Although Li Jie and Zhu Yunqiu left in Taijin City, there was still tension in the city. After Xie Wang took over the investigation of the case, he also began to vigorously investigate all kinds of people related to the case, especially the mysterious person who had seen the assassin on the day of the assassination, which was the focus of his investigation.

At the beginning, because the clues provided by the restaurant staff were too vague, the investigation was not smooth, but Xie Wang soon thought that maybe he could narrow the scope of the investigation.

Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu traveled in casual clothes that day. On the surface, they didn't seem to have brought a few guards, but their identities were special. Even if they went out, they needed to do some necessary preparations. These affairs also required several yamen to coordinate, such as inns and local Jinyiwei in Taijin. In other words, there were only a limited number of people who knew about Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu traveling.

It was precisely because of this that Xie Wang also began to investigate from this aspect. In fact, Li Jie had thought about checking from this aspect before, but he thought it was too troublesome because although there were not many people who knew their itinerary, they were not small. If they continued to investigate one by one, they still didn’t know when they would be found.

But now it is different. Xie Wang has another clue in his hand, that is, the mysterious man who saw the assassin on the day of the assassination. And according to his calculations, this mysterious man should be one of the people who knew Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu's whereabouts. He had no characteristics before and was very difficult to check, but now with the description of a friend, it would be much easier to check it out.

So in this case, Xie Wang also began to investigate various local yamen in Taijin, but there was also a problem. If it was a relatively low-level yamen, such as an inn or a local prefecture and county yamen, it would be fine to ask them to cooperate. At worst, Xie Wang could just use his identity as Shaoqing of Dali.

However, there are some yamen that are not under the jurisdiction of Xie Wang at all. For example, the Jinyiwei. Although the Jinyiwei was pulled out of its minions and its power fell to the bottom for a while, His Majesty had split the Jinyiwei before. Although the power of the Jinyiwei was dispersed, it also strengthened the power of the Jinyiwei in a certain aspect, which made the Jinyiwei's power expand again.

However, no matter what time the Jinyiwei was independent of the bureaucratic system of the court, no one had the right to mobilize them except the orders of His Majesty. However, Jinyiwei was the most important part of the security system of Li Jie and Zhu Yunyu. Even a considerable number of the two guards belonged to Jinyiwei, so Xie Wang had to deal with Jinyiwei.

In this case, Xie Wang could only find Qianhu, the local Jinyiwei. The Qianhu surnamed Liu, was a fat black man with a broad mind and a fat body. When he saw Xie Wang, he enthusiastically welcomed the other party to the official residence, and then asked someone to send him a hot tea to entertain him.

It was the first time that Xie Wang met such a passionate Jinyiwei, but he was not interested in drinking tea now, so he expressed his intention straight to the point. In fact, his purpose was to ask Liu Qianhu to summon all Jinyiwei who knew the itinerary of Li Jie and the other two, and then ask them one by one about their itinerary on the day Li Jie and the other two were assassinated, and compare the mysterious appearances they described with the restaurant staff.

Liu Qianhu also showed a deep look when he heard Xie Wang's request. After a moment, he spoke: "Xie Shaoqing, we have indeed received the order from our superiors to cooperate with the investigation of the Dali Temple, not to mention that this case is targeted by the emperor and the prince-consort, so we should work harder!"

Liu Qianhu paused deliberately when he said this, and then he spoke again: "But Xie Shaoqing, you also know that our Jinyiwei has special responsibilities and some things are not convenient for outsiders to know. In addition, if the brothers under him know that the court suspects them, I, as a boss, are not a human being inside and outside!"

"I also know Liu Qianhu's difficulties, but this case is a case that His Majesty has appointed to solve. Several other yamen are also investigating it. It is not aimed at your Jinyiwei. And if we can find out the case as soon as possible, Liu Qianhu will be a great achievement!" Xie Wang also advised patiently.

In fact, Xie Wang also knew that the reason why Liu Qianhu didn't want to check the Jinyiwei was mainly because he was afraid that he would really find out any problems. For example, if that mysterious man really had anything to do with the Jinyiwei, then his Qianhu would definitely be implicated.

Liu Qianhu also heard Xie Wang's words soft and hard, and even brought His Majesty the Emperor out to suppress him. Although their Jinyiwei was in power, they were actually just the emperor's private soldiers. All power came from the emperor, so they must not go against the emperor's will, let alone the case involves the royal family, and the Jinyiwei was even more responsible.

In addition, Liu Qianhu also investigated Xie Wang in advance, and knew that the Xie Shaoqing in front of him was a famous stubborn person. As long as the case he identified was determined, it would be cleared no matter what. So if he really dared to stop the other party from investigating the case, maybe Xie Wang would cause the matter to the Emperor. Then, let alone him, the entire Jinyiwei would not be able to take it.

Thinking of this, Liu Qianhu could only admit defeat and immediately showed a kind smile and said, "What Xie Shaoqing said is very true. I was confused just now. However, it is okay to investigate the Jinyiwei, but I must investigate it. But Xie Shaoqing, don't worry, as long as I investigate something, I will notify you immediately!"

Although Xie Wang did not trust this sleek Liu Qianhu, he also knew that many of the matters of the Jinyiwei were secrets, and except for His Majesty, others had no right to intervene. Therefore, what Liu Qianhu said was the truth. If you want to investigate the Jinyiwei, you can only do it yourself.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Liu Qianhu!" In the end, Xie Wang also gave in. Now several informed yamen are investigating together. If no other yamen finds out the problem, then it is certain that the problem lies with the Jinyiwei. Even if Liu Qianhu wants to shelter his subordinates, he will never agree!

Seeing Xie Wang agreeing, Liu Qianhu was relieved, and then talked with the other party enthusiastically for a few words. Finally, Xie Wang said goodbye on the grounds of busy official business.

In the next period of time, Xie Wang also focused on investigating other insiders' insiders. It can be said that all the insiders were investigated by him one by one, determined their schedule of assassination, and repeatedly made the Analects of Confucius to ensure that they did not lie. These things were cumbersome and complicated, and most people really couldn't hold on.
