The recipient is the owner of a shop in the West Market.In the letter, the Japanese merchant proposed to purchase a batch of goods, so he agreed with the shop in the letter.Such a letter looks very ordinary, and if ordinary people see it, they won't take it too seriously, and most of them will just read it.But it just so happened that the head of the smuggler of the Japanese camp had been responsible for resisting the Dongying Guild Hall, so he knew a little more than ordinary people.Out of professional sensitivity, he soon noticed that something was wrong.First of all, the Dongying Guild Hall itself also has a room in the West Market, if you want to purchase goods, it is good to go directly to the door for an interview, wouldn't it be more convenient to negotiate a good business in person?
Secondly, the background of the shopkeeper who was to be purchased by the Japanese merchants was not ordinary.The head of the snake knows that the owner behind this shop is a well-known figure in Chang'an.The Japanese merchants actually used letters to do business with this shop, and no matter how they thought about it, they felt that there was something wrong with it.So the head of the snake reported the matter to the Wuzheng camp, and the news spread layer by layer, and finally reached Cui Liulang's hands.Cui Liulang also attached great importance to this information when he got it, and immediately dispatched people to investigate along this line.It's a pity that after checking for several days, I didn't find any useful clues.The Japanese merchant of the Dongying Guild Hall did order a batch of goods from the shop in the West Market, and except for the strange fact that he ordered the goods by letter, he did not see anything unusual anywhere else.Just when Cui Liulang was a little relaxed, Zhou Yang heard about it and quietly peeked at the file on Cui Liulang's side, and then he was overjoyed and found the key to the case.Before, the Dongying Guild Hall had not been able to find anything useful, all because the Japanese people also knew that Datang was paying attention to them, so they acted very low-key and cautious.So is there a code word in that order letter?
Or is there something else to tell?
Zhou Yang thinks it is very likely.He made a hypothesis.If the Wa Guo Hosaku of the Dongying Guild knew that the people of the Tang Dynasty were spying on them, what would they do?
Naturally, it is a low-key hide.The people of the Japanese kingdom are staring at each other and are easy to be exposed, so it is very likely that they can collect information and exchange information through the hidden line of letters.Zhou Yang didn't believe that there was something in this world for no reason.When something goes wrong, there must be a reason.After making his judgment, he did two things, first, carefully analyzed the content of the letter to see if there were any secret words such as hiding the head.Second, send someone to keep an eye on the store in the West Market to look for new clues.Zhou Yang's move was quickly noticed by Cui Liulang.Then the case became two sides of the case, each investigating and forming a team independent of each other.They don't usually exchange messages, it's like hostile competition.However, privately, because the files are all in the camp, people on both sides often peek at each other's file information.The problem now is that Zhou Yang found that the letter did contain information such as hints and passwords, but he couldn't be sure.The content of this letter alone cannot be used as any evidence.At the store, things didn't go any way.It seems that everything is just that the camp is too suspicious and nervous.But another incident that happened three days ago surprised both Zhou Yang and Cui Liulang.The head of the smuggler who told the news was dead.And that foreign pickpocket, evaporated from the world, and life and death were unknown.It was as if this person had never appeared in Chang'an.Now things are weird.In the two years since the establishment of the Uzheng Battalion, there have been cases that cannot be investigated, and there have been cases of detailed confrontation with various forces and the loss of manpower, but there has never been a snake head who died in an unknown manner.People like them are the most sensitive to the wind and grass and know how to protect themselves.But now, the head of the snake belonging to Choi Rokuro is dead, and he is found dead at home.Kneeling toward the east, his head cut off.There was blood all over the room, even on the beams.This kind of tragic situation can be felt even when you read the file, and a fierce murderous aura is rushing to your face.If you want to cut off a human head, it is not something that ordinary people can do.First of all, it is necessary to have a sword that is extremely sharp and easy to chop.Secondly, the person who uses the knife must have a very clever technique, and the swing of the knife must be cut through the gap in the human neck bone to be clean and neat.Otherwise, a knife will be cut on the bone, but I am afraid that the head will not be broken, and the knife will collapse first.The blood splashed on the beam of the house at the scene shows that the other party is beheaded with a knife, and arterial blood is spurted out to have such an effect.And the head of the snake is not very clever at all, but he is not a fool, and he should not honestly kneel there and let people be beheaded.So just thinking about the situation at the scene makes people shudder and make their scalps tingle.In his own home, as if he was enchanted, he knelt facing the east, motionless, and let people stand behind him and behead him with a knife.Blood sprayed onto the roof.The hiss of the splash was like the wind blowing in the face.No skulls were seen at the scene.The killer calmly decapitated the head of the snake and then left with the head in his hands.Su Dawei closed his eyes and listened to Cui Liulang and Zhou Yang finish the case with one word at a time.In my mind, pictures are deduced along with the description."
Where is this case now?"
Su Dawei asked.This is a question to Cui Liulang and Zhou Yang at the same time."
Yingzheng, although there is no evidence now, it is obvious that the Japanese people harbor evil intentions, and they can have this kind of knife, this kind of beheading martial arts, I think that in addition to the executioners of Chang'an, there are only those warriors of the Japanese country."
Zhou Yang licked his lips and said: "I heard that they all learned swordsmanship since childhood, and when they became adults, they used prisoners to behead to verify swordsmanship, and only these people have this ability." ”Cui Liulang on the side immediately retorted: "How can you check without evidence?"
Could it be that Yingzheng went to copy the Dongying Hall?
How do you ask Your Majesty to look at the camp and our camp?
”"You ......"
"Enough, don't make any noise."
Su Dawei stretched out his hand and pressed down to stop the two from continuing to quarrel.He turned his head to the silent tall dragon and said, "Dalong, what do you think?"
”Well, this is a very familiar sentence, and it is quite emotional to say it.I finally lived out Di Renjie's row, there were subordinates on the left and right, everyone talked about the case, and I was the leader.The single eye on Gao Dalong's face flashed, and he smiled and said: "There is nothing difficult about this case itself, the difficulty is in the identity, one side is a Japanese national, and the other side is a Tang nobleman, if there is no convincing evidence, the normal investigation of the case will not be able to be investigated here." ”"Dalong, do you think that the Japanese people are secretly doing some shady things under the cover of doing business?"
Su Dawei continued to ask."
This is inevitable, the Japanese people have a lot of thoughts, they seem to be unconventional, polite, but in fact they are ambitious and hide evil intentions."
Gao Dalong continued: "I went to the scene to see it, the corpse was not cut off by an ordinary knife, and the wound of the Tang knife was not like that........." ”Gao Dalong stretched his hands to Su Dawei: "My personal guess can't be evidenced." ”Zhou Yang said on the side: "This is the difficulty of this case, the case is extremely serious, the murder method is extremely bad, we also have enough suspicions, but we can't find evidence, and now we are stuck in a bottleneck, and it is difficult to continue to investigate." ”Cui Liulang sighed: "It's really not good, I'm afraid that it will be a headless public case, and it will be succeeded by those widows again, but it's a pity that the snake head under me died in vain." ”Su Dawei listened silently, and kept deducing the case in his heart.If it was really a spying activity by the Japanese State against the Tang Dynasty, then did the Japanese people know that the Tang Dynasty was investigating them, so they killed the smuggler and the pickpocket?
No, not quite like that.There are many ways to kill people, and beheading people is too high-profile.The perpetrators were completely emboldened, or had a strong sense of revenge, which was not in line with the interests of the Japanese people.Could it be that someone from the store in Nishishi did it?
There were nobles on the Tang side who did business with the Wa Kingdom, and even exchanged information, and Su Dawei was not surprised.Before that, the Su I clan had secret contacts with the nobles of Shandong and the nobles of Guanlong, which made Li Zhi very angry.But there is no evidence......
Su Dawei suddenly raised his head and saw Gao Dalong, Cui Liulang and Gao Yang's eyes all falling on him.The three of them have different eyes, but one thing is the same, that is, they all regard Su Dawei as a lifesaver."
You guys, what kind of eyes are these?
What are you doing staring at me like this?
”"Yingzheng, you have a lot of ability, we all know that this case is very involved, it is a big case, but we can't find clues."
Zhou Yang said with a bit of deliberate flattery: "Now that you are here, there must be a way, if there is anything wrong, just say, we will do it." ”"I haven't been sent yet, and I haven't figured it out yet."
Su Dawei stood up.Cui Liulang hurriedly said: "Is the camp just going to investigate the case?"
Do you need someone for you?
”"No, you just have to do your own business."
Su Dawei gave Gao Dalong a look, and the two walked out of the public hall together.Along the road, there were servants of the Wuzheng battalion, who hurriedly saluted Su Dawei and Gao Dalong.The errand officer who had just worked in the public office was invited out when discussing the case, and now he already knows Su Dawei's identity and knows that this person is the first battalion leader.Even if it wasn't clear, he was told by some "old men" in the camp that he dared to be disrespectful to Su.Gao Dalong and Su Dawei were resolute and walked quickly.At this time, the tall dragon's legs and feet were no longer lame.Cui Liulang and Zhou Yang chased out from behind in a panic, panting like a cow and shouting: "Yingzheng, what are we going to do next?"
”"How do you need us to cooperate with the battalion in investigating the case?""
No, I don't."
Su Dawei waved his hand without looking back, and walked out of the yamen of the Japanese camp.At the door, when the two guards saw Su Dawei, they hurriedly knelt down, and before they opened their mouths to beg for mercy, Su Dawei had already walked away.For him, these people are like motes, and he doesn't care about their attitude, as long as it doesn't affect his own work.Xiao Sang was holding a knife in his arms, leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest, and when he saw Gao Dalong and Su Dawei coming out, he hurriedly greeted him."
Datuantou, Su Shuai."
Gao Dalong nodded, and turned his face to Su Dawei: "You already know the facts of the case, what should you do next?"
”"Next......"
Su Dawei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You really treat me as Brother Di Renjie, just heard that this case can be solved in less than half an hour?"
”"Didn't you try to solve the case in twelve hours before?""
Get out!"
Su Dawei rolled his eyes at him.After thinking about it, he said, "By the way, I haven't asked yet, who is the person behind the shop in the West Market?"
”"Yes......" the tall dragon quickly said a name.Su Dawei was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face immediately became extremely exciting."
It could be him......
Hehe. ”"That's why I asked Dahu to inform you quickly, how can you not catch up with this kind of excitement."
The tall dragon touched his chin, his expression a little hideous."
So...
Let's go to the West Market first. ”()
