Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter (1) A blackmail letter.

As the night deepened, the bustling city of Yangzhou also fell into silence. One or two drunken men could be faintly seen on the street, as well as a fast-running black cat.

The weather became scorching hot, Hwarang and others lived in the post house, lying on the bed for a long time before falling asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the servants sent by Mr. Luo Qingluo came. They were all the elites in the government office. They were assigned to Bao Zheng because they didn't want Bao Zheng and the others to gossip. Besides, this was Fang Bingtong's request, and the reason was very simple. Simple, he doesn't want to take advantage of Hwarang, Hwarang and others are not familiar with Yangzhou, if he bullies them in this aspect, it will be disgraceful to win.

Regarding this point, Hwarang feels that Fang Bingtong, like his elder brother Fang Baiyu, is a man of temperament.

Now that they have people, all they have to do is investigate.

Bao Zheng advocated finding Lingling first, so they had to go to the child's family first.

Tong's Mansion is considered a big family in Yangzhou, and Hua Lang and the others could feel it when they entered Tong's Mansion. The waterside gardens in the mansion and the large area of ​​the mansion are proof.

Tong Yuanwai and Mrs. Tong's eyes were red. They thought that their daughter had been missing for the past few days. They cried a lot. Now that Bao Zheng came, it was as if they saw hope. They rushed forward and asked: " Can we find our daughter!"

Bao Zheng was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, Hwarang stood up and said, "Please rest assured, we will definitely be able to find your daughter, but when we are investigating, there are some things that require the cooperation of the two of you!"

The child member nodded: "You can tell us what you need us to do, as long as our daughter can come back safely!"

Hwarang was very satisfied with this, so he asked: "Miss Tong's maid, Lingling, has there been no news?"

Regarding this question, Tong Yuanwai was a little surprised and puzzled, because now they only care about their own daughter, they have considered the news of a maid, but now that Hwarang asks, he has to think carefully.

After thinking about it, Tong Yuanwai nodded: "There has been no news about Lingling. She was also kidnapped, so what should I do? If she was really kidnapped, why didn't she send us a letter!"

Hwarang pondered for a long time, and said, "Please tell us about Lingling, the boy member!"

The child member nodded, and said in a sad and compulsive tone: "Lingling is a servant we recruited from the countryside. Because she is hardworking and looks pretty good, we let her take care of our daughter. She is here We have been in the house for more than a year, and we have always been very responsible, but every one or two months, she will go home to visit her mother, and she will go there for five or six days, which makes us a little bit disliked!"

Hwarang disagrees with what Tong Yuanwai said, Lingling went to visit her mother, what's wrong, the people in Tongfu want to control her all the time, this is hard for people to accept.

But because this matter has nothing to do with the case, Hwarang didn't say much, and after inquiring about Lingling's hometown from Tong Yuanwai, they left.

Lingling's hometown is in a small village outside Yangzhou City, and Hwarang decides to pay a visit.

There is a lot of shade outside Yangzhou City, so it is much cooler than in the city, and there are more small bridges and flowing water in the suburbs, which vividly interpret the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

After walking through rice fields and small bridges and streams, they finally arrived at Lingling's house.

It was a very small village with only a dozen or so families in it. After some inquiries, they came to a place with a fenced yard.

Inside, an old woman was dealing with the weeds in the vegetable garden. Her face was serene, as if she didn't know that her daughter had disappeared.

After seeing this situation, Hwarang and Wen Meng felt that the matter was a little difficult. Wouldn't it be too irritating to the old lady if they asked directly.

After some deliberation, they decided to conduct a roundabout investigation.

Hwarang knocked on the fake door a few times, and then called out, "Is anyone there?"

The old woman looked up and saw so many people, she was a little nervous, but she still smiled and asked, "Who are these people!"

Hualang smiled lightly, and said, "We are from Yangzhou City, passing through here, we drink water as an excuse!"

When she heard that she was thirsty, the old woman relaxed and quickly invited them in.

After sitting down in the small courtyard, Hwarang asked the old woman, "The old man lives here alone!"

The woman nodded: "Yes, I live alone, but I also have a daughter who works in a big family's house, and will come back to see me for two days every month or two!"

When the woman said this, she had a proud face, which reminded Hwarang that in the 21st century, some neighbors in his hometown always liked to boast about their sons and daughters, saying where their sons and daughters worked. How much money they earn every month, although it is a bit of a show off, it is the best display of their happiness.

Just after hearing what the old woman said, Hwarang realized that something was wrong. The boy member said that Lingling would go home for six or seven days, but why did the old woman only say it was two days? Hwarang believed that neither of these two people could have made a mistake, so there must be an explanation for this.

Putting this question aside for now, Hwarang continued: "Then has your daughter been home these few days?"

The old woman shook her head: "Not really, but it's coming soon. It's been more than half a month since she went home last time!"

After listening, Hwarang said with some regret: "Our master is looking for a maid, and he is willing to pay a high salary. Unfortunately, the old man's daughter already has a master!"

The woman didn't respond to Hwarang's words. Anyway, her daughter had a job to do, so she didn't think about other things.

After drinking tea, Hwarang and others left Lingling's house. After leaving, Hwarang said quickly: "I used the high salary as a temptation, but the old lady was not moved at all. It seems that Lingling really never came back." !"

Everyone nodded, but although Lingling hadn't come back, the number of days that Tong Yuanwai and the old woman said was wrong, so where did Lingling go and who did she meet in the remaining few days? .

Without finding the bell, there's no way they'd know about the problem.

So they had to go back to Yangzhou City first.

But when they returned to Yangzhou City, they received news from the Yangzhou government office that the thieves had finally sent a blackmail letter to Tong Yuanwai.

Hearing this news, Hwarang and the others were excited, but they were also disappointed, because if there was a blackmail letter, it would indirectly prove that Fang Bronze was correct. He Hwarang lost,
