This sentence immediately woke up Zhao Gan and the other soldiers and horses, they quickly turned back, and ordered their subordinates to immediately gather the people from the yamen to see if there was any missing.

During this period, Lu Zhen and the others had pulled out the steel knife nailed to the throat of the corpse, but after all, there was no further discovery, the knife was just an ordinary fast knife, which could be made casually in the blacksmith shop, and there was no mark left to trace.

However, Lu Zhen looked at the bloody murder weapon for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "Do you think this murder case is also a little strange?" ”

"What do you mean?" Yao Gan, who had just heard the news and rushed back from around the Terracotta Division, looked at him and asked.

"Why did the murderer leave this knife, or why did he choose such a difficult method of killing?" Lu Zhen expressed his doubts: "Judging from the situation reflected at the scene, the murderer can enter the hall and stab the deceased to death, so why do you want to do this?" And he left the murder weapon here, which is completely a bit of a trick. ”

Tang Lianshen nodded approvingly: "Yes, according to the thoughts of ordinary murderers, they should think of taking away the murder weapon after they succeed, so it will naturally be more difficult to trace." And judging from the current situation, the other party definitely has time to do this, and there is no need to take such risks. ”

"You can take it away but leave the knife at the scene, what is the murderer's carelessness? Or does it have a deeper purpose? Lu Zhen lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then he smiled and said, "If you connect with the two murders that happened before, the latter is much more likely." ”

The first was an abrupt spontaneous combustion, and the second was a deliberate accident scene...... Thinking about these two cases carefully, Lu Zhen always had some strange feelings, as if this was a scene deliberately arranged by the murderer, as if it was to complete a certain ritual.

Rite...... Thinking of these two words, his heart suddenly jumped: "But what kind of connection exists between these three?" For a while, he couldn't think of a clue, so it seemed that he could only put it aside, because Zhao Qian had already found out that in addition to the people who had been ordered to patrol the streets earlier, there was indeed a military attache named Chen Shi missing for no reason.

After getting this news, Lu Zhen hurriedly went over to inquire carefully, and then Zhao Gan's face became more and more ugly. Needless to say, Chen Shi's unexplained disappearance means, as long as he thinks about what responsibility he will bear for this matter, he is full of uneasiness.

Lu Jin didn't have the heart to appease him, he just looked at the group of soldiers and horses with worried faces and waited, "Which of you has seen Chen Shi after noon?" Or did you see him leave the yamen? ”

Under his rather majestic gaze, everyone hesitated at first, and finally a famous official stepped forward: "Your Excellency...... The little one had seen Lord Chen leave the yamen in a hurry before those Jinyi Guards came for more than an hour, that is, before those Jinyi Guards came......"

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Gan's face sank even more: "Since you know about this, why didn't you report it to this official in the morning?" ”

"Small...... The little one didn't know if Master Chen was ordered to go out, so he didn't think about it. ”

Faced with such an answer, Zhao Qian naturally didn't want to ask anything, so he could only snort a little unhappily. It was Lu Jin, although his face was not good-looking, but he was still calm, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "By the way, what kind of errand does this Chen Shi do on weekdays, and how is his martial arts?" ”

"He is a patrol team, and his martial arts are not bad, in terms of fighting alone, there are few people in our Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division who are his opponents." Zhao Gan replied, his face became more and more ugly, because he had already understood the purpose of Lu Jin's question-the possibility of Chen Shi, who was skilled in martial arts, killing witnesses was even higher.

Lu Jin's expression tightened: "Is he also patrolling the streets?" Was he present at the burning case that happened on the night of the third day of the new year? ”

Zhao Gan only recalled it slightly, then nodded and said, "He was in the team that day......"

"When he came back, his face was still a little ugly, as if he was frightened......" A military attache next to him also added. This made Lu Jin breathe a long sigh of relief: "The relevant points of several cases are finally connected, and it is on this military attache named Chen Shi. He is an important suspect in the case of the third fire in the first year, and he is an important suspect in the killing of witnesses here, if I am not mistaken, he is inseparable from the Xujia Mipu case. As long as he is caught, the doubts in several cases can naturally be solved one by one! ”

"My subordinates understand!" Yao Gan immediately understood, ordered a few subordinates and hurriedly rushed out. Although he has no ability to judge the case and investigate, he is still very confident in arresting and searching.

It wasn't until these brocade guards left that the people of the Terracotta Division were in the direction of a dream, and after Zhao Gan nodded, hundreds of messengers rushed out in a hurry. It seems that the city of Beijing today will not be at peace again.

It was only then that Zhao Qian looked at Lu Zhen with some flattery: "Lord Lu, look at this case......

The latter immediately understood what he meant, and said comfortingly: "As long as you take Chen Shi and ask from him who instructed him to do this series of cases, and prove that it has nothing to do with the Soldiers and Horses, my Jinyiwei will naturally not embarrass you." ”

"Thank you for taking care of you, my soldiers and horses will do our best to cooperate with Jinyiwei to solve these murders and arrest the murderers." Zhao Qian, who had been assured, relaxed a little in his heart, and hurriedly said. He knew very well that this was the only chance to clear his suspicion, otherwise it would be a lot of suspicion and trouble for just one person to die in the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses.

Lu Zhen nodded, and then he asked people to bring the body of the deceased and go out of the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses. When he came outside, Zhao Jie stepped forward and asked, "Governor, where are we going next?" Is it to go back to the town of Fusi? ”

"What's next......" Lu Zhen looked up at the sky and found that it was almost dusk, and the sun was setting in the west, so he said: "Now go to Yingchengbo's mansion, after all, this person's identity still needs to be confirmed with them." He was referring naturally to the dead man on the door panel.

Fortunately, the Yingcheng Uncle's Mansion is also in the southern city, so it was also by the way, and after only walking for half an hour, everyone had stopped in front of the mansion that looked a little shabby, but hung with a plaque from the Earl's Palace.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing is really full of powerful people, and there are as many high-ranking officials as dogs. Especially since the founding of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, after many changes, many people have been knighted, so the earl is not so valuable here, and life is naturally a little bitter.

This Yingcheng Bosun family is one of the representatives, although the contemporary Yingcheng Bosun Yingxu also has the title of commander in the army, but it is just a fictitious position to lead the Lu, only relying on the original reward of the field house plus his little money is obviously not enough for the family's expenses, so this originally magnificent mansion looks dilapidated at this time.

all

Without Lu Jin's signal, someone stepped forward and knocked on the knocker, and after a while, the door opened, and a house slave who answered the door came out. After seeing so many brocade guards standing in front of the door, this man was so frightened that his body almost fell to the ground, and he asked tremblingly for a while: "Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing here?" "Now perhaps only these broken officials in the court will be afraid of Jinyiwei.

At Lu Jin's signal, Zhao Jie stepped forward to negotiate with him. Naturally, it was impossible for that man to be in charge, so he hurriedly went in again to make a report, and after a while, a steward of the earl's palace came out, claiming to be Sun Ying.

After listening to Zhao Jie's story, Sun Ying looked nervous for a while, and then shook his head again and again: "We don't dare to have anything to do with such a bold thief, and we are even more cautious as subordinates, how dare we go to the front of the Soldiers and Horses Division to mess around?" ”

"Then come and recognize it, and see if you know this person." Zhao Jie was also impatient to listen to his explanation, so he only pulled someone to the corpse and asked him to identify it.

That Sun Ying came to the deceased with some anxiety, only glanced at it, his face turned white, and he shook his head in a hurry: "The villain doesn't recognize him, and he has no contact with our Sun family......"

"Really?" Lu Zhen had already dismounted at this time and walked over, stared at the other party's eyes and said, "You only glanced at this corpse, and you didn't even look at the appearance too carefully, so you said it so sure?" ”

"I ...... The villain's ......" was debunked by someone, which made Sun Ying panic again, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to meet Lu Jin.

Lu Zhen sneered: "Ordinary people identify corpses, unless they are extremely familiar, they always have to look at it for a while to determine whether they recognize it or not." I'm afraid there's only one reason why you're so weak-that's that you actually know this person? Yes and no? "The last four words came out with a bit of a strong voice.

Sun Ying was already weak in his heart, and was so frightened by Lu Jin, his body suddenly weakened, and he knelt down directly: "Lord forgiveness, in fact, the little one knows him, he was indeed a person from our Earl's Palace, called Sun Fang, but half a year ago, he was kicked out of the house by his uncle because of some things......"

"Sure enough, otherwise the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division would not have been bluffed by him." Lu Zhen nodded: "You said that he was expelled from the Sun family half a year ago, but is it true?" ”

"It's true, the little ones don't dare to lie to you anymore."

"Then Uncle Sun can be in the house? The official wanted to say a few words to him. ”

"My uncle is not in the capital, he said that he went out to seek Taoism......

"Huh?" Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then relieved. An idle nobleman like Sun Yingxu would indeed be interested in such a thing as seeking immortals and seeking the Tao without other pursuits, and it was reasonable to leave the capital.

Just as he was about to ask the other party some more questions, he saw a brocade-clothed guard rushing over on horseback, and when he came closer, he immediately dismounted and reported: "Dudu, I have found the whereabouts of that Chen Shi!" But the others are dead! ”

"What?" Lu Jin's face changed again when he heard this, and the people around him also shook, and everyone stayed there for a short time......
