Chapter 151 Important clues

Compared with the Tianzhu of the Ministry of Justice, which specifically detains serious criminals in the imperial court, and the Censorate Prison, which detains guilty and impeached officials, the specifications of the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison are indeed much lower, but this is still a place that makes the people in the capital frightened. Once the prisoners who are thrown into the Kaifeng Prefecture Prison have to take off their upper skins if they think about it.

Jin Yi, who was locked in the prison at this time, was in a bad condition. Because of his broken hand and severely injured, and being tied up by chains, he was completely embarrassed and could not even move. If it weren't for the ups and downs of his chest, he would have been regarded as a corpse.

When Sun Tu came to the cell and saw his half-dead look, his brows frowned slightly: "Aren't I someone taking care of him? He was seriously injured, but he couldn't stand the tossing."

Chen Liang smiled bitterly and explained: "This is a preferential treatment for Du Tou, otherwise how could Jin Yi be locked here alone? Moreover, the injuries on his hand have been treated, so there will be no problem for the time being."

Sun Tu nodded and waved his hand to ask the prison guard who accompanied him to open the door. After he stepped back, he stepped into the cell and looked down at Jin Yi: "Jin Yi, do you know what serious crime you have committed? You will actually come up with such a way to abduct the daughter of the Yu family. Once the people of the Yu family know, I'm afraid you will find out that it will be difficult for you to die safely."

Such threatening words did not make the other party react at all. He was still lying there, as if he was in a coma. Sun Tu did not get angry, but just smiled: "It seems that you have put your life and death aside? As a result, when you took the risk of colluding with the thief of Fan Yanzi, you had planned to die at most, right? But are you really willing? You are obviously an alliance with your companions, but they suddenly turned against you and killed you. If my people hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid you and Miss Yu would have lost their lives?"

Jin Yi's body, who was originally just lying quietly on the ground, suddenly trembled, and his eyes slowly opened, and he looked at Sun Tu thoughtfully. But he still didn't speak, as if he was waiting for someone to continue talking.

Sun Tu did not disappoint him and continued, "I don't hide it from you. I'm here to ask you today just to find out the thieves who are pink swallows to catch them all. This is not only to vent your anger, but also to ensure Miss Yu's future safety..."

"Die'er is in danger?" Jin Yi finally spoke at this time. Obviously, for him now, what he values ​​most is Yu Dieyu's safety.

Sun Tu knew it and looked at him and said, "Now Miss Yu has been taken back by the people of Yu's mansion, of course there will be no danger, but as long as Fan Yanzi is still there, it is hard to say in the future. You should also see the ruthlessness of those people. If they are determined to deal with her, unless she has been hiding in the mansion, there will always be times when they fall into their hands. And what Fan Yanzi does with women, I don't need to say more, right?"

Seeing that Jin Yi still had no intention of speaking again, Sun Tu said again: "Do you think I am exaggerating? I feel that since this matter is over, Fan Yanzi will not seek trouble for her again? You can think so, but what I want to say is that these people act the most cautiously. In order to protect themselves, they can decisively abandon their subordinates and kill you. Do they dare to keep a woman who may know some of their inside stories? Do you dare to bet?

"If you want to protect Miss Yu, your only choice is to cooperate with our government to help us arrest all the fans of the Swallow. In this way, not only will Miss Yu no longer have to worry about being plotted, but your crime may be relieved and you can still go out to see her alive."

"Official... are the officials telling the truth?" This time, Jin Yi was finally moved. He struggled to get up and looked up at Sun Tu and asked.

"I, Sun Tu, don't need to deceive you with such words. Of course, if you want to reduce your guilt, you have to depend on what kind of clues you can provide." Sun Tu said with a smile, and then waited quietly.

After pondering for a while, Jin Yi spoke again: "Actually, I don't know much. Although Uncle Wu... Wang Wu once mentioned that he would lead me into the gang, but this happened before he reached that point."

"I am really curious about this. You are just a down-and-out scholar. Why do they value you so much?" Sun Tu took the opportunity to ask.

"Because of a craft passed down by my family - perfume." Jin Yi smiled bitterly: "My Jin family was originally a famous perfume home in Tokyo. It was my father who thought that studying and studying was the right way, so he made me study poetry and books hard. As a result, I lacked talent. Not only did I fail the imperial examination, but I could not fully inherit the craft passed down by my family, and my family was defeated after my parents died..."

"Refreshing? What kind of incense do they want you to make for them?" Sun Tu asked quickly, as if he had a clue.

Jin Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is a kind of incense powder that can faint when you smell it. Wang Wu once asked his father to make it, but he failed to do his best at that time, and then he left Tokyo. And in the father's notes, there were indeed relevant statements, but there were still some shortcomings, so they asked me to make this incense for them..."

Even though he had already guessed, Sun Tu's face changed after hearing the answer. If Fan Yan really got this thing, more innocent women would be killed by them. So what he cares most now has become this point: "Have you completely re-made this ecstasy incense?"

"Not yet, their requirement is to have a light smell and take effect quickly, and there are always shortcomings."

"But my people didn't find anything related to this in your residence."

"I go elsewhere to stir incense them every day, so there will naturally be no abnormalities there."

"But where is it?" Sun Tu asked anxiously, this was a clue.

But Jin Yi shook his head: "I don't know this either. Every time I go there, I will be blindfolded and sit in the car, only knowing that I am still in Tokyo."

"You're really careful." Sun Tu sighed softly, but from then on, it can be seen that the place should be a key nest that Pink Swallow attaches great importance to. So he asked again: "Did you find nothing? For example, what are the characteristics of the surrounding environment?"

Jin Yi thought about it carefully and said, "I only remember that there was a sound of silk and bamboo coming in from there, but I really couldn't think of anything else."

"Shizhu sound..." Sun Tu repeated in a low voice, "Are there any other clues? For example, who are you in contact with?"

"Only Wang Wu contacted me, but I heard him say that there was a boss and other leader, but who was his leader, but I never heard him mention it."

Sun Tu sighed with some disappointment. It seemed that this Jin Shusheng could not tell more valuable clues. But suddenly, he thought of another point: "You should have used a lot of related spices for your perfume these days, right?"

"Yes, because there are always some shortcomings and they are rushing to hurry up, so I will mix it many times a day, and the spices I use should be about dozens of kilograms."

Sun Tu nodded: "Then tell me all these spices."

Chen Liang, who was guarding the door, quickly understood Sun Tu's intention and quickly remembered it with all his heart. After Jin Yi reported more than a dozen spices, he had already kept it in his mind. When Sun Tu looked at him, the subordinate clasped his fists and said, "I will ask someone to go to various spice shops in the city to find out who have bought these things."

"Anyone who buys a large amount of related spices in a short period of time is suspicious. Also, it is best to find out what those people are going to do." Sun Tu gave another instruct, and Chen Liang then took the order and left.

Sun Tu asked Jin Yi some questions until he confirmed that he could not provide more clues, and he said, "Then you can rest here. Don't worry, this official has asked someone to take care of you, and they won't make things difficult for you."

Just as he was about to leave, Jin Yi spoke again: "Official...Die'er..."

"She is fine, but the fate between you and her is probably over." Sun Tu sighed. He admired everything the couple did for love, but he was powerless in this matter. After all, the identities of the two parties were too different, and Jin Yi was so bold that he had done such a thing.

Sun Tu walked out of the cell, but found that someone was waiting for him in front of him, but it was Cui Lue Shang. The latter was still stained with blood and looked a little excited. It was obvious that he was the one who questioned Fan Yanzi.

Seeing this, Sun Tu's heart was moved: "Old Cui, are there any clues?"

"It's true that the head of the world is clear." Cui Lushang flattered him and said: "These guys really can't explain anything, but the little ones still gain something. One of them happened to meet the little ones."

"Oh? Have you seen him when you asked you to investigate things related to Fan Yanzi before?" Sun Tu guessed immediately.

"That's right, this person is a clerk in Chunxuanlou. Although I haven't talked to Xiaodi, I still remember his appearance." Cui Lue Shang said.

Sun Tu nodded: "Is Chunxuan Tower? That brothel in Xiaotianshui Lane? It seems that it's time to have a good talk with them. I believe these people will never say anything again this time, don't know anything."

Before, Sun Tu sent people to brothels of all sizes in the city to find out the news, but the answers of the people in these places were surprisingly consistent, that is, he was innocent and had never heard of any pink swallows. When the people in the yamen asked again, these people would use their backers to explain things, which made the officers in Kaifeng Prefecture a little difficult to resist.

But this time, the people from Chunxuanlou had fallen into Sun Tu's hands, and the evidence was conclusive, so I was not afraid that they would be so perfunctory to themselves again.
