his superiors. Naturally, he did not notice the pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, and frowned imperceptibly.
“Master Su,” Li Jingzhao, who was sitting under Su Moyi, said, “This case statement…”
“Let’s get started.” The man above looked away, his voice indifferent and indifferent.
Li Jingzhao smiled flatteringly, took the case handed over by Liang Weiping, and began to state the case loudly.
Those were several rape and murder cases that occurred years ago.
The victims were young women in their twenties who were raised by officials or businessmen outside the mansion.
Because it is an outer room, the sponsor who supports them does not come here often.Although the folk customs in the Southern Dynasties were open, the outer chambers were still low-status slaves, so there were not many people around to serve them, usually only one or two confidants, maids and women.
This actually gave the perpetrators an opportunity.
The bodies of the victims were all found in their bedrooms, lying on their backs, naked, with their eyes covered, and their hands and feet bound.
The injury examination showed that the fatal injury was caused by a sharp weapon left on the chest.
However, what made everyone’s hair stand on end was that the female corpse not only had traces of abuse on her breasts, but also had wounds on her lower body that had been stabbed repeatedly with sharp knives.
The identities of the victims are similar and the modus operandi is the same.
Therefore, Jingzhao Mansion roughly inferred that these cases were committed by the same criminal.
Lin Wanqing has been responsible for the records of this case. Li Jingzhao must have been afraid of causing trouble when facing Su Moyi’s questioning, so he specially appointed him to come and do the work.
Listening to Li Jingzhao’s precise explanation of the case, Lin Wanqing started writing quickly until there was a brief silence.
She looked up and saw a few smile lines that could kill a fly on Li Jingzhao’s shiny face.
he cleared his throat, deliberately slowed down his tone, raised his head and bowed to Su Moyi: “I caught the murderer of this serial rape and murder case yesterday.”
