After listening to Zhao Jie's report, Lu Zhen also felt a headache: "In this way, Jiang Chong's killing should have nothing to do with himself?" He was only picked by thieves, and that's why he ......"

"Exactly, at least judging from the clues that have been inquired so far, this Jiang Chong is just an ordinary person, and it is impossible for him to have anything to do with the murderer who can kill people by such means. And he can't offend people on weekdays, let alone be harmed by such tragic means. ”

"Hmph, these thieves are really clever, so they don't want to give us any clues." After pondering for a while, Lu Zhen quickly raised his head again: "But things may not be traceless. ”

"Did the Governor think of a way?" Zhao Jie's spirit immediately perked up, and he hurriedly asked.

Lu Zhen nodded: "It seems that there is no way to find it from the deceased, so let's turn around and find clues from the murderer." ”

"This ......" Zhao Jie was stunned: "I don't even know where the murderer came from, how to find clues?" ”

"Huh...... Don't just stare at the identity of the murderer, you can change the angle and look at his modus operandi, don't you understand? ”

Zhao Jie suddenly came over: "Did the governor say that he started from this fire?" ”

"Yes, neither phosphosphor powder nor stone resin can be obtained by ordinary people, as long as the source of these things can be traced, the perpetrator will naturally have nothing to hide. I don't think that's a difficult thing for us to do, right? ”

Zhao Jie nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I will let people look around for people or shops related to these two things, and they can always find some clues." With that, he bowed his hand and hurriedly withdrew.

Lu Zhen smiled and watched him withdraw, and then his face became solemn again. This case seems to be not difficult to solve, but he always feels that things are far from being as simple as they appear on the surface. Since the other party dares to use such shocking means to commit a crime, he will naturally be wary of going to the government to investigate along this clue, but he doesn't know what their method of dealing with it is.

Jin Yiwei's work efficiency is indeed quite high, or it can be said that in the city of Beijing, there is nothing to hide from their ears and eyes, only one day, the relevant people were directly brought into the Zhenfu Division, it is the six workshop owners who manufacture and sell firecrackers and other things.

When these people were brought into the Zhenfu Division by the Jinyi Guard, they were all frightened, and they were about to kneel on the ground trembling. Especially after seeing Lu Jin, the big leader of the brocade guard, he knelt down and kowtowed directly, and kept begging for mercy: "My lord, spare my life...... The small one is just a businessman who has never done anything illegal and undisciplined, and I hope that the adults will investigate it clearly......"

Seeing this scene, Lu Jin's heart was also helpless, and Jinyiwei's reputation seemed to be not good. He could only say a few words of relief and let them each get up, and then said, "This official called you here today just to ask for some clues, you don't have to be too afraid. After seeing their expressions settle for a while, he added: "But I have something to say ahead, if you have something to hide in this matter, so that my Jinyiwei encounters resistance in handling the case, then don't blame me Jinyiwei for being ruthless!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare...... We must know everything. Several people hurriedly expressed their positions. The jokes have all been brought to the Zhenfu Division, who dares to hide it, isn't this looking for death?

Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then got to the point: "You should have heard about the strange case that happened in the capital the day before yesterday, right?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and just wanted to say that they didn't know anything, after all, this case was too weird, and they really didn't dare to have anything to do with it, but after seeing Lu Jin's flashing eyes, several people quickly came back to their senses, and quickly nodded and said, "The little one has indeed heard of it, isn't that a ghost killing people?" ”

Lu Zhen sneered: "Do you think that the ghosts and gods will kill a guy in an ordinary shop for no reason?" And again with such appalling means. ”

A few people said that this was not for sure, and who knew what those ghosts and gods were thinking. But in front of Lu Jin, they couldn't say that, so they could only say yes, say that the adults were wise, and wait for his further explanation.

Lu Jin didn't disappoint them, but said: "My Jinyiwei has already found out that this case has nothing to do with ghosts and gods, but is man-made. That's why I came to you today! ”

Hearing this, several people became more and more nervous: "My lord, we are all businessmen who do our duty, how dare we ...... How can you kill people by such means? ”

"Whether you are involved in this case or not is not up to you, it depends on your performance. Let me ask you, in the past few months, have you sold a lot of phosphorus powder in your shop, or firecrackers containing phosphorus powder? You can't hide it, you also know my Jinyiwei's methods, as long as you hide it, you will definitely be able to find out, and then you won't ask like that. Lu Zhen asked with a solemn face.

"This ......" The merchants looked at each other a few times, then lowered their heads in thought. Obviously, they are recalling whether there is any related business, after all, this time span is a bit large, and they have no account books at hand, so they can only rely purely on memory.

Fortunately, the point mentioned by Lu Jin is very special, so it is not difficult to recall, and after a while, several people shook their heads: "Although it is close to the New Year's Festival, the artillery business is far from good, and we can barely maintain it, and there is no big deal at all." As for phosphorus powder, it is useless on weekdays, and naturally no one will buy it. ”

"Really?" Lu Zhen said, staring at everyone with a pair of eyes, he was worried that these people would lie directly because they were afraid of being implicated. Although several businessmen were stared at by him, they still shook their heads resolutely: "It's really not, this phosphorus powder is not used much in artillery and other things, we have recorded the accounts when we enter, if you don't believe it, you can go and compare." ”

As soon as they said this, Lu Zhen nodded in agreement. It's just that in this way, the case was broken again, which made him frown: "What about the stone grease?" Do any of you know where this is now used in the capital? Can you use this in your store? ”

Five of the merchants all looked at him blankly, obviously they hadn't even heard of the stone grease, only one of them obviously hesitated after hearing Lu Jin's question. Lu Zhen also quickly aimed his eyes at him: "Boss Zhu, just say what you have to say, don't try to hide it in front of this official." ”

"Yes, yes...... The little one does know that there is a flammable thing called stone grease, which is much more violent than fire oil. It's just that this thing is not used at all in artillery battles. After struggling for a while, Boss Zhu said, "There is only one small one."

A month ago, I saw this thing from a friend, and he said that this stone grease came from the Western Regions and could be sold to dignitaries in the capital......"

"What's your friend's name? Are you still in Beijing? Lu Jin's spirits suddenly perked up, and he hurriedly asked. Compared with phosphor powder, stone resin is obviously a more difficult thing to get his hands on, so as soon as he heard that someone had actually transported this thing into the capital, Lu Zhen felt that this was a clue.

"His name is Xu Tongzhou, and he is also a businessman, and his home is ...... south of Beijing" Seeing Lu Jin's eager look, Boss Zhu became even more nervous, and hurriedly told everything he knew. Although he has some friendship with Boss Xu, he is involved in a major homicide case and has a connection with Jinyiwei, so naturally he doesn't dare to hide it for him.

Lu Zhen nodded, and then looked at the other people: "Do you have any relevant clues to provide to this official?" ”

Several people shook their heads blankly, and at this time, Boss Zhu suddenly let out a low voice, which made Lu Jin's heart move, and looked at him again: "What?" Do you remember anything again? ”

"Positive...... Precisely. Boss Zhu glanced at Lu Zhen cautiously, and then said: "Little one remembers, just half a year ago, Boss Xu asked me how to get a large amount of phosphorus powder, but the little one had some selfish intentions, hoping that he could come to my store to buy goods, so I didn't tell him." ”

"And that matter?" Lu Jin's brows furrowed even tighter, and he faintly felt that this businessman named Xu Tongzhou should be the key person he was looking for. If there is only one thing in hand, it may be considered a coincidence, but now, phosphor powder and stone resin, two things that are rarely used by ordinary people, have a connection with this person, and he may even master them all, then this person's suspicion has become extremely great.

"Someone!" Lu Zhen immediately shouted outside.

The door that had been closed suddenly opened, and several brocade guards had quickly swarmed in, startling the merchants again. Lu Zhen didn't care about their thoughts at this time, and immediately ordered Zhao Jie: "You bring more brothers, let this boss Zhu lead the way, go to the south of the city, and bring me a businessman named Xu Tongzhou." In addition, there may still be stone grease and other things hidden in his home, which were also recovered. ”

"Yes!" As soon as he heard the name of Shi Zhi, Zhao Jie quickly understood, hurriedly surrendered his order, ordered one hundred and ten capable subordinates outside, and quickly escorted Boss Zhu with a panicked face and left the Zhenfu Division.

Seeing this movement, several businessmen were even more uneasy, and after hesitating for a while, they looked at Lu Jin: "My lord, I have already told everything I know, I don't know ......" said, his face was full of pleading and eagerness, obviously hoping that Lu Jin could put himself back.

But this time, Lu Zhen failed to let them get their wish, but said warmly: "This case is very important, although you are not involved in it, but for the sake of safety, this official cannot let you go." Come, please go to the backyard to rest for a while, and when this case is closed, the official will send you away. ”

Hearing this, the panic on the faces of several merchants was even worse, but at the request of several brocade guards who came later, they could only obey their orders and obediently follow them away.

It's just that neither Lu Zhen nor the few brocade guards who escorted them to the back noticed it, and a slight smug glint flashed in the eyes of one of them......
