Lin Ji did not speak in a hurry, but looked around for a moment.
After confirming that he really couldn't see any clues, he finally set his sights on the old man in front of him.
"I haven't asked for advice yet."
"Surname is Jane."
"Master Jian." Lin Ji bowed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Can I ask anything?"
"You can ask anything."
This tone is really not small.
"So... do you know who I am?"
Hearing this, Master Jian looked up at Lin Ji and chuckled twice.
"My friend doesn't know any rules, so he comes to your door?"
"What are the rules?"
The smile on Master Jian's face disappeared again, he looked at the book in his hand again, and said casually: "One question costs a thousand yuan crystal. As long as I answer it, you have to pay me."
"Hiss..." Lin Ji took a breath...
In an instant, the temperature in the room seemed to rise a little.
The price is really not low.
But precisely because of this, Lin Ji felt a little more at ease.
It seems that this rotten Kelou is genuine. Otherwise, if he had made nonsense, this place would never have opened now, and it would not have been recommended by Xiao Changqing.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji took out the token Xiao Changqing gave him and put it on the table.
When he saw the token, Master Jian raised his eyebrows slightly and finally put down the book in his hand.
"Tianjing Ling, which guard do you have an old relationship with?"
"One question costs a thousand crystals." Lin Ji grinned.
Host Jian was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and laughed twice.
"Haha, friends are really interesting."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold Tianjing Ling down and said, "I want to give you the face of the guard. You can ask three questions for free, and you will be charged for the rest."
Lin Ji nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ji suddenly felt that something was not right about the smile on Mr. Jian's face.
I felt a little wary.
Lin Ji asked: "Who was responsible for the massacre at the county government in Pingchuan County?"
"My friend really came here for this matter." There was a certain look in Mr. Jian's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji immediately understood that his identity had been known to the person in front of him.
"It was done by the Holy Fire Cult." Master Jian replied.
The answer was as expected, so Lin Ji asked again: "Why did they kill people? Is it to provoke the court, or for other purposes?"
"neither."
"None of them?" Lin Ji was surprised.
Host Jian smiled.
"Killing a few official servants of the Qin Dynasty is nothing to the barbarians. When they see them, they get interested and kill them casually. That's all."
Seeing Lin Ji's frown, Master Jian shook his head and said, "Why do you need a reason to kill someone?"
Lin Ji agreed with this.
He worked as a head catcher for several years and saw too many evil spirits who were so full that they had nothing to do but kill people for fun.
The last thing you should not talk about when handling cases in the Supervisory Office is logic, because it is easy to get yourself involved and get into trouble.
It’s just that the barbarians can also be said to be human races from a racial perspective, and are not evil.
They were hostile to Da Qin, so they came to Jingzhou with such a big fanfare and dared to provoke the imperial court and the Supervisor Tiansi unscrupulously. This was a bit too high-profile.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Seeing that Lin Ji was deep in thought, Host Jian was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "There is one last question left."
Lin Ji thought for a long time before finally speaking.
"What kind of strength do the people from the Holy Fire Sect who come to Jingzhou have?"
He wanted to know how many people from the Holy Fire Sect came, why they came to Jingzhou, and where they were at this time.
But compared to these, the strength of those people is more important.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
If the other party was in the seventh realm, then if Lin Ji continued to investigate without knowing it, it would be no different than seeking death.
Host Jian was obviously a little surprised. He looked at Lin Ji deeply.
"My friend is really smart."
"My dear, the most important thing when working in Tianjiansi is to be self-aware." Lin Ji chuckled.
Lord Jian nodded, stroking the Tianjing Order that Lin Ji had just taken out in his hand.
"That's all. Although we suffer a loss, we still have to give the guard some face."
"Four people from the Holy Fire Sect have come to Jingzhou, and their purposes for coming to Jingzhou are also different." Master Jian considered it, and continued, "The two murderers are no longer in Jingzhou. But there are still two people, and not only in Jingzhou.
, even in this capital city."
"These two people in Tianjing City have a good background, but their strength is average. They are both Night Travel Realm figures. This level of strength is not weak in the world of monks, but in front of Commander Lin, it is not enough."
Lin Ji smiled modestly and felt confident.
However, he continued to remain silent, wanting to see how far Mr. Jian could give the guard face.
But it's a pity that Master Jian seemed to have seen through Lin Ji's thoughts and stopped talking.
"If you want to know anything else, you have to pay."
Lin Ji stood up decisively.
There was no such thing as reimbursement in the Supervisory Office, and he estimated that even if he could be reimbursed, this rotten Ke Lou might not be able to issue an invoice.
One thousand yuan crystals is really a lot, and he knows enough.
"Lin is short of money, so I would like to thank the original poster for this."
After the words fell, Lin Ji stood up, saluted and wanted to leave.
But just when he walked to the door, the voice of Master Jian sounded again behind him.
"Commander Lin, can you please listen to me?"
Lin Ji paused.
"Master Jian, please tell me."
"The matter of the Holy Fire Cult involves the entanglement between the Far North and the Great Qin. With the general trend of the world, if you are not careful, you will be shattered. Commander Lin can investigate the case, but don't dig too deep..."
"Knowing too much about some things can lead to disaster."
Hearing this, Lin Ji pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then smiled and bowed.
"Thank you, Master Jian, for reminding me. Lin knows it well."
"It's good to have a few."
After leaving the room, Lin Ji quickly walked out of Lanke Building.
Standing at the gate, looking at the inconspicuous three-story building behind him, Lin Ji frowned slightly, feeling a little doubtful in his heart.
"So about the case in Pingchuan County, several big guys in Tianjing City have actually known about it for a long time, and they also know that the Supervisory Office will send people to investigate...otherwise, it doesn't make sense."
The performance of the host Jian just now showed that he had anticipated everything, otherwise how could he have answered so fluently.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji felt a little troubled.
The case seemed to be more complicated than he thought.
At first I just thought I was looking for someone, arresting them, and closing the case.
But now it seems that there are many hidden secrets, and it even involves the barbarians in the far north.
And the unprovoked motive for the murder.
If it's evil, then that's it. People from the Holy Fire Sect dare to come to Jingzhou and kill people for no reason.
It was so outrageous that Lin Ji didn't believe a word of it.
"That's all, Master Jian said that there are still two people from the Holy Fire Sect in the city... Let's start with these two people."
"At least I have to capture one and bring him back for business."
