"Apricot, why are you here?" Lu Jitong frowned slightly, looking at the figure in surprise.

"Come with me, get out of here!" The figure grabbed Lu Jitong's arm and whispered.

"This is not the place for you, get out of here!" Lu Jitong said sternly in his voice.

Kang Xu listened to the conversation between the two, he didn't expect that the figure to be a woman.

"Lu Jitong, you still say that you are not a murderer? I didn't expect you to have a helper, this time it's just a catch, see how you still quibble! Tao Jizhu was furious, and shouted at him.

Kang Xu was not as angry as Tao Zhenzhu, he stared at the masked woman with a frown, and said in a low voice: "Dongying people! ”

Although his words were soft, Lu Jitong and the woman really listened to them, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Lu Jitong glanced at Kang Xu in surprise, he was about to speak, but was suddenly grabbed by the woman next to him, threw a few smoke bombs down, and then left.

"Chase! Go after it! ”

Tao Jizhu waved his sleeves, prepared the smoke in front of him, and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, those officials hurriedly rushed out of the yamen and chased after Tao Jizhu.

Kang Xu sat in the warm pavilion, his face extremely solemn.

Lu Jitong and the Dongying woman are both people with superb martial arts, and it is difficult for these servants to catch up, let alone arrest them.

However, this also illustrates a problem, even if Lu Jitong is not the murderer, he is inextricably linked to this case.

Kang Xu propped his chin with one hand and tapped the case with the other, falling into deep thought.

The complexity of the case was far greater than he had imagined. The murderer is plausible, and the mystery is a little deep. It's like falling into a fog, and it's confusing.

About half an hour later. Tao Jizhu angrily took a group of officials and returned to the yamen.

"Did you catch them?" Kang Xu asked.

Tao Jizhu hung his head and said dejectedly: "We have searched most of Zhengyang City, but we have not found any trace of Lu Jitong. Since these two people fled from the county government, it seems that they have disappeared out of thin air. ”

After a pause, he looked at Kang Xu and wondered, "Your Excellency doesn't seem to be in a hurry about this matter?" ”

"What's there to be anxious about? If the official can catch him once, he will naturally be able to catch him a second time. Kang Xu said with confidence.

Tao Jizhu sighed angrily and said, "Damn, I didn't expect Lu Jitong to be such a beast!" I'm really blind. I will become a close friend with him! My lord, you must catch this person, I will kill him with my own hands and avenge my little sister! ”

"You and Lu Ji are close friends, how is he?" Kang Xu asked.

"I can say that Lu Jitong and I have known each other since childhood, and he had a really good reputation in the past. If this hadn't happened, I would never have dreamed that he would be a beast with a beast's heart! Tao Jizhu scolded hatefully.

Kang Xu nodded, and he fell into deep thought.

That's when it happened. Xiao Wu hurriedly ran in.

"My lord, it's not good, the evidence is gone!"

Kang Xu stood up abruptly, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Wu panted and said, "When we rushed to Hetou Village. The room where Liu Tie lived suddenly burst into flames, and the entire house was burned to ashes! ”

"How so?" Kang Xu raised his eyebrows, and immediately noticed that something was wrong. He said in a deep voice: "As soon as I found out that Liu Tie had hidden evidence, this evidence was destroyed. This must have been a deliberate arson. Little Five, have you found anyone who set fires? ”

Xiao Wu also nodded heavily: "I think so too." What happened at this time was too much of a coincidence. When we arrived, the fire had already been ignited, and the arsonist had not been identified. ”

"Where is Changfeng now?" Kang Xu's brows furrowed.

"There was a pile of hay near the house where Liu Tie lived, and the fire ignited all the hay, and the fire spread to the whole village, and Chang Feng was leading the villagers to put it out."

"Are there any casualties?"

"No villagers have been injured yet, and when I came, Brother Chang had already suppressed the fire, and I think the fire should have been completely extinguished by now. It's just that the evidence is gone. Xiao Wu sighed.

"It doesn't matter, as long as there are no casualties, the evidence can be found again." Kang Xu patted Xiao Wu's shoulder and comforted.

"How can Lu Jitong be convicted without evidence? Hey, what about Lu Ji's fandom? Xiao Wu glanced at Tao Jizhu, who was full of depression, and asked in surprise.

Kang Xu told him what had happened, and Xiao Wu groaned after listening to it: "So, Lu Jitong still has an accomplice?" ”

"In addition, there is another thing, recently we have investigated the Dongying people to no avail, but today there are clues, the person who came to rescue Lu Jitong is the Dongying woman." Kang Xu said in a deep voice.

"Dongying people?" Xiao Wu was surprised, and he suddenly said: "In this way, as long as this person is caught, the adult will be saved?" ”

Kang Xu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You quickly let Chang Feng come back, go all out to search the whole city, and be sure to find out where the Dongying people are hiding." ”

Xiao Wu nodded yes, he thought about it, and said, "Lu Jitong fled, what should be done in this case?" ”

"This case is confusing and by no means as simple as it seems, I will continue to investigate, and your task now is to find out the whereabouts of these Dongying people as soon as possible." Kang Xu put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Wu didn't have any doubts, he nodded, then left the county office, and hurried to Hetou Village.

Tao Zhenzhu was confused by the conversation between the two, and he was puzzled: "My lord, since it has been determined that the murderer is Lu Jitong, why don't you issue a wanted notice and arrest him?" ”

Kang Xu glanced at him and said deeply: "There are still many doubts in this case, and after I find out the truth, it will not be too late to release the sea fishing documents." ”

"Suspicious? Aren't you already sure he's the murderer? What doubts have not been clarified? Tao Zhenzhu didn't know much about this case, and he said with resentment on his face.

Kang Xu didn't speak, his brows tightened and he fell into deep thought.

There are more and more suspicious points in this case, which also makes Kang Xu doubt his previous judgment.

"It seems that if you want to find out the truth, you need to start from scratch." Kang Xu squinted his eyes, went through everything in his heart, and gradually determined the direction of the investigation.

In the guest room of a wine shop in the city, Lu Jitong stared at the person in front of him with an ugly face, and said unhappily: "Apricot, who let you trespass into the yamen?" ”

In front of him stood a woman, this woman with peach cheeks and apricot eyes, delicate as a flower, standing there quietly like an independent lotus flower.

Seeing this, the little guy next to him hurriedly said: "Childe, don't blame Miss Apricot, I told her that you were arrested." ”

Lu Jitong's eyes lit up, and he interrupted the little guy in a cold voice, and shouted: "And you, have you forgotten all the things I said on weekdays?" The gentleman is frank, the villain is often a relative, I haven't done those things, so why am I afraid of others to investigate? (To be continued.) )
