Chapter 277: A Killer Who Lives Up to His Name
Shao Dianmi frowned and looked at the four corpses that were neatly placed, "Director Cui, this is not the scene of the crime, it is difficult for you to avoid suspicion when you do this."
Cui Shuogan laughed a few times and said, "In order to prevent them from colluding confessions, they were detained in four cells, and there were other prisoners in the cells, so we had to transfer the bodies here."
We were able to ascertain that there was no blood on the other prisoners and that they could not have murder weapons, that the lock on the cell door had not been picked, that no outsiders had been found in all the passages of the cell, that the jailer on duty had not found an intruder, and that all posts had remained awake and had not been attacked. ”
The head of the Intelligence Hall, Nian Hei, couldn't help but sneer: "It wasn't the prisoner who did it, the jailer didn't do it, and there were no outsiders, and there was not even a murder weapon, let alone suicide." Except for these four people who died mysteriously, nothing else has happened in the prison of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, so how can we investigate. ”
"Isn't your young heir claiming that there is nothing you don't know? Geng Jie opened his mouth to help his chief officer speak.
"Alright, Nian, let your men examine the corpse and see if there are any clues. "Shao Dianmi knows that there will be no results if the discussion in this direction continues, and only the most difficult cases will be handed over to the spy department.
The people from the Legal Department all exited the room, leaving only the people from the Espionage Department busy.
After the coroner and several colleagues discussed, he secretly reported to Shaodian: "My lord, these four people were shot through the throat with a sharp blade, and they were killed with one blow, and the four wounds were exactly the same, so it can be determined that the same person used the same murder weapon to commit it. ”
After listening to the coroner's words, he said: "According to Director Cui's description, the murderer should have used a kind of flying knife or flying sword, tied a rope to the end of the knife, and then took back the murder weapon after hitting the target. ”
"Who did it?" Shao Dianmi couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart.
Zhe Sheng and Nian Hei glanced at each other, but they were silent.
How people die is known, but no one can say who did it.
"You," Shaodian secretly pointed to the young heir, "Say it, I don't blame you for making a mistake." ”
"Yes, assuming that the people in the Ministry of Legal Affairs did not lie, the murderer must be an experienced killer with careful planning and clean methods, and I am afraid that the master of the hall is much inferior to him.
The murderer was able to accurately find these four people who were very related to each other among the sleeping prisoners, and he must have obtained detailed information in advance, so it was inferred that this time he was buying a homicide case.
The four deceased were all officials of the Department of Water Affairs, and all of them pointed out that the former Secretary of Water Affairs, An Chang, had taken bribes, and it was very likely that An Chang hired killers to sneak into the prison and kill them to vent their anger. "The inference of the heir is not far from the truth.
"Actually, it's not difficult to kill people, but it's very clever to do it quietly, and I really can't do that. "Zhesheng had to take it.
"An Chang was just a water secretary before, does the water department really have so much oil and water? It costs at least 200,000 gold coins to hire a top killer in China. It is the first time I have heard of breaking into the prison of the Ministry of Legal Affairs and assassinating me, and who will take this job without a million gold coins.
Nian Hei, how many killers in China have such a big appetite and this kind of strength? Will these four people affect the heavyweights in China? Will this case involve foreign forces?"
"The four dead are far from being able to reach the big names in the country, even if the big men in the country want to do it, they can't afford to spend so much, they have a hundred ways to kill a few prisoners in the big prison, and we can't track it down.
There is no indication of which Congress is involved in these four people, and foreign forces will not let them have a chance to enter the prison of the Ministry of Legal Affairs.
If you don't count that person, there are no more than three killers on our known list, and the last time they were seen near the capital was five or six years ago.
As for whether Anchang has so much money, it's really hard to say. The bribery case of the Water Affairs Department will not be investigated halfway through the investigation by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and there is no doubt that Anchang will involve heavyweights. "The young heir in charge of the intelligence can give accurate analysis.
"Then check Anchang, and Cui Shuo, even if it is the matter of the ancestors three generations ago, check it for me. However, you must pay attention to confidentiality, especially when it comes to big shots, and you must not leak it out. "Shaodian has the right to directly conspire with the king, and he dares to investigate anyone who is detrimental to the king's interests.
The Ministry of Legal Affairs and the Department of Espionage were in a state of turmoil, and General Shi stayed safely in the Ding Mansion as his worship.
"Lord Enshrined, your hands are beautiful. I heard that there is no one in the city who is willing to go to Anchang's house to work as a helper, even if a dog passes by the gate of Anfu, he will be questioned for a long time, and anyone in An's family will be stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes when he goes out. This time, Anchang was completely unable to be at peace. Zhong Wei knows the true identity of General Shi, but he usually has a very strict tone, and he never reveals anything about his title.
"The people in the Council are just useless, they think that the most heavily guarded place is like a broken sieve, and everyone can go in and walk around. Shi Jiang looked extremely disdainful.
Zhong Wei couldn't help but sneer: Of course you can come and go freely, how many other people can be like you? I can't go in and walk around, am I not human?
"Recently, there have been more people asking about you, but they are all low-level spies, and they don't dare to ask if you scare them. Zhong Wei didn't dare to be overbearing in the capital, but he still maintained the arrogance of a veteran ruffian in the face of low-level officials.
"Well, I have to go out and walk around openly, and the worship of the Protector Mansion will not be unpleasant. "Shi will decide to challenge the people who followed him back then.
Ding Kui heard about the prison of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, and asked the old man in private: "Uncle Jiang won't get rid of it, right? ”
"If the old guys in the spy department don't come out, those little cubs can't catch the young generals, and the death of a prisoner in the prison will not attract the attention of the upper echelons. Without the connivance from above, the kingdom's underworld would have perished.
Some dirty work always needs to be done, and if you clean up the people who walk in the dark, those transactions that are not on the table will be exposed, which is something that no one wants to see.
Young master, don't worry, the young general has been by the master's side for a few years, and he will do things in a measured way, and if he makes some small moves with his strength, no one can find out. "The old money man is talking about ordinary people.
After all, there are not many archers in the Shaodian Kingdom, and those places where felons are imprisoned have the arrangement of archers, such as the heavenly prison of the Commander's Mansion, the secret prison of the Espionage Division, and the water prison of the Senate. This kind of tightly guarded place is not a place where Shi will be able to break through, and there is also a place where high-level combat power may appear, and if you "ask for your life" to go, you will lose your life.
The 706th National Young Knights Tournament is scheduled to open on October 8, 4871, and King Shaodian Dan will ring the gong for the opening of the competition.
Another blockbuster news ignited the enthusiasm of the people to watch the game.
The king's affairs are busy, and not every knight tournament can find time to preside over the gong ringing. Shao Dian Dan succeeded to the throne for 16 years, during which a total of five knight competitions were held, and in the past, he would take time to watch one or two games at most, but now he is the first time to preside over the gong.
The draw on Oct. 6 drew even more attention as to who would be drawn in the first game of the first group, which was held at the venue where the King struck the gong.
Fuji Yan also came to Zhenjing City, and after reading the announcement of the Knights' Association, he rushed to the Protector's Mansion as soon as possible.
"There's a good chance you'll get the first game. Teng Yan suppressed his excitement and said to Ding Kui, you must know that if Ding Kui draws the first game, his name of Teng Yan will have a chance to be mentioned in front of the king.
"Lord, I'm afraid this is not a good thing, maybe the knights will always arrange Shao Dian Fei to fight this first game, then I will suffer a lot? The first in the ten state competitions, the most difficult of which is Shao Dian Fei, I have no chance of winning at all. Ding Kui's words calmed down Teng Yan.
"I hear you say that, you have a chance to win against the top players in other states. Fuji Yan tasted another excitement.
Ding Kui can kill the first place in a state competition, and there is a great hope for the top ten in the national competition, and the name of the president of the Pingzhong County Knight Guild Teng Yan is bound to be famous throughout the country. A medium-sized county town has a national top ten, and there have not been a few times in more than 700 knight competitions.
"I have the confidence to fight the opponents below the shield breaker, according to the previous practice, the probability of three or two shield breakers in the national competition is very high, whether my signing can avoid these strong players, it depends on luck. After his recent cultivation, Ding Kui's self-confidence is increasing.
"Well, the more skilled states are, the more cautious they are, they don't want to have variables in the group, and you are tenth in this state because you gave up the final, which has long been rated as the biggest variable by the outside world.
Shao Dianfei must not want to have a difficult opponent in the first game, it is really difficult for you to play the first game in front of the king, and I forgot about this stubble when I was excited.
From what I know of the organizers of the contest, there will be people who will join forces and throw you into an inconsequential group and toss you around. The more Fuji Yan spoke, the more he felt that it was possible.
Fuji Yan participated in the organization of the county competition, and also served as a referee supervisor in the state competition, so he can foresee the means used by the Cavaliers Association to organize the competition.
"It doesn't matter to the group, that's a great fit, I don't know how the format of the finals will change, but let's solve the group stage first. Even if you can't mix in the top ten, it's good to be in the top 20, and you can also become the target of the military's key training in the future. Ding Kui gave Teng Yan a reassuring pill and at the same time encouraged himself.
"No, I can't delay your time, go find the representative of the cavalry branch and ask him to make it easier for you. I finally came to the national competition once, I have to go to more activities, there are not many opportunities in Pingzhong County. Teng Yan refused Ding Kui's send-off, and he hurriedly left the Protector's Mansion.
