Chapter 81
The arrival of Yan Jian rescued Peng Ke.

When he was brought into the main hall by the guards, Peng Ke immediately asked, "Master Yan, have you sorted out the files that I asked you to check last time?"

Now Wuyanzong is in the past tense, so it is naturally impossible for Peng Ke to call him Yanzongzhu again.

But let's call it an official position, Yan Jian is just a trial household at this time, the official is a bit too small.

Therefore, the title of master is still the most suitable.

Yan Jian had already been reminded by the guards in advance. After he nodded, he took out a book from his sleeve.

"This is all the investigation records I copied about the murder of Mr. Mu's family eight years ago. It records in detail the process of handling the entire case and the collection of evidence."

Penke waved his hand, and the guard stepped forward to take the booklet and handed it to Penke.

"On the sixth day of August in the 20th year of Hongwu, Mu Guoli, the head of the Mu family in the south of the Yangtze River, came to ask the sect to help him investigate the murder of his eldest son."

"I offer you 2000 taels of silver as a reward."

"Disciples Chi Jinlin, Fu Shaobao, and Sun Zhan are in charge of the investigation."

"The third disciple first went to the scene of the murder..."

"After checking..."

"Catch the bandits... bring them to justice."

"The confession is undeniable, the evidence is conclusive...the case is closed."

Penke carefully looked at the contents of the brochure.

Although there are not many words, only a few hundred words, but the records are very detailed.

From the collection of money, to the start of the investigation, to the clues found out, to the arrest of the suspect, to the suspect's testimony at the scene of the crime, confession of charges and other details are clearly written.

Although Peng Ke had never seen the criminal case conclusion report of the judicial department in his previous life, he felt that it was probably similar to the file of Bu Yanzong.

It is very detailed and very reasonable, so that people will not have any doubts about the case after reading it.

This is actually in line with Penke's inner guess.

A thousand-year-old sect like the Wuyan Sect still cherishes feathers and pays great attention to word-of-mouth, especially for this kind of service to wealthy households.

But this obviously didn't meet Mu Xiyun's guess.

Peng Ke sighed inwardly, and handed the brochure to Mu Xiyun: "Xiyun, take a look, this is the investigation process of the disciples of Buyanzong."

Yan Jian looked at Mu Xiyun curiously.

Who is this girl?

The appearance is very good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, beautiful face, even without makeup on the face, it is beautiful enough.

Looking at the clothes and the gold and silver jewelry on her head, this girl is very rich and noble!
Commander Peng Da is such a blessing!
He had just ransomed Gu Nianqing, the famous oiran of the Suzhou Mansion, and hooked up with such a stunning girl again?
Yan Jian looked at Peng Ke in a strange way.

In the past, there were rumors in the world that this Peng Yanwang was unfeminine and ruthless.

And according to the superficial information that Bu Yanzong has, Peng Ke is indeed not a womanizer.

There is not even a maid by her side.

Why are you so good at hooking up girls now that you've come to Jiangnan?
Is this after holding back to a certain level, it exploded completely?

Yan Jian kept sighing secretly in her heart.

Sure enough, as long as it is a man, there is no one who does not like women.

Maybe it was something from Yan Jian's eyes.

Peng Ke said to Yan Jian indifferently: "Master Yan, I forgot to introduce you. This is the eldest lady of the Mu family. The son of the Mu family who was killed eight years ago is her real brother."

"The reason why I asked you to sort out the files of this old matter is because Ms. Mu felt that there might be something wrong with your investigation of Buyanzong."

"The real culprit who killed Mr. Mu may not be the bandits, or there may be masterminds behind the bandits, but you haven't found out."

Hearing what Penke said.

Yan Jian also didn't care about Peng Ke's private life anymore.

Questioning Bu Yanzong's business is not good, that is slapping him in the face!

Yan Jian firmly retorted: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"We don't say anything. We will complete any investigation entrustment seriously, and the case will be closed only when there is sufficient evidence!"

"Once there are any clues that are not clear, we will inform the employer, and there is still a possibility of not being found!"

"But the Mu family's entrustment was closed with solid evidence back then!"

"That Mr. Mu died at the hands of these bandits. All the captured bandits confessed. The property they robbed was also searched out of their hiding place."

"All the evidence points to the fact that they are the murderers. It's a homicide case for money."

"It's just that these bandits didn't expect that what they intercepted and killed was the son of the Jiangnan Mu family."

"If they knew the identity of that person in advance, they should not dare to do such a thing."

Yan Jian continued to defend with certainty.

He had already learned about the past eight years ago in detail.

After carefully reading the file, Yan Jian could already confirm that this was an ordinary homicide case for money.

It's just that the identity of the victim is a bit surprising.

It's also no wonder that Mr. Mu insisted on taking a few guards with him to investigate the location of the new factory at the foot of the mountain.

Otherwise, there would be no such surprise.

In fact, Buyanzong took over the investigation at that time because Mu Guoli was not satisfied with the government's investigation results, so he asked Buyanzong to help with the investigation.

However, the disciples of Buyanzong followed up after some investigation.

It's really that simple to find out.

It wasn't the deliberate murder of a business competitor in Mu Guoli's imagination, or the bloody family fight of some concubine who wanted to be in power.

It was an accident.

After both the government and Bu Yanzong came to such a conclusion, Mu Guoli stopped there.

Now that eight years have passed, the members of the Mu family have doubts about the accident that year, and even questioned whether Bu Yanzong had found out the truth?

Yan Jian couldn't bear this wave of groundless accusations.

But Mu Xiyun's rebuttal to Yan Jian seemed to be unknown.

After reading the file calmly, she raised her head to look at Peng Ke, and asked softly, "Brother Peng, can you let me meet the three Buyan Sect disciples who investigated the case back then."

"I want to ask them face to face about the investigation process of the year."

Penke sighed inwardly.

Mu Xiyun is really persistent.

But it's not difficult, he turned his head and said to Yan Jian: "Master Yan, I'm sorry."

Yan Jian's face was full of displeasure, but because of Peng Ke's order, he still nodded with an ugly expression.

"They have all been recalled by me, and they are resting in the side hall."

Penke nodded in satisfaction.

"Then invite them over."

The two guards hurriedly left the main hall and went to the side hall to call for someone.

After a while, three middle-aged men ranging in age from 30 to 40 were brought into the main hall.

"Chi Jinlin."

"Fu Shaobao."

"Sun Zhan."

"See your lord!"
