Du Shu also didn't expect that the young man in front of him turned out to be the Lianghuai Road inspection and observation envoy, and Yang Jing, the hottest upstart in the officialdom today!

After the death of his father Du Gao, Du Shu Ding was worried for three years, and after serving Que, he was transferred to Jiankang Mansion and did an idle official position for a while, and then returned to Anfeng Army, which can be regarded as inheriting his father's will and continuing to protect the people of Anfeng.

Jiankang Mansion was in the early days, and the main battle faction once strived to set the capital in Jiankang Mansion, because the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the morale of the soldiers was bound to be greatly boosted.

However, the main peace faction and the surrender faction believed that the capital was on the edge of the Huai River, and the Mongols were on the other side, and the official family could not easily get into danger, so they finally moved to Lin'an.

In fact, in the end, the real capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was still Bianliang, although Lin'an was the actual capital, but nominally only accompanied the capital, but unfortunately the Southern Song Dynasty until its demise, no emperor was able to return to Tokyo Bianliang.

In view of the special features of Jiankang Mansion, when Du Shu was in Jiankang Mansion, he was able to get relevant information about the imperial court in a timely manner, and those official newspapers made him have enough understanding of the turmoil in the imperial court.

He had heard of Yang Jing's name, especially after Yang Jing cracked major cases one after another, Du Shu also silently remembered Yang Jing's name in his heart.

When he became a criminal officer in Huaixi, he paid more attention to Yang Jing's officialdom news, and this time he heard that Yang Jing was coming to Anfengjun, Du Shu was not only happy, but also under pressure.

He had already heard that Yang Jing was a young man, but he never expected Yang Jing to be so young!

But it is such a young man, but he has gathered many important positions, although he is approachable, his every move makes people feel like a spring breeze, and there is a kind of intimacy of the wind and drizzle, but when Yang Jing is serious, he has a kind of stability and majesty.

Du Shu was also anxious, and took the initiative to ask Yang Jing about the case of Ding Ding's killer, at this time Yang Jing asked, he came to his senses, Yang Jing as a Lianghuai Road patrol observation, and a prison man, he, the criminal officer, should first tell Yang Jing the case!

After all, Du Shu is older than Yang Jing, but he was pressed by Yang Jing, and his heart was always a little unnatural, but after thinking about Yang Jing's resume, although he did not have a serious Jinshi background, he was promoted step by step by relying on his strength, which was by no means comparable to the second generation of those princes and nobles, and he was relieved.

"Lord Yang, this official has been following this case for a while, and has arrested a few barbarians, these barbarians' modus operandi is brutal, and they seem to follow the same method, most of the victims are young and strong, all of them are men, and their deaths are similar..."

"After arresting these barbarians, there is still no peace in the local area, and there are still people who continue to commit crimes, so this official believes that it is necessary to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and find out the mastermind behind the scenes, that is, the source of training these barbarians, so as to completely solve this case!"

According to Du Shu's account, these cases have the same pattern as the murder case in Jiangning County, and they must have been instructed and taught by the same person.

But when Yang Jing was in Jiangning County, Ding Ding's killer should have been in Jiangning County, and then followed Yang Jing all the way north, and when he arrived at An Fengjun, he attacked Dong Zhen to provoke Yang Jing.

But the case investigated by Du Shu happened again at the same time, which can only show that this Ding Ding killer commanded the murderous barbarians of An Fengjun and Jiangning County at the same time!

"Du Tixing, can you send someone to the surrounding prefectures and counties to inquire, this official feels that this evil force is not only in An Fengjun and Jiangning County, but their motive is definitely not just to practice castration and facilitate access to the Mongolian palace!"

"My lord!" Du Shu heard Yang Jing say this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said to Yang Jing: "It's not a secret, the lower officials have already felt that this case is unusual, so they have sent people to Luzhou and other places to obtain the relevant files of local criminal investigations, as Lord Yang said, similar murder cases cover almost the entire Huainan region!"

"In the humble opinion of the lower officials, these barbarians have formed a rigorous organization, and as for why they are doing this, the lower officials don't have much clue for a while..."

Yang Jing heard Du Shu say this, and couldn't help but nod appreciatively, compared to Liang Shucheng, Du Shu, as a criminal officer, has greater authority and greater investigation intensity, and the situation he has mastered is naturally more comprehensive than Liang Shucheng.

"I don't know if Du Ti can send the file over, the official wants to go in person, but this cave is not out of danger yet, and the official is also lacking in skills..."

Du Shu saw that there was no shelf, and his heart was also doubled, and he said to Yang Jing: "The lord was ordered to inspect Huainan and cooperate with the work of the lord, which is the duty of the lower officials, but he never dared to refuse, and the lower officials let the lower officials take the file!"

Yang Jing thought that Du Shu would rely on his identity as the son of Du Gao, and deliberately put on the shelf of a snake on the ground, but he didn't expect Du Shu to be so resolute, and he really had the bearing of a general, so he couldn't help but smile and nod at him.

"Then there will be the punishment of Laudui. ”

"Lord Yang is too polite, this cave true path chief is the only survivor, if your lord gets any news from him, you can immediately go down to the branch official, in order to catch this evil ghost who killed the people of my Great Song Dynasty, the lower official will definitely spare no effort and go all out!"

Yang Jing saw Du Shu like this, so he said to Du Shu: "Dong Zhen still needs some time to recover, and it is not suitable for questioning at the moment, since Du Ti is here, let's go to investigate the scene together, and when Dong Zhen wakes up, let's verify it again." ”

Du Shu had already heard of Yang Jing's ability to solve the case, and now he was able to investigate the scene with Yang Jing, so he hurriedly said to Yang Jing: "This is the honor of the lower officials!"

Yang Jing didn't say much, and told Chen Xixian and Yi Ji to guard Dongzhen, and if Dongzhen woke up, he would notify Yang Jing in time, and then go to the place of the incident with Du Shu.

Du Shu had already surrounded the entire post house, and Yang Jing asked Chen Mi and the others to go out early to contact Li Tingzhi to sweep away the Red Flag Killers and Mongolian Killers in the Anfeng Military City, so the first scene should not have been polluted.

Because Yang Jing went north with the guards this time, there were a large number of people, and they couldn't all settle in the post house, so the guards set up camp outside the post house, and only Yang Jing and others stayed in the post house.

Dong Zhen and seven or eight disciples of Longshan Guan lived in the bungalow at the back of the post house, Dong Zhen was a big disciple, so he was assigned a separate room, although the room was very narrow, but after all, it was a private space, and the treatment was not too bad.

These rows of bungalows have only been simply painted, and the furnishings inside are also very simple, Yang Jing and Du Shu came to the front of the bungalow, and they did not rush in, but looked at the footprints in front of the bungalow, and sighed lightly.

"These disciples of Longshan Guan were the first to discover Dong Zhen, although they notified Chen Xixian of the prison as soon as possible, Chen Xixian was a sensible old man, and he didn't let people into the room, so as not to destroy the scene, but unfortunately these onlookers trampled the front of the door into a rotten ground, and it was impossible to get the footprints of the villain..."

Although Du Shu was also an official of this dynasty, he did not uphold the principle of confession as the king of case handling like other criminal officers or magistrates, and used the confession of the suspect as the basis for handling the case, but also understood the significance of footprints to criminal investigation.

From this point of view, Du Shu's consciousness in terms of criminal names is already a level higher than that of other officials.

"My lord, this is not necessarily, those Taoist masters of Longshan Temple wear Taoist hemp shoes, these hemp shoes are issued in the Taoist temple, the pattern of the footprints should be similar, and if the footprints of the murderer are left, they will be very conspicuous, and they are not necessarily all bad..."

Yang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard Du Shu's analysis, but he quickly shook his head gently.

Even if the footprints of Tintin killers are extracted, only after catching him can they rely on comparing shoe prints to determine whether they are the real murderers, and at this time, Yang Jing's intention is to determine the murderer's entry and exit routes through footprints.

Now that the footprints are trampled on by the Taoist priests, it is impossible to distinguish and determine, and the meaning of the shoe prints has become less important.

Moreover, Dong Zhen's kung fu is not low, but he has no defensive injuries on his body, which means that he did not fight with the Ding Ding killer, so Yang Jing is sure that the murderer never broke in from the main entrance, even if these footprints are searched, it is just futile.

The reason why he took the initiative to bring up the topic of footprints was just to test Du Shu's success, and now it seems that Du Shu is much more shrewd than Liang Shucheng and others.

Du Shu was sentenced all the way, although he had respect for Yang Jing, but after all, he was the chief officer, and even let the people under him start to print those footprints from the periphery.

Yang Jing didn't stop him, just went around to the back of the bungalow, carefully searching for footprints on the ground, but to his disappointment, there were still no footprints behind.

Du Shu will not miss such an opportunity, naturally he has to follow Yang Jing, the back of the bungalow is grass, and it is not impossible to leave footprints, because it is raining these days, the soil is soft, and the ground around the post house is a lot of mud, so the possibility of leaving mud marks on the grass is very large.

It's just that Du Shu searched for a while, and like Yang Jing, he was a little disappointed.

"Could it be that this person really entered through the main entrance?" Yang Jing thought to himself, and squatted on the ground like a hound, searching the grass behind the window inch by inch.

And when he checked the window, he found that the window was locked from the inside, the gauze paper on the panes was very old, and there was no sign of damage, and the two folio panes had been nailed with wooden strips, and the traces were long, so it was obvious that the windows had been sealed for a long time.

The "window sill" on the outside is only half a palm's width and is an extension of the window frame, making it impossible to stand at all.

This window has been sealed for some reason, maybe no one has lived in it for too long, and I don't bother to repair it, but there is a hole the size of a child's head under the eaves, which should be the old beam has been replaced, leaving such a hole.

There are some watermarks left on the window frame, Yang Jing touched it, twisted it on his fingers, and found that the water stains were sticky, some like salivation, some like snot, and next to them were two plum blossom-like imprints, which looked like the paw prints of some animal!

"My lord, what is this?" Du Shu followed and stepped forward and asked Yang Jing.

Yang Jing stretched out his finger in front of Du Shu and said with a smile, "Do you want to smell it yourself?"

Du Shu was slightly stunned, and then he sniffed it, the smell had a familiar smell, but Du Shu didn't think about it for a while, and Yang Jing didn't urge.

Yang Jing stared at the small plum blossom imprint for a long time, and then Du Shu suddenly realized: "Is it saliva?"

Yang Jing couldn't help but smile and nodded, there were various proteases and bacteria in the saliva, so after rubbing the saliva, it would emit a foul smell.

It's just that Du Shu is more and more puzzled, if this saliva is Ding Ding's killer, then what a distorted mentality this person should be, besides, this window is closed, and he can't see the hole in the room at all, why is he hiding behind the window alone and drooling?

Besides, there were no footprints left on the grass, and after such a long time, the saliva had long since dried up!

Yang Jing checked the window, and pushed the window with his hand, when his eyes swept over the window frame, his eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he had found something, and searched the grass again, and soon found a hole the size of an egg in the grass!
