Extermination.

Considering that Qiu Xiaogeng is not the biological child of the Qiu couple, to some extent, it can also be regarded as a family extermination case.

In the Siheyuan of the enemy, Xiao Geng pounced beside his mother and cried bitterly. He knew that his mother died on his behalf.

In order to prevent the assassins from coming back, Ye Kenan filled the revolver with bullets and locked the door again. He walked into the study - another scene, Qiu Desheng was dead, and blood from the room attracted several flies to lay eggs.

The deceased fell on the desk, with a piece of letter paper pressing under his head, which was stained with blood.

After quickly browsing the content of the letter, Ye Ke couldn't help but sigh and fold the letter into his arms.

"Old Qiu, go with confidence, I will help you realize your wish!"

Ye Kenan said softly in the ear of the deceased.

When he returned to the yard, he saw Xiao Geng crying and holding a bloody dagger in his hand.

"This is the murder weapon that killed my mom."

Xiao Geng actually pulled out the deadly dagger - blood trough and barbs from his mother's chest, which brought out the flesh and blood of the deceased and part of the heart tissue.

Ye Kenan was surprised by the courage of the nine-year-old boy, and squatted down to observe and said, "The assassin inserted the dagger into the victim's chest and should be pulled out immediately, but he let go and left the weapon - which shows that the assassin was young and lacked experience in killing, so he was so nervous that he forgot the key to the killer."

"Well, the middle-aged assassin scolded him on the spot."

"Did you remember the faces of those two bad guys?"

"I will never forget it until I die."

Qiu Xiaogeng bit his lip and at the same time he used his knee to break the bamboo pole.

"You want revenge?"

"Yes, I will avenge my parents and kill the two assassins in my lifetime."

Ye Kenan looked at the nine-year-old boy's eyebrows and eyes, knowing that it was not a joke. Now he is carrying this deep blood hatred, and I don't know how much storm he will cause when he grows up.

"To be honest, I didn't see their appearance clearly. The light was dim at night. Whether it was shooting or fighting, it was a matter of moment."

"I remember their faces!" Qiu Xiaogeng wiped his tears and snot, frowned his eyebrows, and tried to recall his memories to the death, "The old one who killed my father, the lights on his study were on, just illuminating his face. He was in his forties and had two beards on his lips."

"Where is the young one?"

"I only saw his face through the moonlight. I may not be clear. I am very young anyway - but I stabbed him in the face."

"Where is the wound?"

Xiao Geng drew a few words on his right face, and the wound was one or two inches long, almost extending to his ears.

"The bamboo tip is sharp and it feels like the thorns on my hands are very deep, so it is probably going to be scarred."

"Well, I'm also pricked by your bamboo spike..." Ye Kenan tightened his wound with a bandage, "God bless this arm, don't get rid of it!"

"So, just check all the young people with fresh scars on their faces, and it will be easier to catch them."

"Can you draw the faces of those two people yourself?"

"able."

Qiu Xiaogeng was confident in his paintings. He returned to the study and knelt down to his dead father with a "thump" and kowtowed three times.

He found the four treasures of the study and quickly drew the face of the middle-aged assassin. It was here that Xiao Geng saw this face, so he drew it very vividly.

“Good drawing!”

Ye Kenan frowned and looked at the face on the painting carefully. Who is he?

“I was the number one in art class in school.”

The boy buried his head in the second face. The assassin was indeed young enough, but there were not so many details, so he could only draw a rough outline. He also drew a clear scar on the right cheek.

Qiu Xiaogeng narrated the entire story of the murder. Ye Kenan admired the nine-year-old child, who kept such a clear mind in the grief of both parents' death, and recalled everything in detail... Such a person is simply terrible when he grows up!

Ye Kenan made a judgment: "After careful planning, the assassin first used the throat cutting method to remove the two policemen standing guard at the alley, and then invaded the home from the roof. The middle-aged assassin had more experience. He quietly jumped out of the yard, sneaked into the study, and stabbed Qiu Desheng to death from behind. According to his original plan, he should sneak into the bedroom again and use his harsh hands while you, your mother and son sleep."

"Because of your visit, I couldn't sleep. I heard the sound of wind outside in the middle of the night - it might be that when the assassin jumped out of the yard, the corner of his clothes was rubbed against the bamboo, and the bamboo leaves were rustling. Now I think about it, this is what the ancient books say!" Qiu Xiaogeng touched his throat, "Otherwise, I would be a corpse at this moment."

"It was your alertness that saved your life."

"It's a pity that I couldn't save my parents' life."

Xiao Geng was still crying, Ye Kenan couldn't comfort him and continued to analyze: "Maybe, that young assassin had no mission to kill, and the original plan was completed by the middle-aged assassin alone."

"What did he do?"

"Learn to kill people - no matter which job I do, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the same is true for killers. This young man probably never really killed anyone. This is his first mission, which is to observe on the roof and learn the teacher's murder skills. Just like I graduated from the Higher Patrol Academy, I also got a patrol on the street for half a year, and then I was a junior attendant for the old detective for half a year before I could officially become the detective. This is the fastest speed."

"I understand. This bad guy was anxious. When he saw me coming out, he thought it would be bad for the middle-aged assassin, so he jumped off the roof and wanted to treat me as his first offering - Arschloch! He looked at the child and was easy to bully! As a result, he stabbed my mother to death first, and was scolded by his teacher, and finally I cut his face."

"It also stabbed my arm!" Ye Kenan covered the wound, and the pain was not over. "This kid was very quick and actually dodged my bullets. Although he was too nervous for the first time to work, it was definitely a good material for being an assassin!"

"Inspector Ye, you saved my life, but can you catch them?"

"I will notify the German Concession and the industrial departments of various foreign concessions in Tianjin, as well as the Beiyang Minister's Office stationed in Tianjin, and post notices everywhere to want the two murderers."

"No, it's three, there's a co-worker outside."

Ye Kenan slapped himself in the face: "Yes, there are three assassins in total."

"There is another question, what about the motive for murder?"

Qiu Xiaogeng remembered that last month, he read a book called "The Opening of the Sherlock Case" from Commercial Press. Lin Shu's translation was the first "Study of Blood" in the Holmes series. On the night of this tragedy, the nine-year-old boy wanted to treat himself and Ye Kenan as Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

"I don't know." Ye Kenan did not destroy the scene. He pointed to Qiu Desheng who was still lying on the desk and said, "Do your father have any enemies?"

"My father is an honest man and has never been in conflict with the world. Our family is in Tianjin without relatives or reasons."

"A few days ago, I secretly investigated that Qiu Desheng worked at Deutsche Bank and was recently dealing with the Boxer Indemnity from China to Germany. Is it related to this huge sum of money?"

"He is just a bank employee and also a translator for the German manager. If someone really targets the Boxer Indemnity, why should I attack my father?"

Ye Ke couldn't think about it. If you talk about enemies, Qin Customs might be one. There might be some people who were murdered by the German army in the Gengzi year. However, is it necessary to mobilize so many people to hire professional assassins? The revenge of ordinary Chinese people is often a pre-provocative murder case, just take a knife, or secretly poison, set fire, and kidnap...

No, the murderer could not have been born for Qiu De. The murderer, like Ye Kenan, was all aimed at the boy in front of him!

"Inspector Ye, I remembered a question..." Qiu Xiaogeng returned to the yard and looked at the crescent moon in the sky, "Why, you just arrived at my house and said you wanted to take me away, and the assassins came to the door?"

"this……"

Ye Kenan was questioned by this boy. But since the Regent and the Interior Office had to find this child, it means that he was very important. It not only related to the royal craftsman Qin Customs, but also to some other upper-level relationship, or some unattainable big man... This is something that he, the small patrol inspector, could not even peek at.

"Also, why are you lying to me?" Xiao Geng drove away the flies around his mother. "What kind of junior class in the Beijing University of China really treats me as a three-year-old child? My parents actually sing a double act with you. What deal did you reach? Or did you threaten them with something? You definitely didn't use money to buy it, and my parents would never betray me for money. So, are you threatening with my life? Are you?"

Ye Ke took a deep breath: "Your little head is so much in your mind! It would be a pity to not be a detective in the patrol station in the future! Are you suspicious that I am an accomplice of the assassins? And the injury on my arm is also a bitter plan?"

"I don't know that in this troubled world, everything is possible."

"If the Inspector can't prove his innocence, who else can you trust?"

"The newspaper says that in this world, never believe the words of the police and officials."

"That's the newspaper of the revolutionary party." Ye Kenan touched the boy's head and bent down to stare at his eyes. "Listen to me, I don't mean the government, nor do I mean the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I only represent the 'chirol' of an inspector. When you grow up, you will understand slowly."

After saying that, Ye Kenan picked up the murder weapon left by the assassin at the murder scene, the dagger that pierced Qiu Desheng's wife's heart.

He put the dagger under a light. A good knife with the ivory handle was definitely what the ancients said was that the sharp weapon of whispering and cutting iron like mud, which means that the assassin had a good background. Xiao Geng also came over to see it. The dagger he said that he killed his father was also the same ivory handle. On one side of the hilt, there were strange patterns carved. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully - it turned out to be a comet hitting the moon.

Xiao Geng studied the knowledge of comets in school. The ivory knife hilt was inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and it was made into a "broom star" with a long tail, which just hit a full moon.

Mother-of-pearl is a thin sheet of various patterns and patterns polished with snail shells and sea shells, embedded on the surface of the utensils. It is more common in musical instruments, lacquerware, screens, furniture, ancient mirrors. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is a unique decorative process in China. Mother-of-pearl presents a magical luster like jade. When it changes angles slightly, it has different colors of reflection, giving people the illusion of waves on the sea.

Qiu Xiaogeng will not forget this pattern in his entire life in the future until the end of the world.
