Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 741 The Prime Minister is Investigating the Case

With the departure of three prime ministers in succession, today's grand court meeting seemed much quieter.

The Minister of War Wang Xiaojie was yawning and sleeping soundly next to the Minister of Personnel Yao Chong.

Yao Chong, the Minister of Revenue Yao Ting, and the Minister of Justice Yao Yan looked at each other, clenched their fists, and were about to give Wang Xiaojie a hard blow.

At the critical moment, Wang Xiaojie opened his eyes and said dazedly:

"What the hell, how could he be so murderous!"

Yao Chong immediately held his head high and chest out, pretending nothing had happened.

Brothers Yao Ting and Yao Yun stood together, laughing secretly.

There was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere at the grand court meeting. In this atmosphere, the grand court meeting ended successfully, and the prime ministers set off one after another to go to the government hall to handle government affairs.

Yao Chong, Yao Ting and Yao Yun came to the government hall chatting and laughing. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the empty tables and chairs, and immediately had a bad feeling.

"Oh no! Those three are gone, Prince Liang is a complete idiot, and Elder Zhang has to deal with the government affairs of the Menxia Province. I'm afraid the three of us will die of exhaustion here these days."

Yao Chong suddenly remembered that there were only six prime ministers left in Beijing and in the central government to handle government affairs.

There is no need to say much about Wang Xiaojie. He is a complete idiot when it comes to handling government affairs.

If you study slowly and for a longer period of time, you will probably be able to learn it.

But who has the time to teach Wang Xiaojie how to handle government affairs now?

Zhang Jianzhi could not finish his job in a short time, and Wu Sansi took advantage of the situation while handling government affairs.

From this perspective, it seems that there are only three of them left in the Government Affairs Hall working diligently.

"There's nothing much to say. Now that they're gone, we can only do our best."

Yao Yun was the oldest. He stroked his beard and sat down directly.

Yao Ting and Yao Chong were just complaining, but they still had to do their work, so they asked their subordinates to deliver the government affairs to them.

……

While the three of them were writing furiously and handling government affairs, Di Renjie, who had already returned to Hanguang Temple, came to the small courtyard where Huaiyi had lived before.

Walking in front of the wide-open door, he looked down from afar at the location of the corpse drawn with charcoal on the ground.

"Based on the location of the body, we know what they said is true."

"Someone used a special method to keep these servants here, daring neither to ask for help nor to escape, until they were burned to death."

He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then took Zhang Huan and Li Lang to several windows to start checking.

It took a whole incense stick of time for Di Renjie to finally return to the door of the house.

Looking at the locations of most of the corpses outlined by the carbon blocks, Di Renjie lowered his eyes and watched for a long time.

Finally, he slowly laughed out loud.

"Where is there such a thing as scaring others so much that they dare not ask for help?"

"This is just a deception. If I'm not mistaken, the reason these people didn't ask for help is because they had already passed out."

"Only someone who is unconscious would not make a sound, and would not seek help even if burned to death."

Di Renjie clapped his hands, extremely convinced that his guess was correct.

There is only one possibility, that is, all the prisoners fell into a coma for the same reason.

So why did they pass out?

This is a better answer.

Because the owners of the footprints outside the window released drugs into the house.

In the blind spot of the Qianniu Guards, these people released drugs, knocking out the people in the house. After achieving their goal, they set fire to several houses to cover up their modus operandi.

What is their purpose?

Of course, it was the lecherous monk Huaiyi who disappeared in this case!

"Even I can figure out the process of this case, so how could Cunxi not know it?"

"The reason he didn't tell us how he committed the crime is because he's hiding something?"

"Or……"

"He, like us, doesn't want that lecherous monk Huaiyi to return to your majesty and cause further trouble in the palace."

Di Renjie couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He turned around and waved at Zhang Huan.

"Zhang Huan, this case is very complicated and confusing. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out in a short time. Please order someone to find a place to stay in Hanguang Temple. We can rest here for the next few days."

Of course Zhang Huan obeyed the order and immediately went to find the abbot to ask for a place to stay in Hanguang Temple.

On the other side, outside Luoyang City, on a long mountain road.

Wu Chengsi also came to the place where Huang Shengyan was attacked, and then led Hu Jinghui to check around.

The bodies of the snake killers on the mountain path had not been buried in time and were lying all over the ground. The scene was horrific.

In the mountains and forests, countless corpses were lying everywhere, with different causes of death.

Wu Chengsi soon discovered a very interesting situation and asked Hu Jinghui next to him:

"General Hu, look at these corpses on the ground. What's different?"

Hu Jinghui glanced down at the large number of corpses and bones brought in by the soldiers and replied:

"Some bodies were hacked to death, some were killed with a single blow, and some were just piles of bones."

Yes, the corpses on the ground died in completely different ways, and it was not a killing method that could be done by the same type of people.

Apart from anything else, not many people can pull off the combat method of reducing a living person to bones.

Wu Chengsi stroked his chin and stood up.

"I've only heard of this method of killing once. It was used by a Turkic wind rider during the Chongzhou case."

Hu Jinghui nodded, indicating that he knew too.

After all, during the Chongzhou case, he followed Li Cunxi from Chongzhou to the Turkic territory, and then from the Turkic territory back to Chongzhou.

I've had many dealings with wind riders.

If he says he doesn't know, that would be weird.

"However, this group of cavalry was completely defeated by us when Cunxi II went to Chongzhou to mediate the war between the Turks and Khitans."

Hu Jinghui said this against his conscience.

"We almost wiped out this group of people back then, so why are they making a comeback now?"

"Could it be that this is another Turkic conspiracy against our Great Zhou?"

Wu Chengsi thought about it for a moment and agreed, "It's not impossible. After all, the five Dulu tribes are eyeing our Great Zhou covetously, and the Snake Spirit has colluded with the Turks several times."

He turned around with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of worry.

He was only a few years away from landing safely, and he really didn't want something like a war between two countries to happen at this time.

If there were any mistakes, Wu Chengsi's reputation would be ruined for the rest of his life.

"No, no."

He shook his head frantically, his brain racing.

"No, no, when we found these bones, there were fragments of nightgown fabric on the ground!"

"In other words, the Turkic Wind Riders have returned not to fight against our army, but to become enemies of the Serpent Spirit's killers!"

"I was so flustered just now that I almost didn't notice this important situation!"
