Soon after, on a wall extending from the northwest corner of Youtufang. The guards and officers who searched in the rain still found some traces that were obviously scratched, as well as ruts where heavy objects had once stayed.
However, due to the continuous rain, these marks are no longer obvious due to the erosion and soaking by the rain; if you don't observe carefully, you won't be able to see it at all. Even the ruts have become soft and muddy, making it difficult to follow the direction.
Although it seemed that the clue was broken again, Guo Chongtao's eyes became brighter and more excited. Since the other party still showed clues and traces, it at least allowed him to clarify the specific direction and general goal.
Then, following someone's advice and persuasion, he sent someone to climb up the wall with a long ladder, and poured special quick-drying mud into the traces that extended to the top of the wall.
After it is completely dry, take out the already formed paste molds one by one. You can use these paste molds of different sizes to deduce the target claw shape, size and strength.
After gradually completing these, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have missed something, and hurriedly shouted to his left and right:
"Quickly, send someone to get the list of the garrison and prison cells. Tell me that I want to verify the identities of each of them for the purpose of providing compensation for the aftermath."
Now that it has been verified that there may be internal cooperation behind this incident, how can we ensure that there are no problems at all among the surviving officials such as Wu Hou and the prisoner?
I just regret that several days have passed, and I am afraid that it is not enough for the suspect to wait, so I took the opportunity to cover up a lot of things. On the other hand, there are several yamen currently involved in the investigation, so the news may have been leaked out long ago.
However, as the saying goes, it is the basic truth that good things do not work and bad things do not work. When Guo Chongtao hurried back to the gate tower and forcibly took the list of registered persons for comparison, he didn't know what to look at and was shocked when he saw it.
Actually less than half of them have various problems. Among them, the most common ones are short-term positions where people pay for themselves on a daily basis but have never been in the job for a day; then, there is the phenomenon of spending money to replace the person who is not named;
The reason is also very simple. Although Youtufang is closed to the outside world, there are tens of thousands of residents inside all year round. There is a lot of money to be made in all aspects of clothing, food, housing, transportation, and daily life.
Finally, the people Guo Chongtao sent to investigate those in charge of Youtufang reported back. As one of the important managers of Youtufang, the garrison captain Chen Guanshui did not return home, but disappeared at this juncture.
This result is both shocking and horrifying, but not very surprising. If something went wrong with him as the defensive officer, it would be enough to cover up too many things in the long run.
After all, in Youtufang, where all kinds of criminals and prisoners gather, it is normal for people to be killed or injured for various reasons from time to time. What's more, there are also problems left over from history, and the black households created are not even human beings.
If the situation is under control and the ferocious beasts are manipulated to hunt and kill those hidden people who are not registered in the household registration, then even if the scene is more bloody and cruel, there will be no splash at all.
But Guo Chongtao was not in a hurry anymore. Next, as long as we maintain enough pressure to pursue the case and invest manpower and material resources, we will eventually be able to force the mastermind behind the scenes and expose more flaws and clues.
After all, the fact that Chen Guanshui, who was originally from the military, was not sent to the Youtufang on duty did not happen out of thin air; at least there were various connections and insider information waiting for him to dig out one by one.
In an unknown other garden, Jiang Tian was also teasing the cat who had just woken up and drank enough goat milk; while reading the letters that had been specially delivered to Ambassador Liang's house.
However, this time it was not the usual polite text written by someone obviously. It was the first reply written by Luo Luo, the cheap student he rescued. It was also another form of diary.
Although it is just a running account, mentioning some daily trivial matters, the gentle feelings of children and bits of heart contained in the words are like a trickling clear spring, flowing in it;
It also makes people feel that the girl is slowly coming out of these things. Therefore, the appendix of Ambassador Liang's handwriting is more vaguely mentioned in the acknowledgments; I hope this can continue to help her figure it out.
Regarding this, Jiang Tian was certainly happy to see it come to fruition. Therefore, he quickly wrote a reply. But there were no words of comfort. Instead, he wished her well and vividly described the daily life of raising this cat.
At the end of writing, I suddenly heard the sound of "mi", but the cat was so curious that he accidentally stepped on the ink pool of the inkstone with his front paws, and then licked his tongue, beard, and mouth hair all black. .
Jiang Tian couldn't help but suddenly had the idea to pick it up by the neck; then he used its ink-soaked paw to press a small plum blossom-like ball mark next to his signature. Then, he added another pen and asked her to give her a name.
Then, Jiang Tian, who had put aside his thoughts, began to control the fire raccoon cloth with his mind, and began to float up and down, left and right, teasing the cat. While I was having a great time, I suddenly heard the familiar voice of Kodak:
"Sir, I'm here again."
"Sir, do you still have manuscripts stored there?"
"I found a reliable bookstore..."
After hearing the news, Jiang Tian put his head on his hands helplessly. This guy was obviously a little too enthusiastic. However, in this loss of concentration, the piece of fire-huan cloth that was used to tease the cat suddenly flew away from its claws and landed on the charcoal basin used for dehumidification.
However, the next moment, Jiang Tian, who wanted to pick it up with tongs, made a sudden movement. Because under the fire, some lines and patterns were clearly revealed on the fire cloth.
However, not long after, the forwarded letter was carefully opened and opened in front of a woman in a gorgeous dress. Although her face was obscured by a curtain, her graceful figure and every gesture had a bright and moving air that she did not dare to blaspheme about.
"Those people are really exaggerating."
I just heard her smile softly and say:
"This is just a frank and natural admiration between teachers and students; why do we have to speculate on selfish desires? He is obviously a person with a chivalrous style, why did he change his tone in their mouths, and did this in vain? Evil person?"
"Then, may I ask, Your Majesty, if you want it?"
Someone outside the curtain immediately asked for instructions:
"Of course, keep reading."
The woman said softly:
"After all, this is a matter involving Ajiu. It doesn't matter if he does whatever he wants, but I have to secretly keep a close eye on him."
"In addition, those manuscripts that are going to be sent out for publication may as well make a copy and send them to me."
