Upon hearing these words, everyone at the table changed their expressions.
Jiang Lei is dead!
This legendary martial arts tycoon, master of hidden weapons, and the soul of Leihuo Hall, who started from humble beginnings but fought back all the way to achieve great things, unexpectedly died just like that, and his head was cut off.
Most people’s first reaction when hearing this news is disbelief.
Especially Lu Jing, Li Bufan and Yu Wenyu. They had just met Jiang Lei less than half an hour ago. Who would have thought that this would be their last meeting with Jiang Lei.
After a while, Li Bufan was the first to speak, "Will Zhuangzi seal it up?"
Aunt Wen nodded, "I have ordered people to guard the door."
Seeing that the British father seemed a little confused, Yu Wenyu explained, "We met Jiang Lei before, about half an hour ago, and he never left his house until we went out and walked here."
Aunt Wen also said later, “According to the maid who first went to invite Hall Master Jiang to the table, she probably went to Hall Master Jiang’s door with a stick of incense. She did not see Hall Master Jiang himself, but she looked through the window paper. When she saw the figure in the room, she told her purpose of coming outside the door. Hall Master Jiang replied to her that he understood, and his tone was a little impatient.
"And the second maid arrived in front of a cup of tea. She knocked on the door and found no one answered, so she opened the door and walked in. Then she saw Hall Master Jiang's body on the bed."
"That is to say, the time when Hall Master Jiang was killed should be between the departure of the first maid and the arrival of the second maid." Lu Qinghou touched his chin and said, "If you think about it, there is only one stick at most from the incident to now. Fragrant time, indeed, the murderer is probably still in Zhuangzi now."
"It should be said that she must still be in Zhuangzi," Aunt Wen said, "Today is my mother's birthday. In order to prevent accidents from happening, I specially sent more guards. However, I did not expect that something would happen in Zhuangzi at that time. I was prepared. Mainly those wandering bandits outside.
"I just asked the person in charge of security. In the past hour, no one has entered or exited the main entrance or the two side doors. In addition, I have also arranged archers on the city wall. Originally, it was to prevent experts from outside from sneaking in, but if There are Qinggong masters who want to climb over the wall from inside, and it is basically impossible not to alert them."
"In this case, things will be simple. All we need to do next is to find the murderer from Zhuangzi." The British Governor said.
However, the look on Aunt Wen's face still looked solemn. She sighed and said, "Palace Master Jiang died unexpectedly in Wenjiazhuang. Even if the murderer is not from our Wenjiazhuang, there must be people from the village who are his internal agents. , otherwise it would be impossible to grasp the whereabouts of Hall Master Jiang so clearly and seize the small gap in which he is alone."
Aunt Wen paused for a moment before saying this, "The death of Hall Master Jiang is of great importance. I not only have to give an explanation to my second daughter, but also to the 6,000 people in Leihuo Hall, and to the people in the world, so , this time we not only want to catch the murderer and avenge Hall Master Jiang, but also catch the traitor who helped him. It is best to find out the mastermind behind his murder.
"The first thing may be easier, but the latter two... we, the Wen family, may not be able to do it with our own strength."
The six people sitting here all know that the Wen family is not actually out of their depth, but they are worried that the final investigation results will not be able to convince the public, not only the Leihuotang gang, but also the people in the world.
After all, Jiang Lei died in the Wen family village, and it was likely that someone from the Wen family was involved. If the identity of the other party was not simple, some people would inevitably doubt whether the Wen family would play some trick of abandoning the car to protect the commander-in-chief, so Aunt Wen needs a few important people to ensure the authenticity of the investigation results.
Or more accurately, it is authority, and no one is more suitable to do this than the six people at the table. Although Lu Qinghou and others are uncles of the Wen family, they are also heroes in the martial arts world. Not one of them is a person who sticks to his word.
Add in Lu Jing, and with their endorsement, there should be far fewer people who question it.
Of course Lu Qinghou and others would not refuse.
Not only to help the Wen family survive this crisis, but also because the murderer dared to commit murder under their eyes, which in itself was a provocation to them.
So Li Bufan said directly, "Auntie and Mrs. Jiang don't need to be polite. Whenever you can use us, just ask. Whether it's investigation, arresting a murderer, or if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."
And his words were echoed by everyone.
Aunt Wen was slightly relieved after receiving Li Bufan's guarantee, and then said, "In that case, let's ask a few uncles and Daxia Lu to help find out the whole story of Hall Master Jiang's murder and find the person who murdered him. OK. Don't worry, I won't let everyone's hard work go in vain. If anyone can catch the mastermind behind the scenes, the Wen family will definitely thank you with a big gift."
Lu Jing originally planned to come to the birthday banquet to answer questions and earn extra money. Now it seems that the birthday banquet is gone, but unexpectedly the extra money is still there, but the question has become a criminal investigation question.
But this is considered to be in line with his business.
So when Aunt Wen finished speaking, Lu Jing said, "Can I go to the place where Hall Master Jiang was killed?"
"Of course, from now on, the uncles and Daxia Lu can go wherever they want in the village. No one will stop them. If they want to talk to anyone, the people in the village will try their best to cooperate. In addition, I will also A group of guards will be assigned to each of you for your dispatch," Aunt Wen said.
Lu Jing didn't say anything when he heard this. After all, he was an outsider who had just arrived. He didn't know the layout of the buildings in Wen's village or the residences of the people. He really needed someone to guide him and solve his problems. In addition, Aunt Wen gave him Their team also has another meaning.
As for this meaning, Lu Jing also understood it, but he would not expose it.
Li Bufan and others, like him, led a small team and then left.
During this process, they were very surprised that they did not communicate with their wives during the whole process, and the same was true for Lu Jing. He just glanced in the direction of Wen Xiaochuan, and found that Wen Xiaochuan was also looking at him, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. Worry.
But when he saw him looking over, he quickly hid the worry in his eyes and made a gesture to Lu Jing that only the academy disciples could understand.
She curled up her little finger and middle finger, which meant that everything was fine, so Lu Jing returned the same gesture to her, and then led his team towards Jiang Lei's residence.
