Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 672 It's Strange

After entering the palace, Jin Miaomiao went directly to the palace of the Empress Dowager. However, she made an appointment with Shen Haolin and Shen Cha in advance. If she went to the scene for an autopsy, she would definitely send someone to find her. She really wanted to see it. What kind of ruthless person is he who wiped out all the secret operations of the Heijiaying camp?

"Don't you think it's strange, brother?" Shen Cha wrapped himself in fur, "Where did the owner of this pickle garden come from?"

"Where did it come from? This pickle garden has been open in Xijing for many years, and it is considered a time-honored brand in Xijing." Shen Haolin sighed softly, "I still remember when I was young, my father liked their family very much. Pickles, after leaving Xijing, the only regret is this."

"Brother misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Shen Cha waved his hand, "Brother knows this pickle garden, do you know the owner or someone from the shop?"

"I don't know the dead one. I'm no stranger to his father, that is, the last one. I've talked to him a few times."

"Well, that can be regarded as having a certain understanding of their family, not knowing nothing about it." Shen Cha nodded slightly to the servant who was saluting along the road, and Shen Cha tilted his head to look at Shen Haolin, "Then, in my brother's impression , Is it possible for them... the previous boss to be a meticulous worker?"

"I think about it, it's been too long, and I was very young, so I don't have a deep impression on him. The only thing I can remember about him is that this person is very kind, like everyone, who came to buy pickles Individual visitors, butlers of high-ranking families, even beggars and refugees who come to the door for food, are all treated equally, not flattering, not bullying others, he is a pretty good person, a very educated kind."

"Oh!" Shen Cha rubbed his chin, "It means being kind to others and not conflicting with anyone."

"Yes, there is another one that is more impressive. When you meet people, you show a smile before you speak. It is not the kind of flattering and flattering smile of other businessmen, but the kind that is faint, but very warm and very pleasant. However, I heard that the boss is not very courageous, he doesn’t cause trouble, and if others provoke him, he can calm down and settle down. If he can’t handle it, he will find the government to solve it.” He looked thoughtfully. Shen Cha, "Do you think there is something to say here?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that he has such a natural nature. He is either timid, or he feels that he has to deal with troubles, which is even more troublesome. Therefore, he can not provoke others if he doesn't provoke others, and he can leave everything to the government. Leave it to the people in the yamen to solve it. Another kind..." Walking to the door of the imperial study with Shen Haolin, Shen Cha looked at each other seriously, "Because I have a heavy responsibility, I have to use the appearance of being a coward to confuse everyone, and leave everyone behind. With such an impression, no matter what he does, there will be no doubts about him, and he himself is safe."

"It's true." Shen Haolin sighed softly, "But..."

"But what?" The door of the imperial study room was pushed open, Song Jue looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "Why are you two standing at the door talking if you don't come in?"

The two shrugged at the same time, and followed Song Jue into the imperial study.After entering, it was discovered that besides Song Qiyun, Bai Meng, and Deputy Commander Lei, the governor Wu Liujie and the governor of Jingzhao Fu, who were in charge of the five cities' soldiers and horses but rarely showed up, were also inside.

The two greeted each other with everyone, and at the same time turned their gazes to the shivering Fu Yin of Jingzhao, and shook their heads in unison. The Lord Fu Yin is really too miserable. He has been trembling since last night, and he has been trembling until this morning. Yes, I came to the palace trembling from the food street.

"Master Fu Yin has really worked hard." Shen Cha tilted his head and glanced at him, "Didn't get much rest tonight?"

"Many... thank you, General... for your concern, for making... the General laugh."

Seeing his appearance, Shen Cha couldn't say anything more, so she could only sigh and walk to Bai Meng's side.

"What's going on?" She looked at Bai Meng, "Didn't you arrest someone last night? Is he not on that list? I don't remember seeing it."

"You're right, it's true." Bai Meng shook his head, "Didn't we say it before, what Yu Qi knew must have been told, but they must not only send Yu Qi's line, but also Someone else will. If this one is sure, it's another eyeliner."

"What's the specific situation? How did you find out?"

"It was discovered by the person who delivered the sauce jar to their pickle garden. Today they agreed to deliver the sauce jar. The person came to deliver the goods according to the agreed time. After taking pictures of the door panel for a long time, there was no movement inside, not a single sound. He He felt that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to kick the door in. According to his own words, if something happened, he would not be able to speak clearly. This kid is very clever, he found the guards patrolling nearby, That’s how you hit the door.”

"Does the door close from the inside?"

"Yes." Bai Meng nodded, and glanced at Song Jue and Shen Haolin who came closer, "The three gate bolts are intact."

"It's not important." Shen Haolin and Shen Cha shook their heads at the same time, "The murderer can climb over the wall without going through the door."

"If you climb over the wall well, no matter how careful you are, there will be fingerprints or footprints on the wall." Wu Liujie also walked over, "But the brothers went up to check, and there were no traces. The owner of the pickle garden has a family of five, And seven fellows are dead."

"What about the cause of death?" Shen Cha looked at Bai Meng, then at Wu Liujie, "What conclusion does Wu Zuo have?"

"This is the strangest thing that we can't figure out. The Jingzhao Mansion, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Dali Temple have all sent staff to check, just because they are afraid that something might go wrong. After all, there hasn't been such a bad family extermination case in Xijing in the past ten years. In the end, the three experienced forensics..." Wu Liujie spread his hands, "Nothing was found out, so it's natural for these people to disappear."

"Huh?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were taken aback, "What does this mean? What does it mean to disappear naturally?"

"We have also seen the scene." Bai Meng picked up Wu Liujie's words, "The boss and the boss's wife are on the bed in the main house, the three children are on the bed in their west wing room, seven guys are in the room on duty. The remaining five are in the side rooms of the front yard. No signs of fighting were found in any of the places, and the face of the deceased was peaceful without any signs of struggle. In addition, the three authors all said that the body of the deceased No external injuries, no internal injuries, no poisoning or suffocation. So..." He smiled wryly, "Natural death."

"Twelve people in this yard died naturally at the same time? Is it possible?" Shen Cha waved at Eunuch Pan who brought her tea, "I drank tea at Uncle Dai Wang's all morning, and I don't want to drink it anymore."

Eunuch Pan smiled when he saw her frowning. This little girl from Shen Guogong's family untied the knot in her heart and gave up those hatreds. The whole person became different. Such a change, in his eyes, It is very good to come.

"Let's have lunch in the palace. Pan Daban is going to see what's going on with the queen mother. Let's bother her old lady."

"Okay, the servant will go now."

Song Jue flirted with Eunuch Pan, watched him leave the imperial study, turned around and met Shen Cha's gaze.

"What are you going to risk again?" Shen Cha raised her eyebrows lightly, "Miao Miao is here, she said before, if you have any doubts that you can't solve, you can go to her." Seeing Song Jue, he suddenly realized , she shook her head slightly, "Where's the corpse? Let Miao Miao go and see it. It's not that she questioned the abilities of the three assistants, but Miao Miao can see things that many people can't. She pays more attention to details."

"But..." Wu Liujie sighed, "Any other details?"

"Then it depends on the results of the re-examination. It's hard to say now." Shen Cha looked at Bai Meng, then at Song Qiyun and Deputy Commander Lei, "After lunch, if you have nothing to do, you can go with my elder brother Check it out, how about it?"

Everyone agreed with Shen Cha's proposal. Although Song Jue wanted to sneak out, he still had a lot of papers to read and official documents to approve, so he couldn't spare the time.For this, Song Jue expressed regret, but there was nothing he could do.

"You have to solve the case as soon as possible, at least you have to find the real cause of death, so that the people of Xijing can feel at ease."

"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"
