[R18] Dali Temple.Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1) – “Dali Temple. Qing (Shuangjie solves the case 1v1)” Chapter 51 Night Detective [English]
byAt midnight, there was a cold moon in the sky.
The halo was quiet, reflecting three ghostly figures in the corner.
In early autumn, there was fog in the mountains at night, which happened to hide the figures of the three people crouching among the shrubs in the mine.
The patrols here will mainly be around the entrance and the ore warehouse. Su Moyi calculated the time just now and found that it takes about two-quarters of an hour to go back and forth.
When he visited with Zhang Ren earlier, he had paid attention to the patrols and guards here, and roughly noted several weak locations.Now, following He’s previous memories, several people arrived outside the warehouse where the black ore was stored quite smoothly.
Several people climbed onto the roof, removed the gray tiles under them, and jumped off the roof.
The warehouse is very large, and the windows are all locked.The cold moonlight spread out from the cracks in the window, silvery white like frost.
Using the dim light, a few people managed to find the wooden boxes that Lin Wanqing saw in the afternoon.She reached out and touched something cold on the wooden box, like a lock.
Su Moyi took out a fire stick and a candle from her arms.
“嚓——”
The firelight reflected the look of he frowning and holding his breath, and a little orange light shone like a mysterious eye in the silence.
By the firelight, the coldness just now finally showed its shape.It was indeed a lock, installed in the opening of the mahogany box.
“These are the boxes.” Lin Wanqing took the short candle from Su Moyi’s hand and moved closer. Under the firelight, they saw several rows of mahogany boxes, all covered with a layer of white paraffin.
Su Moyi touched the lock on the wooden box with a gloomy expression.
This group of people is really meticulous. It’s no wonder that they can run private mines for many years without being noticed by the court.
However, Lin Wanqing calmly took off a small silver hairpin from her bun, pulled out a twisted silk hairpin on it, and revealed a silver needle under the hairpin.
“What are you doing?” Su Moyi pulled her and asked in a low voice.
Lin Wanqing shook his hand away nonchalantly and said, “Unlock it.”
Su Moyi was stunned. He didn’t expect that she could use such sneaky tricks.
Lin Wanqing was focused on the lock at this time, and did not bother to explain to the serious Mr. Su.
The silver needle entered the hole, and with a slight tap, the lock ring at the top popped open lightly.
Lin Wanqing smiled and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard a small sound that sounded together with the lock ring – the sound of cold iron sliding through the air.
“Push——”
The candle in his hand went out in just a moment.
The vigilance of investigating crime scenes all year round makes her uneasy.
She quickly raised her head and looked around, and found that the doors and windows here were tightly closed. If the night wind outside the house came in, it would not be able to blow out the candles.
Lin Wanqing’s hands shook. When she reached out to touch the candle again, she found that the candle seemed to be shorter – the cut was flat.
“There is a mechanism!” she said to the two people behind her with a trembling voice.
The already uneasy hearts of several people were raised again, and they did not dare to act rashly again.
Su Moyi took the hairpin from her hand and motioned for several people to lean against the side of the wooden box.
The silver hairpin went into the hole and made a crisp sound.Then there was the slight movement of the iron tool sliding through the air, and something was cut into two pieces.
It seems that these people not only locked the box, but also set some exquisite mechanism on the lock.As long as someone tries to open the lock by force, the sword in the dark can cut him to pieces.
What should we do now?
“Sir,” Ye Qing said, “Or we scrape off the paraffin and dip the marking liquid into the cracks in the box?”
“No,” Su Moyi quickly stopped him. “In addition to protecting these goods from water on the bottom of the ship during water transportation, these paraffins also serve as sealing marks. If Zhang Ren finds that a piece of paraffin has been scraped off, these things will not be able to leave the mine at all.”
“Then what should we do…” Ye Qing frowned.
“Sir,” Lin Wanqing suddenly said, “If I guess correctly, these marking fluids are oily and neither soluble in water nor wine.”
“Yeah,” Su Moyi nodded and responded in a neutral tone.
Lin Wanqing continued: “The main component of paraffin is wax oil, which is also an ingredient that is insoluble in water and wine. Besides, oil and oil are usually miscible, so do you want to…”
Su Moyi understood immediately.
He took the candle in Lin Wanqing’s hand and moved closer to the paraffin on the wooden box. As the fire burned, the paraffin showed signs of softening and melting.He then took out the vial in his arms and put a few drops of marking liquid on it.
It really blended in.
Not only that, after the paraffin solidifies again, it also has a protective effect on the taste of the marking fluid.
“How is this thing marked?” Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but curiously asked as she watched Su Moyi immersed herself in the things in her hands.
When she leaned over, her hair fell down and scratched the side of Su Moyi’s face. He couldn’t help but get closer, but pretended not to care and said, “It depends on the smell.”
Lin Wanqing leaned over again and sniffed Su Moyi’s hand, “But I didn’t smell it.”
Su Moyi’s hand shook when she teased her, and she could hardly hold the bottle in her hand.
But he didn’t hide. He looked at Lin Wanqing with fascination in his eyes, but he said words that could make people angry.
“You’re not a dog, so of course you can’t smell it.”
“…”
What’s going on with this dog officer?!Doing business with personal emotions mixed in!
But the humble Qing could only roll his eyes and scolded Su Moyi a thousand times in his heart.
Of course Su Moyi didn’t know, and handed Ye Qing a short candle, “Go and mark those, the more the better.”
Lin Wanqing looked at herself with empty hands, feeling aggrieved by Mr. Su who was obviously not treating people right.
If not for this case, who would want to talk to him!
She gritted her teeth, turned around and moved a little further away from Su Moyi, leaning against the wooden box and picking her fingers out of boredom.
The moon’s shadow slants to the west, and the clear light gradually weakens.
Lin Wanqing looked at the two people who were still busy and reminded: “The patrol here only happens every two-quarters of an hour. You’d better do it quickly, otherwise…”
As soon as he finished speaking, there were some rustling footsteps outside the house.
There was a firelight on the window lattice gradually approaching, like a fire dragon stretching its body in front of the eyes, and an orange-red halo gradually lit up in the warehouse that was dark just now.
“…” Lin Wanqing twitched the corner of her mouth, really saying whatever she was talking about…
Su Moyi and Ye Qing also noticed the fire behind them, and they quickly blew out the candles in their hands.
Only then did Lin Wanqing feel panicked. Just now, he was too concerned about the locks of these wooden boxes and didn’t have time to observe the surrounding environment. Now he just felt that his eyes were dark and he didn’t know where to hide.
“Qing Qing!” Su Moyi’s suppressed voice sounded in his ears, and he could tell that he was very anxious.
The next moment, Lin Wanqing felt her waist tighten, and she was staggered by an arrogant force, hitting a slightly hard male body sideways.
“Well…” The two of them groaned in pain at the same time.
Lin Wanqing was pinched by Mr. Su’s muscles, and Su Moyi was pressed by Lin Wanqing’s whole body.
There was a soft sound of the door being pushed in the distance, firelight rushed in, and his eyes lit up.
Only then did Lin Wanqing realize that Su Moyi had taken her and hid in an empty box next to her in desperation.
Although the box is large, it is really difficult to fit She and Su Moyi into it.
So now, they are huddled together in an extremely intimate posture, face to face.Su Moyi hugged her with both hands and sandwiched her with her legs, and then she was barely able to stuff herself in.
Lin Wanqing was hugged by him until he almost died, but she resisted the struggle and did not dare to say a word.
And Su Moyi wasn’t much better. He couldn’t even remember how long it had been since he hugged her like this.
She is still fragrant and soft, especially when they are facing each other, the soft flesh on her chest seems to be growing. In just a few days, it seems to have grown in size.
Thinking of this, Mr. Su, who had always been serious, felt that something about him had begun to become “not so serious”.
He had no choice but to quietly move his lower body back and put a little distance away from Lin Wanqing.
“Boom!”
There was a sudden sound in the quiet night, and Su Moyi quickly straightened her body.
he Unexpectedly, with just that slight movement, the fire folding piece in his arms actually slipped out and fell into the wooden box, making a very thin muffled sound.
Of course, the people on patrol also heard it. The steps that were about to leave were stopped, and someone shook the torch in their hand in the direction of the sound.
“I seem to hear something.” One person said.
There was silence in the warehouse, and Lin Wanqing heard another person’s voice, “There is no sound, don’t be suspicious.”
The person who heard the sound seemed unwilling to give up and walked closer to the two of them with a torch.
Breathing stopped, Lin Wanqing lay on Su Moyi’s chest and heard Mr. Su’s heart beating as fast as a drum.
You know, there are private soldiers stationed in the private mines here.
If a few people are really discovered, Zhang Ren can kill people and mutilate their bodies.
If Mr. Su died in such a wilderness, even if there was an emperor or a queen mother behind him, he would probably end up in a situation where his body could not be recovered.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but become nervous.
“I told you there is no sound,” another person shouted, “Hurry up, you have to go somewhere else after the patrol here. It’s so slow, can you sleep at night?”
Hearing his companion’s impatience, the man finally relaxed his guard and turned to leave.
However, the torch stopped at this moment.
“No!” he suddenly said loudly: “It smells like flint.”
Lin Wanqing was startled when she heard this, and she almost forgot.If the fire is lit, it will indeed leave some burning smell…
“Someone has been here!” The man waved the torch and came looking for the smell. “The smell hasn’t dissipated yet. It must have just arrived!”
Hearing that his companion was so sure, the few people accompanying him also increased their vigilance and followed him.
“Bang!”
The sound of the wooden box being opened made Lin Wanqing shiver.
If her guess was correct, these guards were probably checking all the empty boxes in the warehouse to make sure there was no one inside.
She secretly grasped the dagger at her waist, thinking about her chances of winning if she rushed out from here.
No…
The odds of winning are zero.
Not to mention that there were several guards in the warehouse alone. Even if they rushed out of the warehouse, there were still nearly a thousand troops stationed outside.
They had almost no equipment, the mountain road was difficult to travel, and it was at night.
He rushed out without intending to die.
“Bang!”
There was another loud sound of the wooden box being kicked open, and Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but tremble.
Seeing that several people were approaching, she raised her head and looked at Su Moyi.
Master Su pursed his lips tightly, his face turned pale, and he moved one hand to hold the dagger at his waist tightly.
It seemed that Su Moyi must have thought of what she had just thought about.From the look of he, it seems that he is really in dire straits.
“Bang!”
The wooden box beside him was kicked open, and the sound was already close at hand.
Lin Wanqing closed her eyes and took a deep breath, ready to fight hard.
“Over there!”
Suddenly, a guard shouted, “There’s someone outside!”
Lin Wanqing was startled and raised her head slightly. When she looked through the gap in the wooden box toward the window, she saw a black shadow rising into the sky and flashing past.
The man was slender and graceful, and she was momentarily distracted when she caught a glimpse of him.
It was a woman, and the way she climbed over the walls didn’t look like Qinggong, but more like… a dance.
Her heartbeat skipped a beat, and Lin Wanqing felt a chill down her spine.
She suddenly felt familiar, as if she had seen this figure before.
But where?
“Let’s go!”
His thoughts were interrupted by Su Moyi. Lin Wanqing came to his senses and was pulled out of the wooden box by he.
Several people took advantage of the chaos and fled the mine.
When they returned to the small courtyard, it was the third quarter of Yinshi.
The moon has set in the west and the sky is still dark.
No matter how fast the movement in the mine reaches Zhang Ren’s ears, it will probably have to wait until dawn at the earliest.
The three of them went back to their rooms and changed out of their night clothes. Ye Qing found a secluded place and set fire to it.
Lin Wanqing was lying on the couch, upset.
Zhang Ren is such a cautious person, if he finds someone breaking into the mine at night, maybe all the ore will be investigated, and then the trip to Hongzhou will still fall short.
But after a whole day of toiling, walking on mountain roads and running for her life, she was really tired, and she slowly fell asleep thinking about these problems.
