Chapter XVIII Investigation
As soon as Han Xin and Zhao Yun left the palace, they rushed directly to the street where Zhang Tao was assassinated.
As soon as the two of them came to this street, they found that there were many onlookers watching the excitement here, and the circle inside had been blocked by the people of the Yamen.
Zhao Yun wanted to go directly to the scene of the crime to see the situation, but was stopped by Han Xin, and Zhao Yun stared at Han Xin with a question mark on his head.
So Han Xin explained: "We will inquire about the information on the periphery now, and we will go in and check it out when there are fewer people." ”
Hearing Han Xin's explanation, Zhao Yun remembered that His Majesty asked him to conduct two secret investigations, so Zhao Yun didn't insist on going directly to investigate the scene.
After the two of them made a plan, they went their separate ways and plunged into the crowd to ask the surrounding onlookers.
The two inquired in great detail, and wrote down the events of the incident and the speculations of the onlookers.
Of course, these people have different words, and they are gossiping. After Han Xin and Zhao Yun asked around, they both felt a little dizzy.
After the two of them rested for a while, feeling that their heads were not so dizzy, the two of them told each other the information they had obtained.
After the former finished speaking, the latter made some additions, and the two of them summarized all the information, left the information they thought was useful, and reported it to His Majesty when they returned to the palace.
After a circle, there were indeed a lot fewer onlookers, and after Han Xin and Zhao Yun summarized the information they had collected, there were only three or three melon-eating people left on the periphery.
The two looked at the time, and planned not to wait, walked outside the blockade circle by the officials, took out the waist card given to them by Luo Tianyu, and then entered the blockade circle.
After entering the scene, the two found that the sedan chair ordered by Zhang Tao was still there, but his body was no longer there, only a pool of dark red blood remained in front of the sedan chair, and his body should have been taken away by the yamen.
The two inquired about the officials, and sure enough, Zhang Tao's body had been recovered to the morgue of the yamen after the autopsy.
And according to what the officials said, it was not much different from the information that the two of them had heard on the periphery.
There is also a family of four people who were killed by the killer long before Zhang Tao was assassinated.
The family's body was also taken back to the morgue in the yamen along with Zhang Tao's body after an autopsy.
The two went into the people's house to check for a while, and found no special clues, so the two left the scene, intending to go to the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion to see the body.
When they arrived at the yamen, Luo Tianxian's waist card was flashed, and the officials took the two to the morgue, where there were ten beds for parking corpses. At this point, five bodies had been placed on it, and the other five beds were empty.
learned from the mouth of the official that the five corpses on the bed at this time were all victims in this 'door-ordered assassination case', including Zhang Tao, who ordered the door, and there were also members of the family of four.
Han Xin and Zhao Yun looked at each other, the two old men were a man and a woman, according to the officials, the male was the corpse of Zhang Tao, the female was the old lady of the family, and the young man and the woman, who should be the son and daughter-in-law of the old lady, and the last corpse was a little boy who was less than ten years old.
"Brute!"
When Zhao Yun saw the child's corpse, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice, expressing his anger at the murderer for not letting go of such a big child.
When Han Xin saw Zhao Yun's appearance, he felt that Zhao Yun was a little too virgin. But thinking about Zhao Yun's experience, Han Xin was also relieved.
After calming Zhao Yun's mood, Han Xin carefully observed the characteristics of the five corpses and recorded them one by one in detail.
The two of them had been in the morgue of the Chang'an County Ya for more than an hour before they came out, and after coming out, the two went to the door to order Zhang Tao's mansion.
When they came to Zhang Tao's mansion, the two saw that there were white silk hanging up and down Zhang's mansion, and the people in the mansion were wearing linen and filial piety.
I heard that it was the people in the palace who came to investigate the murder of the master, so I invited Han Xin and Zhao Yun into the mansion.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in linen and filial piety walked out, and he introduced himself with a sad expression: "Zhang Qing, the inspector of the lower official household department, the eldest son of Zhang Tao. ”
Hearing that he turned out to be Zhang Tao's eldest son, Han Xin and Zhao Yun also saluted him, and then Han Xin said: "The two of us were sent by His Majesty to investigate the assassination of the old man. ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern!"
As soon as I heard that Han Xin and Zhao Yun were sent by His Majesty, I didn't know if Zhang Qing was sincerely grateful or pretentious.
"Lord Zhang, mourn!"
Seeing Zhang Qing like this, Han Xin also said casually.
"I wonder if the two angels can find out anything?"
After the politeness, Zhang Qing asked directly.
Hearing Zhang Qing ask this directly, Han Xin couldn't help frowning.
Seeing the unhappiness on Han Xin's face, Zhang Qingcai realized that he had made a big mistake, so he hurriedly saluted Han Xin, and then said, "Angel forgiveness!" Xiaguan also lost his father's grief and forgot his sense of proportion. ”
Han Xin didn't want to say anything more when he saw Zhang Qing like this, so he also said: "It's excusable, we can understand Lord Zhang's mood." ”
After some conversation, Han Xin and Zhao Yun got to the point and asked the Zhang family about the recent situation of the order.
Han Xin and Zhao Yun asked in great detail, from Zhang Qing to the subordinates of Zhang's Mansion, they all asked a question, except for Mrs. Zhang Tao, who was in a coma because of the sad transition, the entire Zhangfu was finished.
When Han Xin and Zhao Yun came out of Zhang's mansion, it was almost dark. So the two of them hurried towards the palace one after another, and just as the palace gate was about to close, the two finally arrived.
Yu Linwei, who was guarding the door, originally followed the rules and did not let Han Xin and Zhao Yun enter the palace, but Han Xin and Zhao Yun had the waist card given by His Majesty, so after asking Shangguan, Yu Linwei put Han Xin and Zhao Yun in.
After the two entered the palace, they rushed directly to Weiyang Palace and reported to Luo Tianyu all the circumstances they had investigated that day.
Luo Tian patiently listened to Han Xin and Zhao Yun's investigation, and Luo Tian understood after listening. Zhao Yun, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, is running errands with Han Xin, and Han Xin is mainly investigating.
Luo Tian put Han Xin and Zhao Yun's investigation in his mind, and found that the results of his two investigations were nothing substantial, all superficial things, which had no effect on finding the murderer and the involvement behind it.
Luo Tian thought about it for a while, and there was no better way, so he asked Han Xin and Zhao Yun to step back and go back to eat.
Han Xin was a little hesitant when he left, but Luo Tian saw it, so he asked, "Senior brother, is there anything you want to say?" ”
