Chapter 823: One More Death

Fa Sui reminded Arogan: "I think Tong Lifa should be cautious, think carefully about whether anything has been left behind, and try not to leave clues on his head!" โ€

"Don't worry, Master, from beginning to end, I have been an assassin who has been contacted by my entourage, and I have never shown my face!"

Fa Sui was a little relieved, "That's good, if something is wrong, solve the entourage who came forward!" โ€

"The Guru is right!"

In fact, no one eats dry food, and Lei Dashan, the official in charge of this case in the Criminal Department, is not an ordinary person, he himself was born in the rivers and lakes, and he is still a big master, he has traveled south and north for many years, and he knows countless people in the rivers and lakes, and some of the catches under his hands also have their own stunts and ways.

After inspecting the scene, looking through the records of the arresters' inquiries to nearby residents and the examination of the corpses, there was a clear judgment that the murderer was locked on the assassin with strong knife skills, such a killing method, the mastery of the strength and speed of the knife can only be done by a strong assassin, and such a person is rare in the rivers and lakes.

But it's not easy to catch people, why? How many Assassins can easily reveal their identities? The Assassin who revealed his true identity would not be able to get away with it for long, and perhaps the assassin who assassinated the Thirsty Pantuo envoy would not be known at all.

In the squad room of the Criminal Department, Lei Dashan frowned and said: "I don't believe that an assassin with such superb sword skills will have no reputation, you look at the position of this knife, the shape and depth of the wound, this assassin is by no means the first time to kill someone, he must have left traces, as long as the person who has left traces, we have a chance to find out!" โ€

The dozen or so capable catchers under his command all began to meditate hard to see if they could find a case similar to this kind of knife trick from their previous experience.

After half a ring, a young scribe cowered and raised his hand.

Lei Dashan looked at him, frowned, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, and let it go if you have a fart!" โ€

"Boss Lei, it seems that my subordinates have seen a wound of this shape somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while!"

There was a catcher next to him who couldn't help but scold: "Then you still say a fart, what we want now is a clue!" โ€

Don't look at these people are just arresting fast, but they are not ordinary arrests, they are the arrests of the criminal department responsible for investigating major and important cases, especially cases involving murderers with high martial arts, they are all investigated by them, so each of them has an official rank, even if it is not as good as the county order below, it is also a level higher than the officials below the county order.

Lei Dashan said kindly: "Xiao Song, don't be nervous, think carefully about where you have seen it!" โ€

Song Ke closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes and ran outside, and it didn't take long for him to run back with a large stack of files and put them on the table, and he quickly flipped through them one by one.

After turning over a cup of tea, he suddenly stopped and shouted, "Found it, found it!" โ€

"What? Really? The captors were shocked, they didn't believe that the assassin had committed a crime at first, and they could find out in the file of the criminal department, and everyone gathered around.

"Boss Lei, everyone, you see, this is a file from twenty years ago, it should be a case left by the Wei State Criminal Department at that time, there are a total of six cases, and the means of committing the crime are exactly the same, they are all killed by cutting the throat with a knife, which is exactly the same as this case! From the first case, it can be seen that the murderer should have killed for the first time at that time, the technique was unfamiliar, and the knife technique had a sense of sluggishness, but from the second case it was completely different, he seemed to have overcome his heart by killing people in the first case, and since then the method has become more and more skillful! โ€

"In these six cases, the murderer killed a total of thirty-five people, and in each case, there was a main target who was killed, and the others were killed incidentally, and these six main targets all had one thing in common, they were all high-ranking officials! The other deceased were all retinues, subordinates, or something; Of course, these six cases also have one thing in common, all the deceased have only one wound on their bodies, that is, the throat, that is, this murderer has his own unique style of killing, each knife must take a life, and the wound is in the same part! โ€

A catcher touched his chin, "I said how come I can't think of such a person in the rivers and lakes, dare to love is a case twenty years ago, when we were only ten years old, the oldest is only fifteen or sixteen years old, I haven't seen anything in the world at all, I don't know anything!" โ€

Lei Dashan reprimanded these subordinates: "Look, this is the benefit of reading more, if it weren't for Xiao Song, we would still be blind now!" When you have nothing to do in the future, you will also turn over the previous files, there are still thousands of old cases in the file room, and it is still beneficial to turn over more cases! โ€

One of the catchers quickly said: "Boss Lei, even if we dig out the previous files, we can't find him, Chang'an now has five or six hundred thousand people, to say the least, there are five or six hundred thousand people, to find the murderer is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that maybe he has left Chang'an, where can we find him?" โ€

Another person said: "Boss Lei, our time is very tight, the Holy Mountain gave the Criminal Department a ten-day deadline to solve the case, but Lord Shangshu only gave us a seven-day period to solve the case, and only gave us a five-day deadline to solve the case when we arrived at Lord Shilang, and now two days have passed, if the case cannot be solved by the expiration date, I am afraid that it will ยทยทยทยทยทยท."

Lei Dashan's heart jumped, he knew the consequences of not being able to solve the case within the time limit, at least he would lose his official position and be dismissed, and at worst he would be assigned to the army, for the officials above, if the case could not be solved within the time limit, it would be the dereliction of duty of the subordinates, and the corpse would be vegetarian, and there would be sufficient reasons to ask for the guilt!

At this moment, a small catcher ran in and said loudly: "Boss Lei, there is another murder!" The same envoy who died this time seems to be some kind of bowl and envoy of the country! โ€

Lei Dashan suddenly got up, "Where is it?" โ€

"It's in the embassy area, in the house arranged by Honglu Temple for the envoys of the bowl and the country!"

Lei Dashan grabbed the waist knife on the table and walked out, "Leave two people on duty here, and the others will follow me!" โ€

The other catchers all have a bad premonition, the death of a thirsty Pan Tuo envoy has already made them anxious, and now it is another death, and the top must be thunder and anger, how can they explain to the above?

If the dead bowl and the state envoy died at the same time, the murderer's courage would inevitably be too great, you must know that the embassy area is heavily guarded, and there are special soldiers patrolling and standing guard in the area and outside day and night, otherwise it will not be difficult to alarm the sentry and patrol team to sneak in and kill people.

When Lei Dashan and the others arrived at the embassy area, the officials of Honglu Temple were already waiting there, and the mansion of the envoys of the bowl and the country was full of envoys and their entourage guards from various countries living here, everyone was here to watch the excitement, and two envoys died one after another, and these envoys were all up and down in their hearts, and there was a feeling of numbness in their scalps.

"Excuse me, let me go, the lower official is Wailang Lei Dashan, a member of the Criminal Department, who is responsible for investigating the murder of the envoy of the Thirsty Pantuo! I wonder who's in charge here? Lei Dashan led the catchers to separate the crowd and shouted.

Li Ji beckoned to Lei Dashan, Lei Dashan saw that it was Li Ji, and hurriedly walked over and bowed and hugged his fists to salute: "Xiaguan greets Li Gong!" โ€

"No need to be polite, now another one has died, this official doesn't know if this case is related to the murder of the envoy of the thirsty pantuo, but the deceased this time is also an envoy, so I sent someone to inform you to come and have a look!"

"Yes, the lower officials will immediately conduct an on-site investigation!"

Lei Dashan agreed, and immediately took people in to investigate the scene, sent someone to ask who reported the case, who found the deceased first, and asked the neighbors on the left and right if they heard any movements, etc., and recorded all this.

He spent two moments examining the corpse and roughly judged the cause and time of death, while Lei Dashan led people to look for possible clues in the house.

"Boss Lei!" He shouted.

Lei Dashan heard the voice and hurriedly walked over.

Li Ji and the officials of Honglu Temple could only wait outside, and the envoys of various countries and their entourage and guards gathered together to discuss.

After listening to his judgment, Lei Dashan immediately sent people to the gate of the embassy district to ask the guards and the soldiers in charge of patrolling last night to find clues for them, and also sent people to look for clues at the foot of the wall of the embassy area to see if there were any traces of people climbing over the wall to enter.

After more than an hour, the officials of Honglu Temple were waiting outside one by one, and then a middle-aged eunuch came over with two little eunuchs, followed by a few Yulin soldiers.

"Gong Li, someone is in the palace!" An official reminded Li Ji.

Li Ji looked at it, and hurriedly greeted him and gave it up: "Eunuch Wu, but Your Majesty has a will?" โ€

Eunuch Wu shook the dust and arched his hand in the direction of the palace: "Your Majesty, I heard that the envoys of the bowl and the country have suffered misfortunes, and the officials in charge of the case from the Honglu Temple Li Jihe and the criminal department have entered the palace to report the case!" โ€

"Obey the order!" Li Ji agreed, and quickly sent someone to call Lei Dashan over.

Lei Dashan quickly rushed over and hugged his fists; "I don't know what Gong Li ordered to call the lower officials?"

"Lei Tou, how is the on-site investigation?"

"The survey is almost complete, now wait for the brother who went to ask the guard and patrol who were on duty at the gate last night to return!"

Li Ji said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this case, and sent someone to pass on the edict and let this official go to the palace with you to face the saint and tell the case!" โ€

Lei Dashan didn't dare to slack off, hugged his fists and said: "I never thought that a member of the lower official would have the opportunity to face the saint!" Li Gong was a little later, and when the brother who went to inquire came back, the lower official immediately went with Li Gong after hearing the report! โ€

After a while, the two catchers returned with a scribe.

Lei Dashan asked, "How do you ask?" Is there a clue? โ€

One of them shook his head: "No strangers entered last night, and the entry and exit registers at the gate are all recorded by envoys of various countries or their entourage!" โ€

At this time, a catcher came over and reported: "Lei Tou, there is a clue, footprints have been found under the wall in the southeast corner!" โ€

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
