Chapter 675: High-Level Investigation
"The first one on the list is the Zi family, they have long wanted to eradicate us, and after killing me is equivalent to breaking the Ding family, the Zi family will have one less feud since then, but the Zi family is the most likely to be suspected. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info sent someone to assassinate me in the capital, and they wouldn't do such a high-risk thing.
The second should be none other than Yangfeng, there has been no news of him in recent years, but it is certain that he is not dead, and I don't know where to hide. My father and I hated him to the core, he was the two most wanted to kill him in the world, and he wanted us to die.
The third is the big family hidden in the shadows, and only the Jiang family and the Long family can be excluded from the top ten dukes, and the other families are more or less suspicious. Whatever the family's intentions, killing me must have been one of their goals.
The fourth is the An family, because the An family fell quickly last time, this account will definitely be counted on my head, and their hatred for me will not lose to the first three, and the An family has the financial resources to hire a fifth-level killer.
The fifth is the foreigner who formed a bond with me in the war, and I don't know which children of great families have died at my hands, and they will send killers to eradicate me at all costs. Ding Kui thought about it on the way home.
"Well, the Zi family won't do this, if they want to do it, they would have done it a long time ago; Yang Feng has been away from the capital for many years and has no power or power, it is difficult to arrange so much in the capital, and it is not very likely that he will do it; the latter three are more likely, and the old slave will go back to report to the master. ”
Jiang Nai has been in the capital all the year round, and it is not that he has never seen the assassination of nobles, and he has some experience in this kind of thing.
That night, Qiu Qiu urgently mobilized two squadrons of guards to rush to the Protector's Mansion, and someone dared to assassinate the Tiger Ben as a commander, and the palace guards nominally subordinate to Ding Kui naturally wanted to come to escort him.
"The subordinate escort is late, please forgive me. Qiu Qiu knelt down on one knee in front of Ding Kui.
"It's not about you, it's me who was negligent. Ding Kui took revenge.
"Xia Teng and Duan Xiu, the two servants, took people to the four gates to monitor, and cooperated with the Praetorian Guards to strictly investigate the suspicious people who entered and exited the city gate. ”
"The Praetorian Guards have also been dispatched, and they don't need to come to me if they have important business. Ding Kui thought for a moment.
"It is said that the king was extremely angry when he learned that you had been assassinated, and he once entered the palace to reprimand him, blaming the clan government for only planning for the marriage ceremony, but actually putting your safety at risk, how can the marriage ceremony be held without a quasi-horse? This time, not only do you demand that all those who participated in the assassination of you be caught, but also that the people and things that threaten the kingdom in Zhenjing City be thoroughly investigated. Qiu Qiu whispered in Ding Kui's ear.
Wechen thanked the king for his kindness. Ding Kui bowed in the direction of the palace.
"Now that the entire Praetorian Guard Department has canceled its vacation, all idle personnel must be dispatched to investigate key suspicious areas, and the neighborhood where the Protector Mansion is located will be in charge of his subordinates and two hundred government guards. Qiu Qiu reported to Ding Kui in detail.
"Let's start with the labor hired in the house, and to clear the hidden dangers in the backyard, it is related to the safety of the eldest princess in the future, and we must not be careless. Ding Kui didn't know when his carriage was tampered with, and he was not very comfortable with the people who worked as part-time workers in the Protector's Mansion.
As soon as Ding Kui arranged his subordinates, Long Shuang came to the door with a team of craftsmen from the equipment department.
"What are you doing here?" Ding Kui saw that the craftsmen were knocking around as soon as they entered the door, and some of them even took out strange tools to get to work.
"I came to check the safety of the Guardian Mansion on the order of my uncle, and by the way, I installed a set of early warning mechanisms for the newly developed theater headquarters, specifically for those who sneaked in, which was studied by several archers together. "Long Shuang, this is a grand public weapon for private use.
"What kind of thing? The early warning organ of the theater command department? Hey, it sounds very powerful, and no one will talk behind my back if you install a set in my house, right?" Ding Kui, of course, did not object to making the home safer.
"This set of early warning agencies needs to test where there are deficiencies, my uncle said that your house is the most suitable place, and no one raised objections, so the matter is decided, who wants to say what is self-inflicted. "Long Shuang is very calm.
He stayed in the equipment department for a while, learned a lot from the old officials, and knew some of the unspoken rules clearly.
"Then hurry up, how long will it take to load?" Ding Kui didn't expect that he would be assassinated by someone and have this benefit.
"Two days at most. ”
"Okay, Guangsheng, arrange food and accommodation for the masters, and give them VIP treatment. "Ding Kui has never been stingy with those who are beneficial to him.
The defense of the Protector's Mansion was raised several notches at once, and two squadron guards plus one squadron guard of the Jiang Mansion were more than enough to guard this small mansion; and the early warning organ of the theater headquarters was added to the original arrangement of the old man, and strangers would be discovered in less than a minute.
In the middle of the night, the lights in the Hou Mansion were still bright, many people were busy, and Ding Kui didn't sleep, following the craftsmen of the Equipment Department to understand the early warning mechanism.
Suddenly, his brow moved, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the backyard, where a black shadow fluttered. "Boy, come on. A shrill voice reached his ears.
He didn't hide his whereabouts, he shouldn't be the right person, right? He dared to come openly when he made such a big fuss during the day, as if he had really come to find it.
Ding Kui had to think carefully, the strength of that black shadow was far above him, although he couldn't figure out the specific level, but his intuition told him that this person could threaten his life.
"Old man town prison master Ge Gang, don't let your people come with you, I don't want to see them. "This time it was clear that the voice was coming from that dark shadow.
"Don't follow, it's your own people, go around and have a look. Ding Kui sent Jiang Nan and Qiu away and walked towards the black shadow alone.
"Senior Ding Kui has seen Master Ge, may I ask what advice Master Ge has come here?"
The Prison Master is an honorary position under the clan mansion, and his status is higher than that of the five-way commander, Ding Kui saw that Ge Gang needed to perform the gift of his juniors, not to mention that everyone knew that Ge Gang was a sixth-level combat power, and he should be respected no matter what his status.
"In less than a year, the old man has dispatched you twice, and since the old man became the town prison master, he has not run his legs for anyone twice, what about the two corpses you took away during the day? Ge Gang's words were a little more than usual.
"Master Ge ordered, how dare Kui disobey, those two corpses are frozen in the warehouse, and I will immediately ask someone to carry them over. Ding Kui felt very strange in his heart, a big master actually came for two corpses.
"Wait, someone asked the old man to bring you a message. "I'm afraid that's the purpose of Ge Gang's coming.
Ding Kui said respectfully: "Please also ask Master Ge to make it clear." ”
"You have also seen him today, and most of his identity can be guessed, which is why he asked me to tell you, don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, don't care about things that shouldn't be taken care of, and some people and things you should never see or happen, so it's good for you. Ge Gang's luck locked the voice between him and Ding Kui, and did not disperse outward.
Ding Kui thought about it for a while, and then he knew who the "he" in Ge Gang's mouth was.
"Hehe, Kui was attacked today, he had beheaded three people, and he has been busy since he came back, and he has never seen anyone else happen, and he is tired of Master Ge personally coming to take away the body of the thief, and Kui is really upset. ”
"Good, good, what a clever boy. Ge Gang changed his words, "Do you have a clue about what happened during the day, did you find any suspicious points in the process of fighting?"
"They know something about me, but it's all information that can be collected on the surface, the three combat forces that died in the early to middle of the fifth level, using traps, poisoning and sneak attacks, etc., are well-planned, rigorously executed, calm and ruthless, and they must be veterans who have been trained for many years, and ordinary families can't cultivate such strength. The only suspicion in the whole process is that they are disguised as merchants from the Northern Kingdom, if they pretend to be from the Shaodian Kingdom, it will be more difficult for us to track down, I don't know what their purpose is in doing this?"
Ding Kui said everything he could think of, and the possibility of solving the problem greatly increased by the action of the prison master, and active cooperation was the only option.
"Well, so the assassins are from another country's spy agency. Our country's great family will not use such inferior means, and a sixth-level combat power can kill you silently in the middle of the night. Ge Gang has a preliminary answer.
"Well, it seems to be. Ding Kui saw that Ge Gang said so directly, he didn't know how to answer.
"Okay, where is the storehouse? Don't bother people, the old man will solve it by himself. Ge Gang didn't consider Ding Kui's feelings.
"Over there. Ding Kui pointed in one direction.
"Prepare for the marriage ceremony, and try to participate in other things as little as possible. After Ge Gang finished speaking, he drifted away and went straight to the warehouse that Ding Kui was referring to.
After Ge Gang left, Ding Kui stood in place and pinched his chin.
The king was furious, the Praetorian Guard was dispatched, and the royal master warned me not to ask more, and the prison division went out to handle the case, and the answer to these clues was obvious. Nahua Nuan...... It should be okay, right? Huajiao Dan water was only recently replaced, and there are no several poisons that can't be cured. Alas, this is a trouble, I didn't say I missed anything, did I?
He suffers from gains and losses, and it is difficult for him to act as if nothing happened.
The next day, Yang Mian and Kong Ren came to visit early.
"Brother, I see that you look good, you were okay yesterday, right?" As soon as they met, Yang Mian circled around Ding Kui a few times.
Ding Kui smiled bitterly: "The news spread very quickly, didn't the Espionage Department block the news?"
"How many years has this kind of assassination not happened in the capital, the elders can't remember it clearly, if you can hide it from ordinary people, you can't hide it from us, you don't have any loss, right?" Kong Ren is not as exaggerated as Yang Mian, and observing the reactions of the people in Ding's mansion, he knows that Ding Kui is fine.
"Speaking of losses, does a carriage count?" Ding Kui never mentioned Hua Nuan.
Yang Mian and Kong Ren had a very tacit understanding, and they did not mention the casualties of the rest of the Ding family.
"Come on, bring things up. Yang Mian beckoned to his entourage, "I brought you the feathers of the Void Crane, and I won't let you run to my house to pull it when something like that happened yesterday, but I still want mahjong." ”
