Yang Jie was still having breakfast early in the morning when he heard the adjutant coming down below to report that Mr. Shen from the Nanyuan Special Case Division was already waiting in the Yamen lobby.
"Let him wait." Yang Jie was stunned for a moment, then continued to drink the porridge in his hand, and deliberately slowed down his eating speed. It took enough time to finish a stick of incense before finishing a bowl of porridge and a small plate of pickles. Then he slowly walked from the back of the Yamen to the front.
To be honest, Yang Jie had no interest in people like Shen Wujiu from the Special Case Division before. Because there was no interaction, and the other party deliberately downplayed his presence in the county magistrate's office, Yang Jie couldn't say much about him. But this time it felt quite annoying. A kind of aggrieved feeling that one's own things have been taken away by outsiders. And a kind of shame of "bringing the scandal to the public".
If it weren't for his responsibilities, Yang Jie would never come out to see the other party. It looks annoying.
When they arrived at the living room next to the lobby, which was filled with old furnishings, Shen Wujiu sat on a chair with a body like a halberd. Even if he sat there without saying a word, he exuded a fierce aura that no one could ignore.
"Master Yang!" Shen Wujiu stood up when he saw Yang Jie coming in and said hello. After that, the two of them got down to business without any politeness.
Yang Jie glanced at the untouched teacup in front of Shen Wujiu, and then asked: "Master Shen is not busy investigating the case in the Wu Mansion, so why do you come to my place?"
Shen Wujiu had long been accustomed to local officials giving him cold words. Anyway, the Nanyuan Special Case Division has a special license. The other party does not dare to make things difficult or neglect, as long as it does not affect the handling of the case. It doesn't matter whether the attitude is hot or cold.
"Master Yang is also busy. He would not bother Master Yang unless he couldn't get around it." Shen Wujiu said as he took out a rubbing of the file, put it on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Yang Jie. Then he said: "This person's information is extremely detailed, and he obviously wants to track him. Mr. Yang, can you tell me what you think of this person?"
Yang Jie opened the file, raised his brows slightly, and thought to himself that it was awesome. Didn't he expect that in less than a day, the people from the Special Cases Division would investigate to this extent?
"Zhang Yan? Mr. Shen also thinks there is something wrong with this person?" Yang Jie was not prepared to hide it. When investigating a case, personal emotions cannot be brought into it. He still has this kind of integrity and magnanimity.
"Not bad! It seems that Mr. Yang has already felt that this person is special before? What can you say?"
Yang Jie organized his words for a moment, and then said: "After Wu Yuan's only son died, he asked the housekeeper to secretly send people to follow and collect information about Zhang Yan. Then Wu Yuan's suicide note clearly stated that he suspected It was Zhang Yan who killed his son, and it was not an accident as it seemed. And he was sure that he would be killed by him as well. It was a pity that only the first half of the suicide note was written and disappeared, otherwise there should be more information.
In addition, almost all murder cases involving Wu Yuan can be said to have no supporting evidence. Even though there are testimonies from some local officials in Langyuan City, the key evidence cannot be obtained. There is only one survivor in this case, and that is Zhang Yan. And it was just after Zhang Yan came back from the army that he was cleared of his crimes, less than half a year later, the Wu family father and his son died suddenly..."
There is no hiding or misguiding. Yang Jie told Shen Wujiu about some of the points that he and his adjutant had always suspected, and contacted many of the confessions of convicted officials in the yamen that were obtained later as a reference, which further highlighted Zhang Yan's unique character. The people who survived in the hands of the Wu family and his son looked weird all over.
After Yang Jie finished talking about the things in the case, he started to talk about things outside the case, and continued: "This Zhang Yan was just an ordinary person before he was convicted and sent to the army. Later, when he entered the army, he immediately seemed like a different person. He showed his extraordinary ability in the army. Not only was he cleared of his crime, but he also became a scholar in the miscellaneous field. Now he has somehow entered the Jiangwu Academy and became a guest teacher. This person... is hard to see through."
Can't see through! This was what Yang Jie was saying, a little aggrieved. If someone else had changed his mind or if he had thought about it earlier, he would have been taken back long ago. Even if he was not sentenced to death, he could still be interrogated. Even if it didn't work, he could still use his hands and feet to have a verbal confrontation. It's a pity that he discovered it too late. His status as a guest teacher at the Wushu Academy was not something he could change casually.
Shen Wujiu didn't say a word during the conversation and listened carefully to the end. I knew in my heart that I had come to the right place this time. Some things that could not be recorded directly in the files were narrated by Yang Jie without any taboos. For example, Zhang Yan must have received preferential treatment in the army, otherwise the city guard Zhou Cang of Langyuan City would not have protected his family when he returned home. Later, he joined the military academy as a guest teacher. Although I don’t know who recommended it, someone witnessed the adjutant of Shi Xuan, commander of the Eastern Army, visiting Langyuan City and attending the wedding of Zhang Yan’s eldest brother Zhang Shun. Therefore, it can be speculated that Zhang Yan’s status as a guest teacher came from Shi Xuan’s recommendation.
Shen Wujiu thought to himself: This person named Zhang is a bit difficult to deal with! Identity, connections, and support are all there. Being able to manage one's surroundings in such a tight manner for more than half a year is indeed quite a skill. But why?
Come back from Yang Jie. Shen Wujiu analyzed it repeatedly with his subordinates in the study. The more he analyzed, the more certain he became that this person named Zhang Yan must be related to Wu Yuan's death, as well as the bedbugs that obviously existed in Wu's mansion but disappeared inexplicably.
"Sir, Wu Yuan frequently sought medical treatment before his death, complaining of chest pains. Wu Yuan's son, Wu Qingling, had always been a rotten person, and he also took medicine to strengthen his vitality. It seems coincidental that he died from a massive ejaculation, but it doesn't completely make sense. If these two That person was really killed by Zhang Yan, could this method also be related to those bedbugs?"
"You mean that Zhang Yan is also a "saint"? And this was a bloodbath between saints? In the end, Wu Yuan and his son lost?"
"Yes, that's what my subordinates guessed. And this can also explain why Wu Yuan can't use his saints and the bugs behind him to protect peace and take revenge. Because his support is not as strong as Zhang Yan's support."
Shen Wujiu leaned back in his chair. I have to say that my guess is really possible. And according to this statement, many doubts are justified.
However, Shen Wujiu also had a guess and said: "There is another possibility. That is that Zhang Yan is not only capable of killing the Wu family and his son, but also the bugs who came to help the Wu family and his son vent their anger."
"But sir, it is certain that there have been bedbugs of the Holy King level in the dry well in the Wu Mansion recently. How can Zhang Yan be so capable? To destroy the Holy King, that is only the ability of those old monsters among the demon species. !?"
The people under his command were shocked by Shen Wujiu's guess, and they didn't believe it in their hearts. But I dare not say it in front of my face.
Shen Wujiu didn't care about the doubts of his subordinates. He also knew that his speculation was a bit outrageous. But this possibility does not exist.
"Check Zhang Yan's whereabouts and let our people carefully touch his bottom first."
