Zeng Zijian saw Li Jianren again not as early as he expected.
Because Li Jianren is missing.
As a well-known dandy in Kyoto, it was nothing to stay up late at night. It was common for him to hang out in the brothel and have fun all night, and then go back at noon or afternoon the next day.
Especially after Li Jianren broke his leg and almost died, he completely gave up on himself and stayed away from home for several days, which was not unusual.
The Li family seemed to have completely given up on him and began to support another direct descendant who was not highly valued in the Li family before.
However, including Zeng Zijian, several dandies understood that Li Jianren did not go out to look for flowers and willows last night. More than a dozen killers dealt with two weak women, which should have been easy to capture. However, until noon the next day, not only did those people not have any
According to the news, even Li Jianren has lost his trace, and things are a little unusual.
"Something is wrong."
"Is something wrong with him?"
"What could happen to so many people? Can those two women kill all those people silently?"
…
In a certain restaurant, several dandies looked uncertain. Zeng Zijian said solemnly: "Go to Li's house!"
In the lobby of the county government office, Magistrate Liu's face didn't look very good either.
Someone reported the crime early in the morning. Last night, they were surrounded and killed by a group of people who suddenly appeared in a certain alley. Those people even used bows and arrows. Four of them were injured and are still lying in the hospital.
With.
Kyoto is at the feet of the Emperor, and public security is naturally the best in Panorama. Although some crimes are still unavoidable, this is the first time that such interceptions and killings have occurred since he took office.
More importantly, the case also involved two important people, which he had to treat with care.
"Have you found anything?" Magistrate Liu stood up and asked when he saw a police officer coming in from outside.
The detective raised his hands and said, "Sir, we are already tracking the blood stains left at the scene. I think we will have results soon."
Magistrate Liu frowned. This case was strange. According to the men, they could hardly hold on last night. A group of people suddenly appeared and rescued them. They were in a hurry to receive treatment.
When my companions came back later, they found that the group of criminals and the reinforcements had disappeared at the same time.
What's even more bizarre is that they don't know who saved them...
Two gangs of people suddenly appeared and then disappeared. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange case in his many years as an official.
A police officer came up and said, "Sir, a servant from Shilang Li's family came to report that their son-in-law is missing."
"Which Minister Li?" Magistrate Liu raised his head and asked.
The detective replied: "Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry."
"How long have you been missing?"
"Six hours."
Magistrate Liu waved his hand and said: "Let them go to the major brothels in Kyoto to search first. If they still can't find anyone after thirty-six hours, they can report the case."
This group of dandies in Kyoto, missing for six hours is nothing. There was once a dandy among the dandies who stayed in a certain brothel for seven days and seven nights. The record set has not been broken yet. County Magistrate Liu said impatiently,
Another detective said: "Let's go and see how their investigation is going."
He took several police officers with him and just walked out of the county government office when a police officer hurried over in front of him. He looked up and saw Magistrate Liu and said with a pale face: "Sir, something big has happened!"
Magistrate Liu saw the frightened expression on his face, his heart skipped a beat, and his heart gradually sank.
…
…
"Sir, it's right in front."
Led by the police officer, County Magistrate Liu led a group of police officers through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived in front of a house deep in the streets.
The detective turned pale, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Sir, we followed the traces all the way and finally found this place."
Magistrate Liu looked at him and asked, "Are those murderers here?"
"They're all in there." The detective nodded and said.
Magistrate Liu nodded with satisfaction. Recently, the work of the county government's agents has made him more and more satisfied.
"The fifteen murderers, without exception, all had their bodies separated. One of them was stabbed through the heart by a sword. It seems to be Li Jianren, the son of Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry." The policeman added.
"Who are you talking about?" Magistrate Liu suddenly turned his head and looked at him with shock in his eyes and asked.
The detective said with a pale face: "Sir, before you go in, you must be mentally prepared."
Magistrate Liu's expression changed drastically. He turned around and strode in. Several government officials followed quickly.
"vomit!"
The next moment, there was a burst of neat sounds in the courtyard.
Not long after, Magistrate Liu walked out of the courtyard with the support of two officers, holding on to the wall before he stood firm.
"You guys stay here to protect the scene..." He forced himself to forget the Shura field-like scene in the courtyard. He waved his hands and said in a trembling voice: "Right away, report to the Criminal Department immediately!"
Sixteen people died, and fifteen people had their heads chopped off. Judging from their clothes, it must be the man who said they were the ones who attacked them last night.
However, what he didn't expect was that these people who were supposed to be villains died one by one at this moment. Although the pool of blood in the hospital had solidified, the pungent smell and cruel scenes still impacted all his senses.
More importantly, among the dead was the son of Li Shilang from the Ministry of Industry.
The last time the son of a minister of the Ministry of Rites was poisoned, His Majesty Long Yan was so furious that he almost turned the entire Kyoto upside down. This time, even the son of a minister of the Ministry of Industry was killed, and more than ten lives were involved. This is
This is the most serious case that has occurred in Kyoto in recent years!
What's more, the son of a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry led a group of killers to surround and kill two women. What was involved behind this was another major case.
You know, including the last murder of the son of a minister of etiquette, the blaming of Miss Zeng, and the last night attack by dead soldiers, but there is no conclusion yet...
No matter which way you think about it, this matter is beyond his control.
It can be expected that there will be another bloody storm in the court this time.
I sent the yamen servants to report everywhere. When I walked back to the county yamen, the soles of my feet were still a little weak. Just as I sat down on the chair, someone came to report that Li Shilang of the Ministry of Industry was visiting.
The Minister of Industry is only half a rank higher than him. As the capital's commander, he does not have to be too humble. However, at this moment, the expression on his face is quite tangled, because he does not know how to tell this news to this person.
A gentleman.
The yamen officer had just been sent out by him and should not have arrived at the Li family yet. In other words, this Li Shilang should not know yet that his son and he are already in two different worlds.
"Master Liu." The middle-aged man came over and bowed his hands to him and said.
Magistrate Liu looked complicated and replied: "Master Li."
"My son didn't come home all night last night. I'm really worried that something will happen to him. I'm afraid I'm going to trouble Mr. Liu this time."
The middle-aged man looked at this unfamiliar Beijing magistrate. At this moment, he had learned what happened from Zeng Zijian and others, and his heart was lifted. Naturally, he would not regard his son's absence all night as a sign.
It's like having fun in a brothel.
After learning that Mr. Liu didn't pay much attention to this matter, he hurried over immediately.
Magistrate Liu sighed and said, "To be honest with Mr. Li, we have found your son."
