Da Song Private Investigator

Time flies, and summer will pass in a blink of an eye.

After the midsummer in Chang'an City passed, everything began to fall, which made Hualang and the others deeply feel that autumn in Chang'an came earlier than autumn in the south.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, Hwarang and the others ushered in the New Year's Qiqiao Festival.

Originally, everyone thought that this kind of festival should be more lively, but in the past Qiqiao Festival, Hwarang and others always encountered murder cases of one kind or another, so they never had a good time.

But this year, they had a vague premonition that this Qiqiao Festival might not be easy.

And it happened exactly like this. On the evening of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, when Chang'an City was bustling with people coming and going, a middle-aged man hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and went to the government office. is tense.

There are many passers-by on the street, many of them recognize this man, so it is necessary to have a few words with him.

"Hey, isn't this Miao Yuanwai, why are you walking in such a hurry?"

"Yeah, where is this going?"

Many people who knew the man kept saying hello to him, but he ignored all of them and rushed towards the mansion as usual.

When the man rushed to the government office, Hua Lang, Li Jingan and others were chatting in the backyard, and they were talking about the excitement on the streets tonight, and just as they were talking, the man knocked on the drum outside the government office.

The sound of the drum meant that someone reported the crime, and everyone ignored the conversation and rushed to the hall.

The moonlight tonight was not very good, but after lighting the lamps in the hall, it was still quite bright. After the yamen servant brought the drummer into the hall, Li Jingan immediately asked, "Who is in the hall, and why are they beating the drums?"

The visitor quickly knelt down and said, "Caomin Miao Youde, the drumming is because Caomin's daughter is missing."

After hearing Miao Youde's words, Li Jing'an and the others were startled and said, "Your daughter is missing, what's going on?"

"Returning to the adults, it's like this. Caomin's daughter is called Miao Fang. After dinner tonight, she suddenly disappeared. Caomin searched everywhere she could, but couldn't find it. Caomin was impatient, so she came to the government office. Reported."

After Miao Youde finished speaking, Li Jingan frowned slightly and said, "How did your daughter disappear?"

"This... this grassroots also doesn't know!"

Hearing Miao Youde's answer, Li Jingan snorted coldly and said, "It's nonsense. Since your daughter disappeared, there must be a reason. As a father, you don't know?"

Miao Youde seemed very hesitant, but at this moment, Li Jingan snorted coldly: "If you want me to help you find your daughter, you'd better explain the matter truthfully, otherwise, no one will be able to find your daughter back."

This sentence was more or less threatening, so after Li Jingan finished speaking, Miao Youde quickly knelt down and said, "My lord... Actually, the thing is like this, the little girl fell in love with a poor scholar before, but the scholar's family really It is too poor, and the scholar has not obtained any honors. Cao Min was worried that his daughter would suffer hardship after marrying the scholar, so he never agreed with the two of them. Cao Min thought... Could it be because of this that my daughter disappeared? "

"Since you know the reason for your daughter's disappearance, why don't you go to the scholar's house to look for it?"

"Responding to my lord's words, Caomin went to look for him, but the scholar has disappeared."

Hearing this, Li Jingan suddenly kept silent. The men and women eloped. This matter is not big or small. If it is spread, it may have a great impact on Miao Youde, but this Miao Youde actually came to report the case. I was really anxious.

After thinking for a while, Li Jingan asked, "What's the name of the scholar?"

"Returning to my lord, the scholar's surname is Dong Mingyun, and his family lives on Mingli Street in the west of the city."

Although Mingli Street is called Mingli Street, it is neither prosperous nor rich. It can be said that it is a rare street in Chang'an City that is cold for a few days. Most of the people who live there are very poor people who want to save face.

Since Dong Yun is a scholar, he must be somewhat arrogant, and it is reasonable to live in that kind of place.

After listening to Miao Youde's words, Li Jingan nodded slightly, and then ordered someone to go to Mingli Street to see where that Dong Yun had gone. Said: "Hua Gongzi, should we go to Miao Mansion to have a look?"

The elopement case is a very clear case, and it is actually nothing to see for Su Wuming, but now that Dong Yun and Miao Fang are both missing, Hua Lang thinks it is appropriate to go to Miao's mansion to take a look.

A group of people walked through the bustling streets on such a night and arrived at Miao Youde's home. This Miao Youde seemed to be very rich, the mansion was very large, and there were many servants. After they entered the Miao Mansion, Miao Youde directly He led them to Miao Fang's room.

Miao Fang's room has a faint fragrance, and the room is a little messy, indicating that Miao Fang was in a hurry when she left. In addition, there are a lot of valuable things in the room, which may be the only clues found from the room. , and such clues just show that Miao Fang is likely to elope.

After it was confirmed that they had eloped, Li Jingan immediately ordered that Miao Fang and Dong Yun be searched in the whole city. The city gate was closed when it was dark, and the two of them must still be in Chang'an City. It is not difficult to find them.

After Li Jingan gave the order to find someone, Miao Youde was a little relieved, but the next day, the servants searched the entire Chang'an city, but they couldn't find Miao Fang, which made Li Jingan suspicious. Are they out of town already?

But the gates of the city were kept closed, and after dawn they went through strict investigations. How did they get out of the city?

The matter was very strange. Although Li Jingan didn't quite believe that Miao Fang and Dong Yun had left the city, he still sent a lot of yamen servants to look for them outside the city. At this time, Miao Youde was too impatient.

Miao Youde came to the government office to ask questions from time to time, but for a few days, there was no news at all. When Miao Youde kept asking questions, a yamen servant found out that the reason why Miao Youde was in such a hurry was because Ma Fucai's family in Chang'an City interrogated him.

Ma Fucai is a well-known son in Chang'an City, with a huge family business, and the reason why Ma Fucai interrogates Miao You is because before Miao Fang disappeared, Miao Youde had betrothed Miao Fang to Ma Fucai.

Of course, one can understand without thinking carefully that Miao Fang married Ma Fucai only because Miao Youde took a fancy to Ma Fucai's family business. In other words, Miao Fang became a victim of her father's greed.
