The original birthday banquet turned into a funeral banquet, and General Wu was a well-known figure in Hangzhou. Naturally, the government was alerted at this time. However, no evidence was left at the scene, and the room was surrounded by guards at the time. The murderer

How to sneak in? It is obviously unreliable to deduce the murderer based on just a palm print, so in the end we have to adopt a stupid method, which is to interrogate everyone present at the time. The stupid method is reliable, but it may not work, and in the end it doesn't matter.

As a result, Qu Heng could not leave Wu Mansion until the third watch.

The little food we had in the afternoon had long been consumed, and was replaced by the growling sound of our stomachs. Fortunately, in a city like Hangzhou, there was no shortage of roadside stalls that were still open in the middle of the night. The taste was average, but for those who were hungry in the middle of the night.

For people in Lulu, how many of them still care about whether it tastes good or not? The most important thing is to be able to fill your stomach.

There was such a shop on the way back. A few small tables and benches formed a simple shop. The fire was burning brightly at the moment, and the pot was boiling happily, steaming out.

It's just that it's already late at night, and no one else is visiting, so it seems a bit deserted.

To the hungry Qu Heng, this small noodle stall was like a thirsty traveler seeing an oasis in the desert. He sat down on the bench and shouted loudly: "Boss, have a bowl of noodles."

Although I really wanted to drink, I was short of money, so I had to endure it.

As soon as the boss saw the guest coming, he suddenly cheered up and said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll be here soon!"

For a hungry person, the wait is undoubtedly a long time, but it didn't take long. There was a bang, and a small jar of wine was placed in front of him.

What followed was a faint scent, like jasmine.

Qu Heng raised his eyes and saw that it was the woman from the afternoon.

The woman sat down casually facing the opposite side and asked cautiously: "You won't catch me, will you?"

Qu Heng smiled and said: "Why should I arrest you?"

The woman said: "I said during the day that I was going to kill General Wu, but he was really dead. You are the police officer. Am I not the biggest suspect?"

Qu Heng shook his head and said: "If it was really you who killed me, I wouldn't be able to capture you with your skills. If you weren't the one who killed me, why would I capture you?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I didn't expect you to be quite reasonable. I really found the right person to come to you for a drink tonight. Boss, please give me two bowls."

The boss brought two bowls very neatly. The woman opened the wine jar, filled the two bowls, and said, "Aren't you afraid that this wine is poisonous?"

Qu Heng picked up the bowl, shook it slightly, and said: "This wine is a twenty-year-old flower carving. I think it is a waste to add poison to this wine."

The woman was surprised: "You actually know that this wine is twenty years old?"

Qu Heng said: "This is not a difficult thing."

The woman said: "It seems that I really found someone tonight. They say that the person who drinks wine must understand wine, otherwise it will be very boring, but I am still a little strange, why don't you ask me why I want to kill General Wu?"

"

Qu Heng asked back: "I asked you if you can tell?"

The woman said: "I can't tell."

Qu Heng sighed: "Then why should I ask?"

The woman was stunned for a moment and then said: "What if I say it?"

Qu Heng said: "Then why should I ask?"

The woman said helplessly: "I really shouldn't have brought up this topic."

Qu Heng said: "So it's better to drink quietly. As for General Wu's death, find it out if you can. If you can't find out, that's fine. Anyway, even if you know who killed him, the skills of these people in the yamen can't do anything to others.

Why seek death yourself?"

While talking, the shop owner had already placed the noodles on the table and said politely: "Objectively, your noodles are ready."

Qu Heng nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and was about to stretch them out, but stopped, turned to the shop owner who had already walked to the stove and asked: "Boss, did you put too much salt in this? Why don't you come first?"

Taste it, I think it's a bit salty."

The shop owner smiled and said: "Sir, you are joking. How could there be too much salt in this small noodle?"

While he was talking, he kicked his foot and a stool next to him was kicked away and rushed straight towards the two of them. The next moment, the shop owner had already dodged and fled into the alley next to him. Then, at what time Hanxing came from the alley.

Coming straight from inside.

The stool in Qu Heng's hand spun like a windmill, and there were only a few clear sounds, and all the cold stars hit the stool without pulling.

The shop owner just now disappeared into the dark alley long ago, without a trace.

The woman's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw Qu Heng.

Qu Heng put the stool on the ground nonchalantly, looked at the blue poisonous needles nailed on the stool, and sighed: "I didn't offend anyone tonight, so I won't let this noodle taste good."

The woman smiled softly and said, "I'm very curious as to why you, a small policeman from the yamen, can have such skills? You look pretty good."

The woman's appearance was already beautiful, with a trace of Jiangnan girl's elegance all over her body. At this moment, she smiled so sweetly that it seemed to compare with the moon in the sky.

Qu Heng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately looked away slightly and said, "You don't even want to ask why someone came back to assassinate me?"

The woman smiled and said, "I asked you, do you know?"

Qu Heng shook his head and said: "This is indeed my sorrow. I really don't know that I am just a small policeman in the yamen, and someone actually comes to assassinate me?"

In his mind, Qu Heng was also thinking about this problem. He had only been down the mountain for two months. He only patrolled the yamen and handled some chores on weekdays. The past two months had been peaceful. Nothing major had happened in Tianjin City, so naturally he didn't.

What kind of trouble would he cause? Now someone actually came to assassinate him, which is completely confusing.

The woman said: "You don't know it yourself, so what's the point of asking? But I'm still curious, how do you know there's something wrong here?"

As she spoke, she used her chopsticks to gently fiddle with the bowl of noodles in front of her. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing strange about it.

Qu Heng sighed and said: "For someone who makes a living by setting up a street stall and buying noodles, his hands are a bit too fair. I just had some doubts in my heart, so I asked, but I know he really can't stand it.

Test."

The woman smiled and said, "What would you say if he said he wasn't salty?"

Qu Heng said: "If he really said that, I would definitely say: If you don't believe it, try it yourself."

The woman said quietly: "I am very curious about something right now. You are just a little detective. Why would someone want to kill you? Did you do something?"

Qu Heng said: "I just learned that someone wanted to kill me today. As for why they killed me, if you ask me, I don't know who to ask. Maybe next time I should find a way to catch the person who wants to kill me. Maybe I can ask

If you come up with something, at least I won't be a fool until I die. Okay, thank you for the wine, and I'll take my leave first."

When the woman asked this question, Qu Heng began to think about this problem in his heart. The place where he originally lived was very remote. The old man was crazy all day long and had not walked around in the world for a long time. Even though he might have been famous at the beginning, he would have been forgotten by now.

Forget that during the time when I was a policeman, I never showed off my skills. In the eyes of others, I was just an ordinary little policeman.

Now that someone is actually trying to kill me, a little detective like me, then there must be at least a reason, right?

But I don’t even know what the reason is.

Qu Heng couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart. If he really died just now, he really didn't know how he died.

There are many rich people living in Tianjin City, and the people in Hangzhou City are also quite wealthy, but Qu Heng is an exception. With his current salary, he has to live

To live on my own, I had to sacrifice the comfort of accommodation, so I only rented a single room in a large courtyard. The furniture in the room was just a bed, a table and a chair, which can be described as shabby.

At this moment, there was a bright red flower placed on the originally lonely table. The moonlight filtered in through the window and shone on the flower. The flower was as red as blood and was extremely charming.

The name of the flower in Buddhist language is: Manzhu Shahua.

"Lotus Sutra Volume 1": "At that time, the World Honored One, surrounded by four people, made offerings, respected and praised the Bodhisattvas; he spoke to the Bodhisattvas the Mahayana Sutra, named Infinite Meanings, and was protected by the Bodhisattva Dharma Buddha. The Buddha finished speaking this sutra and sat in lotus position.

, enter the samadhi of immeasurable meaning, and the body and mind will not move. At this time, the "Buddhist Sutra" falls into the sky, and there are four flowers, namely: Sky Rain Mandala Flower, Maha Mandala Flower, Manzhu Shahua, and Maha Manzhu Sha.

The flowers spread over the Buddha and all the people."

"Buddhist Sutra". "The flower on the other shore blooms for a thousand years and falls for a thousand years. The flowers and leaves will never see each other. Love is not cause and effect, fate is destined to life and death."

Manzhu Shahua, also known as the flower of the other shore, is also known as the flower of the underworld.

Qu Heng didn't know Bianhua. When he thought it was beautiful, he suddenly noticed something familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that there was such a pot of flowers in the room where Boss Wu died.

"The flowers bloom on the other side, and the soul falls into the underworld!"

Someone suddenly spoke outside the house. The voice was very soft, like a mosquito whisper, but it was heard very clearly in the ears.

As soon as Qu Heng's body moved, he was like a lone line of smoke, and he had already flashed out of the door. In the courtyard, a man stood there quietly. He was wearing gray clothes, holding a sword in his arms, and his pale face showed no expression at all.

It looks like a stone statue.

Qu Heng's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Brother, are you talking to me?"

The man said: "It seems that there is no one else here except you."

His words were just like others, cold and emotionless, as if they came from under the Netherworld, making people a little creepy.

Qu Heng said: "There are people in other rooms."

The man said: "He can't hear now."

Qu Heng's heart tightened and he immediately asked: "Did you kill them?"

The man said: "The price of my killer is very high. The only money they give me is to kill you."

Qu Heng suddenly felt relieved and asked again: "Just now you said that the flowers bloom on the other side and the soul falls into the underworld. What do you mean?"

The man couldn't help but frown and said, "You have a lot of questions."

Qu Heng said with a smile: "I'm going to die anyway, at least if you want me to die I'll understand and won't turn into a fool."

The man was silent for a moment and said: "If you don't die, you may still be worth more if you ask. If you die, I don't want to waste my words. Be careful, I'm about to take action."
