Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1512

Lu Hu knew that Shen Lin had the confidence to say this, and he was indeed reassured by those words.

He was indeed furious just now, after all, he had finally found a clue, but the other party deliberately suppressed him.

Then he had to use the information he had painstakingly found to curry favor with others, and the key point was that Lu Hu was certain that his speculation was correct.

That old woman is really suspicious. If Magistrate Zhao manages to steal her away, he might actually make a great contribution.

When that time really comes, that guy will probably suppress himself to death in order to cover up the fact that he took credit for others' work.

So Lu Hu gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. If he didn't gamble, the consequences would be dire, but if he won, he could turn his life around.

He's already placed his bets; whether he wins or loses depends on the final round.

Therefore, after Shen Lin spoke, Lu Hu knew that his opportunity had come, and he quickly spoke up to explain his suspicions in detail.

"Lord Shen Lin, it's like this. Back then, I led my men to conduct a city-wide search as ordered by the imperial court..."

Lu Hu then recounted his search of the old woman's house and his suspicions about her.

At first, Shen Lin didn't think there was anything wrong, but after Lu Hu finished speaking, he felt that something was amiss.

Others may not be aware of this, but Shen Lin has been handling this matter closely and is very sensitive to time.

According to Lu Hu's account, the old woman returned from seeing a doctor the day after they attacked the White Lotus Taoist.

If no one suspects anything, then everything about this old woman can be considered normal, but Shen Lin is in a hurry to solve the case.

However, once the old woman is identified as the White Lotus Taoist, many of the things Lu Hu described become questionable.

For example, the smell of medicine in the house could be due to an old woman's illness, or it could be the White Lotus Taoist treating a gunshot wound.

There are also elderly women who only go out every two days and stay at home most of the time. This can be attributed to their advanced age and difficulty moving around.

However, it could be that the White Lotus Taoist's leg wound had not healed, and he also tried to avoid showing himself, thus leaving clues and revealing flaws.

Just as Shen Lin was beginning to have doubts, Lu Hu continued talking.

"If I hadn't gone home and seen my mother, I wouldn't have thought it was a problem with her eyes. It's just a pity that these are all my personal guesses."

"If we can find some solid evidence, we can persuade Magistrate Zhao to have the government send people to investigate thoroughly and verify my speculation."

Upon hearing Lu Hu's words, Shen Lin merely pursed his lips, believing that even solid evidence would be useless.

Given Zhao's character, he wouldn't have found anything in Lu Hu's case, because he doesn't care and therefore wouldn't suspect anything.

But for Shen Lin, every clue is extremely important now, and he will not give up just because there is no concrete evidence.

So after Lu Hu finished speaking, he immediately said:

"Although there is no concrete evidence, your suspicions are not unreasonable. We must carefully investigate any clues."

"You wanted to investigate but didn't have the manpower! You'll come with me to investigate in a bit. It's okay even without the Five Cities Garrison and the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"I will take the Impermanence Squad under Young Master's command there. If we find out the problem, I will report to Young Master and you will be credited for the great achievement!"

After saying that, Shen Lin didn't give Lu Hu a chance to speak and directly led him out of the house.

At this moment, Magistrate Zhao was standing guard about five meters outside the door, looking quite like a loyal watchdog.

Upon seeing Shen Lin and the other person emerge, Magistrate Zhao immediately stepped forward, presumably intending to say something.

Unfortunately, Shen Lin didn't give him a chance to speak, and didn't even bother to look at him.
