Volume 1 Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 40 Traces of the beast's head on the corpse of Tsing Yi
Following the sound of the stone, a faint light appeared in front of the gray mouse.
"Be careful, the turquoise lamps above your heads are so hard that you will bruise your head if you are not careful. ”
The gray mouse smiled: "The two officials can rest assured!"
Since there is no sunlight, let's see if this turquoise lamp can shine a mark.
"Stone, come and help!"
The two of them slowly lifted the body out of the wooden box and placed it on the stone bricks under the turquoise lamp.
Acting is a kung fu that can neither be too fake nor too much.
The gray mouse understood the truth of this, and directly skipped the Tsing Yi figure in the middle, and began to examine the palms of the other two corpses.
"How?"
There was an inquiry at the door.
"The two officials waited for a while, there was still one person missing. ”
The gray mouse held his breath, held up the palm of the corpse in green clothes, and squinted in the direction where the light of the turquoise lamp came from.
Pale and as smooth as jade.
The gray mouse frowned slightly, adjusted the back of his hand in several directions, and finally a mark slowly appeared.
"Whew~"
The two of them let out a sigh and sat down on the stone bricks.
"Two officials, there is a mark on the back of the hand of the Tsing Yi corpse. ”
When the two men at the door heard this, they were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly walked to the corpse.
"What is it?"
"Official, you come to me. ”
"That's right, look in that direction. ”
Zhou Cang carefully observed according to the method taught by the gray mouse, and really saw a beast head mark.
"Brother Lin, come and see!"
Zhou Cang vacated his position next to him and beckoned to Lin Xi.
"What kind of mark is this?"
Lin Xi's brows tightened, and a look of surprise flashed on his face.
"Two officials, is this clue important?"
"That's nature. ”
Zhou Cang patted the gray mouse on the shoulder, his face full of smiles.
"With this mark, I think it will be very quick to determine the identity of the corpse. ”
"Really?"
The gray mouse's eyes lit up, and his tone was full of surprise.
"You two can go back and rest in peace first, and I'll tell you later, and I'll tell you when we have a conclusion. ”
"It's all up to the official. ”
The gray mouse smiled at Zhou Cang.
The grass people did not bother, and retired first. ”
The stone was staring at the turquoise lamp above his head when he suddenly felt a huge pull beside him.
"Dead mouse, why are you going so fast!"
Stone lowered his voice, his tone extremely dissatisfied.
"It's hard to identify the way out, so I'd better send the two. ”
Zhou Cang slowly spoke at the backs of the two, but saw that the gray mouse didn't look back and walked out of the door.
"Don't bother the two officials, the grass people can find the way they came. ”
"What two weirdos. ”
Zhou Cang saw the two figures disappear from sight, and shook his head with a smile.
"Brother Lin, this mark is so secretive, I'm afraid there is some origin. ”
Lin Xi bowed slightly: "Go and tell the adults first, no matter what, I finally have a clue." ”
The door of the corpse room slowly closed, and in the cold wooden coffin, three corpses lay silently in it.
Yunhai District, Supervision Department.
The last two figures stepped into the door, and the man in black on the seat had a gloomy face, and there was a hidden anger lingering between his eyebrows.
"My lord, I didn't find out. ”
"The Criminal Law Department, the Supervision Department, dozens of elites took action, and in the end they returned in vain. ”
The man in black was expressionless, and slowly spat out a voice.
"It seems that I, Xing Lei, am going to choose another good master. ”
"The subordinates are incompetent, I hope the commander will forgive his sins!"
The figures below all knelt on one knee, and their words were terrified.
"Report! ”
"Report! ”
Two voices came from outside the door almost simultaneously.
"Read!"
"Today, our company has been investigated and searched by the name of the association, and all the districts under its jurisdiction have been investigated, and no abnormalities have been found, so we hereby announce. ”
The man in black chuckled, as if he had expected it.
"But for a few hours, it seems that you don't buy my Xing Lei's face. ”
Document reply: Continue to investigate until the end of the three-day period. ”
"Report! Criminal Law Department Urgent Paperwork!"
Another figure hurried in through the door.
Xing Lei was stunned: "Present it." ”
The document is simple with a few lines of handwriting, and a hand-drawn sketch is attached underneath, which seems to be a beast's head mark.
"It's ......!"
Xing Lei's expression changed suddenly, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
"Stand down and continue your search tomorrow. ”
The figures below looked at each other, stunned for a moment.
Who would have thought that Commander Xing, who has always been known for his ruthlessness, would forgive everyone so easily today.
"What? I have to wait until I regret it. ”
Xing Lei's face sank, and his tone gradually became cold.
The figure below suddenly bowed his head: "Thank you Lord Commander for your forgiveness, we will retire first!"
But in a moment, the figure swayed, and the house was empty.
"My lord, is there anything wrong with the paperwork sent by the Criminal Law Department?"
Xing Lei shook his head slowly: "Beima, I want to go to the Criminal Law Department in person." ”
"My lord, but ......"
Xing Lei waved his hand at the man.
"Needless to say, I have a sense of proportion. ”
The man sighed softly, "Yes." ”
A moment later, a red-maned horse was gone.
A black-clad figure on horseback headed straight for the Criminal Law Division.
Yunhai Inn, Tianzi private room.
"Whew~"
The boy leaned back and collapsed on the bed.
"It can be regarded as surviving until this group of people returns in vain. ”
Fang Yan smiled: "It's only the first day, God knows how many times they'll search." ”
The young man sat up straight suddenly: "Brother Fang, didn't you say that we will be able to free ourselves soon?"
"The premise is that the rats and the stones are not wrong, and that the Penal Department can recognize the mark of the beast's head. ”
"Brother Fang, it turns out that you are not completely sure. ”
The young man cried and mourned, and his mood instantly fell to a low point.
"Be happy, it'll be over sooner or later. ”
Fang Yan smiled and threw the boy an apple.
"Brother Fang, I still don't know something. ”
The boy couldn't help but take a bite, only to feel sweet and refreshing.
"What?"
"This outer city should be under the jurisdiction of the government, why should it be divided into regions by the names of different chambers of commerce, and each chamber of commerce has so much power?"
Fang Yan smiled: "What you see is only the tip of the iceberg. ”
"The outer city is very big, far more than the area under the jurisdiction of these chambers of commerce. ”
"The business alliance has a superior status and controls the economic lifeline of Qingzhou. Therefore, the government specially opened up an area in this outer city, called the business district, which was specially used by the major chambers of commerce. ”
"The system of the business district is very different from other regions, and it is usually governed by the government and the people in the business alliance. ”
"The Inspectorate is directly subordinate to the Kyoto Inspectorate and has never allowed outsiders to interfere. But within the business district, the rules have changed. ”
"The Qingzhou government reported, the imperial court specially approved, and the supervision offices in the areas of each chamber of commerce are all selected and trained by the elite leaders selected and trained by the rest of the chambers of commerce. ”
The young man was stunned: "In this way, wouldn't the major chambers of commerce be able to check and balance each other?"
This is also the ultimate goal of the government. ”
"The business alliance has a wide range of influence and deep roots. If there is a situation where one family is dominant, it will inevitably be unfavorable to the imperial court. ”
"Only now, openly and covertly fighting, and mutual restraint, can the government seek the greatest benefits from it. ”
Fang Yan's eyes condensed slightly, and a voice came out of his mouth again.
"Fortunately, this is in the business district, otherwise, how could you and I hide in the inn so leisurely and talk. ”
