"Ministry of Industry official Gou Zhongxing!" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
In fact, he was not sure whether the person who wanted to kill him had anything to do with Gou Zhongxing.
But this is not important. What is important is to open up an idea.
In his previous life, he also learned some crime-solving techniques from his forensic father.
In the process of judging a case, first make bold inferences, and then verify and collect evidence based on the inferences.
If the evidence is insufficient to support the inference, overturn it and make new inferences based on existing clues.
Over and over again, the truth is revealed bit by bit.
"Why does this case have anything to do with the Ministry of Industry? Isn't it the Ministry of Punishment?" Hua Baguang frowned.
"The reason why I went to the teahouse poetry gathering was because Zhang Jiuer was at the teahouse."
Lin also gave his basis: "Last night, Gou Zhongxing, an official from the Ministry of Industry, mentioned the Teahouse Poetry Club in front of me and Zhang Jiuer. It just so happened that... Mr. Zhao asked me to go to the Yamen to apply for household registration today. It happened that the Poetry Club was held. At the teahouse opposite the Yamen!"
Hua Baguang pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, Gou Zhongxing knew in advance that you would go to the Yamen, and then deliberately mentioned the teahouse poetry meeting, just to attract you and Zhang Jiuer?"
"yes!"
"Then the question is, why is Gou Zhongxing so sure that you will go to the Yamen?"
Hua Baguang stroked his chin, suddenly feeling like his mind was widening.
"Two possibilities!"
Lin Yi looked at Hua Nao seriously and analyzed: "Master Zhao went to the government office to ask for my household registration. So, one way is that your Long Wei leaked the news, and the other is from the government office. Someone leaked the news..."
"If I'm not mistaken, the poetry meeting was only held after Mr. Zhao communicated with the government office..."
"I see!"
Hua Baguang's eyes lit up and he said, "Your analysis makes sense, so we just need to follow this idea and verify it bit by bit, right?"
Lin Yi smiled slightly.
"Come on, the Ministry of Works should be off work at this hour. I'll ask someone to check the address of Gou Zhongxing, an official from the Ministry of Works!"
Hua Baguang's eyes flashed with excitement.
He whistled, and a dragon guard jumped down from the eaves of a house, bowed and said: "Master Hua!"
"Check the address of Gou Zhongxing, an official from the Ministry of Industry!" Hua Paguang said.
"yes!"
Just as Long Wei was about to leave, Lin Yi said, "By the way, let's also find out who ran errands to the government office for Mr. Zhao!"
"By the way, go to the government office and bring the officials from the Household Department who are in contact with Long Wei to the Zhenfu Department!"
"Check the scholars who participated in the poetry meeting again and ask them the specific time when they received the notification of the poetry meeting!"
Lin also knew that this was the beginning of a contest, and he must take the initiative as soon as possible.
Once the person behind it discovers that something is wrong, they may kill someone and silence them.
Once the clues are gone, it will be difficult to find out who is behind the scenes...
The dragon guard looked at Hua Baguang.
Hua Baguang said: "Do as Academician Lin said, this is Master Zhao's order!"
"yes……"
The dragon guard quickly left and joined the other dragon guards, each responsible for a direction to save time to the maximum extent.
Not long after.
The Long Guard went back and reported Gou Zhongxing's address to Hua Baguang.
Lin Yi and Hua stripped naked and rushed over with more than ten dragon guards.
…
Xicheng.
In a certain house, Gou Zhongxing came home from work and leaned on his chair tiredly.
"What is that guy's background? Even Zhao Tai, the new Zhenfu Secretary, has to come forward to protect him..."
"Will they find out about me?"
"No, probably not. It was just a conflict between Lin Yi at the poetry meeting. Lin Yi happened to be involved in a murder case and had nothing to do with me..."
Gou Zhongxing drank several cups of tea in a row before he felt relieved.
He remembered what Zhong Wenhe, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, said to him, saying that he would explain in a sentence or two if he was investigated by Long Wei.
Ha~
This is absolutely impossible!
He dared to guarantee it with his head. Zhong Wenhe was the thigh he was holding now. How could he betray Master Zhong?
boom!
There was a huge sound without warning, and Gou Zhongxing jumped up from his chair in fright.
"So bold, even my..."
Just as Gou Zhongxing rolled up his sleeves, Dragon Guard Bai Hua stripped naked and rushed in with more than a dozen Dragon Guards.
He saw clearly who was coming, and sat down on the chair in fright, his face turned pale, and then stood up again: "What are you doing?"
"What?"
Hua Baguang's expression turned grim and he said, "Is that you, Gou Zhongxing, the official from the Ministry of Industry?"
"I'm not, you have the wrong person!" Gou Zhongxing quickly denied.
Lin Yi then walked in from outside, stared at Gou Zhongxing with an indifferent expression, and said, "Master Gou, we meet again!"
"take away!"
Lin also took action decisively after knowing that Hua Baguang was assisting him in investigating the case.
"What are you doing? I'm going to sue you. I didn't do anything. Why should Long Wei arrest me?"
Gou Zhongxing's upper body kept struggling, but his lower body was too weak to move forward.
He was crying, knowing what kind of hell he would face after being captured by Long Wei.
It seems that since the Zhenfu Division established the imperial prison, no one has been able to come out alive after being arrested.
"slow!"
Lin Yi waved his hand.
With a look from Hua Baguang, the dragon guards let go of Gou Zhongxing.
"Master Gou, do you know me?"
Lin Yi sat on the chair and stared at Gou Zhongxing with a half-smile. The latter looked pale and nodded: "We know him!"
What Gou Zhongxing didn't understand was why Longwei would listen to Lin Yi. Could it be that... he was recruited into Longwei by Zhao Tai, the commander of the Zhenfu Division, just because of a talented poem about Mingzhou.
Directly occupying an important position?
No!
He was unwilling to give in.
He has worked hard in the Ministry of Industry for so many years and has not been promoted to a higher level. Why can Lin Yi reach the top in one step?
"I have a few questions to ask you. Isn't it convenient?" Lin Yidao.
"Not convenient..."
Gou Zhongxing was about to say that it was inconvenient and had nothing to say, but Lin Yi immediately said, "If it's inconvenient, you can go to the Zhenfu Division to speak!"
Buzz!
Gou Zhongxing's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said: "It's very convenient, we can talk here!"
"very good!"
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said indifferently: "Who asked you to do this? Want to kill me?"
"What do you mean? What do you do?"
Although Gou Zhongxing was panicking, he was determined to die for Zhong Wenhe. He frowned and said, "You are Lin Yi, right? I have no enmity with you. Why should I put you to death? Why should you frame me falsely?"
"According to the information from Long Wei's investigation, yesterday you went to Zhang's house after work. After leaving Zhang's house, you went to another place. An hour later, you went to Zhang's house again and mentioned the teahouse poetry meeting outside Zhang's house. , yes or no?”
Lin Yi stared at Gou Zhongxing's eyes.
This is actually his guess, but that's how interrogation is, with fiction mixed with reality, and reality mixed with fiction, with the purpose of breaking through the suspect's psychological defenses.
Buzz!
Gou Zhongxing's eyes were panicked and his body trembled.
Lin Yi saw this small detail and immediately determined that Gou Zhongxing was involved in this plan.
"Why aren't you talking? How about we go to the Zhenfu Division to have a chat?" Lin Yi stood up.
"Why didn't I say anything? I said yes, but you didn't hear it. After I left Zhang's house, I went to my colleague's house to drink because I was very sad!"
Gou Zhongxing stared at Lin Yi and explained, "What makes me sad is Zhang Jiuer's attitude towards you."
"Yes, I was jealous. Later, after I had a drink with my colleagues, I told Zhang Jiuer that there was a poetry meeting because I wanted to attend it with him, but then something happened at the Ministry of Industry and I couldn't leave, so I didn't go... "
Before Gou Zhongxing could finish speaking, Lin Yi slapped the armrest of the chair: "You lied!"
A trace of awe-inspiring energy escaped, and Gou Zhongxing's body shook violently, and he sat down on the ground.
His face was as pale as paper!
