Chasing the gods in Zongwudang

Fuwei Escort.

They entered the compound three times before and after, covering an area of ​​nearly ten acres. At this time, the house and yard were empty, not to mention valuable things, even the worthless tables, chairs and benches were removed.

Lu Cheng and Murong Xian wandered around, seeing the rain getting heavier and heavier, so they had no choice but to hide in the house temporarily.

"This place has become an abandoned house, which is useless for investigating cases. What do you want to do next?" Murong Xian looked at Lu Cheng, who looked at him from time to time, and interrupted the silence.

Lu Cheng said: "There are many ways to investigate a case. In today's society, the effect of on-site investigation is too poor. If we are local headhunters, we will definitely find a lot of clues after the murder. It is also good to visit nearby neighbors to examine the deceased. Whether it is a corpse, the easiest thing is to retrieve the records of people entering the city before and after the murder."

For example, Lu Cheng took out a guide when he entered the city, and his name and place of origin were written on it.Maybe the murderer can spend money to buy off the guards like Lu Cheng did, but if there are too many, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net.

Murong Xian nodded slightly, expressing his agreement.

At this time, there are only so many means of investigating the case. When it comes to this kind of vendetta, the local government mostly hand it over to the six sects, and then ignore it.

Even in some places, the government will define manslaughter as vendetta, in order to shift the responsibility to the six sects.

As we all know, most of the people in the Jianghu kill people in anger, and some gangsters even ask for money and kill themselves.

Of course, this kind of too ostentatious has long been eliminated by the Six Doors and the Shenhou Mansion.

What the imperial court needs is a peaceful and stable world. For the imperial court, whether it is knights in the world or mafia gangs, they are all people who are not easy to discipline.

In order to maintain the imperial power, the imperial court can only choose to use warriors to control the rivers and lakes. These are the six doors, and this is the meaning of the existence of the Shenhou Mansion.

"Then what should we do next?" Murong Xian looked at Lu Cheng, "Before I came, Sister Hongling told me to listen to you."

"Listen to me, can you do anything?" Lu Cheng smirked.

For example, get married.

Murong Xian didn't speak, but just stared at him with straight eyes.

"Okay, okay, just kidding, don't be angry!"

"When we were on the second floor just now, did you notice that the shop waiter ran out. If I guessed correctly, he should have gone to report to the local police. We just need to wait here at the inn, and the local police will be there It will come to your door automatically, and then send us the 'sorted' autopsy records."

"In this way, after we surveyed the scene and visited the neighbors, we only have the records of entering and leaving the city for those few days."

Murong Xian withdrew her gaze, turned around and looked outside the door, looking at the pattering raindrops, her eyes blinked, not knowing what she was thinking.

Since Murong Xian didn't say he wanted to leave, Lu Cheng didn't want to either.

……

Jinling, six doors.

A homing pigeon slowly fell, and was grabbed by a luxuriously dressed man who looked like a playboy.After taking off the information on the carrier pigeon's leg, the man glanced at it, and laughed unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

"Catching God is really getting more and more confused."

"Such a case that is clearly deep water, to actually send a kid who has just entered the rivers and lakes and the woman from Murong's family, it seems that they want to find an excuse to close the case hastily!"

"It's a pity that I, Jin Jiuling, am afraid that I will be cut off from the Six Doors now, otherwise I might not be able to fight for the position of God Catcher!"

"Catching God, you are getting old!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the carrier pigeon flew to where he should go.

'Boom boom boom! '

"My lord, the Nanwang Mansion has sent a butler, please go to the banquet!"

Going to a banquet?

"Okay, you go down first!"

After a slight pause, Jin Jiuling looked at a painting on the wall next to him.It was a landscape painting, which looked quite ancient, and it should have been written by a famous artist of the previous generation.

"Most of the people in these six doors are mediocre people. I have been robbed of so much silver, and I am the murderer to solve the case. It is really ridiculous. Do you think I will throw myself into the trap!"

"Since I joined Six Gates, I haven't had any case that can be hidden from me for three days. I'm really tired."

"Now these people will all be fascinated by my fame, and they will never realize that I am the mastermind behind these cases. I really am a bunch of pigs."

"Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, I can see you soon, I hope you don't let me down!"

……

"My lord, you two are finally back, our local yamen has come."

As soon as Lu Cheng and Murong Xian returned to the inn, they saw the shopkeeper eagerly running out, grabbing Lu Cheng's arm and trying to pull him in.

"Don't worry shopkeeper, can I still run away!"

Lu Cheng asked the shopkeeper to let go, then looked at Murongxian, and found that she was also looking at him, so he couldn't help blinking at her.

Lu Cheng, who turned his head and entered the inn, did not notice that Murong Xian's pretty face was slightly flushed after he left, and then she was concealed by her cold demeanor, and he looked even colder.

"Ren Tianming, the head arrester in Tsing Yi, Fuzhou, met Mr. Lu!" Ren Tianming knew the names of Lu Cheng and Murong Xian on the inn's resident registration list. Murong Xian was a woman, so the man who came in was naturally Lu Cheng.

When Lu Cheng entered the inn, he saw several headhunters who had stood up. The one standing at the front was a man in his 30s with a simple complexion.

"Captain Ren!"

Lu Cheng greeted them, and by the way, scanned the people behind him. Through the tricks Bai Zhantang taught him to distinguish the aura and identity of warriors, he found that Ren Tianming's martial arts were the highest among these people, but he was only barely able to step into the first-class threshold. .

"Lord Lu came from a long way, and the lower officials have lost sight of us, so please forgive me."

Lu Cheng said: "Captain Ren is serious. This case has already been heard by the heavens. For the safety of the people, I did not notify Chief Ren in advance this time, so I went directly to the bodyguard bureau. Please don't blame Catcher Ren."

"My lord's words really hurt me!" Ren Tianming smiled humbly, "This case happened in the territory under my jurisdiction, and I should be responsible for it, so I should have resigned on the spot. But Mr. Jin Jiuling said that I should make up for my mistakes. You can only abdicate after the investigation of this case, and now that Ren is the head arrester, he really feels ashamed of the dead people!"

Ashamed?

Lu Cheng glanced at Ren Tianming's fingertips, collar, etc., and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "This man is telling the truth, his clothes are exquisitely dressed, and the details are well handled. Bad look. '

But he was too lazy to argue with Ren Tianming.

He still needs Ren Tianming's convenience, so that he can quickly check the file and proceed to the next step.

It took eight days to get here from the capital, and now there is really not much time left for Lu Cheng.If he broke his face with Ren Tianming and asked him to shirk for a few more days, Lu Cheng would be in trouble.

"May I ask my lord, what clues were found in Fuwei Escort?"

Lu Cheng waved his hand, "The inside has been emptied and turned into an abandoned house, not to mention me, even our Lord Catcher himself, there is nothing I can do about it."

This is the world of martial arts, not fairy tales.

Now the Fuwei Escort Bureau has not been moved except for the house, it can be said to be a barren house, under such circumstances, let alone the arresting gods, even if the four famous arresters come together, it is useless.

Ren Tianming smiled wryly, "My lord, it's not that we didn't protect the scene, but after the Fuwei Escort was destroyed, someone came to collect the bill with the previous Fuwei Escort's receipt, saying that the goods were lost, and they wanted the things here. We have no choice but to move it away to pay off the debt!"

This reason is very good, but these people who collect the bills are a bit too coincidental.

Moreover, the shopkeeper also said that before the Fuwei Escort Bureau was wiped out, many people came to deliver goods and escorts, and then the Fuwei Escort Bureau directly wiped out the door, and the furniture was taken away in the name of asking for debts. This incident is too coincidental.

"Those who collected the bills, did they investigate?" Murong Xian, who had been observing, suddenly asked.

Seeing Murong Xian, Ren Tianming's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then he said: "I have checked, and the procedures are all right, it is a normal business transaction. These people used to use Fuwei Escort Agency to carry out darts, and they are considered regular customers."

Murong Xian frowned slightly, took a step back, stood behind Lu Cheng, and stopped talking.

Lu Cheng said: "Since it is a normal business transaction, there is no need to investigate. By the way, Chief Ren, how many people are there in the Fuwei Escort Bureau, and how many corpses were found at the scene?"

Ren Tianming replied: "My lord, more than 100 people died in this Fuwei Escort, except for Lin Zhennan and his son Lin Pingzhi, the rest were all killed."

"Since these people are not dead, it proves that the people behind the scenes must be useful to catch them. Next, we only need to find one of them to know the truth of the matter." Saying this, Lu Cheng already knew in his heart that the people behind the scenes Still want to ward off evil swordsmanship.

Ren Tianming said: "Now that these three people have been taken away, if they are deliberately hidden and they don't enter the city, it will be very difficult to find them."

Lu Cheng said: "This can be regarded as finding a direction for us to solve the case. Next, we also want to check the autopsy records of the deceased in the Fuwei Escort, and the records of entering and leaving the city for five days before and after the time when the Fuwei Escort was destroyed."

"I've already brought the autopsy record, this entry and exit record." Having said that, Ren Tianming waved his hand directly, "Pang San, go to the government office and get the entry and exit record."

A lean-looking man cupped his fists and gave a salute, then left the inn.

"Lord Lu, I can understand the autopsy record, but is the entry and exit record useful?"

Lu Cheng curled his lips slightly. If he had arrested the head locally, he would have sealed off the city long before the Fuwei Escort was wiped out, and he would have found the murderer within three days.Now he can actually ask the city gate guards who were on duty for those few days, but he can't make sure that these people can clearly remember everyone, so it's better to just watch the entry and exit records.

It seems that Ren Tianming has a problem!

Either because of lack of strength or lack of virtue, or because he was involved with the murderer who destroyed the family of the Fuwei Escort.

"Fuwei Escort has a lot of escorts, and the minimum strength of these people must be second-rate masters. In addition, Lin Zhennan, the chief escort, such a large number of people, can destroy the family overnight. I think this murderer has already touched his innate strength. The threshold, otherwise it would not be so easy, when the incident happened, even the head arrester did not notice it."

Ren Tianming looked ashamed, "Ren's strength is low, after this incident, he will definitely take the blame and resign!"

Lu Cheng didn't intend to keep Ren Tianming, and continued: "There is such a top expert who can guarantee to kill the powerful people of the Fuwei Escort. And the Fuwei Escort has a lot of manpower. If they can kill the family, they must have the assistance of their companions. This time I The purpose of investigating the records of entering and leaving the city is to find clues about these people."

"Listen to your words, it's better than ten years of reading!" Ren Tianming's shame turned into admiration, "If I can catch up with Mr. Lu by three points, I won't be clueless about this case."

"Headmaster Ren Miao praises it!"

"Master Lu, this is the victim's autopsy record, please read it!"

The head catcher behind Ren Tianming put a dossier on the table, and then returned behind Ren Tianming.

Seeing what he wanted, Lu Cheng opened the file and read it carefully.

'Li Tongtou, age 45, identity: Fuwei Escort Bureau Escort, fatal injury: throat cut by a sharp weapon. '

'Zhang Dashan, age 38, identity: head of Fuwei Escort Agency, fatal injury: died of a broken heart! '

"Bai Shitou, age 40, identity: Head of Fuwei Escort Agency, fatal injury: a sword pierced the heart from behind!" '

……

The autopsy record is very simple, what caught Lu Cheng's attention the most was the cause of death later.

The maids and servants in the back had multiple wounds, and most of these bodyguards were fatal in one blow. It can be seen that the martial arts of the people who came here far surpassed these bodyguards, and their attacks were fierce and ruthless, attacking vital points.

"Thank you!" Lu Cheng closed the file and pushed it forward.

"Is this the end?" Ren Tianming had already made plans to wait until dark, but it turned out that Lu Cheng read the dossier for at most a quarter of an hour and sent it back, which is weird.

'Is it possible that this guy is pretending to be a murderer in the end? '

Naturally, Lu Cheng didn't know that Ren Tianming would think of him this way, if he knew... then he would know.Lu Cheng is just a headhunter who came to investigate the case, and has no jurisdiction over local headhunters.

"After reading it, there are no clues on it, and it would be a waste of time to read on." Lu Cheng said frankly.

Others solve the case by collecting clues, and they will give more consideration to every piece of useful evidence, in order not to let go of any possibility.But Lu Cheng was different. For him, the Fuwei Escort's annihilation case meant knowing the murderer. He came to Fuzhou for a cutscene. The difficult thing was the next thing.

evidence!

Lu Cheng can identify the Qingcheng sect as the murderer, but he has nothing to prove, and the Qingcheng sect is also a well-known sect in the world, the six sects can't listen to him alone, so arrest all the Qingcheng sects directly!

If the six sects dare to do this, I believe that the heads of the major sects will gather in the capital the next day. With all the anger, not to mention Lu Cheng, even the high-ranking Catcher will have to worry about this matter. pay the price.

Thinking he had seen through Lu Cheng's thoughts, Ren Tianming looked at Lu Cheng with more and more kindness.

"Master Lu is wise and powerful, this case must be easy to grasp, easy as pie!"

Lu Cheng nodded slightly, with a modest expression, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. There was no problem with this sentence, but when he thought about it carefully, he always felt that his words were wrong, as if he was alluding to himself!

But looking at Ren Tianming's 'sincere' expression, Lu Cheng could only suppress the suspicion in his heart, and he felt that his suspicion was getting bigger and bigger.

Just as Lu Cheng was about to speak, he heard a burst of powerful footsteps.

"My lord, here is the entry and exit record you asked for!"
