Chapter 414: Investigators
Luoyang City is very large and has a large population, and in such a huge city, it is basically the same difficulty to find a needle in a haystack to find someone like Wu Ming, who is good at hiding. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking for a needle in a haystack is a test of perseverance and time, which is probably the same nature as Yugong moving mountains.
The defensive formation of Luoyang City is very powerful, but its consumption is also very powerful, and the strong consumption requires the support of wealth, so Zhao Gui can't afford it, because in the eyes of many people, a character like Li Mingsheng is not so valuable.
In the blink of an eye, Luoyang has been closed for a day, Zhao Gui is under pressure from all sides, just in the evening, when Zhao Gui was about to order the lifting of the large array of defenses, the people of the city defense yamen found Li Mingsheng's body, when Zhao Gui saw that the so-called remains, in fact, there was only a pile of minced meat, he felt a little inexplicable fear.
Killing people is not enough, such a cruel method made Zhao Gui goosebumps all over his body, and a thick sense of uneasiness occupied his heart.
Li Mingsheng is under his hands, but he has done a lot of things for him Zhao Gui, a person who has done a lot of evil, is actually more afraid of death than anyone else.
From Li Mingsheng's death, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it must be caused by deep hatred, and Zhao Gui couldn't be sure whether such a deep hatred had anything to do with him, so he was determined to try his best to find out such a terrible enemy.
So Zhao Gui withstood the pressure from all parties and decided to continue the lockdown, and the murderer must be found.
For such a thing as finding the murderer, the city defense yamen and the right imperial guard seem to be a little professional and inappropriate, and it is natural to do things with half the effort.
So Zhao Gui found Zheng Shanguo, the secretary of Dali Temple, as Zheng Shanguo's old friend, Zhao Gui knew what kind of ability this little-known old friend had.
Zhao Gui quickly came to Dali Temple, as Zheng Shanguo, who was the secretary of Dali Temple, was a little surprised by Zhao Gui's arrival, due to the corruption of the law, over the years, Dali Temple has basically existed in name only, and those homicide cases have basically not been dealt with through Dali Temple.
As soon as Zhao Gui saw Zheng Shanguo, he immediately said what he meant, and Zheng Shanguo asked puzzledly: "Lord Zhao, what happened in Luoyang over the years, which one is not a matter of the rivers and lakes? Maybe the murderer is just a person from the rivers and lakes."
During this time, the right imperial guard was facing the people in the Kyoto area, and the blow was spared, and even if someone retaliated now, wouldn't it be a normal thing?
Regarding Zheng Shanguo's sarcasm, Zhao Gui did not show annoyance, but said with a faint smile: "Brother, don't make fun of me, I'm not doing things for the saint, how can I restore the prosperity of the Kyoto area in a short time without thundering means." ”
Zheng Shanguo showed a dissatisfied look and said, "Then you can't kill everyone with one rod!"
Zhao Gui's tone was still calm, and he said: "In troubled times, now not only is the war in the south deadlocked, but the foreign races in the north have also shown their fangs, and the Central Plains region is full of bandits, such a situation, if the Kyoto area is chaotic again, it will undoubtedly be an even worse thing for the saint and the dynasty!
Zheng Shanguo sighed and said: "It's okay, the first emperor has the grace of reinvention for me, I have an old bone, I can't do anything else, help catch the murderer, that's okay." ”
Zhao Gui was overjoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand and said, "Brother, please leave it to you." ”
Zheng Shanguo didn't say anything more, he asked Zhao Gui to wait for a while, he returned to the backyard, returned to his room, opened the wooden box full of dust, and took out a set of leather armor made of animal skins from it.
Zheng Shanguo said to himself with deep feelings: "I can't imagine that there will be a time to wear this suit again." ”
Changing into leather armor, Zheng Shanguo picked up the iron whip placed next to the leather armor in the box, tied the iron whip around his waist, walked out of the room, and returned to the front of the lobby.
Zhao Gui showed surprise in his eyes and said, "My brother's demeanor has not diminished back then!"
Zheng Shanguo smiled when he heard this, and said: "Zheng Shanguo, the secret guard who fought with the emperor in all directions, has already left with the emperor. ”
Of course, Zhao Gui knew Zheng Shanguo's grievances against Yang Guang, he laughed dryly, changed the topic, and said, "Brother, let's go to the case and take a look." ”
Zheng Shanguo didn't say anything more, and followed Zhao Gui and them to the dilapidated courtyard where Li Mingsheng was buried.
Seeing Li Mingsheng's death, the corners of Zheng Shanguo's eyes jumped, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he knew why Zhao Gui came to him.
He didn't speak, and began to look around, not only the pile of minced meat, but everything around, and after a while, pieces of minced meat that had been splashed into the nearby barren grass were found, and Zheng Shanguo returned to the pile of meat, silent, like a frozen iceman, motionless.
After a long while, Zhao An approached Zhao Gui's ear and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with that adult?"
Zhao Gui shook his head and motioned to Zhao An not to speak, so as not to disturb Zheng Shanguo's thoughts.
The wind continued to drift gently, and the wind carried the smell of blood, and many of the accompanying soldiers already felt uncomfortable, after all, looking at a pile of minced meat for a long time, but still human flesh, in this situation, as long as it is a normal person, it will definitely feel sick to its stomach.
Zheng Shanguo kept staring, and after another quarter of an hour, finally Zhao Gui couldn't hold it back, he stepped forward and asked, "Brother, do you have a clue?"
Zheng Shan said in Chinese: "It's too ruthless!"
It's too ruthless? Looking at it for so long, he came up with such a sentence, facing a pile of minced meat, as long as it is not a negative IQ, it can be seen that the fierce beast is ruthless, Zhao Gui listened to Zheng Shanguo's words, and suddenly had the urge to beat him in his heart.
Zheng Shanguo didn't seem to notice that Zhao Gui's face was different, and he said with a serious look: "Captain Li was already tortured before he made it into minced meat. ”
Saying that, he squatted down, took out a small piece of white bone from the minced meat, and said, "This should be a small fragment of a leg bone, from here I can conclude that before he died, Captain Li had already been delayed by him!"
The faces of the people present changed suddenly, and they all showed resentment, Zhao Gui directly clenched his fists and said: "Brother, you must help me find out this bastard, no one will be at ease in the city with such a person!"
Zheng Shanguo stood up and said, "What this person has done is too hurtful, Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will do my best, but before that I have to ask my old buddy for help." ”
Zhao Gui's face was full of joy, he knew who the old guy in Zheng Shanguo's mouth was, and he said in the arch of his hand: "Thank you, brother! Without further ado, I am also under great pressure to close the city." ”
