Chapter 708 Position

Time was tight, and Shen Hao didn't care about writing anything, so he asked Jiang Cheng to report again. As for whether these things should be reported or notified to the chief case officer, he thought it was better to listen to Jiang Cheng.

"According to your statement, the murderer who killed King Qian is likely to be an evil cultivator who has practiced the "Soul Slayer Curse" and is also proficient in "merging spells into words"?"

"It doesn't have to be an evil cultivator. I read the fragments of the "Soul Extermination Curse". The number of practice methods is not different from that of ordinary monks, and there is no practice assistance from evil sects. Ordinary monks only need the strength of their souls. You can practice as soon as you meet the requirements.”

Jiang Cheng also frowned when he heard this, and said after a while of silence: "The scope is even bigger. What are you going to do?"

"If you want to investigate, my subordinates think that you can focus on the direction of the city of death. At the same time, hand over the information to the Criminal Department. If you don't investigate, then you don't see anything. Anyway, I also helped the Criminal Department to push the case forward. It's a big step, and the responsibilities of the assistant investigator have been fulfilled, and the Pang Da people should be able to pay the job, right?"

Jiang Cheng's tense mood was suddenly relieved by Shen Hao's words, and he laughed and said, "You have a lot of thoughts, kid! What? Afraid of getting into trouble?"

When Shen Hao was in front of Jiang Cheng, he always acted very straightforward, saying what he thought of, firstly, he really trusted Jiang Cheng, and secondly, he knew that Jiang Cheng liked his straight-forward and undisguised style more.

"My lord. Although this case has not yet come to light, it can be seen that it is very troublesome now. During the "big exam", it is likely to involve several other princes, and now it involves the city of death. If the evil cultivator gets involved, if this kind of trouble gets involved, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it in the future."

Jiang Cheng also understands what Shen Hao said, but there are some things that Shen Hao can't choose. Even he, the appeasement envoy, often can't help himself, so he explained: "Trouble is indeed troublesome, but But things can’t just go on like this. The Major Case Division of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that there are countless cases solved, but they are all ordinary cases solved, and they have little experience in this kind of monk-level cases, and they are still as difficult as they are today? Rely on them Can you solve the case?

So this matter is not something you can get away with if you want to. What Your Majesty wants is the result, not the process. If the chief case officer is held accountable, how can we, as co-investigators, be able to escape? How to do it still has to be done. You can't watch the people in the major case department go blind.

As for the troublesome upper body that cannot be shaken off, it is not up to you to decide. Pang Da people will resist the pressure at that time, and will not directly throw the problem on you. Besides, you are my envoy of Jingxi Township, even if there is any emergency, I will be at the front, do you understand what I mean? "

The meaning is easy to understand, but also very helpless. It was Jiang Cheng's frankness that made Shen Hao nod heavily.

Everyone has no choice but to bite the bullet and do things. As for how the situation will develop later, Shen Hao's words don't count, even Jiang Cheng's words don't count.

Most of the people under the general trend are mixed in the torrent and can't help themselves, they can only follow the trend.

"My lord, this subordinate understands."

"Just understand. Hurry up. Today is the third day. If there is any progress, please report it to the Chief Case Division as soon as possible, so as not to say that we will make them delay the case. In addition, you should grasp the situation on their side as soon as possible.

Remember, you can't shirk or slack off on what you should do, but you can't jump out when you are in the limelight, and the limelight will be given to the chief case officer. "

"Then this subordinate will go over here, and try to get the people from the major case department to add these new contents to the file within today."

It didn't take long to report this time, and Jiang Cheng's meaning was very clear. Currently, Xuan Qingwei's assisted investigation cannot be idle, and he must do his best to help the case to be investigated smoothly. But the limelight can't come out, and the chief case officer must always be at the front.

Coming out of the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Township, Shen Hao went to the Ministry of Punishments. When he arrived, Xue Gui hadn't entered the yamen yet, so he waited in the tea room for an hour before Xue Gui came back.

"The man has been found."

The first thing Xue Gui said when he saw Shen Hao was this. At the same time, he grabbed the teacup and teapot on the table and poured himself three cups.

"The one who collects the books or the one who sells them?" Shen Hao was also very curious. Speaking of which, the action of the major case department is not too slow. In a day's time, it is not a small progress to track down the direct person.

"I found them all." Xue Gui never rested for more than a day, from arranging manpower to mopping up and recruiting people. With the mask on his face, he couldn't tell if he was tired or not, but his eyes were twinkling with excitement.

The two sat down, and Xue Gui went on to say: "The bookstore that sells books is called "Liushizhai". Looking at the story books, almost all of them were bought in Liushizhai.

And Liushizhai's books are all written by a group of literati recruited by them. Some of them with good responses will be listed on the "Stone List" at the entrance of the bookstore. The list is changed every month, and ten books are on the list each time.

The bookstore is very concerned about customers like King Qian. Every time a book is sold, there will be a record, and someone will use this to analyze King Qian's reading preferences. There were even six literati who wrote scripts for the purpose of writing scripts according to the king's preferences for the king's entertainment, and when he was lucky, he would get a large reward.

After checking all the scripts sold to King Qian, none of the literati who wrote them are still in the imperial city. After taking them down and asking them again and again, it can be basically confirmed that the problem is not with these people. Because these people are only responsible for writing, not rubbing and selling, and they are not sure which copy will be sent to the king.

Finally, I found a man named Gong Erniu. He was the guy in charge of distributing books in Liushizhai, and he was also the only person in charge of the key line from rubbing to selling. When we went to find him, he had already run away with the excuse of going back to his hometown to visit relatives. After chasing Xin Liangcheng, he was found. The dog didn't even return home, if it wasn't for showing his feet on the teleportation circle, he wouldn't have found him so quickly.

And the guy with the books, hey, where do you think that bastard is hiding? It is actually hidden in the tea mountain villa outside the city! In the city, he is a traveler collecting old books, but in Chashanzhuang, he is a hunter, and he is also an old man in the village."

Shen Hao listened very carefully. He originally wanted to ask about Xue Gui's progress, but now he is agreeing with him. He is going to wait for Xue Gui to finish his speech before telling the progress he has made during the day, and then the two sides will sum it up. Let's see how far we can advance the case.

But Xue Gui's next words were somewhat beyond Shen Hao's expectations, and it seemed that the progress was much greater than he thought.

"Those two guys are not very tough, and they all made moves soon. They were instructed by others to act. Whether it was sending the script with the ultimate move to the hands of King Qian, or taking the script back from Prince Qian's mansion afterwards That's all. It was a man named Snake who arranged for them to do this."
