And apart from killer organizations, the only ones who can achieve this level of means are those big gangs.
Moreover, he also carefully examined the wounds on those people, and it seemed that the wounds were caused by swords. Ordinary people, even bandits, could not have swords.
Apart from the scholar-bureaucrats, the only people who can wield swords are the killer gangs.
Given that the big gangs near the capital had been wiped out almost before King Jin, the possibility of the big gangs taking action was almost zero.
And the only ones left are those secret organizations, or killer organizations.
If this is the case, it will be much more troublesome for you to investigate.
After all, these organizations have always acted secretly, and there is no certainty. They are hiding underground, who knows what kind of organization they are.
But right now, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but be thankful for one thing. At least he still has a bright line.
And that bright line was the car's seal. If he followed the car's seal, he would definitely know where they got off.
It would be even better if they returned to the capital.
After all, you have to register before entering the capital. They might be able to follow this route directly to investigate.
Because he suspected that this murder and silence case might be related to the whereabouts of Zhu Izhi or some other news, Lu Zhizhang decided to take over the case personally.
He first said to the Ziyi arrester, "You continue to search for the whereabouts of the girl named Zijuan. Whether it is this official road or the villages in the lower reaches of the Wei River, you must remember to search for me carefully." She is the most critical person in this case, we want to see her alive, and we want to see her body dead."
After Lu Zhizhang's analysis just now, the Ziyi catcher is now convinced of Lu Zhizhang.
So even though Lu Zhizhang was not his immediate boss, he immediately said yes.
Seeing that Ziyi Catcher agreed to his request, Lu Zhizhang felt a lot more relieved. Then he walked to the little fat girl and said to the unhappy little fat girl sitting alone in the corner, "Come back to the capital with me." ?」
The little fat girl was also very sad. She originally wanted to follow Zijuan back to Lander County.
But now that Zijuan has disappeared and the others are dead, how can she still have the dignity to go to Rand County.
So she could only nodded to Lu Zhizhang.
However, before agreeing to Lu Zhizhang, she still made a request to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, I am too embarrassed to go to Rand County. Can you tell the magistrate of Rand County for me that his sister is missing?"
Lu Zhizhang naturally nodded after hearing this.
When the little chubby girl saw that Lu Zhizhang agreed to her request, she followed Lu Zhizhang.
After Lu Zhizhang got on the carriage, he was not in a hurry to return to Beijing. In other words, his purpose was just to catch the murderer.
As for bringing this little chubby girl with him, he also wanted to make the little chubby girl identify something as soon as he caught the murderer.
In addition, he also felt that this little chubby girl was the only survivor. Although she seemed to know nothing, Lu Zhizhang was also afraid that they would come back with a counterattack, so in order to protect this last survivor, he still felt that it was best for him Bring it with you.
After getting on the carriage, he began to order the driver to continue moving forward along the road with deep car marks until the end.
The coachman had already understood what Lu Zhizhang meant, so naturally he slowly drove the horses forward according to the car's seal.
Their journey was quite smooth, and the murderer seemed not to have thought about hiding it, or in other words, he was not aware of the traces here at all.
The coachman followed the mark and actually arrived directly at the west gate of the capital.
The carriage print also disappeared at the city gate.
Looking at the muddy outer streets, Lu Zhizhang was very sure that the murderer had probably entered the capital.
So when he arrived at the city gate, Lu Zhizhang jumped off the carriage.
The soldiers guarding the west gate saw that he was wearing a dark crimson official uniform and knew that he was a high official, so they did not dare to stop him at the moment.
Fortunately, Lu Zhizhang had no intention of entering immediately.
He just stood in front of the two soldiers, and then he took out his official seal and glanced at them: "I am from Dali Temple."
The two soldiers immediately saluted Lu Zhizhang.
However, Lu Zhizhang just said to them, "No need to salute. I am here to investigate a case. I hope you can cooperate with me."
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the two soldiers looked at each other.
However, one of them was smart and immediately responded, "It's all easy to talk about. If you need any cooperation, just tell our boss. He is inside the city gate. We two brothers still have to guard the city gate."
As he spoke, a small queue formed in the chariot and horse passage.
The carriage behind them even stuck their heads out and urged, "Those in front, are you going to leave or not?"
The soldier guarding the city immediately said to the group of people, "Why are you urging me? Don't you see that the master is handling the case?"
After reprimanding the group of people, the soldier looked at Lu Zhizhang cautiously and said, "Sir, do you want to go into the city first?"
Lu Zhizhang also realized at that moment that he was blocking their way.
So at the moment, he just nodded silently, "What you said makes sense."
Then he signaled his carriage to pass through the west gate of the city first.
After registering and paying the fee to enter the city, Lu Zhizhang stopped the carriage in an area that did not occupy the road.
The young general guarding the city on the other side had already heard about Lu Zhizhang's arrival, so the young general immediately stood up to greet Lu Zhizhang, "Sir, I am on duty at the west city gate. If you have anything to say, please tell me. If you have anything to ask, Just ask the villain directly."
Lu Zhizhang only asked, "About how many carriages passed through the city gate this morning?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, the young general just whispered, "I don't know yet. I still have to go through the details. Sir, please wait a moment."
After saying this, the young general went to look through the notebook.
However, Lu Zhizhang held his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll do it."
After he finished speaking, he simply ordered someone to copy the names and registration information of the forty people who entered the city this morning.
After doing this, Lu Zhizhang sent people to Wuhou Pu in each city at the west city gate. He only asked them to send the forty people on the list to Dali Temple.
Afterwards, Lu Zhizhang waited for the acceptance results.
However, it is obvious that not everyone will definitely cooperate with Dali Temple in handling the case.
It was clear that Lu Zhizhang's people had already notified the Wuhoupu in Fangshi where the group of people on the list were located, but he only waited until noon and did not see the people from each Wuhoupu deliver the people they wanted.
"Sir, would you like me to go down and urge you?" After one of Lu Zhizhang's confidants found out about this, he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask Lu Zhizhang.
However, what the junior official said was overheard by Zhao Shuhai, who had just come to Dali Temple to report. At that moment, Zhao Shuhai couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Master Lu, I wonder if there is any new progress in the Yunzhou Prefecture case? I heard that you went to the suburbs of Beijing early this morning. It seems that the investigation was still a robbery. What about the case? Your Excellency has already finished investigating the case of Yunzhou Prefect. Are there no more cases to investigate? Otherwise, why are the cases in the capital not handled by you, but the cases in the suburbs of Beijing were handled first."
Hearing Zhao Shuhai's sarcasm, Lu Zhizhang didn't pay much attention to him.
He and Zhao Shuhai were both young ministers of Dali Temple, although he was recommended to this position by his mentor Gao Yizhong. But his mentor Gao Yizhong was not a nepotistic old fox in officialdom.
Although he was Gao Yizhong's student, Gao Yizhong would not recommend him if he had no ability. So he is actually quite a doer.
That's not the case with Zhao Shuhai. He is a descendant of the royal family and the eldest son of the old prince's family.
It can be said that these old princes have never been well-educated, so they themselves are the masters of life and debauchery. As Zhao Shuhai is a crooked lower beam, he is also crooked.
So although he is also a human being
His wife was secretly assigned the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but he never cherished this position.
This position seems to have been vacant for him since he took office, and Lu Zhizhang has always done two jobs by himself.
This guy is always late every time he comes here. Many times, he even just punches in and leaves.
No one in Dali Temple can do anything to him. The ministers of Dali Temple could only let themselves take more care of it.
If this kid just doesn't do anything, that's all.
It just so happens that he still has official endorsement, and he is also very addicted to officialdom.
Nowadays, the Minister of Dali Temple is getting older and older. He has repeatedly petitioned the Holy Spirit to allow him to retire and return to his hometown on the grounds that he is old and unwell.
Although the Holy Father rejected his request many times, there are still rumors from the outside world that if the Dali Temple Minister makes another appeal this time, the Holy Lord may grant his request this time. And let him return to his hometown at the end of this year.
And as long as the Minister of Dali Temple returns to his hometown, the position of Minister of Dali Temple will be vacant.
I still heard someone say that His Majesty intends to choose one of the two Dali Temple young ministers for promotion.
Lu Zhizhang naturally yearned for this position, but Zhao Shuhai, who did nothing, was also eager for the position of Minister of Dali Temple.
Therefore, his initial contempt for Lu Zhizhang turned into hostility.
He even tried to seize the power to handle the case from Lu Zhizhang in the case of Yunzhou Prefect.
It's just that Lu Zhizhang was strongly recommended by Gao Yizhong, and His Majesty the Emperor also knew how much Zhao Shuhai weighed, so Zhao Shuhai did not overtake Lu Zhizhang in this important case.
Because of this, he targeted Lu Zhizhang at every turn.
Seeing that Lu Zhizhang ignored him, Zhao Shuhai felt even more unhappy. He raised his voice and called out, "Master Lu!"
Seeing that Lu Zhizhang remained silent, he raised his voice and said, "Master Lu!"
His shout was loud enough, and everyone just looked sideways and turned around.
Lu Zhizhang wanted to show off, so he could only look at Zhao Shuhai as if nothing had happened and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Shuhai's mood became even worse when he saw Lu Zhizhang's nonchalant face.
