Chapter 369 [Detective] (Part 2)
Luo Lie was sure that he had heard it correctly. Three Character Classic? He had known the blind man for so many years, but he had never heard the blind man say anything about the Dongshan Sutra. It is logical that the blind man talks to him and should not hide it from him.
Luo Lie whispered: "Blind, I am Luo Lie, I am Luo Lie!"
The blind man was not conscious and his throat was vague and said, "Xiaodie...Xiaodie..."
In the evening, Ye Qinghong came to deliver the meal. What surprised Luo Lie was that Zhang Changgong and Tiewa also came from Manchuria. In fact, they had already agreed to come. Because there were still some things to deal with in Fengtian, they delayed for a while. When they heard Ye Qinghong say something happened to the blind man, they immediately came to the hospital.
Seeing that the blind man was so seriously injured, Zhang Changgong was also full of righteous indignation. The two of them decided to stay in the hospital to take care of the blind man's safety and let Luo Lie go back and rest first.
Luo Lie didn't want to rest, but what he learned today was a bit strange. He wanted to go to the fire scene to see it.
Ye Qinghong drove Luo Lie to the location of the fire. When Luo Lie talked about what he saw today, Ye Qinghong said, "Did the blind man go back to get the money?" With Ye Qinghong's understanding of the blind man, he was an absolute fortune-teller.
Luo Lie said: "Although the blind man is greedy for money, he is not confused about major issues. Is money or life important? What about Zhou Xiaodie?"
Ye Qinghong said: "When it comes to Zhou Xiaodie, I have something I want to say."
Luo Lie nodded.
Ye Qinghong said: "You should know about me and her."
Of course Luo Lie knew that Zhou Xiaodie's father Xiao Tianxing was also one of the murderers who killed Ye Qinghong's father, Prince Rui Yixun. Ye Qinghong later avenged his father and hired himself to go to Lingtian Castle. In fact, he used himself to attract Lingtian Castle's attention and staged a good show of mantis stalking the cicada oriole behind. Luo Lie patted her hands and said, "It's all in the past."
Ye Qinghong said: "Although it's all the things in the past, I can't forget them after all. Otherwise, we wouldn't have avoided them even if we were here in Huangpu for so long."
Luo Lie said: "I believe that Zhou Xiaodie's feelings for the blind man, she cannot harm the blind man."
Ye Qinghong said: "I believe that I don't doubt her, but Zhou Xiaodie's background. Don't forget that Xiao Tianxing was so powerful that he was. People like him could not leave some way out for themselves. What if Zhou Xiaodie knew some secrets?"
Luo Lie said: "Do you suspect that the blind man was implicated by her this time?"
Ye Qinghong said: "It's just suspicious. There's no evidence, but after hearing what you said just now, I went to understand their injuries again. It seems that Zhou Xiaodie is not serious. Since she knows that the blind man is going back, why don't she stop him?"
Luo Lie actually considered this level, but he did not believe that Zhou Xiaodie would harm the blind man. When he went to the silk shop, he secretly observed the couple. The happiness between them was by no means a disguise.
Ye Qinghong stopped the car and said, "It's there."
Luo Lie said: "You go back first, I will go back by myself later."
Ye Qinghong said: "Okay, by the way, I'll leave the car for you and I'll take the rickshaw back."
Luo Lie waved his hand and said, "No, don't let Xiao Caihong wait in a hurry, she can't live without you."
Ye Qinghong smiled: "You will come back early tonight. Brother Zhang and the others are here, so you don't have to stay in the hospital."
Luo Lie said: "I will not go back tonight."
Ye Qinghong said: "Okay, then I'll ask the driver to take a car to the hospital, it's convenient for you to use it."
Luo Lie was about to get off the car, but Ye Qinghong grabbed his arm again. Luo Lie saw Ye Qinghong's reluctance to leave, smiled, leaned over and kissed her pretty face. Only then did Ye Qinghong let him go with satisfaction: "Be careful!"
Luo Lie came to the silk shop. After experiencing this fire, the silk shop had been burned to pieces of rubble. Not only the silk shop, but also the five families around him suffered from seedlings. Fortunately, the unfortunate situation was that no casualties were caused. Luo Lie had already contacted these neighbors through Bai Yunfei, and he was responsible for all the losses.
The police have investigated the scene. Although several ropes were symbolically pulled at the fire scene, they did not play a real role in blocking them. Many locals have been looking for available items in the ruins.
While Luo Lie was standing outside the rope circle to observe, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him and said, "Mr. Luo is also interested in investigation?"
Luo Lie knew it was Cheng Yufei, so he turned around and looked at Cheng Yufei, and then said, "I don't understand the criminal investigation matters, but I also want to see the damage at the scene. The surrounding neighbors have also suffered a lot of losses due to the fire. As An Zhai's friend, I need to help him deal with these things."
Cheng Yufei said: "Mr. An is great to have friends like you."
Luo Lie said: "If I had trouble, he would come to help me at any cost."
Cheng Yufei said: "This scene is worthless. I have investigated it, but I have found a few points." She said to Luo Lie: "If Mr. Luo is interested, we might as well go to the noodle shop in front to sit down and talk."
Luo Lie then remembered that it was already time to eat. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll treat you!"
Cheng Yufei ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles, Luo Lie ordered a portion of smoked fish noodles. There are many noodle shops like Huangpu. Most of the people who visit this noodle shop are the people who live there. The most talked about was the fire that happened last night. Luo Lie and Cheng Yufei sat face to face. Cheng Yufei called him, but did not speak actively, and most of the time they spent listening to the discussions of people around them.
Luo Lie guessed that one of the reasons why Cheng Yufei came here to eat noodles was to listen to these guests' chats.
Luo Lie listened for a while but found nothing special, so he focused on eating noodles.
Cheng Yufei said: "An Zhai was knocked unconscious. I found an iron rod at the fire scene with his blood on it. I specifically asked the doctor that the injury An Zhai suffered in the head was not large, and it should not be caused by the falling beam. And if it was hit by the beam, he might have died."
Luo Lie said: "As you said, someone sneaked into the silk shop before the fire last night?"
Cheng Yufei said: "It can almost be concluded that according to my understanding, there were only two people in the silk shop that night. If no third person sneaked in, then the only person who knocked An Zhai out could be Zhou Xiaodie."
Luo Lie said: "They are husband and wife."
Cheng Yufei said: "Honey and wife are birds in the same forest, but they fly away from each other when the disaster strikes. It is very common for husband and wife to rebel against each other."
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "The couple has always had a good relationship. I know Zhou Xiaodie well. She can't harm her husband."
Cheng Yufei asked back, "Do you really know her?" She put the chopsticks on the bowl: "Zhou Xiaodie's father is Xiao Tianxing. You should have heard of Xiao Tianxing. The leader of the Langya Village in Pale Mountain, the largest bandit in Manchuria. Later, he died of assassination from his enemies. Zhou Xiaodie is the daughter of the bandit leader."
Luo Lie felt admiring for Cheng Yufei. The title of the No. 1 Detective in Huangpu was definitely not a false reputation. She had indeed put in some effort in the investigation and actually checked Zhou Xiaodie's bottom in such a short time.
Luo Lie said: "I haven't heard of this."
Cheng Yufei said: "You haven't heard of it?"
Luo Lie's expression was Gu Jing Bubo, and Cheng Yufei wanted to see the flaws in his face. Soon she realized that her efforts were futile. She nodded and said, "It's not surprising that you don't understand Zhou Xiaodie, but An Zhai, you should understand."
Luo Lie said: "Ms. Cheng just say anything."
Cheng Yufei said: "An Zhai used to rely on his grandmother for life, and the old lady's surname was Chen."
Luo Lie said: "Grandma Chen passed away three years ago."
Cheng Yufei said: "The Grandma Chen mentioned by Mr. Luo is named Chen Jiumei, and is known as Thousand-Handed Guanyin in the martial arts world. She was once the number one master of the thief thirty years ago."
Although Luo Lie is so close to the blind man, he has never heard him talk about this. Cheng Yufei is so sure that it should not be a lie, and she has no need to lie. Luo Lie said: "What does this matter have to do with yesterday's arson case?"
Cheng Yufei said: "The reason why Chen Jiumei is respected as the number one master of the thief is because she once sneaked into the Qing Palace and stole two treasures. One is the Jade Nine Dragon Cup that Emperor Qianlong loved most during his lifetime, and the other is the Dongshan Sutra secretly hidden by the royal family for generations."
Luo Lie was shocked when he heard the three words Dongshan Sutra. Today, he heard the blind man say the three words Dongshan Sutra many times when he was in a daze. It seems that what Cheng Yufei said is not bad.
Luo Liedao: "I have heard of the Emerald Nine Dragon Cup, what is this Dongshan Sutra?"
Cheng Yufei said: "The Dongshan Sutra is a royal secret book. According to legend, it has been passed down from ancient times to the present. The contents of it are related to the fortune of the dragon veins. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, it is said that it was divided into two in the hands of Emperor Kangxi, and divided them into two volumes. The first volume is geography and the second volume is celestial phenomena. Chen Jiumei stole it in the second volume. There is a saying that the reason why the Qing Dynasty was destroyed was related to the loss of the Dongshan Sutra."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I'm afraid this kind of thing is spread by rumors, and there is nothing to be credible."
Cheng Yufei said: "After Chen Jiumei steals these two things, it evaporated from the world. At that time, the Qing Dynasty used almost all the masters of the inner circle to hunt down Chen Jiumei. The black and white channels in the world also hunted Chen Jiumei, but Chen Jiumei is also very capable and disappeared. In the past thirty years, no news has been heard."
Luo Lie said: "How do you prove that Grandma Chen is Chen Jiumei?"
Cheng Yufei said: "Because I found something."
Luo Lie looked at Cheng Yufei, wondering what she had found.
Cheng Yufei took out a cloth bag from her pocket and spread it out carefully. There was a piece of jade fragment inside the cloth bag. Although it was only part of it, it could be seen that the jade was full of water and was a rare treasure. If this thing had not been damaged, its value would be even more incalculable.
