Chapter 91, the missing man at the city gate (ask for recommendation, ask for collection!) )
"May I ask my lord, where was the first place where Tan Zhen landed after entering Jixi County?" Shen Mu thought for a moment and asked.
Just as a bird flies through the sky and leaves suspicious traces, a person passing by somewhere, even if he goes to heaven and earth, will always leave some traces.
This person's food, clothing, housing, transportation, illness and accidents, including household garbage, can find useful information from it.
In this regard, he was particularly touched by the fact that he was a wanted criminal in his previous life, and every time he went to a place, he not only often changed his appearance and temperament, but also destroyed as much as possible what he had used, so as to avoid leaving any traces of physical evidence that could be traced by the police.
For a while, he even enjoyed this game of mouse and peek-a-boo, and when he saw that the police in various countries found nothing, his already twisted heart also got some psychological satisfaction until ......
It's just that, they all said don't think about everything that happened in the previous life, how can you remember it again.
This is probably because the act of killing people in itself may not be too tormenting, and even as soon as you close your eyes, you will start it, but the shadowy memories that you can't get rid of after killing people can often drive people crazy.
Many fugitives did not flee when they fled, or they were completely relieved when they were found by the police, feeling that everything was finally over and everything was finally freed.
Who made most criminals become criminals, but still retain their humanity?
Sometimes it is not the crime itself that the law deterresends, but the evil side of human nature.
"You kid asks where Tan really landed? Pity...... No. ”
"Oh?" Shen Mu had a question, since he couldn't confirm Tan Zhen's whereabouts, why did he chase him to Jixi County?
"I have been tracking the person of Tan Zhen that day, and after chasing him to the city gate, he happened to meet a team of relatives, and the crowd of people who were picked up rushed so much, and after he entered the city gate, he lost the trace of Tan Zhen."
"The pick-up team? Such a coincidence? ”
"It's a bit of a coincidence, but Han Lin has sent someone to check last night, it is a real kissing team, and nothing suspicious has been found. This family business has been set for a long time, and almost everyone in Jixi County knows about it.
Therefore, at that time, there were a lot of people watching the excitement inside the city gate, all looking at the groom and bride's sedan chair riding on horses, and some people kept throwing happy money on the road, so that the onlookers were robbing for a while, and the scene was chaotic, and no one noticed whether there was a person like Tan Zhen who happened to enter the city. ”
Liang Baihu understood what he was suspicious...... It is suspected that the kissing team was specially arranged by Tan Zhen's accomplices to cover Tan Zhen's whereabouts in the city. Continue to explain.
"My lord, if this welcoming procession is as checked by the people below us, it is purely a coincidence, not specially arranged, so that Tan Zhen can avoid the eyes of our Jinyi Wei spies, it seems that the clue is broken here, but in fact, it is not, at least we can still see other things from this."
"Oh? Something else? Liang Baihu stopped the chopsticks in his hand with interest.
"That's right, we only entered Jixi County last night, we don't know if there are other happy events in Jixi County these days?
But what if the thief monk really happened to take advantage of this happy event?
This shows that it is very likely that there is an accomplice of the thief monk Tan Zhen in this Jixi County, and this accomplice arrived in Jixi County earlier, or he was originally from Jixi County, he already knew that there happened to be a well-known marriage in the city that day, and then deduced the approximate time, so that Tan Zhen could enter the city at this point in time. ”
After a pause, Shen Mu continued: "Don't forget, my lord, in the case of Han Zongqi's death, from the beginning, the other party has been in the dark, and we are in the light, we have been tracking the other party's whereabouts, and the other party is not paying attention to our every move, as long as there is a smart person in the other party's team, we can completely preset the direction of our next investigation."
In this way, in order to prevent us from tracking down, the thief monk Tan Zhen and his accomplices will definitely be more cautious and careful to keep an eye on their whereabouts and prevent us from finding traces.
Now the first thing we have to determine is whether the thief monk really entered Jixi County, not shook at the gate of the city to interfere with our Jinyi Guard's line of sight. ”
The spies also took this into account, and at the same time, they also sent out other people to search the roads around Jixi County, including whether they encountered suspicious characters like Tan Zhen in the B&B around the county seat, but they did not find the slightest.
The only possibility left is that Tan Zhen really entered Jixi County. ”
"If this is the case, then our Jinyiwei will focus the search on Jixi City, places like inns and restaurants are the first to be investigated, first draw out a certain range, and then investigate in pieces, shrink layer by layer, and always find some traces, the kid thinks he can't escape so lucky every time."
"Well, just do what your kid said, it seems that this hundred households really didn't see the wrong person, and we really need a talent like you kid in Jinyiwei." Liang Baihu took another bite of food at this time, and said with a smile after chewing.
"The adult has won the award, in fact, the kid knows very well what he can think of, the adult has already thought of it, but the adult asked, the kid felt that the adult must be testing the kid's ability, in order to win more appreciation from the adult, the kid had to play a big axe in front of Luban! Don't laugh at me, sir. Shen Mu said with a shy expression that might belong to a young man.
"You kid, it's really a bit slippery, has your father already told you, I and he are also old acquaintances, you kid in my eyes, no different from my own children and nephews, you can be so honest, not false and wronged, I feel very gratified.
We are Jinyiwei, not those civil officials, we don't need so many fancy intestines, although you have not officially joined the company now, but if you participate in such a big case about Maitreya, it is a qualification, and if you enter the post in the future, you will not be looked down upon by those old brothers in the hundred households.
You young people often have an arrogance, always want to make achievements with your own skills, and don't like to let people know that you entered with a certain relationship, so Uncle Liang has never pointed out the relationship between you and me in front of Han Lin, Meng Yun, Xiao Qi, etc., in order to let them not look at you as a newcomer with prejudice.
And you obviously performed much better than Uncle Liang expected, and some things don't even need me to mention, you can think of the Tao, and you are not inferior to those old men in Jinyiwei at all.
Now, I'm sure your father can leave you in my care. ”
