I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 15

Zhao Xuanwu was stunned for a moment, so fast!
"Where is Zhao Xuanwu?" There was obvious impatience in this person's voice, and he went ahead before he arrived.

"Master Lian." Zhao Xuanwu took a few steps quickly, bowing his hands to the other party in salute.

Lu Xizhi could barely see through the narrow door that the visitor was wearing a black official robe, with a red belt around his waist, and a flying cloud goose embroidered on the front of the coat. He was tall and straight, showing Kong Wu's powerful posture With one hand on his hips and the other holding the long sword at his waist, he looked at everyone present, including him, and four guards in red official uniforms.

"Hmph, I have long said that it is useless to keep this broken yamen, but the lord of the temple said that there is a lack of errands. He thought he could help Dali Temple with some chores. Heh, I didn't expect that three people died in a row after seven days. The emperor is alarmed! Zhao Xuanwu, if the official doesn't come today, when do you plan to arrest the culprit?"

The voice of the surname Lian made Lu Xizhi very uncomfortable. It could be heard that this yamen is the most grassroots policeman here. In the end, something happened and he had to be blamed.

The audience was silent, Zhao Xuanwu clenched his fists tightly, did not raise his head, and accepted the words forbearance: "Even my lord, brothers have been visiting and investigating every day since the incident, and they don't even have time to drink. You also know that there are really only a few people here. There are indeed practical difficulties for a few of them. But it is not without any gains."

"According to what you said, you are the most tired and the most miserable in all the leisure in Dali Temple?" The yin and yang tone continued unabated.

"I dare not." Zhao Xuanwu winked at Zhang Dong.

Zhang Dong understood and said: "Master Lian, the sun is scorching, please rest in the hall and drink some tea."

"I can't afford to drink your tea, lest people say that our Dali Temple is not doing its job properly and fishing in troubled waters." He stared at Zhao Xuanwu, and continued with a half-smile: "Why don't Zhao Tutou move me a chair, and we Say it here." Together with the four guards, several people from Dali Temple laughed mockingly.

"You..." Zhang Dong is impatient, young and energetic, and he can't help but stand up.

"Zhang Dong!" Zhao Xuanwu yelled, his eyes warned him not to act recklessly, he turned around and clasped fists at Master Lian: "This subordinate will go now."

Sir Lian didn't pay much attention to Zhang Dong at all, he squinted at him, watched with satisfaction that Zhao Xuanwu brought a chair, and politely asked him to sit in the shade, waiting for orders.

"Just stand there and talk about it. What did you find out about these three murder cases? In addition, is there any connection between them?" The surnamed Lian sat firmly on the chair, letting Zhao Xuanwu, Zhang Dong, and Wang Yuanzhi and others Everyone stood under the scorching sun and answered.

The temperature is high today, and everyone is already sweating profusely, so they don't care to wipe it off at the moment.

Zhao Xuanwu described the investigation situation in the past few days and Wang Yuanzhi's autopsy results verbatim, and added a sentence at the end: "Since the suspect is very likely to be a male with a status and status, during the investigation, The subordinates and brothers really encountered a lot of trouble, and many people were unwilling to cooperate."

"Oh? Is Mr. Zhao too arbitrary to conclude that the murderer is a wealthy businessman just based on a bit of rags?"

"This kind of fabric fiber is extremely expensive. Ordinary people, even small merchants, may not be able to afford a foot, let alone a whole robe."

Lian Shen looked at the speaker, and saw that the person had his hands behind his back neither humble nor overbearing, his shoulders were broad, and his strong figure was faintly visible under his robe. accent.

"Are you the one who boiled the bones and opened the coffin for the autopsy to identify relatives for that wild boy from the Shangshu family?"

"My name is Wang Yuanzhi."

"Oh, a pariah really thinks that he is highly regarded by Lord Shangshu? A person who meddles in other people's business must end badly." Lian Shen said meaningfully.

Wang Yuanzhi was not irritated by his words, on the contrary, he said coldly: "Wait here."

Lu Xizhi really wanted to jump up behind the door and applaud Wang Yuanzhi!It's so good, this arrogant and domineering thing can only be relieved by giving him two slaps.

"Hmph! You are really sharp-tongued. I heard that your father is also a foreman? Hehe, it is true that like father like son, mice are born to burrow into the ground. I will not recognize the records made based on your qualifications. "Even deeply sarcasm, the guards who followed also sneered haha.

Enough laughing, "Zhao Xuanwu, Dali Temple is now fully responsible for this serial murder case, and we will take away the case records and autopsy records." If there are discrepancies in Wang Yu's testimony, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhao Xuanwu took the order to leave, and Wang Yuanzhi also slowly walked back to the study to sort out the files, even staring at Wang Yuanzhi's back with deep and cold eyes.

In the study, Lu Xizhi was already full of indignation. When Wang Yuan entered the room, she hit her shoulder with a hammer.

Lu Xizhi lowered his voice: "Wang Yuanzhi, that person named Lian is so hateful, you just give up the information you have worked so hard to investigate? And what kind of arrogant attitude does he have!?"

Wang Yuanzhi didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't stop tidying up his hands.

"You!" Lu Xizhi pressed his hand on the file, not letting him continue.

Wang Yuanzhi took a deep breath and said depressingly: "Miss Lu, maybe you come from the same distant place as my master. You both have smart minds, advanced and systematic methods of handling cases, and magical tools to assist you. Even the Arabian Nights where everyone is equal, but…" His eyes were closed, and veins popped in his temples.

Lu Xizhi thought he was going to beat her up.

The man seemed to restrain his excitement, he took a deep breath, and slowly opened his eyes, the pupils were bloodshot from being tired for days.

"However, this is the Great Jin Kingdom, a feudal dynasty that was hundreds of years earlier than yours, maybe even thousands of years, and even my master, she...!" Wang Yuanzhi seemed to have tears in his eyes, "So now You and I alone cannot fight against them!"

Lu Xizhi was overwhelmed, she could feel the desperation emanating from this man, especially for his mysterious master, although Wang Yuanzhi mentioned it lightly twice, as if he didn't want to talk about it in depth.But at this moment, it must be the pain buried deep in his heart.

She suddenly realized that what he said was right, this place...is not her hometown.

Lu Xizhi slowly moved his hand away, like a stick in his throat: "I'm sorry, I was negligent."

Wang Yuanzhi put away all his emotions, quickly put away the autopsy records, and when he was about to go out, he put his hands on the door and casually said: "My memory is very good. As long as it is a corpse that I have handled, I will never forget it. If you want to continue Check it out, there may be someone who can help." Before Lu Xizhi could speak, he opened the door and walked out.

Leaving Lu Xizhi in the house feeling lost, it's so hard to just enter a yamen, can she still enter Dali Temple openly and aboveboard?
Outside the house, Zhao Xuanwu took the dossier from Wang Yuanzhi and handed it to Lian Shen together with the preparation in his hand.

A clear voice interrupted him: "Wait!"

Everyone in the courtyard looked at the source of the sound—the roof, yes, it was the roof.

The person who came was dressed in black clothes, his hair was tied up high, and a long sword was stuck in his back. He looked like he was only in his early teens, youthful and heroic.

He jumped into the courtyard neatly, took the thick stack of files from Zhao Xuanwu's hand, and finally shook Lian Shen, which made Lu Xizhi so gloating that he almost laughed out loud.

The accident happened so fast that before even Shen and several guards could react, they saw the files in their hands flying away.

"Bold! Who is the one who doesn't want to die!" It's a pity that before the last word "fate" was uttered, he was shocked in place. After seeing who was coming, he quickly changed into another face.

"It turned out to be the guard of the east, why didn't he go through the main entrance, those who didn't know thought they were thieves." Lian Shen pointed out something.

"Then don't bother me to worry about it. No one has ever seen such a handsome thief." The young man flipped through the file triumphantly.

Zhao Xuanwu led his subordinates to bow their heads silently, and stood aside, not participating in it.

"What is the meaning of Dongwei? I was ordered by the Minister of Dali Temple to take over the case. Could it be that Yuan Changgong has a good opinion on this case?"

"Heh, look at what you said, the emperor's birthday is next month, we are busy, but... the factory owner heard that three people died in a row, so naturally he couldn't sleep all night, and it is this critical moment, so anything that may affect the safety of the imperial city, Dongchang will definitely ask."

Guard Dong took a few steps closer, and cupped his hands to Zhao Xuanwu: "Catcher Zhao, the owner of the factory is here to invite you and Wang Yuzuo to come with me."

Zhao Xuanwu and Wang Yuanzhi looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"Please, both of you." Not allowing them to think too much, Guard Dong made an advance gesture.

The two had no choice, they saluted Lian Shen, and followed the young man out of the yard.

As soon as they left, Lian finally let out the deeply held breath, and spit on the ground, like a poisonous snake, staring fiercely at them and disappearing from sight.

Lu Xizhi: Why is Dongchang here?
