Li Nuo's hand, which was massaging Anning, paused slightly.
A murder in Chang'an City was already enough to attract attention.
The fact that the victim was an official appointed by the court made the Ministry of Justice take the matter even more seriously.
Li Nuo learnt from Anning that the deceased was a Zhanggu from the Ministry of Personnel. He had not gone to the government office this morning, and at noon, when his colleagues from the Ministry went to his home to look for him, they discovered that he and an old servant had been murdered in his house.
The home of the Ministry of Personnel's Zhanggu had been turned upside down, and all his property was gone. On the surface, it seemed like a case of burglary followed by murder.
Thanks to the efforts of the Anti-theft Bureau, thieves had all but vanished in Chang'an.
It was rare to even encounter a petty thief, let alone cases of burglary with added murder, which had not occurred for a long time.
