Di Renjie took Li Rong to visit Luoyang Ling Wei Yuanzhong first.

This time Di Renjie was able to get the opportunity to solve the case, which was the result of Wei Yuanzhong's recommendation, and Di Renjie wanted to thank him.

Di Renjie stayed in Beijing at this time, and was recommended by the imperial history to return to Beijing to rearrange his position. A good position has always been more monks and less porridge, and the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. Although Di Renjie doesn't care about the quality of his position, he can hold a higher position, and he can make greater contributions to the people and the court, and being able to enter the cabinet is an official's lifelong dream, and he is no exception.

If you can take this opportunity to solve the murder case, you will definitely be favored by the Queen Mother Wu Zetian, and the position will naturally be within reach.

Two officials from Luozhou followed behind, these two officials had been on errands in the palace for nearly 20 years and were familiar with the streets and alleys of Luoyang, so they were pulled by Di Renjie to be guides.

Although Di Renjie has lived in Luoyang for several years, he is not as familiar with the geography as these officials who go from house to house.

Half an hour later, Di Renjie, Li Rong and others came from the Luoyang Mansion to the Henan County Government.

"The lowly Henan County Ling Cui Xuan has seen Master Di Gongdi!" Cui Xuantong said when he saw Di Renjie who came to investigate the case.

Di Renjie's name obviously left a deep impression on Cui Xuantong, and Cui Xuantong has always been respectful and responsive to Di Renjie. After all, this old guy who looks fat and cute in front of him and has a kind face, in private, has the reputation of "his heart is like the ground, and his hands are like the king of Hades", and he doesn't know how many Jiangyang thieves he ordered to kill, including the private army in the hands of those big families.

"Cui Xianzun, you call the person in charge of investigating this case from the previous time, and I will personally ask them about the situation of the case." Di Renjie said.

"This case has been in charge of the county lieutenant Qiu Zhonghe, and the thief Hou Liu Zhi is in charge, so I will call them here." Cui Xuantong said.

At this time, a servant hurriedly ran over to ask Cui Xuantong about the conscription of apprentices.

The construction of the Ming Hall requires tens of thousands of people, and the people near the Shendu can only be recruited nearby, and the food, drink, and Lazar of these workers are all responsible for the Luozhou Prefecture, as the county commander under Luoyang, Cui Xuantong's pressure is not small, and things are even more complicated.

"Cui Xianzun has something to do, go and get busy first, I will ask the county lieutenant and others directly, you don't have to worry about me." Di Renjie looked at it and said.

Let Di Gong smile, Henan County is responsible for the logistics of thousands of apprentices, and the affairs are a bit complicated. I have ordered all the officials in the county to wait for Di Gong's orders, and the lowly post will go down first. Cui Xuantong bowed his hand and turned to leave.

After a while, Qiu Zhonghe, the county lieutenant, and Liu Zhi, the thief, ran over and respectfully saluted Di Renjie.

"Qiu Zhonghe, the lowly lieutenant of Henan County, Liu Zhi, who caught the thief, has seen Master Di!" Qiu Zhonghe and Liu Zhi said in unison.

"Are you from the Luoyang Qiu family?" Di Renjie suddenly asked Qiu Zhonghe.

"The humble position is just the Qiu family's distant branch," Qiu Zhonghe said with a happy face, although it is a distant branch, Qiu Zhonghe is still proud of the Qiu family, not the Qiu family behind the scenes, he can't get the beautiful position of Henan County Lieutenant.

The Qiu family has moved to Luoyang for nearly 200 years since the Wei Dynasty, and the Qiu family has been an official for generations, which can be described as a family of generals. Since the beginning of Wei Zhendong General Qiu Shou, his son Qiu and the title of Tan Guogong, the official to the general of Zuo Wuhou, the son of eight people to the three products, of which Qiu Xinggong was named the prince of Tianshui County, the general of the right Wuhou, the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren for the imperial court generals, quite rare.

The Qiu family has been deeply involved in Luoyang for nearly 200 years, and its power in Luoyang is deep-rooted, and it has been valued by all parties.

"It seems that you are the head snake of Luoyang," Di Renjie said with a smile.

Henan County is one of the two counties under the jurisdiction of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and is usually called Qi County, and its county commander and the position of county lieutenant are quite sought-after, and Qiu Zhonghe's ability to serve as a county lieutenant shows that he is also a highly valued figure in the Qiu family.

"There, the lowly position is just familiarity with Luoyang." Qiu Zhonghe said, with a little more awe of Di Renjie in his heart.

"Alright, tell me about the details of the case you have." Di Renjie said.

"Yes, sir." Qiu Zhong and Bi respectfully informed Di Renjie of the information they had about the case, including the family situation of the two deceased.

Di Renjie's inquiry was quite detailed, from the time and place where the body was found, to the family situation of the deceased, and so on.

Qiu Zhonghe replied very hard, sometimes he needed to recall with Liu Zhi, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely for a while.

However, Qiu Zhonghe is worthy of being able to sit in the seat of Henan County Lieutenant, speak clearly, be familiar with the customs of Luoyang, think carefully, and is indeed a good hand.

"Take me to see the body of the deceased, and let me go too." Di Renjie said after asking the two.

"Yes, sir." Qiu Zhonghe, Liu Zhi replied.

Yizhuang in Henan County is some distance away from the county government, and some nameless corpses that are not buried will be placed in Yizhuang first.

Although it was spring, the temperature was slowly rising, and the corpses were decomposing to a deep degree, and a special stench could be smelled from afar.

The county government's servant trotted all the way to Di Renjie and the others, bowed and saluted.

"This is Song Cheng's work in the county," Qiu Zhonghe introduced.

"Well, Song Yanzuo, let's take a look at the corpse!" Di Renjie said.

Several people walked into Yizhuang under the leadership of Song Yanzuo, the hall where the corpses were stored.

"Yes, sir. Ten days had passed since the first corpse, and it was so rotten that it was impossible to see its shape, and the second corpse had begun to decompose. The surnamed Song said.

As he spoke, he walked among the many corpses and reached out to pull down the sackcloth that covered it, revealing a decomposing female corpse.

Even Di Renjie, who was used to seeing corpses, frowned. The corpse had been stitched together, and the mutilated pieces of the corpse had become a complete corpse, but it was particularly rotten, exuding a pungent stench, and the once delicate skin had become jet black, and its appearance was no longer what it used to be.

Li Rong followed behind, looking at the corpse, also frowning slightly. It's not that he hasn't seen bloody people, but every time he sees a corpse, he still doesn't like it. Life is always precious, and dying for no reason is a sadness.

The corpse was so decomposed that nothing could be seen, and the wounds on the deceased were already decomposed.

Di Renjie looked at it a little and shook his head, "Look at the second corpse!" ”

He obediently led the people to the second corpse and lifted the shroud.

The deceased had been dead for a short time, the body had not yet decomposed, and the skin of the deceased could be clearly seen.

It seems that the level of work is good, the corpse is stitched well, and it is almost impossible to see the appearance of the mutilation.

The deceased was in good shape, with a beautiful face and a plump body, but unfortunately he is now a dead body.

What is amazing is that the chest of the deceased is covered with dense scars, and the traces are as thin as silk threads. The blood had drained from the wound, and the scars had formed.

"The deceased was only twenty-eight years old, from a large family, his body was cut into six sections, his head, body and limbs were thrown in different places, he should have suffered insults from the murderer before his death, and there were many wounds on his body, which are suspected to have been caused by the murderer." He whispered.

"Song Yanzuo, what caused the scars on the deceased's body?" Di Renjie looked at the corpse carefully, inspecting it inch by inch, with a solemn expression on his face.

"The subordinates can't see it, it seems to be caused by the sword," he muttered.

The injuries on the deceased's body were so small that it was difficult to see what kind of sharp weapon they were in.

"What else do you see?" Di Renjie asked.

"The murderer seems to be a man in the rivers and lakes, and he is quite skilled." He continued.

"What reason?" Di Renjie asked.

"The scars, these scars are very short apart, and they are arranged as neatly as a craftsman's ruler, and ordinary people can't do this at all." Said bravely.

"Yuan Ming, come and see!" Di Renjie turned his head to Li Rong and said.

"Yes, Di Gong." Li Rong replied, walked over to the corpse, and looked at the corpse carefully.

"If these scars are caused by sharp weapons, do you think the murderer is really a master of the rivers and lakes?" Di Renjie continued.

"It's very likely, and the cultivation is not low." Li Rong looked at it for a while and said.

The scars on the deceased's body are indeed caused by sharp weapons, and as he said, the spacing between the scars is like a ruler, this is not something that ordinary people can do, Li Rong thinks that he can barely do it, but he is already a six-grade master, and his control over his body and true qi has reached a considerable degree to be so.

"Song Yanzuo, what kind of sharp weapon caused the wound of the deceased? Knife or sword? Di Renjie asked.

"Forgive the villain for being incompetent, and I can't see what kind of weapon the wound is caused by." He replied in fear, as if he had expected Di Renjie to ask about this.

"Forget it, it's normal that you can't see it." Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "The identities of the two deceased have been verified, have you notified their families?" He then asked Qiu Zhonghe and Liu Zhi next to him.

"Their families have been informed of their humble duties." Qiu Zhonghe replied.

"Now go and send for two of the deceased's close maids, and the slaves and maids to the church, and I will inquire of them." Di Renjie instructed, "You two should go too." ”

"Yes, sir." Qiu Zhonghe and Liu Zhi, as well as two officials from Luoyang Mansion, were ordered to leave.

"Song Chengzuo, you should go back too!" Di Renjie said.

He bowed and turned away.

"The scars caused by the sword are almost the same, and they are almost indistinguishable!" Li Rong said.

"A knife is a knife, a sword is a sword, you are an expert in this area, you should know that a knife slash is different from a sword slash, and the wounds caused are not the same, but ordinary people can't see it." Di Renjie said.

"Can anyone tell the difference?" Li Rong asked.

"Someone can do it!" Di Renjie said, "No, we have to go and meet him." ”
