So, when the time came after noon. As the smell of firewood and cooking drinks spread in the streets and alleys, people were preparing for lunch; even the most diligent criminals and Wuhou retreated to their rooms or to restaurants and restaurants on the porch, preparing to deal with a group of people. At the moment of pause.
The sound of a large group of people running past in the street broke the quietness of the afternoon, which gradually calmed down; it also made the officials from Jingzhao and Jingzhao counties who were still on the street stunned and frightened, and could not help but stop eating. And running around listening to sounds.
Under the guidance of dozens of light cavalry holding flags such as "Clean Street" and "Patrol", they drove forward to clear the way; groups of people followed at a quick trot, wearing red half-armor and iron trousers, and wearing The disciples of King Wu in smocks were rushing across the street in several groups.
One of the routes went straight to the northeast of the city, across the street from the Wannian County Government Office, and to Qinrenfang, where official residences gathered. Finally, they were alarmed by the noise and prying eyes in the high-walled mansion. , stopped in front of a mansion regulated from the fifth level.
"Jinwu Jingjie, open the door quickly!"
With fierce shouts, several Jinwu disciples held heavy cast-iron beast-headed hammers and smashed them against the closed Wutou door; and in the puffs of dust and sawdust, they were knocked out in three or five times. A deformed crack turned into a sudden collapse.
And among the roaring dust, one could clearly see the chaos in the courtyard, and many figures running away in all directions crying for their fathers and mothers. Obviously, the vast majority of people in the center were not too mentally prepared for the sudden arrival of the Jinwu guards.
Then the Jinwu disciples swarmed in, like wolves and tigers, rushing through the hall; and Wuxia controlled and overwhelmed all the activities that could be seen. Finally, after a quick glance and the dust settled, the leader of the team, General Kingo, and others were ushered in.
However, this distinguished general only walked into the vestibule with a solemn face, glanced around briefly, and then confirmed again to Sakon's subordinates:
"Is everything in Beiyuan Mansion under complete control?"
Then a military officer with a thick beard and big eyes answered:
"Back to General Zhu, as long as there is energy and movement, I have already mastered it."
"That's good,"
Zhu Biejiang nodded slightly and said loudly to the outside:
"The inside has been cleared. Please ask Guo Guancheng to bring people from the procuratorate in to inspect the scene."
Afterwards, Guocheng Censor Guo Chongtao and Jiang Tian walked into the mansion first. Then, under the leadership of Guo Chongtao, these Jinwu disciples were divided into more than ten groups, and each of them conducted detailed targeted searches of various architectural spaces.
However, this alone is obviously not enough. Murong Wu, the senior jailer who was responsible for leading the team, blew a sharp whistle at Guo Chongtao's instruction.
As the whistle blew, many men in black robes and black men rushed in, holding long-handled probes shaped like Luoyang shovels. At the sound of the order, they leaned against the wall and arranged themselves in rows of more than ten people. They began to dig in and dig out the ground one by one in the garden and in front of the house at intervals of one step.
This grid-based survey method came from Jiang Tian’s on-site suggestions. After all, as a senior fan of pseudo-detective reasoning, he not only experienced most of the scenes of the three gods of death, but also completed the realistic series "CSI" for many years.
As the saying goes, if you have read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you will be able to recite them even if you don't know how to write them... Ah no, it should be that even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen the basic principles of pig walking.
Then, in the small lotus pond in the back garden, the people who also came to search were stirred and explored with probe rods. Soon they discovered and fished out several corpses with varying degrees of decay. Obviously, even if the owner here is not involved in the case, his hands are not clean.
Not long after, the Jinwu Guards team responsible for the search was the first to get results. They first discovered a hidden compartment embedded in the wall behind the demolished cabinet in the study. However, there are some letters and documents inside, which need subsequent identification.
Immediately afterwards, in the back room of the main hall where the owner lived, and in the mezzanine of the curtain of the big jujube wood bed, many gold and silver treasures and boudoir entertainment items were discovered; that was all. But in the process of taking apart this huge bed tent, some soldiers accidentally hit the wall.
As a result, a small secret door was discovered in the depression where the plaster was applied to the wall. In the wall inside the secret door, in addition to many banknotes and stacks of gold and silver coins, there was also a somewhat abrupt gray-green, broken-grained, narrow-necked, three-legged vase.
Then while shaking the large bottle, I discovered something was plugged inside. After finally breaking it into pieces and taking it out, it turned out to be a small volume without any signature. It was filled with various symbols and marks, but apart from the unknown date, there was nothing that could directly serve as strong evidence;
This result certainly made Guo Chongtao a little disappointed; but it seemed to touch Jiang Tian's heart, and he asked for it on the spot to take a look. During this extremely unbearable moment of waiting, people who were searching the ground with a net in the courtyard behind also made another discovery.
As several pits were quickly dug out on site, the basic outlines of the hard objects detected inside gradually emerged. First of all, it was a piece of armor wrapped in coarse silk that had become rusty; however, General Zhu Bie, who was participating in the ceremonial guard in front of the palace, recognized it on the spot.
This is a special vest, and judging from the remaining five-color silk, it is obviously part of the vest used as a guard of honor for the royal court, and is used by the horses in front of the palace. Then, the second pit was a long and flat rattan box with a row of round-bellied porcelain bottles inside;
One of them had been broken into pieces, and an indescribable aura was faintly exuding; and Jiang Tian, who smelled this familiar aura, suddenly felt blessed and suddenly realized: "I'm afraid this is not used to guide that fierce person." The special smell of beasts?”
Then, the third excavation site located under a big tree was also dug out; it turned out to be a buried abandoned well with a cover. In the reopened abandoned well, there was nothing but deep silt. However, some familiar scratches were found on the four walls.
At this point, it seems that the Beiyuan envoy who hanged himself in the palace has basically solid evidence; it will be up to Guo Chongtao and others to see how they will use these clues to continue to pursue the victory and expand the results.
However, at this time, the progress of the mission, which had been silent since the beginning of the search, suddenly appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision, and suddenly increased by 0.5%...
While he was flipping through the small book, he seemed to have been triggered by something and had a flash of inspiration. Did he seem to have seen the symbols and marks in the booklet he found in the abandoned temple where he kidnapped and hid the cheap student Luo Luo?
But General Zhu Bie, who was waiting outside, once again received rewards from the outside. He couldn't help but said in surprise:
"In the alleyway outside the back garden, are there people who have fled to report the news? It seems that there is really something going on in this house!"
In another place in Chang'an City, the Yushitai is used for temporary inquiries.
Zuo Ducha Zhou Bangyan looked carefully at the veteran guard Gu Zuolang of the Zuo Prison who was suddenly attacked and interrogated on his way home through the screen, but still looked as normal and calm as ever; he also revealed a meaningful expression. With an expression on his face, he said to Hai Gong beside him:
"He did have questions, and he answered them very neatly. He didn't have time to think about it, so he basically answered it perfectly."
"This is not like a reaction to being suddenly summoned for questioning. It is almost like a prepared countermeasure and rhetoric."
"Perhaps you, the guards on the left and right, should take care of yourself. Otherwise..."
"Don't worry, Zuodu. Even if you can't catch anyone here for the time being, the Za family won't let it go easily. After all, it's about the safety and honor of the Tian family. Old people like the Za family don't have to worry about their face."
But Haigong smiled a little coldly and said:
