Chapter 1332 Something happened, a crisis approaching the Criminal Investigation Department
Jin An pondered: "The content of the note is limited, and I don't know the specific list yet."
"In this way..." Fatty Li nodded.
Jin An: "Tubo originally had five major families, including the Tianshen Clan, the Descendants of the Monkey God, the Chou Sheng Clan, the Black Stone Clan, the Golden Family, and the Terrible Clan. This year, only the Celestial Clan, the Descendants of the Monkey God, the Golden Family, and the Mila Family are left.
"
"Mira means terrible in Tubo, and the Mira family is a terrible family. This family is the most mysterious and powerful hidden family in the snowy plateau. It is a tantric family that has been hiding in the depths of the snowy mountains."
Jin An frowned and continued: "The Mila family has lived in seclusion for generations in the Zhumu Langma Snow Mountain, which in Tibetan means the goddess Snow Country, the Mother of the Earth. There is the largest and most majestic mountain in the snowy plateau.
Xuefeng, the Mila family rarely travels around Tubo, and there is no record of leaving Tubo. This time the four major families suddenly left Tubo and entered Kangding country together, which is of great significance..."
"What do you mean, Commander?" Several deputy commanders looked at him in surprise.
The Thousand Hearts Tribulation made Jin'an's thinking active: "This time Tubo sent four major family envoys, it is very likely that it is related to Kangding's initiative to go to war with the Steppe Khanate. First, it wanted to test the specific trends of the court, and second, it wanted to continue to communicate with the court.
Maintain harmonious diplomatic relations... and maybe the third point is to discuss the four phenomena of breaking up the sky and the earth. There are more and more extreme weathers this year, so even the hermit tantric families have come down the mountain together."
Fatty Li blinked at Jin An: "Taoist Master Jin An, don't talk about the fourth point. You may also want to take this opportunity to catch up with old friends. I heard that, Taoist Jin An, you are also the savior of the current matriarch of the Golden Family?"
oh?
Several people present started to cheer, which relieved the overly serious atmosphere in the study.
Jin An glanced at Fatty Li speechlessly. He did not pick up the topic, but continued: "When the two countries start a war, small countries may be affected. If Tibet sends envoys to Beijing to test, the small countries in the Western Regions will also send envoys.
Entering Beijing, Deputy Commander Cai asks you to ask the intelligence personnel in Yangguan to pay more attention to the movements of the countries in the Western Regions."
Deputy Commander Cai nodded and accepted the order.
Jin An continued to issue orders: "Now is the time to launch military operations. With so many envoys from various countries arriving, the security burden in the capital will be increased. Starting today, all brothers' vacations will be ended and the security of the capital will be stepped up."
Several people clasped their fists and sang.
"As for which border fortress the war between the two countries will start from this time, if it were me, it would have to be delayed at least until after the second heavy snow. The heavy snow froze to death and starved to death of a large number of cattle and sheep in the rear. The Steppe Khanate was more anxious than us.
When a war begins, people tend to lose their minds when they are angry and impatient. Those horseback warriors who come and go like the wind are prone to making mistakes as long as they dare to launch a siege."
"and……"
Jin An traced his finger on the map, from Xizhou Mansion, to Yangguan, and then to the Western Region, a vast territory with small countries scattered like an astrolabe.
Jin'an left Yangguan in the west last year and followed the merchants from the Western Regions along the Desert Silk Road. The route he paddled happened to be the Desert Silk Road route.
"And what?" Everyone's eyes followed Jin An's fingers curiously as they moved on the map.
"Fat Li, do you still remember our previous analysis? If the imperial court had secretly communicated with the Rakshasa Kingdom's secret envoys a few years ago and conspired with the Grassland Khanate, perhaps the layout of this big chess game was earlier than we thought.
…”
"All the people of the Steppe Khanate are soldiers. Men, women and children are all warriors on horseback. They are good at riding and shooting. They come and go like the wind, and they have no fixed place. The reason why several powerful dynasties in history went to the grassland and returned without success is
Because it is impossible to effectively encircle and annihilate these grassland nomads. How many warriors have been slaughtered this year, as long as they are allowed to recuperate for a few years, more warriors who are good at riding and shooting can be formed, and they will continue to resurrect."
"The imperial court has a huge conspiracy to communicate with the secret envoys of the Rakshasa Kingdom. I must have known the historical reasons for this long ago. If I were in charge of the military affairs, I would break the elite soldiers and horses into pieces, disguise themselves as merchants from the Western Regions, and go out along the Silk Road.
Yangguan, into the desert, and then quietly assembled and trained them in the vast desert as vast as the sea, treating them as a strange force. During this period, this strange force has been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the elite cavalry of the Steppe Khanate to be attracted to the front line
At that time, this strange force will make a surprise attack from the border of the Northern Desert and rush into the rear of the grassland! One battle will determine the outcome!"
Jin'an's fingers quickly moved from the vicinity of the Northern Desert to the grassland, and finally focused on the hinterland of the grassland.
Everyone present was shocked by Jin An's bold idea. They immediately studied the map nervously. The more they looked at it, the more surprised they became. They actually felt that Jin An's crazy idea, which was like a wild horse, was at least 50% possible.
The success of this plan may be very high. In terms of military strategy, if there is a 50% chance, it is enough to take the risk. Once successful, it will be a great achievement worthy of being recorded in history.
The biggest variable in this wild plan is whether they can wait for the opportunity for a surprise attack as expected. If someone told them about this crazy plan before winter, they would only think that person was a madman with serious assumptions, but today, they feel that there is
50% chance of success.
Because the original biggest variable has been eliminated, the opportunity that Kangding and Rakshasa have been plotting for many years has finally arrived.
"I didn't expect that the Commander-in-Chief is not only knowledgeable in martial arts, but he is also familiar with military books and good at using military tactics." Several deputy commanders were convinced by Jin An.
Limited to the cost of papermaking and printing, the cost of reading has been very high throughout the dynasties, and folk military books are almost invisible.
Several people thought that their new commander must be familiar with military books. Only in this way can they explain why the new commander knew so many tricks of the art of trickery.
The more they pondered the map, the more they felt that the commander's plan was very feasible, and they were even more shocked.
"Are there any new trends among the merchants in Rakshasa Kingdom these days?" Jin An asked.
"These Rakshasa merchants have a special status and are involved in court matters. We dare not send people to keep an eye on them too closely. On the surface, they still live the same life as before, doing business in the West Market of the capital as merchants. At present,
No unusual behavior was found." Deputy Commander Yu replied.
Jin An nodded: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on the Rakshasa caravan. You don't have to interact with them at ordinary times. If there is anything unusual, please contact me immediately."
Next, Jin An took out the drawings of the capital city and laid out the next security tasks in detail. After the conspiracy meeting of the top officials of the Criminal Investigation Department ended, he asked a few people to start preparations to tighten security immediately after returning.
In the next few days, the capital has been calm. According to the three brothers Zhang Weishan, who is a gangster, the capital has been so safe recently that there has not been a major case that requires the help of the three brothers to solve the case. It is rare for them to have some leisure time. They work in the Criminal Investigation Department every day.
I concentrated on studying "Record of Collecting Corpses".
Jin'an has been paying attention to the movements of the Tianshi Mansion and the Imperial Master's Mansion, and even these two sides are surprisingly calm. On the day when the Imperial Master's body was lost, Old King Ling boasted to Haikou that he would personally help the Imperial Master's Mansion to retrieve the Imperial Master's body.
As a result, there was no movement for more than half a month.
Jin An guessed that the Tianshi Mansion had encountered obstacles in the ancient country and had not made much progress, so the Tianshi Mansion and the Guoshi Mansion had been quiet for more than half a month.
However, this just confirmed Jin An's earlier conjecture that the mystery of this ancient country is very involved and cannot be solved by the Tianshi Mansion family.
…
…
Since the last time he encountered evil spirits at the Widow's Manor and witnessed the power of the exorcism talisman, as soon as Shi Youde returned to the capital, he immediately went to Wu Zang Taoist Temple to burn incense and ask for a new exorcism talisman.
Since that day, this exorcism charm has never left my body. Even when I take off the exorcism charm temporarily while taking a bath, I have to put it next to the bathtub, within easy reach.
In addition to taking a bath, eating, drinking and sleeping without leaving the body.
Not just him, almost everyone in the Criminal Investigation Department is like this.
Shi Youde was not on duty today. After work, he made an appointment with a few friends and went to a tavern. After a full meal, his body became hotter and hotter as he drank, his pores sweated slightly, and then he left the table satisfied.
The criminal inspectors were all martial arts practitioners, and the amount of alcohol they drank was not enough to make them drunk. Before leaving the tavern, Shi Youde borrowed a food box from the boss and brought a roast goose home for the children.
Shi Youde is very satisfied with his current life. He has a virtuous wife at home and a son and a daughter. Moreover, the new commander of the Criminal Investigation Department has given everyone hope for the future. He is very satisfied with every day now and cherishes every day.
All are full of expectations.
Being satisfied with your family and career is the greatest pursuit in life.
When I walked out of the tavern, it was completely dark outside.
Wearing an official robe, holding a saber in one hand and a food box in the other, Shi Youde was walking in the bustling streets of the capital city, sniffing the mutton overflowing in the city, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
He thought that it had been more than ten days since the all-mutton feast half a month ago, when the new commander and Daochang Chen moved to the Criminal Investigation Division...
"Catch the thief, catch the thief, that's life-saving money for me to buy medicine for my dad!"
"Sir, help the girl catch the thief in front of you!"
Suddenly, a woman's cry for help reached Shi Youde's ears, and he saw a hurried man running past him and ducking into an alley.
Just when he was feeling promising about his current job, a small thief committed a crime under his nose. Shi Youde was furious and chased him into the alley without thinking.
"Good boy, if you dare to commit a crime under the eyes of the Criminal Investigation Department, I think you have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard!"
"Boy, I'm yelling at you, why don't you throw away the girl's life-saving money!"
Shi Youde cursed angrily and chased him into the alley.
The thief was very familiar with the alley. The environment in the alley was complicated and the thief was familiar with the many twists and turns. However, Shi Youde was not weak in his Qinggong skills and kept pursuing him without losing track.
After chasing for a while, Shi Youde began to pant, but he never caught up with the thief.
Shi Youde was surprised and gradually became suspicious. How could a person with such good skills be so depressed that he would steal money on the street?
Shi Youde thought something was wrong. At this time, he had gone deep into the alley. He was surrounded by high courtyard walls. The space was narrow and dark. The air exuded an indescribable turbid stench, like the stench of a stinking ditch.
There is the stench of rotten food residues, the smell of rotten eggs like the rotting corpses of dead mice... Coupled with the turbid air in the deep alleys, more than a dozen kinds of stench eventually mix into a complex stench that makes people feel chest tight, short of breath, and difficult to breathe.
Shi Youde sensed something was wrong and wanted to exit the alley first. Just as he turned around, he accidentally knocked down a woman carrying a bamboo basket.
After the woman fell to the ground, the apples in the bamboo basket rolled to the ground.
Shi Youde was startled. The sight in the alley was too dark. He didn't notice that there was another person behind him. When he saw that the woman was knocked down by him and the fruit rolled to the ground, he hurried to help the woman up and kept saying:
Say an apology.
Only then did Shi Youde notice that the other party was unkempt, his clothes were tattered, and he looked a little crazy and mentally disturbed.
"Child, child, my child..."
"My child..."
The woman kept groping with her hands on the ground and murmuring anxiously.
The expression on Shi Youde's face tightened. Was the woman still holding a child in her arms? He couldn't think about it and nervously helped the woman search for the child on the ground.
"How old is your child? Is it an infant or a toddler? Did you see which direction the child fell?"
"This is an apple, not your child."
"This is still an apple."
…
Shi Youde picked up apples one by one and put them into the bamboo basket. He touched something again in the dark. This time it was finally no longer an apple. When he held it up, he saw that it was a dirty rag doll.
, the rag doll's needlework was torn and its belly was disemboweled, revealing many pieces of children's rags inside.
"My child!"
Snap, a cold and temperatureless palm suddenly grabbed the wrist of Shi Youde's hand holding the doll.
So cold!
Shi Youde felt as if he was caught by a piece of ice, and there was a sharp pain in his wrist, as if he had been stabbed by thousands of ice needles.
Chi!
The exorcism charm that Shi Youde wore with him suddenly ignited without fire, and his pupils shrank sharply.
Shi Youde wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that the woman was very strong, and her wrist was tightly grasped as if in a vise. The more he struggled, the colder and stinging pain in his wrist became more severe.
Shi Youde didn't know where he got the strength, so he took off the exorcism charm from his body and placed it heavily on the woman's forehead. His wrists successfully broke free from the opponent's grasp and he ran out of the alley without looking back.
He looked down at his wrist and found a large area of black and purple bruises. The pain made his face turn pale and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Bang!
When he lowered his head to check his wrist, he bumped into another person in the darkness. It turned out to be the crazy woman behind him who appeared in front of him.
Shi Youde felt his heart beat heavily. At this moment, it was as if someone had hit his chest hard with a hammer. His breathing was stagnant and he took a few steps back.
"you!"
The woman's eyes were red and she stared at Shi Youde crazily: "Child, my child..."
Before Shi Youde could run a few steps, he bumped into another person in the darkness.
"Child, my child..."
…
…
The next day.
The Criminal Investigation Department is as busy as ever. In order to welcome the envoys from various countries, everyone is busy maintaining law and order in the capital.
As it was approaching noon, Fatty Li asked everyone he met in the Criminal Investigation Department if they had seen Shi Youde and whether he was on duty today. Everyone who was asked shook their heads and said they had not seen it.
