Chapter 741 News
Things were just as Shen Hao expected, he could not avoid this case, and the case was no longer directly involved as he thought, but was carried out in the form of a secret investigation.
As for the helper on the bright side, this time he no longer had contact with the Ministry of Punishment, and replaced him with someone from the royal family's ancestral hall.
The nature of the royal family's ancestral hall is the same as that of the ancestral halls in ordinary people's families, and they are all responsible for handling the affairs of the family. Because it was a prince who died, the Royal Ancestral Hall would naturally come forward to help the Ministry of Punishment with some coordination matters. This happened in the Qianwang case before, but at that time Shen Hao was in the position of co-investigator, so he had no contact with the other party.
The content of the secret order is very simple, it is to ask Shen Hao to secretly investigate the murder of King Lu, and let the people of the royal family ancestral hall help him with some investigations on the surface, and it is also a channel for him to obtain first-hand information about the case. Along with the secret order, there is also a thousand-mile note that can contact the deacon of the royal family's ancestral hall.
A case report was attached to the back of the secret order, and it seems that the inscription was recorded by the deacon of the royal family's ancestral hall.
The plain and straightforward style made Shen Hao feel relieved. He was still worried that the deacon of the royal ancestral hall who assisted him in the investigation would like to add some speculations of his own to the case. Now it seems that others still have some common sense. The description of the case Unpretentious, very real.
Shen Haozai read it carefully, his brows gradually wrinkled.
It has to be said that the situation of the case is far from what Shen Hao thought. The only thing that is barely unexpected is that King Lu's death seems to be the same as the previous death of King Qian, both of which were caused by the sudden collapse of his soul, and he died instantly.
Except for the cause of death, which didn't seem to be an accident, almost all the other details of the case made Shen Haoru completely lost his sense of direction.
According to the information obtained in the previous case of King Qian, the killer who came to King Qian should be a talisman master who came from the city of Wushi and belonged to Zhang Rutie or Lin Qinghong. The "Nine Techniques Scattering Soul Curse" in "The Curse" kills people.
If logically deduced, the cause of death is the same and rare, and the time is similar, there is a high probability that the same murderer did it, and it should be the same method of murder.
But the problem is that there is no carrier for the method of "integrating skills into words" at the scene, and even King Lu is a person who doesn't like reading at all.
This completely disrupted Shen Hao's train of thought, adding countless uncertainties.
"There is no carrier for performing the spell, so how did you kill King Lu? And you killed him in front of King Lu's guards. Could it be that the person who did it was a master of the Xuanhai Realm?" Shen Hao even hit the thought directly. Hiding on Yang Wenguang's body in Wuzhuang. Because when it comes to masters in the Xuanhai Realm, Yang Wenguang, the King of Jin, is the only one in the imperial city who is out of control and has malicious intentions.
But soon Shen Hao shook his head again, denying the possibility of Yang Wenguang personally making a move.
The reason why Shen Hao was sure that Yang Wenguang did not act personally was based on the emperor's reaction. Whether it is the news of Heishui or the content of this secret order, there is no trace of "Your Majesty's wrath" at all, as if the death is just a passer-by, not the emperor's son.
This kind of indifference should be an attitude in Shen Hao's view. One: As long as it is within the rules of the "big exam", I will not interfere.
As for why the emperor obviously showed some emotions when the king died before? Shen Hao thinks there are two possibilities: the first one may be the first time to lose a son, and he is not used to it; the second one may be that the emperor prefers Qian Wang to Lu Wang.
In this way, if the emperor does not express his position, it means that the death of King Lu is within the rules of the "big test". The rules of the "Big Exam" clearly do not allow monks in the Xuanhai Realm to directly intervene.
So Shen Hao denied the possibility of Yang Wenguang's direct attack.
In fact, Shen Hao has always been curious about the "invigilator" of the royal family's "big exam". Obviously no one saw it, but the "big test" could actually be included in a rule. What kind of power is it, and how does it work?
Fu'an Palace, warm soup.
Yang Jian soaked in the warm soup and looked at it repeatedly with a copper bar, and it took a long time before he put it down. This is an intelligence analysis from the Pangban newspaper in the afternoon. It is not supported by evidence and is based on logical deduction.
In normal times, Yang Jian would be dismissive of this kind of pure "guessing" without evidence, even he thought that a prudent person like Pang Ban would not present such things to him.
But right now, the timing of this analysis coincides with the murder of King Lu, and after reading the whole article several times, it seems that the conclusion of the analysis cannot be completely ruled out.
"This "black water" is interesting!" Yang Jian put down the copper bar and took a sip of herbal tea at hand, feeling a little emotional.
"Yes. I heard that Pang Ban's Heiqi Battalion did it alone."
"The Black Flag Camp was originally Pang Ban's helpless move after being forced into a corner by the civil servants. There were Black Flag Camps in the Fushi Yamen of the four major towns across the country, but the one that really played a role was the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City. A single seedling. Hehe, Pang Ban's luck is pretty good, otherwise he will be punished for being lazy."
Yang Xiusheng also nodded and said: "It is indeed Pang Ban's luck. But it is really rare to be able to establish such an intelligence system with the power of a black flag battalion in a city. The case is to send them to investigate, right?"
Yang Xiusheng still remembered the dossier about the murder of King Qian from Xuanqingwei. The conclusion of the case is more convincing, and the most important thing is that the logic is smooth, unlike the Ministry of Criminal Justice who treats King Lu as a fool.
And that dossier came from the Black Flag Battalion of Fengri City.
Yang Jian hummed, and said: "I remember it seems to be a chief officer named Shen, yes, Shen Hao. He is very thoughtful, and has won the support of Pang Ban and Jiang Cheng. He made a pilot before, and now Jingxi Black Flag The battalions were all integrated into one again, and this Shen Hao was already a five-rank official of a thousand households at a young age. He was the one who created the black water, and he was also investigating the case of King Qian. This time, the death of King Lu will also be handed over to He was relieved.
Tsk, I don't know, it's only after I know that those people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice are really trash. "
Even though he had lost another son, this time Yang Jian never showed any sorrow on his face or heart. The part of his heart as the father had been hidden by him when the king died last time. Now Yang Jian is just a pure emperor. He doesn't care which son died, what he cares about is which son can recover from the crisis. Stand out as a winner in complex situations.
It was also for this reason that Yang Jian did not reach out when he received the news about King Ling being in danger tomorrow morning. Because he feels that this is also part of the "big test".
