The Zhenfu Division is a secret organization specially established by the imperial court in order to deal with cases related to national affairs, which integrates martial arts masters, secret agents, fast catchers and killers. Located on the southeastern edge of the capital, half of it is hidden by jungle. Tie Lihua walked briskly along the stone path from the martial arts arena, and her face was already flushed when she arrived here. Her hair and suit were stained with grass from training in the Field.

Look at the woman, she is charming and a little spicy and strong, although she is not very beautiful, but she is also very moving. The courtyard outside was empty, and the grass clippings on her body had not had time to be cleared, and the inspector of the yard was now going to gather all the catchers, including her new headcatcher.

She found that the four senior brothers in the hall had arrived, and the inspector made Wei Yong stand in front of the table, staring at the file in his hand without saying a word. It was the first time she had a chance to take a good look at him. Inspector Wei Yong, in the Suppression Division, is a legendary figure who has solved countless cases like his father. She also wants to be like that.

On weekdays, Wei Yong looks like a high-spirited middle-aged scholar. When he encounters a case, it is always a breeze. Now, he was pale and haggard. The way she saw him made her uneasy.

Wei Yong suddenly put down the file in his hand and looked directly at the people in front of him, and now he didn't know how to face these apprentices and subordinates in front of him. Three days have passed since the "Golden Envoy Split Body Case" that took place in the capital. But they didn't find any clues.

The foreign Dajin Kingdom was originally to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne and came to the capital to pay tribute. But somehow, overnight, all the Jin envoys were assassinated, and their limbs were placed in the corners of the room by means of "car splitting", which was extremely cruel. This kind of case happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you can imagine how angry the new emperor was. Therefore, he ordered the Zhenfu Division to solve the case within ten days.

"What do you think about the case that happened three days ago?" Wei Yong said.

"Master, there are no clues in this case so far, but the cruel method of killing people and dismembering bodies is very similar to the old case six years ago." The answer was a burly man, he was Wei Yong's eldest disciple Li Zhu, and he had been promoted to head catcher for some years.

"Yes, but after the case was closed that year, the Zhenfu Division went out of the water at night, and all the files were burned. Even the iron catcher who went to the archives to investigate... At this time, the catcher who accosted him seemed to think of something, and quickly kept silent.

Hearing the talk of "the case of the year", the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became still. Everyone in the hall hurriedly looked back at their junior sister. Tie Lihua heard about her father and the senior brothers who looked back. There was no fluctuation in his eyes.

At this time, Wei Yong glared at Zhu Zhao, the second disciple who was speechless, and glanced at the unaffected Tie Pear Flower. continued to say to everyone: "Although the relevant files have been burned back then, the young man at the scene of the crime is still detained in the dungeon of Dali Temple. ”

"Master, I would like to go to the dungeon and ask the prisoner about the situation back then." Tie Lihua looked at Wei Yong steadily, and said very calmly.

Wei Yong felt a pang of joy in his chest, and at the same time a little scared. The good thing is that Tie Lihua, as the only daughter of Tie Zhutou, has the opportunity to ask some things about the year. was worried about the danger of the prisoner, but because of the boy's resistance to arrest, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he injured many good people in the government.

"My lord, I would like to go with Senior Sister Tie." Wei Yong glanced at him, and it was a cold young man who spoke. It is Yan Chong, the only disciple of his friend Iron God Catch.

"In that case, Rika you will go to the dungeon with Yan Chong tomorrow to interrogate. Candle and Zhao'er continue to inquire about the news related to the case. In addition, the scene of the crime was handed over to Chen Ao. ”

"Yes" Now that the five have been given their respective tasks, they have not wasted time. Turn around and leave the hall, and go their separate errands.

After the five of them left, Wei Yong walked to the bookshelf, staring at the pile of books in front of him, not knowing what to think.

There are more than a dozen houses in the backyard of the Zhenfu Division, which are specially used for the Zhenfu Division to live in. There is a moon arch to the west of the courtyard, which is a small courtyard specially set aside by the headcatchers in order to take care of Tie Lihua, the only female errand. Outside the house at this time, it was Tie Lihua and Yan Chong, who were going to go to the dungeon tomorrow to interrogate.

"Senior Sister Tie, haven't you let go of the things that happened to your master back then?"

"Senior Brother Yan, how can I let it go, when my father promised to come back to accompany me on my fourteenth birthday after finishing an errand, how could my father, who was supposed to be guarding the prisoners in the dungeon, appear in the Archives Pavilion. And the fire was surprisingly weird. Isn't that the same way for my brother? Tie Lihua said with a sad face.

"All in all, the case is very deep. I will find out what happened back then, junior sister, you don't want to be involved. The master taught me a skill back then, and I will never forget it in my life. Originally, the master didn't want you to be a quick catcher, thinking that this shouldn't be a woman's errand. ”

"Man's destiny is not predetermined, nor is it laid down in advance. This is my own choice, I will find out what happened back then, senior brother, you have taken care of you all these years. With that, he turned and went back to his room.

The next day, the dungeon of Dali Temple.

"Now I want you to listen to me with all your attention, iron catcher, strict catcher, are you listening?" The cell boss asked very seriously.

"We're listening, you should have been told the order from above that we're going to see him today, right?" Tie Lihua said coldly.

"Be very careful about Hai Wuxian. Do not put your hand over the fence, do not touch the fence. Don't tell him anything about the outside world, not even about yourself, don't talk to him at all. You don't know what he did to the last cell boss! ”

"We know that the previous cell boss was a gambler and owed a lot of foreign debts. Did you end up committing suicide on an errand? Yan Chong said with an indifferent face.

"That's just a statement from the outside, the old king is a filial one. How can an old mother be addicted to gambling at home? It's all because this old king didn't listen to the orders from above and talked to Nahai Wuxian. After listening to the cell leader's admonition, Tie Lihua was stunned, and she couldn't help but be a little curious about Hai Wuxian in her heart.

"Understood."

They passed through two more corridors, where the sun did not shine, and the cries of the tortured prisoners were no longer audible by the candles on the walls. The corridor is about sixty meters long, and on both sides are the cells of the cells, both of which are special cells. Tie Lihua's purpose was Hai Wuxian, and she ignored the noise of the cell, so she went straight to the last room of the cell.

Hai Wuxian's cell is far away from other cells, and it is different, there are actually two fences on the front, and there are empty cells on the opposite side and next door. Tie Lihua knew that the footsteps just now had already told him that someone was coming.

Hai Wuxian was lying on the ground with his back to the fence at this time, his hands and feet were shackled, and there seemed to be writing and painting on the wall. Because the prison is dark and not very well lit, it is not very obvious. Tie Lihua and Yan Chong stopped not far from the fence.

"Hai Wuxian."

He opened his eyes and changed his position, as if that would make him more comfortable.

At this moment, she felt in vain that he was clean, clean and not like a prisoner who had been imprisoned for six years.

"I want to talk to you about the case back then," she said in a cold tone.

"It's two people this time, what are you talking about? It's been a long time since I've heard from outside! ”

"We're here to know about the dismemberment of the body six years ago." Yan Chong said directly.

Hai Wuxian looked at the man talking in front of him seriously, thought for a moment, and then got up leisurely and calmly walked to the fence, until the chains on the wall did not allow him to take a step.

"By 'we' the Pacification Division? Are you the guards? ”

At this time, Tie Lihua and Yan Chong did not speak, because the other party did not answer their own questions.

"I want to hear the news from outside, since the death of the guy surnamed Tie three years ago, no one has talked to me." Seeing that the two had no intention of talking, Hai Wuxian seemed to have nothing to say.

Hearing about the "surname Tie" Tie Lihua and Yan Chong couldn't help but be stunned, Yan Chong hid his expression very well, but Tie Lihua couldn't control his expression, after all, he was just the new head catcher, and he was not as scheming as other head catchers.

Hai Wuxian was originally chatting casually, but after seeing Tie Lihua's expression, he seemed to have discovered something interesting.

"Little girl, your surname is Tie? What is it called? Do you want to know why your dad died? ”

"Enough!" Yan Chong saw that Tie Lihua seemed to want to answer, and hurriedly interrupted Hai Wuxian's question.

"You just have to answer our questions" Tie Lihua also reacted at this time, she couldn't let the other party lead her nose, otherwise she wouldn't be able to ask anything.

"Ah, I think about it, the case from six years ago, you still have to ask, what? Has the case been recreated? He asked Tie Lihua with a smile on his face.

"We don't want to go around in circles with you, what the hell is going on with the dismemberment case?"

"I don't know much."

"In the case back then, both witnesses and undocumented people pointed out that you were a participant in the case. Now you can't tell, do you think we believe it? Tie Lihua said impatiently.

"Ahh There is such a thing, so how similar is the case now to that year? ”

"As in the case back then, after the person was killed, the murderer placed different parts of the human body in the four corners of the south, east, and west. And the ornaments in the house are concentrated in the middle of the house, and a candle that has been burned is left in the middle. According to the testimony of the innkeeper, the candle flame was lit in the room at the end of the day, reflecting a burly figure. When invited by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they found that the mission had been killed. The house is also anti-locked from the inside. Yan Chong told Hai Wuxian the truth about the case.

"Well, it's not enough to kill people and dismember, but it's enough to burn candles."

"What do you mean that the shopkeeper may not see the murderer, the murderer and the two people who lit the candle?" Tie Lihua was very excited, and the entire Zhenfu Division was looking for the murderer described by the shopkeeper, and did not consider the other suspects

。 Hai Wuxian's words undoubtedly played a very important role in giving Tie Lihua, but Tie Lihua also had questions about the case thirteen years ago.

"Now that we've got what we want to know, we need to reply to you immediately!" Yan Chong didn't plan to stay here anymore and waste time, and Tie Lihua could only suppress the doubts in her heart when she heard this, and turned around and left with Yan Chong.

After the people of the Pacification Division left, a person walked out of a shadow far away from Hai Wuxian's cell in the dungeon, and this person was all luxurious, not like a prison servant. He walked slowly to the entrance of Hai Wuxian's cell and said to the people in the cell, "You have already met the Iron Family Girl, can you tell me what the plan of the 'puzzle' is, right?" Hai Wuxian didn't turn around and turned his back to him. He stepped back from the fence until the chains on the wall were no longer dangling. The man continued, "It's been six years, and you're still silent?" ”

Hai Wuxian didn't seem to hear anything, and slowly squatted down, changing into a comfortable position, leaning his back against the wall.
