Back in the Criminal Department, Lin Tianyang gathered Zhang Kuan and other subordinates together, and then drew the portrait of the murderer with the mask and face with a pen, and drew several pictures, so that everyone could remember the appearance of this person.

"This is the murderer of this murder, the scholar and the merchant were killed by him, you go to him, don't act rashly after you find him, immediately summon your companions, go and arrest him together, don't let him hurt you." Lin Tianyang said to everyone.

"Yes, sir!" And they all answered together.

"Originally, I wanted to report to the adult, forget it, I'll report to the adult when I find the murderer." Lin Tianyang said, and then with a wave of his hand, he led everyone out of the punishment department, and then acted separately.

There are millions of people in the Imperial City, and it is difficult to find one, but this person can only be found in a few places: inns, restaurants, teahouses and gambling houses, that is, these four places are the most likely, and these four places are also the focus of the search.

Lin Tianyang walked along the street for more than an hour, and when it was time for lunch, he walked into a restaurant, and just sat down, he heard "Huhu... Lin Tianyang rushed out of the restaurant and rushed in the direction where the whistle came.

Soon, Lin Tianyang saw a group of people gathered at the door of a gambling house, Lin Tianyang quickened his pace and ran over.

When he got closer, Lin Tianyang saw Zhang Kuan, Pang Ren, and a servant named Sun Laicai besieging a person, who was a strong man with a heavy sword in his hand, and was fighting with three people.

This strong man has a wide forehead, round eyes, and low cheekbones, but a large mouth, which is exactly what the murderer with a masked face looks like.

The murderer was very ferocious, and although he did not have the upper hand with one enemy and three enemies, he did not show his defeat.

At this time, the other catchers also arrived, and also joined the battle.

Seeing that there were more and more people on the side of the officials, the strong man was a little panicked, and shouted loudly while resisting everyone's attacks: "Why did you kill me? ”

"We didn't want to kill you, we are the arrest of the Criminal Department, you should also see our clothes, you are a suspect in a homicide case, and we will be interrogated by adults." Zhang Kuan said.

At this time, the strong man already knew their identities, just to see if his murderous behavior was exposed, if not, he would have nothing to do with these people to go back, as long as he didn't say that they had no evidence; But when he heard Zhang Kuan's words, he knew that he was exposed, and he couldn't go back with these people, and he had to escape.

Thinking of escaping, the strong man slashed out his heavy sword, forced back two people, tore a hole in the encirclement, and immediately rushed out.

At this time, a person rushed over, hit the strong man's stomach with a punch, and directly threw the strong man's big one back, slammed it to the ground, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Lin Tianyang withdrew his fist and said loudly, "Take him back." ”

"Okay... Someone in the crowd around to watch the excitement suddenly shouted hello, and then everyone around cheered one after another.

This made Lin Tianyang and the others very surprised, but they quickly figured it out, this is normal, after all, it is these ordinary people who feel safest in doing this.

"Thank you, this is the newly appointed Lin Zhutou of the Criminal Department, Lin Zhutou, who has become famous during this time, but he has solved many cases and arrested many murderers, this person is the murderer of the murder case in an inn, and this case has been solved now." Zhou Guang said loudly to the people around him.

Hearing Zhou Guang's words, the surrounding people shouted loudly, "Lin Zhutou, Lin Zhutou... ”

"Thank you, we're going to go back and interrogate this person." Lin Tianyang said with a smile, and then with a wave of his hand, he led someone to escort the strong man to the criminal department.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department was also very happy when he heard that the murderer had been caught, and immediately went to the court for interrogation.

"My lord, this is the silver ticket found from the murderer, I don't know if it's the two deceased." Lin Tianyang handed a few silver tickets to Lord Yang.

In front of the evidence collected by Lin Tianyang and others, the strong man did not resist too much, and confessed the motive and process of the killing; Like Lin Tianyang's investigation, the strong man inadvertently saw the scholar and the merchant discussing the sharing of the spoils together, and then saw that they were staying in an inn, so he sneaked into an inn in the middle of the night, knocked down the two people, robbed them of their silver tickets, and then killed the two people with a boning knife in the kitchen, in fact, he wanted to blame the chef of the inn, but what he didn't expect was that the traces on the two corpses revealed his true purpose.

The evidence was conclusive, the strong man confessed again, and after Lord Zhao let the strong man draw the detention, he sentenced him to behead the prison marquis, and he was executed three days later.

After retreating, Lord Yang called Lin Tianyang to the back hall.

"Don't you think there's something you can't figure out?" Lord Yang asked.

"There's nothing I can't understand about this case, but what I don't understand has nothing to do with this case." Lin Tianyang replied.

Lord Yang nodded and said, "I know you can't figure it out, but I have to hand it over to you, the matter is to start a few days ago, when Su Yan was already a little abnormal, he came to me, saying that he was controlled by others, it should be evil, but I didn't care, but yesterday Su Yan couldn't control himself, I knew that he really had a problem, and then I handed over this case to you." ”

Hearing Lord Yang's words, Lin Tianyang was stunned for a moment, he said that what he didn't understand was not what Lord Yang said, but something else, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, you misunderstood, I didn't say this." ”

After a pause, Lin Tianyang continued: "After our investigation, that scholar and businessman are not their true identities, there is an inn that costs a lot, and a scholar who comes to his classmates to make a living should not be able to afford it, but the inside story of this matter is somewhat beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, I am afraid that adults will say that I am strange and confused." ”

Lord Yang laughed when he heard this, and said, "Strange power? I thought so when I was your age, but over the years, I've seen a lot of weird things, and I've experienced a lot of them myself, so just say, I believe you. ”

When Lin Tianyang heard this, he said: "I went to find Su Yan's head catcher, and found that he was indeed evil, and his mind was controlled, and what controlled him was a soul sealed in a piece of ancient jade, so I broke the piece of ancient jade and released the soul, and as a result, the soul took away the branch of Su Yan's head catcher, and Su Yan's head catcher is no big problem now, and he will be healed after a period of cultivation." ”

"And that soul is different from what I have encountered before, his soul is full of a very small kind of worms, those bugs are like the legendary witchcraft, but they are like the legendary soul eater; The soul didn't poison me and Su Zhutou, he said that it was sealed in that piece of ancient jade, dug up by scholars and merchants, these two people were actually tomb robbers, and they came to the capital this time to sell this piece of ancient jade; Their killer was also told to me by the same spirit. ”

"What I don't understand is the origin of this soul, he said that he would take away and be reborn, and then come to me, if a person with such strength is really reborn, and then do evil, it is also a big scourge."

When it came to Lin Tianyang's words, Lord Yang knew that he had just misunderstood what Lin Tianyang meant, but he was attracted by the inside story of this ordinary homicide case, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a character behind this case.

"So that's the case, so can you tell if that person is friend or foe with you now?" Lord Yang asked.

Lin Tianyang shook his head and said, "I can't tell the difference, when I expelled the evil things in Su Zhutou's body before, I consumed a lot of his energy, whether I am friend or foe with him depends on his attitude when he comes to me next time." ”

Hearing this, Lord Yang nodded and said, "No matter what, you have to be careful, you are now the only one among the five head catchers who can know spells, but what about our treasure." ”

After a pause, Lord Yang continued: "Now it seems that the world is peaceful, but in fact, the evil demons are rampant, so we need people like you to eliminate these evil demons; There are a lot of files in the archives of our criminal department, some of which are also involved in such things, you can go and see them when you are fine, some of those files have been put for a long time, and no one has read them. ”

Hearing this, Lin Tianyang hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, I must go to see it often, and I must learn more from the experience of the seniors in the Criminal Department." ”

"Hehehehehe... That's good, you can understand what I mean. Lord Yang said with a smile, and then took out two silver tickets found from the strong man and handed them to Lin Tianyang, and said with a smile: "This is your reward." ”

After the murderer was caught, the shopkeeper of an inn and his companions were released, after all, they were the biggest suspects before, and they all thought that it would be difficult to go out in this life, and Lin Tianyang never suspected them from the beginning, just simply questioned them and it was over, did not punish them, and entertained them with good food and drink, which made them also very grateful to Lin Tianyang and others, and they all had the feeling of being a human being in two lives.

"Brothers, they're all here." Lin Tianyang shouted.

Zhang Kuan and the others all came up, and Pang Ren asked with a smile: "Boss, is there something good?" With a smile on your face, did the adults compliment us? ”

"That's a must, a big compliment to us, but that's not important, it's this that matters." Lin Tianyang said with a smile, then took out the two silver tickets, and then said loudly: "The adult reward is two thousand taels, and our brothers divide it." ”

"Huh?" The crowd exclaimed, and then they all cheered.
