Chapter 439 Anxious Su Quan

The so-called snake spirit,

It is a villain organization in the original book of Detective Di Renjie. Its purpose was to overthrow the rule of Zhou Wu.

It's just that the secret plans of this organization were all investigated by Di Pangpang, and they ended up being wiped out.

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that he would see a snake spirit-like logo again in this mixed martial arts world.

Is it a coincidence?

If it only appeared once, Lin Chen might think that it was the unique mark of a certain killer and it was purely a coincidence.

However, combined with the previous case of the sudden death of the Houjin envoy for no reason, Lin Chen smelled a hint of conspiracy in it.

You know, in the case of the Houjin Mission last time, if Nurhachi hadn't died suddenly, causing internal chaos, the two parties in Liaodong would have started fighting again.

Now looking at the mysterious death of Liu Guogong’s second son, is there some conspiracy unknown to outsiders?

A glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, but he calmly wrapped the cup of snake-shaped needles in a handkerchief and put it in his arms.

Di Pangpang was stunned when he saw Lin Chen's actions, his cheeks twitched slightly, showing a somewhat depressed look.

Unexpectedly, General Lin also had the habit of collecting suspected evidence.

When he worked on cases in the past, he liked to collect some strange things he found.

Facts have proved that these objects are often closely related to the truth of the case.

However, the person in front of him had a much higher official position than himself, so Di Renjie couldn't ask for it, so he had to give up.

Lin Chen, who didn't know what Di Pangpang was thinking, turned around and said with a smile: "From what Huaiying has seen, by whose hands did this Liu Guogong's legitimate second son die?"

"Reporting back to the general, based on my humble position, the murderer must be a master of hidden weapons." Di Renjie deduced from the evidence collected.

"oh?"

Lin Chen pretended to be curious and continued, "Although this Liu Guogong's second son has a reputation for being naughty in the capital, he has no way of provoking talented people in the world."

After all, as Liu Guogong was a noble martial artist in the capital, his status as the second son was quite extraordinary.

This kind of person is not something that ordinary people in the world can come into contact with, let alone make enemies and grudges.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen became more and more certain of a certain guess in his mind.

The snake spirit must have played a role in this, and I don’t know what this group of sneaky people want to do in this world.

With this thought flashing through his mind, Lin Chen's eyes couldn't help but fall on Di Pangpang, who was also deep in thought.

From a certain perspective, Di Renjie is the snake spirit's natural enemy.

In this case, why not let him continue to investigate the murder of Liu Guogong's second son?

Although Lin Chen, as a military commander, could not interfere with the employment of Dali Temple.

But don't forget that he still has Shangguan Wan'er, and he can also use Wan'er to let Di Renjie serve as the chief judge of this case.

Therefore, Lin Chen informed the other party of his intention to let Di Renjie investigate the case.

Di Renjie was naturally in awe, and bowed towards Lin Chen and handed over his hands: "General Xie Lin values ​​​​their humble position and will definitely investigate the case and find the murderer!"

When Lin Chen saw the other party's statement, he smiled and shook his head. He hinted to Di Renjie in a pointing tone, saying that the case might not be simple.

However, Di Pangpang disagreed.

Obviously, nothing is as important to him as investigating the case.

Lin Chen smiled faintly when he saw this, and after giving a rough explanation of the case, he left Dali Temple.

Prince's Mansion.

Li Zhao Qianlong's old palace has now become Shangguan Wan'er's office.

Many censors in the court even impeached Shangguan Wan'er, a female history official, regarding this matter.

However, all the memorials were ignored by Li Zhao, which shows his attitude.

At this time, the courtiers also came to their senses.

Shangguan Wan'er, as Li Zhao's confidant and important minister, has shown great grace, and ordinary impeachment is useless.

At this time, in the study room of the inner hall, Shangguan Wan'er, who had just bathed and changed, was dressed in a snow-white gauze, and her looming snow-like skin was even more stunning.

This beautiful scene can be appreciated by no one but the people around you.

Shangguan Wan'er turned pale and looked at the guy beside her who hadn't left her side since just now.

Seeing this, Lin Chen coughed lightly and praised: "This hairpin is like a phoenix rising from nirvana, so dazzling that it complements you Wan'er perfectly."

As the saying goes, a woman is a confidant.

The two of them, who had just finished their passionate love affair, couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness and joy in their hearts when they heard their lover's words of admiration for their appearance.

And this hairpin is naturally the Hundred Phoenix Golden Hairpin that Lin Chen just drew.

As of now, Shangguan Wan'er has not discovered its magic yet.

Of course, Lin Chen came to her this time not just for the mundane matter of physical intimacy.

He told the female high school manager all the clues about the murder of Liu Guogong's second son.

"Is this serious?"

When it came to matters of state, Shangguan Wan'er's smile faded from her pretty face and was replaced by a cold look.

If he were an idle official, he would probably be so scared that he would become silent.

Only Lin Chen dared to take the time to play with the delicate hands of the beauty next to him, and repeatedly looked at the trace of cyan blood vessels under the snow-like skin.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the guy who seemed to be very playful and withdrew his hand angrily.

Seeing that there was no plaything left, Lin Chen had no choice but to become serious:

"Has Wan'er ever heard of the name Snake Spirit?"

"Snake spirit?"

Shangguan Wan'er heard the words, considered it carefully for a moment, and then shook her head.

When Lin Chen saw this, he understood.

Judging from the current situation, Snake Spirit's identity should not be exposed yet.

"If, as you said, there is a force called Snake Spirit secretly plotting something unfavorable to Li Tang, what should we do?"

Shangguan Wan'er pondered for a moment, and then said, "Why not let the Jinyiwei you created intervene in the investigation?"

"Let Jinyiwei?"

After listening to Shangguan Wan'er's words, Lin Chen thought for a moment and did not immediately express his opinion, but turned to talk about Di Renjie of Dali Temple.

"The Dali Temple has a temple official called Di Huaiying. I intend to let him investigate this case with full authority."

After thinking about it, Lin Chen still planned to let Di Pangpang get involved.

Maybe it can make the "Snake Spirit" surface in advance.

Seeing that Lin Chen recommended this Dali Temple official named Di Huaiying, Shangguan Wan'er did not ask much, but just nodded slightly.

For her, a small Dali Temple official was not worth paying too much attention to.

However, Shangguan Wan'er still reminded Lin Chen, saying:

"Your Majesty is very concerned about this case."

This is normal, after all, the deceased and the suspected murderer are all royal relatives.

Even if Li Zhao is just doing superficial work, he has to pretend to be concerned about this matter.

"In addition..." Shangguan Wan'er suddenly changed the subject, looking at Lin Chen with deep meaning, "Several maids around the Empress Dowager have been looking for you."

"Huh?"

Lin Chen was stunned when he heard it.

He was indeed busy with official duties during this period, and he had not been to the Cining Palace since he came back.

"Maids around the Empress Dowager?"

Lin Chen thought of a few names, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It doesn't matter, it's best to continue fishing for this big fish now."

The big fish he was talking about was naturally Su Quan, the former saint of the Shenlong Sect.
