Thank you for your continued encouragement! ）

The horse rushed to the scene, and after the captain took the reins, Chen Xiaoting jumped off the horse and rushed to the courtyard, followed by Huang Dinghai.

This is a very common small courtyard, because it is in the capital, the courtyard is surrounded by brick walls, and there is only one way to enter the courtyard.

But after entering the courtyard, blood stains could be seen everywhere, and there were two corpses in the courtyard.

"My lord, this male corpse in the courtyard is a craftsman in the family, according to the investigation of the lowly office, this person was indeed a handful of widers a month ago!" He rushed over in advance after learning the news, but it was earlier than Chen Xiaoting, who came back from outside the city.

While speaking, Yan Congshan also pointed to another corpse in the courtyard, which was a female corpse.

"My lord, please see, this woman is the wife of this craftsman, and she also has a silver-inlaid hairpin on her head, according to the neighbor, this hairpin was bought by this craftsman a few days ago!"

A family that used to have a tight life suddenly had a silver hairpin at home, and it was not difficult to attract the attention of others.

Speaking of this, Yan Congshan continued: "Not only that, but the humble job also found twenty taels of silver in the cabinet in his bedroom!" ”

An ordinary craftsman, and a well-known craftsman, would never have had so much cash.

The last time a coin was minted was a month ago, so it is likely that it was at that time that this person quietly stole the mold and then got this "huge money".

It's a pity that there is no life, and it also involves the family to accompany the funeral.

But hearing this, Huang Dinghai, who had not spoken, had questions, and only heard him say: "So from the clues we know now, are there any traces left by the murderer?" ”

This is the main problem, and it is the only reason why Chen Xiaoting came here non-stop.

However, it had been more than ten minutes since Yan Congshan arrived at the scene, but he had not found the answer to this question.

"My lord, there are no clues for the time being, so I will continue to investigate strictly!"

With just this sentence, Chen Xiaoting's hope was destroyed again, and now he had a feeling of despair.

Huang Dinghai on the side also saw it, but he didn't know what to say at this time, because it was useless to say anything.

"Then continue to investigate, continue to interrogate, continue to search!" Chen Xiaoting said in a stern tone, this was the first time he had lost his temper in front of everyone.

The others hurried to do things, and Chen Xiaoting sat on a stool in the courtyard, and the whole person was on the verge of exploding.

Seeing this scene, Huang Dinghai also felt that it was depressing here, so he said goodbye to Chen Xiaoting and left.

Although he was very angry, Huang Dinghai was the one who helped after all, and Chen Xiaoting could only send him to the door.

Sitting back on the stool, the other lieutenants were still busy, while Chen Xiaoting began to think about a series of events in the past few days.

People are dead, how can you check down?

Even if the direction is right, the road ahead has been broken, and there is no possibility of going down.

Now that he has reached a critical period, repeatedly recalling all the information he has, Chen Xiaoting always feels that he has missed something.

"First of all, I found the mint...... Then I found the craftsmen from the mint, and then I found the craftsmen here......"

"The others died a few years ago, and the whole family was killed last night...... And I am the mint who checked the day before yesterday, and I only set the list of craftsmen yesterday morning! ”

Saying this, Chen Xiaoting's expression was suddenly shocked, and he immediately caught a key clue.

"I got the list yesterday morning, and this craftsman was wiped out last night, but the timing is so coincidental...... This shows that there are inner ghosts! ”

When he came to this conclusion, Chen Xiaoting was both shocked and afraid, he had never considered it in this direction.

"If it weren't for the ghosts, then how would those who minted counterfeit coins know the progress of his investigation, and how could they slaughter this family one step in advance?" Chen Xiaoting's thoughts turned faster.

"So who's the inner ghost?" Chen Xiaoting's gaze swept to the captains at the scene.

At that time, when the Mint roster was checked, the people assigned to him by the Thousand Households of the North City were involved, and these people had access to the list.

So...... Chen Xiaoting couldn't trust the group of people under him anymore.

So, if there is an inner ghost, how can you lure him out?

After another painstaking and lonely thought, Chen Xiaoting had a plan in his heart, and it was a plan that had been repeatedly polished.

"Yan Congshan!" Chen Xiaoting roared.

Others are not credible, but Yan Congshan and Chen Xiaoting still believe it, after all, he was the one who raised the Mint Division.

"What do you command?" Yan said after rushing over from the mountain.

Staring at his eyes, Chen Xiaoting lowered his voice and said, "Our people are ...... There are inner ghosts! ”

After saying this, Chen Xiaoting strictly paid attention to Yan Congshan's reaction, and the other party's expression slowly changed from shock to doubt, but there was no other reaction.

Now, in terms of logic and realistic reactions, Chen Xiaoting can initially believe that Yan Congshan is not an internal ghost.

"My lord, are there ghosts among our people? Who do you say is the inner ghost? Humble and skinned! Yan Congshan muttered, and at the same time lowered his own voice.

"Could it be you?" Chen Xiaoting asked coldly, this was his last temptation.

Yan Congshan was startled, and hurriedly saluted: "My lord, don't you dare to do such a rebellious thing!" ”

Yan Congshan's reaction was still normal, and Chen Xiaoting completely relieved him.

So he said, "Okay, let's get this ghost out!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Yan Congshan immediately asked.

Glancing at the corpse next to him, Chen Xiaoting said calmly: "You say, could the killer last night kill the wrong person?" ”

This had nothing to do with the ghost of Cha Nei, Yan Congshan had to show a puzzled expression, but he did not interject and chose to continue listening.

"Someone sent them a message that the heat came to kill people that night, and they immediately withdrew after killing them...... In such a hurry that he didn't even take the money! ”

"So, in this hurry, will they kill the wrong person?"

Yan Congshan still didn't understand this, so he asked, "What the adult said was killing the wrong person?" What does it mean, the one who was slain was the craftsman! ”

Chen Xiaoting smiled, and then said: "I confirmed that the person who was killed was a craftsman, who knows about the dozens of people under our command?" ”

"Only one of the lowly officials came on horseback, so ......"

"So only the two of us know, so as long as we limit the people in this courtyard, outsiders won't know the specific situation inside!" Chen Xiaoting answered.

"That Huang Deputy Thousand Households......"

"You don't think he's going to be an inner ghost!"

If that's the case, Chen Xiaoting won't have to play.

"So my lord, if you restrict the people in this courtyard, what should you do next to dig out the inner ghosts?" Yan Congshan was still confused.

Chen Xiaoting said: "Think about it, if you go back and tell the news that someone killed the wrong person...... What will the inner ghost do? ”

Yan Congshan replied without thinking about it: "He will definitely find a way to spread the news, and then send someone to continue to extinguish it!" ”

"But my lord, we have to have a plausible statement, otherwise it won't be enough to be believed!"

In fact, Chen Xiaoting had already thought about it, and only listened to him say slowly: "When I go back, I will say that this craftsman sold this house five days ago, and now he has moved out of the city, and the killer killed the new owner!" ”

"And the craftsman who moved away, because he lost the gambling money, has moved his family to Jidi Shouling!"

Now the story is complete, but then Yan Congshan has a new question, and only listens to him: "But my lord, if that's the case, then we should take action, and send someone to the imperial tomb to arrest people!" ”

"But in this way, there is no time for the inner ghost to react, and he still uses it to contact the killer if he is caught by us?"

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said slowly: "So I'm talking about the imperial tomb, it's almost dark...... The Imperial Tomb City is closed at night, we must first ask for instructions from above, and then we can catch it! ”

"Isn't there enough time for them to deliver the news this night?" Chen Xiaoting asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, the entire logical chain was closed, and Yan Congshan had no other problems.

At this time, I only heard Chen Xiaoting say to him: "The task of catching the inner ghost tonight will be handed over to you!" ”

"As long as you know who it is, if he wants to summon him, let him go, it's best to lure the killer over, and we can arrest people on both sides!"

If this is the case, there will be huge progress in the case, and maybe it can be solved directly.

But how to operate still needs to be deliberated repeatedly, such as how to limit the captains in the yard, and the specific location of the imaginary "living mouth".
