Chapter 451 Strange
In fact, it has not been long since Shen Hao was assassinated on the street before, and it was only a few days in total. It is impossible to catch the murderer in such a short time, but Shen Hao found that when he asked this topic, Tang Qingyuan's expression suddenly became a little stiff.
"What's the matter? Look at Mr. Tang's inconvenient expression?" Shen Hao stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and asked again curiously.
Tang Qingyuan and Shen Hao were too familiar. Tang Qingyuan knew that Shen Hao could see the clue from his expression just now, so he smiled wryly and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you feel relieved when I come to investigate this case?"
Shen Hao also laughed, continued to move his chopsticks, and said while eating: "It seems that it is really inconvenient to tell me. How about I ask Mr. Kuang?"
"It's not that it's inconvenient, but it's just that there's no conclusion yet, so it's hard to talk about it." Tang Qingyuan quickly added. Letting Shen Hao go directly to Kuang Shengyuan is not enough, doesn't it seem that he is not up to the challenge?
"Then Mr. Tang, are you saying that this case still needs to be kept secret from me, the client?"
"It's not a secret, it's just...forget it, let's eat first, and go to your side to talk about it after eating."
Shen Hao nodded and didn't continue to entangle, but he was really curious about what was found in the case of his attack, which made Tang Qingyuan behave so strangely. It stands to reason that it is nothing more than the clues left by the murderer. Anyway, no one has caught it yet, so what else can we find?
After eating, he went to Shen Hao's office to make tea and sat down on both sides.
"Can we talk about it now? It's so mysterious."
Tang Qingyuan snorted, and said, "It's easy for you to talk about it, but you probably cover it tighter than me."
"Huh? What exactly did you find that made you so nervous?"
Tang Qingyuan was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "You were busy with the case of the Ministry of Military Affairs before, right?"
It was still a secret before, but now it has been covered, and Xu Hong has been imprisoned, and the case is being finalized, so various news have spread, and Shen Hao, the organizer, has once again become famous in Xuanqingwei.
So Shen Hao didn't shy away from it, and just nodded in recognition.
"That's why we suspected that the head of the bandit in the army was trying to murder you, because once you die, even if someone replaces you to continue the investigation, there will definitely be a big delay, and it will give many people who have nowhere to escape. response time.
But then we discovered a strange thing, which made this case far from our initial guess."
Tang Qingyuan came slowly, saying that they cut off all the ways to leave Fengri City immediately after receiving the news of Shen Hao's attack, and the teleportation circle was also cut off.
Then there is the citywide search.
This is not an exaggerated metaphor, but a real city-wide search. Even if a gutter has been opened, let alone every household, all the people who cannot produce the registration certificate and the roads are from other places. were screened repeatedly.
Each group of soldiers is looking for someone with a magic weapon that senses true energy.
Not to mention, although this kind of online search and sorting is very slow, it is still effective. Because as long as you enter and leave the city, you must pass through the city gate or through the teleportation circle, and you must leave a record of your identity certificate when you enter these two places. Use these records to check the investigation results in the city, and anyone who misses it will be suspicious with a high probability.
Of course, there are many such people, and they are not necessarily the thieves who attacked Shen Hao. Maybe it was something else that made them sneak into the city. But this kind of people are not good people, so arrests have become common in Fengri City these days, and you can often see unlucky people locked up by board locks being thrown into Xuan Qingwei's prison for torture. Yes, it is impossible to get out of the prison after being affected by Yuchi.
Who let your bad luck hit the knife's edge?
After investigation, sorting out, and screening, there were still some useful clues that came into the sight of Tang Qingyuan and other organizers.
"We found a foreign guest in a small inn who went out shortly after the incident and didn't come back. That person still had a full twenty taels of silver on the inn's account. Most people are not so rich and just leave. Qian. And we searched around and couldn't find this person. According to the description of the waiter, this person's eyes are so gloomy that people dare not look at him. His aura is not like ordinary people, and he is probably a monk.
And we went to see the room this person booked in this small inn. After opening the window of this room, you can just see the place where you were attacked before. The distance between the two places is less than one mile. "
Shen Hao frowned, this was a very important clue. However, he still couldn't understand why Tang Qingyuan would hide the progress of the case from him before.
Without interrupting, Shen Hao continued to listen, guessing that there should be other discoveries later.
Sure enough, Tang Qingyuan said: "That person is most likely the thief who performed phantom murder on you. It's just that he left the inn before we found him, and there is no trace of him in Fengri City.
I can only make a portrait of that person's appearance and some peculiar places based on the memories of the waiter in the inn. Unexpectedly, the problem was found. "Speaking, Tang Qingyuan took out a palm-sized piece of paper from the storage bag in his arms and handed it to Shen Hao.
Shen Hao took it over and unfolded it to see that what was drawn on the paper was a coat of arms.
The underside of the coat of arms is a pattern of three golden spears crossing, and then there is a rice field. Seeing this coat of arms, Shen Hao blinked his eyes and remained speechless for a long time.
After a long time, Shen Hao twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his head and looked at Tang Qingyuan with a distressed expression on his face. He didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth several times before choking out a sentence: "This thing won't have anything to do with my business, right? ?”
Tang Qingyuan said angrily: "What do you think? Now you know why I said it was difficult to say about you before, right? This coat of arms was seen on the wallet that the waiter took out from the other party when he checked in when he collected the deposit. Yes, you should know the weight of this coat of arms, right?"
"Well, this is the coat of arms of the imperial family's inner guard. The pattern of three guns in the rice field."
Royal family guards, as the name suggests, are the guards recruited by the royal family to protect their own safety. They are not included in the formal establishment of the old Jing dynasty.
However, the strength of the imperial guards should not be underestimated. Their training, equipment, and cultivation are comparable to those of the imperial guards.
"That's right, the pattern of the three spears in the rice field is the unique emblem of the imperial family's inner guard. The person who tried to kill you with phantom killing is very likely to be the imperial family's inner guard. So you say this is not complicated? I That's weird, I, Tang Qingyuan, have worked in Xuanqing Guard for most of my life and don't have many enemies. Why do you have people trying to kill you every few days? Even the royal family is here.
Do you think it will be the fifth prince? "
