Zu An asked in a deep voice: "Who are the people involved in this operation? Catch them all!"
His first reaction was that there was a spy among the embroidered clothes messengers, otherwise how could Hua Bao have escaped.
But Brother Xinrui's name is really full of flaws, doesn't it just mean idiot, his parents are really foresighted.
The two embroidered messengers who reported back at this time said: "The leader of the team this time is Mr. Xiao. He has immediately controlled all the people involved in the case in Gaoling County Prison."
The two talking bronze messengers, one named Dai Laoqi and the other Chen Laoba, have been following Zu An on the case.
At first, Zu An thought their names were nicknames or something like that, but he never thought they were real names. He thought what kind of heartless parent would give their children such names.
Because their names were so similar, they were naturally assigned to be partners.
What's more coincidental is not just their names. Although both of them are young, their hair volume is a bit worrying. Dai Laoqi's hairline is a bit high on his forehead, forming an M-shaped bald head. Chen Laoba is just the opposite, with a typical baldness in the center of his hair. mediterranean hairstyle.
When Zu An saw them for the first time, he thought he was meeting his programmer brothers from his previous life.
As for the Xiao Jianren they call, he is a silver-medal embroidered messenger. When he was investigating the Xinrui case, he came up with a lot of ideas. He was obviously a quick-thinking guy and left a deep impression on Zu An.
Except for the mysterious one with the gold medal, the names of the others are not big secrets, at least they are known within the embroidered clothing messenger.
"Xiao Jianren..." Zu An fell into deep thought. At first, Xinrui's body could not be found in the palace, and Xuanwumen could not find any records of her entering and leaving the palace. It was Xiao Jianren who suggested that Xinrui might have been dismembered and taken out of the palace. This led them to start checking the entry and exit records of other palace gates. Could it be that he started misleading me about the case from then on?
It was useless to think about it at this time, so he had to go to the scene. Zu An asked Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba to call some embroidery messengers, and then quickly rushed to Gaoling County.
Gaoling County is not far from the capital. In fact, it is a satellite city of the capital, or even a suburb. A group of people quickly arrived at the Gaoling County Government Office.
The magistrate of Gaoling County came out to greet him cautiously. He was afraid of being implicated if such a case occurred in his territory. All civil and military officials were extremely afraid of the evil reputation of the embroidered messenger.
Zu An dealt with it casually, and then went directly to the county jail. Xiao Jianren and others were detained in different rooms, so there was no possibility of collusion in confession.
"Who arranged this?" Zu An was a little surprised.
Dai Laoqi replied: "It was arranged by Mr. Xiao. When the arrest failed, he immediately took control of all the embroidered messengers in the operation, as well as the casino owner and other related personnel at the time."
Zu An nodded secretly, this Xiao Jianren is quite powerful.
Then he quickly arranged for people to interrogate those who had acted in the first place. The embroidered clothes messengers were all professionals in this area. After checking for more than an hour, they found nothing suspicious.
Zu An personally interrogated Xiao Jianren and gained nothing. Unless these people were all linked together to commit crimes, it would be impossible not to find out.
But it is unimaginable among the Embroidered Clothes Messengers to have so many people working together.
The family background of each embroidered cloth messenger has been strictly scrutinized. Occasionally, one or two may rebel, but with so many people rebelling together, it is absolutely impossible.
"There are so many of you arresting an ordinary person, but you let him escape? I need an explanation." Zu An looked at the information and found out that Hua Bao was not even a practitioner, not to mention the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, even if he was pursued by an ordinary police officer, Don't let it go.
Xiao Jianren asked in a deep voice: "Master Eleven, I have been thinking about the whole thing. There were too many coincidences in the whole process of Hua Bao's escape. After thinking about it, there are only two possibilities. One is that one of our colleagues in the operation was raped. Ghost; or there is something wrong with that casino, I suspect they are cooperating with Hua Bao to escape, but unfortunately there is no evidence, so we can only arrest the person first."
Zu An's face changed. During this period, the people he had come into contact with were either emperors or princes, and at the worst, they were only dignitaries. Those in the gambling house were subconsciously ignored by him as passers-by.
He hurriedly ordered Chen Laoba beside him: "Go find the owner of the casino."
Before Chen Laoba left, an embroidered messenger came in a panic and reported: "It's not good, the casino owner Ning Hao is dead!"
"What?" Zu An stood up suddenly and hurried to Ning Hao's room. Xiao Jianren and the others also followed. After a close inspection, their suspicions had basically been eliminated.
A group of people soon saw the body of the casino owner. In the cell, Ning Hao was sitting in the corner, with his back against the wall, with a look of horror on his face, and his whole body had long since died.
"Has anyone seen him?" Zu An looked sharply at the Gaoling County Magistrate.
"No... no one. After they were imprisoned, I was worried that something would happen, so I stayed in the cell waiting for you to come over. No one was allowed to approach them." The Gaoling County Magistrate took out a handkerchief and kept wiping his forehead. I was in a cold sweat. At first, Hua Bao ran away in the casino. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was not really a big problem. But now that the criminal was silenced in his county government office, the trouble was really big.
It's a trivial matter to lose the black gauze hat, but if it affects my family and sends them to the army, it will be all over.
Zu An squatted down next to the corpse and inspected it. He frowned slightly, then waved his hand and asked his men to go up and examine the corpse. There were experts in this field among the embroidered cloth messengers.
The results were quickly obtained: "There were no wounds or poisoning. It seemed that he died of great shock."
Zu An frowned. Such a casino owner had more or less a mafia background and was frighteningly courageous. How could he be easily scared to death?
And according to the intelligence, this Ning Hao is also a master close to the sixth level. After all, he has to run such a lucrative job in a territory like the capital. Without any strength, he can't control the situation.
Zu An looked at Xiao Jianren aside: "Do you know if there is any way in the world that can kill people silently in this prison?"
Xiao Jianren is a well-known know-it-all in Xiulou. His cultivation level is not outstanding, but he can get the silver medal position because he has read enough books. He has seen more or less the database of Xiulou. .
Xiao Jianren replied: "Sir, there are three situations. One is that the great master kills people through the air with his spiritual thoughts, and the other is some witchcraft and Gu techniques of the demon clan in the borderlands. It is said that there is a nail-head seven-arrow book over there, which can pass through grass. People match the target's birth date and personal belongings to worship him alive; the third type is some races that practice special abilities, such as the dragon clan's spiritual speaking ability, they should be able to kill him silently. It's all my fault. Arrange the person in an ordinary county jail, if it is in a cell in the Xiu Tower, there is a special rune array there that can isolate most of this power."
Feeling his annoyance, Zu An comforted him: "You have handled it very well. No one expected this kind of thing to happen. I can't blame you."
He quickly analyzed, there are only a few great masters in the world, how could they attack a casino owner? He has seen the Dragon Clan's speech spirits, which are similar to his "Key Lai" ability. It is indeed possible to do it; and although the main body of the Monster Clan is far away in the wilderness, many monsters have also mixed in with humans after hundreds of years of war. in the world.
Just like Qiao Xueying and Yun Yuqing whom I met before, they have actually successfully integrated into the lives of human society.
There are many demon masters supported by various forces in the capital, but I don't know which one they are.
So he immediately started making arrangements and asked Xiao Jianren to go back to the embroidery building to investigate who were raising such demon masters in the capital. He was familiar with the situation in the capital, so this was the most suitable thing to check.
He stayed and began to interrogate and investigate other people in the casino.
It's a pity that no useful information was found until the evening. The remaining people in the casino are all wage earners. They don't know anything about the boss. They only know that he has a mysterious background and seems to have some big backers in the capital. Unfortunately, Ning Hao has always kept secret who his backer is.
Zu An knew that nothing could be found through this line, so he woke up and returned to the capital first.
As he was galloping along, he suddenly frowned and hurriedly tightened the reins.
"What's wrong, Master Eleven?" The other embroidered clothes messengers asked one after another.
Zu An did not answer because he felt a sense of peeping.
