First Female Constable
First Female Constable
Beep—!
Under curfew, the capital city was deserted.
The whistle was particularly piercing.
The visitor was extremely cautious.
She smelled blood, sensed a skilled fighter in the alley, and decisively blew her whistle to alert others:
"The Six Doors will be here shortly."
"You must not put up a stubborn resistance."
"Come out one by one, so you don't suffer."
The one who shouted was a female constable, but she was quick-witted and capable.
Call for backup immediately and maintain a safe distance.
Clearly not a newbie.
She was stuck at the alley entrance, able to advance or retreat as needed.
Luck seems to be on Zhao Jing's side this time.
He first received Tu Su's help, and then devised a series of schemes to enter the capital, which went quite smoothly.
Hunting Wei Kai now is a risky move; a slight misstep could lead to a tough opponent.
The vast Yujing, with its sixteen districts, could be so unlucky.
Zhao Jing's eyelids twitched; he felt a deep sense of unease.
Chen Zhong gave a knowing look:
【Young master, shall I give it a try?】
No!
Zhao Jing shook his head and rejected the idea:
[Too far away; a missed attack leads to total defeat.]
[I can continue playing this role.]
Zhao Jing waved his hand, and everyone instantly calmed down.
The Blood Raven Flying Sedan started smoothly and drove out of the dark alley at a leisurely pace.
With the sun high in the sky, the night in Yujing was half bright and half dark.
The moment we stepped out of the alley, a red light seemed to fall, and our eyes met.
"Is it you?"
The two spoke in unison.
What Zhao Jing saw was a beautiful figure in fiery red.
Dressed in a striking red outfit, with a tall and slender figure, she resembled a drawn blade.
Her high ponytail swayed in the wind, like the hilt of a sword.
She was plain-faced and cold as frost.
Dazzlingly beautiful, yet aloof and unapproachable.
Zhao Jing recognized her.
This woman's name resounded throughout the capital.
Leng Huazhu, the cold-faced Rakshasa of the Six Doors, is the number one female constable in the land.
If it weren't for the iron chains binding her, which somewhat spoiled the scene, she would indeed be a stunning beauty.
Leng Huazhu also recognized Yuwen Zhe, and the disgust in her eyes was undisguised:
"Young Master Yuwen, there's a smell of blood and death in the alley."
"Stop making excuses, give up the fight!"
"Come with me to the Six Doors!"
No wonder Leng Huazhu came knocking on my door; I was careless after all.
Leng Huazhu possesses an extraordinary talent: a keen sense of smell. He can detect a distinctive odor of blood even from across the street, using this ability to solve countless cases.
Zhao Jing had just suffocated Wei Kai, and the aura of his death had leaked out, attracting this hound with its keen sense of smell.
This is getting a bit troublesome.
She didn't even give Yuwen Yi any face.
We need to try other methods.
Zhao Jing chuckled to himself:
"Officer Leng, are you joking?"
"I'm willing to go with you. Do the other constables dare to arrest me?"
"Go home as soon as possible and avoid causing trouble for the Leng family."
As soon as Zhao Jing finished speaking, the constables arrived at the sound of the whistle.
Upon seeing Yuwen Zhe, their expressions changed drastically, and they all bowed respectfully.
"This humble servant pays his respects to Young Master Yuwen!"
May the young master be blessed with good fortune and peace.
Zhao Jing smiled faintly:
No need for formalities.
A constable mustered his courage and asked:
"Young master, what exactly happened?"
Zhao Jing explained with a smile:
"I saw a huge rat scurry into the alley."
"We chased them all the way here."
"I didn't expect that Chief Constable Leng would misunderstand; it's really a trivial matter."
"Everyone, please disperse. I won't hold it against you."
Leng Huazhu is upright and stubborn, and should not be provoked too much; naturally, a way out should be given.
absurd!
Is this what you call a reason?
Leng Huazhu was unaware that this person could be so shameless. Even more absurdly, the constables, as if they had found a treasure, suddenly realized:
"I see."
"It's just that a curfew has been imposed in the capital to prevent petty thieves from taking advantage of the chaos."
"It's late and dangerous, please return quickly, young master."
Zhao Jing was also all smiles:
"With you protecting the capital, the people have no worries."
The constables cheered and saw them off.
"Please wait, young master!"
Zhao Jing sat upright in the sedan chair, ready to swagger away.
What?
Leng Huazhu flew into a rage:
"Halt! Anyone who dares to leave!"
The iron chains on Leng Huazhu's body twisted like a python, poised to strike.
Anyone who leaves will be punished with chains.
Zhao Jing had no choice but to stop.
Within the capital, if action is taken, the consequences are unpredictable.
Leng Huazhu sternly rebuked:
"You're blind, your noses are broken, and your ears are deaf!"
"Their bodies still reek of blood; they had clearly just killed someone!"
"The sedan chair had a faint, pleasant fragrance, like the Ten-Fragrance Softening Powder."
"Moreover, the Sumeru Ring on his hand can conceal all things!"
"This must be a scheme to lure someone into the sedan chair, poison them, hide the body, and then use a magic ring to transfer the body!"
"The truth will be revealed once the Sumeru Ring is examined!"
"Moreover, the princess has ordered a thorough investigation into the disorder and the maintenance of order, and no one is exempt from this order."
"This isn't Liangzhou!"
Such keen insight.
Great reputations are never undeserved.
The Leng family is one of the four major families of the Six Doors, and Leng Huazhu is the leading figure of this generation, born with extraordinary talent.
At a young age, she had already reached the late stage of the Innate Realm and unlocked the secrets of spiritual awareness.
This will greatly enhance a martial artist's senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
Leng Huazhu was already exceptionally gifted, and now she possesses an even keener eye for detail.
She saw through the truth at a glance.
Although she guessed correctly, Zhao Jing and his group remained calm and composed.
What can a lowly constable do to me?
The Yuwen family's trademark is their protective talisman.
Zhao Jing didn't expect to persuade Leng Huazhu, but instead focused his attention on the other constables.
It's up to you guys.
The constables looked embarrassed.
Leng Huazhu was a Silver-ranking constable in charge of the Anmin District of Yujing, and had even been praised by Emperor Hongjing.
Especially since the Leng family holds a prestigious position within the Six Doors, they should rightfully comply.
But Young Master Yuwen...
Everyone turned to look at Leng Huazhu's deputy, the head constable Tie Qianjun.
Hey bro, come on over.
Although Tie Qianjun was only Leng Huazhu's deputy, he was considered her guide, and quickly advised her:
"Captain Leng!"
"How can you arrest someone based on mere speculation?"
"If we're talking about murder cases, there must be victims and corpses, right?"
"Huai Lie, go check out the alley."
"yes!"
Feng Huailie leaped into the alley and returned moments later.
"Hey kid!"
"No body, no struggle, not a crime scene!"
See, those who understand the times are the wise ones.
Zhao Jing smiled:
"The Six Doors are indeed discerning and never wrong an innocent person."
"Her Highness the Princess is absolutely right to instruct you to maintain order."
"you!"
Leng Huazhu found it hard to believe that his subordinates were so afraid of the Yuwen family.
Tie Qianjun frantically winked:
"Since Officer Leng has doubts, why not inform the Yuwen family and ask them to assist in the investigation?"
"What do you think?"
The situation in Yujing is becoming clearer; the eldest princess will become the empress.
The Six Doors chose to surrender and were ordered to maintain stability.
After all, chaos breeds disorder, and many people take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters. Leng Huazhu happens to be in charge of Anmin District.
Logically speaking, Leng Huazhu was authorized to arrest people on the orders of the Eldest Princess.
But the eldest princess didn't order you to capture Yuwen Zhe!
Tie Qianjun, well-versed in human relationships, naturally wouldn't allow Leng Huazhu to act arbitrarily.
Zhao Jing clapped his hands and laughed:
"What the constable said is quite right."
"I will be waiting for you at my residence at noon the day after tomorrow. You are welcome at any time."
"I have urgent business to attend to."
"Carry the sedan chair."
"Wait a minute!"
Leng Huazhu snorted coldly and revealed a token:
"The Flying Phoenix Order is here!"
"This constable suspects you are involved in a murder!"
"You are not allowed to leave!"
Leng Huazhu trusted her own judgment.
Yuwen Zhe must have killed someone.
She staked her entire future on this.
Everyone was stunned.
