Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 273 Murder in a dark alley

Looking at the dead bodies actually does not require Fan Xian to do it himself. The Overwatch Council's work is still very reliable, but the above-mentioned matters are more strict and stricter, so Fan Xian is definitely necessary. Going out in person, on the one hand, is to dispel the doubts above, and on the other hand, he really wants to see who he is.

But for the entire afternoon, even Fan Xian performed the operation himself, and there was no clue. These corpses were very rigorous, and the effect was extraordinary. Their bodies were impeccably cleaned, and even the dirt under the nails No, Fan Xian couldn't use anything to determine the environment they were in, and he couldn't find anything that could prove their origin.

At this time, Fan Xian lay back and frowned.

"My lord." Wang Qinian handed over a glass of water, came in front of Fan Xian, sighed and said, "The other party is very strict, our clues may be broken."

Fan Xian shook his head, "Even if it is rigorous, there is a starting point, but the clue to declare this matter to the outside world is broken."

"Oh?" Wang Qinian became interested. He looked at Fan Xian and asked in surprise, "My lord, do you have a solution?"

"I asked Mu Tie to investigate, and the results may come out today." Fan Xian took a sip of tea and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient."

In fact, Mu Tie did not go very far, he found out the ins and outs of this matter. At this time, Mu Tie was sitting in Changtingfang. The name of Changtingfang is very nice, like a poetic place, but here It is not a treasured place to talk about love, because this is the largest blacksmith's shop in the capital city, and in the room where Mu Tie is sitting, there is a dignified old man.

The old man has a broad figure, his entire shoulders are as long as Mu Tie's arm. This person looks like a trainer, but in fact his strength is not very high, he just has the strength of his shoulders, and his strength is not small, which he has practiced since childhood The reason is that the owner of Changtingfang retired from the army. Later, he found a relationship in the army and opened this blacksmith shop in Kyoto City. Later, because of his good craftsmanship and the owner's very good personality, he gradually became more popular in Kyoto City.

In the end, he also contracted the properties of several big and powerful families, and then he gradually reached the present situation. A self-made man like this loves his wings very much. After Mu Tie entered here, he tried his best to cooperate with Mu Tie's investigation. Three or four bookkeepers came and looked through it for two or three hours before finding some clues from the books.

"Here, sir, please take a look." The shopkeeper's name is Sun Changting, and he handed over all three account books in his hand. After Mu Tie took them respectively, he saw some scratches. The records on them were indeed Mu Tie. something needed.

"There are 54 pieces in total. These are the long knives made of fine iron that the adults said." Sun Changting introduced in a straight line, "Such long knives are widely used, and they are often ordered in large quantities, but within the time you mentioned Inside, the relatively small amount is this sum.”

Mu Tie looked at the account book, and then said, "Shopkeeper Sun, I still can't take a rough look at this matter. I want to bring this basic account book back to the Overwatch Council for the adults to have a look at. Is it convenient?"

Mu Tie was obviously speaking politely, he respected the shopkeeper more.

Sun Changting immediately smiled and said, "My lord, how about this? The work of the Overwatch Council must be much more detailed than ours. I will send someone to send all the books of this year to the Overwatch Council with you. Wait outside, when you finish watching, they can bring it back."

"It's so good, I would like to thank Shopkeeper Sun." Mu Tie smiled.

"Where, where, the Overwatch Council is in the capital city, so we small people can't help but not cooperate. The adults have worked so hard to investigate, and those who want to assassinate Master Fan in the capital city are also daring. They are so bold. For these people I hate it even more." Sun Changting expressed his emotions, and then asked, "Master Mu, how many people are here?"

"It's just the three of them. After some investigation, the result came to fruition. Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, so I will go back." Mu Tie nodded, and the two of them got up at the same time, saluting farewell.

Mu Tie only brought two men with him, and they all held some ledgers in their hands, while Mu Tie took the ledgers marked by Sun Changting, and the rest Sun Changting asked four people to follow Mu Tie and the others, just like that. Changtingfang walked all the way back to the Overwatch Council.

Sun Changting sent Mu Tie all the way to the back door of Changting Fang. The Overwatch Council has always been relatively low-key in its work, unless Fan Xian was around, so if possible, go through the back door as much as possible.

After bidding farewell to Sun Changting, Mu Tie was also in a better mood. After all, the case has progressed, and this day is not a waste of work. It is already sunset, and it is time for dinner. If you hand in the errand earlier, you can return earlier He had something to eat at home, and he was already planning what to have for dinner.

The road from Changtingfang back to the Overwatch Council is not all roads. Although the territory of the capital city is large, the main roads that can provide carriages are not as fast as some small streets and alleys, so these spies working in the procuratorate often go Walk some small paths, and Mu Tie, who was born and bred, knows these paths better, so he must have walked into a small alley.

The alley is not wide, only for three people to walk side by side, but at this moment, a group of people came from the opposite side, they were walking with a smile on their faces, and when they saw Mu Tie wearing the Overwatch Council official uniform, they changed their faces. There was some fear and he lowered his head.

This is a normal behavior, and Mu Tie didn't take it seriously, wearing this official uniform, he often encountered such a situation when walking in the capital city, and Mu Tie didn't take it seriously.

It's just that the two men next to him knew that the other side was going to pass by, so they followed behind Mu Tie. The three of them formed a line together, and the four behind them also lined up to follow sensiblely.

The group of people lowered their heads, like servants of ordinary aristocratic families, quietly walked by, not daring to show any air.

but……

At the moment when Mu Tie passed by the other party, a spy who had been investigating for many years suddenly saw the cocoon on the hand of the first person in charge. Fan Xian had clearly told him that this was not a cocoon from farm work. Farm work calluses will appear on the tiger's mouth and the roots of the four fingers of the palm, but only for killers with knives, calluses will appear outside the tiger's mouth and on the lower side of the wrist.

Mu Tie woke up suddenly, he felt so deeply that he wanted to grab the saber around his waist.

But how could such a speed be faster than the prepared killer?
54 long knives...

Mu Tie was careless!
In an instant, the blades were everywhere!
