Early the next morning, Shen Hao did not go to the Criminal Department to find the autopsy report that the Hawkeyes wanted to prepare. Instead, he went to the public house to find Jiang Cheng. In his opinion, Qin Xiuyuan's case was not that complicated. What was complicated was the chain reaction behind the case. He needs to know Jiang Cheng's thoughts now.
As soon as he arrived, Shen Hao heard from the concierge that the Governor was already waiting for him.
"You're here? It's quite early. Is the case settled? I heard that the Ministry of Punishment has already submitted a file. You won't come empty-handed, right?" Jiang Cheng was already drinking tea. , it has obviously been here for a while.
"Sir, we have a preliminary outline of the case, but the file is difficult to write. I would like your advice."
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded, waving his hand to signal Shen Hao to speak directly.
"According to your instructions, the case is independently investigated by the Criminal Department, but they are only given the title of sponsor."
"Stop, have I ever told you this?" Jiang Cheng half-smiled.
Shen Hao also smiled, cupped his hands and said, "If you say no, then there won't be."
"Hahaha, what a good boy, he is quite clever. Tell me what you found."
"Back to your lord, Qin Xiuyuan was probably poisoned to death. Someone had tampered with his gum bottle in advance, pouring out the normal gum and leaving one that was mixed with poison or disguised as gum. Poison, and then took Qin Xiuyuan's life. In addition, my subordinates estimate that the poison is probably some kind of poison pill that causes suffocation or has a suffocation-like effect, rather than an ordinary pill that leaves poison residue in the body."
"You mean the criminals over there can't find anything?"
"Yes, my lord, I think so."
Jiang Cheng was noncommittal, but Shen Hao's deduction ability had always been obvious to all and he rarely made mistakes, so he still believed in Shen Hao's judgment for the time being.
"Who did it?" This is the question Jiang Cheng is most concerned about.
"I don't know, but if we are to maximize the benefits, it should be someone from Qin Xiuyuan's clan who did it."
"The Qin family kills their own people?"
"Yes, this way the motive can be explained. And it is also completely consistent with Qin Xiuyuan's death method."
"It's that simple?"
"Yes, sir, it is not difficult to figure out the case itself. I believe that if the Ministry of Punishments has all the information about the causes and consequences like me, they can come to a conclusion quickly. Of course, there is another person who may be from the civil service group. I want to help the Qin family, but it will be a lot more troublesome and lacks some necessary conditions for completion."
"Where's the evidence?"
Shen Hao looked hesitant and thought for a moment before asking: "Sir, do we really want to keep investigating this case?"
"What if? Someone didn't want Qin Xiuyuan to speak. Maybe it was someone from the Qin family or the civil service group you guessed who did it, or it could be someone else. The result is that our Xuanqing Guards should have been thoroughly cleaned. The stain has only been half washed away. The person who took Qin Xiuyuan's life was just trying to make trouble with our Xuanqing Guards.
Since he came with us, how can we be polite to him? check! Check it out! "
"In this case, the Shou King's reaction will have to be taken into consideration."
"Shouwang?"
"Yes, sir. Once the investigation is in-depth, it is impossible for King Shou to stay out of the matter like he is now. He hid and brought Qin Xiuyuan out of Qin's house, and now he died in his house. He cannot avoid it during the investigation. He will definitely It will be recorded in the file, I'm afraid it will offend King Shou."
Shen Hao's meaning was very clear. He needed a clear instruction from Jiang Cheng before he dared to investigate. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to face the oppression of a prince alone.
Jiang Cheng frowned when he heard this.
Indeed, these princes are indeed the ones that the Xuanqing Guards have never wanted to deal with. So far this time, the commander has only sent a note to the other party to inquire, and there has been no direct contact at all. If we dig deeper into the case now, King Shou cannot pretend to be invisible. When the time comes, it will definitely involve the issue of holding King Shou accountable.
If things had been easier to handle in the past, we would be held accountable as we should. But now is an extraordinary period, and His Majesty deliberately allows these princes to fight with each other, so this has become subtle.
"If you have any other ideas, please tell me." Jiang Cheng glared at the boy in front of him. It was obvious that he came here early in the morning not to report but to ask for conditions. But he was careless before, and his words were inappropriate. He should listen first before speaking.
"Sir, if you find this matter difficult to handle, we can change the method, but the credit may be compromised." Shen Hao thought about it all night last night, and he didn't know how many brain cells were wasted. Of course, he knew very well that now Jiang Whatever Cheng is worried about, he has a way to deal with it.
"What's the alternative?"
"My lord, I had the honor to meet someone from the Major Case Department of the Ministry of Punishment yesterday. The iron-faced Xue Gui was full of righteousness, and his eyes were as sharp as daggers. He looked like a person who hates evil and hates evil. In addition, this case is sponsored by the Ministry of Punishment. You see How about giving the credit for "discovering that King Shou was harboring criminals" to this Iron-faced Thousand Households?"
Jiang Cheng was slightly startled, and then the corners of his mouth turned upward: "Are you so sure that Xue Gui will take over?"
"Although I have only met Xue Qianhu once, I admire him deeply. Regardless of whether Xue Qianhu accepts the credit or not, I am ready to give it to him. I think Xue Qianhu won't mind."
"confident?"
"Yes." Shen Hao was still completely sure about giving bad medicine to others. However, this kind of thing that offends the prince and throws dirty water on the punishment department must not be done by himself. Jiang Cheng must nod. This rule is indispensable.
Hearing Shen Hao's response, Jiang Cheng's mind became more alive. Indeed, it is the best way to throw things that may break up with King Shou onto others.
"Tell me carefully."
...
Shen Hao didn't stay in Jiang Cheng's apartment for too long. He told him all about his plan. There might be some adjustments to the details, but in general there would be no differences. Jiang Cheng finally made the decision after listening. , agreed to the plan.
"Sir, where are we going now?" Wang Yiming found a carriage and waited at the door.
"Where is Xue Gui now? Prince Shou's Mansion? Where is Qin Xiuyuan's body?"
"My lord, Qin Xiuyuan's body has been transported back to the Xingbu Yamen this morning. Xue Gui has not gone to the Shou Prince's Mansion so far. He should be in the Xingbu Yamen."
"Let's go find him."
Shen Hao got on the carriage and drove all the way towards the Criminal Department.
When he arrived at the Criminal Department, Shen Hao found that this place was much more glorious than he imagined. In the tall courtyard, the two stone beasts at the door are as tall as a person. Moreover, there are mana fluctuations on the stone beasts. They are actually magic weapons, and their function is unknown.
"Stop whoever comes!"
The car just stopped. As soon as Shen Hao got out, he was stopped by a loud shout. He turned around and saw a government officer coming out of the sentry post. It seemed that he was a police officer.
"This is my badge. I want to see Mr. Xue, the head of the Major Cases Department."
