No, when Chen Chen was still working in Shanyi Hall, the six princes sent someone over, saying that there was a new progress in the investigation.

"Sister Xianglian, I'll go out."

"Okay, come back early!"

When Chen Chen hurriedly came to the scene of the crime, he found that it had been controlled by the people under Huangfu Tianyou: there were two attendants standing outside who were responsible for the entry and exit of unrelated personnel, and the inside was also cleared, and only a few of his men carried important and large objects out.

After Chen Chen revealed his identity, he was put in, and across a courtyard from the door, it was the bedroom of the owner of this house, and the sixth prince Huangfu Tianyou was investigating inside.

"The deceased was assassinated in his sleep, although there are many traces at the scene, but it is very messy, and it is estimated that it will take ......a while to analyze it" Huangfu was squatting on the ground and muttered to himself, when he looked up, he saw Chen Chen walking in, stood up and said, "Brother Chen, you are here." That's right, come and help me take a look. ”

All along, Chen Chen has helped them a lot with his excellent insight and wisdom, and the weight of what he said is naturally increasing in Huangfu's heart.

Chen Chen quickly walked up to the six princes and asked, "Who was assassinated this time?" It looks like the family business is not small. ”

"The deceased's name is He Yunsheng, and he is the owner of Yunsheng's shop. Three years ago, he came to Yunyang City with a large amount of money to start a business and established Yunsheng Shop. Interestingly, at first, he was not suppressed by his peers, as if he was just a bystander who would not disturb the situation. Now, three years later, Yunsheng Shop has occupied half of the salt industry, but he died unexpectedly a few days ago. ”

"Selling salt?" Chen Chen's eyes narrowed, his mind running wildly, "The salt industry is an industry controlled by the imperial court, how can it be possible for a common person to occupy half of the country...... What did he do before he came to Yangyang City? ”

Huangfu shook his head, "I don't know, his record three years ago was very vague, as if someone deliberately covered it up." ”

The deliberately covered records, the unimpeded commerce, and the sale of sea salt, which was strictly controlled by the imperial court, all seemed to show the identity of the deceased. But these evidences are too trivial and do not help much in detecting the killer organization.

"Let's think about it from another angle, we have been tracking down the relevant killer organizations during this time, but we have overlooked one thing: why are they so rampant? It must be because someone needs it that they have the opportunity. If we crack down not only on the organizations involved, but also on the employers, this chaos will definitely be reduced. ”

Huangfu nodded, "What Brother Chen said is reasonable. But according to the current law, in addition to those killers who are really burdened with human lives, even those organizers and those who provide information are punished very lightly, let alone employers? But after I go back, I'll wait until I submit a few copies to my father and see if the court can change. ”

Chen Chen nodded, and just wanted to say something more, but a hurried attendant ran in from outside and said to the emperor: "Your Royal Highness, there is another murder." ”

Hearing this, Chen Chen and Huangfu Tianyou's faces changed at the same time, "Go and see!" ”

Ordinary murders do not reach them, and are often considered assassinations after a simple acceptance; Or the status of the deceased is too high, and it must be handed over to them when a royal person comes forward.

"When did this happen?"

“…… Probably, last night. ”

Therefore, when Huangfu and Chenchen heard that they were the first to handle this case, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Because, the person who died this time was...... The lord of the castle of Filial Piety. ”

Although the lord of a city does not manage such a large territory like a "continental", he only governs the affairs of his own city. However, several cities near the imperial city were directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and their status was said to be that of a small imperial city. Now that the lord of the city has been poisoned, who in the whole city is suitable to investigate this matter? It is really fitting to come and invite the Six Princes who have some experience as inspectors.

Although they did this reasonably, the city lords of Xiaoying City next door were all plotted, and they really didn't expect this matter to be so serious. Chenchen stuck his head out of the carriage, and a cold wind blew, mixed with gray dust; The sky ahead was also affected by the cold wind, and the dark clouds began to coalesce overhead, gradually obscuring the light. With the sound of the wheels of the carriage "creaking", Chenchen's thoughts drifted all the way away.

"It's here, please get out of the car."

This is the first time Chen Chen has faced the scene of the crime head-on, in addition to the corpse of the city lord, but it seems that many guards have died among them, and the courtyard is full of blood splattered everywhere. The flower beds and stools around it are no longer in shape, and fragments are scattered everywhere here. The smell of blood was so thick in the air that one couldn't help but want to retch.

"Are you alright?" Huangfu held Chen Chen next to him. It seems that this highness has not been affected by anything.

"It's fine." Chen Chen wiped his lips, and he could be regarded as recovering from it. After all, as a chanter, there may be more such scenes to see in the future.

Huangfu nodded, and then walked past a few corpses on his own, squatted beside the city lord, and rummaged through them regardless of his image.

"Although the incident happened last night, the vigilance of the city lord is different from the previous one, so many guards have died in battle." Chen Chen also stepped over the corpses and squatted beside Huangfu: "Did you find anything?" ”

Huangfu stood up, and it looked like he should have finished investigating: "The city lord's warrant is gone." ”

"Warrant?"

"Yes, with it, you can mobilize the Praetorian Guards in the city."

Although the city lords near the Imperial City did not have actual military power, they were allowed to have their own Praetorian Guards, which could be regarded as a layer of protection outside the Imperial City.

"Let's go inside."

When Huangfu walked into the city lord's bedroom with Chenchen, he found that the inside was much cleaner than the courtyard, and there was basically no trace of being turned. But when Chen Chen opened the cabinet on the side, he found that there were two people hiding inside.

"Don't ...... Don't kill us. ”

Looking closely, hiding inside was a woman holding a child. Since you can hide in the city lord's bedroom, it must be the city lord's family.

"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you. This is the sixth prince of the dynasty, and we will not harm you. ”

"Oh......" The woman lowered her head with Mu Ran's eyes, Chen Chen and Huangfu exchanged glances, the six princes stepped forward and began to ask them what happened last night, and Chen Chen continued to search the house.

There was no sign of anything in the house being moved, and he did not continue to kill his wife and children...... Could it be that he really came for the warrant of the city lord? Chen Chen thought in his heart.
