Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 222 Marks
"what?"

Hearing Ani's words, Xu Zun was taken aback for a moment, then looked around vigilantly.

spy?

"Shh..."

Ani hissed calmly, Xu Zun immediately understood what she meant, and immediately nodded repeatedly, not letting others see the surprise on his face.

Next, Xu Zun asked Da Lang, the winner, to take him to the shameful boudoir to have a look, and at the same time asked Hou Zhen to prepare for the portrait of the painter.

Rusha's boudoir is filled with an intoxicating fragrance, I don't know if there is any special condiment added to this fragrance, which makes Xu Zun feel a little restless and itchy.

Too……

Xu Zun thought of the girls cultivated in Qinglan Temple, and felt that even an elderly man, who could resist the temptation of stunning beauty?

Xu Zun ordered his subordinates to search the room, taking advantage of this gap, Xu Zun pulled Ani aside and asked her what she meant just now?Why do you say there are traitors here?
"I saw a mark on the pillar of the restaurant," Annie said, "That kind of mark is probably used by Taoism for communication!"

"Ah?" Xu Zun asked quickly, "What mark? What does the mark mean?"

"Go back and take a look," Annie said. "They are all simple lines. They must have changed the marks. I can't understand them."

Xu Zun frowned, feeling more and more that the case was not simple.

"I guess...there are only two possibilities," Ani said again, "either someone left a mark on the female killer, asking her to act or retreat.

"Either, it was left by the female killer for others, or she wanted to convey some message..."

Xu Zun thought carefully, if it is the first possibility, then the person who left the mark is likely to be a person who can often enter and exit the winner, and this person is a traitor.

If it is the second type, then it means that they did not just leave, but still have important plans.

The mole...could be the investigators who came in later, or someone else.

wrong……

Xu Zun quickly thought that the first possibility was not likely, because if someone left a message for the female killer, they should not engrave a mark on the stone pillar of the restaurant, that would be too obvious.

So... that mark is likely to be the second case, the mark is left by the female killer, and she wants to convey a message to other Taoist traitors.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that the female killer has not left the city, and the mark may be to tell the responders where she is.

call……

In an instant, Xu Zun's mind was wide open, thinking of countless possibilities, and at the same time seeing a certain hope.

Although this hope is very slim, he will never miss it.

"Ani," Xu Zun said to Ani, "Write down that mark, and then ask Ashio and the others to look around to see if there are any other marks?"

"Okay." Ani clasped her fists and nodded, looking more and more like her subordinates.

"Old Zhao!" Xu Zun ordered, "Go and gather all the servants in the house, ask about the places that Ruxie has been to since she passed the door, and give me a clear track of her activities!"

Xu Zun's words were somewhat avant-garde, Zhao Yu was stunned for a few seconds, and then he gradually understood, and went to investigate according to Xu Zun's instructions.

"Anu," Xu Zun gave instructions to Huo Anu again, "Go and ask the family members of Minister Ying, get the list of people who have been guests to Minister Ying's house recently, I want to see who has been to his house. "

"Yes!" Huo Anu took the order and left.

"Hou Zhen," Xu Zun called Hou Zhen over again and ordered, "Send two people to the Ministry of Industry to find out the work situation of Minister Ying, as well as the important documents and work materials in his office. And bring it back to the Inner Guard Mansion, I want to check it out."

"Yes!" Hou Zhen didn't have any nonsense, after Yonghui's investigation, they were already familiar with Xu Zun's working methods.

Since Xu Zun wants to check like this, it means there must be something wrong with it.

However, that catcher Dongfang Yaoluo had never seen a case handled like this before, and she kept watching with her arms crossed.

In her opinion, Xu Zun is still wasting time.

If the investigation continues like this, let alone the dawn of the investigation, even if the investigation continues for a few days, the seventeen assassinations will not be exhausted.

"Mm... my lord..." At this time, after hearing Xu Zun's order, Winner Dalang quickly cupped his hands and said, "My little man and my father both work in the Ministry of Industry. You can also ask me about the unit."

"Oh? You are also from the Ministry of Industry?" Xu Zun said, "That's great. I heard that Minister Ying is working on a project recently. Tell me about it."

"Yes," Winner Dalang said immediately, "My father is supervising the renovation project of the Taimiao. The Taimiao has been in disrepair for a long time. The Holy Majesty ordered the Ministry of Industry to renovate for fear of negligence."

"Tai Temple..."

Xu Zun's heart skipped a beat, this Taimiao is a place where royal tablets are enshrined, and after it is completed, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor must come to offer sacrifices in person.

Is it...

"Then..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "When will this renovation be completed?"

"Four years later," Dalang the winner replied, "because this repair is a national priority, it is said to be a renovation, but it is actually a reconstruction, so the construction period is longer."

Oh……

Xu Zun was immediately disappointed, it was impossible to wait for such a long time for the Taoist Heavenly Tribulation.

"Then..." Xu Zun thought for a while, pulled the winner Dalang aside, and asked, "What is the relationship between your father and Liang Guogong?"

Xu Zun's original intention was to ask the other party about the relationship between Yingrang and the other sixteen assassinated ministers.

However, due to the news blockade, the winner Dalang did not know that other ministers were assassinated, so Xu Zun could not ask too directly.

"I don't know about that," Winner Dalang shook his head, "Duke Liang Guo has such a high status, so my father probably doesn't know it?"

Afterwards, Xu Zun asked a few more people, Dalang the winner also shook his head, saying that his father was in charge of construction and had little contact with officials from other departments, but had a close relationship with Cao Ding, the master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry who was also assassinated and died.

"Master of the Ministry of Industry?"

Xu Zun didn't know what to think of, and suddenly flashed in his mind about the good money bureau in a certain TV series, and what would be the chief supervisor.

So he asked, "What does this Cao Ding do?"

"Shui Lingcheng of the Holy Capital, a fourth-rank official," Dalang the winner said, "is in charge of the construction of the river in the Holy Capital and dredging water conservancy. My father and Cao Lingcheng have a close friendship, and Cao Lingcheng often comes to my house as a guest."

Oh……

Xu Zun fell into deep thought again, and a character named Yuan Tiangang appeared in his mind. It seemed that in some drama, he used the flooding of the river to carry out his conspiracy.

So... is there a problem with this Cao Ding?
Thinking of this, Xu Zun remembered that he still had an expert with him, so he asked Tie Jing from Dali Temple:

"Old Tie, isn't the water system in our holy capital relatively developed?"

"Huh? Ask me?" Tie Jing was dozing off, and when he heard Xu Zun's question, he waited for a long time before saying, "That's natural. Xuanmiao City's ancient channels lead to the Jinyinjiang River into the city. The water system is criss-cross. By boat, you can reach Qizhou in the east and Mingzhou in the south, and this water transportation is naturally the best in the world.”

"Then..." Xu Zun asked, "Have you ever had a flood?"

"That's impossible," Tie Jing waved his hand, "the water is brought in. The Zhuge family built the Jinjiang Weir 400 years ago to channel the river water into Xuanmiao City. During the flood season, the river water would also rush downstream... "

"Oh..." Xu Zun suddenly remembered something, and asked again, "In other words, it's not the flood season now?"

"That's right," Tie Jing nodded, "Even if it's a flood season, there's nothing wrong with it. The holy capital is located in the Songzhou Plain, and the terrain is relatively high. No matter how heavy the rain falls, the rainwater will flow to the lower places..."

Gee...

Xu Zun pondered, since the dangers he could think of were all impossible to happen, then what method would Xuanmen use to carry out the catastrophe?
Or... is there no catastrophe at all?
