"Bold!" Li Xing shouted, "The eunuch in the book is clearly based on the rumors spread by the Privy Council about Xia Fu Cheng. Do you know that attacking and slandering officials of the current government is a serious crime?"
"You know, I know, but according to Jinxia Law, this crime must be done by name, and there is no distinction between officials and ordinary people." Shopkeeper Zhang cupped his hands and said, "Master Li, I wonder if you have actually read this book. Although the prefect has poor personal ethics, he is quite capable in other aspects and is good at managing local affairs. His treatment of the Xiji woman seems to be unfair, but in fact it is because he is sincere but doesn't know what to do. The clumsy expression showed. Will the rumors in the Privy Council admit that Xia Fucheng is actually an outstanding and capable minister?"
"this… "
Li Xing was actually asked by the other party.
To be honest, he had not read the book carefully at all. After all, it was important to catch spies. After receiving the news, he immediately launched deployment. All his knowledge of the book "Flowers Blooming" came from his subordinates.
But that wasn't what surprised him the most.
The other party actually opened his mouth and talked about Jin Xialu, making all his intimidation come to nothing. As the head of the police department, Li Xing was naturally familiar with Jinxia Law, but he never expected that a bookstore owner would be so familiar with the law!
Could he be the real author of this book and a spy infiltrated by the Privy Council
No... that's unlikely.
Li Xing had already done some research before coming. Fengming Bookstore was an old store and the shopkeeper had not changed for many years. At that time, the Wang family still controlled Jinxia City, and it was impossible for the Seven Star Privy Council to predict the subsequent changes and make plans decades in advance.
"Then where did this manuscript come from?" He decided to change the question temporarily.
"Sir, I picked it up." Shopkeeper Zhang replied honestly.
"Pick it up?"
"Yes, it appeared at the gate of the courtyard at that time. I was also surprised. At first I thought someone didn't want the old book."
"Didn't you see the person who dropped it?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "I'm sorry, sir, I really don't know this."
"According to the content of the third chapter of Jinxia Law, if you do not cooperate with the police station's investigation, you can be punished as a crime of harboring. You should know it." Li Xing said coldly, "I'll answer after thinking about it!"
"Sir, I really don't know who wrote this book!"
Just as the shopkeeper was denying it, Li Xing suddenly noticed that the waiter on the other side showed a trace of worry.
"Since you won't explain, then I have no choice but to wrong you two..." He stood up and glanced at the two of them deliberately, "I originally wanted to give you a chance for mercy, but you are not precious. Bring them all back to me. Police Department, if I wait for any clues to be found, I guarantee that you won’t get the best of you!”
"This, this sir, I know who sent it!" Zhang Yuan's expression suddenly changed. He ignored the look in Uncle Zhang's eyes and said quickly.
"Oh? Say it!" Li Xing raised his eyebrows.
"It's a little girl! I don't know who she is, but I saw her back. She was walking east of Peach Blossom Street!"
Zhang Yuan originally didn't agree with the shopkeeper's approach, but now he was completely panicked when he heard that he was going to enter the Yamen.
Is the Yamen a place where I can enter casually
As long as you go in, the peeling skin will be light.
In the hands of those people, everything black can become white. If the two of them become the masterminds, wouldn't this be an unjust case that no one can verify
"What stupid things are you talking about?" Shopkeeper Zhang glared. "It is stated in Jinxia's law that you can interrogate for up to two days at the police station, and you can contact the outside at any time. Don't make nonsense in front of Mr. Li!"
"Little girl?" Li Xing frowned, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"Absolutely not," Zhang Yuan hurriedly recounted the situation at the time, "I swear, that is definitely a girl under eighteen."
"Watch them first." Li Xing ordered, and then motioned to Huang Si, "Come with me."
"Boss, what should I do?" Huang Si asked after walking outside the room, "I don't think that person is telling lies, but the characteristics are too few. It may not be easy to find a little girl in Jinxia City."
Of course, asking the alchemists of the Privy Council to take action might be able to think of a countermeasure, but no one is willing to do this.
They usually eliminate evil spirits and defeat powerful enemies of the Privy Council, which is enough to attract attention. The police department also wants to be on the headlines of Shenjin Weekly.
"Go to Fengyang Villa and ask the machine master to help us." Li Xing said slowly.
"Master of Mechanisms? Do you mean Lord Mo?"
"No, it's another big shot." Li Xing shook his head. Before Master Xia left, he had talked to him alone and said that Jinxia City was building an incredible system called "Sky Eye". The person in charge of this system is the mechanism master. If you want to check the situation at a certain point in time in the city, but can't find a good starting point, you can seek help from the other party. Mr. Xia did not reveal much about the other party's specific life experience.
When he first heard this statement, Li Xing was actually a little skeptical - as the name of the system said, this eye can see every corner of the city and record it truthfully. This was really beyond the scope of his imagination. . But considering that there were many incredible things that Mr. Xia had accomplished in the past, he decided to try it first.
"Anyway, just take my ID and seal and go to the villa. Remember, what I need is what happened at the east end of Erli Peach Blossom Street a few days ago."
Faced with such an abstract request, Huang Si couldn't figure it out at all. After taking the token, he left the bookstore with a confused look.
When he came back half an hour later, his face was full of shock.
"How's it going? Is there any result?" Li Xing asked.
"I... this... you..." Huang Si stammered for a long time, unable to answer a complete sentence. Finally, he tremblingly handed the thing in his hand to his boss and said in a trembling voice, "Boss, is this... really something that a human can do?"
Li Xing took the paper bag in confusion, tore it open and dumped the contents on the table.
The next moment, there was a roar in his heart, and he froze on the spot!
Those are "paintings".
Each painting is about half the size of an arm, and the paper is solid and strong, not looking like it is made of plant leaves.
The content of the painting is a detailed view of the city, but the perspective is from the sky looking down. The houses have turned into squares, and the streets have constructed a criss-crossing network. If that's all, that's it. He has lived for so long and has never seen such an exquisite picture! Those details are completely beyond the limits of writing. If you look carefully, you can even see the bricks and tiles on the roof, as well as the candied haws in the hands of passers-by!
Is this the Eye of Heaven
Li Xing finally knew why his subordinates reacted this way.
Even he himself couldn't say a word for a while.
Looking at every corner of the earth from the vast sky, this is the power that only gods have!
