Zhang Liao knows that his mind is not as vivid as Wang Jian's, but he also has his advantage, that is, he is careful. He will not miss any details, and he will try his best to understand everything involved in the case.
"Leaving early? Do you have anything to say?"
"Xu Youwen had an appointment with his friends that day for a drink, but he didn't stay at the end like usual. Instead, halfway through the drink, he said he had to leave because of something, saying it was something at the sugar house. After hearing what he said, everyone didn't stay with him. And when he left, he looked calm and didn't look like he was drunk at all."
He drank abnormally and left the party early. It was normal when he left, but he died in the pond the next day.
How drunk do you have to be to fall into the water and not know how to scream and struggle? At least he was drunk, right? People in that state can't even walk well, let alone shouting, and it's impossible for their friends to say they "don't look like they're drunk." The only explanation is that Chen Youwen's "drunkness" was not caused by being drunk with a few friends.
"Go on, what else did you find?"
"Jin Fengyuan's sugar house does sometimes work all night, but there is no record of Chen Youwen going to the sugar house on the day of his death in the work records of the sugar house. This shows that Chen Youwen lied to his friends and left the banquet early that day. Not to the sugar house but somewhere else.”
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he took out a hand-drawn sketch from his arms and placed it on the table in front of Shen Hao. He said, "Sir, this is a sketch we drew based on Chen Youwen's actions that day." He pointed to a piece of the sketch. Pool: "This is the pond where Chen Youwen's body was found. It was already early in the morning."
The pond is actually not far from Chen Youwen's house, and it only takes less than half a stick of incense to walk there. There is a fence beside the pond, and the road is not narrow. It is not easy to jump over the fence and fall into the pond.
"According to the people who recovered the body, the fence blocking the road was partially knocked down. They think it should have been done by Chen Youwen who fell into the water."
"Impossible. It's very rare for a person who is so drunk that he can't struggle after falling into a pond to still walk. Knock down the fence? This is a typical layman's arrangement."
"Yes, sir, that fence is a complete failure. We asked someone to try it. The fence by the pond is about half a person high and is very solid. It can be climbed over by ordinary people, but it takes a lot of effort to knock it down. "
"Then do you think someone who is so drunk that he can drown himself can knock down the fence and run into the water?"
"My subordinates thought it was impossible. Therefore, Chen Youwen did not fall into the trap on his own, but was fooled by someone else and pretended to be drunk."
"Very good. A good old man shouldn't have such fatal conflicts with others. This shows that Chen Youwen is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface. Check his life trajectory, money transactions, family relationships, and all the past events in the past ten years. , I want you to understand every bit of him as soon as possible, and understand him better than his mother-in-law."
"I understand." Zhang Liao was actually doing this. However, because it was a secret investigation, Chen Youwen's documents could not be retrieved directly from the Yamen's document library. The progress was not fast, and we could not openly go to people's homes to interrogate them. It will take a few days to figure out Chen Youwen's background.
Zhang Liao left in a hurry. He knew that the faster he got things done, the greater the credit he would get. Whether he could continue to rise like Wang Jian would depend on whether he finished well this time.
After Zhang Liao left, Wang Yiming also walked in from the outside, bringing a black gauze hat. He was not wearing the black robe of Xuanqing Guard, so he covered it up.
"Haha, it's not easy to come here, isn't it?"
"Fortunately, the main reason is that the officials from the Ministry of Justice have been keeping an eye on them too closely in the past two days. They drove away one group after another. They are just as annoying as mosquitoes." Wang Yiming secretly took a ride on the supplies carriage from the Jingxi Town Fushili. He came out, changed his clothes in the car, and finally walked around for a long time before coming over.
"Now is the time when they are looking for trouble. Let's stay away from them. I'll hide and wait for them to make trouble for a while before showing up again. If you don't have any emergency, you don't have to come to me. Just use Qianli Note."
"I understand that I came here because there is something I can't explain clearly in Qianli Yinyin."
"What's up?"
"About the matter of the third bedroom of the Qin family. According to your instructions, the third bedroom of the Qin family can now be arrested and brought back for trial. However, the Yamen of the Major Cases Department of the Ministry of Punishment protected the door in advance to prevent us from entering, and did not say that they were guarantors. They just said that they are also investigating and asked us to come first, first served. They also said that according to the order from the superior, I, Xuanqing Guard, am an "assistant in the investigation" and do not have the power to directly investigate, so my attitude is very tough."
"The Major Case Department of the Criminal Department? Protecting the Qin family?" This surprised Shen Hao. The Qin family is now in ruins, why do we still need to protect it?
"Yes, sir, the former female detective named Li Qing is leading the team. There are many people, probably no less than sixty."
Sixty people happened to be the establishment of a small flag camp. Is it so tit-for-tat?
Shen Haosheng thought for a long time and shook his head: "I don't understand what the people in the major case department are doing. Do you think that protecting the third room of the Qin family can isolate Qin Xiuyuan's case?
Go to Mr. Jiang's house and knock on the door, ask Mr. Jiang for an arrest warrant, the kind that names you by name, and write Qin Xiangyu as your name. "
"Qin Xiangyu? Qin Xiuyuan's daughter? The unmarried concubine of King Shou?"
"That's right, it's her. Everything started from her. Now that Qin Xiuyuan is dead, the third room of the Qin family is the first to bear the brunt. Since the mansion is covered by the Ministry of Punishment, it is difficult to capture, but there should be no one protecting the main room of the Qin family. Right? If you don't have enough brothers, bring more brothers with you. If you don't have enough, you can call on the brothers from the Black Flag Camp in Jingxi Town's Fushi Yamen to help. Return as soon as possible after you get the people.
Also, please come here with your ears..."
After hearing this, Wang Yiming was shocked, accepted the order, and then trotted back.
An hour later, more than a hundred soldiers from the Black Flag Battalion, a total of a total banner staff, came out of the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen, plus more than thirty soldiers from Wang Yiming's troops transferred from Fengri City. They directly surrounded the Qin family's main house, which was the residence of Qin Wenhe, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Bang!" Wang Yiming directly raised his sword and opened the door, and then Wu Yangyang's soldiers filed in.
In an instant, the Qin family was in chaos.
"What are you doing?! This is Mr. Qin's residence, how dare you break in!" The old housekeeper was frightened and at the same time doing his duty. He opened his arms to stop these wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers from the Black Flag Camp, but he didn't say a word. After saying that, he was kicked away, his head hit the wall and he fainted.
Wang Yiming returned his sword to its sheath, held the handle of the sword and stood in the atrium of the entrance and shouted: "Search them all inside and outside! If you encounter any obstruction, kill them!"
As soon as the word "kill" came out, the people in the Qin family who had not yet come to their senses immediately turned pale, understanding that the Qin family was probably going to suffer a disaster this time.
