Chapter 185: Search

It took nearly half an hour to hear movement coming from the entrance of the cave, and after a while, I saw Erhu jumping out of the hole, followed by Ding Yan's two men.

"My lord, the exit of the secret passage here is in an abandoned courtyard in the south of the city, and the situation inside is the same as the secret passage found in Zhang's house, and there are several forks in it, and my subordinates are sure that this secret passage must be related to this case of abduction and trafficking of women.

Ding Yan took the torch, stepped forward to look at the mud on the cave, only to see that the bottom of the cave was covered with thick moss, and it was not a few months to form such a secret passage, and the time of this secret passage in Dali Temple was estimated to be several years, but no one in Dali Temple found it.

"Lord Ding, I don't know if there is a sentence that should be said or not."

"Miss Su, please speak."

"There must be ghosts in Dali Temple, and the position must not be low, otherwise this secret passage cannot be hidden for so long."

Of course Ding Yan knows the truth, so he will be even more angry, he has a feeling in his heart, the people behind this case seem to be quite familiar with the methods of the government to investigate the case, just like the entrance of the secret passage in Zhang's house, if it weren't for Su Yu and her dog, whether it was the Kyoto Mansion, their Dali Temple, or the people from the Criminal Department to investigate, they couldn't find out the entrance of the secret passage, as if it was just to prevent them, it seems that the people behind the scenes should not have a low official position in the court.

"I hope that Lord Yu and Miss Su don't tell anyone about what I saw here."

"This is Lord Ding's business, so naturally we won't say it."

"Thank you."

"Lord Ding is busy here, so let's go to the Kyoto Prefecture first."

sent the two away, and when he turned back, Ding Yan's face was already gloomy.

"From now on, you two will take turns guarding this place every day, and I want to see who it is. Also, the two people who sent you to trust take turns to keep an eye on the old king in the garden, he will not be able to find this secret passage after taking care of the garden for so many years, there must be a problem. ”

As soon as the entrance was closed, several people really noticed that the grass on it grew slightly different from the surrounding area.

"Yes, sir."

Now it's afternoon, it's dark and early in winter, and Yu Zheng went to Kyoto Mansion with Su Yu, Jiang Mansion Yin is sitting bored in the back hall at this time, today Twenty-nine didn't need him to be on duty, but I thought that the incident happened yesterday, that is, the emperor didn't let him come and he didn't dare to go back, although the case was handed over to Dali Temple yesterday, but it is not known whether it will burn him here in the future.

"My lord, Lord Yu and Miss Su are here."

"Please."

The emperor asked Yu Zhengsu to cooperate with Dali Temple to handle the case, Jiang Fu Yin also heard a little about this matter, although he didn't understand what the emperor meant, but in line with the principle that the officialdom would rather make friends than offend, Jiang Fu Yin hurriedly asked the two to come in.

"Lord Yu, Miss Su, why are you here?"

"Lord Jiang, this official is now helping to investigate the case with Miss Su in Dali Temple, and some places want to come to the government to investigate, and I hope that Lord Jiang will make it convenient."

Yu Zheng said and handed over Ding Yan's handwriting, Jiangfu Yin opened it and saw that it was indeed Dali Siqing's handwriting, what else did he have to say, and the good words of the people also said that the procedures were complete, so he could only cooperate.

"What do you want to look for?"

"Presumably, Lord Jiang should have the file of this missing woman here, we want to check whether there are many cases of missing women like this one before these women?"

It was Su Yu who asked, and Jiang Fu Yin was not helpless.

"This is easy to do, I'll take you to the government dossier room, but I also know a little about this."

Jiang Fu Yin has been sitting in this position for five years, and he still has some impressions of some things.

"It seems to have happened two years ago, many people came to report that their daughter was missing, ranging in age from fourteen to sixteen or seventeen, and the official sent his men to investigate, but there was no clue about the investigation, and the matter was finally over."

Jiang Fu Yin said to the two of them while walking towards the file room.

"Do you remember how long it has been since the previous group of women disappeared that no one has reported the crime."

"I don't remember this very clearly, but the missing persons in previous years have been recorded, and the date is marked on it, Miss Su can take a look at it later."

Soon the three of them came to the file room of the Kyoto Prefecture, and there was a hut next to it, and the old man Liu, who was guarding the door, saw Lord Fu Yin coming, and hurriedly came out of the hut.

"Your Excellency."

"This is the old Liu Tou who is guarding our government, what do you want to tell him, and he will help you get it."

After Jiang Fu Yin finished speaking to the two, he looked at Lao Liu.

"These two adults are from Dali Temple, you can do whatever they say."

"Yes, sir."

"Let's help find the file of the missing woman here in Kyoto two years ago."

"A few adults, wait a minute, and the little ones will go and find them."

Jiang Fu Yin did not leave at this time, and followed the two to sit in the small room next to them.

"Lord Yu, I don't know if there is any progress in this case?"

This case was transferred from Jiangfu Yin to Dali Temple, and he would care about this case, and it was not surprising that the two of them would be at all.

"There are already some eyebrows, but Dali Temple is still investigating, and the specific case is inconvenient for the official to tell."

Jiang Fu Yin didn't ask anymore when he heard it, he understood.

didn't let a few people wait too long, and soon Lao Liu Tou entered the room with a thick pile of files.

"Several adults, these are the women's files that disappeared from the tenth year of Chengping to the thirteenth year of Chengping, a total of two hundred and thirteen copies."

Looking at the well-preserved dossier on the table in front of him, Su Yu looked up at Lao Liu Tou, this old man looked at his appearance but was careful, the dossier from a few years ago was well preserved.

"Then let's get started."

Su Yu took the top file, Yu Zheng took the bottom one, the two opened it and put it aside, Jiang Fu Yin didn't bother much when he saw it, and he left after explaining Lao Liu's first two sentences.

More than 200 files, Su Yu and Yu Zheng read more than 100 copies alone, it took more than an hour, and when they finished reading the sky was already dark, Lao Liu Tou was waiting respectfully beside him, so that his own adults could send it in person, the origin of the two must be not small, he had to wait for it.

After reading it, Su Yu went through what he had just seen in his mind, and wrote a few lines on the paper with a pen. There was an old Liu Tou next to him, and this was not the place to speak, Su Yu motioned for Yu Zheng to leave.

Lao Liu Tou respectfully sent the two away, and sorted out the files that the two had read before and put them back.

"I just read more than a hundred files, have you noticed that the missing women all have one thing in common."

"You say."

"Except for a few who are very old, most of them are between fourteen and seventeen years old, and if the above remembers correctly, most of the families of those missing women are not wealthy."

To put it bluntly, they can barely make ends meet, so that after someone loses their daughter and reports to the official, the people in the government can't find them and have to admit it, and there is no other room to find someone again.

"I'm the same as you think."
