Hearing what Gong Yan said with confidence, Liu Zhutou and Ji Ruchen couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In desperation, the two of them had no choice but to turn their eyes to Gong Yan again, wanting to hear what important clues he had mastered, and he was able to solve the case that so many people had been investigating for so many days so easily.

Gong Yan saw the expressions of both of them, and knew that he had succeeded in letting these two temporary followers see how powerful he was, so he didn't plan to sell Guan Zi anymore, but directly revealed the mystery.

"Actually, before I came here, I had been tracking this assassin all the way from Luzhou to Huizhou, then to Fuzhou, and now to Quanzhou. In the first few places, because I arrived late, I didn't find any trace of the Assassin. However, this time it was very different, because we found a Qin Yi person, and she was the key to catching this assassin!"

Liu Zhutou and Ji Ruchen glanced at each other again, but they were still confused.

Ji Ruchen hesitated and asked, "What do the palace guards mean is that saving Qin Yiren was a fatal mistake made by that assassin?"

Gong Yan smiled slightly, "No, long before he saved Qin Yiren, he had already made that fatal mistake - exposing the location of his lair!"

Although Liu Zhutou still didn't think too much about it, he at least understood the superficial meaning of Gong Yan's words - he already knew the assassin's hiding place.

He immediately felt greatly excited, and asked urgently, "Palace guard, where is that assassin hiding?" I will inform the county lord and send someone to arrest him!"

Hearing Liu Zhutou say this, Ji Ruchen also felt a little relieved, and looked at Gong Yan with a look of admiration, hoping that he would quickly tell the assassin's hiding place, and then go to get someone.

Gong Yan was a little overwhelmed by the excitement that the two of them suddenly showed, smiled a little embarrassedly, waved his hand and said, "Please don't be impatient, two brothers, let me finish speaking." The lair I have just spoken of is only an approximate location, not an exact hiding place for the Assassin. But now that we have a direction, it's only a matter of time before we catch him!"

After staring at Gong Yan for a long time, Liu Zhutou slowly said "oh", and muttered to himself in his heart, what is the young man, his speech is too exaggerated, how can the general direction be the same as the meaning of the nest?

Or Ji Ruchen was more kind-hearted, and he didn't have as many thoughts as Liu Zhutou, so he stared at the gentle big eyes and asked, "The palace guards think that the assassin is hiding around here?"

Gong Yan nodded and said, "Not bad! And the scope can be completely narrowed down to Lingshi County!"

"Lingshi County?!" Liu Zhutou had doubts about the judgment of this palace guard at this time, and couldn't help but immediately put forward a different opinion, "This Lingshi County is just a small remote county, there are only a few hundred households in total, most of them are familiar with each other, how could the assassin have such a big ability, how could he think of hiding in such a small place, wouldn't it be easy to be found?"

Gong Yan replied in a very affirmative tone: "It is precisely because no one would have thought that he would choose to hide in such a remote small county town instead of hiding in the Chao City, so although he killed people at his own doorstep, he did not arouse anyone's suspicion!"

This time, even Ji Ruchen felt that Gong Yan's words were a bit exaggerated, "At the door of the house, what tangible evidence did the palace guards have to prove that the assassin is from this county?"

"Not bad. The evidence is that the Qin Yi people are the Qin Yi people! These recent cases were originally scattered in various places, and although they were all in the south, it was impossible to find any connection between them. Judging from the targets of the assassins, they also have different backgrounds, and some of them are not members of the Loyal Alliance at all.

It can be inferred from this that the Assassin himself should not have had a direct vendetta against the victims, and that he was most likely just a hired killer.

Although the identities of his employers were different, they must have contacted the killer through the same means. So the easiest way to find out about this killer is to find his employer. Now, we have found this employer, Qin Yiren. ”

"But we haven't really found Qin Yiren-" Liu Zhutou couldn't help but mutter, obviously still a little worried about Gong Yan's revelation of the death row prisoner's fake.

Gong Yan smiled indifferently, and continued: "It doesn't matter if you can find Qin Yiren or not, what really matters is to figure out her identity." She is a hermit, and she is also from this county, these two points are very crucial clues.

The kung fu used by the killer was a parting arrow of the hermit, indicating that he must also be a hermit. Since they are all hermit, it is only natural that the Qin Yi people will seek him to avenge their families.

As far as I can speculate, there must be a secret way of communication between them hermits who could easily contact this killer. But there was one thing they overlooked, that is, the Qin Yi people had always been monitored by Han Rui, and they had never left Lingshi County, let alone spoken to anyone outside of Han Zhai.

So how did she get in touch with the killer? There was only one way, through a local secret location, leaving information about the person she wanted to kill.

I have asked Han Rui's subordinates who used to accompany Qin Yiren to go out, and there are only four or five places she has visited, and among these places, only the Mountain Temple is the most suspicious. There are many people who go there every day to burn incense and make vows, and the news is secretly passed on there, which does not arouse suspicion in the slightest. ”

At this time, Liu Zhutou and Ji Ruchen completely understood, and they also admired the young palace guard's ability to deduce like a cocoon.

"Gong Guard, what should we do next? Now that we know that the Mountain Temple is where the killer contacts his employer, do you want to inform the county lord first and send someone to search carefully?" Liu Zhutou humbly asked Gong Yan's opinion.

Gong Yan shook his head and said, "No." If someone from the government were to appear at the temple of the mountain, it would definitely cause a riot and would probably alarm the killer. If he realizes the danger and hides from now on, will we not miss this great opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop?

What we have to do at this point is to continue to have people search the city and outside the city, and the killer will think that we are still working in vain without a goal, and feel that we are safe and can continue to hide in this place.

At the same time, we will secretly send people to monitor the mountain temple, track down every suspicious person who goes there, and we will eventually find out the killer and reveal his true form!"

Liu Zhutou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to monitor the mountain temple—"

"No," Miyahiko stopped him decisively, "the killer himself may appear in the mountain temple, and the people sent to watch it must be extremely careful, and they must have the ability not to be detected by him." Therefore, the monitoring matter is still arranged by me, so there is no need to trouble you masters. ”

Liu Zhutou guessed that Gong Yan wanted to let the people of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance go to monitor the mountain temple, and when he thought about it, it would be better, at least his brothers would have less hard work, and the killer's kung fu should be excellent, if he really started with it, I don't know how many lives would be filled in!

While he was secretly happy in his heart, he also wanted to say enough about the scene, so he hugged Gong Yan and said, "Okay, Gong Guard, the magistrate has already told me to wait for everything to be based on you." If there is a need for the service of the brothers, the palace guards can just give orders!"

Gong Yan smiled politely and said, "I'm just here to assist your county in arresting the murderer, where is there any reason to give orders to you?" It's just that because this case involves disputes in the rivers and lakes, the people in the rivers and lakes can give some advice to your county!"

Hearing him say so politely, Liu Zhutou also felt very useful. Originally, he had to obey the orders of such a young pawn for his dignified head catcher, and he still had some grievances.

Now seeing that this Jianghu pawn not only has his excellence in handling cases, but also is modest, he is really a rare young talent, and he has a sense of admiration in his heart and is willing to obey the other party's orders.

Ji Ruchen has always had a gentle smile on his face, and he looks like he is obedient to the dispatch at any time, but at this moment, his heart has made great waves.

I didn't expect this Gong Yan to be such a powerful character, and he found his flaws so quickly. The Qin Yi people were indeed a fatal mistake they had made.

When encountering such an opponent, you will face danger step by step in the future. It seems that Qiongniang's mother and son and Qin Yiren must be sent away as soon as possible......
