Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Wu Chengsi said with a sharp gaze: "It seems that we have a new clue."

Di Renjie completely removed the human skin mask.

Under the human skin mask, there was a young man, about twenty years old, lying in the morgue.

Di Renjie didn't know why this person died instead of Xue Nanze, but one thing was certain: the person who intended to kill Xue Nanze definitely didn't know that Xue Nanze had been replaced by another person a long time ago.

"Xue Nanze is not dead. It's another person who died. But we don't even know who this person is. But this is indeed a good sign for us."

"Don't tell anyone about this news. Whoever asks about our case could be the murderer, and the murderer will always be eager to ask about the progress of the case."

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he looked at the remaining corpse covered with white cloth.

"Everyone, I think it's time to check if anyone else has a human skin mask on their face."

The coroners started to imitate Di Renjie's method and check whether there were human skin masks on the remaining corpses.

After half an hour, several busy and sweaty coroners returned to Xue Nanze's body. One of them said:

"My Lords, we have carefully checked and found no corpse with a human skin mask on its face."

Di Renjie glanced at Xue Nanze again and asked another question: "Where is the human skin mask that you found on the ground of Xue's mansion that day now?"

"My Lord, it is on the table over there. I will bring it to you."

"No need, let's go and take a look."

Following the instructions, Di Renjie led everyone to a platform and stood there. On the platform were dozens of human skin masks found on the ground of Xue's mansion.

Yesterday afternoon at the Prince of Wei's Mansion, Li Cunxi and Wu Chengsi told him that the doorman who greeted Li Cunxi on the day he visited the Xue Mansion was a fake, and the Xue Aocao who ran out to greet Li Cunxi was also a fake, because the doorman did not look like the deceased, and Xue Aocao himself was unaware of it.

Di Renjie looked through the human skin masks and indeed found a mask of Xue Aocao. On the day Li Cunxi returned to Beijing, someone pretended to be Xue Aocao to greet Li Cunxi and told Li Cunxi that it was Wang Zhiyuan who told him that Di Renjie might be killed.

Thinking about the news that Li Cunxi and Wu Chengsi had told him, and accepting the fact that it was Wu Chengsi's guards who saved his life that night, Di Renjie suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Here is a human skin mask that looks like Xue Aocao's. Xue Aocao's head was cut off and sold directly..."

"Is it possible that Xue Aocao was not dead from the beginning?"

"The buried head of Xue Aocao might also have a human skin mask on his face!"

Wu Chengsi beside him obviously also thought of this, and immediately turned his eyes to Chen Ya, who had been silent all this time, and asked:

"Where is Xue Aocao's body buried?"

Chen Ya was suddenly called out, and was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied:

"Outside Chang'an City, at the old grave."

If you have a new idea, you should naturally go and check it out immediately.

Without further ado, everyone, led by Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi, walked out of the Chang'an County Government Office, got on their carriages, and hurried out of the city.

Under the guidance of Chen Ya, who knew the way, everyone rushed to the east gate of Chang'an City. After showing their identity documents and passes at the east gate, they were released from Chang'an by the Youwei Guards who were temporarily acting as guards and headed all the way to the old tomb.

The old tomb is located about ten miles away from the east gate.

There was a large cemetery sandwiched between the mountains, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel on. The crowd had no choice but to abandon their horses and go up the mountain, leaving some of the Qianniu Guards to guard the horses and carriages.

At 2:15 p.m., everyone rushed to the cemetery, only to see a few idle gravekeepers cleaning outside the cemetery. Upon seeing everyone arriving, they knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Greetings, gentlemen."

"Is this the gravekeeper family?" Li Cunxi asked Hu Jinghui beside him with a puzzled look on his face.

"They are the ones who look after the cemetery. I heard that they have lived in this place for generations. I don't know if they belong to a family of gravekeepers." Hu Jinghui said lightly.

"If these people have been guarding here for generations, then they should belong to a family of gravekeepers."

"They are the only ones in their generation. They were all found when they were orphans. The oldest ones seemed to have been found during the reign of Emperor Taizong."

After explaining the origins of the gravekeepers, Hu Jinghui walked past Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi and came in front of the gravekeepers, holding his head high and looking very majestic.

"Wake up. Where is the grave of Xue Aocao, who was brought here yesterday and buried?"

"Report to the general, is that Lord Xue the one whose head was chopped off? His body was buried by us deep in the cemetery."

"Very good, take us there to find it."

Hu Jinghui turned around and looked at the eight military leaders, and saw that only four of them had followed him up the mountain: Zhang Huan, Li Lang, Shen Tao, and Xiao Bao.

"You guys, take the Qianniu Guards to defend the entire cemetery. Don't let any outsiders get close to the cemetery. Also, if you find any abnormal situation, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

The remaining several hundred Qianniu Guards quickly separated under the leadership of the four men and began to defend the entire cemetery.

Several grave keepers seemed to have never seen such a scene before, and they watched with trembling eyes as these Qianniu Guards rushed into the cemetery.

"Let's go, some grave keepers."

Hu Jinghui glanced at the gravekeepers and couldn't help but urge them.

The gravekeepers led the way in front, trembling and shrinking, their bodies shaking from time to time.

"The general is truly so majestic. Look how scared these grave keepers are."

Wu Chengsi burst into laughter behind him.

"No wonder during the military parade at Nanyuan, the Right Leopard Guard General called you 'the best among the cavalry and infantry, and unrivaled in all Leopard Guards'! You are truly a great general with great power and prestige. You are really amazing!"

Hu Jinghui said modestly: "What do you mean by being ranked first among the cavalry and infantry? It's just that the general praised me. At that time, I was just a small inspector of the Leopard Guards. I had a little strength, but I dare not say that I was invincible in the Leopard Guards."

"You are being modest. Remember six years ago during the military parade in Nanyuan, I followed behind His Majesty and saw with my own eyes that you defeated the generals of the Sixteen Guards. Who dares to claim to be better than you?"

Wu Chengsi walked and laughed, feeling really safe being protected by such a master.

With the strength of the eight guards of King Wei in his mansion, they are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot compared to this guy.

"I already had an impression of Jinghui's bravery and fighting skills when we were in Youzhou."

Di Renjie couldn't help but praise him.

"On the night of the bloody riot at the Wucheng Bingma Division, I ordered Jinghui and Yuanfang to lead the Qianniu Guards to quell the riot. Jinghui's horse was fast and he arrived at the Wucheng Bingma Division first. What was the result? Does the King of Wei still remember it?"
