Chapter 17 Solving Puzzles
In the secret room, Xue Bing's "Grandma Gongsun" dressed in the dress was finally awake, but she couldn't move all over and called softly: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
Just after shouting twice, suddenly, a snake was put in front of her. Xue Bing was so scared that she was lost and screamed: "Ah——!"
"Haha!" With a chuckle, the blue and white snake was thrown aside and burst into several sections. Jin Jiuling looked down at the "Grandma Gongsun" in the box and said, "You don't have to be afraid! I never hurt women! Especially beautiful women!"
Xue Bing said cooperatively: "I have always been afraid of snakes!".
"Yes! It is precisely because of this rumor that I specially prepared a snake. You are indeed Aunt Gongsun! And you really can't act!" Jin Jiuling smiled... It's really a divine logic!
Didn’t he know that women have always had no ability to resist furry creatures, and they have always hated cold-blooded animals such as spiders, centipedes, and snakes the most?
"Where is Lu Xiaofeng? Where did he die?" Xue Bing snorted coldly.
Jin Jiuling bent down, pinched Xue Bing, the little face of "Grandma Gongsun" in his eyes, and said, "He has handed you over to me from head to toe! Hahaha!"
"Then what is this place? What do you want to do? Jin Jiuling! I recognize you!" Xue Bing shouted.
Jin Jiuling curled his lips and said, "This is my home. You are my guest. Of course I have to treat you well! This is a cold Persian wine, clear the heat and remove the fire!"
After saying that, Jin Jiuling drank the wine in the small cup and smacked his lips happily. Xue Bing snorted coldly and said, "I should have thought of you for a long time. You want me to take the blame for you, right? But pretend you don't understand! In fact, you, the chief constable of the "Six Doors", is the real "Ruanzhi Thieves"?"
Jin Jiuling suddenly turned around, faced Xue Bing, and said, "Oh? Even if I am the real 'Rule of Willow Branch', why did you choose to take the blame? And... why are you talking so loudly? I can't hear it!"
Xue Bing sneered and said, "I'm so loud! What can you do? Humph! As for why I chose me to take the blame for you, because no one in the world knows my background, so no matter how you frame it, no one can verify it!"
"Hahaha!" Jin Jiuling laughed and said, "Your guess is really interesting! Unfortunately, I can only listen to it as a joke!"
Xue Bing lay in the box and shook her head, saying, "This is not a guess, but a real evidence! You work overtime and we commit the crime, and then deliberately bets Lu Xiaofeng, who took on such a case! Forced him to be unable to carefully examine it in a pressing time... tempted him to catch me and be your scapegoat! It's really a good plan!"
"Actually, there is no need for you to speak so loudly! Even if you scream, no one will come to save you!" Jin Jiuling smiled sinisterly, but he was not yet so proud.
Seeing that he was not deceived, Xue Bing said excitedly: "What? Is it guilty to being a thief?"
"Hahaha!" Jin Jiuling was agitated and laughed: "Just! Feeling guilty? You and Lu Xiaofeng are just two fools. I am playing with them in my palm! Lu Xiaofeng! Tsk tsk! Let him catch you, it is more convincing than me, the six-door captain, to catch you! Who in the world doesn't believe in Lu Xiaofeng?"
What I said is a bit sour no matter how hard I heard it. Indeed, as the chief constable of the "Six Gates", his reputation in the world is not as good as a wild path. How could he be convinced by the so-called heroic detective?
"Lu Xiaofeng is really a fool! When you found him, you had bad intentions and deliberately gave him the embroidered handkerchief embroidered with willow branches, asking him to find the "divine needle" Mrs. Xue. Then he threatened his old friend Snake King and told him the secret between the "Red Shoes" and me, so Lu Xiaofeng couldn't believe you anymore!" Xue Bing sneered repeatedly.
Jin Jiuling smacked his lips and sighed: "I know the Snake King doesn't want to do that. But he has no choice!"
"I really can't understand! A person like the Snake King who values love and friendship is Lu Xiaofeng's ultimate friend, and he is not afraid of death. How did you threaten him?" This question was something Lu Xiaofeng told Xue Bing to ask. Xue Bing also asked with a nervous heart at this time.
Jin Jiuling waved his sleeve and said, "You are wrong! Everyone's most basic desire/desire is survival! All virtues are not worth mentioning compared to survival! If he wants to survive on my territory, he has to listen to me, otherwise, I will make his team of men and women not have a single one left!";
"So, you used those people living on the black street to threaten the Snake King, and the Snake King had to lure me to meet Lu Xiaofeng. In this way, Lu Xiaofeng turned all his attention to me! Despicable!" Xue Bing snorted coldly.
"That's right! Especially the Snake King died because of this! He will not let you go!" Jin Jiuling said with a smile;
"Jackal! Are you not afraid that I will tell the world?" Xue Bing cursed angrily.
"Hahaha! The more you say it, the more you become, the more you are! You are now the 'Ruozhi thief' that everyone can kill! And I am the chief constable of the Six Gates! Who do you think they will believe? Besides, in this place, only heaven and earth know you and I know...";
Before he finished speaking, the secret compartment of the secret room suddenly opened. With a frivolous voice, the jade cup worth thousands of taels of silver in Jin Jiuling's hand fell to the ground, shattering: "There is Lu Xiaofengzhi!"
In Jin Jiuling's dazed gaze, Lu Xiaofeng walked in, Xue Bing also got up from the big box, was helped up by Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "Thank you for your hard work! Come on! Sit for a while!";
Xue Bing chuckled and said, "How is it? It's pretty good! He admitted it all! Jin Jiuling! Compared to you, Lu Xiaofeng understands women better!"
"When did you...have you colluded?" Jin Jiuling was stunned and puzzled.
Xue Bing cursed: "Hmph! It's so ugly! What does it mean to collude with him? Do you still collude with you? Hypocrite! Jackal! Despicable villain!"
Jin Jiuling ignored Xue Bing, stared at Lu Xiaofeng tightly, and said, "I think this plan is perfect, how do you know this!"
"A loophole!" Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his finger and said, "Sikong Zhaixing! It's not surprising that Sikong Zhaixing stole my things, because the greatest pleasure in his life is stealing Lu Xiaofeng's things! But this time... someone forced him! There is only one kind of person who can force him to do this! Constable! And he is a very high-level constable! Because he is a thief, or a thief!"
"That's all?" Jin Jiuling laughed and felt a little disdainful.
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "Of course not! I have discovered six problems in total! First, the opportunity for you to appear when you were in the Xiyuan Archway was so clever! Moreover, your swordsmanship has made such a rapid progress. Although you tried your best to suppress your martial arts, I still saw it. This made me puzzled and I couldn't convince myself!"
"Secondly, as early as when the Snake King died, someone reminded me that the real 'willow branch thief' was actually by my side! After thinking about it, I finally thought of you! Because your enthusiasm for this matter is so puzzling to me!";
"Third, I visited the royal palace with you at night that day. Although the "Luzhi Thief" infiltrated the royal palace with clever means, it still left clues. Ordinary constables may be difficult to detect, but you missed it! This made me very curious!"
"It seems that I really overlooked one thing! Lu Xiaofeng's curiosity is really serious!" Jin Jiuling sighed and said, "But don't forget that I saved you in the house west of the capital that day!"
"Well! That really touched me!" Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "This is the fourth one! The Snake King died at that time, and it was dead before dark! This is also your biggest loophole! Since Aunt Gongsun agreed to meet with me in the Xiyuan Archway in the third gate, how could she kill the Snake King?"
"What then?" Jin Jiuling said: "But you don't have any real evidence after all!"
"That's right! So I can only continue playing! Fifth! An emergency occurred at this time, and it was in one of the secret huts of the "Red Shoes" organization that you secretly monitored! Xue Bing is missing! Nothing can anger me more than this incident! This is a god-given opportunity for you! In fact, you have already arranged that room! Just waiting to lure me to take the bait! You are not hesitating to use a bitter meat trick, but it has aggravated my suspicion of you!" Lu Xiaofeng snorted.
"It would be very sad to doubt someone who has saved you like this!" Jin Jiuling said with his shoulders in his arms.
"Yes! I owe you a favor! But as you said yourself, the "Six Gates" in the capital are good friends with the miracle doctor Ye Xingshi. He can resolve any poison, so you have no worries!" Lu Xiaofeng said confidently.
"But you think so, it's too... arbitrary, right?" Jin Jiuling said again;
Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "Indeed, so, there are six more! The brocade handkerchief embroidered with willow branches! In fact, you deliberately made an embroidered look in the treasure house of the royal palace, but in fact..."
Xue Bing interrupted, "Actually, I could see that the willow branches on the square brocade handkerchief had a leaf with thick stitches. I wouldn't read it wrong, because the willow branches were embroidered with two layers of front and back. You seemed to be embroidering, but in fact you were removing the thread!"
"I didn't even hide this from you... Qixia'an! You! Who are you?" Jin Jiuling heard something unusual, looked at Xue Bing, and said, "No wonder! I pinched your face just now, and I always felt a little weird. You - not Aunt Gongsun!"
"No! I am!" Xue Bing untied the human skin mask, showed his true face, and smiled and said, "Everyone knows the 'Divine Needle Xue Family', but he doesn't know that the ancestors of the Xue family were the 'Gongsun Aunt' of the Tang Dynasty! And I am the current 'Gongsun Aunt' and the direct disciple of the 'Nichang Sword Artifact'!"
