Demon detective

Chapter 186 Lover
"That was...a long time ago," said the old mother, "You guessed right. I used to be the oiran of the brothel. I was called Xiao Lian and nicknamed Lian Ji. At that time, I was still in the Holy Capital."

"Fang Wubing..." Dongfang Meiyan asked, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Of course it's my ... best friend!" said the old mother named Lian Ji, "At that time, Fang Wubing was still a catcher of your God Detective Department, he often came to patronize me, so he got along very well with me.

"However, our relationship is doomed to be fruitless." Lian Ji was sad, "Although he begged his master Yue Jinglei to let me join the inner guard through his relationship, we still have no fate.

"It's just unexpected that... he actually betrayed his master, betrayed the God Detective Division, and became the gangster he hated the most before!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Meiyan and Xu Zhen looked at each other, they did not expect this to happen.

"You said just now that you are sorry for Fang Wubing," Dongfang Meiyan asked, "What's going on here?"

"I..." Dongfang Meiyan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Back then, Fang Wubing asked me to join the inner guard, so naturally he wanted to make a name for me and wanted to marry me.

"However, no matter whether I am an inner guard or not, I will never erase my identity as the courtesan of the brothel. I am not worthy of him, so I rejected him. So... I am sorry for him. I don't know if his betrayal is related to me. .”

"Really?" Dongfang Meiyan was obviously skeptical, "That's all?"

"Yes," the old mother who called herself Lian Ji nodded, "Six years ago, I didn't know that Fang Wubing would carry out a robbery in Daguan City, and I didn't expect that he would be caught by mistake and imprisoned in the prison of Daguan City.

"I couldn't even imagine that he escaped from prison a few days ago!
"Because of my current status, I have learned a lot about Fang Wubing in the past six years, knowing that he stole the Buddha's head gold from Wanfeng Qianhang.

"So after seeing Buddha Head Gold, I personally followed this little brother, wanting to see what's going on? But I didn't expect to enter your ambush.

"I didn't tell the whole story beforehand, and I didn't want you to know my relationship with Fang Wubing, so as not to be suspected by you.

"You...you can search the Yaolou, Fang Wubing definitely didn't hide here!"

"This is also..." Dongfang Meiyan glanced at Xu Zhen first, then frowned, and muttered to herself, "Isn't it a coincidence?"

"During the past six years," Xu Zhen asked after thinking about it, "haven't you thought of a way to meet your old lover in the prison?"

"That's impossible," Lian Ji said, "Fang Wubing committed a felony, if he wants to see him, he can only use my identity as an inner guard, but I am doing secret work in Daguan City, how can I show it lightly to others? "

"Tsk tsk..." Dongfang Meiyan smacked her lips repeatedly and shook her head at the same time. From her point of view, she had probably done useless work again, and this Lian Ji was just Fang Wubing's old lover.

The reason why Fang Wubing left bloody words was because he felt that he was about to die, so he wrote the words "Lian Ji" to express his thoughts, but it was not to leave any clues.

"It's separated by a wall, but it's separated forever." Lian Ji's eyes welled up with tears, "Even though he's a thief, he's still the lover of the past. I thought that he would be executed, maybe only then can I be able to see him again." Take a look at him from afar..."

When Lian Ji was crying, Xu Zhen quietly came to Dongfang Meiyan's side and whispered something in her ear.

Dongfang Meiyan nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said to Lian Ji: "If you want to prove your words, then come with us!"

……

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the prison of the county yamen. The pale old mother, Lian Ji, had a registration check with Dongfang Meiyan, Xu Zhen and others before entering the prison.

The rain had stopped, but the air was still damp and tight.

The three of them, led by the county government officials, finally came to Sima Xin's room.

After Dongfang Meiyan explained her intention to Sima Xin, Sima Xin opened the stone door of the back room and let the three of them enter the back room.

There is a doctor in the back room, and he is taking the pulse of Fang Wu who is lying on the bed.

Seeing someone coming in, he got up quickly, but his face was full of worry.

"Doctor, how is it?" Dongfang Meiyan asked, "Can he wake up?"

"Wake up?" Lang Zhong shook his head helplessly, "I'm afraid it's only one or two sticks of incense time, he's injured too badly, he's really powerless!"

"Ah?" Several people were talking, but Lian Ji immediately recognized the person lying on the bed, it was Fang Wubing.

"No disease! No disease!" Lian Ji rushed forward quickly, tears welling up in an instant, "Why are you here..."

Originally, Dongfang Meiyan had already held the stone in her hands, fearing that Lian Ji would do something uncontrollable to Fang Wubing, but now it seems that it is obviously unnecessary.

Through Lian Ji's excited reaction, it is enough to see that she is showing her true feelings and not lying.

"What the hell...what's going on?" Lian Ji turned her head back and asked.

"Someone came to rob the prison and wanted to forcibly interrogate Fang Wubing," Xu Zhen said, "but Fang Wubing refused to do so, broke free from the hook that locked the lute bone, and died together with the other party.

"Although he still has one breath left, but... oh..."

"Before he passed out," Dongfang Meiyan added, "he wrote the word Lian Ji in blood on the ground, and we found Yaolou."

"Ah?" Lian Ji was stunned for a moment, and then cried bitterly, "Why... how could this happen? Isn't he already in prison? Why are there still people robbing prison... no disease... no disease... woohoo..."

Saying that, Lian Ji threw herself on Fang Wubing, and burst into tears: "I'm here, wake up, wake up, Wubing... woo woo..."

After that, Lian Ji stayed by Fang Wubing's side all the time, while Dongfang Meiyan briefly explained the situation to her.

Just after a stick of incense, as the oil lamp suddenly dimmed, Lian Ji found that Fang Wubing had lost his breath.

"No disease, no disease... no... no..." Lian Ji hurried to sniff, but found nothing.

"I'm coming, I'm coming..." At this time, the doctor who heard the movement rushed in with the medicine box in his arms, and said to everyone, "You all go out, let me try to save you..."

"Wubing..." Lian Ji cried until the pear blossoms were raining, her hands tightly clutching Fang Wubing and not letting go.

Xu Zhen had no choice but to drag her out with Dongfang Meiyan.

After a while, the doctor walked out of the room, sighing helplessly, which foreshadowed that Fang Wubing had died.

Hearing the bad news, Lian Ji immediately collapsed to the ground, sobbing silently.

However, just after she collapsed, Xu Zhen suddenly came to her, and said with a solemn expression: "Old mother, Fang Wubing has died, now...can you tell the truth?"

"Ah? You..." Lian Ji was shocked, and immediately looked at Xu Zhen with incredible eyes.
