[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 25 Brothel [English]

Su Moyi was left in the palace to have dinner.

In the evening, he said goodbye to the Queen Mother, got on Ye Qing’s carriage at the palace gate, and prepared to return to Dali Temple.

The two of them left Danfeng Gate and passed Yongxingfang.Ye Qing suddenly parked his car next to a stall, lifted the curtain and said, “Sir, there is a car behind us. It has been following us since we left the palace gate.”

Su Moyi pinched her eyebrows and said calmly: “I’ve discovered it a long time ago.”

Ye Qing raised the sword in his hand, “Do you want to capture the person and ask him clearly?”

Su Moyi lifted half of the car curtain and saw a two-wheeled vehicle falling not far behind.The people inside were also opening the curtains and looking out: it was a man with a white face and no beard. When he opened the car curtain, his orchid fingers attracted special attention.

Su Moyi sighed and said helplessly: “He is from the Imperial Grandmother.”

“Then…” Ye Qing hesitated, “Why don’t you humble yourself and lure them away?”

“No need,” Su Moyi leaned against the car wall with a sullen face, “Let’s go directly to Pingkangfang.”

“Ah, ah?” Ye Qing thought he heard wrongly.

“You go back to Dali Temple and bring all the files on the cases I have to deal with recently.” He looked impatient, tapping his knees with his long fingers, and added: “I have been staying there for the past few days.”

Su Moyi’s decision to stay elsewhere was actually planned in advance.

Since he briefly lost control of Lin Wanqing that day, he deliberately avoided her for several days in a row.Including going to the Chang’an Palace today, nominally to visit the Queen Mother, but in fact just to delay every moment away from Dali Temple.

But moving somewhere else for no reason can feel strange.In particular, Lin Wanqing is very clever and cannot be misunderstood by her that she is hiding from her with a guilty conscience.

Now the Queen Mother has sent people to follow her. She must have heard about the incident where he jumped into the pool to save someone.

Su Moyi was too lazy to explain, so it was better to use actions to prove that he was not a good man, and he didn’t have to go back to Dali Temple, killing two birds with one stone.

He asked Ye Qing to park the car in Nanqu and walked out.

On the other side, in a wonton shop in Dongshi, Lin Wanqing, who had not seen Liang Weiping for a few days, didn’t even notice that someone was missing from Dali Temple recently.

She stuffed a wonton from the ladle into Liang Weiping’s mouth and said, “Nothing happened between me and that dog official!”

Liang Weiping swallowed the scalding wontons in his mouth and slurred his words, “I believe you, you idiot! When he came to my Qingya Residence that day, he almost tore off my roof. If you hadn’t used any charming tricks to make him comfortable, would he let you go so easily?!”

Lin Wanqing’s face suddenly became unnatural, and she defended: “His inhumane temperament, I’m afraid even if I use any means, it won’t help.”

“Eh! You don’t understand this.” Liang Weiping swallowed his wontons, pointed at Lin Wanqing with a ladle and said, “When this man’s ears are at their softest, that’s when he feels comfortable being served. I’ll keep it and he will agree to whatever you ask!”

“Bah!” Lin Wanqing was too lazy to say more to Liang Weiping. He took out two pennies from his pocket and put them on the table before returning to Dali Temple.

Su Moyi doesn’t know what she’s been busy with recently. If he doesn’t send errands to Lin Wanqing, she will have nothing to do.

In order to avoid her own random thoughts, she simply took out the schedules of all the rape and murder victims and cleared them up again.

The four deceased were all singers in Pingkangfang Nanqu. They were over thirty-five years old and had never seen a man before their death.

The first two died in October, one in February, and the last in May.

According to her previous judgment of the murderer, he is a twisted and low-self-esteem person. Such people usually only attack familiar people.

And almost all the perpetrators of rape and murder cases have a history of rape.

The reason why it turns into rape and murder is usually because the sudden changes and trauma suffered in life are difficult for them to accept, so they vent their anger on the victim.

Perhaps, starting with rape cases will be a breakthrough.

Because in this type of crime, usually the victim can provide useful information about the murderer.

It seems that Pingkangfang is still the key to a breakthrough, and she is almost certain that the murderer must be lurking inside.

But, what method is used to prevent people from finding he?

Lin Wanqing rubbed her hair irritably and decided to visit Pingkangfang again tonight.

However, what she didn’t expect was that the madam from Nanqu told her that the flower girls she met last time had already been ordered by the husband who came with him that time.

Seeing that they got to know each other, the madam took Lin Wanqing to the private room on the third floor, and the ladies just came out of it.

When the door was knocked open, the room was filled with aloes and tea. Lin Wanqing and Su Moyi had not seen each other for many days. They looked at each other and were both stunned for a moment.

Su Moyi was the first to react, and faced Lin Wanqing’s surprised look and explained, “I’m here to ask questions.”

It seems that he is afraid that she will misunderstand that he is not doing his job properly and is just looking for fun.

But after explaining it, Mr. Su regretted it very much. Why did he have the illusion that he sneaked into the brothel but was caught by his wife.He put his fist to his lips and coughed twice, then seamlessly returned to his usual serious self, lifted up his robe and sat back on the couch.

Lin Wanqing didn’t think much about it. She thanked the madam, walked over and sat next to Su Moyi.

There are two stacks of files neatly placed on the rosewood desk. There is a pen holder in front of it, and the pens on it are still hung in the same order.

Su Moyi brought his own paper and pen.

So are tea and tea pots.

Lin Wanqing didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh for a moment, so she just picked up the file that Su Moyi had opened – the rape and murder case.

It turns out that this person is here to help her investigate the case.

“Sir,” she recalled to Su Mo, “I still have a few questions to ask.”

The flower ladies sat back tremblingly.

Lin Wanqing took out the doubt points that he had sorted out before, took out a pen, and started asking questions.

“Have you ever heard of any rape cases in the brothel in Nanqu?”

As soon as the question came out, everyone fell silent.

Lin Wanqing saw this and comforted him: “You don’t need to tell the victim’s name.”

A flower girl couldn’t help but whisper, “Yes, there are, but no one will report the crime.”

“Why?”

The flower girl whispered: “It’s not that no sisters have reported to the government before. It’s just that brothel girls are selling themselves for work. If you report such a thing to the government, the government will only ridicule and ridicule. Who would really file a case and investigate.”

Lin Wanqing felt that her heart was a little blocked, and asked again: “Sister, have you ever heard anyone talk about the prisoner in the rape case?”

“I have heard,” another flower girl said, “It is said that that man likes to attack from behind, and he has to cover people’s eyes when doing that. Oh! It is said that he also bites off the nipples of several girls.”

“Is there more?” Su Moyi couldn’t help but interject, and her harsh tone made the flower lady who had just spoken tremble and almost bite her own tongue.

She hesitated and said: “Nu, I have also heard that…”

Lin Wanqing immediately glanced at him and said, “Your Excellency is busy with official duties, so I’ll leave this inquiry to the humble official.”

“…” Su Moyi had no choice but to immerse herself in doing her own thing.

Lin Wanqing’s subsequent questions were all gentle and gentle.She’s voice is like a light red veil in the room, mixed with the smell of agarwood, which is a bit intoxicating.

Su Moyi, who was reviewing the case files, endured it several times, but finally couldn’t help but look up at her.

The light in the room is bright, illuminating people’s micro-expressions in detail.

Unlike most people in prison, Lin Wanqing’s eyes were gentle when asking questions. He was not arrogant or bossy, as if it was just a greeting between friends, without any airs of interrogation.

She would also say “no problem” with a smile, and would gnaw on her fingernails when she was fascinated.

The candlelight gradually dimmed. When Lin Wanqing finished asking the last person, the night was already deep.

Su Moyi looked at the report in her hand, which had only added two lines of words from the beginning to the present, and rubbed her forehead in frustration…

“Sir,” Lin Wanqing packed up the things on hand, “I’ve finished my humble questions.”

“Well,” Su Moyi picked up the pen, but the corner of her eye fell faintly on the corners of her robe, “What’s the gain?”

“The deceased and the victims were in different brothels in Nanqu,” Lin Wanqing looked at the note in his hand and said, “So I asked these brothels if they had anything in common.”

“Is there any?” Su Moyi asked.

“Yes,” Lin Wanqing pointed to a few lines on the file and said, “Girls in brothels need to learn piano and poetry, so every family will compete to hire a good master.”

She paused and then said: “As well as the girls’ clothes, the most famous tailors in Shengjing will be hired to make them. In addition, the nuns who teach the girls about boudoir matters need to be investigated slowly.”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Lin Wanqing did not notice that Mr. Su’s face had quietly turned red from the tips of his hair to the root of his neck…

After she finished speaking, she put away her things, stood up and said, “It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave now.”

The green-grey man stood up and leaned over to pick up the written transcript.

“Wait,” Su Mo recalled her.

He suddenly remembered that the car that had been following him today had also parked outside Nanqu with him just now. If they saw Lin Wanqing walking out of here so late at night, I wonder what weird things the imperial grandmother would do.

He stood up and walked to the window, gently pushed open the lightly covered window and said, “Have you seen the two men below?”

Lin Wanqing walked over and looked out for a long time, wondering: “Where is the man?”

Su Moyi pointed to the two tall women in front of the brothel across the street and said, “Those two.”

“Isn’t this… a woman?”

Su Moyi couldn’t help but sneer, “You are allowed to dress up as a man, but other men are not allowed to dress up as women?”

Lin Wanqing choked and stopped talking.

he put down the rain curtain in front of the window and continued: “These two people followed me to Pingkangfang. They thought it was too conspicuous to be men standing outside, so they changed into women’s clothes. This way they can’t be distinguished from the flower girls who are soliciting customers.”

“This was sent by the Imperial Grandmother to monitor me.” Su Moyi sat on the couch and picked up the tea pot. “Last time at Taiye Pond, your falling into the water made the Imperial Grandmother suspicious. If you don’t want to cause more trouble, be careful when you go down so that you don’t get discovered.”

“Oh…” Lin Wanqing responded, put away her things and left.

As she walked to the door, before she could push it open, she heard the sound of a teapot being knocked over from behind.

There was a bang and water splashed everywhere.

Su Moyi seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. She looked at Lin Wanqing with empty and clear eyes. The teapot in her hand was broken into pieces and the teapot was soaked on the robe.

“Sir?” Lin Wanqing was also startled by his appearance, and walked over in confusion. Just as he was about to pat his shoulder, his hand was grabbed by Su Moyi.

“I know!” he suddenly became excited.

“What do you know, sir?” Lin Wanqing asked, her wrists hurting from being pinched by he.

Su Moyi didn’t care at all, and pulled Lin Wanqing to stand up suddenly, “That murderer, I know why we haven’t been able to find him!”

“Ah?” Lin Wanqing didn’t expect that this was what he was talking about, and asked, “Why?”

“Because we’re always looking for men!”

Lin Wanqing blinked, “Rape and murder case… Do we still need to investigate women…”

“Confused!” Su Moyi shook off Lin Wanqing’s hand with hatred, pushed open the window and pointed at the two people following him: “This is the kind of man we are looking for.”

“When it comes to rape and murder cases, the government’s primary suspects are men, and no one will investigate women.” Su Moyi took the transcript from Lin Wanqing’s hand and started to read it.

“But it is difficult for a man to enter a woman’s boudoir at night, let alone during the day? These cases all occurred during the day, which shows that the murderer is not suspected at all.”

There was a flash of candlelight in front of my eyes, and the broken link in my brain was finally connected.

Lin Wanqing hurriedly went under the firelight and went over all the details of the entire case.

The time of the crime was daytime; the method of committing the crime was binding; the season of the crime was either late autumn or early spring, or late spring or early summer; the wounds of the deceased showed different forms, including stab wounds with a thick blunt instrument, scratches with sharp blades, and the nipples were neatly cut off by something…

The two people’s eyes stayed on the clothing column recorded in the transcript.

The murderer is a tailor!

The crime was committed during the change of season because it was the time to sew new clothes; tailors would bring a tape ruler and scissors. The tape ruler was used for binding, and the scissors were the murder weapons!

No one would think it inappropriate if a tailor disguised as a woman had to be alone with a woman to make clothes for her.In this way, the murderer has the conditions to commit the crime.

“Yes!” Lin Wanqing’s lips trembled because of excitement, “I remember a flower girl said that there is a seamstress with first-class skills in Nanqu, and everyone will spend a lot of money to get his customization.”

“He is mute?” Su Moyi asked.

Lin Wanqing was startled and looked at Su Moyi with a ghostly expression. Finally, she nodded slowly and said in disbelief: “How do you know he is…”

Su Moyi couldn’t wait to rush out.

he picked up a cloak from the clothes rack on the side and put it over Lin Wanqing.

“He is not surrounded by rough guys from the yamen. These singers and musicians are so sensitive to sounds. If he didn’t pretend to be mute, how could this man’s identity be hidden for so long?”

Su Moyi opened the door and said to Ye Qing in the other room: “Go to Dali Temple to take someone with you, and go to the embroidery workshop with me.”
