Chapter 32: Qijiawu
"Let me tell you, this case definitely has something to do with Qi Jiawu!" Xu Zun said in public, "It is impossible for that Taoist priest to appear in the Immortal View for no reason!" β
"Oh? Qijiawu? β
Luo Wanwan, Qiu Yongnian, Zhao Yu and others frowned.
"Yes!" Xu Zun said solemnly, "This case can't be wrong!" In order to kill someone, the murderer did not hesitate to build a coffin made of iron, which shows that it must be a revenge!
"Perhaps, more than 30 years ago, Qijiawu had a tragic case! This is the victim who came to seek revenge! β
"This ......" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "Lord Xu, what kind of revenge are you looking for?" Why can't I understand? β
"Still don't understand?" Xu Zun said confidently, "That Taoist priest is the culprit back then, and Lord Liu Zhang may also have something to do with this case!" β
"Humph! Nonsense! Sure enough, as soon as he heard that someone was slandering Liu Zhang, Luo Xiancheng immediately looked at Xu Zun anxiously, "I said that Master Liu has served for so many years, he is loyal and upright, and he has never done anything harmful!" β
"You say that he has been in office for so many years," Xu Zun said, "how can you know that he is absolutely innocent?" β
"You? You ......" Luo Xiancheng was annoyed, "Master Liu has served for many years, but it has been like more than 20 years, and Qijiawu has been abandoned for more than 30 years.
"That is to say, when Master Liu took office, Qijiawu was already in ruins! What can it matter? β
"Master Liu is nearly sixty years old," Xu Zun replied unceremoniously, "Are you sure you know what he did before he took office?" β
"You!?" Luo Xiancheng was so angry that his eyes were glazed, and his beard seemed to explode.
"You don't have to rush to get angry, it's just a hypothesis!" Xu Zun turned to everyone and said, "Didn't you find out?" From Qijiawu to Zhangqiao, you only need to climb a hill to reach, and there is also a winding mountain road to pass, which is very convenient for the murderer to implement the plan!
"Also, you have also seen that the Taoist priest is full of old wounds left by torture, which shows that he has been subjected to inhuman abuse during his lifetime, and it must be the murderer who is venting his hatred!"
This......
Xu Zun's words were conclusive, which made everyone have to rethink.
"However, Ji Ying ......," Qiu Xianling thought of something, and said, "If it is really as you judged, how can the iron coffin case two years ago be explained, and the 37 corpses ......?"
"My lord," Xu Zun didn't wait for Qiu Yongnian to finish speaking, and then directly interrupted, "Let's take care of the present first!"
"We can't conclude that these two iron coffin cases must have been committed by the same group!
"Maybe it was the Avenger who deliberately imitated it, or maybe as long as we figured out the truth of the current iron coffin case, the case from two years ago would also be revealed?"
"This ......"
Although Xu Zun has some truth, according to everyone's understanding of Xu Zun himself, he is still skeptical.
"Lord Qiu, haven't you discovered the crux of this case?" Xu Zun said excitedly, "As long as we can find out whether there was a super big case in Qijiawu 30 years ago, and prove that this big case has something to do with the Taoist priest and Master Liu, then we can find the murderer!"
"Movies like this, oh no, I've seen too many cases like this before!" Xu Zun said again, "The family of the victim of that big case is the murderer of today's iron coffin case!"
"And, according to the direction of the plot, well...... No, I mean, judging by experience, there may be other accomplices in that big case, maybe the murderer's revenge continues, and there will be deaths! β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The words made everyone stunned and looked at each other.
Everyone wants to say, what experience can Xu Zun have at such a young age? However, his analysis seems to be well-founded and difficult to refute.
As a result, there was a dead silence at the scene, and no one spoke.
"Then ......" It wasn't until 45 seconds after the cold field that Qiu Yongnian, who had thought about it seriously, asked Xu Zun, "Ji Ying, how do you want to check?" β
"Does that need to be said?" Xu Zun clenched his fists excitedly, "Send all the people to focus on investigating the Qijiawu case that has been going on for decades!" β
"Yes...... But ......" At this time, Zhao Yu, the head catcher, couldn't sit still, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and wanted to say something to Xu Zun.
However, Xu Zun, who was on the rise, directly ordered him:
"Zhao Zhutou, all the way to investigate the Qijiawu case; All the way to investigate the identity of the Taoist priest; All the way to check the relationship between Master Liu and Qi Jiawu!
"Also," Xu Zun said again, "I have to send a group of people to check the county chronicles with me to see if there is any record in the county chronicles!?" β
"Yes...... ......However, Zhao Yu still seemed to have an objection, and even raised his hand.
"Zhao Zhutou, hurry up and do what I say!" Xu Zun suppressed him again, and ordered in an irrefutable tone, "When investigating the old case, I mainly ask the old people over 80 years old in Qijiawu; Investigating the Taoist priest can trace the origin of the jade pendant; and Master Liu's book, look through the corners of his house to see if there is a secret hidden somewhere? I don't need to teach you any more about this, do I? β
"This ...... This ......" Zhao Yu was still hesitating.
"Zhao Zhutou," finally, Qiu Yongnian spoke, "Just do what Jiying said!" Without further ado, if Ji Ying really gets it right, it will be the first achievement! β
"This ...... All right! Zhao Yu had no choice but to forcibly swallow back his thoughts, clenched his fists and promised, and then went with his subordinates to assign tasks.
"Ji Ying," Qiu Yongnian said to Xu Zun again, "Master Liu is no longer here, and the manpower is so tight, let Yao Jin accompany you to see those county chronicles!" He has given Master Liu a start, and he should be able to help! β
"Okay, that's great!" Xu Zun clenched his fists, "Without further ado, I'll go now!" β
"That'...... Let's go check it out first! Qiu Yongnian said again, "I'll discuss some more things with Luo Xiancheng, and after the discussion, I'll also go over to help!" β
"Good!"
Xu Zun gave a salute and withdrew from the inner hall with his master Yao Jin......
"Hmph, Huangkou Xiaoer, I can't handle things well!" As soon as Xu Zun left on his front foot, Na Luo Million couldn't wait to complain, "It's true, if he can solve such a big case, then the sun will come out of the west!" β
"Your Excellency doesn't have to worry about Ji Ying," Qiu Yongnian persuaded, "Don't forget, if the iron coffin case is really the same as two years ago, and the crime is lowered, we still count on that Shen Gong to help us talk!" β
"Oh, really! Wake up the dreamer with a word! Luo Xiancheng suddenly woke up, "It's still Ji Ying who thinks thoughtfully!" If the former county lieutenant had a good old man like Xu Zun, he would not end up dying in a foreign land! β
"But ......," Qiu Yongnian said again, "After all, Ji Ying is not yet married, and it is imperative that we still have to figure out this fatal case!"
"Alas," he sighed, "I'm lucky enough to encounter this kind of case when I first took office!" β
"Huh? Yongnian," Luo Xiancheng advised, "what are you worried about?" You are Jinshi Hanlin, a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, if you can't solve the case, this pot will not let you carry it!
"And, think about it from another angle, what if you could solve this case? Isn't it a stumbling block? β
"Hehe, don't make fun of me!" Qiu Yongnian smiled bitterly, "Such a mysterious case, if it could be solved, I'm afraid it would have been solved two years ago!" β
"It's okay, it's okay," Luo Xiancheng said, "Let's check it again, maybe there will be a turnaround!" Later, I'll go and see the iron coffin, and by the way, take a look at the Taoist priest and Master Liu......"
"Okay," Qiu Yongnian nodded and asked casually, "By the way, Lord Luo, I want to ask, who took away the iron coffin and the 37 corpses two years ago?" β
"Hey, this one," Luo Xiancheng first looked at the sides, and then replied in a low voice after seeing that there was no one on either side, "At first, I just thought that the people from the Assassin's Mansion took it away!"
But the more I thought about it later, the more wrong it became, because when the iron coffin was carried away, Lord Thorn Shi also looked helpless, no, to be precise, it should be a particularly frightened look!
"So......" Luo Xiancheng pointed lightly to the sky and said, "I suspect that the last person to take away the iron coffin should be the ...... in the palace."
