Go to the kitchen in the house and wash off the blood on your hands.

Although he tried his best to be careful, there were still many marks on his body, which Li Po couldn't even imagine.

There was plenty of food and wine in the kitchen, which had to be said to be very attractive to Li Po, but Li Po did not move.

Afterwards, I returned to the house where the big man lived and began to rummage carefully.

Li Po didn't find the most important land deed documents. There were a lot of things signed and pledged, and Li Po didn't have time to take a closer look.

In fact, Li Po couldn't even recognize the words, and he had never seen the land deed before, so he could only look for it with guesswork.

In the end, Li Po felt that this man should have another residence in the city, where all the important documents were, so he gave up this meaningless search.

Li Po quietly left the big house, this time he walked through the front door.

Now, the most important thing is not to leave too many footprints.

These days, when officials handle cases, they probably don't have many means. There's no need to think about fingerprints. The murderer's footprints are the most important first clue.

Of course, these are just speculations. As for whether there will be trained dogs involved in handling the case, Li Po doesn't know.

Therefore, he wrapped his clothes tightly and tried his best to walk in a messy place without letting anyone see him. Needless to say, he worked hard.

After climbing over the fence, Li Po didn't go straight back to the refugee camp.

Instead, they walked south around the fence and quietly entered the residential area of ​​Mayi.

After walking a long way, he climbed over the wall and entered a wealthy-looking house, crossed the mansion, and climbed out from the other side. Li Po felt that it was almost done, so he turned around and went back to the refugee camp.

This was completely different from killing a tall, thin man and a cripple. This time it must be a big case. No matter how cautious he was, Li Po felt that it would not be too much.

If he still met the tracking god and could track him to the refugee camp a few hours later when there were more and more pedestrians, Li Po would recognize him.

At that time, there is no other way except to fight hard to get out of the city.

Back at the thatched cottage, Li Po was almost frozen.

At this time, it was still dark, but there was not much time until dawn.

It was a little warmer in the thatched house than during the day, because the fire had not been extinguished, and Li Chun had waited until now.

At such a time of year, having someone waiting for your return is actually a pretty good thing for Li Po.

Li Po rubbed Li Chun's head and didn't say anything. The tacit understanding between the two of them has been formed for more than a day or two.

Li Po huddled next to the stove, absorbing the warmth.

Li Chun put all the cold-proof things he could find in the house on Li Po.

Just like that night a few days ago, the whole family was sitting by the fire, waiting for the dawn. In fact, they were all waiting for the unknown fate...

The case unfolded quickly.

By the time Li Po found out, quite some time had passed since the murder was discovered.

This time, as Li Po expected, the murder of seventeen lives almost immediately shocked the entire Mayi.

When it was time to serve porridge at noon, groups of soldiers, officials, and policemen of all kinds poured into the market from the south.

Li Po led Li Chun to get the porridge and went back to the thatched house as if nothing had happened. He knew that if these people did not come to the refugee camp at the first time, the chance of solving the case would be very slim.

Many traces will be destroyed by sunlight and pedestrians later.

What he didn't know was that since Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, took office, Li Jing personally led troops to inspect the four cities, surrounded Li Shou's mansion in Mayi, and beheaded Li Shou and other twelve people without any supervision.

After his head, the murder shocked everyone in Mayi...

Most of the people who died were idlers and scoundrels. Such people would end up lying on the streets sooner or later in Mayi. If one or two died, not many people really cared much about it.

But so many died at once, including a businessman Zhang Hu, two Yaren, a small guard in the city, and several of them were serious government soldiers.

By noon that day, the angry news of the Grand Master came.

Then... the status of people entering the human market is getting higher and higher, and more and more people gather together.

The four head catchers in Mayi also arrived one after another.

The four people walked around in a circle and finally gathered together, all looking ugly.

There is no need to say anything more for a person who can be promoted to the position of head catcher in Mayi.

They must be more fierce, ruthless, sharp-sighted, and cunning than others, otherwise, they would not be in this position.

The youngest of the four captors is around thirty. When they are safe, they are the captors of Mayi. When they join the army, each of them will become a commander in the scouts of the Mayi army, or a brigade leader.

They are skilled in bow and horse, and they all carry quite a reputation.

But at this moment, they were exchanging gloomy looks, and their expressions were not very good.

"People enter the house from the back. Kill the people who got up at night here first, and then..."

"No need to talk nonsense, whoever can catch someone now, I will kowtow to him."

"It should have been done by someone in the army, or an old soldier, it should be..."

"Should we check military status? Just save it. There are eight hundred or more veteran soldiers in the city. When can we check them?"

"The footprints are too blurry. I packed something. If I had come here last night, I could have looked for it, but now... I can't."

As they talked, the other three people all looked at the oldest one.

One of them asked softly: "Li Da, what do you think we should do?"

This was an old guy in his early forties, with some gray hair. He pondered for a long time, pursed his lips and said: "The person who committed the crime can't be found. The person who did this..."

At this point, he stopped talking, looked at the other people and said: "You should have heard of this big man. There must be many enemies. This is a case of hiring a murderer. We don't actually need to spend much effort. Wait for it to come up.

Once we’ve made up our mind, we’ll just do it.”

"At most, we can take a few hits to get rid of the problem. Maybe in the future, we can have more income."

It was a bit confusing, but the others understood it.

Such a major case will definitely not be successful if it is handled perfunctorily.

The higher-ups will also solve the case within a time limit, and if the perpetrators are not caught, they who are the quickest and quickest will inevitably be punished.

But for a trafficker like Zhang Dalang, there are a lot of people who want him dead.

For such a big case, the tighter the pressure from above is, the easier things will be done below. When the time comes, no matter whether you are guilty or not, anyone who has a grudge against Zhang Dalang can be arrested and questioned.

When the time comes, it won't be up to them, the detectives, to decide who will do it?
