The heat of summer is already here in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sun is scorching the water towns crisscrossed by large and small rivers. In the hinterland of Ganjiang Province, outside Zuohu Town, Shuntiao County, Jiulongjiang City.
In a village with about a hundred households, the police cordon has not yet been removed. A three-story building looks like a brand-new villa built by a rural farmer. The courtyard door is open, and the police seal is dangling lightly on the door.
Standing at the door, there was a police car parked outside the gate. Three or four policemen stood beside the car bored, discussing something in a low voice, and looking into the open courtyard from time to time.
Sometimes, the police would drive away villagers who wanted to get closer out of curiosity.
Inside this relatively luxurious farmhouse.
Wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt, trousers, and cloth shoes, Shi Linhuan, a master of physiognomy, held a compass and stepped on the Seven-Star Tiangang Steps, carefully examining the bits and pieces of qi that had been scattered in the aura of the five elements of heaven and earth - here, just yesterday
An extremely serious shooting occurred in the afternoon. The reason why it is said to be extremely serious is because in the eyes of many people, he was just an ordinary country villager who had made a fortune, but he was actually shot and killed by a sniper rifle from a long distance.
At the door of the building, two tough young men wearing black short-sleeved suits, black trousers, leather shoes, and sunglasses were as motionless as stone sculptures.
Shi Linhuan finally stopped and used his left hand to calculate.
After a while, he walked out with a smile on his face and said: "Thirty-three degrees northwest, 421 meters away. Yes, the police experts are not ordinary people. They have saved us investigation time."
, at least, they found the location where the sniper was hiding to launch the shooting, but...that's all."
The two young men said nothing and followed Shi Linhuan outside.
Outside.
A few police officers were just ordered to come here to assist these three people who were said to be members of the security department above in investigating the case. As for how these three people will investigate this case when they come here, God knows.
They won't ask either.
Shi Linhuan got into the silver-grey Bora sedan temporarily borrowed from the local security department, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Director Wu Jian, and said with a smile: "It can basically be locked, and the killer can't escape... Even if the killer later
He has also been silenced, but we can continue to follow the trail, so please rest assured, Director Wu."
…
Beijing.
Wu Jian put down the phone with a sneer on his face - if God wants to kill him, he must first make him crazy. The Xu family is really desperate, but they don't know that in fact, the evidence currently available is enough to bring them down, and even more
To be precise, there is no need for any clear evidence, as long as the facts are confirmed, evidence can be readily available in political struggles.
However, relying on the Xu family's power foundation and strong network of connections, they were not completely defeated and could barely retain some profits. However, one wrong step and one wrong step brought the Xu family to a desperate situation.
, actually arranged for killers to silence the casual cultivators who were willing to be their lackeys and follow instructions to spread news to the Qimen Jianghu.
Moreover, a sniper rifle was used!
This is another red line.
They stepped too far.
The Xu family, who had been in contact with the Qimen Warlocks for so long, naively believed that a sniper rifle, a master of playing with guns, and the power of the Xu family, could leave no trace and make people
Can't be traced? Yes, the police in real society may not be able to do anything about this kind of case. However, the person who was killed was a sorcerer, and the one who went to the scene of the crime to trace the case this time was a master of physiognomy.
Shi Linhuan.
run?
Can you run?
Under the current situation, it is nothing more than adding another crime to the Xu family, and when it is clear that the higher-ups want to deal with the Xu family, such things that step on the red line will not only be severely punished in accordance with the law, but will also be put on the line...
"Shi Linhuan is sure." Wu Jian tilted his head back, twisted his slightly sore neck, and said: "Lao Luo, there are some things I want to do, but there are too many aspects involved.
It's hard enough to bring down the Xu family, let alone the Lu family.
The power of the Lu family, and the Lu family was very quick to seize the opportunity. Now it has been made clear that they will push the Xu family into the fire pit so that the Lu family can escape. What I didn't expect was that the political opponents of the Lu family, the Xiao family, were actually involved in this incident.
During the incident, we stood on the same side as the Lu family."
Luo Tonghua frowned and was speechless.
The fall of the Xu family was a foregone conclusion. In the original plan, the Lu family, which had always been both prosperous and destructive with the Xu family, would also suffer the same misfortune. But who would have thought that the Lu family would push down the Xu family behind their backs, and then step on Xu's family.
The backbone of the home starts from
Climbing up from the pit? Moreover, if you want to bring down the intricate Lu family, you must have a behemoth like the Xiao family to push it. Although it is obvious that the Xiao family will definitely not be able to escape from this huge storm, but
Still
The old real power is in the hands of Yuzhou Province, and it has a deep foundation in Yuzhou Province for many years. Lu Junhe, the Lu family who is currently the pillar of the Lu family, has been an official in Yuzhou Province for two years and is gradually gaining real power.
, seriously threatened the power and interests of the Xiao family in Yuzhou Province, so as long as there was an opportunity, the Xiao family would definitely knock him down without hesitation. Who would have thought that the Xiao family suddenly chose to shake hands with the Lu family this time and make peace.
Without the support of the Xiao family, how can we bring down the Lu family?
Although this situation was unexpected, with hindsight, Luo Tonghua and Wu Jian were able to figure out the reason - the Xiao family was in doom, and if they wanted to preserve the interests of the Xiao family as much as possible, they could only negotiate peace with the Lu family
, both parties compromise with each other, and no one tries to embarrass the other party.
, concealing the evidence that each of them had colluded with the Qimen charlatans and was mastered by the other party... If they don't fight anymore, other forces will definitely not act rashly. After all, no one dares to face the counterattack of the two major families at the same time before the truth comes out.
Are you getting yourself involved too?
After waiting for a while, Luo Tonghua didn't speak. Wu Jian couldn't help but said: "Lao Luo, you should express your position. What should we do next?"
"This depends on Director Wu and the higher-ups, what do you want to do?" Luo Tonghua said with a smile.
"Of course I want to..." Wu Jian shook his head helplessly and said: "The Xu family, the Lu family, and the Xiao family should all be overthrown. What I mean above is to get as much evidence and clues as possible, otherwise
It would be difficult to deal with it. The two families are like trees with deep and intertwined roots. A single move can affect the whole body, alas."
Luo Tonghua said: "The Lu family and the Xiao family are just compromising and supporting each other out of temporary helplessness. No one will report the other, and they will work together to promote the Xu family's affairs and end this crisis as soon as possible, even if the Lu family will inevitably have to pay a certain amount for this."
At a price, they can at least avoid the disaster of complete collapse. As for the Xiao family, they are very aware of the impending disaster, but they still have to consider preserving some of their interests so that they can have a chance to make a comeback in the future."
After a pause, Luo Tonghua continued: "Maybe we can change our thinking on this matter."
"How do you say that?" Wu Jian frowned.
"The Xiao family will be defeated this time no matter what, and they are just fighting for how much benefit they can retain. Therefore, as long as they are not pursued excessively, and the benefits that can be saved are equivalent in the end... Director Wu, what do you think of the Xiao family?"
Will they still help their political opponents, the Lu family?" Luo Tonghua asked with a smile.
Wu Jian thought for a while and said: "Do you think it's appropriate to do this? Among the three major families this time, the Xiao family has the deepest connection with the Qimen charlatan sorcerers, but you want to let them go?"
"Director Wu." Luo Tonghua said seriously: "The relationship between the Xiao family and the Qimen Jianghu Warlocks is indeed the most numerous and the longest. Not to mention the distance, Shi Linhuan has been by Xiao Zhen's side for many years and has also helped
For example, Xiao Jingjing, Xiao Yuanshan and others changed Feng Shui to increase their fortune. Shi Linhuan told us frankly that the Xiao family could not make a comeback in this regard, and Su Chunfeng also had a close relationship with Xiao Zhen.
Qian... However, the Xiao family has never directly used warlock magic to participate in political struggles, let alone used warlock magic to harm others. From this point of view, the taboos committed by the Xiao family are really not deep enough.
.The Xu family is different. Director Wu, you also know that according to our investigation, the Xu family has mainly been running their officialdom and business power in the south in recent years. Although there is no relationship between the Xu family's politicians and the warlocks.
However, they used tacit approval to support Xu Zhifeng, the main figure of the descendants of the Xu family, and used magicians to intimidate and punish dissidents of the Xu family in the political arena. During the struggle in the shopping mall, they even committed several incidents of magic causing disaster. Fortunately,
They failed to connect with the more powerful warlocks or even the sect, otherwise with the audacity of the Xu family, I really can’t imagine what they would do. Speaking of the Lu family, since a few years ago
After failing to use warlocks to persecute Xiao Quan Quan, they were shocked by Xiao Quan Quan's voluntary resignation and had to make huge concessions. After losing everything, the Lu family has been cautious in this regard. At least on the surface,
I have never had any contact with any warlocks, but... I believe that since they used the warlocks' spells in the first place, they will definitely use them again, but they will do so more covertly."
Wu Jian smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that they did it covertly, so there's nothing we can do about it."
"The Lu family instructed the head of the Shiyin Sect that the time they harmed Xiao Quanquan can be used as evidence, as long as the Xiao family is willing to stand up and accuse them."
"This is not enough." Wu Jian said lightly: "It has been so long, and the Lu family has no need to admit it."
"Director Wu, as well as the Qu family and Qiao family of Shanxi Province, they use sorcerers a lot. We can open a breakthrough from them." Luo Tonghua reminded.
"The Qu family and the Qiao family are directly related to the Xu family. The Lu family has no contact with them."
Luo Tonghua shook his head and said: "The Lu family was the first to instruct the master of the Shiyin Sect to harm Xiao Quanquan, which shows that the Lu family and the Shiyin Sect must have a close connection. Although the connection seemed to be broken after that incident, the Qu of Shanxi Province
The daughter of the family, Qu Feiyan, is a sorcerer who studied under the Shiyin Sect and has a high status in the Shiyin Sect. From this, I judge that there is definitely a connection between the Lu family and the Qu family, but their connection is very secret.
That’s all.”
"This is not enough, it is just a guess."
"Yes, but..." Luo Tonghua smiled slightly and said: "Assuming that Su Chunfeng can really reach an agreement with Ellman Douglas, the patriarch of the Douglas family in the United States, in Zhonghai City this time, Ellman Douglas is willing to admit
Their behavior is closely related to Qu Hong's daughter Qu Feiyan, and they are protected by the Lu family in China, so this should be enough, right?"
Wu Jian was slightly stunned and said: "Su Chunfeng, can the matter be settled? Even if it is settled, Ellman Douglas will not necessarily identify these things? Besides, Ellman Douglas
There may not necessarily be a direct connection between Douglas and the Lu family.
However, the Lu family is very cautious in doing things. Even if the Xu family finally knew that they were betrayed by the Lu family, it would be difficult to come up with strong evidence to impeach the Lu family. Otherwise, the Lu family would not be so blatant.
Push the Xu family into the fire pit and step on them."
"So now we have to wait for news about Su Chunfeng." Luo Tonghua said: "As long as he can make Ellman Douglas turn against Qu Feiyan, the Xu family, and even the Lu family, then we will have a chance."
After Wu Jian frowned and thought seriously, he stood up with a serious expression and said, "If Su Chunfeng succeeds in this matter, I will give him a big credit!"
Luo Tonghua smiled and said: "He is not from our unit."
"Well, Lao Luo, you go to Zhonghai City in person." Wu Jian waved his hand and said: "You and Ellman Douglas are old acquaintances. Since Su Chunfeng and Ellman didn't break up last night, don't care about them.
The outcome of the conversation at least shows that there is still reconciliation.
If there is really no room for it, use strong means to force Ellman Douglas to obey! Now China, the Lu family, and the Xu family can't protect them! Don't worry about what the international magic circle thinks about the Qimen Jianghu.
Yes, if you break it, try it again!"
"I think it's better to wait for Su Chunfeng's call first." Luo Tonghua said with a smile: "If you are really worried, then I will leave for Zhonghai City now."
"Well, go ahead, just in case. If there is an issue that requires a decision, Liu Xueshu is too young and I'm afraid he won't be able to control it." Wu Jian sighed, shook his head and said, "I have to give Su Chunfeng a shot myself.
Call him and tell him that if this kid really has reached a settlement with Ellman Douglas, if he asks him to put forward any conditions to the other party, it will inevitably make the other party think that he is going too far..."
Luo Tonghua had already stood up and said with a smile: "Director Wu, in my opinion, you don't need to remind you about this matter. If it is possible to negotiate a settlement, Su Chunfeng will definitely think of it."
"Um?"
"This boy must retaliate, and the city is very deep. The fall of the Xu family alone may not be enough to satisfy him..."
"Always remind him that his rights are an extra layer of insurance."
"This kid is a donkey. It's best not to tell him and let him handle it on his own. We just believe him." Luo Tonghua said with a smile: "If we point our fingers here, he will be resistant. God knows this kid will become stubborn.
No matter what happens if you force yourself to do something, it’s better to just let nature take its course.”
"This..." Wu Jian hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait another day."

PS: I still have to go out tomorrow. Alas, I’ll try to code out another chapter tonight. Don’t wait, I’ll watch it tomorrow~
