Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 225 People from Japan

"Xingzi, why are you here?" Lu Jitong frowned slightly, looking at the figure in surprise.

"Come with me, let's talk after leaving here!" The figure whispered while holding Lu Jitong's arm.

"This is not where you should come, you leave quickly!" Lu Jitong said in a stern voice.

Kang Xu listened to the conversation between the two, but he didn't expect that figure to be a woman.

"Lu Jitong, you still say that you are not the murderer? I didn't expect you to have a helper, and this time it happened to catch them all. Let's see how you can argue!" Tao Ruozhu was furious, pointing at him and yelling.

Kang Xu was not as angry as Tao Ruozhu, he stared at the masked woman with frowning, and said in a low voice, "People from Dongying!"

Although his words were soft, Lu Jitong and the woman heard them clearly, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Lu Jitong glanced at Kang Xu in surprise. He was about to speak when he was grabbed by the woman beside him. He waved a few smoke bombs and left.

"Chase! Go and chase!"

Tao Ruozhu waved his sleeves, and shouted loudly to avoid the smoke in front of him.

Seeing this, the yamen servants rushed out of the yamen, and followed Tao Ruozhu to catch up.

Kang Xu sat in the Nuan Pavilion with an extremely serious expression on his face.

Both Lu Jitong and the Dongying woman are extremely skilled in martial arts, it is impossible to catch up with these government servants alone, let alone arrest them.

However, this also illustrates a problem. Even if Lu Jitong is not the murderer, he is also inextricably linked to the case.

Kang Xu supported his chin with one hand, tapped the table with the other, and fell into deep thought.

The complexity of this case is far beyond his imagination, the murderer is specious, and the mystery is so deep that it seems to be trapped in a thick fog, which makes people puzzled.

After about half an hour, Tao Ruozhu returned to the yamen with a group of yamen servants angrily.

"Did you catch them?" Kang Xu asked.

Tao Ruozhu said dejectedly: "We searched most of Zhengyang City, but we couldn't find Lu Jitong. Since these two escaped from the county government, it seems that they disappeared out of thin air."

After a pause, he looked at Kang Xu and asked doubtfully, "My lord doesn't seem to be in a hurry about this matter?"

"What's there to worry about? If I catch him once, I will naturally catch him a second time." Kang Xu said confidently.

Tao Ruozhu sighed angrily, and said, "Damn it, I didn't expect Lu Jitong to be such a beast! I was so blind that I would become best friends with him! My lord, you must catch this man, and I will kill him with my own hands." Kill him and avenge my little sister!"

"Since you and Lu Jitong are close friends, how is he?" Kang Xu asked.

"It can be said that Lu Jitong and I have known each other since we were young. He had a good reputation in the past. If this incident hadn't happened, I would never have imagined that he is a beast with a human face and a heart!" Tao Ruozhu cursed bitterly.

Kang Xu nodded, and then he fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Xiao Wu ran in with a hurried expression.

"My lord, it's bad, the evidence is gone!"

Kang Xu stood up abruptly, frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Xiao Wu panted and said: "When we rushed to Hetou Village, the room where Liu Tie lived suddenly caught fire, and the whole house was burned to ashes!"

"How could this be?" Kang Xu frowned, and immediately sensed that something was wrong. He said in a deep voice, "Just as Liu Tiezang was found to have evidence, the evidence was destroyed. Someone must have set the fire on purpose. Xiao Wu, you Has anyone found the person who set the fire?"

Xiao Wu also nodded heavily and said: "I also think so, what happened at this time is too coincidental. When we arrived, the fire had already started, and the person who set the fire was not found."

"Where is Chang Feng now?" Kang Xu frowned.

"There was hay piled up near the house where Liu Tie lived. The fire ignited all the hay, and the fire spread to the whole village. Chang Feng is leading the villagers to fight the fire."

"Are there any villagers injured or injured?"

"No villagers were injured. When I came, Big Brother Chang had already suppressed the fire. Presumably, the fire should have been completely extinguished by now. However, the evidence is gone." Xiao Wu sighed.

"It's okay, as long as there are no casualties, the evidence can be found." Kang Xu patted Xiao Wu's shoulder and comforted him.

"How can you convict Lu Jitong without evidence? Hey, where is Lu Jitong?" Xiao Wu looked at Tao Ruozhu, who was full of depression, and asked in surprise.

Kang Xu told him what had happened, and Xiao Wu murmured after listening, "So, does Lu Jitong still have an accomplice?"

"Besides that, there is one more thing. We have been investigating Dongying people to no avail recently, but today we have a clue that the person who came to rescue Lu Jitong is Dongying woman." Kang Xu said in a deep voice.

"People from Dongying?" Xiao Wu was startled, and he suddenly said: "So, as long as you catch this person, your lord will be saved?"

Kang Xu nodded, and pondered: "Get Chang Feng back quickly, and search the whole city with all your strength, and you must find out where the Dongying people are hiding."

Xiao Wu nodded yes, he thought for a while, and said: "Lv Jitong fled, what should we do with this case?"

"This case is complicated and confusing, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I will continue to investigate. Your task now is to find out the whereabouts of these Dongpu people as soon as possible." Kang Xu said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Wu didn't have any doubts, he nodded, then left the county office, and hurried to Hetou Village.

Tao Ruozhu was at a loss to understand the conversation between the two of them. He asked suspiciously: "My lord, since it is confirmed that the murderer is Lu Jitong, why don't you issue a wanted arrest warrant and bring him to justice?"

Kang Xu glanced at him, and said deeply: "There are still many doubts in this case. After I find out the truth, it will not be too late to release the arrest document."

"Suspicion? Didn't your lord already confirm that he is the murderer? Are there any doubts that have not been clarified?" Tao Ruozhu didn't know much about the case, and said with resentment on his face.

Kang Xu didn't speak, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

There are more and more suspicious points in this case, which also makes Kang Xu doubt his previous judgment.

"It seems that if we want to find out the truth, we need to start from the beginning." Kang Xu narrowed his eyes, went through everything in his mind, and gradually determined the direction of investigation.

In the guest room of a restaurant in the city, Lu Jitong stared at the person in front of him with an ugly face, and said displeasedly, "Xingzi, who told you to trespass on the yamen?"

There was a woman standing in front of him, this woman had peach cheeks and almond eyes, as delicate and beautiful as a flower, standing there quietly like an independent lotus flower.

Seeing this, the servant next to him hurriedly said, "My lord, don't blame Miss Xingzi, I told her that you were taken away."

Lu Jitong stared coldly, interrupted the servant in a cold voice, and shouted: "And you, have you forgotten all the things I said on weekdays? Gentlemen are magnanimous, and villains are always close. I have neither done those things, nor Why are you afraid of others to investigate?"
