Red Heart Survey

Lin Youxie has a special status.

She is the only remaining descendant of the four great Qingpai families.

The once prominent four Qingpai families were the earliest core of the Qingpai system. Fly across the Eastern Region with the green card, arrest the lawless, capture all the thieves, and spread your reputation far and wide!

Today, the Metropolitan Inspection Office is the absolute core of the Qingpai system. The captain of Beiya was ordered by the emperor himself, and he was in charge of arresting the heads of the counties. His words and deeds truly represented the will of the entire Qingpai system. Also with a low official rank, he became the core of power in Linzi City.

Lin, Li, Wu, and Cheng, these four glorious surnames, have faded away in the torrent of history.

The only surviving powerhouses of God's presence, Uriel and Li Yougui, died one after another.

The former died, and there is honor to make up for it. The latter dies, but suffers from a crime.

The last afterglow of the Qingpai aristocratic family disappeared with it.

As the orphan of the famous arrester Lin Kuang, Lin Youxie also chose to leave the Qi Kingdom after Feng Gu's case, and went to the Sanxing Palace for further studies.

Jiang Wang couldn't stop thinking about her loss of contact.

So why did he come to Beiya in person, why did he look into Zheng Shangming's eyes.

Of course he understood that with the current situation of Emperor Qi, Lin Youxie who abandoned the country could be accommodated. Even if the descendant of the Qingpai family is as guilty as Li You is, he already deeply hates Qi Ting and thinks that the Jiang Dynasty owes the Qingpai family. Even Lin Youxie, the only remaining descendant of the blue card family, has a good chance of becoming a weapon of public opinion in other countries.

Since Emperor Qi had honored Lin Kuang and Ulie, he would not do anything to Lin Youxie again. He is the son of Qingshan, and he will not be entangled in the ruthlessness of the corners.

But Jiang Wang had no confidence in the Great Qi Empress.

After all, he was a big man who dared to commit crimes under the eyes of the emperor and wiped out all the clues of the past. After all, she could do it by throwing a father's body in front of his young daughter.

Whether it is decisive or ruthless, what Jiang Wang thinks in his heart is "Wang is not like the mother of the country".

Of course, it is not unusual for the current empress to be able to secure her position as the head of the harem in the Daqi court, to stand for so many years, to be respected by the emperor, and to be extremely respected and loved by the ruling and opposition parties.

What Jiang Wang saw and observed was just the tip of the iceberg.

It's just this corner that makes him feel cold...

Zheng Shangming quickly made tracking down Lin Youxie's whereabouts a top priority for the inspection office. Among the many disappearance cases, the priority was given the highest.

Then he said to Jiang Wang: "Go to my room and sit down, and talk about this matter in detail."

Judging from Zheng Shangming's performance, he should be unaware of Lin Youxie's disappearance, and even he himself had some uneasy guesses.

But the green card detectives are a group of sensitive guys, and Zheng Shangming has a lot of family background. Jiang Wang was not sure of his judgment.

So he just said calmly: "Okay."

The two quickly left the Beiya hall and came to Zheng Shangming's independent office.

The room layout is very simple.

A volume of portraits of the dharma beast Xiezhi hung on the front wall, with vivid strokes and majestic aura.

Before this huge portrait, there is a desk full of files. In the sixteen-foot-square room, there were only two chairs, one in front of the desk and the other behind it.

The wall on the right side of the desk is completely blank, while the wall on the left side is covered with various drawings. Some paintings are of people, others are of crime scenes, all of which are detailed and vivid, as if they were there.

Speaking of painters, there are also biases in the contemporary scholars. For example, painters of Taoism and Confucianism mostly pay attention to freehand brushwork. The painters of Art of War ink pay more attention to realism. The painters of the Shi family do not have a fixed impression, they paint all kinds of things.

Of course, this is not absolute, but the mainstream style is roughly the same.

Bai Gexiao, the dean of Qingya Academy, once made a long scroll of "A Thousand Flowers at the Beginning of a Stream", in which thousands of flowers are different and each is full of beauty. It is still regarded as the pinnacle of realistic style.

But the painters of Qingya Academy have always been freehand.

Back to Zheng Shangming.

His painting skills are quite satisfactory, not to mention good or bad, at least Jiang can't appreciate why. I can only see the heart in each stroke, the corners of the painting, and the notes are pasted, full of notes.

The effort that the person spent on handling the case is very clearly reflected in these practical details.

Zheng Shangming closed the doors and windows, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit."

He strode to the desk and tidied up the files swiftly. Classified, meticulous and regular.

It's hard to imagine that he used to hate the green card job so much.

Now he sat down in front of the long desk, and after collecting all the files, there was an undisguised heaviness between his brows. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Brother Jiang, when was the last time you saw Lin Youxie?"

"At the beginning of May, in Lushuang County." Jiang Wang said clearly: "At that time, she said that she was going to the Sanxing Palace for further study. After that, I didn't contact me again. Until a while ago, when I came back from a mission to the grassland, I wrote to San Xing Gong, asked her some questions. As a result, the letter was returned intact, saying that there was no such person.”

"Is there any misunderstanding on the side of Sanxinggong? I mean, is it possible for her to study in some important place, or ordinary Sanxinggong disciples don't know that she went to Sanxinggong?" Zheng Shangming continued to ask road.

"Probably not. But I have asked someone to confirm again." Jiang Wang said.

Zheng Shangming said: "Okay. I will recruit elite Qingpai to track down the whereabouts, and I will also focus on searching from Lushuang County. The intelligence network of the Qingpai system will not be retained. But you still need to be mentally prepared, time has passed so It's been a long time, and it's hard to track down the traces in Lushuang County. This is probably a long-term process..."

Jiang Wang just said: "Then I will trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble." Zheng Shangming waved his hand, hesitant to speak.

Jiang Wang said: "Brother Shang Ming has something to say, you might as well speak up."

Zheng Shangming was silent for a moment, then said: "If..."

After hesitating for a while, he continued: "Have you ever thought about what you want to do?"

He didn't say "if" anything, but both parties understood.

After all, the death of Feng Gushen, the chief eunuch in Changsheng Palace, was the investigation that the two of them started together with Lin Youxie.

They are all well aware of all the changes that have taken place during this period. They are sure of the important clues in the case. It is also in this case that it is determined that they are different from each other and cannot become close friends.

That huge shadow never only enveloped Lin Youxie.

It's just that some people died, some remained silent, and some did what they could.

'If Lin Youxie was really killed by the current queen, like her dead father, dead grandfather Uriel, have you thought about what you would do? '

This is the question that Zheng Shangming failed to really ask.

This question is too serious and too heavy.

So Jiang Wang also thought about it for a moment, and then slowly said: "Until the result is confirmed, I don't know what I will do."

He may have another answer in his heart, but he doesn't have to tell Zheng Shangming, nor will he tell Zheng Shangming.

But even such an answer still silenced Zheng Shangming.

Facing such a terrifying and majestic shadow, how could your answer be "I don't know"?

I don't know, which means there is still a great possibility of impulsiveness.

However, in the face of such an existence, how can you be impulsive? If it is said that the Son of Heaven is the great sun, then the Empress is the bright Moon Jingtian, and the rest, no matter how dazzling they are, are just stars. You are the youngest military meritorious prince in Qi, so what can you do? !

But Zheng Shangming also understood.

This is where Jiang Wang is different from him.

So he was silent.

After a long time, he managed to calm down: "I don't think so. It's just that I can't get in touch now. There are too many possibilities for this matter, and I don't think we are so easy to encounter the worst possibility. "

Jiang Wang said: "Yeah. Maybe she just got tired of the Qi country and at the same time wanted to alienate me as an old friend, so she wandered around the world silently. This is not something difficult to understand."

"It's very likely." Zheng Shangming also tried to keep his tone light-hearted: "The Lin catcher I know is the kind of person who doesn't show on the outside but has a lot of ideas in his heart. Maybe he travels far away and travels all over the world. And amend the law."

People with green cards hanging from their waists are really not suitable for optimistic speculation. Because they often start from the worst situation.

The two were silent for a moment.

"Shang Ming." Jiang Wanghu said authentically.

"Tell me." Zheng Shangming looked at him.

Jiang Wang's voice was very serious: "There may be no results, but you can't lie to me."

Zheng Shangming paused, then nodded seriously: "I understand."

He knew very well that if he cheated Jiang Wang this time, he wouldn't even have to be an ordinary friend in the future.

So he behaved very cautiously.

However, he knows better...

If necessary, he will.

This "necessary" refers to the will of the current emperor Qi.

This is the path he has chosen long ago.

In addition, he is willing to do the duty of a friend.

It can be called a kind of sadness that we have to talk about the duty of friends under this kind of limitation.

However, who has been making mediocre efforts, how can he have the qualifications to say "I don't know what I will do"? He is different from Jiang Wang. He has to know what he will do, he has to know what he can and cannot do.

These musts are not the musts of being born human.

But it is necessary for the position of [Beiya Duwei].

Zheng Shi has stood still for many years, and the experience passed on after leaving office is nothing more than the word "loyalty to the emperor".

...

...

The light turns like a shuttle, and the shadows of the sun move.

Three full days have passed since the capital inspectorate's delegation.

The Sanxing Palace has been confirmed again. The three palaces of Guitian, Judi, and Xingren do not have Lin Youxie. Lin Youxie had never been to Tianxing Cliff.

There was even Zhuo Qingru, an authentic biography of Judi Palace at the Sanxing Palace, who personally replied to a letter to confirm the matter with Jiang Wang.

What was also confirmed in the letter was that Judi Palace did have a quota for real biography, and Daqi had promised to arrest Uriel in recognition of his innovation in autopsy methods. Later, this quota was transferred by Uriel to a man named Lin Youxie.

But Lin Youxie had never reported to the Sanxing Palace.

For Jiang Wang, what this news confirmed was that Lin Youxie did have the possibility of going to the Sanxing Palace, which was in line with the plan that Lin Youxie described when they separated.

From this, it can be inferred that Lin Youxie's disappearance was most likely against her own will.

In other words, something may have happened to Lin Youxie...

As for the Beiya, after three full days of investigation, no useful news came.

With Qi Guoqingpai's powerful intelligence capabilities, there was no trace of Lin Youxie at all. Since May, she seems to have completely... disappeared from this world.

"Wharf, Border County, Overseas. We have sent people to investigate... If it is said that Catcher Lin is determined not to let anyone find her, with her ability, it can be done."

In Wu'anhou's mansion, Zheng Shangming considered his words and said slowly: "I mean, maybe there is such a possibility."

"Okay, I get it, I've troubled you for the past two days." Jiang Wang got up and said.

Zheng Shangming had no choice but to stand up too: "Beiya will not give up tracking, I will notify you as soon as there is news."

"Okay. Hard work." Jiang Wang said calmly.

Zheng Shangming looked at him, but couldn't say anything, so he said goodbye.

Specifically in this matter, did Zheng Shangming find someone with his heart? It must have been searched hard, and even spread the net overseas.

But even Qing Pai, who has poor case-handling skills like Jiang Wang, knows that to investigate a missing person, he must start with two clues.

One is the trajectory of the missing person, and the other is the social relationship of the missing person.

Zheng Shangming went to investigate the wharf, border county, and overseas.

Would he dare to investigate the Tian family who had a huge suspicion? Where is the queen, does he dare to check?

Not to mention a thorough investigation, even Zheng Shangming couldn't do a little extension in that direction.

Jiang Wang didn't want to ask Zheng Shangming to explore in that terrifying shadow, he just understood after three days of waiting that that's all Zheng Shangming could do.

It is true that Lin Youxie's disappearance may not be related to the current queen, and so far there is no clue that can link them together. But with such a natural black wall standing, Zheng Shangming didn't even dare to look over there, so it was destined to be impossible to find out any results.

So he just thanked him and said nothing else.

This is the end of the use of the power of the green card.

Even if he went to find Yang Weitong, the new captain of Beiya, it would not be any different from Zheng Shangming's appearance.

Jiang Wang didn't give himself time to hesitate and lose, he bid farewell to Zheng Shangming, and went out alone.

Without cover, he flew to Lushuang County.

In Qi State, it was difficult for him to hide from the eyes of interested people, so he simply showed his own attitude directly - he wanted to find Lin Youxie in person.

It is true that his ability to find traces is ordinary, and he can even be said to be a complete layman.

But besides him, who else would go to Lin Youxie before he could touch the black wall?

Apart from himself, who else dares to take it seriously and do his best?

The last time I met Lin Youxie was in Lushuang County, in an inaccessible dense forest. At that time, I came here because I was looking for Fourteen.

He asked Lin Youxie for help because of Chongxuansheng, and Lin Youxie agreed without saying a word. Sure enough, without any clues, he was the first to find someone and pulled Chongxuansheng, who was on the verge of collapse, out of the sea of ​​misery .

Now that Lin Youxie is missing, who can find her?

Walking through the dense forest, startled the flying birds.

The voice is hoarse and noisy.

I revisited the old place today, and saw the thin yellow leaves of the thin tree, which is quite different from the old days.

The glade is still there, and the two opposite branches are still there.

It's just that the open space is full of residual leaves, and the horizontal branches are bare and thin...

All seem lonely.

Jiang Wang thought to himself, it was because of the autumn.
