Chapter 710: Borrowing a Knife

On the third night when Pang Ban set a deadline for Shen Hao, the murder of King Qian suddenly progressed rapidly.

It was so fast that Shen Hao was a little dumbfounded. There is a sense of "I thought you were a master, but you are just a fool". so easy.

The fastest news came back from a peddler. This kind of small vendor who walks the streets all day is very familiar with the corners and corners of the imperial city, and so is the human face.

When the person from the major case division showed the portrait of the "snake", the salesman hesitated a little before recalling that he had seen it.

It may be unsafe to recognize a person, and news came back one after another. Car dealers, flower houses, and restaurants all reported that they had seen the person in the painting.

Who is it?

"Lu Wangshang?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised by the news brought back by Shen Hao. Because Lu Wang Yang Shang is not very eye-catching among the remaining six princes, and his strength is even inferior to the three who are behind. If he hadn't inexplicably won the guard position at the north gate of the imperial city before, the final result of the "big test" might really have nothing to do with him.

"Yes, my lord. That's the news from the chief case department. The person named "Snake" is a guest official in the palace of Prince Lu, and he is not a new recruit. It can be traced back to four years ago at the longest. It can be regarded as an old man in Lu Wang's mansion. And his identity is mysterious, I don't know if it is a counselor or a force. The person in the major case department said that he was the dead man of Lu Wang, but the information from Xuan Qingwei tended to be Lu Wang Shang's subordinates Spy, even the leader of the spies."

Shen Hao sat on the chair in front of Jiang Cheng, with a serious expression on his face, he was a little confused now, he hurriedly came back from the Ministry of Punishment and immediately found Jiang Cheng's house to ventilate.

It is said that it is Xuan Qingwei's news, but in fact there is also some information about Heishui. While confirming the real existence of "Snake", he also corrected the analysis of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, believing that "Snake"'s identity is not as simple as a force or a counselor, but more inclined to the role of an intelligence leader.

This can also explain why "Snake" has been in Lu Wangfu for more than four years, but the outside world does not have much impression of his existence.

Shen Hao continued to introduce: "The original name of this "snake" is Li Wenhao. Snake is a distorted name he gave himself, and it is used in occasions where it is inconvenient to disclose his name."

"Spy leader? Intelligence leader? Are you sure?"

"The people in charge of the investigation are the elite of the Department of Major Cases. The news they sent back is very firm. At the same time, Xue Gui has already begun to control the surrounding areas of the Lu Palace. When I left the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xue Gui had already gone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Ma Xuanlin, to ask for a warrant. I want to go directly to the door to get someone."

"Take people?!" Jiang Cheng leaned back on the chair and sat up straight. He was shocked by the chief case officer's thoughts. When did the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice become so agile?

"Yes, Xue Gui gave his subordinates the feeling that he was going to take someone down."

"Who do you take? That Li Wenhao? Or Lu Wangshang?"

"We should take Li Wenhao first. Lu Wangshang will not be involved until the case files are confirmed."

Jiang Cheng frowned, took a deep look at Shen Hao in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think? It seems that you are not optimistic about these actions of the chief case division?"

Jiang Cheng knew his protégé very well, and knew that Shen Hao was a thoughtful and active person. Moreover, the task has always been done as far as it is asked to do. Now it is obvious that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has made a major breakthrough in the case, but Shen Hao's expression clearly shows hesitation, which makes Jiang Cheng pay special attention.

From Jiang Cheng's point of view, his protégé is much, much better than those wastes in the case department, so he wants to ask why Shen Hao is frowning.

"My lord, something is wrong. The whole case is not right from the "thread"."

"Huh? Don't be a fool, just say what you think, what's wrong?"

On the way here, Shen Hao sorted out the details of the case several times in his mind, when Jiang Cheng asked about it, he followed the trend and said: "My lord, this subordinate feels that the investigation method of the Major Case Division is not right.

An assassination operation with the goal of killing the prince of the country has been prepared for at least half a year, and all the details must have been considered over and over again, and there will even be several rehearsals, and finally wait for the right opportunity to take action. It hits right away, and after one blow, it can travel thousands of miles away or directly cut off all middle and lower-level connections, so that the action can't be traced.

The old book collector and the bookshop guy were directly poisoned or abducted and buried, who can check it? Even if it is found, it will take a long time, right? There will be plenty of time to deal with all the slack.

To put it bluntly, if the subordinates are asked to do this matter, then the Department of Custody and Major Cases will not be able to continue the investigation after checking the beginning. Of course, if we use our Xuan Qingwei's method, it is not impossible to do arbitrarily and directly go outside the board to recruit Yin and reversely check with one hand. However, the Chief Case Division clearly has no such skills.

This is one, and it doesn't make sense logically. It's like treating King Lu as a second idiot.

The second is that Lu Wangshang's reputation has always been moderate, and his management of power is obvious to all. It shows that King Lu is by no means a disrespectful person. To take the initiative to collude with a person or force who might be associated with an evil cultivator, and use this person or force's evil means to assassinate another prince, isn't it inappropriate in the "big exam"?

Can the prince who colludes with evil monks win the "big test"? This subordinate thinks that His Majesty will not approve of it, right? "

Shen Hao has been hanging around in Xuanqing Guard for many years, and he knows how annoying the small group of evil monks are in the Jingjiu Dynasty. It is not enough to say that there are rats crossing the street, it can only be described as anger. These are the hatred built up by the blood and tears of thousands of innocent people who died tragically at the hands of evil cultivators.

Not to mention ordinary people, if the royal family dares to associate with or even collude with evil cultivators, it is unacceptable. Will the king of Lu be so ignorant? Anyway, Shen Hao didn't believe it.

Jiang Cheng's usual mood was disturbed by Shen Hao's remarks. Indeed, the two things Shen Hao said were wrong after a little thought, and it really felt like he was treating King Lu like a second idiot.

Could King Lu be a fool? If it is a fool, he may be killed within five years after opening the mansion. Who is not a human being who can live till now? Can't you see this shallow truth?

Shen Hao paused, and then said: "Based on the above two reasons, this subordinate thinks that the Chief Case Division's path is completely wrong. It is even possible that someone deliberately preset the path for the Chief Case Division to follow this path. Check the way down."

Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed sharply, he stood up from the chair, squinted his eyes, and said, "You mean someone is using the knife from the Ministry of Punishment to attack King Lu?"

Shen Hao: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates think this is very possible."
