Chapter 290: Covering Up the Truth
One trick to turn the tiger away from the mountain, used it twice in one night, and put Zhuang Siyan and them at the mercy of flies, but in the end they didn't get anything.
It's really infuriating.
"Okay, Brother Jia, leave the matter here to me first, you go back and rest, and come back tomorrow."
As soon as Jia Mingyuan heard this, he got up from the chair, but unfortunately his body was very honest, and his legs were still weak, so he didn't stand up well all of a sudden, and almost fell down, but fortunately, Qingshi was close and helped him.
Zhuang Siyan gave him a look and asked him to send Jia Mingyuan home directly.
The Criminal Department was so guarded by so many soldiers, and so many people died, and there was almost no fighting outside, which means that the soldiers guarding outside did not find anyone coming in.
When he got inside and killed someone, Jia Mingyuan ran in to take a look, and splashed himself with blood.
The other party didn't even kill an innocent person, only killed a few small leaders who were in charge of the river in the book city who were originally following the ancient books and the new ones, and none of them who didn't know what was going on didn't move.
This kind of disciplined killing is very different from the methods they have seen Zhuang Changyuan and Luo Ke before.
Zhuang Siyan thought about it for a while, but he couldn't get the point, so he discussed with Ah Si and Qing Ran: "Do you think it will be the same group of people?" ”
Qing Ran's idea was that their purpose was to kill people here, but they set up a big situation, and it was a river beach and Taichang Temple, leading them to run around, but they killed everyone here.
Zhuang Siyan shook his head and said, "Even if we were here at the time, with the neatness of the other party's attack, you are completely sure that you can catch him?" ”
Qing Ran shook his head.
I really can't, maybe I can stop him from killing, but it's really not easy to stop people or catch them.
At the same time, Ah Si had a different opinion from Qing Ran, his conclusion was somewhat close to Zhuang Siyan, and the killing of the next person was more disciplined.
When he analyzed, whether it was Taichang Temple or the river beach before, how many innocent people were there, and if they died, they died, and those guys never took human life seriously.
But why this time, only the important ones were killed, and the others didn't move, even the jailers escaped, as long as they didn't stop them in a hurry, they were fine.
And they also saw the figure of the man.
He was also dressed in black, with a black hat on his head, and only a pair of eyes were left around his face.
But those eyes are different from others, according to the people who saw them at the scene, those eyes were very bright, that is, the thief was bright and bright, and there was a scar on the side skin of the eye, and the wound was very large, which crossed the skin of the face and pulled sideways to the position of the temple.
This position happens to be exposed to the outside of the cloth, so they can see more clearly.
Zhuang Siyan listened carefully to everyone's words and began to ask Qing Ran if they knew such a person?
According to common sense, people who are so good at kung fu and behave so grotesquely are generally more likely to come from the rivers and lakes.
If it was really like what the jailer said, there was such an obvious mark, then Qing Ran should have heard of it when they were in the rivers and lakes before.
It's a pity that after asking around, no one knows that Ah Si has been in Beijing for so many years, and he said that he has never heard of this person?
Zhuang Siyan had no choice but to go to Wen Mansion again in the middle of the night.
Wen Qing didn't want to see her in the first place, but recently she often came in the middle of the night to disturb what he thought was a peaceful life, so she really wanted to arrest Zhuang Siyan and beat her, and even told Wen Bo not to open the door for her.
But Wen Bo has now been "bought" by Zhuang Siyan, every time he sees her at a girl's house, he is busy with these things that should be done by men, he is very distressed, and he has ignored Wen Zhai's words, and when he saw Zhuang Siyan coming, he was busy opening the door, letting her in, and going to get some snacks and tea.
Wen Qing, who was picked up in the middle of sleep, had hair on her head, and her eyes were also half-closed and half-open, and she didn't even look at Zhuang Siyan.
She didn't bother to talk nonsense, she went straight to the point and told him about the dead man in the criminal department, and then asked him if he had ever seen someone like the murderer.
Wen Qing squinted and sat for a while, as if he was about to fall asleep, before he replied vaguely: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of some." ”
"Heard? What did you hear about? ”
Wen Qing finally came to his senses, picked up the tea that Wen Bo had put in front of him before, which was already a little cold, and took a sip, and then said: "There is an injury in the eye, and it is from the eyelid to the temple, and the skill is so good, I can only think of one person, that is, the former leader of General Ye." ”
"Huh? People in the military? Zhuang Siyan asked in surprise: "Then why Qingran they haven't heard of it, and even Jia Mingyuan doesn't know." ”
Wen Qing pouted: "Isn't it normal for them to know?" How old is Jia Mingyuan, when the general was active in the capital, he was still a child, and Qing Ran and the others had not yet entered the capital at that time. ”
"So, he's not too young?"
"It's not small, it's half as big as General Ye, I guess he should know when he comes back, I heard that when he entered the barracks, it was this general who received it."
Zhuang Siyan thought to himself: "Even if Ye Yuanpei comes back, he won't know this person, he himself is the existence of stealing beams and changing pillars, how can he know about these old people?" ”
However, he then asked Wen Qing: "He was originally a general, why has he become a killer now?" And that night, several places started at the same time, I suspect that he is not alone, do you think it is possible that he still has someone in his hands now? ”
Wen Qing shook his head: "I don't know this, I was still young back then, I heard about the things of the previous dynasty, and the children all inquired about interesting things, knowing that his kung fu was good, and I had the idea of worshipping him as a teacher back then, but then it was gone."
The year he left the barracks, there was already chaos in Beijing, my father was seriously ill, and we were all stirred up about who would be the emperor, and no one paid attention to the outside affairs.
By the time the imperial brother ascended the throne, I also settled down in the capital, and he was gone, and it had been several years if you counted the time. ”
Zhuang Siyan listened very carefully, and didn't even let go of the details.
She was still thinking, even if Wen Qing didn't know about this general, then someone in Ye Yuanpei's old department should know, right?
He is a general, with a name and a surname, and he was still in the limelight back then, and many people must have an impression of him.
Coming out of the Wen Mansion, Zhuang Siyan wanted to go to the General's Mansion overnight, but was stopped by Qing Ran and said, "Mr. Si, let's go back and rest for a while, and go back tomorrow?" It's easy for you to get sick after working so hard all night. ”
Zhuang Siyan said with a smile: "How can I be so squeamish, I used to run outside all night, and I was never fine." But you're right, although I don't sleep, but others still have to rest, let's go to the General's Mansion now, and we may not be able to find useful people, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”
It's just that before the next morning, Zhuang Siyan's door was knocked open.
At that time, it was not yet dawn, and the husband had just knocked the fifth watch, and most of the people were not sleeping, only the courtiers who wanted to go to the court, and the common people who were in a hurry to gather in the morning got up here.
And because the weather was cold in the early morning, everyone shrunk their necks, and they didn't even look at anyone.
When the servants in the mansion came to knock on her door, Zhuang Siyan had only been asleep for a long time, but there were a lot of cases recently, and she had no clue until now, so her spirit was also highly nervous.
The servant knocked at the door once, and she got up, listened two more times, and then asked her what was the matter.
The servant replied, "Sir, there is a man from outside, who says he wants to see you." ”
Zhuang Siyan had already gotten out of bed quickly, and while getting dressed, he asked her, "Who is it?" ”
"My surname is Xu, and I have been to the house before."
"Okay, invite him in."
When Xu Ning came in, Zhuang Siyan had already cleaned up, as if he had never slept, and greeted Xu Ning energetically and asked, "Brother Xu must have something important to do when he came so early, right?" ”
Xu Ning handed her the case file in his hand first, and then said, "I heard that there was an accident in the Criminal Department last night, and I haven't had time to see Jia Mingyuan yet, is he okay?" ”
Zhuang Siyan shook his head and replied to him: "It's okay, I'm just a little frightened." ”
At the same time, her eyes were not idle, she had already roughly swept over the files, turned the conversation around and asked, "Brother Xu has all visited?" ”
Xu Ning said "um": "As you expected, someone was making trouble inside, and after they brought these corpses back, they were also thrown at random in the mass graves outside the city and buried them roughly." ”
Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Sure enough, it was to disrupt our audio-visual, and it was quite successful, taking away everything that could be recognized and throwing it away, so that even if talented people want to recognize it later, what can be recognized from a pile of bones can only make trouble every day." ”
Xu Ning sat still, listened to her analysis, and said very annoyingly: "What do these people want to do?" Murder and robbery, and taking away the bodies of the dead? ”
Zhuang Siyan's eyes sank, his eyes looked at the file in his hand, but there was a layer of coldness on his face, and his voice was a little hard, not as gentle as usual.
"The more chaotic they are here, the more they want to cover up other things, and they must be more anxious than us now, eager to expose this matter, eager to disrupt our direction, and not to pursue this side of the matter."
Xu Ning didn't understand too much, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhuang Siyan looked up at him: "I don't know yet, but it should be related to something buried under the moat." ”
The one who can bury things at the bottom of the river is definitely not an ordinary person, and now the Criminal Department has also controlled Tian Miao, but that person's mouth is tighter than the ancient book, and he can't ask a word.
He even denied the dead people of the moat, saying that all the people he recruited were normal people, and he didn't know when they were replaced.
Zhuang Siyan went to meet her, and he was almost angry with him, it was the kind of tone that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water and said nonsense with his eyes open.
I probably also thought that this official wouldn't be able to do it anyway, and it would be the same whether he said it or not, so he simply didn't say it.
I couldn't say anything from him, so I could only go to the river to fish, but when will it be fished for such a long river?
They don't know what's hidden inside, they don't know how old it is, and it's really hard to find it by relying on their blood.
Xu Ning saw Zhuang Siyan sitting silently, he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his own affairs were all finished, so he got up to say goodbye.
When Zhuang Siyan sent him to the door and told him again to be careful and safe recently, Xu Ning felt a little reluctant to go.
He stood up for a moment, and said a little sullenly: "If Mr. Si trusts me, let me ask Na Tian Miao." ”
