It was now evening, Yu Liang returned to his residence, and Zhou Huai ran to report to the county captain.
In the study, County Lieutenant Yu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Sit down. How about it? Miss Yu's autopsy technique didn't disappoint you, right?"
Zhou Huai didn't show any politeness. He sat down and said, "I'm really convinced. This girl is really a strange woman."
"Oh? So you must have gained something?" The county captain's heart moved.
"Of course, this is all thanks to Miss Yu's attentiveness." Zhou Huai said, telling the whole story.
After hearing this, the county lieutenant was not as happy as expected. Instead, he said worriedly: "Sure enough, things are getting more and more complicated. Behind this, I'm afraid it's not just Lu'an County that is involved."
"My lord, what you mean is..." Zhou Huai frowned.
"It's nothing, just some speculation." The county captain shook his head: "Zhou Huai, remember, no matter what happens next, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, you have to investigate until it is revealed to the world!"
"Because this is not just the death of Wang Shaocheng, it is also about the Lu'an Dam and the people of Liu'an County!"
This passage comes from the heart and is very contagious.
Zhou Huai was shocked when he heard this, and immediately said seriously: "Yes! Sir, please rest assured! I will definitely investigate to the end!"
"Yes." The county captain nodded heavily, paused, and then said, "By the way, have the files been written down?"
"As for the autopsy, Miss Yu is writing and will send it over later," Zhou Huai said.
"Very good. You should first write a file with these clues and the autopsy report. Remember to keep it," the county captain warned.
"Ah? Are we going to write a file now? The case has not been investigated yet." Zhou Huai was puzzled: "And even if the case is finalized, the file should be kept in the government."
"People from the county are coming tomorrow, and things may change." The county captain said and looked at Zhou Huai: "If the case is taken over by the county and the Shangguan transfers the files, no one can stop it. Do you understand?"
"Sir, are you saying that it is possible for the county to treat things unfairly?" Zhou Huai looked shocked: "Is this impossible?"
The county captain sneered: "This matter is not as simple as you think. It is related to Huainan Water Conservancy. Maybe I will receive training tomorrow."
"Then... what should I do in my humble position?" Zhou Huai now felt that his small county-level inspection seemed to have been involved in an invisible whirlpool unknowingly.
"You and Yu Liang continue to investigate. If there is an accident tomorrow, I will find a solution." The county captain said.
"Okay! I understand, I will never give up on this matter!" Zhou Huai reiterated firmly again.
The next day.
Because Lu'an is very close to the county seat, the county immediately sent people over after receiving the news.
The person who came was Huainan Zhongshu Lushi, a seventh-grade official.
Don't look down upon him, but he is a county-level official. When he arrives in the county, the county magistrate must accompany him with a smile.
At noon that day, accompanied by Guo Baode, County Prime Minister, Zhu Bo, Shuili Ling Cheng and others, including Yu County Lieutenant, everyone had a meal in a restaurant to welcome the county officials.
This Zhongshu Lushi was not a good ink-writer. After dinner, he brought the topic to business and asked to go to Wuwei Mansion to inquire about the case in detail.
He is not here to represent an individual, but to investigate on behalf of the county, so his rights are different.
The county officials did not dare to disobey and accompanied him to Wuwei Mansion.
After serving tea in the living room, the reporter listened to the general situation and said straight to the point: "The county governor has personally read Wang Shaocheng's confession. Have you checked the handwriting?"
"Of course." Guo Baode said first with a smile on his face: "After all, it is very important. The county found out the matter immediately. It is indeed Wang Shaocheng's handwriting."
After saying that, he looked at the county captain and said, "Yu County Lieutenant, do you think so?"
"There is nothing wrong with this... handwriting for the time being." The county lieutenant could only say.
"So, this Wang Shaocheng really deserves to die! He hanged himself like this, it would be easier for him!" The recorder said righteously: "Crooked officials like this, for their own selfish interests and regardless of the people's livelihood, are simply the worms of our great Qin Dynasty! Do it one by one! Can he get away with committing suicide? Huh? His family property must be confiscated! To serve as a warning to others!"
"Yes, yes, what the Lord Recorder said is absolutely true." The county magistrate repeatedly echoed: "Corrupt officials are hateful and bring disaster to one side. If Wang Shao had not been like this, there would have been floods in Lu'an County, which destroyed the people's fields and made the people miserable."
"Speaking of this, since the dam broke in Lu'an due to Wang Shaocheng's corruption, have the affected people dealt with it?" the reporter asked again.
County Magistrate Guo Baode said: "Don't worry, Lord Recorder. Although there are many victims of this torrent, with the joint efforts of colleagues in the county, the situation has been basically stabilized and people will never starve to death."
"That's good. I came to Lu'an this time not only because of Wang Shaocheng's incident, but also to take a look at the disaster situation. This is also the intention of the county." Lu Shi said.
"Yes, please record the incident and inspect at any time." Guo Baode lowered his body slightly.
Just when they were about to continue talking about this topic, Zhou Huai, who was standing by the door as a guard, couldn't help it and said: "No, my lords, there are still many doubts about Wang Shaocheng's case. Why don't we investigate? Is this the final decision?”
The hall fell silent. Huainan Zhongshu Lu Shi frowned slightly and said, "Who are you?"
"My humble duty is to inspect Lu'an County." Zhou Huai clasped his fists and bent over.
Lu Shi was amused, and he looked at everyone happily and said, "When will a small inspection be able to raise objections here?"
Before anyone else could speak, the county lieutenant's expression changed, he winked at Zhou Huai, and at the same time scolded: "Zhou Huai! You have no right to speak here, why don't you back down!"
But Zhou Huai didn't see it at all, and said sternly: "My lord, the court has an explicit order that all murderous cases must be investigated to the end. What's more, Wang Shaocheng is also the Water Conservancy Supervisor of Lu'an County, and it is more related to the dam burst. How can it be easily determined!"
He spoke righteously. When the county captain heard what he said, he sighed secretly and looked at Zhongshu's record: "Master Fang, you see... what our little patrol inspector of Liu'an said is not unreasonable, so we have finalized the case." If the superiors come to investigate again, if there are any omissions, we will all be miserable."
"What do Yu County Lieutenant mean?" The recorder raised his eyebrows: "Do you think Wang Shaocheng did not commit suicide?"
"This..." the county lieutenant pondered for a moment: "On the surface, it seems that he hanged himself. However, Zhou Xun inspected the body carefully and found that Wang Shaocheng had been shot by a concealed weapon before his death. Judging from this, I’m afraid Wu Wei Mansion won’t be able to close the case.”
The last sentence already showed his attitude.
Guo Baode and others were shocked.
The recorder said: "Who did the autopsy? Did Xiao Zhou inspect it?"
"This is not true, it is a work specially requested by the Wuwei Mansion of our county." The county captain said.
