The Memorabilia of the Detective Case of the Female Doctor Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 17

On the surface, this "Biography of the Immortals" is not tricky, but when you really open it, you find that there is something hidden in it-the immortals are fiction, and the interlayer is reality. What is hidden in it is clearly the account book!
Du Youning took those few sheets of paper and looked at them, then handed them to Xiao Chengfeng, and said: "The accounts are correct, but they are not complete. The rest should be in the study." There are [-] bookcases in total. According to Bao Ruo's deduction, the three of them found eight copies one after another, and put them together to form a complete account.

"I think that I, Cao Kun, have been clean and honest all my life. I volunteered to serve the people and serve the imperial court. I thought I could devote myself to this life, but I didn't want to accidentally discover such a shocking secret, which would make my family feel uneasy and I couldn't help it. Today, I am no longer afraid of death. I just wish I couldn’t punish the traitors! I knew that I couldn’t escape death anyway, so I had to draw up the accounts and scatter them in the books. Cao firmly believed that the legal system would not be missed, and that one day there would be a wise man who would kill the traitor..."

Du Youning opened the account book, his face became more and more serious, and when he saw some names, he directly clenched the account book in his hand, and his veins bulged: "Okay, very good..."

Seeing his displeasure, Xiao Chengfeng couldn't help worrying: "Cousin, what's the big thing on it?"

"It's so daring, you can't see the law!" Du Youning closed the ledger and put it in his arms, looked at Xiao Chengfeng and said, "This matter involves a lot, I will talk to you in detail in the future. Someone will definitely come to find this ledger tonight , you arrange the yamen servants to ambush in private, and we will come to him to catch the turtle."

The blood in Xiao Chengfeng's body was hot, and he rolled up his sleeves eager to try: "Damn it, if they dare to come, they dare to beat me up. They really treat me as a county magistrate!"

"Chengfeng can't be reckless," Du Youning shook his head in disapproval, and said, "I have fought against them before, these people have weird martial arts, and you must not take it lightly if they do not use correct moves."

Xiao Chengfeng blinked in surprise, and rolled up his sleeves with a dry smile: "When did my cousin fight with them, why didn't I know?"

Thinking of the two night encounters with Du Youning, Gu Ruo subconsciously looked at him, thinking that he was also looking at her, and said with gentle eyes: "The first night I came, I happened to meet the murderer outside the yamen when I came back from looking for an old friend, but He had died at that time, thinking that the murderer might be nearby, I held back, to see who he was going to send the message to; the next day he sneaked into the yamen, and I fought him, he was inferior to me in terms of martial arts, but He didn't know what kind of tricks he used to hide his eyes. He disappeared for a while, and I was stabbed by him accidentally. Although I pierced his left shoulder, he used illusion to escape. This person is elusive, this is me worries."

"Disappear? Could it be that he won't be able to escape?" Xiao Chengfeng held his chin in his hands, thinking carefully, and said uncertainly, "I once heard that Dongpu has a technique called "hiding". It is said that it can be invisible, which is very mysterious."

Du Youning sneered, her phoenix eyes flashed with determination, and said: "No matter what method he used, I will not let him off lightly."

Xiao Chengfeng nodded immediately. He knew about his cousin, but just as he was going to look for the yamen servant, he suddenly thought of a question: "This man is elusive, how can we find his trace? Also, in case he makes a mistake in his judgment, he doesn't know the account book. What if I touch my room in your hands?"

Du Youning stood with his hands tied, Zhilan Yushu was very eye-catching, with a warm smile on his face, a sly flash of slyness in his eyes: "We'll just let him into your room."

Xiao Chengfeng opened his mouth wide: "Huh?"

That afternoon, everyone in the yamen knew that the lord almost had a fight with the general because the young master found a mysterious ledger in the study and wanted to report it to the court.The general said he would take it for safekeeping, but his lord was eager to make contributions, so he would not respond, so the two had a big fight, and finally broke up unhappy.

The night is cold and cool, the courtyard is quiet and desolate, the branches are swaying and swaying with the wind.At this moment, there was a soft sound from the courtyard, the sound was very soft, as if someone walked in, but there was no one.The door of the master bedroom opened a small crack suddenly, but the person on the bed didn't notice it at all, lying motionless on the bed.

The moonlight poured into the room through the window, and I saw a masked man in black standing in the room for some reason.He quickly moved to the bed, raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed there, stabbing several times, his men were full of killing intent.After striking, he was stunned, the touch of his hands was soft and soft, not like piercing flesh and blood at all.He quickly lifted the quilt, and a puff of white smoke covered the face. The goal was two pillows, and there was no sign of anyone there.The man in black thought something was wrong, just as he was about to escape, a torch was lit outside the house, and a person pushed the door in, looking at him coldly, whoever it is if it's not Du Youning!The man in black hadn't moved yet, but his feet were vain, and his head was a little dizzy, presumably it was the problem of the white smoke just now.

Du Youning raised the corners of his lips and smiled at the man in black: "Your Excellency can't run away today."

The man in black raised his dagger and scratched his arm, trying to use the pain to keep himself awake.He observed the surroundings calmly, knowing that he was definitely not Du Youning's opponent, nor did he love to fight, so he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Du Youning just sneered, waved the sword casually, and stabbed into the man's thigh.

"Hiss..." The man in black covered his injured leg with one hand, held a dagger in front of him in the other hand, and looked at Du Youning resentfully: "How did you see my trace?" Du Youning glanced at the ground, motioning for him look down.A layer of white ash was sprinkled on the ground without knowing when, and the man's footprints were clearly printed on it.

"You..." The man in black's eyes widened, but he didn't continue, because Du Youning didn't give him a chance to speak, so he quickly attacked, and with just two moves, he easily subdued the man in black with his arms removed.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Chengfeng clapped his hands, walked forward with a smile, stretched out his hand and took off his mask, poked his left shoulder and said, "It's so easy to get caught, you're nothing more than that! Say, what do you want to do tonight?"

The man in black has delicate features, not like a killer, but more like a white-faced scholar.Looking at him, Gu Ruo felt a little weird for some reason: "That..."

"Don't talk, right? I have plenty of ways to get you to talk." Xiao Chengfeng raised his hand to beckon the yamen servant to come up and take him away, and looked at Gu Ruo with a smile, "What does Ah Ruo want to say..."

Before the words fell, the yamen servant opened his mouth in a panic: "My lord, no, it's not good, the assassin is poisoned!"

Du Youning stepped forward to touch his carotid artery, the assassin's head slumped to one side, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, how could he still be angry?
Xiao Chengfeng laughed dryly without words, opened his mouth and said: "How can you say that you're dead, you don't even say hello, it's really..." He didn't say what it was, he just asked people to take the body down, and then he said to Gu Ruo, "Ah Ruo, what did you want to say just now?"

"I want to ask if we should remove his jaw to see if there is any poison sac in his teeth." This kind of heart is cruel, and Gu Ruo is afraid that he will commit suicide by taking poison, but now, Gu Ruo shook his head and shrugged, "It seems that there is no inspection now. It is necessary."

Xiao Chengfeng: ...
