Chapter 319: Night Visit to the Yamen
In the middle of the night, Pan Yun sneaked into the yamen and found the room that Captain Zhou had taken her to today. She didn't even turn on the lights, but started searching in the dim moonlight outside the window.

She remembered the place where Captain Zhou had taken the case files, so she looked there first and soon found the file she had read during the day. She opened it and flipped through it. There were still five sheets of paper inside, so she stuffed it away and reached out to flip through the files on both sides.

Pan Yun quickly turned to another file.

There were still five pieces of paper inside. The reason why Pan Yun noticed it was that there were only two simple lines of words on it, recording the address and name, as well as the four words "suicide" added in red ink at the end.

Pan Yun paused and turned to the next piece of paper. There were five sheets of paper. Three of them had "suicide" written on them, and the other two had no traces of red ink. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Pan Yun wrote down their address, put the case files away, and was about to leave when she glanced at the neatly arranged case files next to her and she paused.

Now that I'm here, it would be unreasonable not to take something more.

Pan Xiaohei jumped from the roof to the window lightly, meowed into the room and said, "This is a file, not money. Are you going to leave or not? Someone is coming."

Pan Yun casually took a file from the side and opened it, saying, "Who said this isn't money? As long as we can catch the person, this is all money!"

"We haven't turned on the lights. If you don't make any noise, no one will know we are here."

Pan Jun looked at the records in the file in the dim moonlight and raised his eyebrows slightly at a glance. This person's file was much more detailed than Hua Bulius's.

In a case of home robbery and murder, not only is there a detailed account of the incident, but also a clear image of the criminal's face.

Pan Yun memorized the face of the criminal, turned to the next one, and saw the reward of 100 taels at the bottom. He couldn't help but mutter, "With such a high reward, why didn't they post it? Has it been taken down? But the criminal hasn't been caught yet, so they can just post it again. Hasn't Hua Buliu's reward notice been posted back and forth in the past two days?"

Captain Zhou: ...If they didn’t post each one for you to take down, they wouldn’t have to post them twice every day.

Pan Yun memorized the information of the murderer named Chang Mingwei and was about to turn to another file when he heard the sound of tiles being stepped on above his head.

Pan Yun immediately stuffed the case file back and hid in the shadows.

Pan Xiaohei laughed at her openly from the window, "I told you someone was coming, but you refused to listen. Now you're blocked, right?"

Pan Xiaohei noticed a gaze falling on it from the roof, but it didn't care and even barked a few more times wildly.

It's just a cat, and it doesn't believe that there are people who would be so crazy about a cat.

As a result, the sight that had slipped away quickly came back, and it felt the gaze staring at it becoming more and more burning and... weird.

Pan Xiaohei's body froze, and he couldn't help but turn his head and meow at Pan Yun in the room: "Come and save me - it seems he is really a pervert!"

Pan Jun stood motionless in the shadows, waiting for the person to take action.

A figure nimbly climbed into the house, then turned his head to look at the black cat that was watching him warily through the window, and frowned slightly.

He did not reach out to Pan Xiaohei, but looked around cautiously. When he saw no one, he slowly approached Pan Xiaohei and said, "All black cats in the world are the same. You are not Pan Xiaohei, right?"

Pan Xiaohei: ...

Pan Yun, who was standing behind him and about to hit him with a club, said: …

To reduce the force of the palm knife, Pan Jun, who was standing on his right, gently patted his left shoulder.

He turned left suddenly, drew out his sword with a clang, and shouted, "Who?"

Pan Jun quickly pulled the towel off his face from the right side and replied faintly, "Me!"

He took two steps back in fear, and then he saw Pan Yun standing behind him. He couldn't help but screamed, "Pan Sanzhu, why are you here?"

Pan Yun: "This is my Guangxin Prefecture. It is my right here. But you, a Henan native, why are you running to my Guangxin Prefecture?"

Qu Le: "The whole world belongs to the Ming Dynasty. I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. I can go wherever I want. What's your business?"

Pan Yun: "I can't do anything about it, but you were wearing night clothes and a mask and broke into the government office at night. As a good citizen, I can't just ignore it if I see it!"

Qu Le felt guilty, but he quickly realized, "Are you a good citizen? Why did you break into the government office at night?"

Pan Yun said bluntly: "Who said I broke into the government office at night? I was so engrossed in reading the case files that I didn't get off work!"

"Off duty?" Qu Le looked doubtful. "You are on duty at the government office? How is that possible? You are a Taoist priest, and a woman!"

Pan Yun: "Who said that female Taoist priests can't work for the government? I posted a bounty on the government's list to catch a criminal. Can't I look for the criminal's information here?"

Qu Le had nothing to say and believed it.

The main reason was that Pan Yun was too confident, and she didn't have any disguise at all. Except for the fact that she had an extra hat on her head, she looked exactly the same as when I saw her at the beach in Quanzhou not long ago.

Seeing that he had overpowered the other party, Pan Yun folded his arms and leaned on the table, raised his chin, and asked, "Tell me, why did you break into the government office at night?"

"What do you mean by night break-in? This is night exploration! Do you know how to use the right words?"

Pan Yun frowned.

Qu Le then coughed lightly and said, "I ran away from home."

Pan Jun looked at him blankly, "Then what? What does this have to do with the night break-in, oh, night visit to the government office?" "Of course it has something to do with it. I ran away from home and my family refused to give me banknotes anymore," Qu Le said, "I have no money on me, so I have to come out and earn it myself."

"You've earned enough money to work in the government?"

Qu Le: "Like you, I also posted a notice to catch the murderer, but I only have a picture, and I know the man's name, age and household registration. Other than that, I know nothing and can't find him at all."

He said, "I have asked Mr. Hu about this. To catch the murderer, it is not enough to just know this information. We also need to fully understand the case."

"Why did he kill people? Why did he kill an entire family? What kind of person is he in his daily life? What are his hobbies? We need to find out clearly. Then we can check his relatives and friends. Based on these, we can infer his whereabouts. Only then can we find him."

Qu Le said: "Hero Hu said that the difficulty of catching the criminal is usually only 30% of the time, and the remaining 70% is how to find the criminal."

Pan Yun: "Who is the wanted criminal you revealed?"

Qu Le: "It was a murderer named Chang Mingwei. He was extremely vicious. He broke into a house to rob property and even killed a family of five."

Pan Yun: "How much is the reward on the wanted list you revealed?"

Qu Le: "One hundred taels."

Pan Yun: "Did you find the person?"

"...No, if I could find someone, would I still go to the government office at night to check the files?"

Pan Yun said, "I know the case file of this person. I can help you find it. You go find him. I can help you catch him. You have to give me half of the reward."

Qu Le: "I don't need your help to catch him, I can do it myself. Although this man is fierce, he has never learned martial arts, and only knows some punches and kicks."

Pan Yun: "No money? Forget it, I won't give you the file."

Qu Le: "If you don't give it to me, can't I find it myself?"

After saying that, he walked past Pan Yun and went to look at the case files.

Pan Jun turned around and shouted out the window, "Someone come——"

Qu Le was so frightened that he tried to cover her mouth, but how could he touch Pan Yun?

Pan Jun slapped his hand and shut up automatically, looking at Qu Le with a smug look on his face, "The gatehouse of the government office is not far from here. I will definitely be able to call someone over if I shout again."

Qu Le could not help stamping his feet and said in submission: "Give it to you, give it to you, isn't it just fifty taels? I'll give it to you!"

Pan Yun was finally satisfied. He reached out and pulled out a case file from the shelf and threw it to him. "I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Take a look. Someone must have been alarmed just now. It won't be long before someone comes here to investigate."

Qu Le nervously pulled the paper away and complained, "How can I finish reading it in a quarter of an hour? And I have to remember it... Why did you shout just now?"

Pan Jun crossed his arms and said, "I shouted because you refused to cooperate. Look quickly!"

A quarter of an hour passed in a flash, and just when Qu Le saw the climax, they heard footsteps approaching.

Pan Yun quickly pulled back the files, stuffed them into a paper bag, sealed it simply, and put it into the cabinet. Then, holding the cat in one hand and pulling Qu Le's collar with the other, he flew out of the window, stepped on the wall twice, flew onto the roof, and left the yamen after a few jumps.

Hearing the noise, the gatekeeper who was patrolling with a lantern felt a shadow passing over his head. When he looked up, there was nothing in the sky, only the shadows of the trees next to him were swaying, which looked like people.

He paused slightly and started knocking on the railings and pillars in the corridor with the wooden stick in his hand, trying to scare people away with the noise.

Pan Yun carried Qu Le and moved across the roof as if he were walking on flat ground.

Qu Le tried hard to open his eyes, but he could only keep them open a crack. The cold wind was blowing on his face, and he could not open them at all. However, he also felt the power of Pan Jun's Qinggong. He did not react until he was put on the ground.

Pan Jun dropped him in disgust, then threw Pan Xiaohei in her arms to Miao Zhen.

Miaozhen reached out to take it, touched Pan Xiaohei soothingly, and coaxed it a few words. Only then did Qu Le realize Miaozhen was present.

But he didn't care about Miao Zhen at all. He turned his head sharply to look at Pan Yun and asked, "Master Sanzhu, are you really the junior sister of Master Xuanmiao and a disciple of Sanqing Temple?"

This was already well known in Quanzhou. Alas, the main reason was that when I chose a fake name, I didn't expect to meet real seniors, so I was exposed.

Pan Jun no longer thought about pretending and nodded, "Yes."

Qu Le asked excitedly: "Are you still accepting disciples at Sanqing Temple?"

He said, "I don't ask for much. I just want to learn the Qinggong skills from you and Master Xuanmiao."

Pan Yun: "Not everyone can learn the Qinggong that my Fourth Senior Sister and I have..."

Qu Le: "I am willing to pay to enter the temple, as long as I can learn your Qinggong skills."

"...Although not everyone can learn it, there is still hope if you work hard. How much can you offer?"

She and Xuanmiao both used Yuanli and added the light skill of flying objects. Although it is difficult, as long as the internal force is trained to a certain stage, it can be converted into Yuanli. It is completely possible to learn it.
