Chapter 337 Locked

Fengri City, Xuanqing Guard Thousand Households.

Shen Hao had just returned to the office after having lunch in the dining hall, and before he sat down, he heard the porter report that Wang Jian was here.

"Let him in."

After a while, Wang Jian walked in quickly, declined the porter's offer of tea, and closed the door with his backhand, then took two steps closer and said excitedly, "My lord, we found someone!"

"Sit down and talk." Shen Hao paused while holding the tea, then smiled and pointed to the chair to tell Wang Jian not to worry.

Wang Jian was also polite, sitting on half of his buttocks, still leaning forward, with excitement in his eyes: "My lord, just last night, the people I arranged for in the imperial city responded to the message, and they saw one of the portraits. !"

The portrait was described by Wang Jian and Zhang Lie and others before, and it took three days to get it done. Then Wang Jian took several copies of these two portraits and took them to the imperial city to remember those homeless people in the imperial city who were controlled in advance. Then they deployed control outside the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

No one doubts what they see every day, let alone a tramp like an ant and a bug. Haunting around the corners and alleys all day long, it's an eyesore to watch.

But these bedbugs, found in any city, caught a big fish in the dark and under the ignorance of passing people.

"Sure?"

"Definitely! Two eyeliners saw it at the time, and they were sure to be one of the people in the portrait."

Hearing this, Shen Hao quickly took out two portraits from the drawer and spread them out on the table: "Which one do you see?"

Wang Jian pointed to the one on the right and said, "Here, this man with a mustache. It was around the beginning of the Xu Dynasty. This man got off a carriage and walked into the military department in the back alley. The person at the back door of the military department in the back alley. There was no interrogation and he was allowed to go just by looking at the waist card. It must be the familiar face in the Ministry of War.

My lord, do you think I can arrange to get this person's name from the post of the military department? "

"Don't move around. The closer you are to the big fish, the more you don't want to act rashly. The imperial city is not our territory. We can't be sure about the context. It is inevitable that we will miss it. If the news leaks, all our efforts will be wasted.

Don't move on your side, just continue to be stared at, and I will find someone else to confirm. "

Wang Jian nodded directly, but said again: "My lord, Tan Bin and the others officially left the customs yesterday. Before he left the customs yesterday, he sent back a thousand-mile note for the last time, saying that he had found a suitable guide."

"After leaving the customs, it will be beyond the communication range of the Thousand Miles Note. If all goes well, how long will it take for him to hear from him again?"

"If everything goes well, there will be no news until the end of next month."

"I hope he can bring me useful news this time."

Wang Jian talked with Shen Hao again about the assignment of powers to bureaucrats. After all, Shen Hao is in charge of the Blackwater Project, and Shen Hao still needs to nod for the transfer of powers involving important links. Wang Jian is now trying to be as tight as possible. Some of these were learned from his family's precepts and deeds, and some of them were learned from Shen Hao.

It was Shen Hao's original intention to let Zhang Liao manage the "Ministry of Impermanence". It was good for Wang Jian to figure it out. After Shen Hao gave a few words of advice, Wang Jian withdrew.

And Shen Hao left the office with two portraits. He was going to find Zhang Qian or Gan Lin. They have people from the Jingxi Army's supply camp, and they have direct contact with the two magic weapon divisions who came down from the Ministry of War to randomly check the storage bags. If they can match their appearance, then it can be said that it is a certainty.

Zhang Qian was not there, saying that he was out on business. Gan Lin was not ambiguous, took the portrait and immediately went to find someone, and asked Shen Hao to go home and wait for news.

That night, Gan Lin's news came back: It was confirmed that the two people in the portrait were the ones who went to the Jingxi Army's supply camp to take away the storage bags that day.

As soon as Shen Hao got the news, he clenched his fists excitedly. With the evidence from these two sides, he can take a big step forward in the progress of the investigation in the case file. And it can also be reported as a result.

In the same night, in his study room, he added more than 2,000 words to the tentatively titled "Ma San Smuggled Barbarian's Secret Digging Progress Report".

Early the next morning, Shen Hao went to the Fushi Yamen of Jingxi Town and waited.

Mr. Shen didn't need to wait with a sign, so Jiang Cheng called him in as soon as he was on business.

"This subordinate has seen the adults."

"Sit down, come so early, is there something urgent?"

"Yes, my lord, we have some clues about the relationship with Ma San." As Shen Hao said, he took out the copy that he had finished overnight and handed it over.

The smile on Jiang Cheng's face disappeared immediately, and his casual mood immediately became serious. He remembered that Shen Hao had reported the progress to him before, and he had asked Zhang Qian and Gan Lin to continue the investigation from within the army because of the storage bag. It's been a while since this happened, and now that it's brought up again, I'm afraid there should be a conclusion.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng started to read the case files, Shen Hao introduced from the side: "According to the information Zhang Qian and Gan Lin got from the Jingxi Army's supply camp, on November 29, two people from the Department of Magic Weapons of the Ministry of War took the warrants. Came over to spot-check the storage bags, took away all the twenty-one storage bags in the Jingxi supply camp, and returned them on the fifth day of December.

Both in terms of quantity and timing are questionable. Moreover, according to the information obtained by Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, the Ministry of War has never randomly checked the magical artifacts at the end of the year, and the returned magical artifacts have not undergone so-called "maintenance" at all.

Later, in order to confirm the real identities of these two people, I first asked people to find the Imperial City teleportation circle and copied the entry and exit records of the special passage. Indeed, two people with the magic weapon department of the Ministry of War entered and exited the Imperial City during this time. It is basically confirmed that they are the two people who went to the Jingxi Army's supply camp to transfer the storage bags.

Afterwards, a portrait was formed based on the descriptions of Zhang Lie and others on the day of the transaction, and the eyeliner who was squatting at the military department checked and arranged. Finally, the night before yesterday, it was discovered that one of the people in the portrait freely entered and exited the military department. "

Shen Hao spoke quickly, mainly to help Jiang Cheng who was reading the copybook to smooth out his logic. There are many details in it, which Jiang Cheng can see in the text. Such words and guidance will make it easier for Jiang Cheng to understand the connection between the upper and lower levels.

It took Jiang Cheng a long time to close the case, leaning on the back of the chair and rubbing between his brows.

"What do you want?"

what do i want to do

Shen Hao didn't know how to answer this question. My mind was spinning quickly, and after a moment of silence, I said: "I don't know, so I can do whatever my lord says."

Generally speaking, if there is progress, you can continue to investigate, but Jiang Cheng's reaction is obviously hesitant. Shen Hao understood what Shangfeng was hesitating about, but he didn't dare to answer Jiang Cheng's words, so he didn't plan to "choose", just do what he called, and just do his job as a subordinate. Even if Jiang Cheng chose to keep this matter in his hands in the end, he would not open it, at most he would write it down.

However, judging from Shen Hao's understanding of Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng is unlikely to let go of an obvious huge hidden danger just because of the consideration of all parties.
