Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 581 Judge Gongsun is not here, so Lin Chong can only solve the case!
"Brother, it's bad! Judge Gongsun has been taken away!"

On the Lin family's martial arts training ground, Shi Qian jumped over and said hastily.

Li Yan's face darkened, and he immediately retracted his gun: "Has anyone followed? Talking while walking?"

Shi Qian looked ashamed: "Brother, I didn't follow, I don't know where they went now..."

Li Yan stopped in his tracks: "With Judge Gongsun's strength and vigilance, the one who can take him away is by no means an idler. It's not your fault. Take it easy."

Lu Junyi and Suo Chao also surrounded him, and Shi Qian settled down and said: "Brother told me to pay attention to Judge Gongsun, and beware of the bandits who are not following me for revenge. I was wandering around Judge Gongsun's house just now, and I heard the sound of fighting." .”

"From far away, I saw Judge Gongsun fighting with a person. That person is extremely skilled in martial arts. I didn't dare to approach him. I just peeked from a distance. He and Judge Gongsun should know each other."

"The two were not only talking, but when Judge Gongsun was defeated by him, the man also talked to himself for a while before taking Judge Gongsun away."

Li Yandao: "What does that person look like?"

Shi Qian said: "Big body, with a fierce face, tattoos on the bare arms, and a long black stick, Judge Gongsun is no match for him at all, and he was beaten to death after only twenty or thirty hits."

Lu Junyi clenched the long stick in his hand: "It's really such a martial art, there are not many people in the capital, brother, should I go to the Yuquan Gym and ask the coach Zhou?"

Li Yan was gratified by his reaction: "That's right, the powerful figures in the capital, the head coach Zhou knows best, you go and come back quickly."

After Lu Junyi went, Suo Chao asked the way that person took Judge Gongsun away, and his eyes moved: "The direction this person is going seems to be the route directly out of the city..."

Li Yandao: "Under normal circumstances, if someone came here specifically to assassinate Judge Gongsun, they would definitely not waste time communicating with each other, let alone show mercy. It should be certain that the two are familiar with each other, and there should be some other purpose in taking him out of the city... "

Suo Chao thought about the direction of the court recently, and said angrily: "Judge Gongsun is obviously the hero who wiped out Wuyou Cave, but he was suppressed, especially the empress dowager's treatment. Bianjing, it’s not a bad thing!”

Li Yandao: "If Judge Gongsun feels disheartened after this blow and wants to leave Bianjing, we will send him off, but we can't just sit back and watch him be forcibly taken away."

Suo Chao nodded: "What brother said is true, it should be so!"

Li Yan said to Shi Qian: "Have you developed some eyeliner in the shipping area?"

Shi Qian showed embarrassment, shook his head and said: "I don't know water, and I don't know the people on the waterway. Today's eyeliners are mostly people from Goulan and Zhengdianjiaodian in Washi. Waterway shipping has not yet developed."

Li Yandao: "This piece needs to be grasped, and we don't expect it to be done overnight, but we can't do anything at the critical moment. Bianjing's greatest geographical advantage is the water system extending in all directions, which is the throat of Heshuo. If you want to transport Gongsun Judge, who is limited in movement, by land, it will be easy. To recover, taking the water route is the fastest and most concealed route, so we must investigate."

Shi Qian nodded heavily: "I understand."

Li Yan took care of some important points again, and while he was talking, he saw Lu Junyi returning in a hurry, and before he arrived, he shouted: "As expected, Coach Zhou knows that that person should be Judge Gongsun's senior brother, Ding Run, the official of the Imperial City Office." .”

Suo Chao breathed a sigh of relief: "Brothers from the same school, it turned out to be a false alarm!"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's hard to say at the moment, I hope it's not the same family who turned against each other, and came from the Imperial City Division..."

He was a little apprehensive about this department at first. After all, it was the orthodox spy agency of the Song Dynasty in history. As a result, after observing this period of time, the Imperial City Department most likely did not pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but it was indeed declining.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the stage when the inner guard of the Tang Dynasty was abolished by Li Zhi had a greater sense of existence than this department.

It’s not surprising if you think about it carefully. The original purpose of the Imperial City Division was to secure the interior. Zhao Kuangyin was not in the right position. He was afraid that others would follow suit, so he created this institution to monitor his officials. It was equivalent to He did the work of internal guards of plum blossoms, and later added foreign investigation information.

However, after the confrontation and weakening of the past dynasties, the voice of the civil official group has become stronger and stronger. This department that is not in line with Confucian political correctness will naturally become weaker and weaker. It is also stable with the imperial power of Emperor Zhao and Song, so there is no need for such a It is related to the control of the government by means, until the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, the Imperial City Division prospered again, and it was useful again at that time.

Knowing the background of the times, and looking at Ding Run, who is superb in martial arts, but can only be an official in the imperial city, Li Yan has an idea in his mind and is about to make an arrangement.

Li Yan asked someone to come in, and saw Qiu Yuzuo almost running in: "Mr. Lin! Something happened to Saburo!"

Li Yandao: "Qiu Kong is not in a hurry. We have just discovered that the preliminary judgment is that Ding Run, the official of the Imperial City Division, did it. This person is said to be Gongsun Judge's senior brother. Do you have any impression of him?"

Qiu Yuzuo suddenly seemed to be pardoned: "It turned out to be him, I thought that the leader of the thief in Wuyou Cave came to take revenge..."

He wheezed a few times and regained his composure: "Judge Gongsun mentioned to me that this person is indeed a brother of the same school. Although his temperament is different, he has always taken good care of him. If it is Mr. Ding's business, at least his life will not be in danger. "

Li Yan nodded slightly: "Judging from Ding Gongshi's actions, it is true that he did not mean to kill Judge Gongsun, but just wanted to take him away from the capital."

Qiu Wuzuo frowned when he heard the words, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Li Yan knew that this close friend of Gongsun Zhao might also want him to go out to avoid the limelight, so he asked, "How did Qiu Kongmu know that something happened to Judge Gongsun?"

Qiu Yu wrote: "Before we parted, Judge Gongsun said to go back to rest and recharge his batteries, but just now there was a problem with an important case. I went to his house to ask for advice, but found that the horse was in the stable, but no one was there. Something is wrong, so I rushed to ask Mr. Lin for help."

Lu Junyi next to him said: "In the huge Kaifeng mansion, there is no way that Judge Gongsun will be missing, so there will be no one to judge the case? Why do you have to bother you to come forward for everything?"

Qiu Yuzuo sighed: "Of course not on weekdays, but this case is indeed no small matter, only after the two county kings were killed, and now Han Xiu is still in prison, after the four officials in the government office inspected the scene, they were all at a loss .”

"The case has been reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. Those people are willing to solve ordinary cases. When they heard that the dead were all internal officials, they all shunned and refused to come..."

"I will report to Fan Zhige when I go back. He has no choice but to ask Judge Gongsun to come forward, at least to guide him on how to solve the case."

Suo Chao snorted: "Judge Gongsun investigates the case all day long, and he is blamed and reprimanded. Seeing his fate, who would not feel bad about it? Anyway, I won't go if it's me!"

Lu Junyi said: "Stop, stop, don't vent your anger on Qiu Kongmu!"

Suo Chao looked apologetic, Qiu Yu made a wry smile, and then looked over eagerly: "Mr. Lin, Judge Gongsun has been 'invited' away by Mr. Ding again. No one else will come to such an important case. If you can go to the scene, we Kaifeng Mansion Everyone in the yamen agrees!"

Li Yan was silent for a while, wondering if the Great Song Dynasty's assists were too much, and then said: "What are you talking about, isn't that why I chose to be a consultant? Let's go!"

……

Killing scene.

The Kaifeng government office warmly welcomed Consultant Lin's arrival.

He only solves the case and does not divide the merits. His righteousness is too small, and he is indifferent to fame and fortune.

How can our Kaifeng government office, He De, be able to invite this person?

In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Li Yan was neither overbearing nor humble, and took it lightly. After returning to the scene, he shouldered the responsibility of a detective.

This is Tong Guan's first house. Not only did most of the servants die, but the corpses in other yards have been treated to a certain extent. This is the yard. The corpses are specially piled up in the backyard to ventilate the smell.

After inspecting the scene, Li Yan carefully made an analysis: "There is no trace of search at the scene, and the property is not lost. The number of murderers is unknown, but the motive is clear. It should be seeking revenge."

"Since there are serious conflicts between the murderer and the people in the house here, to solve the case, we must find out the identities of these deceased in order to obtain clues to trace the murderer."

"These people are all internal officials of Miyagi, have you reported to the palace yet?"

Qiu Yu said: "It has been notified, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not responded, and Tong Duzhi has not sent anyone. It seems that there is no need to worry..."

His last sentence was rather vague, but in fact he was very skeptical that the servants in the room were Tong Guan's subordinates, and the murderer was the leader of the Wuyou Cave thief, but he didn't want to say it clearly, and he didn't dare to judge rashly.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not respond, I will report it directly to Funing Palace and ask the courtiers around the Queen Mother to come and have a look. After all, the deceased is a person in the palace, and it is not good for the Kaifeng government office to do it for him. Confirm the identity, let the internal officials report to the Empress Dowager, and then consider whether to let the palace take the lead and order the three divisions to cooperate to investigate the case together."

Several push officials were secretly surprised, and felt that the reputation was well-deserved. This man was even more proficient in handling government affairs than them: "Mr.

Li Yandao: "While waiting for the response from the palace, please sort out the books and essays in the house first. Since the murderer has not searched the house, he basically keeps it as it is. Don't let go of any items with handwriting. There are key evidence clues, from which it may be possible to find out the enmity between the murderer and the victim."

Everyone was convinced: "Yes!"

Seeing the progress of the investigation, which was still at a loss before, he immediately became busy in an orderly manner, and Qiu Yuzuo came to Li Yan's side.

Some heartfelt words made the consultant feel a little embarrassed: "This year has been an eventful year. Looking back, the happiest thing is to wipe out the Worry-free Cave. The luckiest thing is to meet Lin Lin." Son!"
