Chapter 74 Involved in a big case is the glory of the night
Chapter 74 Involved in a major case (more updates for The Glory of the Night!)
Crunch, crunch!
The talisman boat began to shake violently, and the cold river water kept seeping in from the cracked gaps.
The paper man on the bow of the boat was still operating the oars perseveringly, but he seemed to be stuck and kept repeating some meaningless movements.
"The boat can't hold on any longer!" Cui Yu said through gritted teeth.
The foundation of the talisman ship is actually the special talisman stacking technique performed by Cui Yu. Now that the hull has been severely damaged, Cui Yu's own aura has also become disordered.
Even if another ship is stacked up, it will be difficult to use other methods in a short period of time.
Under normal conditions, a group of five people could still cross the river, but there was obviously external interference at this time. If there was no support under their feet, they would be in a more passive situation.
"Since that ship is an entity, let's go up and have a look."
"I would like to know who is behind this." Jin Sanniang was confident and threw out a machete.
The scimitar controlled the air, splitting tens of meters of dense fog, and even compressed the air into a transparent air bridge in a short period of time.
This kind of control is something Ye Chuxiao is currently unable to achieve.
Even if Ye Chuxiao has the talent of shaping energy, he cannot do such an understatement.
Jin Sanniang took the lead on the air bridge and walked towards the huge building ship.
Ye Chuxiao and others naturally followed.
After boarding the deck of the building ship, Jin Sanniang took back her meniscus knife and held it in her hand, always on guard.
"What a strong smell of blood." Zhao Sibai sniffed and said.
Qiao Wuqi's eyes suddenly lit up, like two searchlights scanning the building.
"There are a lot of bodies in there."
"Wait a minute... There are people among them who are wearing official uniforms. Judging from the patterns and colors, they are all officials of the seventh rank or above. Such cruel methods. The murderer is just venting his anger. No... there is actually a fourth rank here.
!" Qiao Wuqi watched and spoke, his tone gradually becoming heavier.
Putting it in Shenjing City, a fourth-grade official is not too unusual.
Many of the nobles' sons, thanks to their protection, can obtain some idle official positions. To put it bluntly, they enjoy a salary and good luck, but not much real power.
But if it is in a local area, the fourth grade is already an official at the level of "state pastor", which can be called a frontier official.
The sudden death of such an official is definitely a shocking case.
The five of them entered the flower hall of Lou Chuan together.
Inside the hall, there was blood everywhere.
The body parts of dancers, musicians, guards, guards, and some officials were all mixed together.
The cruel and bloody scenes make people feel like they are already in hell.
Among the five people, Ye Chuxiao was the least tolerant of such exciting scenes.
Although there is a torture building in the Penal Department Prison, and some methods are equally bloody and cruel, but with Ye Chuxiao's status, when has he ever done such work himself? He is not a pervert!
"I have been on duty for more than ten years. The last time I saw such a tragedy was eight years ago. That time..." Zhao Sibai was saying.
But Jin Sanniang interrupted: "Okay! Don't talk about irrelevant things. In short, first determine the identity of the victim."
"Then launch the golden talisman to break the ban, summon the six policemen within a few hundred miles, and come together to jointly handle the case. This matter... is big!"
Zhao Sibai clasped his fists to accept the order, holding the forbidden golden talisman in hand, walked to the outside deck, and released the golden talisman.
This talisman was personally made by the talisman-making master of the Six Gates. Even if it encounters a blocking, covering, concealing formation or barrier, it can effectively escape and release messages to all directions.
The detectives at the six gates can get information through waist badges and badges, and rush to the location where the golden talisman is issued.
In the flower hall, Qiao Wuqi put on his gloves, frowned and looked at some pieces of meat, thought for a while and said, "Does this technique look familiar to you?"
"Moreover, this time we travel to Hedong to attack the Liu family. It was actually agreed upon by the adults above."
"If the guess is correct, the Liu family should have secretly surrendered long ago. Our trip is just a formality so that we can earn some credit. Later, the Liu family will serve as an example to attract more wealthy families to enter the framework we have set.
"
What Qiao Wuqi said was a bit fragmented, and it seemed difficult to connect the first sentence and the next two sentences.
But it is actually related.
Seeing that only Ye Chuxiao was puzzled, Cui Yu whispered beside Ye Chuxiao: "Eight years ago, Yuan Shangshu sent people to investigate the collusion between the wealthy families in Hedong and the original religion. In fact, they had already obtained the information of the Bai family in Hedong at that time.
If you send someone to investigate the report letter, you just have to lift the lid."
"There were two gold medals and twelve silver medals traveling at that time, and Zhao Sibai was also in the investigation team at that time."
"They also encountered a boat on the Han River, which was full of corpses that had been cut into pieces and were in a mess that was difficult to identify."
"The corpses on the boat at that time were identified by corpse repairers and all belonged to the direct lineage of the Bai family in Hedong."
"Without the whistleblower, even Six Doors would have a hard time handling cases in Hedong. The delay lasted for a long time, and the subsequent investigation of the wealthy families in Hedong had to be abandoned."
After Ye Chuxiao heard this, he held his breath and no longer breathed in the strong smell of blood in the flower hall.
Immediately, the feeling of vomiting and nausea was much better.
"Mr. Bai...Bai Mingjian, this is not a coincidence." Jin Sanniang said suddenly.
"Is it the remaining members of the Bai clan who committed such a murder?" Qiao Wuqi asked.
Jin Sanniang shook her head and said, "You can't be so arbitrary, but this matter must be related to the Bai family."
"Similarly, Liu is also involved."
"On this trip, I'm afraid we didn't come here just to take credit... we were also carrying thunder."
As soon as these words came out, although the four people present were expressionless, it was obvious that they were all in a very bad mood.
Zhao Sibai came back after placing the golden talisman. Seeing the faces of the four people, he didn't ask any questions.
Instead, he stepped to the end of the flower hall, rummaged through the pile of mutilated corpses, and found an arm that had been twisted into a hemp rope.
Unfolding the official uniform on his arm, Zhao Sibai said: "The cuffs have fire unicorn patterns. The owner of this arm should be a Sima. Hedong is Shangzhou. If this is an official in Hedong, then the owner of this arm should be a Sima."
A fifth-grade official."
"Xue Ding'an, Sima of Hedong, entered the wonderful realm in the ninth year of Kang Jian's reign. He guarded Hedong for more than ten years. His cultivation can be described as profound and unpredictable." Cui Yu said quickly.
"This is an old minister from the previous dynasty!" Qiao Wuqi said.
Jin Sanniang glanced at Qiao Wuqi with sharp eyes.
Qiao Wuqi took a step back, said no more, and continued to look at the corpse.
After a while, a severed sleeve was finally found among the pile of corpses to prove his identity.
"Looking at the pattern, I can be sure that it came from a governor."
"But Hedong is Shangzhou, and the governor of Hedong is an official of the third rank."
"Looking at the details of this pattern, it is clearly the pattern on the official uniform of the fourth-rank governor. Only the governor of Zhongzhou is the fourth-rank governor." Qiao Wuqi said.
Inside the building boat, the body parts, including clothes, were cut into pieces and were very mutilated.
If you want to identify the corpse, you still have to wait for the corpse cultivator who specializes in corpse path to come and splice and assemble the corpse.
