Night Watchman: Linked to the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, strongly promoting Huaiqing.

Fearing that Zhu Yang would get there first, he rushed back to review the case files.

Soon, only Li Xuan and Nangong Qianrou remained at the scene.

Nangong Qianrou turned around, looked at Li Xuan, and said softly, "Li Xuan, you have offended Zhu Yang today. Be careful in the future."

"Zhu Yang is a narrow-minded and vindictive person; he is not a kind person."

Li Xuan said nonchalantly, "It's alright, he's just a clown."

Nangong Qianrou shook her head and said, "Don't underestimate Zhu Yang's methods."

After saying that, she comforted him, "But don't worry too much, I'll take care of everything."

"If Zhu Yang dares to frame you, I'll make him regret it."

Her strength is at the late stage of the fourth rank, which is stronger than Zhu Yang's.

If Zhu Yang dares to lay a hand on Li Xuan, don't blame her for being impolite.

Li Xuan smiled but remained silent.

He looked down on Zhu Yang at all.

If Zhu Yang doesn't cause trouble, that's fine. But if he dares to cause trouble, he'll make him experience the taste of annihilation.

"All right."

Nangong Qianrou smiled and changed the subject.

"Let's examine the scene and check Sun Mingzhong's body to see if we find anything."

She stepped forward to examine the body.

As she examined the items, she frowned and said, "This is strange."

“Sun Mingzhong was killed not with swordsmanship, not even with a sword, but with a knife.”

"He threw the knife from a distance, which even Sun Mingzhong, a late-stage fifth-rank official, could not withstand and pinned him to the wall; then he used another guard's longsword to pierce through Sun Mingzhong's head and kill him."

She quickly recounted the findings of the investigation.

"This does not mean that the murderer was afraid of his swordsmanship being exposed, but rather that the murderer's strength was also formidable, comparable to that of a fourth-rank martial artist."

The long knife pinned to Sun Mingzhong's body was nothing special; it was just a guard's weapon.

There was no swordsmanship involved; it was simply a matter of brute force to kill.

The fact that the killer was able to shoot and kill Sun Mingzhong, who was at the mid-stage of the fifth rank, indicates that the killer was very powerful and possessed the physique of a martial artist at least at the late stage of the fourth rank.

Only with such a powerful physique could one easily kill Sun Mingzhong.

"Exquisite swordsmanship, and the physique of a fourth-grade martial artist!"

"We can start from these two aspects!"

Nangong Qianrou's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she found a direction for the investigation.

Li Xuan, who was standing nearby, heard all of this.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "As expected of the Golden Gong Night Watchman, he guessed almost exactly right."

Exquisite swordsmanship and a powerful martial arts physique.

Furthermore, when he killed Sun Mingzhong, he really did just throw the weapon around casually...

"Come on, let's go into the study and take a look!"

After examining the body, Nangong Qianrou spoke to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded and followed him into the study.

Upon entering the study and seeing the simple and unpretentious attire, Nangong Qianrou was slightly taken aback.

She parted her lips slightly and said, "I never imagined that Sun Mingzhong really is as honest as the rumors say."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan was stunned.

honest and upright official?

Then how come his jade mirror space is piled up with items worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?

but!

Sun Mingzhong usually presented himself as an honest and upright official.

At least in his mansion, nothing of value was found.

These are all normal items, within his salary range.

No wonder Nangong Qianrou said such a thing after seeing the simple study.

but!

Li Xuan would not allow such a corrupt official to gain such a good reputation.

His eyes flickered, and he said insincerely, "Sun Mingzhong really is an honest official."

"I saw this bottle at the market just yesterday; it's just an ordinary item worth a few hundred coins."

He stepped forward and placed his hand on a bottle.

But that's it.

He pushed the bottle without realizing it.

next moment.

Click!

The bottle spun, making a sound.

Followed by.

A sound came from a spot in the wall.

The entrance to a secret room is revealed.

"what?"

Li Xuan feigned surprise and asked, "A secret room?"

Nangong Qianrou was also stunned, her red lips slightly parted.

"There's a secret room?"

"Let's go over and have a look!"

Her starry eyes narrowed, and she quickly entered.

Li Xuan followed closely behind.

The two entered the secret room and quickly looked around.

I saw some documents and files, as well as some small items.

However, gold, silver and jewelry were not present.

"If there are no gold or silver treasures, why bother building a secret room?"

Nangong Qianrou was taken aback, somewhat confused.

She stepped forward and began to peruse some documents and files.

Its contents consist of information about high-ranking officials and their families.

However, the content was extremely detailed, no less so than the night watchman's records.

However, the watchman's records were kept in a closed system, and outsiders could not access them.

Moreover, this was obtained only after a detailed investigation.

Now, a mere third-rank official possesses detailed intelligence comparable to that of the Night Watchmen's Headquarters, causing Nangong Qianrou's expression to harden.

"Sun Mingzhong is definitely suspicious!"

She said firmly.

No one would store intelligence information about officials, dignitaries, and their families in a secret room.

Not to mention, it's in such detail.

at this time.

"A discovery!"

Li Xuan's voice rang out.

Nangong Qianrou was startled and quickly looked over.

Li Xuan walked over, carrying several account books and letters.

He said, "These were found over there in the clutter."

Actually, he secretly extracted it from his spatial storage when Nangong Qianrou wasn't paying attention.

The purpose was to have these ledgers and letters discovered and made public, so that Sun Mingzhong's character and crimes would be clearly revealed.

Of course, it was just ledgers and letters.
