The heavy snow covered the bloodstains on the ground and the collapsed houses.
In the side hall of Qingshui Temple, the room was full of the smell of plaster. Chen Qingqiao had a white cloth band tied on his left shoulder. There was blood leaching out and it had dried. His hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and his forehead was tightly tied with a blue cloth band. He sat on a chair and said something.
Don't post it, waiting for a valuable clue.
Fu Gujing, Yun Qiuhe, and Zhu He, a newly promoted Huaqi Realm monk, were sitting there.
There were three Taoist priests from Qingshui Temple in the next room. They were all seriously injured and were resting in silence.
After looking through the various information collected after a busy night, Fu Gujing handed the unorganized piece of paper to Yun Qiuhe, who was drinking tea next to him. After considering the words, he said: "Analyze the various clues collected so far.
, the masked murderer who attacked Chen Guanzhu is likely to have something to do with Jie Zhiquan, the foreign affairs agent of Jiuhe Palace."
"It's him? How could it be him?"
Chen Qingqiao suddenly stood up.
He and Xie Zhiquan had only met once in town and had never crossed paths again. He believed that he had done nothing to offend the other party.
The two assailants who attacked him were ruthless and obviously came to kill him.
If he hadn't had the means to save his life and killed and injured the two assailants, he would have lived and died with Qingshui Temple yesterday afternoon.
A junior fellow student in the Taoist temple died during a fight, and a handyman who was responsible for growing vegetables had his head missing. It was only later discovered at the foot of the mountain that he was so cruel that even ordinary people were not spared.
He really couldn't understand how deep his hatred was against Jie Zhiquan, so much so that he wanted to destroy his Qingshui Guanman sect?
Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the Daolu Branch?
Aren’t you afraid of moral sanctions?
Fu Gujing guessed some reasons. Xie Zhiquan may have misunderstood that Chen Qingqiao attacked from behind that night and beat him.
He thought that the matter had been over long ago and was over for the holidays, but he did not expect that the guy was so small-minded and kept holding a grudge. He said: "We arrived yesterday afternoon and sent out three groups. According to Brother Zhu He and his men, they came from Xihezhou Town.
After receiving the news, Xie Youcai chartered a boat to send off two tightly wrapped guests at the first quarter of yesterday afternoon, heading to the dock in Beihekou Town, Xiahe County in the west.
At that time, the weather was bad, the north wind was strong, and there were few pedestrians in the town. At the pier, only Zhang's Boat Shop was doing short-term passenger business, and all long-term passenger business was stopped.
At the beginning of last night, Brother Zhu He found Mr. Zhang who was punting the boat to see off the passengers, and asked about the passengers on the boat. There was a strong smell of medicine. One of them had difficulty walking and needed help getting on and off the boat. The two were roughly the same height.
The murderer matches.
Junior Sister Yun and Brother Zhu He chased to Beihekou Town Pier all night, but were a step late.
The two people paid a high price, chartered a fishing boat, and left overnight from a small pier in a nearby village. They disappeared without a trace. Junior Sister Yun and Brother Zhu He went up and down the Yaxi River separately, searching in the snow for most of the night, and found several forks in the river.
The whereabouts of the fishing boat has not been found.
Brother He Wen went to Xie Youcai's house last night to learn about the situation. According to Jie Youcai's explanation, the two people showed tokens of understanding Zhiquan. He was just following orders. He didn't know where the two came from. Now Xie Youcai is being detained in the town.
The public office awaits interrogation."
Chen Qingqiao's face was full of anger. Based on these clues, Jie Zhiquan was highly suspected.
However, without obtaining the key witness, it is impossible to go to Jiuhe Palace to question Xie Zhiquan, or to take Xie Zhiquan away for investigation. Jiuhe Palace will not allow it and will definitely intervene in a major matter related to reputation.
Jiuhe Palace is so powerful that in the Daolu branch in many counties and cities in Nanjiang Prefecture, there are monks who serve as presidents, law enforcement envoys, law enforcement guards, and even the Daolu branch in Zhoucheng has people who serve as patrol envoys.
A single move can affect the whole body, unless there is strong evidence.
Otherwise, it is not advisable to act rashly.
Even if the case is settled, there will be endless consequences.
Yun Qiuhe handed the paper to Chen Qingqiao, who was turning pale with anger, and said: "He can do it in the first grade, why can't we do it in the fifteenth grade? I don't believe that he will always go out when he stays in Jiuhe Palace all his life."
Fu Gujing glared: "Don't talk nonsense. As law enforcement guards, we must be careful in what we say and do."
He had many scruples and did not want to follow the truth.
Yun Qiuhe didn't bother to talk anymore, what's wrong with using some means to deal with such villains?
Chen Qingqiao sat down with a sad smile. Reality always makes people helpless. What can he do no matter how sad and angry he is?
He didn't even see the faces of the two monks who committed the crime. They escaped from Xiling County and there was little hope of catching them elsewhere.
The room fell into oppressive silence for a while.
"Who?...Uh, Mr. Zhang."
There were questions from the guards on duty outside.
Yun Qiuhe ducked out of the way and was already outside the door. He looked at Zhang Guanzhu who had taken off his snow-covering bamboo hat and walked in the snow, and said with a smile: "You're here."
She saw that Guanzhu Zhang had reached the new level of Qi transformation, and she clasped her fists to express her congratulations.
Qingshui Temple is currently in trouble, so it is not convenient to say anything happy.
Zhang Wenfeng cupped his fists in return and greeted everyone who came out: "Sorry for being a little late!"
Then he said to Chen Qingqiao: "Master Chen, take care of yourself!"
It was his first time to come to Qingshui Temple. The Taoist temple was much larger than the Xianling Temple. The two blue brick houses and the courtyard wall on the left had collapsed in several places and were in ruins. It looked a bit dazzling and desolate in the wind and snow.
Chen Qingqiao clasped his fists and forced a smile: "Thank you, Master Zhang, please serve tea inside."
Fu Gujing looked up and down and said through a message: "Brother Zhang, you came to help me just after you were promoted. Why don't you rest for two more days to stabilize your lower level cultivation?"
Zhang Wenfeng heard something else, followed him into the side hall door, and asked via voice transmission: "Is the case difficult?"
"Now all the clues point to Jie Zhiquan of Jiuhe Palace being behind it."
Fu Gujing sent a message to say hello in advance, letting Brother Zhang know what he was doing.
He was smart in everything he did and showed his kindness without showing any emotion. After everyone sat down, he handed the stack of paper to Zhang Wenfeng and briefly introduced the situation.
After Zhang Wenfeng flipped through a few pieces of paper, he admitted in his heart that what he did was not fair at first.
Because of the Xiheshan case, he had a bad impression of Chen Qingqiao at the time, so he openly and secretly asked Chen Qingqiao to block the gun for him.
Times have changed, and he did not expect that Xie Zhiquan would actually take revenge on Chen Qingqiao, so he could not sit idly by and ignore it.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "The thugs were so arrogant that they attacked the Keqing law enforcement guards in Xiling County in broad daylight, damaged Taoist temples, and injured people. This is a wanton violation of Taoist laws. Chi Guoguo provoked Taoist Academy."
What I mean is to compile the suspect Xie Youcai and all the clues into a file, including the old case in Xiheshan last time, the evidence of Xie Zhiquan breaking into the town office to rob people, and asking the hospital director to submit it to the county road record branch. How to deal with it will be decided by the county.
Call the shots.”
To pass on the trouble, let the County Road Branch Branch hand over evidence and clues to Jiuhe Palace to exert pressure.
Old cases and new cases are combined to form a causal relationship.
Yun Qiuhe's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "This is a good idea. As long as they are not blind, the senior officials of Jiuhe Palace will destroy their own reputation in order to protect a guy with bad records..."
She was not involved in the Xiheshan case.
After listening to Zhang Guanzhu's old story again, she felt that merging the two incidents was a clever move.
The sect has its own rules. It doesn't matter if the subordinates go out and act arrogantly, but they have violated the taboo by repeatedly flouting the Taoist laws and creating big troubles. Regardless of whether Xie Zhiquan admits that he sent people to commit crimes or not, he will definitely not be punished.
Keep walking.
The minor punishment is to abolish the cultivation level, and the worst punishment is to send him to the Daolu branch for legal action.
It can act as a deterrent internally and serve as a warning to others, and it can provide a decent explanation externally.
Fu Gujing coughed, interrupted the junior sister's words, and said: "Guanzhu Zhang's suggestion is good. Let's send a message to Master Wu Fei Ge first. How to deal with the next step is up to the master of the hospital to decide."
He stands in a different position and considers the problem from a different angle.
When it comes to the relationship and interests between the sect and Jiuhe Palace, he must treat it with caution.
He had already thought of the plan proposed by Zhang Guanzhu. He wanted to achieve the best of both worlds by punishing Jie Zhiquan in a more harmonious way so that he would not dare to trouble Chen Qingqiao again in the future without involving the two sects.
Zhang Wenfeng stopped saying anything, and the old man called him "Zhang Guanzhu" instead of the usual title.
How could he not understand the rejection?
Yun Qiuhe placed the tea cup heavily. She hated such philistine trade-offs!
Chen Qingqiao turned his head. The anger in his eyes was nowhere to be hidden. He hated his own lack of strength.
Fu Gujing would not compromise on what he had determined. He stood up and suddenly heard a faint explosion in the distance. His face suddenly changed color and he ducked out of the house.
Yun Qiuhe and others heard it and followed him out.
Looking in the distance towards Xihezhou Town, I heard a second explosion in the snowy sky.
It was the two Keqing law enforcement guards who were staying in the town to guard Xie Youcai. They issued an emergency fireworks warning. Someone openly attacked the Keqing law enforcement guards in broad daylight. The situation was very critical.
"Asshole, lawless!"
Fu Gujing roared angrily, rushed into the heavy snow, and rushed towards Xihezhou Town.
You can't live if you do your own misfortune, and a pile of mud can't hold up the wall!
This guy who breaks the rules without any respect should go to hell. If he steps on him hard and kills the case, even the king of heaven and I will not be able to save him.
