"Do me a favor, we need all the files on missing persons cases in the last few years"

"Adults, please take a seat, and small ones will pick them up right away."

It didn't take long for the other party to return, and Xia Zhi looked at the four files in front of him, and his face changed sharply

"Bold, you dare to tease me? Four people have disappeared in the entire Wan'an City in the past few years? ”

"My lord, don't you know, the place where the file was stored five days ago was flooded, and the file was burned, and these four copies were sent in the past few days."

"Take the official to see it"

"Yes, sir, please"

Soon after, the summer solstice face sank like water when he walked out of the place where the file was stored, and his heart was heavy.

It was indeed a fire, but it was burned in the area where the missing person files were kept, is it too coincidental?

And they're so efficient, it's been refreshed and cleaned.

"How long have you been in charge of this place?"

"Back to the adults, the little ones have just been here for three days"

"Just you?"

"Yes"

"There are a lot of substitutions here? Or did they change because they went out of the water."

"Because of the water"

"Where did your last one go?"

"Originally, he was going to be sent to a far away place, but that guy actually hanged himself at home, just three days ago"

Not a drop of water! This is an internal person who is planning to arrange everything, just to destroy the file,

Being able to do this shows that his identity is not simple.

"The adults will watch slowly, and the small ones will make tea for the adults."

Seeing Xia Zhi sit down and start reading the file, the little official hurriedly offered his courtesy and trotted out.

The missing persons recorded in the four files were all around 10 years old, and the cases all occurred a month ago.

"Goon--- hey, damn old man, why did you put the bucket here?"

"What's going on?"

"Don't blame the adults, it's the small one who didn't pay attention when he walked, and kicked the bucket that the old pangtou put around, and the small one will go and make tea again for you"

"No need, ask a few more words and leave"

"Yes"

"These files are all cases that happened a month ago, and they are all marked with no clues on file.

Does it mean that these cases are not investigated? ”

"The adults forgive their sins, the little ones have just arrived in office for three days, and they don't know very well"

Don't ask anything else if you have ---, I guess this guy still doesn't know anything.

Xia Zhi frowned and closed his eyes, but suddenly opened his eyes to look at the date of occurrence and archiving of each file.

Each file was archived exactly one month after the incident.

Is this the rule that one month will be archived without results?

If so, is the time limit too short? It's not very reasonable!

"Let's go, go back to the yamen"

Wan'an City is the base camp of Tsing Yi Wei, and it is unlikely that this kind of thing will not attract the attention of Tsing Yi Wei.

Maybe there are some useful clues there.

Walking out of the yamen of Wan'an Mansion, Xia Zhi's pace slowed down, and he felt as if he was missing something.

"Brother Huo, who in the yamen would forget the bucket by the aisle?"

"You also have to boil water to cook in the yamen, it should be a handyman in the house, right?"

"No--- wells are usually chosen next to the house, so it shouldn't be, I know, it's the handyman in charge of sprinkling and sweeping."

Xia Zhi's eyes lit up and he whispered, and then his voice was hurried

"Brother Huo, do you have any trustworthy acquaintances in the Yamen of Wan'an Mansion?"

"There is an old man, I once saved his son, but he is a lowly ---"

"You don't need much of a high status, go, go find him now"

The old servant was very happy to see Huoda, and the summer solstice was straight to the point

"We want to know who has been in charge of sprinkling and sweeping the files in the place where the government has kept the files in recent years."

"That's a coincidence, I really know this, because I used to have a good relationship with him.

often drink together, but I don't know what the reason was a few years ago, his temperament suddenly changed,

I don't like to communicate with people anymore, and I often drink alone, so our contact is gradually broken."

"What's his name? Have you been there all the time? ”

"Everyone calls him Lao Pangtou, and he's been doing it all his life"

Sure enough, it was him, Xia Zhi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked

"Do you know where he lives?"

"It seems that --- lives in the south of the city......

"Summer solstice, this old man?"

"These disappearances are not simple, there are people in the Yamen of Wan'an Mansion who are helping these bandits,

The walking of the water and the self-hanging of the officials involved in the case may have been deliberately done by someone.

So we can't blatantly investigate, that will make the other side vigilant and destroy more clues and evidence.

The most inconspicuous thing in the government is the miscellaneous servant, and this old pangtou will definitely be able to provide us with some useful clues."

"But Yingzi is a girl, I'm afraid of --- after a long time"

"Brother Huo, all roads lead to ---"

Feeling that he had lost his words again, Xia Zhi hurriedly changed his words

"Brother Huo doesn't need to be in a hurry, as long as there are clues, they will definitely not be able to run.

This kind of mass abduction must be the work of a large organization with strict rules.

Yingzi will be fine in a short time."

"I hope so!"

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the dilapidated and sloppy room, and a huddled figure lay on the tattered couch and clothes.

"Ahem"

Xia Solstice coughed lightly and reminded twice, and the figure on the couch got up lazily,

He looked at the two dark shadows in front of him through the dim moonlight, and his tone was indifferent and not afraid

"Coming to kill the mouth?"

Xia Zhi's heart moved, and he immediately raised his hand and put it on Huoda's shoulder, he was afraid that Huoda would speak at this time.

"I knew that sooner or later there would be this day, how did I plan to die? Is it also self-hanging? ”

After a long time of not getting a response, the other party's lazy voice disappeared

"Who the hell are you?"

It's a pity that people are old but not stupid.

I don't know how much he knows, and I can't let him continue to misunderstand and say more.

The fire fold lights up, and the summer solstice directly identifies itself

"This official supervision yuan supervises the imperial history, and I am looking for you if I have something"

"The villain sees the adult, please command"

The other party hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, with a hint of apprehension in his voice.

"What did you do? Someone will come and kill you."

"Adults forgive sins, that's the villain greedy cup talking nonsense"

"Be bold and dare to deceive us"

Xia Zhi waved his hand at Huoda and smiled, not angry, and said calmly

"You know that you may be killed but don't run away, it seems that you know that you will definitely not be able to escape,

But since the official came to the door and couldn't get what I wanted, can the official rest with you? ”

"Adult ---"

"If you can't satisfy the official, the official will go to the yamen tomorrow morning with the official document to send you a message.

Do you think they choose to believe that you can keep your mouth shut, or do they --- kill you? ”

"Hehe, it seems that Xiao Lao'er's death can't be avoided"

"Just tell the official everything, and the official will keep you from dying"

"Hehe--- do you have any wine?"

"Not now, after saying everything you know, I'll ask you to drink enough"

"That's what you said"

"Hmm"

"It's been almost ten years! At that time, a couple of masked men came directly here and took me away.

But although they cover their faces, they don't seem to want to hide their official status.

I was brought before a man who was richly dressed and had his back to me, but with a majestic voice, and was clearly a big man,

He told me to either be obedient or die right away, and then gave me a task:

After receiving the notice, he used seemingly unexpected methods such as walking water or rain to destroy all the files of the government office on missing persons.

As a result, every once in a while, there would be an accident where the files were stored, and some of the files would be destroyed.

Then the officials in charge of managing the file would be sent to distant places, but it seems that these officials eventually met with accidents. ”

It was carefully arranged, and all the factors that could be exposed were extinguished.

This is a big case, Xia Zhi frowned.
