Chapter 117: Clues (On the Shelf, Ask for the First Order)

A look of confusion flashed in the eyes of the black-clothed landlord, who are they or not?

If it's not them, such a pot can't be carried.

They really did it, and it's not a big deal. They've done something bigger than this, and they don't care anymore.

If they didn't do it, some people wanted to make them take the blame, it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

......

In the night, Li Mu was thinking about the case when he suddenly heard the sound of wind coming from the window. His heart moved, and he was about to make a move, when suddenly a man in black appeared and sat on a chair.

This person was wearing a black veil, and he couldn't see his true face, and he spoke: "I, the black-clothed landlord!"

When he speaks, his voice is neutral, and he can't hear men, women, and children.

Li Mu said: "It turned out to be the owner of the Wind and Rain Building......

This is the first time I have seen the boss of this legendary killer organization, and the Six Gates and the Xuanjing Division have shot many times, trying to kill them all, but they have all failed.

The water of the people is very deep, and some forces may not be as large as the imperial court, but they also have deep local roots, and it is very laborious to dig them out thoroughly.

"The landlord is here, what's the matter?" Li Mu asked.

"The case of the loss of the official bank, we didn't do it, we really did it, we don't care, but we didn't do it, but we didn't want to take the blame!" said the black-clothed building.

"It's not you, who is that?" Li Mu said.

"You are a general judgment, the case needs you to investigate, I am afraid that the investigation will be final, you dare not lift the lid!" The black-clothed landlord sneered: "When you tear the disguise of the peaceful and prosperous world, you will leave a pale and cold side, you have to be careful!"

A gust of wind sounded, and the black-clothed landlord disappeared.

"It's not Fengyu Building, who is it?" Li Mu frowned slightly.

Time is ticking, the case is being investigated, and the search is being made for potential criminals. But it seems that the criminals are very clever, erasing all traces, and for a while no evidence can be found, so that the case has fallen into a state of persistence.

There was no progress in the case, and Li Mu could only investigate from another angle.

In addition to the one million taels of silver that were recovered, four million taels of silver were lost. So much silver was piled up like a small mountain.

So much silver, inexplicably disappeared, how could there be no clues.

Li Mu spread the network, using the power of the underworld and the white way, constantly investigating around, and at the same time, countless big forces are also the focus of attention and monitoring.

The only fortunate thing is that there is no statement that the case will be solved within a time limit, otherwise Li Mudu would have taken the blame and resigned.

"My lord, there is something good!" At this time, Sun Mengxi walked in, and there was joy in his words.

"What happened?" Li Mu said.

"Today in the casino, there is a gambler who is very generous, and one of the silver is official silver, which is the official silver that has been lost. Sun Mengxi said. In his hand, he held up a piece of broken silver, and carved a special mark on the bottom of the silver.

The official silver is used for storage, that is, the tax and fiscal revenue of each province must be engraved with the words or patterns of the official silver logo to facilitate the management of the treasury.

The main purpose of the official bank is military salaries, official salaries, palace use, local construction, disaster relief and other expenditures.

After the official silver is spent to various localities and individuals, the units or individuals who obtain the official silver must dissolve the official silver again to refine new silver ingots or silver nuggets, which is the main source of broken silver.

This also led to fire consumption, which dissolved silver ingots into broken silver, and fire consumption became the main means of corruption among officials and army generals.

"There was a man in the casino who made a lot of money and seemed to have made a fortune recently, but the origin of the property was somewhat unknown. There is also this piece of broken silver, which was cut with a knife, but there are still traces of official silver. ”

"So, I had a little more thought, and went to this person's house to investigate, and found two ingots!"

Li Mu held the broken piece of silver in his hand and observed it carefully.

Official silver is not allowed to circulate among the people, and the best way to use it is to erase the mark on it, cut it into several pieces of silver with a knife, and then use it.

It's just that it's a little unprofessional when cutting with a knife and erasing the marks, and it's easy for a shrewd person to uncover the problem.

So, Shun Teng found it.

"Have you recruited the prisoner?" asked Li Mu.

"Confessions are being extorted under torture, and there is no result yet. Sun Mengxi said.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the arrest of that person was silent and very secretive. There are skilled guards there to prevent the mouth from being extinguished. Sun Mengxi said.

"Let's go, let's go meet the prisoner!" Li Mu said.

When I arrived in the prison, the leather whip was ringing, the fire tongs burning next to it, and all kinds of torture instruments were terrifying, like the hell of Yama.

There are two jailers interrogating, they are both old people, and their interrogation skills are not bad.

When you enter here, whether you recruit or not, you will be beaten first and then talk about anything else.

Li Mu sat aside and watched the interrogation, and didn't say anything.

Many things can be solved by torture, if it doesn't work, then another meal.

"Recruited!

The prisoner said, finally holding on.

Sun Mengxi stepped forward and asked, "Name?"

"Black Demon Xu Qing!"

"Where does the official money come from?"

"I picked it up on the way!"

"Hmph, why can't I pick it up on the road. If you don't tell me honestly, then keep fighting!"

Bang Bang Bang!

It was the sound of a leather whip rattling again.

"Don't fight, don't fight, I really picked it up on the road!"

Li Mu's expression changed slightly, just now he observed the prisoner's expression, heartbeat, breathing, etc., from these subtle observations, what the prisoner said was true, and he really picked it up on the road.

"I picked it up on the road, on which road, and when did I pick it up......," Li Mu said.

"On Chengxi Avenue, Hei Ming is ......"

"Go, go to the place where you have picked up the silver, I hope what you say is true, and if you lie, you will understand what life is better than death. ”

Li Mu said indifferently, got into a carriage, and left quietly.

Soon arrived at the scene of the incident, which was an alley, and the location was very remote.

This person was drunk at night, tripped over silver and fell to the ground, and then accidentally found three ingots, three ingots are equivalent to 150 taels of silver, after making a fortune, he wanted to go out to gamble, but was discovered by Sun Mengxi's dark line.

Li Mu looked at the terrain here again, there is a small wharf about five miles, and this small wharf can quietly transfer some goods.

Sun Mengxi said: "After the robbers robbed the official silver, they poured the official silver into the river, and then drove away in a boat to divert the attention of the officers and soldiers...... Then, at night, the official silver was salvaged in the river and transported to this wharf, along this alley, transporting the official silver, and it may have accidentally dropped a few pieces of silver from the box, which was picked up by this person. ”

"After robbing the silver, what should you do first?" Li Mu suddenly asked.

"Money laundering!" Sun Mengxi said, "is to find a way to turn those improper sources of silver into legal and reasonable, and there is no trace of greasy investigation." ”
