The wall is very clean, and it seems that neither the Criminal Department nor the people of Dali Temple thought that the murderer would climb over such a high wall.

Tang Ning didn't expect that the more this case was investigated, the more unusual it became.

Judging from the clues currently available, more than ninety percent of this is a deliberate murder, and all kinds of clues show that Tang Jing's death was not so accidental.

He put the paper away, looked up at the wall, and said, "Go around and have a look." ”

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, obviously there is only one wall, Tang Ning, Xiao Jue and others went around, and it took at least two quarters of an hour to go around.

Beyond the wall is not another street, but a wasteland, where no one should come on a normal day, and there are not even footprints on the ground.

Tang Ning looked behind him, ordered a few people in Dali Temple to wait in place, and asked Xiao Jue and Lao Zheng to wait, and walked carefully under the wall by himself, squatting down to take a closer look.

The ground outside the wall was not soft, but there was still a line of footprints clearly visible, and combined with the handprints on the wall, the identity of this person was self-evident.

Those guys in the Criminal Department have never been here to see it from beginning to end, and they characterized this case as an intention to make money from the beginning, but fortunately he is no longer in the Criminal Department, and he is not their boss, otherwise he would have to be angry with them.

Xiao Jue stood in the distance, and finally couldn't help it, walked along the footprints of Tang Ning, and asked, "What's wrong, do you see something?" ”

Tang Ning pointed to the first pair of footprints and asked, "Do you see anything?" ”

Xiao Jue looked at the pair of deep footprints, then looked up at the wall, and said, "Obviously, this was left by the murderer when he jumped off the wall." ”

Downing asked, "What else?" ”

Xiao Jue was surprised: "What else?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Each pair of these footprints is one deep and one shallow. ”

"It seems to be really ......" Xiao Jue thought for a while and said, "I understand, this shows that the murderer has a long leg and a short leg......"

Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue, his IQ is there, and he can find the right direction of the problem many times, but he is always a little short of the truth......

Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "What, isn't my guess wrong?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Almost." ”

Although there are differences between the two legs of the person, it is not big, and it is impossible for the high and low legs to cause the footprints to have such an obvious difference in depth, and this line of footprints can show that the person's legs and feet are quite inconvenient, and the possibility of lameness is great.

At this point, the image of the person who killed Tang Jing was already very clear in Tang Ning's eyes.

He may have been in the army for a long time, good at using knives, lame, and most importantly, he has a deep hatred with the Tang family, and this hatred prompted him to cut off the incense of the Tang family's lineage, so that Tang Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was directly killed.

The footprints stretched far away, disappearing at the end, and those were the only clues they could find.

Fortunately, this place is remote, and no one passes by on weekdays, otherwise it would not be easy to find this.

After Tang Ning rubbed the footprints, he got up and prepared to leave.

Xiao Jue stood up, patted the dust on his robe, and said, "This place is not far from the Marquis Wulie's Mansion, let's go see Brother Han." ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Okay." ”

This is the third time Tang Ning has come to the Wulie Marquis Mansion, and he has come here three times, and each time it is a completely different scene.

The first time was to send Han Chong back to the house, the second time was to come here to mourn, and the third time when he came again, the door of the Han Mansion was empty, Tang Ning and Xiao Jue pushed the door in, not only did they not see a porter, but they didn't even see a subordinate.

After passing through a door, I finally saw a figure.

Wu Liehou was sweeping the courtyard with a broom in his hand, when he heard the sound of the door, raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, "You are here." ”

Xiao Jue stepped forward, looked left and right, and asked, "Brother Han, where are the servants in the family?" ”

"I let them all disperse." Wu Liehou waved his hand and said, "I'm the only one left in the family, what kind of servant ......do you want?"

Xiao Jue took the broom from his hand and said, "Then you can't have one left, you have to leave two to clean and cook, your legs and feet are inconvenient......"

Wu Liehou smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me, a cripple, a cripple can also do a lot of things." ”

He looked at Tang Ning and Xiao Jue and asked, "You sit down for a while, and I'll pour you tea." ”

"No need." Xiao Jue hurriedly said: "We are just passing by here, come in and have a look, you don't have to be busy." ”

"That's not good, the guests are here, and they don't even have a cup of hot tea, how can this work." Wu Liehou waved his hand, took the teacup, poured two cups of tea for them, sat opposite them, looked at them and said: "The young generation in Beijing, the most promising, are the two of you, however, Mu Xiu Yulin, you should also be more careful, this pool of water in Jingshi is deeper than you imagined, muddy, and dirty......"

Wu Liehou seemed to be sighing, Xiao Jue smiled and said: "Brother Han, don't worry, we are also very good at muddying the waters......"

Marquis Wu Lie suddenly looked at Tang Ning and asked, "I heard that Your Majesty handed over the case of the eldest prince of the Tang family to you?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "This case is not very simple. ”

Wu Liehou asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I found a little clue, but it didn't make much use." ”

"It's time to check." Wu Liehou nodded and muttered, "It was the eldest son of the Tang family who died, and it was no one else, so it should be investigated......

Although Wu Liehou has not yet come out of the pain of losing his son, his spirit seems to be much better than a few days ago.

Tang Ning and Xiao Jue sat in the Han Mansion for a while, then got up to say goodbye.

Wu Liehou sent them to the door, Xiao Jue turned around and waved his hand, and said, "Brother Han, you go back." ”

Wu Liehou nodded, turned around, and limped out.

Xiao Jue stood at the door of the Han Mansion and muttered: "The Tang family still has a background, when Han Chong died, there was no such big movement in Beijing......

"Don't sigh, let's go." Tang Ning looked at him, shook his head and said a word, and was about to leave, when he just took a step, but suddenly paused.

He turned around, and when he turned to look at the Marquis Wulie's Mansion again, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing." Tang Ning shook his head, turned back to the officials of Dali Temple, and said, "Go to Dali Temple!" ”

Xiao Jue watched him leave quickly, shook his head inexplicably, and walked in the direction of Xiao Mansion, after walking a few steps, his footsteps gradually slowed down, and finally stopped, slowly turned around, and looked at the Marquis of Wulie's Mansion, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

……

While Emperor Chen handed over Tang Jing's case to him, he also gave him a lot of power, and he could transfer all the files of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple at will.

Tang Ning walked to the place where the file was stored, looked behind him, and said, "You guys go out first, I'll just look for it alone." ”

The case files in Dali Temple were sorted by time, piling up an entire room, Han Chong's case happened half a month ago, and Tang Ning easily found all the files of the case.

It took him a quarter of an hour to go through all the files.

Although all the details of this case are reasonable, if it is in a small place like the local county government, the case can be closed like this, but this is Dali Temple, and several key details should never be revealed so lightly.

He detached himself from the information in his mind, and when he walked out of Dali Temple, he saw a figure standing outside waiting for him.

He walked over and asked, "Why haven't you gone back yet?" ”

Xiao Jue looked at him and said solemnly: "Did you also think of something?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and nodded slightly.

Xiao Jue asked, "Why?" ”

Downing said: "Go to a place with me, and if I guess correctly, the answer is there." ”

Xiao Jue asked, "What place?" ”

"Liujia Village, the home of the guard in the Han Mansion."
