The next day, Lin Haoming and Jia Kai met. The two of them did not let anyone else be present, and they did not even call Zhuang Liang over.
No one knew what the two people discussed, but after Jia Kai left, everything seemed to have returned to calm.
Lin Haoming was still doing his own thing. As the operations of the house became more and more perfect, Lin Haoming entered a state of leisure again.
But under such circumstances, Liu Kailai came to report early that morning that the city lord Gong Xuanyu actually wanted to summon him, and it seemed that the matter was very urgent.
Lin Haoming felt a little confused about this. After all, although he worked in Dishang City, he was not an official of Dishang City. However, Lin Haoming went immediately anyway.
This is only the second time for Lin Haoming of the City Lord's Mansion. Last time he went directly to the study room of Gong Xuanyu in the houyamen, but this time he was in Gong Xuanyu's study room.
When Lin Haoming arrived here, he found that not only Gong Xuanyu was in the room, but also Qiu San, Gao Lan, and the principal of the Sixth House, who had hosted a reception banquet for him before, were all absent. In addition to this, there was also a The tall and burly man looked like he was in the military.
"Lin Xun is here, let me introduce him. This is the former general of Dishan City, Hou Li, General Hou!" Gong Lihai saw Lin Haoming arriving and introduced him directly.
"General Hou, I have admired you for a long time!" When Lin Haoming ascended, the former general of Dishang City was Hou Li. He was also the leader of the four generals guarding Dishang City. In every city, the former generals among the four generals were basically the leaders of the army. , the remaining three are just for containment. Of course, being a palace lord or city lord also has a certain containment effect, but the army and local officials generally have very little communication. Now that Hou Li appears here, it is obvious that Dishan City must have encountered something major.
"Hou has already heard of Lin Xunjian's name!" Hou Liye greeted politely.
"Sit down!" Gong Lihai gestured to everyone to sit down.
The room isn't big, but it's okay for just these people.
Looking at the people sitting down, Lin Haoming also found that many people present seemed to be confused about coming here, especially many people were looking at Hou Li.
In the midst of everyone's doubtful gazes, Gong Lihai said in a deep voice: "All of you colleagues must be wondering why the city lord called you here in such a hurry?"
"Sir, is there something big happening in the city, or is there someone coming?" Shen Yuan, the head of the house, asked with a smile.
"It is true that something big happened. Everyone must have heard about the disappearance of a pregnant woman in Dishan City, right?" Gong Lihai asked.
Hearing this, Lin Haoming couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and looked at Jia Kai.
Not only Lin Haoming was staring at Jia Kai at this time, but others were also looking at him. After all, he was in charge of the execution room and the handling of the case was under his management.
"Master Jia, tell me!" Gong Lihai said.
After being named by Gong Lihai, Jia Kai also stood up and bowed his hands to everyone, and then said: "The disappearance of pregnant women was discovered many years ago, but when it was discovered, it had already happened for thousands of years. According to me At that time, I speculated that someone might be practicing some kind of magic skill, which required a large number of pregnant women. I also investigated in many ways, but unfortunately there was no result. So I always suspected that this person was probably a senior official of our Dishan City, who could use this method. All kinds of relationships and rights cover up what they do.”
"Master Jia doesn't mean that this person is among us, right?" Gao Lan interrupted him at this time and asked.
As he asked, everyone looked at each other, with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.
"Don't worry, everyone, there is no such person among the people present!" Gong Lihai said at this moment.
After hearing this, many people relaxed a little, but soon showed doubtful looks.
"Master Jia, continue!" Gong Lihai followed.
Jia Kai bowed his hands to the crowd again and said: "This matter has been bothering me for many years. Even in recent years, some wealthy businessmen and even pregnant women from the family members of officials have begun to disappear. For a time, I was helpless. But at this time Lin Xunjian arrived, and Lin Xunjian was investigating the disappearance of Li Xunjian, the previous Li Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he found clues to the case of the pregnant woman. He discovered that the disappearance of the pregnant woman was closely related to Qian Li, and who was behind Qian Li? I think all the adults should also understand."
"Master Jia, what you mean is that Jiang Tongxuan is the culprit of the pregnant woman case?" Hou Li asked with some confusion at this time. Although he did not have the highest status present, he still played an important role.
"Exactly, when Li Xunjian investigated the murder case of Feng Xingdao's family, he contacted Qian Li and found clues about the case of the pregnant woman. Because of this, when he was about to expose Jiang Xingqian, he was silenced by Jiang Xingqian. Okay, so there is news that Mr. Li is missing." Jia Kaidao.
"Lin Xunjian, tell me!" Gong Lihai took the initiative to mention Lin Haoming at this time.
Lin Haoming also stood up and cupped his hands towards everyone and said: "I was originally just investigating the case of Mr. Li's disappearance. After all, I took up the post of patrol officer and must always be responsible for taking office. During the investigation, I quickly discovered that the case of Mr. Li was the key to the original case. Qian Li was found in a bookcase in the black market, so he investigated Feng Xingdao. At this time, thanks to Gao Tongzhi, he told me some news. One of Mr. Li's staff also disappeared after Mr. Li disappeared. For this reason, I specially sent people to search for it, and finally found it. I found that person and learned from him that it was indeed Mr. Li who suspected that Jiang Xingqian did this. A few days ago, I specially told Mr. Jia this news. I think Mr. Jia also made a breakthrough discovery because of this. ?”
"Yes, according to the information Master Lin gave me, I have been keeping an eye on Jiang Xingqian these days and found a lot of clues. This is the case after I compiled the clues these past few days. You adults can take a look!" Jia Kai said , took out a jade slip from his arms.
"I, the city lord, have already seen the facts of this case. Sirs, you may wish to circulate it!" Gong Lihai also followed.
The jade slip was then passed around in front of everyone, first Zuo Tongzhi Qiu San, and then Hou Li. After Hou Li read it, he handed it to Gao Lan, and then exclaimed: "Just the discovery of missing pregnant women, these years add up to Over ten thousand, if Jiang Xingqian did it all, he really deserves to die!"
When Lin Haoming got the jade slip, it was already the last one. After all, he had the lowest official position. After reading it, Lin Haoming had to sigh that there were so many people involved in this case. This was just the discovery. Obviously there were more. Many people have not discovered that even if you practice this evil skill, you need one pregnant woman every month. After so many years, I am afraid that more than 30,000 pregnant women have died tragically because of this. How unconscionable would it be to practice such an evil skill? .
