Judging from the fact that the eight killers disappeared after committing murder against the Jin family, they have a secret foothold in Chang'an.

This place of settlement is likely not far from the Zhou family's Zhuangzi, so they can hide from others and sneak into the Zhou family's third-room wife's other village before dawn, and do it after dawn, and feel that they are sure to leave.

After the killers failed to capture or exterminate the people in Beshang, the escapees quickly ran out, and the escape route happened to be the direction from which the reef came. And within five miles before he arrived in Beizhuang, he didn't meet any suspicious people, the weather was cold and it was the agricultural break period, and everyone who was okay nested in the house to keep warm, and would not run out. Reef therefore guesses that the eighth killer is not waiting to be picked up in that area.

This person is most likely still staying in the secret foothold of their group.

Haijiao did not participate in the operation of escorting the murderers to the prefect's yamen, but he knew that the old military division tied these people tightly, gagged them, threw them into the carriage, and sealed them tightly before going on the road, and also reminded the people in the other village, as well as the veterans in charge of escorting, not to talk about this matter, so as not to leak the news and make the eighth person run away.

Under such circumstances, among the seven assassins arrested, six of the killers imprisoned in the government prison could still be exterminated, and someone must have known that they had been caught, and they were afraid that they would confess themselves, so they were poisoned.

Before the murder of the prisoners in the government prison shocked the officialdom of Chang'an, how many people knew the news of the arrest of this group of killers?

The killer died in a heavy prison, which was heavily guarded, and how many people were able to get past the guards to get to this place?

In fact, if the main envoy behind it is Sun Ge Lao's minions in Beijing, as long as he is not caught, there is actually nothing to be afraid of, right? Even if the Zhou family knew that the Sun family had killed people in Chang'an, what could they do with them? And the crime of buying murder in the suburbs of Chang'an doesn't seem to be more serious than killing people in the government prison, right?

Haijiao believes that the so-called mastermind behind this is not necessarily the mastermind behind the killing of the Jin family, but must have led the operation of the killer. He is most likely not an important relative or friend or a powerful ally around Sun Gelao, but also has an industry in Chang'an, which can be used by killers to hide, maybe he is a local official or a wealthy family in Chang'an.

If the dead Jinsen Jinju is really Concubine Xu Xian's ex-husband, and Concubine Xu Xian has always been hostile to the Sun family and Sun Guifei in her previous life, and claimed that the death of her ex-husband and son was related to them, then the eight killers who killed should have been sent to Chang'an by the Sun family. The killer will hide in the property of the mysterious man during his stay in Chang'an, and this person is definitely an ally that the Sun family can trust. What is the Sun family's idea to make such an ally on the Chang'an territory where the entire Zhou family has settled for generations?

If it is said that Sun Ge Lao did not use his allies to insert a knife in the back of the Zhou family, a fool would not believe it, right?

It is very likely that this mysterious person has already made a lot of arrangements in Chang'an, and he is waiting to give the Zhou family a fatal knife.

He knew that once the Zhou family found out what bad things he had done, they would never spare him, and the Sun family would not be able to protect him, so he would take the risk of going to the government prison to kill him.

And the fact that he was able to reach into the government prison also proves that his local power cannot be underestimated.

The Zhou family may not know about his existence.

In the last life, the Zhou family lost the children of the family in high positions one after another in the next few years, also because they ignored this person, right?

Haijiao analyzed it for a long time before saying to Haitang: "It's such a reason, but what will the government find out, I can't interfere at all, so I can only find a way to get the news from my grandfather or cousin and Grandpa Zhuang." But over there, I can still go and investigate. Jin Jiashu is recuperating from his injuries in Beizhuang, how did the news leak? And how did the killers get their hands on his yard? Could it be that even the Zhou family's Zhuangzi has the eyes and ears of the Sun family's allies? This is not to be overlooked, I have to find out. ”

Haitang approved his plan and said: "There is a large population on the Zhou family Zhuangzi side, and it is difficult to say whether anyone has leaked the news, but it should be okay on the other side of the village." If the killers could find out Jin Jiashu's residence from the mouths of the people in Beizhuang, after they sneaked into the village overnight, there was no need to wait until dawn to find the correct location, it was estimated that they would need to look for his traces from room to room overnight, so as to delay until after dawn. ”

Haijiao nodded and sighed, "If only Jin Jiashu could be more honest with me. Obviously they are all outsiders, why is he so well-behaved and obedient in front of the old military master and Uncle Xie, he is very wary of me, and he refuses to say a word? I didn't do anything to him in the first place, did I? It's just that he has revealed the secret hidden in his robe. If we hadn't exposed this in the first place, and he continued to hide it from everyone, Uncle Cousin would not have found the old military division of the nearby Zhuangzi, and the old military division would not have sent people to protect him. When the killer comes to the door to kill him, how can he escape? He should thank me! I saved his life, and yesterday I helped catch the man who was going to kill him! ”

Haitang couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Haijiao's depressed face: "When my brother arrives in front of Jin Jiashu, speak with a better attitude, don't force him too hard." If he had already relented in front of his cousin and the Zhou family, and refused to tell us these outsiders, it would be human nature. The key is to make him understand for himself how dangerous his situation is, and stop pushing people who can help him out. If he had been a wise man, as his brother had said, he should have been able to tell who he could trust. We're not trying to get into his privacy, we're just trying to find out what information is necessary. ”

Haijiao nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's it." ”

Once the clues were cleared, the reef began to act.

He had to run to Beizhuang almost every day, and he only said that he was visiting Jin Jiashu, but in fact, he only spent one-third of his time pestering the other party, trying to find out the news from the other party's mouth. The remaining two-thirds of his time was spent chatting with people from Beizhuang and the nearby Zhou family Zhuangzi.

Aunt Ma's husband Ma Li and son Ma Changnian probably knew that their family was going to be transferred by the housemother to their aunt Ma's relationship, and they also helped Haijiao a lot.

In less than two days, the reef was known. Zhuangzi, where the veterans of the Zhou family live nearby, still maintains the style of the army, and the internal control is very strict. When the Jin family had an accident that day, the veterans searched for the killer everywhere under the command of the old military attachés, and kept their mouths shut in private, never revealing the current residence of the survivors of the Jin family. Even where the gold and silver belongings of the Jin family scattered at the scene of the murder are temporarily kept, no outsiders know.

It's cold these days, and it's not the New Year's Day, and no one in the families of the veterans in the village has gone to visit their relatives.

But some people went to Zhou's Zhuangzi to visit relatives.

Among them, there was a half-grown teenager who was curious about the phenomenon of people going to Zhou Ma's village in Zhou's village, and asked around. However, the person who was asked only said that he had gone to relatives, and did not disclose Jin Jiashu's name. There were already a lot of veterans of the Zhou family's three-room residence in the Zhou Ma family's village, and the two Zhuangzi had close contact with each other every day, so there was nothing strange about this kind of thing.

So this half-grown boy also followed his new friends in Zhou's Zhuangzi to Zhou Ma's Village to play. The control of the village is relatively relaxed, and it is estimated that some people mentioned the aunt's family who came to borrow the night before, as well as the young man rescued by the aunt and the young master.

This happened on the day the Hai family left Beshang.

Ma Li asked all the veterans of the Zhou family Zhuangzi he knew, and Ma Changnian also asked about another small village nearby, that is, the Zhuangzi of Zhuang Tong's old friend, and no one knew whose relatives this half-grown boy was. Some people think they know his identity, but when they corroborate each other, they find that they are all misunderstandings.

So who is this half-grown boy?
