Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 221 Tempest
For Xu Zun, the night in Xuanmiao City is destined to be different.

The bright moon hangs high, and the place is full of prosperity.

There are not only ancient Chinese-style buildings in the city, but also many exotic foreign buildings, as well as some wonderful and unique unknown buildings.

In a trance, Xu Zun actually had a strange illusion.

But after absorbing the memories in my mind, I realized that the Great Profound Sage Capital has come to court from all nations, and it is inclusive of everything. Many foreigners and alien races have settled here since ancient times.

Take the elderly Cheng Tiejing of Dali Temple as an example. He is an old man with blue eyes and a tall nose, with obvious features of foreigners.

However, this does not affect him becoming the prime minister of Dali Temple.

Dali Temple is the head of the three law divisions, and Dali Temple Cheng is equivalent to the third in command of Dali Temple, second only to Dali Temple Qing and Dali Temple Shaoqing.

In this large-scale assassination incident, Dali Temple Minister Liu Jin was also among them and unfortunately died.

Now Dali Temple has no leader and is a mess, so Tie Jing sitting in the carriage is a little absent-minded.

"Hmph," the Eastern God Catcher in the same carriage glanced over the curtain, and snorted coldly, "The Neiwei Mansion is getting more and more outrageous!

"At this time, it is a waste of time to get such a guy of unknown origin to investigate the case instead of arresting the Taoist rebellious party."

"Ah..." Tie Jing stroked his beard and said impetuously, "Just check it out. It's the middle of the night. Why are you torturing me, an old man?"

"He doesn't think..." The Eastern God Catcher guessed, "Those female assassins can still be caught, right? Such a bloody case is brewing in Xuanmen, so they must have already planned their way out. We are obviously doing useless work."

"I'm not worried about these things," Tie Jing said, "The Neiwei Mansion can't be provoked, let them make trouble! What I'm most afraid of now is that the saints have changed!"

Tie Jing didn't speak clearly, but the meaning was very clear. What he worried most was that there would be chaos in the court, and he only thought about how to avoid the disaster?

The Eastern God Catcher wanted to complain again, but seeing that the topic between himself and Tie Jing was not sparking, he shut his mouth and turned to thinking about something.

At the same moment, Chen Taiji was talking to Xu Zun in the carriage ahead, and at the same time introducing the situation to Xu Zun.

"Because the name is a little... um... a little special, so Cai Geling didn't introduce her name to you," Chen Taiji said, "Dongfang Shenchui is the headhunter of the Shenchui Division. Although it is also a headhunter, but the quality The rank is not low, and even many senior officials in the court have to give her some points.

"After all, the God Detective Department was also founded by the queen mother herself, who would dare to offend?"

"Special?" Xu Zun was curious, "Then what is her name?"

"Oriental Enchanting," Chen Taiji said the name of the Eastern God Catcher, "She is a child of the noble Dongfang family in Pingyuan. She grew up in Xuanmiao City since she was a child, and she often investigates cases and arrests important criminals, so she is quite familiar with the holy capital. Power, light and dark, black and white are used by her, and her connections are extremely wide."

"Oriental enchanting..." Xu Zun smacked his lips to taste, feeling that this name is really special, no wonder Cai Kun didn't call him by his name directly when he introduced it.

"Jiying," Chen Taiji paused for a moment, and said to Xu Zun, "Do you think there is any problem with this large-scale assassination?"

Seeing that Xu Zun did not deny it, Chen Taiji's expression changed instantly.

"Why..." he asked in a low voice, "Do you think the Xuanmen's attack is not over yet?"

sharp……

Xu Zun looked at Chen Taiji, no wonder Cai Kun had a high opinion of this person, he really had a quick mind.

"I'm not sure yet," Xu Zun said, "but Xuanmen named this attack Heavenly Tribulation, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Is it still simple?" Chen Taiji said, "This assassination of Xuanmen is not only aimed at the holy capital, but throughout the whole country, which has touched the foundation of Daxuan.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire," he said worriedly. "Originally, various forces were already dissatisfied with the queen mother, but now the fire has already started, and it is likely to be out of control!"

Ok……

Although Xu Zun has just arrived, through contact and understanding, he has already understood that the Empress Dowager Lin of the Daxuan Dynasty is different from Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty.

Although it is also monopolizing power and suppressing various forces, Empress Dowager Lin has no intention of proclaiming herself a queen, nor does she wantonly slaughter the blood of the royal family.

Outsiders estimated that it was not that Empress Dowager Lin did not want to delegate power to the emperor, but that she could not delegate power, because the emperor was weak, and the emperor's uncles were like wolves and tigers. Once power was delegated, many variables would arise.

Therefore, the current crisis may be fatal enough, once those forces that are ready to move use this as an excuse to make trouble, Daxuan will definitely be in danger.

"Xuanmiao City seems to be calm," Chen Taiji sighed, shaking his head and said, "Actually, a violent storm has already been brewing, but I don't know when this violent storm will break out!?"

……

The holy capital is really too big, and the group of people walked for nearly half an hour before arriving at an elegant house in Xinglongfang.

This is the home of Yingrang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Due to the curfew in the holy capital, there were no pedestrians on the street, and it was extremely deserted, and the gate of the house was also empty.

Hou Zhen was the first to go up and knock on the door, and as the door opened, Hou Zhen showed the token of the inner guard.

Tokens are also divided into grades, this one is the first-level internal guard token, issued by Lin Chaofeng himself.

Seeing the token, the people inside quickly opened the door and welcomed Xu Zun and others into the courtyard.

When I got to the courtyard, I saw guards with weapons everywhere.

These guards were dressed in different clothes and obviously came from different departments. After seeing Dongfang Yaoyao and Tie Jing get off the car, they all stepped forward to say hello.

After seeing the two of them actually followed Xu Zun into the house, the guards also looked surprised, thinking that some super high official had come.

After entering the house, I saw Ying Rang's body placed in the hall, but no mourning hall was set up, and the family members of the deceased did not wear filial piety.

Presumably for fear of causing panic, this place has been doing secrecy work, keeping secrets.

Fortunately, it is cold winter now, otherwise the corpse might not be preserved.

After expressing his intention to the family of the deceased, Xu Zun asked Ying Shilang's eldest son to take him to the scene of the crime.

"...My lord," Winner Dalang answered Xu Zun's question as he walked, "That concubine was married by my father three months ago, and her name is Ruxie, at most? She looks so thin, how could she be able to do so?" So ruthless?"

"Oh?" Xu Zun stopped in his tracks and asked, "Did you see her commit a murder?"

"That's right!" Winner Dalang said, "Father came back late that day because of business, and the family was having dinner..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of holding a bowl and delivering food to his mouth.

"In the end, Na Rusha cut my father's throat with a knife..." The winner Dalang said with lingering fear, "Then, in front of our family, he walked out like that...

"We...we were all frightened and stupid. When we chased her out again, she would have long since disappeared!"

While speaking, Winner Dalang had brought Xu Zun and others to the restaurant, but he saw obvious bloodstains on the floor of the restaurant.

Seeing this situation, Xu Zun looked back at A Ni.

As a result, Annie quickly took out a dagger, pressed it on the winner Dalang's neck, and asked, "Is the knife held backwards?"

"Ah..." Winner Dalang turned pale with fright, and replied tremblingly, "Well...it seems...she holds the knife in a strange posture, exactly like yours..."

Hearing this, A Ni's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she put away her knife and came to Xu Zun, leaned close to Xu Zun's ear and whispered:

"Let them draw a portrait, I seem to know the killer he mentioned."

"Oh?"

Xu Zun nodded, and wanted to give an order immediately, but Ani pressed his shoulder and added:
"Xu Zun, there are traitors here..."
