Marry Changle in Datang

Chapter 539 Understand the context!Start investigating!
Qin Wenyuan, Si She and others also changed their appearance at this moment.

Qin Wenyuan wanted to return to Chang'an in a low-key manner to investigate the case.

Many people in Chang'an knew Qin Wenyuan.

So it's easy to accommodate.

At this moment, he was disguised as a middle-aged man in his 40s.

He has a mustache.

It looks very ordinary.

He looked at this city where he had lived for a long time, and after leaving for several months, he felt a little sad about the vicissitudes of life.

But Qin Wenyuan didn't have much time to feel emotional.

He was concerned about the case of Bai Yanguan, so he didn't delay any longer.

He said directly: "Let's go, enter the city~~."

Without any further delay, everyone got off their horses quickly and led the horses towards the city of Chang'an.

For Chang'an City, only Wang Xiaohua still feels a little strange.

For Qin Wenyuan and the others, that is the place where they have always lived.

With their eyes closed, they all know where is where.

Therefore, after entering Chang'an City, Qin Wenyuan was very purposeful, and directly took everyone to an inn to stay.

When they arrived at Chang'an City, it was evening.

By the time we checked into the inn, it was completely dark.

However, Chang'an City in the night is as bright as day.

All kinds of lanterns were hung up, making Chang'an City a nightless sky.

Chang'an City has a market, and some places have curfews, but some places don't.

The place where Qin Wenyuan and the others live is a place where there is no curfew.

After dinner, it was getting darker.

The place where the curfew should have been curfew, and the place where there is no curfew is very lively.

Qin Wenyuan also saw that Wang Xiaohua was very interested in the night market in Chang'an City, so he said: "You can go for a while, the night market in Chang'an City is very rich, and there are various items for sale, even products from other countries are too numerous to enumerate. "

"You can go shopping."

When Wang Xiaohua heard the words, she immediately showed longing.

But soon, she shook her head again, and said: "I still won't go, Mr. Qin came back to investigate the case, I'd better help him investigate the case first, there will be opportunities after playing."

Qin Wenyuan shook his head with a smile, and said: "Don't say that there will be opportunities in the future, because when you finish talking, you will find that you will have no opportunities at all in the future."

"Or there was an opportunity, and you missed it for various reasons."

"So, go if you want. It's the first time I return to Chang'an after a long time, and I'm also getting to know the brand new Chang'an."

"As for the case, I'm just going to meet someone tonight, and the investigation can't be done at night, so you don't have to accompany me."

With a gentle voice, he said, "Go, don't put too much pressure on it."

Wang Xiaohua thought about it.Then he looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Then...well, since Mr. Qin has said so, then I'll take a stroll and get acquainted with where I will work in the future."

Qin Wenyuan smiled: "Very good."

After that, Wang Xiaohua went to the night market.

Sishehe and Tianji traveled for two days, but they didn't want to go anywhere, so they stayed at the inn.

Qin Wenyuan secretly left the inn by himself.

Avoiding the patrolling crowd, relying on memory, it was very easy, and came to a mansion Qianshen.

Looking at the mansion that had already fallen asleep, Qin Wenyuan smiled, and immediately climbed over the wall and entered.

He was familiar with the road and came to a room.

Then he knocked on the door directly.

After knocking for a while, the snoring in the room suddenly stopped.

Then there was an unhappy voice that was woken up: "What's the matter? You're disturbing me in the middle of the night?"

Then I heard a voice from outside the door: "Han Min, you dare to yell at me, you've got a lot of patience."

Jing Zhaoyin and Han Min were stunned for a moment.

After that, his eyes widened suddenly: "Master Qin!?"

Jing Zhaoyin and Han Min couldn't believe the voice he heard.

Whose voice did I hear?
Master Qin?
But how is this possible?
Master Qin is fighting with the army in Nanzhao, how could he appear outside the door.

He must have just woken up and had an auditory hallucination.

Han Min thought blankly.

"Since you know it's me, hurry up and open the door."

And at this moment, that familiar voice sounded again.

The moment Han Min heard the voice, he almost jumped off the couch.

His eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "Master Qin, it's really you!"

Han Min didn't even wear shoes, and ran to the door with bare feet, and opened the door.

After opening the door, he saw Qin Wenyuan outside.

Han Min looked at Qin Wenyuan carefully from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and then he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

"Master Qin, it's really you! I thought I was dreaming."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Han Min who was anxious to open the door for him without any shoes on, his eyes softened a lot.

He said, "Go and put your shoes on."

Only then did Han Min realize that his shoes were not on, so he quickly turned around to put on his shoes.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Han Min's back and smiled.

Han Min can be regarded as Qin Wenyuan's friend in Chang'an official circles, second only to Bai Yan.

Han Min was the first official Qin Wenyuan met when he became Lord Tang, and also the first official he cooperated with.

At that time, Han Min was very shameless, and whenever he saw Qin Wenyuan, he would hug his thigh.

Every time a difficult case happened, Han Min went to Qin Wenyuan in tears, and then asked Qin Wenyuan to help him with a pitiful expression.

At that time, Qin Wenyuan also wanted to expand his contacts and facilitate future handling of the case, so he did not refuse Han Min.

The two went back and forth like this and became very close friends.

Therefore, when Qin Wenyuan came back this time, the first person he saw was Han Min.

He walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

At this time, Han Min also put on his shoes, and hurriedly walked towards Qin Wenyuan.

He carefully looked at Qin Wenyuan up and down, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Master Qin, I can rest assured that you can return safely."

"Your Excellency doesn't know. As soon as you leave, the lower officials worry day and night, for fear that Lord Qin will not eat well in Nanzhao and encounter danger. He really can't sleep at night and sleep well if he doesn't eat well. Now that Your Excellency is back, finally I can sleep well."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Your snoring just now was so loud that I could hear it clearly outside the door. It doesn't look like you haven't slept well!"

"And look at your physique again, you seem to have gained a lot of weight."

Han Min scratched his head and said, "Puffy, puffy."

"Snoring is also because I can't sleep well, so I snore."

Qin Wenyuan glanced at Han Min and said nothing, but Han Min saw what Qin Wenyuan meant--do you think I will believe you?
Han Min hurriedly turned around and took the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Qin Wenyuan, and said, "Master Qin is back, why didn't he notify in advance, so that I can go to meet Master Qin."

Although he knew that Han Min was deliberately changing the topic, Qin Wenyuan didn't care.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of herbal tea, and said, "I came back secretly, and I don't want anyone to know."

"So far, you are the first person I have seen in Chang'an City."

When Han Min heard that he was Qin Wenyuan's first, his eyes lit up immediately.

He laughed and said, "Your officer, it's such an honor."

Qin Wenyuan said: "You feel honored? But I don't think this is a good thing. After all, if I was the first to find it, there must be troublesome things to do."

"Aren't you the most afraid of trouble, do you still feel honored now?"

Han Min patted his heart and said, "I'm afraid of my own troubles, but I'm never afraid of Mr. Qin's troubles. As long as I'm with Lord Qin, no matter how troublesome things are, they can be easily solved!"

Qin Wenyuan smiled, put down his teacup, and said, "Did you guess the reason why I came back secretly?"

Han Min blinked, sat opposite Qin Wenyuan, and said, "But for Master Bai?"

Qin Wenyuan nodded.

He didn't hide anything, and went straight to the point: "Normally, when a case occurs in Chang'an City, you, Jing Zhaoyin, are also the first to take action. Later, due to the circumstances of the case, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple."

"This case is the same, right?"

Han Min nodded: "That's right, the lower officials were the first to arrive when they heard that an official had an accident."

Qin Wenyuan directly expressed his intention: "Tell me about the situation on the scene when you arrived."

Han Min didn't answer Qin Wenyuan immediately, but after a moment of careful thought, he looked at Qin Wenyuan and opened his mouth.

"The next official heard that someone came to Jingzhaoyin Yamen to report the case in the evening, saying that their master had been killed. The next official asked who their master was, and only then did he know that Zhou Qin, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, had an accident."

"Because the accident happened to an official ordered by the imperial court, it had a great impact, so the subordinate official took people to Zhou Qin's mansion immediately without any hesitation."

"When the lower official arrived at Zhou Qin's mansion, it was around three quarters you time."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

It's three quarters in the unitary hour, which is about five forty-five in the afternoon.

He didn't speak, and continued to listen to Han Min's words.

Han Min continued: "After entering Zhou Qin's mansion, the servants led me to the main hall."

"In the main hall, there are two people lying down."

"One of them is Zhou Qin. Zhou Qin was lying on his back on the ground with a dagger stuck in his heart. A lot of blood flowed out. His clothes were covered with dust and there were signs of a fight."

"And not far from him, near the door, is Master Bai lying on his stomach."

"Master Bai's clothes are also wrinkled. This is an obvious sign of a fight. When the officer arrived, Lord Bai was unconscious."

"The next official hastily asked for an imperial physician to treat Mr. Bai."

"As for the next official, I will ask Wu Zuo to conduct an autopsy and at the same time ask the servants of the Zhou Mansion."

Qin Wenyuan held the teacup and tapped his fingers lightly on the teacup.

He said, "What did the servant say?"

Han Min tried not to use his own words to explain, but repeated the original words of his servants.

He was worried that there was something important that he had overlooked, which would mislead Qin Wenyuan.

So he tried his best to use the original words. In this way, maybe with Qin Wenyuan's cleverness, he could find out the problem.

Han Min said: "At that time, a person was trimming flowers and plants in the garden near the main hall. He told me that during the process of trimming flowers and plants, he didn't find anyone entering or leaving the main hall through the main entrance."

"I also asked the concierge, and the concierge said that since Lord Bai entered, no one from them has ever entered or exited the gate, which means that during that period, absolutely no one from outside the Zhou residence had entered or exited the Zhou residence."

"Later, I asked the housekeeper if Zhou Qin had behaved strangely before meeting Mr. Xiao. The housekeeper did not notice any abnormality in Zhou Qin, and he was still exactly the same as before."

"From this, it can be confirmed that no outsiders appeared when Zhou Qin met Lord Bai, and Zhou Qin was in a very normal mood before meeting Lord Zhou, so the conflict should have happened suddenly between the two. "

"In the end, the conflict directly caused the two to wrestle."

"And then……"

Han Min didn't continue talking.

But Qin Wenyuan understood that according to normal deduction, Xiao Yu accidentally killed Zhou Qin unintentionally.

This is an accident.

But in any accident, killing is killing.

It is necessary to take responsibility.

But...is that really the case?
Qin Wenyuan said: "Tell me about the situation at the crime scene."

Han Min said: "When we arrived, the housekeeper had ordered that no one should be allowed to enter, so the first scene was not destroyed."

"Once we entered, we found two stools were upside down."

The table was knocked away by two inches.

A decorative vase broke.

He fell not far from the dead.

And between the vase and the deceased, there are some drops of blood.

Other than that, nothing.

The main hall in the Zhou Mansion is relatively spacious, and originally there was no furniture.

…………

A scene of the crime scene appeared in Qin Wenyuan's mind.

Like an air man, he walked through the scene himself.

Then, he carefully observed every detail.

"Two questions!"

At this time, Qin Wenyuan suddenly said: "First, did the servant hear something? He rushed over suddenly and found out that something happened?"

Han Min nodded and said, "The butler said that he heard the sound of the vase breaking, worried about something, so he hurried over to check and found something wrong."

"So, it's the sound of the vase that attracts the butler, right?"

Han Min thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, that's it!"

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.

He added: "Second question."

He looked at Han Min and said, "Where did the murder weapon come from?"

"Where did the dagger that pierced Zhou Qin come from?"

"I don't think Mr. Xiao will carry a dagger with him when he goes to meet his colleagues. He doesn't have this habit."

"So, where did the murder weapon come from?"

Qin Wenyuan knew Xiao Yu very well.

Unlike Qin Wenyuan, Xiao Yu has offended many people and has many enemies, so he carries weapons with him for self-defense.

Official Bai Yan is flexible, although he has a bottom line that he insists on, but above the bottom line, he will never be too stubborn.

Because of this, no matter whether Bai Yanguan became Dali Temple Minister or Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, no one objected.

Because they know that unless they really do something beyond the bottom line, Xiao Yu will not show any mercy.

Because of this, Bai Yanguan has almost no enemies.

There is no need to defend yourself.

So, where did the dagger that killed Zhou Qin come from?

Jing Zhaoyin and Han Min, as the first official to contact the case, naturally also checked the murder weapon.

He said: "According to the steward of the Zhou residence, the murder weapon belonged to Zhou Qin. He said that Zhou Qin has fallen in love with wood carving these days, and he often likes to carve things. That dagger is one of Zhou Qin's common tools these days."
