[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 26 Injury [English]
byThird watch, midnight.
It is the moment when Wanjia is immersed in dreams.
Lin Wanqing followed Su Moyi and led people to surround the embroidery workshop.
The two of them had already inquired about the residence of the “mute tailor” beforehand, so they did not disturb others.
The knock on the door echoed in the quiet streets, with only the occasional barking of dogs and the sound of torches burning.
“Kick the door.”
Su Moyi gave an order, and the door was kicked open by Ye Qing and several government officials.
The jumping torch rushed into the courtyard, like a fire dragon stretching out its body, and the dark courtyard was suddenly brightly lit.
“Sir!” The yamen officer quickly glanced and quickly reported back, “There is no one.”
Su Moyi’s face darkened a bit.
This is just an ordinary small courtyard, with three rooms inside and outside. The furnishings are simple and can be seen at a glance.
It was impossible for the murderer to receive the information so quickly and escape before they arrived.
So…
“Check the floor and closet, there may be a secret passage.” Lin Wanqing said.
“Sir!” As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing’s voice came from the side room.
Lin Wanqing and Su Moyi followed.
This is a storage room decorated with fabrics and accessories.The officials pushed open a box filled with rags, revealing an entrance below.
Su Moyi took the torch from the person next to her, lifted her robe and walked down.
The secret passage is not big and can only accommodate one person at a time.Everyone walked for a while holding torches, and saw a faint light in front of them, like someone lighting an oil lamp.
Under the dim yellow oil lamp, there was a woman’s figure with her back to them.
Lin Wanqing was about to rush over, but was stopped by Su Moyi.
Ye Qing clenched the long sword he was wearing and shouted at the figure, “Dali Temple is looking for a murderer. Who is here?!”
The oil lamp trembled, but no one responded.The woman just sat there, motionless.
“Bah!” Ye Qing drew the sword in his hand, “I’m asking a question, answer it quickly!”
There was another breath of silence, and the figure still sat with his back to the visitor, never turning around.
Under the dim oil lamp, the woman’s gray hair was faintly visible.The hair on her hair is a woman’s bun. Judging from her slightly stooped figure, she must be a woman over forty years old.
Body shape?
Lin Wanqing was startled and her eyes stopped on her flat shoulders.
She suddenly remembered that the woman had never seemed to move from the time they rushed into the secret room until now.
Not even the faintest movement of breathing.
She pushed Su Moyi’s hand away and walked over to the woman to take a look.
It’s a mummy!
Judging from the weathering of her skin, she had been dead for at least nearly a year, and the murderer started committing crimes eight months ago.
“Sir!” Ye Qing on the side seemed to have discovered something, and his usually calm voice was also filled with a bit of panic.
Lin Wanqing looked over and saw an embroidery of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall – a charming smile, delicate and charming.
The dozens of beauties on the embroidery are all naked, lying or lying down with lewd expressions, as if their bodies are being played with.
However, the most chilling thing is that the breasts of those beauties are so realistically embroidered that you can even see the erect nipples.
Lin Wanqing almost vomited on the spot.
This murderer is a serious Oedipus and collector.
Probably because his mother was too cold or harsh, he never received any love from his mother, thus developing a low self-esteem and twisted character.
His extreme low self-esteem also caused him to be unable to have sex with women normally, so he needed to cover his eyes when committing crimes.
The death of his mother a year ago was an external pressure that he could not control and resolve.
Lin Wanqing guessed that this man wanted to gain his mother’s approval throughout his life, but he failed to get what he wanted until his death.
This regret turned into anger, and he began to stop moving, which is why he became what he is now.
When you don’t know the truth, you will always feel that the murderer is hateful.But once it touches their hearts, Lin Wanqing will inevitably feel sad.
“There is a secret passage here!”
Ye Qing’s voice brought her back to reality, and Lin Wanqing saw that there was a path behind the embroidery that led to the outside.
She braced herself to keep up.
This secret passage leads to an alley outside the embroidery workshop.The alley is long and quiet, extending to the river on one side and leading to the main road on the other.
Several people rushed to the river in unison.
There is no wind and moon tonight, and the clouds are thick.When the few people chased after him, they could only hear the gurgling water in the distance, and everything in front of them was pitch black.
Su Moyi asked someone to put out the torch and not make any sound.
Everyone slowed down their breathing.
There was a sound of water coming from a distant place. It was different from the sound of running water hitting rocks. It was the sound of someone wading in the water. The sound was urgent and panicked.
“Over there!” Everyone chased towards the other side of the river.
With a “crash” sound, the murderer realized that someone was chasing him and plunged into the dark river.
Seeing that he was about to be submerged in the night, Lin Wanqing reacted the fastest and jumped into the river when he recognized the direction.
In June, the river water was not cold.Lin Wanqing took a sharp breath and quickly dived under the man along the current.
She hugged his legs, stood up quickly, and knocked him into the river.
The water in the river was not deep and could not reach the man’s chest.But being kicked off so unexpectedly, he immediately panicked.
During the flutter, Lin Wanqing saw a cold white light.
he carries a dagger!
The murderer has been surrounded and has no other way out.In anger and panic, the knife was fluttered wildly, and the afterimage fell like raindrops, stabbing Lin Wanqing randomly.
The murderer was not tall, but he was a man after all, so his physical strength must be better than that of Lin Wanqing, a woman.
She quickly fell behind in dodging again and again.
Her feet slipped and she had no time to breathe. The murderer grabbed Lin Wanqing by her hair and pushed her into the water.
She lost her grip in an instant, and while fighting against the murderer’s strength, she also had to dodge the dagger stabs from he’s hand one after another.
The originally calm river surface was filled with splashing water.As her consciousness gradually blurred, Lin Wanqing struggled almost relying on instinct.
A ray of white light struck down, and Lin Wanqing closed his eyes when he saw that he was in danger of escaping. However, what was waiting for him was a powerful palm.
The collar was tightened, and she was lifted out of the water.
“If you die in pursuit, it doesn’t count as dying in the line of duty!”
She had just been soaked in water, and her ears were foggy. She couldn’t hear Su Moyi’s voice clearly, and could only vaguely see his face with veins bulging out of anger.
Lin Wanqing wiped her wet face and took several breaths to recover.
Su Moyi saw that she looked embarrassed. It was hard to get angry again, so he just said “Follow me” in a gentle and gentle way.After saying that, he turned his back and handed his hand to her.
Lin Wanqing subconsciously grabbed his sleeve.
“It’s easy to slip on the sleeves.” Su Moyi frowned and held her hand with a serious look.
The man’s fiery palm turned and held her hand firmly in his palm.The arms were linked together, causing her forearm to wrap tightly around his.
She was pulled ashore by Su Moyi.
The murderer has been arrested.
Perhaps because of the fierce struggle, several government officials stabbed him out of self-defense when they arrested him.After the murderer lost consciousness, he slipped into the river and took several sips of water. When he was pulled up, he was breathing weakly.
“Go find the doctor quickly!” Upon seeing this, Lin Wanqing rushed forward immediately.
Su Moyi pulled her back and said, “What are you going to do?”
Everyone looked at her with confusion in their eyes.
Lin Wanqing didn’t care so much, he shook off Su Moyi’s hand, found the cloak he had just thrown by the river, and helped the murderer hold down the bleeding wound.
“My mission is to bring suspects to justice.”
She pulled open the cloak in her hand, wrapped it around the murderer’s abdomen a few times, and said, “Whether he is alive or dead will be judged by the law.”
Su Moyi couldn’t resist her, so she had to tell Ye Qing to go to the city to find a doctor.
Seeing that the wound was bandaged, Lin Wanqing asked the officer to put the shackles on the murderer.
Changes only happen in an instant.
The murderer who fell to the ground suddenly woke up, grabbed the saber from the waist of the government servant beside him, and stabbed Lin Wanqing in the back!
“Hiss——”
The sound of the sword cutting into flesh rang in his ears.
Lin Wanqing had no time to react, she just felt herself being pulled away by a powerful force, and then fell into an embrace that smelled of pine wood.
With two “clang” sounds, the long knife was kicked to the ground.
The embrace turned her around, and she saw the murderer’s ferocious face.
He immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with several sharp knives on his body.Zhishuang stared at Lin Wanqing with those cloudy eyes.
Lin Wanqing was startled, and subconsciously reached out to hug the person holding her, but only felt a piece of warm wetness with the fishy smell of blood.
“S-Master Su…”
She was stunned for a moment, whimpering in her throat and almost unable to make a sound.
His nose was filled with the smell of he, and the smell of blood gradually covered up the pleasant scent of pine wood.
“Su Moyi…” Lin Wanqing muttered, gradually feeling that the hands holding her were losing strength.
“Su Moyi!”
Her strength suddenly slackened, and Lin Wanqing was unable to hold He’s suddenly falling body.
Under the blur of firelight, she could only see the shocking red color on the side of his waist.
*
The carriage galloped all the way, and Su Moyi was carried back to Dali Temple.
Some of the government officials helped the imperial doctor hold lamps, and some helped boil water.Ye Qing stood beside Su Moyi’s bed, anxious and at a loss.
Dozens of oil lamps were lit in the house, and everyone was busy coming and going.
Only Lin Wanqing grabbed her wet sleeves and stood blankly at the door, looking expressionlessly at the man on the bed whose robe was soaked with blood.
His hair bun and robe were not yet dry, and they clung to his body awkwardly.There are no longer any fine lines between the eyebrows that are usually frowned.
he just lay there, pale and weak.
Everyone carefully changed out of He’s wet clothes, and the imperial doctor sprinkled some coagulation powder on Su Moyi’s waist.
Because the wound was so deep, the coagulation powder was diluted in just a few strokes, so he had to use clean thick gauze to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
But as soon as he pressed it, blood surged out, and he had to replace it with another piece.
In just one cup of tea, three pieces of tea have been stained.
The imperial doctor was about to start stitching. In order to avoid interference, everyone present was cleared away. Only Ye Qing was holding a lamp and looking solemn.
“You have to talk to him while I’m stitching,” the doctor ordered while threading the needle, “don’t let him sleep.”
Lin Wanqing felt like vomiting as a churning feeling came over her abdomen. She covered her mouth and retreated to the wall, gasping for air.
Will he die?
When this thought came to her, she was suddenly startled.I couldn’t tell what it felt like, I just felt like the wall I was holding on was shaking.
I don’t know when it started raining outside. It was almost provocative, and it was determined to tear the night apart.
The oil lamp in Ye Qing’s hand dimmed and brightened again. After an unknown amount of time, the imperial doctor finally cut the thread in his hand.
The wound no longer oozed blood, but Su Moyi did not wake up.
Ye Qing’s voice of calling him never stopped, but every word fell into the night wind and disappeared into the rain in a blink of an eye.
The medicine to strengthen Qi and replenish blood cannot be fed, so everyone can only worry.
Only Lin Wanqing looked at the sleeping Su Moyi dully, like a stone statue.
In her impression, Mr. Su always seemed to be sitting upright and serious in speech.
He carries a natural coercion that makes people intimidated, like any monsters, ghosts, ghosts, and monsters that cannot be approached.
She suddenly remembered that the first time she met he was in the Jingzhao Mansion Court.
Because of her longing for prison, when she was young, she would secretly read the story books in the market and imagine what those famous ministers from past dynasties would look like in the blue sky, who could solve cases like gods.
But when she saw Su Moyi, she didn’t think about it anymore.
Because she felt that the minister of Dali Temple who was in charge of the world’s prisons should be like this.
It can only be like this.
“Sir…”
In the cold evening breeze, Lin Wanqing walked over and held Su Moyi’s hand.
It was cold, without any warmth.
“Sir,” she called him, her voice choked with sobs, “don’t sleep…”
“Don’t you want to know about me? Can I tell you about my childhood?”
The listener was silent, and the only thing that answered her was the wind moving the gauze curtain.
“He, they all say that you are a prodigy who is famous all over Shengjing. You started learning at the age of three and wrote poems at the age of four. But do you know, sir, that I started reading late when I was a child, and I was still not very literate when I was six years old. I recited the book “The Cleansing of Injustices” that you memorized ten times, but every time I forgot it after memorizing it…”
There was moist warmth on the back of her hand, and Lin Wanqing realized that her tears were uncontrollable.
“Later, I made up my mind that I could only eat one meal a day if I didn’t memorize it. As a result, I almost starved myself to death…”
Tears mixed with self-deprecating laughter, her voice became increasingly sad.
“Sir, I’m not like you… I’m not a genius… I don’t have noble people around me. It took me a hundred times more efforts than others to get here. I have always only been myself, and I never owe favors…”
“So you…don’t let me owe you…”
The wind blows the curtains, and the firelight dances lightly.
Lin Wanqing felt her hands tighten slightly.
Under the oil lamp held high, the man slowly woke up.The pale brows were stained with a bit of fatigue and sharpness, but the eyes reflected the dancing candlelight.
He just lay there quietly and stared at her, unable to hide the arrogance and disdain in his eyes.
“I saved you… because I didn’t want you to… hurt me.”
Su Moyi’s voice was hoarse, but no less mean.
he slowed down, but couldn’t help but said in disgust: “I can’t recite it ten times… ha…”
“You still have the nerve to say it?”

P.S. Do you feel Mr. Su’s awkward love?
