Chapter 264
"Sir, this, this is..."
Wang Qinian, who was standing beside him, stared with his eyes wide open and didn't finish his words.
'Sizzle.'
Xu Shan tore off the portrait and placed it over his own face. He sneered and compared it, saying, "What a resemblance!"
"If I don't tear your head off, I'll be unworthy of your intertwined calculations."
End of the street!
The sudden closure of the street by the Jinyiwei and the constables made the onlookers panic.
"Why don't you let us leave?"
"Let us out."
"Yes, we are students taking the Spring Examination this year."
No matter how these people screamed, the people in charge of the blockade did not let them go!
At this moment, outside the blockade, a hunchbacked beggar who was staggering forward stopped and turned to look back in the direction of the tailor shop.
He grinned, revealing his yellow and black teeth.
"Master Xu, you really amaze this shaman!"
"You know so much about the art of magic... You'll continue investigating this case, won't you?"
"I'll wait for you in the next session, don't let me down."
"Hehehe!"
After turning around with a sneer, he disappeared into the crowd in tattered clothes!
When he reappeared, he was already on the other side of the Qinhuai River...
……
"Sir, the clue is broken?"
Wang Qinian, who followed Xu Shan out of the tailor shop, asked cautiously.
"The clues to the evildoer are broken."
“But the decline has not.”
"Ok?"
"The art of descending evil spirits consists of two steps: descending evil spirits and inducing evil spirits."
"The five of them were attacked at the same time. That's why they were collectively cursed!"
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Wang Qinian suddenly realized, "Yes! The five of them were summoned by Hongxiu's courtesan last night to the Qinhuai River to recite poems and write couplets."
'Clap. '
Hearing this, Xu Shan stopped and looked towards the Qinhuai River.
With a slight smile on his lips, he muttered, "You are so confident, you must be waiting for me to fall into your trap!"
"In the capital, I won't allow anyone to be more arrogant than me!"
"Let someone remove the blockade!"
"If he could leave calmly under the noses of Deputy Magistrate Xing and Chief Constable Jin, he must also be able to leave the blockade area quietly."
Xu Shan came out of the tailor shop and gave the order directly.
Hearing this, Qinglong, who was discussing something with Jin Jiuling, came over and asked, "Any clues?"
Xu Shan didn't answer him directly, but said softly, "Xing Tongzhi, after investigating the case to this point, does it really matter who the real murderer is?"
"Hmm? Go on."
"From what I know, a wizard who can cast the [Red Flame Golden Scar] and possess the [Spell of Cursing] must have a high status in the Witchcraft Cult, right?"
"I just discussed this with Chief Constable Jin. He must be a high-level shaman!"
"The person who can command this shaman to kill people in the capital must be of a prominent status, right?"
After Xu Shan finished speaking, Jin Jiuling, who was listening, also nodded heavily.
The previous infanticide case had already proven that the former crown prince's old party and the remnants of the Witchcraft Cult were still stirring up trouble in secret.
Now there is a higher level shaman...
All the accusations were directed at Baique Temple!
"The attitude of His Majesty and the Cabinet will determine whether this case can be thoroughly investigated."
Qinglong, who had already heard the hidden meaning in Xu Shan's words, was silent for a moment and said, "You continue to investigate."
"Chief Constable Jin and I will go to the palace."
After Qinglong and Jin Jiuling left, Wang Qinian approached Xu Shan and said, "Sir, the man behind Hongxiu Zhao is the Marquis of Anping."
"His family is allied with the Xu family of the Northern Marquis. Recently, he has been following the Donglin Party in submitting petitions to impeach the Supervisory Office."
"If they weren't accompanied by Deputy Magistrate Xing and Chief Constable Jin, they might not cooperate."
After all, the fact that the five scholars were demoted by Hongxiuzhao was just their speculation from beginning to end, and there was no actual evidence.
Being investigated so openly, they can only make excuses!
“Everything has two sides!”
"What you see is a lack of cooperation, but what I see is that they are no longer tied up."
"There are people from Hongxiuzhao who must be involved in this case."
"what?"
After Xu Shan finished speaking these words with such confidence, Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "I understand!"
"In the Hanging Temple case, there are many ghost egg shells and witchcraft tools left behind."
