Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

Di Renjie's eyes slowly fell on the fish tokens on Su Jin and Chu Muyun's waists, which symbolized their status as centurions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Ripples appeared in his heart.

How could two centurions condescend to come and convey things to the two county magistrates?

This situation broke the normal order.

According to common sense, this kind of thing only requires an ordinary Jinyiwei to rush over and report it, or just give a message from the higher-ups. Why is it necessary to be so serious?

Di Renjie was a meticulous person, and he immediately became alert, so he secretly kept a watchful eye in his heart.

At this moment, everyone's thoughts were deeply immersed in Zhang Xuanwei's previous hexagram of "far away in the sky, close at hand", and they couldn't come back to their senses.

Especially Wu Meiniang, her voice of doubt about the hexagram was still echoing in the air, and two captains of the Jinyiwei appeared here immediately afterwards.

Such a coincidence was like a poorly choreographed play, and Wu Meiniang's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

Su Jin looked at the group of people in front of him, all of whom were immersed in their own thoughts and had no reaction to his arrival.

For a moment, doubt flashed in his eyes.

He was just about to speak again to break the awkward atmosphere, but Wu Meiniang had already taken the lead in the conversation.

"I wonder what the two superiors have to say about your visit?"

Wu Meiniang slightly frowned her willow-leaf eyebrows and quickly searched her memory, but found nothing in the end. She was sure that she had never seen these two uninvited guests before.

Su Jin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a friendly smile. He bowed respectfully to Wu Meiniang and Di Renjie and said loudly, "My name is Su Jin, and the person next to me is Chu Muyun."

Chu Muyun also bowed to the two of them.

Di Renjie and Wu Meiniang hurriedly returned the greeting, saying in unison, "So it's Captain Su and Captain Chu who are here in person. How disrespectful!"

The two sides exchanged words and tested each other. After some pleasantries, Su Jin slowly got to the point.

"Are you two investigating Chang'an's disappearance case?"

His voice was low, but it was particularly clear and loud in everyone's ears.

As soon as they heard the three words "missing case", Di Renjie and Wu Meiniang's eyes met in the air, and they both saw complicated expressions in each other's eyes.

Di Renjie nodded slightly, sighed heavily, and said helplessly, "We are investigating a missing person case! Unfortunately, the clue we just got was broken, and now we have no clue at all."

"It's truly puzzling. Why would several well-appointed officials mysteriously disappear in Chang'an? Especially at such a sensitive time when His Majesty is personally leading the army."

As he spoke, he stared at Su Jin's face, trying to find a clue from his expression.

But to his disappointment, Su Jin's face was still as calm as a windless lake, without the slightest ripple.

"Don't worry, Magistrate Di. With so many people missing in Chang'an, we, the Jinyiwei, are also responsible."

Su Jin's expression became serious.

"Both commanders are away now, and the higher-ups are arguing fiercely over this matter. No clear instructions have been issued yet."

"However, I do happen to have some clues about this missing person case. I wonder if County Magistrate Di would be interested in hearing about it?"

As soon as Su Jin said this, everyone's eyes were turned to him. Only Zhang Xuanwei found a step and sat down leisurely, looking up at the ever-changing clouds in the sky. All the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him. He was just an outsider watching with cold eyes.

Di Renjie frowned slightly, with some doubt in his eyes.

"Captain Su, do you have any clues? Then why didn't you report it?"

Hearing Di Renjie's question, Su Jin couldn't help but laugh, but there was some other meaning hidden in his laughter.

"Of course I reported it a long time ago, but the order has not been issued yet."

"As you know, County Magistrate Di, time is of the essence when it comes to solving a case. The longer we delay, the more difficult it will become."

"I just happened to hear that the two county magistrates were extremely busy with this case, so I thought of coming here to tell them a little bit."

As Di Renjie listened to Su Jin's words, the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

This statement is full of loopholes. What is Su Jin's purpose in being so eager to tell them the clues?

In the city of Chang'an, they were just two insignificant county magistrates. Who would focus their attention on them so deliberately?

What kind of calculation is hidden behind this?

Di Renjie pondered over it, but still couldn't figure out the connection.

Despite his doubts, he still bowed according to etiquette and said in a deep voice, "Please tell me the clues, Captain Su. Thank you in advance."

Su Jin paused slightly, gathering his thoughts, and slowly said, "When the disappearance occurred, one of my brothers from the Imperial Guard happened to witness a group of merchants with rather strange behavior attempting to leave the city with a large amount of goods."

"We carefully inspected the goods and found that they were indeed all cloth, but..."

He paused deliberately, scanning the crowd. Seeing that everyone was listening intently, he continued, "But one of my brothers noticed that these merchants' hands were covered in thick calluses. Those are the unique marks left by those who have practiced martial arts for many years. So they are definitely not ordinary merchants."

"From this, I boldly infer that there might be a mezzanine beneath the cargo, and they used it to take the missing people out of the city."

"The customs documents they hold indicate their destination is Luoyang."

"This is my only clue. I don't know if it's right or not."
