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

Wu Chengsi knew the specific answer to the question raised by Di Renjie.

On the day when the Youzhou case was concluded and Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui returned to the court to report their victory, he, as Li Cunxi's mentor, attended court for the first time in many months.

In the court, he happened to hear the eunuch reading out the achievements of everyone involved in the Youzhou case, including Hu Jinghui's terrifying and magnificent military record.

Thinking of that day, Wu Chengsi couldn't help but say:

"Of course I remember it. That night, Hu Jinghui rushed into the Wucheng Bingma Division and killed all the high-ranking officers of the Wucheng Bingma Division among the thousands of soldiers. Just like Wen Yang who went in and out seven times, he killed more than a thousand people from the Wucheng Bingma Division."

"Such a terrifying force, not to mention that Leopard Tao is invincible, even if we look at the entire army, we can still say that it is invincible."

It didn't take long after they entered the cemetery that an eerie feeling spread over everyone.

Li Yuanfang suddenly perked up and his nostrils twitched.

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan Fang? Did you smell something that shouldn't be here?"

Lu Dayou and Li Yuanfang walked together and asked in a low voice.

"Not really, I just feel this place is really weird. It's noon now, why is it so gloomy here?"

Li Yuanfang felt uncomfortable all over and looked at the graves in all directions.

Those seemingly scattered graves are topped with tombstones, on which are engraved the identity, status and name of the tomb owner during his lifetime.

But what identities and names could the dead buried in this shabby place have?

Apart from Xue Aocao, a headless man who died in vain, there are almost no other big names with names or surnames.

Under the guidance of the gravekeeper, everyone arrived at Xue Aocao's tomb without any effort.

Li Cunxi followed behind without saying a word. He had met Xue Aocao himself two nights ago, so he naturally knew that the Xue Aocao in the tomb was a fake.

"Dig out the coffin and pry it open. We want to perform an autopsy!"

Hu Jinghui spoke arrogantly to the gravekeepers.

Several gravekeepers looked at each other in bewilderment. Under pressure from Hu Jinghui's sharp eyes and the many important figures present, they had to take out their tools, dig up the mound on the coffin, and then clear away the soil covering the coffin, revealing the wooden coffin.

"It seems that the answer we want will soon appear in front of us... Open the coffin and perform an autopsy!"

The coroner who came with them took out the objects from the bag, stepped forward, and waited for everyone to open the coffin.

The gravekeepers used all their strength and finally pried open the lid of the coffin, revealing the body underneath. The body was not sewn together with needle and thread as was done in the past for mutilated corpses, but was just placed naturally inside.

Perhaps because the road leading up the mountain to escort the coffin was too steep, the head had rolled to the gap on the left side of the corpse.

A foul smell permeated the air. Li Cunxi endured the stench, squinted his eyes, and protected everyone in front of him.

The coroner also suppressed his nausea and got off the coffin. He carefully took out the head and wanted to vomit several times, but he held it back. He carefully examined it and confirmed it before saying:

"There's a human skin mask... there's a human skin mask on his face... Yue."

Li Cunxi tried to suppress his nausea and stepped forward and said, "Take out the head, wash the face with water, and take off the human skin mask at all costs to see who is underneath."

"Yue...I know...Ugh..."

"You can wet a towel with clean water and tie it around your face to cover your mouth and nose."

"Thank you, Mr. Fengyi... Ugh..."

Half an hour later, a face that no one recognized was shown to everyone.

The coroner was so disgusted that he almost vomited. After putting the head down, he hurried to find a place to get rid of the stench.

"It seems that we have a new clue. In the Xue Mansion massacre, the two masters of the Xue Mansion used substitutes to escape death..."

"Or, someone replaced the two male masters of the Xue Mansion, and let others die for them, and then imprisoned Xue Aocao and Xue Nanze in some unknown place."

Di Renjie looked at the head and put forward two most likely hypotheses so far.

"It seems that our target should be in Xue Mansion. Xue Aocao and Xue Nanze are not dead. If they left any clues, the clues can only be in Xue Mansion."

Wu Chengsi said, closed his eyes, and immediately turned back to look at Hu Jinghui:

"General Hu, please take a few military leaders to the Xue Mansion immediately and control the guards who are staying in the Xue Mansion. Do not let them move around freely or contact others. If anyone approaches the Xue Mansion, no matter who they are or whose orders they hold, they are not allowed to enter the Xue Mansion."

Hu Jinghui understood, responded, and left with Shen Tao and Xiao Bao.

Being careful, he still left Zhang Huan and Li Lang to lead the Qianniu Guards to defend the cemetery.

"Should we also rush back to Chang'an?" Xiao Qingfang asked.

"What do you think, Lord Di?" Wu Chengsi turned to Di Renjie.

"I guess the reason why King Wei asked Hu Jinghui to go to Xue Mansion first is to confuse the murderer hiding in the dark. If we go back now, won't it have no effect?" Di Renjie smiled lightly.

"What if there are clues in Xue's house?"

"With Hu Jinghui guarding the Xue Mansion, no matter who comes, no one can take away the clues."

"What the King of Wei said is absolutely true."

……

Changan.

A light rain fell, not a storm but just a light rain in this season, which is really rare.

In the drizzle, Hu Jinghui took Shen Tao, Xiao Bao, Qi Hu and Pan Yue back to Chang'an, all the way to Xue Mansion in Tianjie.

Several people followed secretly and finally arrived outside Xue's mansion.

Hu Jinghui asked Qi Hu and Pan Yue to guard the door instead of the yamen runners, while Shen Tao and Xiao Baoshou stayed in the yard. He asked the yamen runners to move a chair over, and Hu Jinghui sat outside the main hall gate. Behind him was the luxurious chair where the fake Xue Nanze's body was found that day.

Several people kept watching until dusk, but did not see Di Renjie, Wu Chengsi and others coming. In desperation, they had to let one of them keep watch here, and the rest went back to report.

Not long after, they arrived at the residence of Zhang Changzong, Zhang Liulang, in Chang'an City.

Because Zhang Yizhi was serving Wu Zetian, Zhang Changzong also returned home, enjoying the back massage by a boy lover and the leg rubbing by a concubine. Several maids brought fruits to his mouth, and the advisors below talked about what happened in the mansion when he was not there. Several dancers were dancing erotically in the center of the main hall, their dancing moves were dazzling and coquettish.

Everything was so harmonious and beautiful. This was a wonderful feeling that she could not feel in the palace. In the palace, she could only stay with a group of men and was called a male concubine by officials. Everyone showed respect to her on the surface, but secretly cursed her ancestors and said that she was born of a bitch.

"Ugh."

"What kind of life have I been leading? It's much more comfortable to be back home."
