Chapter 378: Finding Clues (Part 1)

In Yongfang, Jujube Hutong, a team of brocade clothes came in a hurry, frightening the people at the mouth of the alley.

In the depths of the alley, outside a rather dilapidated house, the group stopped.

"Meet Master Cao!" At the gate of the house, a man in a cyan short suit arched his hand.

"What's the situation?" Jinyi Wei Qianhu Shen Tong asked.

Because of his repeated achievements in the Liaodong battlefield, this Jinyi Wei secret agent, who repeatedly went behind enemy lines that day, was deeply appreciated by Tian Ergeng, and had become a thousand households, and returned to Beijing City with Tian Ergeng, serving in the Beizhen Fusi, and now he was ordered to investigate the assassination of the emperor.

Just now, some people from the periphery of Jinyiwei reported that there seemed to be movement in the abandoned house in Zaoshu Hutong, so Shen Tong hurriedly brought someone over.

"This house was originally the residence of the head of the Criminal Department, and the wife of the head of the Criminal Department died violently for no reason, and then his two children died within a year. Later, the house changed three owners one after another, and the owners all died suddenly in the house, so it became a murderous house, and no one was willing to buy it, so it was deserted.

The villain was a servant in the house next door, and when he went out to do errands today, he heard an exclamation from here, and the villain secretly hid to check, and after a while two strong men came out of this courtyard, and the villain noticed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly reported it. The man in Tsing Yi said.

"Do you see the two of them?" Shen Tong asked.

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head: "The villain hid a little far away, and the two of them were wearing felt hats, so they didn't see clearly." However, they are all burly, agile, at first glance they are often practicing martial arts in the army, the villain quietly followed for a while, afraid that they would not dare to follow too closely, and after a while, they lost it, so they hurriedly reported. ”

Shen Tong shook his head slightly, this man in Tsing Yi was just a fine work developed by Jinyi Wei in the petty official servant of the household next door, and he had no professional training, so it was already very good to be able to perform like this.

"Open the door, enter the hospital and search." Shen Tong said in a deep voice.

A group of more than a dozen people entered the courtyard and immediately began to search. This is indeed an abandoned house, the yard is not big, it is an ordinary courtyard house, the ground is full of dust and dry grass, the courtyard walls have collapsed in several places, it looks like there has been no one living for a long time.

Shen Tong brought all the Jinyi guards from Beizhen Fusi, and they were all Jinyi Tiqi who were specially responsible for investigating cases, and they were all experienced. It didn't take much effort to search all the rooms in the entire courtyard, but nothing unusual was found.

Shen Tong stood in the courtyard and looked around, staring at the well in the corner of the courtyard.

Standing on the edge of the well and looking down, he saw that the water was not frozen several feet down, so he ordered someone to fetch a bucket of water.

"My lord, it smells of blood." A brocade-clothed lieutenant tasted the well water and looked up.

"Wash the well!" Shen Tong said coldly.

Soon found ropes, iron claws and other objects, and began to search the bottom of the well, and after a while, someone was pleasantly surprised: "There is something in the well!" ”

The two brocade-clothed lieutenants quickly pulled up the rope and pulled it out of the water, only to see a corpse hooked under the iron claws.

When he pulled it up and laid it flat on the ground, he saw that the corpse was dressed in a satin robe, and his face was cut to pieces.

"My lord, this person was strangled to death by a rope, judging by the condition of his corpse, the time of death is today, and his face was cut by a sharp blade." The brocade clothes who examined the corpse said.

Shen Daodao: "Is there anything that can confirm the identity?" ”

The servant shook his head: "Nothing has been found." ”

Shen Tong nodded: "The corpse will be brought back to Beizhen Fusi, and its identity will be investigated again." ”

Zhu Youzhen was assassinated, and the Jinyi guards in the entire Beijing city were mobilized, together with the two counties of Wanping and Daxing in Shuntianfu, as well as the soldiers and horses of the five cities, to search and check from door to door, and any people who were not at home could find out their whereabouts, as long as the corpse was from Beijing, its identity could definitely be found! It's just that Beijing has a population of one million, and it will take some time to check it.

However, according to the time of death, it occurred after the emperor's assassination, and it is likely to have something to do with the assassination, perhaps because he was killed. So no matter what, you have to make sure of its identity!

After returning to Beizhen Fusi, Shen Tong immediately sent someone to contact the other Jinyi guards who were in charge of the search, to see which family had a population who was not at home or could not know where to go, and brought his family to Beizhen Fusi.

In one day, dozens or hundreds of people were brought over one after another to examine the bodies. In the afternoon of the next day, a woman with a beautiful face looked at the corpse and cried: "Boss, you have died so miserably! ”

"This is your family?" Shen Tong ordered someone to pick up the woman and asked sternly.

The woman cried and nodded: "It is the slave husband, the slave family recognizes this dress, there is a black mole on the waist of the corpse, it is indeed the slave husband, my lord, who killed the slave husband, you must catch the murderer!" ”

"You have to be honest so that you can catch the murderer as soon as possible. What is your husband's name and identity? Shen Tong was pleasantly surprised in his heart and hurriedly said.

"The slave's husband's name is Liu Fu, no, his name is Wu Fu." The woman said.

"Liu Fu for a while, Wu Fu for a while, don't you even know what your husband's surname is?" Shen Tong said unhappily, "This is the Jinyi Guard Yamen, if you dare to lie, there will be no good fruit to eat!" ”

The woman was startled, and hurriedly said: "My husband is a slave from the Hou Mansion of Gongshun, and his natural surname is Wu. My lord, for the sake of Gongshun Houye, you must find the murderer! ”

Shen Tong was overjoyed in his heart, it really didn't take any effort to come here!

The two assassins confessed that a person named Fu took them into Beijing, and the corpse was called Liu Fu or Wu Fu, most of which was the Fu shopkeeper, who was later killed, and it turned out to be a slave of the Gong Shun Hou family, could it be that the assassin was instructed by the Hou of Gongshun?

"Come on, send the corpses to Zhao Prison, and let the two assassins check them separately to see if they are the Fu shopkeeper who brought them into Beijing!" Shen Tong hurriedly said.

"What assassin? What do you say, sir? The woman asked blankly.

"Haven't you heard of the assassin who assassinated His Majesty?" Shen Tong smiled.

"Huh? I'm in charge of the Assassins, and I have nothing to do with the Assassins. The woman cried out in terror.

Looking at this stupid woman who didn't know anything, Shen Tong shook his head slightly, it's a pity that this good skin, if the matter is decided, this woman will definitely not end well, and the best end is to enter the teaching workshop as a kiln sister, at that time, will he go to patronize her business?

The body was sent to Zhao Prison and identified by the two assassins, Fan Wusi and Yuan Feng, respectively, and both of them said that they were indeed the treasurer of Nafu.

Shen Tong was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to send the trial results to Xiyuan and report it to Tian Ergeng, the governor of Jinyiwei, who was trying the case.

ps: The disaster will eventually pass, come on Zhengzhou!
