Meeting such a patient with a unique personality is really... so annoying, but I still have to keep smiling.

Lu Zheng stuffed the red porcelain bottle back in a mess, and then began to apply medicine on him. Normally, this kind of injury must be sutured, but Lu Zheng is not a professional, so he could only pour the medicine on, and then tore off a clean shirt of his own to use as a bandage to wrap the patient around. I don't know if it was the effect of the medicine or Jian Yu's health, but after the bandage was applied, the bleeding actually stopped.

Lu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, touched Jian Yu's forehead, and found that he didn't have a fever. He went to look for his clothes. Fortunately, Ji Xiang was thoughtful. He took out a middle-aged shirt and a cotton robe, walked over and said, "You can't wear your clothes. Wear mine for now... What's wrong with you?" He looked at Jian Yu strangely. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he was staring at the front in a trance.

Jian Yu came back to his senses, but as if nothing had happened, he glanced at the clothes in his hand and said, "I can't wear your clothes."

"We are all men, what do you have to dislike?" Lu Zheng had an expression on his face that said "you don't know how to be kind", but when the clothes were put on Jian Yu, he was immediately embarrassed. He forgot that his body was only that of a 15-year-old boy, and Jian Yu, although thin, was already the body of an adult man.

"Ahem, well, it's better to be smaller than to wear those dirty clothes."

Jian Yu looked at Lu Zheng, who refused to admit his mistake, with a half-smile, and let him put on his clothes. The things in the Duke of Ying's Mansion were of course not bad, especially those prepared for the Third Young Master Lu. The sky-blue brocade clothes were finely embroidered with the four friends of the gentleman, and a circle of mink fur was sewn on the cuffs and hem. If the young master of the Lu family wore it, he would definitely be handsome and elegant, but now the clothes were tightly wrapped around Jian Yu, and the elegance and handsomeness were completely gone, leaving only indescribable laughter.

Lu Zheng originally wanted to ask Jian Yu something, but he was so amused by his appearance that he couldn't stand up for a long time.

Jian Yu still had no expression on his face, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes. Seeing that Lu Zheng was about to fall under the table with laughter, he reached out and pulled him back: "Have you laughed enough? You weren't this happy when you hugged the girl before."

Lu Zheng's body froze.

Jian Yu propped his chin with his right hand and said calmly, "When did you welcome her in?"

"You were the one in the woods at first?" Lu Zheng received Jian Yu's ambiguous glance, and for some reason he felt a little guilty. He quickly explained, "It was a misunderstanding. I didn't have any feelings for that girl... Wait, why should I explain this to you? Shouldn't I ask you why you were spying on me in the woods?"

Lu Zheng reacted immediately and glared back at him angrily.

Jian Yu curled his lips and was about to answer, but his face suddenly changed and he rolled back on the spot.

Lu Zheng only saw two shadows flashing before his eyes, and then he saw Jian Yu being subdued by two gray-clothed men who came from nowhere. Then there was a noise outside, and the door of the compartment was suddenly pushed open. Several blue-clothed guards rushed in, drew their knives and put them on Jian Yu's neck.

Lu Zheng was still confused, and saw the two rows of guards at the door separate, and a figure in official uniform walked in from the back.

"Big...Big brother?"

Lu Che heard Lu Zheng's words, but he didn't even turn his head. He just looked at Jian Yu and said, "You were able to escape from the hands of the criminal guards for three days. The skills taught by the Duke of Decheng are quite good."

Lu Zheng then realized that the blue-clothed guards were the criminal guards of the Ministry of Justice. They appeared here to arrest Jian Yu. He looked at Jian Yu worriedly. Jian

Yu was not panicked at all. He glanced at Lu Zheng lightly, and then said to Lu Che coldly, "Lord Lu, I am innocent."

"On the night Jingchen died, someone saw you entering Shuimiao Temple. Jingchen was strangled to death with a rope, and her struggles were very weak, which shows that the criminal was very strong. You had the time and strength to commit the crime. Besides, if not, why did you escape these days?"

Jian Yu raised his head: "Then why did I kill her?"

Lu Che was not moved at all: "You have to ask yourself, but it doesn't matter. When you get to the court of the Ministry of Justice, you will naturally be given a chance to explain. "Take him away."

Two criminal guards took Jian Yu from the gray-clothed man and escorted him out. Jian Yu did not resist at all, but paused for a moment when he passed by Lu Zheng. He was still wearing the clothes of a teenager. When he looked at him, there was warmth in his eyes, and he said softly: "I will come back to find you."

He left such a meaningless sentence and was taken away. Lu Zheng was left to face Lu Che with a sullen face. Lu

Che had to go back to try the case, so he could only glare at him fiercely, and even left in a hurry before arranging for someone to conceal the matter. By the time the Duke of England and his wife got the news, the matter had been suppressed by Lu Che.

Lu Zheng returned to Zhu Tan Ju, still feeling depressed. His contact with Jian Yu convinced him that he was not the murderer. However, after this incident, Lu Che would definitely think that Jian Yu was deliberately trying to exonerate him and would never listen to his explanation. Therefore, the top priority was to find the murderer as soon as possible.

Based on the existing clues, he speculated that the murderer was a male, about 30 to 40 years old, living alone, and his work should require less communication with others. He was taciturn and cautious, and should also be sexually repressed.

Lu Zheng's fingers moved unconsciously on the table. The criminal claimed to be righteous and regarded his methods as punishment for the deceased, which showed that he was very conceited. He did not mind the body being discovered and even placed the body in a kneeling position, which also showed that he subconsciously hoped to gain attention. It was inferred that his social status was relatively low.

In addition, he guessed that the murderer should not be a local, or he had left Yanjing for many years and only returned in recent years, which made him feel very low about belonging to this city.

Lu Zheng was still thinking, but he heard that he had a visitor, and it turned out to be Bao Zheng. The other party brought a box of snacks and a pot of osmanthus wine and waited in the side hall very awkwardly. Lu Zheng has not been popular since he was a child. It has been so rare for him to have a visitor in all these years. Yun was very curious when she heard about it. She even met this little constable for the first time and said a few words to him in a gentle manner.

When Lu Zheng arrived, he saw Bao Zheng wiping the sweat from his forehead. His face was almost stiff with laughter. Seeing him coming was like seeing a savior.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Hey! Brother Bao,

you are a rare guest!" "Don't mock me." Bao Zheng sighed. The relationship between the two has become much closer since the trip to Yizhuang. Otherwise, Bao Zheng would never bring such a shabby gift to the door of the Duke of Ying's Mansion.

Lu Zheng picked up a piece of white sugar cake and put it in his mouth: "It tastes good, it must be a time-honored brand in Yongji!"

Bao Zheng twitched his lips: "I'm so sorry, this is made by my mother."

Lu Zheng failed to show off and was slapped in the face. He coughed and said: "Aunt's cooking is excellent, you are so lucky." He covered up and said, "Let's talk about business first, let's talk about business first."

Bao Zheng took out a list from his arms: "This is the population that moved to Yanjing in recent years. If I didn't have a good relationship with Zheng Shuban, I wouldn't be able to get this list." Seeing that Lu Zheng was looking at it carefully, he couldn't help asking, "Do you suspect it's someone from outside?"

Lu Zheng told Bao Zheng his guess, and Bao Zheng was shocked: "How did you guess it?" He thought for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing you forgot. There is a curfew at night. The patrol camp patrols the city every night. Very few people can go out at night."

Lu Zheng suddenly realized, and the two looked at each other: "Night watchman!"

Indeed, if it was a night watchman, it would be too normal to appear on the street at night, and the work of the night watchman also fits Lu Zheng's profile of the murderer.

Bao Zheng touched his chin and thought: "If it is a night watchman, I recently heard from my brothers that a night watchman in Nancheng has not appeared for several days, that is, after the case of Shui Miao'an came out."

"Nancheng! Isn't Baiquan Mountain outside Nancheng?" Lu Zheng was very excited.

"Let's go and take a look!"

"Uh..."

Bao Zheng glanced at Lu Zheng in confusion.

Lu Zheng scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm still under restraint."

"..."

Finally, under the guidance of the old driver Bao Zheng, Lu Zheng climbed out of the dog hole with difficulty, and the two of them went to the South City with dusty faces.

Yanjing City is divided into the Imperial City, the Inner City and the Outer City. The innermost is the Imperial City, then the Inner City, and the outermost circle is the Outer City. The Outer City is divided into four areas: east, south, west and north, with a total of twelve city gates. Ten miles from Anhua Gate in the South City is Baiquan Mountain. To be honest, Shuimiao Temple is at the junction of South City and West City, and the distance from Anhua Gate is not far.

The two went to the home of the night watchman surnamed Cao. The night watchman lived in Anlefang in the South City, which can be regarded as a slum in the entire Yanjing City. Lu Zheng had not been here for long, but neither he nor the original owner had ever been to such a dirty place. He followed Bao Zheng and stepped carefully over the puddles. The drainage of Yanjing City was good, but it was limited to the inner city.

Bao Zheng looked back at him and said, "It must be difficult to walk here!"

Lu Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

"I lived here when I was a child." Bao Zheng smiled, and while speaking, he deftly stepped over a puddle and stretched out his hand, "Let me give you a hand!"

Lu Zheng was a little surprised: "No way." Bao Zheng didn't look like someone who had climbed up from the bottom, and he could actually read, so people would believe him if he said he came from a poor family.

"I knew you wouldn't believe it." Bao Zheng seemed a little proud. "When I told others, they all thought I was lying. In fact, I really came from here. I lived here until I was ten years old. At that time, this place was not called Anlefang. This alley was called Xinghua Lane because there were two apricot trees planted at the entrance of the alley. We often picked the apricots before they were ripe and put them in our mouths without wiping them. The taste... was really sour."

Bao Zheng fell into memories. He seemed to wrinkle his nose unconsciously when he thought of the sour apricots. Then he smiled embarrassedly: "Excuse me, I asked you to listen to these boring things."

Lu Zheng shook his head: "It's okay, what happened next?"

"Later..." Bao Zheng raised his lips slightly, "When I was ten years old, I met my teacher. He was a very powerful lawyer. Just like you, he could infer the appearance of the criminal based on the case files. Unfortunately, I was too stupid to learn, so I became a constable."

Lu Zheng immediately became interested: "What is your teacher's title? Is he still in Yanjing now?"

Bao Zheng's face was gloomy for a moment: "The teacher has left Yanjing for many years, and now I don't know where he is."

Lu Zheng was a little disappointed.

Bao Zheng led him through an alley and pointed to the dilapidated house at the back and said: "Then Zheng Dahe's home is here."
