"Your Highness, after the Liu Mansion was seized, were there any searches?"
"There was no large-scale search. Liu Qian, the owner of the Liu Mansion, was the brother-in-law of Cheng Guogong Shen Zhuang and was also an official of the imperial court. He only detained a group of people from his mansion in the Dali Temple cell. The search of the house was not carried out thoroughly!" Ye Liuli said .
"Which yamen seized the Liu Mansion?"
"Dali Temple."
"Then if we search the house now, what formalities are required?"
"No need, this case is now being hosted by me and co-organized by Dali Temple. If I say house search, who dares to say no?" Ye Liuli said domineeringly.
"That's good, let's search the Liu Mansion now. Youmei is here to kill Ding Xian. She definitely doesn't care about Ding Xian's secrets. If Ding Xian has any secrets, will he hide them? Where is it in Liu Mansion?" Luo Xing said.
"This conjecture is very reasonable." Ye Liuli nodded, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to Liu Mansion now."
"Your Highness, I don't think there is any need to make a big fuss. The three of me, Qingyi and you are enough."
"Liu Mansion is not small, how can the three of us search here?"
"If Ding Xian really hides something, most people won't be able to find it. Rather than letting people search the Liu Mansion and make it even harder to find, we might as well go there quietly." Luo Xing said, from now on he will be the one to find it. If someone were to mess around with his house, he would have to work hard to clean it up.
"Your Highness, when we search the Liu Mansion, it's best not to alert Duke Cheng." Qingyi also warned.
"Well, what Qingyi said makes sense, then there will be three of us, wearing casual clothes."
"Got the order!"
…
In Pingkangfang, the Liu Mansion was sealed off, and a seal was posted on the door. There were police officers from Dali Temple guarding the door, and no one was allowed to approach.
The whole house was quiet.
As soon as she got close to the house, Ji Yu'er said in her mind: "I can sense the Nine Nether Black Lotus. Its lotus is almost mature and will emit a strange aura."
"Is there a problem?"
"You have to seal the emanation of this aura, otherwise it will attract others' attention." Ji Yu'er reminded.
"After entering in a while, you go check it out. When you turn around, I will find an opportunity to seal the gap." Luo Xing nodded. He proposed to search Ding Xian's residence in Liu Mansion and also explore the "Nine Nether Molian". "The idea kills two birds with one stone.
"I know." Ji Yu'er said, this is also related to whether her spirit body can turn from virtual to real, so how can she not be concerned about it? If she couldn't leave Luo Xing too far, she would have come to take a look.
His identity card flashed.
Naturally, the Dali Temple police officer guarding the gate did not dare to stop him, so he opened the side door and let the three people in.
After the Liu family was imprisoned, there was another heavy snowfall. No one had cleaned the snow in the house, and there was a thick layer on the road. However, this also proved that no one had come in since the Liu house was sealed.
The pavilions and pavilions in this mansion are obviously in the style of Jiangnan. It is obvious that this house has a lot of beauty because of the design inside.
It seems that Ji Yuer has put a lot of thought into this house. From now on, the house will belong to her, and she only needs to make some adjustments. After all, everyone has their own living habits.
Of course, experts can walk on the snow without leaving a trace. Maybe they have been here before, maybe they haven’t...
The three of them didn't have any scruples and stepped directly on the thick snow, covering most of their calves. It felt quite good to step on it.
They already knew where Ding Xian lived, and the three of them headed straight for the small courtyard.
The yard is not big, and the location is slightly remote, which suits his identity that he needs to hide. He is the instructor of a nursing home, and his status is unusual. Naturally, he lives differently from ordinary nursing homes.
Not only has a courtyard, but there is also a place to receive guests.
The place is not big, so no one should disturb him if he lives here. The quilt on the bed in the house is a bit messy, and there are many footprints on the ground, which should be left by the people who found him dead in the room and carried the body out.
"After Ding Xian died, did anyone else enter Liu Mansion to investigate the scene?"
"No, I just don't know if Dali Temple has been here since it sealed off the Liu Mansion." Qingyi said.
"Lai Junjie, the young minister of Dali Temple, asks to see Mr. Counselor Ye." As they were talking in the room, a voice came in from outside.
"He came quite quickly. The Dali Temple Yamen is not close to here. Why is this guy so fast?"
"Maybe they are nearby?" Luo Xing smiled and explained.
"Master Lai, come in."
"I have met with Counselor Ye, General Qinglang, and Captain Luo!" A white-faced official in his thirties came in, wearing a grass-green official robe. He is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. This is an official of the fifth rank. At least in the local area, the officials are based on the parents of one prefecture. In Luojing, the fifth-rank officials are not really powerful, but the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is in charge of the trial of prison cases, which is a rare official with great power.
Luo Xing and Qingyi hurriedly returned the favor. Qingyi was a fifth-grade general, on the same level as the other party, but Luo Xing was a small eighth-grade captain, and the difference was not just a star.
He is a lower official, how dare he accept such a big courtesy from his superior.
"Lai Shaoqing came very quickly. You were here just as I arrived." Ye Liuli smiled and asked.
"The official is nearby. Hearing the report from his subordinates, he rushed over." Lai Junjie hurriedly leaned over to explain.
"Lai Shaoqing is not on duty at Dali Temple, but he is wandering on the street. Isn't this considered absenteeism?"
"General Qinglang was joking. I am handling a case. Although Ding Xian's case is handled by Nanya, Dali Temple is also the associate manager. I am the deputy chief, so I should do my best." Lai Junjie explained, "I am guessing. , the killing of Ding Xian has nothing to do with his collaboration with the enemy and treason. Therefore, the person who killed him must not pay attention to the secret of his collaboration with the enemy and treason. Therefore, the killer left after killing the person without searching the place where he lived. If Ding Xian really hid any secrets If so, it must be where he lives!"
"Oh, what Lai Shaoqing thinks is similar to what I think."
"It's still a step too late to be dismissed." Lai Junjie chuckled.
Luo Xing's expression showed a hint of weirdness, but he didn't say anything. There were too many people in the officialdom who had exquisite minds.
The wisdom of many people is beyond your imagination.
People like Lai Junjie thought about it, but didn't do it. Instead, he waited quietly near Liuzhai, just to let the chief officer Ye Liuli come over to collect evidence in person. He showed up in time, and the main credit was Ye Liuli's, and he, by the way, took some credit. Son.
Not only did he not steal Shangguan's limelight, but he also left a good impression in front of Shangguan and benefited from it.
This guy is really a smart guy!
Ye Liuli probably couldn't tell how serious this guy was thinking for a while, but he spoke and acted with a sense of intelligence, which really made people feel comfortable.
"Lai Shaoqing is here, please help us take a look." Ye Liuli ordered.
"I obey your orders."
For ordinary people, there are a few places where things are most likely to be hidden, such as pillows, under the bed, in the beams of the room, in hidden compartments in the study. If you are creative, you can also hide them under the floor tiles, between walls, etc.
Ding Xian was born in the Zhenwu Academy and should not have received any professional secret agent training. Hiding things should be within the scope of normal people, but it should not be underestimated. After all, some people's thinking goes beyond the normal thinking patterns.
In the past search, Luo Xing had to touch and even tap every floor tile and wall tile with his hands to determine whether there were any hidden items inside through the echo.
But now, he doesn't need to go to such trouble. Once his spiritual consciousness is released, he can naturally detect where something is wrong.
This is the application of spiritual cultivation, which brings great convenience to life.
In the place where he lived, Ding Xian still hid some things. It was not without success. He found some silver coins and gold tickets, as well as a ring. The ring belonged to a man. It was very ordinary. He should have worn it often in the past. After changing my name, I couldn't wear it for fear of being recognized, so I put it away.
"How much is Ding Xian's salary?"
"Ding Xian's official position is deputy envoy of Yangzhou Tuanlian, and he is a seventh-rank official. Secretly, his salary as a seventh-rank official is about sixty taels of silver per month. If allowances and subsidies are included, Yangzhou is prosperous. In a prosperous land, even if he doesn't embezzle and deduct military pay, he can still get one hundred and fifty taels a month. After a year, two thousand taels is not a big problem."
"Two thousand taels is enough for a civil servant to live a very prosperous life for a family of five, but it may not be enough for a martial arts practitioner. As a second-grade martial arts sect, he has to practice hard to maintain his cultivation level without deteriorating. , the cost will be at least five thousand taels," Ye Liuli said.
Luo Xing was secretly speechless. Martial arts training is really expensive. Ordinary people have no money and resources, so they are really not suitable to take this path.
"So, if there is no other source of income, he must be involved in corruption or other illegal things?"
"Not necessarily. You can escort goods for wealthy businessmen. Tuan Ding is relatively free. In addition to formal officials, most of them work for the people in peacetime and in wartime. Only in wartime will the court issue ding patch. In peacetime, as long as someone is willing It's okay to give people bodyguards to protect courtyards, or to escort goods, etc. Yangzhou is prosperous, there are many needs for this, and there are many ways to make money. After a year, it is normal to earn several times more than your salary, but Other states may not have it," Lai Junjie explained.
"Master Lai, I have learned a lesson."
"I just have a brief understanding of it." Lai Junjie said modestly.
It seems that the man surnamed Lai has done enough homework before coming here and wants to perform well in front of Ye Liuli. It is understandable. In the officialdom, who doesn't want to find a backer and continue to make progress?
"Master Lai, have you checked Ding Xian's source of income?"
"The official has checked, but after the fall of Yangzhou, many information materials were incomplete, and the official was unable to judge his financial status during his tenure in Yangzhou."
"A dignified second-grade martial sect with only a few hundred taels of wealth is a bit shabby, isn't it?" Ye Liuli asked. Ding Xian had joined the Shen family, known as the "God of Wealth", unless someone took away his wealth. , otherwise why are there only a few hundred taels of silver?
Could it be that Ding Xian lost all his wealth on the way back to Luojing?
"Can you find Ding Xian's account at the Huitong counter? Aren't the salaries distributed by the court all distributed through the Huitong counter?"
"After checking, there is not a penny in Ding Xian's account, and according to the records, every time his salary is paid out, Ding Xian will withdraw the money as soon as possible." Lai Junjie replied.
"Does this guy have any special habit of taking out the money and spending it as soon as it arrives?" Luo Xing clicked his tongue.
"Ding Xian loves gambling and is a frequent visitor to casinos. When he was studying at Zhenwu Academy, he once lost thousands of taels of silver in one night."
"But he lives in seclusion in the Liu Mansion and has never been to a casino?"
"If you haven't been to the casino in the capital, is there no other casino to go to?" Luo Xing asked back.
"Ghost market!"
"I didn't see his Ghost Market ID card!" Everyone realized that Ding Xian's Ghost Market ID card was not found at the scene.
It was the Liu family who collected the bodies. If the Ghost Market ID tag was taken away by the Liu family, the Liu family must know about it. If it were not the Liu family, then there would be a problem with the disappeared Ghost Market ID tag.
Ding Xian is not married, so he naturally does not have a wife or children, but he still has parents and brothers in his hometown in Qingzhou. These people can use his ghost market identity card to inherit the ghost coin wealth in it.
The ghost market has its own rules. If you want to check Ding Xian's identity card in the ghost market, you must first know what his name is in the ghost market.
The ghost market will not disclose any relevant information. This is the foundation of the ghost market. If the rules are broken, the ghost market will not be able to stand.
Not even the five holy places and the ten first-level sects that established the ghost market dare to break this rule. The punishment for breaking the rules is quite severe.
