Chapter 172: A Chance Encounter with Maolin
Shen Chaixing listened to the introduction of the neighbor's buddy and asked, "After such a big case, who will the government send to investigate the case?"
After hearing this, the guy said secretly: "Normally, such a case should be investigated by the arrest of Anqing Mansion, the case was committed late at night, and when we opened at dawn, there were already Jinyi guards from Jingshi coming in and out, and a seal was affixed." Recalling the scene at that time, the guy still admired: "I didn't expect that a small medicine hall actually alarmed the Jinyiwei of the Jingshi, and it came so quickly, committing the crime at night, and the Jinyiwei had already finished the case in the morning." ”
Shen Chaixing casually stuffed some broken silver into his hand and gave it to the guy, and then left in a hurry with Linglong'er, and the guy was very grateful.
While the two were walking, Linglonger saw that Shen Chasing Xing was not going to the inn where he was, but walking to a deserted place on the edge of the city, and she wondered, and thought that Shen Chasing Xing might have to walk around, so she could change her mind and think about the problem in front of her, so she didn't stop it.
"What does it mean that you said that Jinyiwei appeared 'in time' in this case?" Shen Chaixing said as he walked, as if he was asking Linglong'er, and seemed to be talking to himself again.
"Momen was originally a thorn in the side of the imperial court, could it be that this tragedy was committed by the imperial court at the behest of Jinyiwei?" Linglong'er replied.
"It is also possible that Mr. Gong is behind the secret organization, and Jin Yiwei just came to investigate the case. Linglong'er made a second guess.
"There is a third possibility, which is the joint action of the secret organization and Jinyiwei, they are the same dog. Shen Chaixing analyzed Linglong'er, and at the same time, he was also clarifying his own thoughts. As the acting giant of Momen, the tragic case of the Momen rudder being picked in Anqing Town, he Shen Chaixing has an unshirkable responsibility, first of all, he must find out the reason, who is the murderer? Why do you want to deal with Momen? Finally, and most importantly, he Shen Chaixing must kill all the murderers who dare to challenge Momen, whether it is to make an example or to take revenge, Shen Chaixing must deal with this incident with thunderbolt means. Shen Chaixing suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy, and he realized that those who usually looked high and above might have been under tremendous psychological pressure behind his glamorous appearance, but it was not enough for outsiders.
Shen Chaixing concluded: "To sort out these ideas, we need to find a way to see the official verdict on the case. If it is determined to be an ordinary vendetta, it means that the secret organization and Jinyiwei are secretly colluding. If it is determined to be a case of Momen conspiracy, there are two more possibilities??????"
Shen Chaixing said as he pulled Linglong'er into a nearby alley, and when he saw that there was no one around, he glanced at Linglong'er, grabbed Linglong'er's little hand, rose into the air, and flew behind the eaves on one side.
After a while, a man with a low brim hanging down to cover his face followed, and when he saw that there was no one in the alley, he was stunned on the spot, thinking about it, and suddenly pulled his legs and ran forward, as if he was chasing someone again.
"Hula ?????" After a burst of clothes breaking through the air, Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er held blades and blocked the front and back of the man.
Shen Chaixing said coldly: "Friend, I'm following, it's time to show your face!" With that, he reached out and grabbed the door in front of the man.
Who knew that the man didn't wait for Shen Chaxing's palm to catch it, he took off his hat and said in a low voice: "Brother Chasing, it's me!"
When Shen Chaixing saw him, he was overjoyed, and Linglong'er behind him also heard his voice, and asked in surprise, "Is it Brother Maolin?"
The person who came was Ye Maolin, the eldest son of the Ye family in Suzhou who followed Sima Jiandong. Ye Maolin said happily: "I have been secretly watching Shengyuantang for a long time, and I am very happy to see the two of them in a few days, but the street is not a place to meet, so I want to wait until a secluded place to come out and see each other, I don't want to be seen through by Brother Shen, I am really ashamed, it seems that my tracking technique is not mature." ”
Shen Chaixing boasted: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, looking at Brother Maolin's eyes, not only is his martial arts great, but his tracking skills are also very good, at least I didn't recognize you." ”
When Ye Maolin heard this, he said happily: "Then I haven't planted it yet." My tracking technique was taught by Sima Jiandong. Sima said that most people will have a fixed rhythm and stride length when walking, and the angle of body shaking is not the same, so you must change your usual walking habits when you want to make up and track, otherwise, you will be recognized at a glance when you meet a master. ”
Shen Chaixing sighed: "No wonder every time I turn around, I still think I see the wrong person." You must know that with my familiarity with Brother Ye, I should be able to tell at a glance that it is yours. ”
Ye Maolin said with a smile: "I'm ashamed, I've developed a habit now, as long as I go out and follow others, I will unconsciously change my walking habits, but I forgot that I don't have to hide it from the two of you!"
The three of them became friends at that time because they got acquainted with each other and recognized each other's character on the "Fish Fish" ship, but they were all entangled in important things at that time, so they went their separate ways, and today they reunited here, and the reunion of the old people was, of course, they were surprised and delighted.
Shen Chaixing originally had the intention of seeking Sima Jiandong's help, but now that Ye Maolin is here, will Sima Jiandong be far away?
The three of them went out of the alley, deliberately found a tavern with bad business and no one patronized, and asked for a private room in the room.
After coming up with the wine and food, Shen Chaixing told the store not to wait, so he asked Ye Maolin carefully.
The friends reunited, and Ye Maolin also gushed endlessly. It turned out that after Shen Chasing Xing Linglong'er left the "Yu Yan" that day, Ye Maolin was so impressed by Sima Jiandong's miraculous skills in solving the case that he had to worship Sima Jiandong as his teacher.
Sima saw that Ye Maolin was impeccable in both character and martial arts, so he accepted Ye Maolin as an assistant and apprentice, but insisted on commensurate with his peers, and the provinces were embarrassed by each other. Ye Maolin also readily agreed, both of them are sincere and free people, and they get along with each other very well.
When it comes to the Shengyuantang tragedy here, Ye Maolin seems to have reservations, and he is a little secretive.
Shen Chaixing knew why Ye Maolin was hiding something, so he tentatively made a gesture of greeting in the ink door. After Ye Maolin saw it, he hurriedly returned to Momen etiquette.
Seeing this, Shen Chaixing played the unique etiquette of the Momen giant, Ye Maolin was taken aback, revealing an unbelievable look, and then he was about to give Shen Chaixing a big salute, but Shen Chaixing stopped him and said: "There are no outsiders here, there is no need to be constrained by etiquette, besides, I am also the temporary acting giant." Then let Ye Maolin tell the whole thing.
It turned out that after a period of investigation, Sima Jiandong saw that Ye Maolin was an upright person and agreed with the concept of Momen, so he pulled him into Momen and asked the person who was at the helm of Momen in Beijing to be a witness.
When Sima Jiandong received the news of the attack on Anqing Momen, the case and the past few days had passed, and everything about the case was firmly sealed by Jinyiwei, and Sima's power in the Criminal Department could not be inquired, so he had to investigate privately.
Shen Chaixing asked, "Then what clues have been found?"
Ye Maolin shook his head and said: "There are no direct clues, the case happened in the middle of the night, and the Jinyi guard rushed to the scene before dawn, and after careful searching, he took away all the clues, including the corpse and other relevant ledgers and other written materials." Then all traces were eliminated. ”
Shen Chaixing asked again: "Is this case characterized? Is it a Momen rebellion case?"
Ye Maolin said: "That's not it." Jin Yiwei claimed that it was only handled as an ordinary homicide. Alas, I have been looking at it for many days, but I have not found any useful clues. ”
Linglong'er persuaded: "Brother Maolin, you still haven't looked at it in vain, at least you can see us." ”
Shen Chaixing smiled and said, "No, you have already confirmed one of the clues. ”
Ye Mao Linqi said: "What did I confirm?"
"Jin Yiwei," Shen Chaixing explained, "The clue to this case is Jin Yiwei." I wonder who came here to investigate the case?"
"This matter is indeed strange, the person in charge of this case is Jiang Yulin, the son of Jiang Huan, the commander of Jinyi Weidu. It stands to reason that Anqing's case doesn't need to use him. ”
"That's because Jiang Huan couldn't come in person, and Jiang Huan didn't dare to make some things public, so he sent his son here. Shen Chaixing analyzed, "Now that the clues are there, Jinyiwei - Jiang Huan - Jiang Yulin." That's the obvious clue. ”
Linglong'er asked, "Brother Maolin, where did Sima Jiandong go, is he also in Anqing City?" Shen Chaixing knew that Linglong'er wanted to use Sima's power to find Ouyang Qianqian, so he paid attention to Ye Maolin's answer.
And Ye Maolin's answer was unexpected by the two: "Of course Sima Jiandong is not here, he has returned to Beijing in a hurry." Don't you know? Jingshi's Momen rudder 'Jiangdong Restaurant' also suffered heavy losses, and in addition to a few dead and wounded, the whereabouts of the main palace Baoshan of Momen rudder are unknown. ”
Shen Chaixing hurriedly explained to Ye Maolin that a friend of his disappeared in the Dabie Mountains, and he and Linglong'er had been looking for three months, so they didn't know anything about the outside.
Ye Maolin came to his senses and said, "I thought you were here just now to investigate this case, so what should you do next?" Shen Chaixing's identity at this time was the temporary giant of Momen, and of course Ye Maolin had to listen to his opinion.
"Since Jingshi's Momen was also attacked, and Gong Baoshan was nowhere to be found, plus our clue - Jinyiwei - Jiang Yulin is in Jingshi, then the next step should be to rush to Jingshi as soon as possible, and try to meet Sima Jiandong and make a perfect plan. The blood of the people of my Momen shall not be shed in vain. Shen Chaixing said it lightly, but Linglong'er and Ye Maolin heard the hidden killing sound from it, it seems that Shen Chaixing is really angry, and this trip to Beijing will set off another bloody storm.
At this moment, Shen Chaixing's mind came to the picture of Jiang Yulin leading people to besiege Daddy Shen Heng in his hometown in Xiangxi, if it wasn't for this Jiang Yulin, Shen Chaixing and Daddy might still be living happily in a paradise and enjoying the joy of family. It stands to reason that Shen Chaixing has already arrived in Jingshi and can kill Jiang Yulin if he has a chance, and with his current martial arts, one can do it. But reason told him that Jiang Yulin was just an appearance, and the secret organization hidden in the depths was a terrible enemy. Shen Chaixing warned himself that Momen was in danger now, and he could not easily kill Jiang Yulin in order to avenge himself. Perhaps, the living Jiang Yulin is the key to open the door of this secret.
