Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 224

Because Xu Zun ordered the guards to check Yingrang's work before, only Hou Zhen and A Xiuzai were with him at the moment.

After breaking into Shui Lingcheng Cao Ding's house at this moment, everyone quickly closed the door and locked the door with the bolts. At the same time, they all held the door firmly with their shoulders, for fear that the soldiers outside would rush into the courtyard.

"You...you..."

Like Yingrang's house, there are also guards sent by the Neiwei Mansion, Shenhunsi, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment here.

Seeing someone breaking in, they all showed their weapons.

"Shh..." Hou Zhen quickly showed his inner guard badge, everyone was startled, and they clasped their fists in a salute.

"Shh..."

Hou Zhen hissed again, telling them to be quiet.

snoring...

At this moment, a large number of soldiers rushed past outside the door, mixed with shouts of killing, as if they were going to fight somewhere.

All of a sudden, the flames outside the courtyard burst into flames, bright as day, and the cannons fired from the direction of the palace, shaking the ground and shaking everyone's heart.

Fortunately, the group of soldiers who suddenly appeared outside did not seem to be coming towards Xu Zun and the others. They ran past outside quickly, and quickly weakened their voices.

wheeze...

wheeze...

Seeing Xu Zun and others gasping for breath, their faces covered in cold sweat, even Hou Zhen and other guards of the Inner Guard Mansion had never encountered such an emergency.

"Master Xu!" Ashio was the first to react, and asked Xu Zun for instructions, "There is such a chaos in the holy capital, I must report back to the Inner Guard Mansion and find out the situation at the same time. My lord..."

"Okay..." Xu Zun nodded, "Be careful!"

"Ah Xiu," Zhao Yu added, "You can go and have a look, and don't forget to come back and tell us when you find out what happened."

"Yes!"

A Xiuzai immediately climbed up a jujube tree in the courtyard, then jumped to the top of the wall, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Xu Zun originally wanted to praise him "good light work", but it was obviously out of date.

"My lords..." At this time, a guard asked, "What happened, it seems that there is a fight outside!"

"Yeah," asked a guard in a police uniform, "could someone mutiny?"

"Shut up!" Dongfang Yaoluo immediately yelled, "Mind your own errands carefully, and be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

"Dong...Master Dongfang..." The policeman recognized Dongfang Yaoluo at this moment, and he clasped his fists in a salute, not daring to make a sound.

That Tie Jing wanted to express some opinions, but Dongfang Yaoluo said so, he didn't dare to say anything else.

"Jiying," Chen Taiji came to Xu Zun's side and whispered, "It seems that this Heavenly Tribulation has achieved results! We... are still too late after all!"

Chen Taiji's words were full of helplessness, the situation has developed to such an extent that they are no longer in the control of these people.

"Special Envoy Xu," Dongfang Yaoluo said to Xu Zun at this time, "The current situation is unclear, what do you think we should do?"

Dongfang Enchanting's words obviously contained complaints, from the very beginning, she thought that Xu Zun was doing useless work.

It's good now, the holy capital is in chaos, so what's the point of checking?
However, facing Dongfang Enchanting's question, Xu Zun said very firmly: "Didn't you just say that? Take care of your own errands, let's do our own work!"

"you……"

Hearing Xu Zun's words, everyone was surprised and cast strange glances.

"Why..." Tie Jing muttered in a low voice, "It's at this time, and I can't protect myself, so why not investigate?"

"If there is a rebellion," Xu Zun said, "then we are going back to the Neiwei Mansion now, it would be safer to stay here."

This……

Everyone thought, Xu Zun's words were quite reasonable. If someone really rebelled, it would be better if the government army won.

But once the rebel army wins, they will naturally not let go of such an important department as Xiang Neiwei.Not to mention the Neiwei Mansion, the God Detective Division, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment have all become dangerous areas.

Therefore, instead of going back, it is better to stay at the home of Cao Ding, the Shui Lingcheng.

"Since that's the case," Xu Zun turned to face Cao Ding's mansion, and said, "Idle is idle, how about continuing to investigate the case!"

……

After a while, Xu Zun and others who entered Cao Ding's residence stabilized their emotions a little, but it is impossible to be completely calm.

People of Tie Jing's age have never encountered a mutiny in the holy capital, let alone other people.

Everyone was restless and apprehensive, lest this rebellion would turn into war and slaughter.

To be honest, Xu Zun also had no idea and was extremely depressed, but there was nothing he could do?

What Zhao Yu said was right, he was really like a catastrophe coming down to earth, big events would happen wherever he went.

Originally, he thought that he could be regarded as someone who had seen the world, but compared with the current situation, those were nothing!

I thought that the iron coffin case was the peak at the beginning, but now it seems that it doesn't even count as vitiligo.

OMG!

I came to Daxuan by myself because I wanted to live and have fun, how could it be like this?How could there be such a mess in the world?
While thinking about it, a guard from the Inner Guard Mansion led Xu Zun to Cao Ding's study, and at the same time introduced Xu Zun:

"Cao Lingcheng was killed here.

"At noon the day before yesterday, Cao Lingcheng had no lunch break due to his busy schedule, and had been working in his study.

"The assassin should be Cao Lingcheng's wife, Mei Xiang. According to the servants in the family, since Cao Lingcheng was killed, she has never been seen again."

"Meixiang? Wife?" Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Isn't it a concubine?"

"Yes," the guard nodded, and introduced, "Cao Lingcheng's first wife passed away early and had no heirs. Unexpectedly, he was single for many years, but he still couldn't resist the temptation and married Mei Xiang a year ago.

"This Mei Xiang is extremely beautiful, and she is only twenty years old."

"Then... where is she from?" Xu Zun asked.

"I asked," the guard said, "The servants don't know either. They only now realize that this person is suspicious, because since she passed the door, no family member of her natal family has ever visited her."

"What about the wound?" Xu Zun asked again, "How did Cao Lingcheng get assassinated?"

"Seal the throat with a sword," the guard said, "the movement is clean and quick, look at the wound, it is definitely not done by ordinary people, and Mei Xiang must have profound martial arts."

"Um……"

Xu Zun nodded slightly. From this point of view, Cao Ding's situation was the same as Ying Rang's, he was killed by a well-trained Taoist assassin.

Although this Meixiang is the wife of the main house, her nature is the same as that of a concubine.

Xu Zun inspected the scene carefully, but saw that the study room was extremely messy, with books and albums scattered on the floor, and there were still eye-catching bloodstains on the desk, exuding an unpleasant smell.

But judging from the bloodstains, after Cao Ding was stabbed, he should have been lying on the desk, so the desk was soaked in blood.

but……

Xu Zun's observation skills are astonishing, he only took a few glances and found several suspicious points.

First of all, since Cao Ding was assassinated before the case, why is the house so messy?

Could it be... is the assassin looking for something?
Or... what was the assassin trying to cover up?
The second point is that the blood on the desk is uneven. It seems that someone took something from the desk after Cao Ding died, which caused the blood to change shape.

Judging from the traces, what was taken away should be documents or books.

And the last point is also the point that Xu Zun can't understand the most.

According to Mei Xiang's kung fu, if she wants to assassinate Cao Ding, it must not be a difficult task, right?
So...she must marry Cao Ding first, and then kill him after a year of dormancy?

"grown ups……"

Xu Zun was thinking to himself, but Ani on the opposite side pointed to a corner of the bookcase and said to Xu Zun:
"My lord, look, there is also a mark here..."
