Chapter 144 Clues gradually appear
"Why is this?" Wang Fang was going to keep guiding.
"Because, what he asked us to do was really a loss of heads. He asked us to sneak into the imperial city and went to find a good-growing tree in front of Tianjin Bridge, saw a few branches, and the ones that were to be sawed off but not fell. We couldn't find that this tree had been sawed. Changshi, do you understand what the villain means?"
Wang Fang wanted to make every effort to get along, so he nodded slightly and signaled him to continue talking.
"Although we are native Luoyang people, we have never even touched the edge of the imperial city. How dare we enter the imperial city to do bad things? Besides, although we have no knowledge, we know that the imperial city is very strict, so how can we Lai Han go in?"
"But you went in later. How did you do it?"
"How do we know!"
"The master promised that we just need to take money and go in with tools to work, and we don't need to worry about the rest."
"We didn't believe it at first. Just a few of us, Lai Xiang, would probably be caught if we couldn't even step into the first gate of the imperial city. However, we couldn't help but take advantage of the master! Seeing that we were in trouble, we immediately said that we would give us a hanging of money after the matter was done. As a result, we agreed."
"At night, a carriage came and took us to the imperial city. After about half an incense stick, the carriage stopped and we were put down. At this time, we saw a river and a bridge. I think this is where the master told us to work. Guess what, there is really no one around the bridge, only our brothers. We immediately went up to work. Later, it seemed that the patrolers were alarmed, so we rushed to the carriage and ran away."
It seems that this matter is getting more and more complicated.
Obviously, there were people who responded to them in the inner palace, and only a few real Lai Han could enter the heavily guarded palace.
Unfortunately, 80% of this spy was in the Yulin Guard.
Furthermore, the pick-up of the carriage can also be explained that the carriage must have come from the official family, otherwise the first city gate would not be able to pass through, let alone the Tianjin Bridge.
Now it is certain that this person who wants to murder Li Jun has a good official position, and at least he must be a fifth-rank or above.
"According to your opinion, you have carriages to pick you up and drop off along the way. What does the coachman look like? Can you still think about it?"
"Have you ever said anything?" Lu Jingzhang asked.
Liu Cheng shook his head regretfully. He was beaten like this. Of course, he hoped to provide more information to the government and avenge himself.
If it weren't for being beaten like this by this bad master, his brothers would have died tragically, and Liu Cheng would not have been willing to join the government.
Although he didn't know what he was going to do after sawing this branch, they were originally forbidden to enter the imperial city.
As long as your feet enter the imperial city, it is equivalent to a death sentence.
Even the gangsters knew this truth. It can be said that Liu Cheng came this time with the determination to die.
Death at the hands of the government and knowing his crimes is much better than being killed by a traitor.
"What are the characteristics of the person who is looking for you to work?" Li Jun asked anxiously.
"I'm just an ordinary master, who looks very rich at first glance, has a medium figure and wears a jade ring on his hand."
"What are the characteristics of appearance? Is there anything that can be recognized at a glance?"
"Oh, I remembered it."
"Here," Li Cheng pointed to the corner of his mouth and said, "There is a black mole here, which is particularly bulging. Also, when he gave us money, the young man saw that there was a scar on his tiger's mouth. It was quite long and white. It should be a year ago."
These are some useful clues, but Li Jun believes that this Kuo Master is definitely not the mastermind behind the scenes.
It is impossible for a person who can use such a vicious plan to negotiate with these Lai Han in person.
It seems that when they were looking for candidates, they had already thought of silence afterwards.
These Lai Han have been dead for a day now and have not seen anyone report to the official position. They are either homeless or have no job or their family cares about them at all.
If you find such a person to do things, you will destroy them after the matter is done and buried in the soil. Even if you are discovered several years later, no one will know that they died in this incident.
It's really a seamless trick.
Unfortunately, it seems that this plan has failed now.
Li Jun analyzed that this killer and the one who appeared in the gambling hall that day should not be the same.
That person should be a senior subordinate of the mastermind behind the scenes. The killer is so careless that he does things, it seems that he is just a low-level character who acts as a killing machine.
Now someone has also run away. I wonder if they have reported to their boss. I believe that their lives will not be easy either.
But at this moment, Li Jun remembered another question.
"Where are your dead brother buried? Can you still find it?"
Liu Cheng's injury has not healed yet and his spirits are gradually getting worse. He shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know the specifics. I can only say that the small guess should be in the south city."
"How can I see it?"
"Because the surroundings are very desolate, and there is a stone bridge on the channel, I saw that bridge, so I thought it should be in Nancheng. But I can't say which lifang it is."
Although Liu Cheng couldn't explain clearly, Li Jun roughly guessed this place.
In the southern city of Luoyang, where you can see the stone bridge of the branch can be seen, there is only Yanqingfang, the southernmost end of the southern city.
Because Yanqingfang is located in a remote location, there are not many people living there, and it is indeed particularly desolate as Liu Cheng said.
It seems that even if there is no breakthrough for a while, you can start by finding the corpse first and you can always find some clues.
Liu Cheng could no longer remember anything valuable, so everyone retreated one after another. Before leaving, Liu Cheng, who had been in a stable mood, suddenly stepped on the edge of the bed and burst into tears.
This scared everyone and didn't dare to move at that time.
Li Jun, who had experienced this scene for the first time, obviously hadn't figured out how this big man had become so fast.
Then Liu Cheng begged: "Mr. Jun, although the young man trespassed into the imperial city, he was also confused by the traitor. He was confused for a while. Now that the brothers are dead, the young man is willing to cooperate with the government to capture the suspect. I hope Jun can spare my life for the sake of the young man's pitifulness."
His nose bubbles were all bursting out when he cried, his big face turned red, and the wounds on his head were ripped.
Wang Fang and Lu Jingzhang are watching Li Jun now. If Li Jun is not present, they will say a few perfunctory words and comfort him first, at least until he recovers his injuries and catches the traitor before dealing with it.
However, now Li Jun is present. They have to look at Li Jun's face and do things. With their eyes fixed on him, Li Jun finally remembered his responsibilities.
He could only say lightly: "Even if you are tempted by a villain and trespassing into the imperial city is a serious crime. I cannot directly declare you innocent. However, you should rest assured and recover from your injuries. Let's wait until the truth is found out."
