Everyone looked at Liu Yijin pointing at the hole that was blasted on the ground, his expression slightly moved.
It's true that I didn't think that much just now. When everyone saw all this, they were thinking about how to laugh at Liu Yijin. Who would have thought that this guy could find so many problems just by walking around.
Liu Yong's face showed a cold mockery: "Liu Yijin, although the door of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is closed, we do not rule out that someone with superb martial arts can put gunpowder inside without anyone noticing, then ignite it and leave calmly."
Liu Yijin nodded: "What the Prime Minister said makes sense, and this possibility does exist."
"But this is not a difficult problem to solve."
Liu Yijin pointed at the ground and said: "Such a pit cannot be dug out without a few kilograms of gunpowder, right?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Yijin continued: "With such a large amount of gunpowder, if you want to drive it out, you need to buy a lot of things, and I think the control of these raw materials in the imperial capital should be very strict."
Wei Ming, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, the Supervision Department is responsible for the supply of some special materials, and the Supervision Department will register the shopkeepers in these places. As long as we investigate carefully, we will definitely be able to find out. the truth."
Liu Yijin nodded: "Although this method is a bit clumsy, it is also the most practical. However, it will take a certain amount of time to operate."
"But I don't think it's necessary."
Liu Yijin pointed not far away, "Before I left, I had arranged to be responsible for all the affairs of the Criminal Department, and this includes necessary surveillance."
Several soldiers in black came over.
"From the time I arranged for you to now, has any suspicious person approached here?"
Several men in black took out the registered book, and Liu Yijin made it public: "Have you seen that all the people, characteristics, smiles, clothes, and even the details of each person are recorded in it? On top of this.”
"However, there are only a few people passing by here, and no one has stopped at the entrance of the Prison Department, so it is certain that this person is still in the Prison Department."
Liu Yijin turned around and looked at the dozen or so people from the Criminal Department: "In order to better disguise himself, he will definitely hide among you carefully, and even look inconspicuous and pitiful."
"But this person would never have time to clean up his own traces. There must be black powder in his hands. He would even half-kneel on the ground to put the gunpowder, so there would be some dirt on his knees."
As Liu Yijin spoke, his eyes wandered over the officials of the Ministry of Justice, but the result disappointed him.
These people were all in a state of utter disarray and were somewhat covered in dust.
Liu Yong on the side sneered, "Liu Yijin, do you really think that the other party is a fool? Who would wait for you to check the black powder on their fingers openly?"
Jin Bing, the Minister of Personnel, also had a face full of sarcasm: "That's right. If it were me, I would have wiped out all traces. Maybe I would even lose the fire seals on my body."
Huozhezi?
Liu Yijin's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked quickly towards the crowd.
There was no such thing as cigarettes in the Daqian Dynasty, and no official would carry a fire certificate in his arms when he went to work.
If something like a fire seal is found on someone's body, that person will most likely be a suspect, and as long as the fire seal is used, the fire will remain for a short period of time.
Liu Yijin waved his hand, and the black-armored iron guards directly surrounded the officials from the Ministry of Justice.
"Mr. Liu, what do you mean?" Several officials from the Criminal Department looked gloomy.
Liu Yijin smiled and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. This is a major case involving Maitreya Buddhism. Please accept the body search obediently."
A group of officials from the Ministry of Justice looked at the black-armored iron guards who were eyeing them, and began to take things out of their bodies with gloomy expressions. Liu Yijin looked over one by one and found nothing unusual.
At this time, several iron guards escorted a boy over and said, "Sir, this man was hiding in the storage room of the Criminal Department and we found him."
Liu Yijin saw that the other party's expression was calm and showed no signs of panic, and he suddenly became vigilant: "Have they been searched?"
An iron guard took out two Huozhezi: "These are the things that were searched from his body. The Huozhezi obviously showed signs of use, and this man has the mark of a Buddha statue on his chest."
The two iron guards directly opened the boy's clothes, and they saw obvious traces of being burned with a soldering iron on his chest.
Liu Yijin looked at the boy in front of him: "What else do you have to say?"
The boy's face was as calm as water: "There is nothing to say. I am a member of Maitreya Buddhism, and I want to blow up the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
"We will not only blow up your punishment department, but also your other places. Our Maitreya Buddhism will surely shine on the earth and dominate the world!"
Liu Yong's face was gloomy. As a dignified prime minister, he had an unshirkable responsibility for such a big terrorist incident in the capital: "Buddhist Maitreya is crazy. Come and take him to be tortured. I don't believe him if he doesn't tell you!"
"Wait a minute!" Liu Yijin, who had been observing the boy, stopped him and said, "Master Prime Minister, don't you think this matter is a bit fishy?"
"There is something fishy about this. The facts are clear. This guy also confessed that he was responsible for the bombing of the Ministry of Justice."
Liu Yijin shook his head: "This matter is not that simple. He could have put explosives inside to cause an explosion, and maybe kill a few people. But he just blew it up on the courtyard wall. Don't you think it's strange?"
"What's so strange about this?" Jin Bingbing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said with a smile: "Maybe there was an emergency and he didn't have time to think about it, or maybe he just wanted to blow up the courtyard wall."
Liu Yijin smiled and said: "Sir, if it were you, would you just blow up the courtyard wall?"
Jin Bingbing snorted and said nothing.
Liu Yijin looked at the boy: "Who gave you the gunpowder bag, and who instructed you? Also, who are your accomplices!"
"I have no accomplices. I made the gunpowder bag myself. No one instructed me. I just wanted to blow it up to test its power. Believe it or not."
"I didn't notice that he was a tough guy." Liu Yijin smiled coldly: "Take him back to the Supervision Department's prison, and investigate all his social connections at the same time. I want to investigate everyone around him!"
After taking the boy into custody, Liu Yijin still did not let down his guard. He did not believe that a boy could develop the formula for black powder. He had an intuition that among the officials of the Ministry of Punishment present, there must be people from Maitreya Buddhism.
But, who is this person?
Liu Yong glanced at Liu Yijin: "The Prime Minister will keep an eye on the death of Xikun, the Minister of Punishment. I hope you can give a more reasonable explanation."
"I don't need to worry about it, Prime Minister. I will naturally meet with Your Majesty to explain the situation."
"That's good!" Liu Yong glanced at Liu Yijin indifferently, turned and left.
