"It should be those people from the Tianma Escort Agency who discovered that the thing was fake, so they temporarily left Su Zhe alive and wanted to ask him where the thing was." Yan Jun guessed.
"But Cheng Wuzuo didn't find any traces of torture on Su Zhe's body. It's also strange..." Lu Jing paused and continued, "The prefect also sent people to ask the hawkers near the Tianma Escort Bureau before, but they didn't find any traces of torture..." Su Zhe was seen visiting Tianma Escort Agency during that time."
"If it's a secret escort, maybe he was quietly led through an intermediary."
"Well, I happen to know a friend who is doing business in this area. Let's go ask him later." Lu Jing muttered, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Yun's messenger hurriedly flying from a distance. Come over.
The two of them were not worried but happy when they saw this.
Yan Yun and Lu Jing are actually not worried that the people who killed Su Zhe will attack Wang Wan's family again, because they are both in Wujiang City now.
Two first-class masters can walk sideways even if they are in a dragon's pool or a tiger's den together.
On the contrary, if the opponent keeps hiding in the dark and does not move, it may not be easy to find them in a short time, so Lu Jing and Yan Yun are eager for the opponent to make some move.
But those guys dared to take action before it was completely dark. They were a little too courageous, right?
Ignoring the horrified looks of passers-by on the street, Lu Jing and Yan Yun each used Qing Kung Fu and hurried back to Jiucao Street in less than half a stick of incense.
But what they saw next was a scene that made them dumbfounded.
I saw Wang Wan directing the maids and Uncle Han in the front yard to bring steaming dishes to the table and arrange them neatly. After seeing Lu Jing and Yan Yun, she said in surprise, "That bird is really It’s so useful, why are you back so soon?”
"Where are the people?" Yan Yun asked.
"Who?" Wang Wan was at a loss, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and said hurriedly, "Oh, those bad guys didn't come, and it's not dark yet. I ordered a table of food and drinks for sixty taels of silver from Gong Lou. I want to call you back for dinner.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Jing and lowered his head.
Yan Yun was a little helpless, "Sister Wang, you don't have to be so outspoken, we can just eat outside."
"How can that be done? You guys are helping me investigate my late husband's murder case. How can I do nothing and just watch you busy, and... it was too late yesterday, and I didn't have time to let Bao'er and Chai'er Come out and see you.”
As Wang Wan spoke, she waved to the room, and then she saw two young children, a boy and a girl, walking out hand in hand.
They both looked to be no more than six or seven years old, and they were chubby. At a glance, you could tell that they were children from a wealthy family, but perhaps because they had been frightened too much during this period, both of them were a little timid.
"Why are you just standing there, why don't you come and kowtow to your Aunt Yan and Master Lu?" Wang Wan caressed the heads of the two children with a doting look on her face, "With them here, those bad guys will not dare to come to our house again."
After hearing this, the two young children wanted to kneel down together, but they were stopped by Lu Jing and Yan Yun, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
"There is no need to say thank you to my family." Yan Yun said, "It's actually my fault for this matter. When I received the first letter, I didn't expect that you would also be in danger, so there was a delay in the middle, otherwise I wouldn't have let you know. My sister and children were frightened again.”
Lu Jing on the other side also said, "It won't be too late to thank me after you catch the murderer."
"Didn't you prepare something for Aunt Yan and Daxia Lu?" Wang Wan said to the two children again.
Upon hearing this, Bao'er and Chai'er stretched out the hand they were holding. In their fleshy palms were small animals made of grass stems. This was the children's favorite game.
Lu Jing and Yan Yun didn't pay much attention to it, so they thanked each other and accepted it. Then everyone sat at the table and started eating dinner.
It has to be said that the dishes costing sixty taels a table were prepared by Chef Gong Lou, who is known as the first floor of Wujiang City. I refused to investigate the case in the future.
But by the time the banquet was over, the sky had turned completely dark.
So the matter of finding the middleman friend can only be postponed until tomorrow, but the good news is not without it. After eating, Lu Jing returned to the room, checked his upper dantian, and found that the void energy in it had disappeared. More than half of it.
This progress is faster than he originally expected. It seems that if he is lucky, at this time tomorrow night, he may be able to solve the hidden danger of the secret power once and for all.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The next day, after breakfast, he and Yan Yun went out early together.
This time, Lu Jing found a matchmaker in Wujiang City named Shen Yi. However, unlike other matchmakers, Shen Yi's deals were more secretive.
There were several special tooth people like him in Wujiang City, and it was not easy to find them all. It took Shen Yi a long time to ask Lu Jing all over.
Finally, he came back and said to Lu Jing, "The people I asked have never done business with Su Zhen and Tianma Escort Agency."
Yan Yun heard the hidden meaning behind Shen Yi's words and said, "Is there anyone else Mr. Shen hasn't asked about?
"Yes, but it's a pity that he can never answer your questions."
"He died, when?"
"Three months ago," Shen Yi said, "calculating the time, we happened to be exactly the same as the owner of Su Zhe's Su family cloth shop."
"Someone silenced him afterwards?"
"It's possible," Shen Yi sighed, "Although our industry makes money quickly, it also dies quickly, especially those who do better die faster. Very few people can live to the end of their lives."
"Has his family reported it to the police?"
"No, because once we report it to the police, a police officer will come to investigate the case. There are too many secrets behind us. We are afraid of being investigated. Generally, if we die, we will die. Our family will not tell anything about it and just bury the matter. , so at least the money is still there, and I have already chosen a cemetery for myself."
After Shen Yi left, Yan Yun couldn't help but feel a little headache, "That means the clue of the middleman has been broken. The other party's work is very clean. So it seems that we can only wait for Sister Wang to sell the house and see. Who is the final buyer? There’s no way they don’t want that thing, right?”
"During this period, we may be able to check on Escort Master Geng and Escort Officer Waiting," Lu Jing said.
"That's all it can do." Yan Yun nodded.
At first glance, this case was not complicated. It was just a typical case of seeking money. However, when we really investigated it, we found that there were many doubts behind it, and some of them seemed to be contradictory.
Even with Yan Yun's patience, he became a little irritable for some reason.
