After Zhang Shan completed the task assigned by Shen Lian, he immediately brought people to the Ministry of Industry to meet him.

Shen Lian looked at him in a panic, his face was also ugly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Zhang Baihu, what did you find?" Shen Lian asked.

"Hey, Lord Shen, I'm afraid this matter is a bit troublesome." Zhang Shan picked up the teacup on Shen Lian's table, didn't care that Shen Lian had used it, and drank it all.

Looking at Zhang Shan's shriveled lips, Shen Lian hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured him another cup.

"Thank you." After thanking him, Zhang Shan drank it all again.

"Lord Shen, I checked the relevant roster, according to the division of tasks of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, after the ceremony, a total of seventy-two messengers from different yamen will be responsible for the finishing work, involving the Ministry of Rites, the Master of Ceremonies, Yu Linwei, Jin Wuwei and so on." Zhang Shan's tone was impatient.

Shen Lian listened carefully and did not interrupt Zhang Shan, and at the same time did not feel that there was anything wrong.

Each has its own division of labor, which is normal.

But Zhang Shan's next words made Shen Lian feel a chill down his spine.

"Of the 72 people, 71 are no longer visible, either killed at the time of the explosion or disappeared afterwards." Zhang Shan said with a grim face.

What?

Shen Lian's eyes widened, could it be that he was silenced?

"What about the rest of the one? Who is it? Shen Lian hurriedly asked.

"Yulin Wei Baihu, Zhang Lin." As he spoke, Zhang Shan took out a dossier and handed it to Shen Lian, "This is Zhang Lin's personal information, Lord Shen has seen it." ”

"Zhang Lin? I think I've heard the name. Shen Lian stretched out his hand to take the file and opened it to check it.

Zhang Lin, Yulin Wei Baihu, is responsible for the security of the west gate of the inner city, and there are ten general flags and forty-three small flags under his hands.....

It turned out to be him! I remember!

Shen Lian's whole body was shocked!

This Zhang Lin was the superior of the dead Yulinwei Xiaoqi Wang Gang, and he went to Yulinwei Yamen with Yu Jingting to ask this person at that time.

The small flag under his hand was suspected of being involved in the incident and was killed at home; And now that he is involved in this matter again, how could it be so coincidental.

Wang Gang is only a small banner, and he can't completely control the inspection when entering and exiting the city gate, but what if it is a hundred households, or even the entire hall entrance, that is bought?

"Among the seventy-one people who died or went missing, are there any subordinates of this hundred households?" Shen Lian looked at Zhang Shan and asked.

Zhang Shan nodded and said, "According to what I have checked, among the people who died on the spot when the explosion occurred, seven of them were Zhang Lin's subordinates, who were originally in charge of guarding the West City Gate, but for some reason they appeared near the altar at that time. ”

"Quick! Arrest Zhang Lin immediately! Zhang Baihu, you take my gold medal and go to Yulin Wei Yamen to arrest people, Jin Yuze, you take people to Zhang Lin's house with me to arrest people! Zhou Tianlu, you lead people to the West City Gate! ”

Shen Lian was shocked, the matter was too obvious, this Zhang Lin Baihu must be involved, and he is the only surviving person involved in the case, so he must be controlled as soon as possible.

Shen Lian suddenly gave an order, and Jin Yuze and the others didn't react for a while, but they were all veterans of handling cases, and they came back to their senses in a few breaths.

Zhang Lin has a big problem!

The reason why the soldiers are divided into three ways is the experience of Shen Lian's previous life.

At present, I don't know whether Zhang Lin is on a bad day or resting, or hiding at home, and he must fire three arrows at the same time.

Yulin Wei Yamen is an important place, so let the most experienced Zhang Shan go with the gold medal.

It is the least difficult to get people at the city gate, not to mention handling the Qin case, even with the Qilin suit of the shadow secret guard can also deter the Yulin Guard here, so Shen Lian sent Zhou Tianlu to take people there.

Zhang Lin's family lived in the outer city, and when Shen Lian arrived with people, it was already half an hour later.

The courtyard of the two entrances is not big or small, and it just meets the identity of Zhang Lin's hundred households.

The vermilion gate was closed, and there was no sound in the courtyard.

Under Shen Lian's hint, Jin Yuze stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Bang bang."

"Bang bang."

"Open the door! Shadow Secret Guard handles the case! Open the door! ”

Jin Yuze shouted while patting.

There was still no movement inside.

Shen Lian's face gradually became gloomy.

"Go over the wall and get in!"

He said to the subordinates around him.

"Yes."

At this moment, the vermilion wooden door creaked and slowly opened.

A scrawny old man walked out slowly, bowed to Shen Lian, and said, "My lord is angry, the old slave has bad legs and feet, and his ears are back, so he came a little late." ”

"Shadow Secret Guard investigates the case, where is your master?" Jin Yuze stood next to the old man and scolded.

"My lord is sick and is resting in bed, so it's inconvenient to see guests, so please go back to a few adults." The old man said respectfully.

"Fart! The shadow secret guard catches people, and does it matter if you are sick or not? Lead the way, or we'll catch you like a tooth eater! Jin Yuze burst out, kicked the slightly open door wide, and immediately led people to rush in.

Shen Lian followed unhurriedly.

Two small flags carried up the old man and entered together.

The courtyard was empty and quiet, and it didn't look like it was inhabited at all.

"Where is Zhang Lin?" Jin Yuze took out his saber and put it on the old man's neck.

The first time he looked at him from outside the door, Jin Yuze was sure that the old man had something to hide.

"Old... The old slave didn't know. ”

"Huh, I don't know? Come on, pull out all his fingernails for me first! Jin Yuze glared angrily and said viciously.

A small flag behind him immediately stepped forward, pulled the old man and pressed him to the ground, grabbed a small pair of pliers from his sleeve, and was about to forcibly pull out the old man's nails.

This is the style of handling cases of the shadow secret guard, the torture equipment is carried with you, and if you don't cooperate, you will use the torture first.

Shen Lian could also see that the old man's eyes were evasive, and he knew that he was lying.

Although Shen Lian didn't agree with Jin Yuze's direct punishment, he didn't stop it immediately.

Scare this old man first, maybe he will be recruited, Shen Lianxin said.

Sure enough, when the old man saw that the other party was coming to be real, he immediately shouted, "My lord, spare my life, I say, I say, don't pull out my nails." ”

Xiaoqi looked at Jin Yuze, who waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

"Say, where is Zhang Lin?"

Jin Yuze kicked the old man.

"My lord went out of the city to visit relatives." The old man said.

"Out of town?" Jin Yuze was taken aback, "When did you leave?" ”

"I've been walking for about half an hour." The old man knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"Why didn't you say that just now?" Shen Lian stepped forward and asked.

"When my lord left, he told me that if anyone looked for him, he would say that he was seriously ill and bedridden." The old man didn't dare to look at Shen Lian and lay on the ground.

"Which city gate did Zhang Lin leave from? Where to go? Shen Lian asked.

"I walked from the east gate, saying that I was going back to my hometown Taizhou." The old man replied.

"Put him in the Tooth Eater Prison and wait for him to be released, and if you dare to lie to me, you will bear the consequences."

When he heard this, the old man panicked.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives."

Shen Lian is angry, Zhang Lin is the only clue he has to solve the case at present, if this guy is allowed to escape, the case cannot be solved, and he will leave the capital incognito to go to the rivers and lakes.

And the old man happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

"This is very close to the east gate of the outer city, let's go over and ask Jin Wuwei on duty, if Zhang Lin really leaves from the east gate, it won't be far away."

Shen Lian took out a small flag and escorted the old man back to the Shadow Secret Guard's Yamen, and then took the others and hurried to the East City Gate.
