Chapter 78: Confrontation
There was a murder in the state capital, and the deceased was a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the One Qi Realm, so it stands to reason that this case is of course under the jurisdiction of the adjudication department.
But Lawson couldn't easily hand over Cao Qing's body.
Because the other party is a dignified flag officer of the garrison.
And in terms of strength, Cao Qing can be regarded as a golden signboard of the garrison.
Now that the person is dead, if it is publicized by the Adjudication Division again, it can be said to be a great blow to the prestige of the garrison, and of course it is not what Lin Qianjun wants to see.
And Rosen, as the first witness at the scene of the crime, must not let such a thing happen.
Otherwise, it would be a remiss of duty.
Although in essence, Rosen is actually a member of the Adjudication Division, the matter is not directly related to his mission itself, and he cannot risk revealing his identity to assist the Adjudicator Division.
The first lesson that Chen Fu and Nie Changde, two veteran spies from the Earth Working Group, taught Rosen was that he must take self-preservation as his first priority no matter what the circumstances.
And the key to doing this is to completely integrate your mind into the latent side.
Therefore, Rosen cannot think about countermeasures from the perspective of the adjudication department.
Instead, you should really think of yourself as a member of the garrison.
So as of now, he hasn't had any problems coping.
Before the people from the Adjudication Division arrived, Lawson seized the last time to observe the entire corner of the secret room.
Then he didn't hesitate to rip off Cao Qing's clothes, used his eyes as a camera, and took a full body examination of Cao Qing.
What exactly was the cause of Cao Qing's death?
Was it really strangulation?
Rosen wasn't sure.
After all, he is not a forensic doctor.
So he had to make sure he didn't miss any details.
At least judging from the current situation, Lawson did not find any external injuries to Cao Qing within the reach of the naked eye, including a pinhole-sized wound.
But he keenly noticed that Cao Qing's ten fingers were a little black, and the color of his lips was slightly purple.
Is it poisoning?
Rosen's father, Luo Zhiqing, is a mystery writer, and Rosen has been exposed to it since he was a child, but he also knows a little bit about it.
But he understood even more that unless Cao Qing's body was further dissected, he would not be able to easily assert the cause of his death with his own little three-legged cat effort.
The problem is that in order for an autopsy to be performed, the body must be sent to the adjudication division......
That's not what Rosen wants to happen.
After examining the body, Rosen once again turned his attention back to the secret room environment and began to think about the logic of the murderer.
Why deliberately set up a secret room?
If it weren't for making Cao Qing's death look like suicide......
So, what's the point?
And it should be noted that who is Cao Qing?
That's the strongest person in the entire garrison at the level of flag officer and below!
One Qi Realm Great Perfection!
If you want him to die so quietly, at least you have to be a master of the Liangyi Realm to do it!
And people with this kind of strength, do they still need to make a secret room to come out?
Uncanny.
It's just weird.
Could it be that Cao Qing was first poisoned to lose his combat effectiveness, and then strangled to death with a rope?
Possibly......
Just when Rosen was secretly pondering, there was already a noise outside the door, and Rosen guessed that it might be Pan Shi's side that couldn't stand it, so he immediately turned around and walked out of the house.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived in the front yard, I heard a familiar voice exploding like thunder.
"Captain Pan, if you are obsessed and obstruct our investigation of the case, don't blame Zhan for being polite!"
Rosen walked to the courtyard, looked at the extremely kind face, and sneered: "Ouch, isn't this the exhibition of the Adjudication Division, why are you so interested tonight to come here to inspect?"
When Zhan Linwen saw Rosen, his eyes immediately widened, and he said in a deep voice, "Rosen, why are you here?"
"Zhan Sicheng!" Rosen snorted and said, "I am now the chief instructor of the garrison training, and I am equivalent to the status of the four banner commanders, so I am afraid it is inappropriate for Zhan Sicheng to name and name him like this, right?"
When the words fell, there was a dead silence in the field, and even Pan Shi's gaze at Rosen was a little strange.
Prior to this, almost all the high-level leaders of the garrison had heard that Rosen was swept away by the Ruling Division, but they never thought that the relationship between Rosen and Zhan Linwen was so bad?
Hearing this, another figure stood up from the crowd and taunted Rosen: "What a villain!"
Rosen looked at the familiar horse face, and the red light in his palm loomed.
"What kind of thing are you! How dare you insult your own official in public!"
Yuan Bo looked at the aura in Lawson's hand, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his lower abdomen, and then his whole person flew backwards, and when he landed, the corners of his mouth were already bright red.
He looked at Zhan Linwen with an incredulous expression, and wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a large area of blood flowed down.
Zhan Mou has no way to discipline him, and his subordinates have no mouth, and he hopes that Luo Jiaoxi will laugh at it. ”
Rosen laughed and said to Zhan Linwen: "Since Zhan Sicheng took the initiative to teach a lesson, then I am naturally not so stingy." ”
Zhan Linwen chuckled: "Since this is the case, then Zhan Mou wants to lead someone to search here, I wonder if Luo Jiaoxi will also stop it?"
As he spoke, Zhan Linwen already held one hand on the handle of the knife, and he had the meaning of pulling out the knife to face each other if he didn't agree with each other.
And at this time, Pan Shi of course stood firmly by Rosen's side, although he didn't say a word, but the meaning was self-evident.
For a while, the atmosphere in the arena became extremely tense.
Two night patrol teams from the garrison went toe-to-toe with six officers from the Adjudication Division.
Lawson and Pan Shi locked their eyes on Zhan Linwen's body.
It was at this moment that Rosen spoke.
"I know that the Adjudication Division has the right to supervise all doubtful cases, so I'm curious, is it because our military commander Cao Qi has committed something here?"
Zhan Lin Wen's eyes were slightly stunned, and then said: "No, I just heard that there is a murder here, so I came to investigate." ”
"Oh?" Rosen said with a smile, "Murder? Listen to whom? Has anyone reported the case to your company?"
Zhan Linwen understood what Luo Sen's idea was, and said in a condensed voice: "So what Luo Jiaoxi means is that there will be no murder here tonight?"
"Of course not!" Rosen shook his head in awe-inspiring manner: "Several of our colleagues are gathering at Captain Cao's house, and the people from your adjudication department have broken in for no reason, and I want to know what is going on!
Zhan Linwen fell silent again.
But this silence did not alleviate the oppressive atmosphere in the field, but made people's hearts sweat even more.
"If it turns out later that Zhan's news is wrong and he broke into the private house by mistake, Zhan will naturally give your army an explanation!"
After speaking, Zhan Linwen waved his hand, and the long knife suddenly let out a piercing low sound.
"Zheng!"
Seeing that the battle between the two armies was about to break out, at this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the gate of Caofu.
"Zhan Sicheng's move is a bit too domineering!"
As soon as these words were spoken, an apricot-yellow glow immediately fell from the sky, sprinkled on Zhan Linwen's right arm, and pressed down the blade that had not yet been unsheathed by three points.
Zhan Lin Wen snorted, his face was as white as paper, and a trace of blood broke out at the tiger's mouth in his right palm.
He turned his head abruptly and saw Lin Qianjun in armor walking slowly towards him.
Zhan Linwen's hand holding the knife tightened a little, and three words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Lin Dutong?"
Lin Qianjun waved his hand: "Let's all go back, and when it is dawn, let you command the envoy to lead the people." ”
Seeing Lin Qianjun appear, Zhan Linwen knew that there was nothing to do, he glanced at Rosen deeply, didn't say anything more, and didn't even bother to say half a cruel word, so he took heavy steps and disappeared into the night.
On the other side, Lin Qianjun looked at Rosen with admiration and praised: "Your response is very good. ”
Rosen clenched his fists: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
Lin Qianjun nodded, and then said, "What is the specific situation now?"
While taking Lin Qianjun back to the scene of the crime, Rosen told his findings and speculations, without any intention of hiding secrets.
Lin Qianjun entered the house and looked at Cao Qing's completely cold corpse, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
He stepped over to Cao Qing's side, squatted down, and stretched out two fingers along Cao Qing's lips to his abdomen.
Rosen saw it clearly, Lin Qianjun directly crossed a wisp of aura from his fingertips into Cao Qing's body.
After a while, Lin Qianjun stood up again, nodded and said, "Your guess is right, he took the Transformation Spirit Powder before he died, this poison is colorless and tasteless, and it is very valuable, and it can contain the aura of a Qi Realm powerhouse in a short period of time, so there is no sign of resistance." ”
Rosen lifted the tea table that had fallen to the ground, pointed to the water stains on it, and said: "I asked the housekeeper before, and confirmed that Chief Cao Qi had asked someone to come here before his death, and there should be two teacups and a teapot on it, but now these things have been taken away by the murderer." ”
"What do you want to say?" The appreciation in Lin Qianjun's eyes seemed to be a little stronger.
Rosen took a deep breath and said, "The murderer should be familiar with Captain Cao Qi, before he was killed, Captain Cao was even defenseless against the murderer. ”
"Well......" Lin Qianjun was noncommittal about this conclusion.
Then I heard Rosen continue: "My subordinates have already asked someone to take Lu Duwei to Yihuafang for temporary refuge, if you ......"
Hearing this, Lin Qianjun's eyes couldn't help but have a glimmer of essence, and then he suddenly asked, "I heard that you solved the previous case of the flower thief?"
Lawson nodded without hesitation: "Exactly." ”
Lin Qianjun pondered for a moment, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally said in a deep voice: "I want to know the result before the adjudication department, and within three days, all the resources in the army will be allowed to be used by you, and the people in the government will wait for you to verify!"
When the words fell, Pan Shi next to him almost stared out his eyes.
And Lawson bowed slightly, and said lightly: "Obey." ”
