Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team
Chapter 209 One step too late
He Yun was so angry that he jumped up and down, pointing at the headless corpse and the heads rolling on the ground, with veins throbbing on his forehead.
"Are you freaking crazy, Mr. Zhou? What should we do next if you kill someone?"
The sturdy man had already put away his knife. Seeing He Yun complaining about him, he did not indulge He Yun. He tilted his neck and rolled his eyes at He Yun, saying coldly:
"As you said, Li Cunxi has only been around for half a year, and he has already been promoted to the rank of Sixth Rank Lower Councillor for solving a case, so his case-solving skills must be good. He found Xiao Qingfang, the Grand Chamberlain of your Inner Guards, and he will surely be able to find the commonalities between the two dead."
"Let me tell you, He Dabo, it will only take a day or two for Li Cunxi to find you. When he opens Jiang Xiaolang's grave again and finds there is no body inside, he will definitely find Gao Rujin, the person in charge."
"Gao Rujin is a coward and a shrinking wretch. If Li Cunxi threatens him, he will confess to us. Rather than being betrayed by him later, we might as well kill him now."
After the man surnamed Zhou said this, he hurried to the back hall.
Soon, the brothers he brought with him swarmed out and ran around in the Gao family compound, killing anyone they saw.
"All right."
Hearing the screams outside, the man surnamed Zhou revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
"Since Gao Rujin is dead, we can't keep his servants here. If they reveal our whereabouts, wouldn't that cost us our lives?"
"Even though Gao Rujin is as treacherous as a devil, he still drank our foot washing water, right?"
The man surnamed Zhou threw his head back and laughed, which made He Yun on the opposite side feel a chill.
Although both of them have killed many people on their hands, the man surnamed Zhou is obviously much stronger than He Yun, who is a rough and tumble person. At least this man is less humane than He Yun, and He Yun still feels afraid.
He Yun recovered and couldn't help asking the man for advice: "According to your idea, what should we do next?"
"It's simple. We hide first, and then send people to Luoyang to contact the princess to discuss the robbery and killing of Li Cunxi and others. When all our forces are gathered, it will be time to take Li Cunxi's life!" The man surnamed Zhou made a plan and laughed.
"That's the only way. I think Li Cunxi has already known that there must be something wrong with me here, and he's already looking for me. I just don't know if Wang Zhiyuan can handle it."
"Don't worry, His Majesty is in a good position to use Wang Zhiyuan. It's you and I who need to think about how to hide. I'm afraid that Li Cunxi and his gang will come to find Gao Rujin."
In less than half an hour, Li Cunxi, Wu Yanhao, Xiao Qingfang, Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang, Zeng Tai and others finally arrived at Gao Rujin's house.
As soon as they got closer, they smelled a strong smell of blood.
Without time to think about it, Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang both climbed into Gao's mansion. The corpses lying everywhere in their sight shocked them.
"The Gao family was actually massacred!" Li Yuanfang said in surprise.
"It seems that our opponents are faster than we thought." Hu Jinghui was also surprised.
The two men came to the gate and opened it together.
Before the people outside the door could go in, they had already seen more than a dozen bodies lying in the yard.
A picture of a bleeding eagle was painted with blood in the middle of the yard.
Although the scene was bloody, it was not as disgusting as the human head and left arm in the empty tree outside General Xilin’s Temple that day.
"This was an interesting fight. We were not as fast as our opponent. However, General Xiao, I think we can draw a conclusion."
Li Cunxi walked inside, past the corpses. In front of the open door of the main hall, there was a severed head. That head belonged to Gao Rujin. It was also the first time that Li Cunxi saw Gao Rujin.
After just their first meeting, the two were already separated forever.
"This is..." Xiao Qingfang frowned.
"This is Gao Rujin." Zeng Tai said tremblingly.
"No, he is not Gao Rujin, and there is no such person as Gao Rujin in this world!" Li Cunxi said firmly.
"Then who is he?" Li Yuanfang asked in surprise.
"Jiang Xiaolang!" Li Cunxi said word by word, "Before the tenth year of Zhenguan, there was no Gao Rujin in the world, only Jiang Xiaolang. After the tenth year of Zhenguan, there was no Jiang Xiaolang in the world, only Gao Rujin. Because of a secret, he left Youwei and came to Yongchang County, and built Jiangjiazhuang with his old subordinates."
"How did you guess that?" Hu Jinghui also became puzzled.
"He was responsible for the fire that burned Jiangjiazhuang and the bloodbath at Jiangjiazhuang. If he was responsible for both, how could he not know that there was no body in Jiang Xiaolang's grave?"
"hiss……"
"If I'm not mistaken, he killed all the waves of people sent by the imperial court. In order to completely disappear from this world, he buried Jiangjiazhuang under the pretext of a haunted ghost, and then he will forever exist under the name of Gao Rujin."
"Why did he do this? They are his relatives, aren't they?"
"With his death, this will probably be an eternal mystery. Our current goal is to connect the clues together."
Xiao Qingfang on the side was silent for a long time. After she had a general understanding of the whole case, she kicked Gao Rujin's head away and walked into the main hall.
There is only one corpse in here, and it is headless. It is most likely Gao Rujin's body.
There were three cups of cold tea on the table, proving that there were other people in the room before Gao Rujin died.
After walking around the main hall, Xiao Qingfang looked back at everyone and said calmly, "I think I can guess the process."
"First of all, the evil spirits that haunted the country decades ago might be the same as the evil spirits that haunt the country today."
"Secondly, if Gao Rujin was responsible for the destruction of Jiangjiazhuang decades ago, then the mastermind behind the current incident must have found Gao Rujin and killed him because they were afraid that Gao Rujin would leak the secret or give them away. So the murderer is likely to be using a ghost as an excuse."
"Secondly, even though this case is full of doubts, the vast majority of the people who died can be determined to be from the Inner Guards. Two of them were even cabinet leaders who participated in the secret operation. However, Envoy He Yun and Imperial Preceptor Wang Zhiyuan, who were also involved in this incident, were fine... This shows that this is a conspiracy against Your Majesty, and it may be related to these two people."
"Finally, we parted ways with He Yun, who knew the truth of the case, in Luoyang. In the time it took to dig a grave, the Gao family was wiped out..."
Xiao Qingfang let out a breath. She had come to the end of her analysis and there was almost no need to say the last part.
That’s right, the person most likely to be the murderer has appeared.
Flying Dragon Envoy He Yun, National Master Wang Zhiyuan!
"General Xiao's wisdom is truly frightening. He actually figured out the identity of the murderer." Li Cunxi couldn't help but applaud. "But I still want to remind you that there is no evidence."
Xiao Qingfang said coldly: "The Inner Guards kill people, so they don't need evidence."
