The queen must start from the head

Chapter 145 Reinvestigating the Theft Case
In the two-story building of Wushuang faction, under the light, Mu Lian was looking through the list of stolen items in the Hou Mansion that Lu Qi had found for her.

The theft case of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has been found out by the prison department, who said that the thieves who committed the crime were a group of habitual thieves in the imperial city.

In this list of stolen items, it was recorded that the items stolen from the Hou Mansion were all gold, silver, jade and various treasures.Most of the stolen treasures were also found from the lairs of habitual thieves.

But Mu Lian has found out through the faction's information network that the group of habitual thieves are just a group of scapegoats to cover up the government's ugliness.

Under the yellowish light, she put together the list of stolen items and the list of recovered items, checked them over and over carefully, and found that one of the stolen items had not been recovered.

According to the list, it was an extremely heavy piece of dark red meteorite. The Zhenbei Hou Zushang accidentally discovered it when he went out to fight, and brought it back.

This piece of meteorite was too hard to be melted into weapons, so it was kept on the shelf.

Later, the ancestor of Zhenbei Hou passed away, and the descendants received this piece of meteorite together with other treasures in their own treasure house.

This time the treasury was stolen, and this piece of meteorite was also lost. However, it was of no use and could not be retrieved.

If it wasn't for Lu Qiu who was the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and if it wasn't for Mu Lian's ability to obtain the two lists and compare them repeatedly, I believe this piece of lost useless meteorite would soon be forgotten.

However, with Mu Lian's eyesight and experience, she really felt that the disappearance of this piece of meteorite was a bit strange.

She even had a bold guess in her mind: the entire theft case of Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the stolen jewelry were just to hide the truth from others, and the real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes was to come here for this piece of meteorite!

In this way, it can be explained why all the other lost items have been recovered, but this piece of meteorite has disappeared!

Mu Lian had to further assume that there was a black hand behind the theft of the Zhenbeihou Mansion that was manipulating all of this.

The other party not only directed the theft, but also basically returned the stolen items, except for one inconspicuous item, and only this item was what the other party really wanted.

So, who is this black hand?
To find the black hand, you have to start with the missing loot.This brings us back to the theft case again.

Mu Lian put her right arm on the desk, supported her right forehead with her right hand, and began to constantly recall the materials she had read about the theft case in the Hou Mansion.

At first, the case was handed over to the wardens.

Then Zhou Shun, the prison guard, received three reports of stolen stolen goods in a "timely" manner, and then directly led people to arrest the three families involved in the case.

As a result, the three families were proved to be framed, and one person was attacked and killed by the monster clan in prison.

In the end, Zhou Shun committed suicide at home.The warden quickly caught a group of habitual thieves and seized a large amount of stolen goods from the den of thieves.

At this point in her thinking, Mulian frowned unconsciously.

There are many problems here.

First, where did the stolen goods from those three families come from?

If it was instigated by the black fingers behind the scenes, such an obvious framing and arrest of people is obviously not in line with the purpose of the other party's covert operations.If Zhou Shun did it on his own, there would be problems with the source of the stolen goods and the approval of the arrest warrant.

Second, in the dungeon of the warden, first a demon clan appeared and attacked and killed an ordinary person; then when Yue Yin went to investigate the news, she ran into a mysterious man in black talking with the monster, causing her own in danger.

Although in Daqin's "heaven and earth", someone jumped out to take on this matter, but there is no guarantee that the other party is not deliberately protecting a certain person, and this person is very likely to be Daqin's secret agent in the prison department of Northern Qi.

The appearance of the monster clan is definitely not groundless. Before the war between Northern Qi and Daqin, the monster clan in the city was very active.

After Mu Lian thought for a while, she picked up the pen on the table, and wrote down the name of "Zhou Shun" first on the white paper under her hand.

Then, she wrote the word "Qi Han". This person is the director of the Prison Department. The three arrest warrants Zhou Shun got were all issued by this person. This person is indeed a suspect.

After the name "Qi Han", she wrote down the words "Daqin" and "Yaozu" one after another.

However, between Qi Han and Da Qin, something seemed to be missing.

She stared at the names of the four people on the paper, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she opened a volume of Beiqi official files at hand.After hastily flipping through it, the page just stopped at Bi Ying's page.

This file contains not only a portrait of Bi Ying, but also a brief introduction to his life story.

This person rose from the humble beginnings, and after the high school examination, he went straight to the sky. He was worshiped as the prime minister of a country, and now he is the prime minister of the left.However, under these records, there is another line of bright red writing: Daqin meticulous work!
Mu Lian then flipped through the file and found the page where Qi Han was.

There is not much content about this person's profile, so she read it in a few glances, and then stopped her gaze on a line of small words marked in red: Prime Minister's student.Promoted by the prime minister, he was promoted to the director of the prison department.

found it!
With a "snap", Mu Lian abruptly closed the file, picked up a pen immediately, and added the name "Bi Ying" between the words "Qi Han" and "Da Qin" on the paper.

If there was Bi Ying, the traitor that Great Qin placed in Northern Qi, as a bridge, it would not be difficult to understand why Da Qin's hand would reach into the warden.

Even the director of the prison department belongs to the other party, so what else is impossible?
However, they did everything possible to get this meteorite, what was it for?

Mu Lian's eyes couldn't help but fall on the last word "demon clan", and she vaguely smelled another hint of conspiracy.

She also couldn't see through the thoughts of the monarch Li Tianming.

Bi Ying was the work of Da Qin, so she didn't believe that the other party didn't know, not to mention that behind Li Tianming, there was that ghost-like Supreme Emperor?
Before the war between the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty, Bi Ying was "unwell" at home and did not go to court. After the war between the two countries, who would have thought that the monarch would not liquidate this person, but instead changed the system of prime ministers to the left and the right, and promoted Bi Ying again. come up.

Whether this move was to balance the court, or whether Li Tianming preferred Bi Ying to be a double agent, she did not know.

Right now, there is only one thing she has to do, and that is to seek justice for her disciples!
No matter who is behind the scenes, since the other party dares to extend his hand to her disciple, he must have the consciousness to have his hand cut off!

In the dark night, the small building is brightly lit, and the old locust tree outside the building, with its luxuriant branches and leaves, makes a soft "rustling" sound in the night wind.

At Zuo Xiang's mansion, Bi Ying's study room was also brightly lit at this time.

"Have you dealt with everything from the beginning to the end?" This was Bi Ying's voice.

"It's all been dealt with. But Master Xiang, do we really have to be so cautious? That one, who is now in a high position, will end up personally for a small disciple?"

The person who said this was the housekeeper of the prime minister's mansion and one of Bi Ying's confidantes.

Bi Ying rubbed the corners of her brows that had been tensed all day, and sighed, "Those who underestimated her, how many are still alive right now? I have to guard against it!"

"Zhen'er, Han'er, Tao'er, Yuan'er, Wen'er, have they all been sent out safely?"

Bi Ying asked again, and the butler quickly answered, "The people below have passed the news that the five young masters have been safely delivered to their destinations."

"That's good."

Bi Ying let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair behind her.

For some things that would kill someone's head, he can do it himself, and he can't hurt the children.

The housekeeper thought for a while and asked carefully, "Master, Madam, how should I tell you where the five young men are going?"

Bi Ying's relaxed brows furrowed again. He sat upright and stood up, "Madam, I'll go and talk to her in person."

"Yes, Master Xiang." The housekeeper replied.

Seeing that Bi Ying was about to go out, the housekeeper immediately carried a lantern and walked ahead to illuminate the night road for him.

In the dark night, the orange light swayed through the white lantern paper, and the candle in the cage was still burning the last inch of his body before shedding tears.
