The surprise on Jin Yichuan's face was not fake.

He really wanted to know how his second brother came to the conclusion that Wei Zhongxian directed and acted in the drama himself.

Shen Lian sighed and said, "It's very simple. If a person wants to disappear from this world, the best way is of course to fake his death."

Jin Yichuan asked in confusion, "Fake death? But there is no body of Wei Zhongxian here, and nothing to prove his identity. No one would believe that he died without knowing where he was."

That is indeed the truth...

Shen Lian pondered for a moment, and suddenly turned his gaze to the tire tracks on the ground.

Lu Jianxing followed his gaze towards the ground and suddenly understood what he meant.

If Wei Zhongxian really directed and acted in this robbery and murder himself, then the death scene he faked was most likely not here. Instead, according to normal logic, he fled for a distance and then was caught up and killed.

This is consistent with other people's perception of him.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. It is impossible for a man like Wei Zhongxian to be killed without any resistance.

Lu Jianxing gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to catch up and take a look?"

Jin Yichuan's heart tightened, and he quickly stopped him: "But what if Second Brother guessed wrong?"

"What if, I mean what if, there really is such a group of strong men who hijacked and killed Wei Zhongxian's motorcade here? With just a few of us, what can we do even if we chase them? Moreover, even if Second Brother's inference is correct, and Wei Zhongxian really staged this hijacking and killing in order to escape from danger, then he will definitely deal with the aftermath cleanly. Even if we chase them, I'm afraid we won't be able to find any trace of them..."

“…”

Lu Jianxing frowned, feeling torn between his conscience and his conscience, but in the end he had to nod and admit that Jin Yichuan was right.

But then, Lu Jianxing changed the subject: "Even so, I still think we should catch up."

Jin Yichuan frowned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Lu Jianxing lowered his voice and said, "I know this is dangerous, but at the same time, this is also our opportunity - Third brother, don't blame me for speaking harshly, haven't you had enough of this miserable life?"

"We have no money, no connections, and if we want to get promoted, we rely on this opportunity. Now this opportunity is in front of us. No matter what the real situation is, as long as we take it, we can turn things around!"

Jin Yichuan and Shen Lian looked at each other, both frowned and remained silent.

Lu Jianxing understood that his two brothers had been persuaded, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"If there really is such a group of strong men, we will quietly confirm Wei Zhongxian's situation and then return to Beijing to report. But if Wei Zhongxian staged this robbery and murder himself, we will continue to chase him until he is killed. Anyway, Wei Zhongxian's whereabouts are unknown now, and he may not be able to escape death if he returns like this. Why not give it a try? What do you think?"

“…”

Shen Lian looked at Lu Jianxing's expression, then looked at Jin Yichuan's face, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, I'll go get someone."

After saying that, Shen Lian was about to stand up, but was pulled back by Lu Jianxing.

"Don't!" Lu Jianxing hurriedly stopped him, then he glanced at the Jinyiwei in the convoy and said in a low voice: "This mission has fallen on our brothers. Many people in the government office are jealous, and the captain is not happy either. There is no guarantee that there are no traitors among our people. If they deliberately ruin our business..."

Shen Lian frowned and said, "Are you afraid that the credit will be taken away by others? You can't be careless about this kind of thing!"

Jin Yichuan suddenly said, "I think it's possible, second brother. If it's really as you guessed, then there won't be too many people around Wei Zhongxian. The three of us brothers alone can handle it. Similarly, if you guessed wrong, then we can do as the eldest brother said and quietly lurk aside to observe the situation. We don't need to take action. In this way, too many people will make it easier to be exposed."

Lu Jianxing immediately agreed: "Yichuan is right! I think so too!"

Shen Lian looked at Jin Yichuan deeply, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded.

Jin Yichuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he was still a little nervous.

The plan to rob and kill Wei Zhongxian in broad daylight on the official road outside the city was a temporary plan discussed by Zhao Lihe and Lin Zhongtian without informing him, so he didn't know what the outcome would be if he and others caught up with them.

But if he didn't catch up and just returned to Beijing, he was afraid that his two sworn brothers would not have a good ending.

It would be better for the three brothers to chase after them together, for Jin Yichuan's sake. Even if they really meet Lin Zhongtian and others, the lives of his two sworn brothers should not be seriously harmed.

"Let's catch up first and see. If we really run into Brother Zhao, we can react accordingly..."

Jin Yichuan thought so in his heart, and followed Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian out.

Lu Jianxing called all his Jinyiwei over and ordered them to guard the scene. Then he found three horses and followed the traces of the wheel tracks with his two brothers.

Along the way, the surrounding situation was full of corpses and rivers of blood.

The way each of the dead died was similar to the bodies in the convoy.

The more they watched, the more frightened Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian became.

Based on their years of experience in handling cases, they believed that the bodies before them were probably murdered by one person.

Jin Yichuan knew better than them that these people should have been killed by Brother Zhao’s sworn brother Fu Qingyun.

But I didn't expect that this guy not only has outstanding swordsmanship, but his spear skills have also reached the pinnacle.

When it comes to killing people, he is not much weaker than those brave generals who have left their names in history.

When they chased to the place where the carriage overturned, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian had to admit that the person who attacked was indeed not someone the three brothers could deal with.

Shen Lian dismounted and carefully checked the traces around the carriage. He simulated in his mind what had happened not long ago. Finally, he looked at the bloodstains on the curtains of the carriage and sighed quietly.

"I take back what I said just now. It seems that a group of strong men did rob and kill Wei Zhongxian before us."

"And the body?"

"Maybe he was taken away by them. Since this group of people dared to rob and kill Wei Zhongxian in broad daylight, I think they either have a blood feud with Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party, or they want to use Wei Zhongxian to plan something. No matter which one it is, they will definitely not let him die so easily, let alone leave his body here."

Lu Jianxing frowned and said, "Then what should we brothers do? Without Wei Zhongxian's body, it will be difficult for you and I to report back!"

Shen Lian sighed: "I can only report everything to my superiors, I hope they can be lenient with me."

Lu Jianxing punched the carriage hard and cursed, "Damn it! Why are we brothers so unlucky? Such a good job fell on us, but it turned out to be so difficult. Does God only want to bully honest people?!"

Shen Lian listened to him complaining silently, and suddenly said: "Brother, Third Brother, I have an idea."

Lu Jianxing paused, turned around and asked, "What's your idea?"

Shen Lian asked in a low voice: "Since Wei Zhongxian was kidnapped by that group of thugs, he should not be able to survive, right?"

Lu Jianxing frowned and said, "So what?"

Shen Lian hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Then why don't we forge a corpse of Wei Zhongxian and take it back for inspection."

Lu Jianxing was startled when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that simple. Do you think those people above will believe you if you just point at a corpse and say it's Wei Zhongxian? Putting aside other things, Wei Zhongxian has a badge of the governor of the East Factory on him. Only by getting that badge can his identity be proved."

After these words were spoken, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian fell silent.

At this moment, Jin Yichuan's slightly strange voice came from the overturned carriage next to him.

"Big brother, second brother."

"What's wrong, Third Brother?"

"Is this the brand you're talking about?"

As he spoke, Jin Yichuan leaned out of the car window, holding a jade tablet in his hand, on which were engraved five large characters:

"Commander of the Eastern Factory - Wei"
