Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 122 Who to listen to
Shangyuan County Yamen.

"Yes," Xu Zun said to Zhao Yu, "this task is the most important, no matter what, we must find someone who knows the inside story of Huguo Temple back then!
"I want to know, who was there by Lian Kong's side back then?

"I'll give you twenty people this time, is that enough?"

"Enough!" Zhao Yu took the order, "I'll go now!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu led the twenty police officers assigned to him, and went down to assign tasks.

"Ju Butou," Xu Zun said again, "I need you to go to the Nanjian prison, and finally compile a detailed list. All the people who were in charge of guarding Lian Kong in Nanjian back then need to be recorded here. There must be no one less on this list!"

"Yes!" Ju Ran took the order.

"Also, those who know the inside story must be strictly questioned, and don't miss any details!" Xu Zun said again, "Finally, also list the relevant personnel who executed Lian Kong back then on the list, and conduct relevant inquiries. I need to know all the details of the execution that year!"

"Understood!" Ju Ran took the order, and immediately led his subordinates to leave the county office and head to the South Prison...

"My lord," Huo Anu asked, "What about me?"

"You stay by my side first," Xu Zun said, "accompany me later to go to a few scenes."

"Okay!" Huo Anu responded and stood behind Xu Zun.

"Lieutenant Shen, I'm sorry for the long wait!" Xu Zun turned around and said to Shen Xinglian who was sitting on the side, "I just assigned a task, so I'm neglecting you!"

"Don't be so polite," Shen Xinglian got up and handed a record document to Xu Zun, "Look, Captain Yuan has asked the soldiers on duty that night to write down the details of the vehicles that were not inspected that night.

"However, this is only in the area we investigated and does not include other areas in the city."

Xu Zun opened the record to check, slightly surprised:
"There are so many?"

"Yes," Shen Xinglian said, "These people have passports, transport coal and dump slop, and have not left the city. It is impossible for everyone to be inspected."

Xu Zun checked the records carefully, and said again: "So, if you exclude those who pull coal and transport coal, it seems that there are not many left?"

"Yes," Shen Xinglian said, "We have already checked, and it seems that none of these people who drove that night and were not checked were suspected.

"Basically they are brothers from the Dongshi area. They go to the Jiaofang Division to have fun almost every night. They should have no motive for committing crimes!"

Ok……

Xu Zun thought about it secretly, as if he saw something out of the ordinary from this record.

As the saying goes, one leaf blinds the eyes, Xu Zun felt as if he had overlooked something important.

Once this most important thing is found, the mystery will be solved.

"Xu Zun," Shen Xinglian said, "I heard that you have issued a military order with Lord Inspector? Why bother?"

"Lieutenant Shen," Xu Zun was not in the mood to chat with him, and said immediately, "I want to ask you something, do you know that Ran Lin's wife gave birth to a child before she got married?"

"What? Ran Lin?" Shen Xinglian was surprised, "How do you know?"

"You really know!" Xu Zun got an affirmative answer, "Who else is there besides you?"

"Xu Zun, it's not easy to publicize this kind of thing, right? Everyone is dead, so why don't you show some kindness to others?" Shen Xinglian showed displeasure.

"You may not know that Lian Yushu was killed by the monk's clothes killer because of this incident!" Xu Zunzhong said, "The same is true for the concubine of Yuli Chen You!"

"Ah? This..." Shen Xinglian was suddenly surprised, "This...what the hell is going on? It turns out that you issued a military order only after you were sure of solving the case?"

"I just asked Lord Inspector to give me three days' grace, it has nothing to do with the military order," Xu Zun asked, "Tell me quickly, how did you know about Ran Lin's wife?"

"Ran Lin told me personally," Shen Xinglian said, "One time when he was drinking, he drank too much, so he said it by himself."

"Ah?" It was Xu Zun's turn to be surprised, "He told you himself?"

"Yes," Shen Xinglian said, "I wasn't prepared at all at the time, so I didn't know how to persuade her! It was only later that I found out that there had been rumors about Ran Lin's lady.

"Otherwise, how could the Lian family betroth their daughter to a young Wu Zheng?
"However..." he turned to say, "Ran Lin is also thinking about it, as long as his husband and wife are in a good relationship, the most important thing is that he cares about how tiring life is with so many gossips? What's more, there is such a rich father-in-law who has benefits. Isn't that all right?"

"At that time," Xu Zun asked, "Who was there?"

"At that time there were still a few Wu Zhengs, all of whom were on good terms," ​​Shen Xinglian replied, "However, Ran Lin is famous for telling the truth after drinking, who knows who else he has had a drink with?
"Besides, I'm a slow person to react! Surely everyone in the barracks knows about it except me?"

"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "What about Chen You's concubine? Have you heard about it? That Xiaoying was raped by several soldiers in your barracks and gave birth to a son, and those soldiers were all killed in the end. Your military camp is punishing crimes secretly, you shouldn’t know about this, right?”

"Huh?" Shen Xinglian thought of something, "I've heard about what you said, one of them was executed on the spot, and the rest were exiled, right?"

"Correct!"

"However, this incident didn't happen in my camp," Shen Xinglian said, "I just heard about it, is it the Beiya side? I can't imagine that the victimized woman is actually Chen You's wife...

"By the way? Why did she appear in the barracks?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier?" Xu Zun explained, "Chen You's wife is the daughter of your barracks groom?"

"Oh... forgot, forgot," Shen Xinglian waved his hand, "yes, yes, you did say that."

"Captain Shen," Xu Zun asked solemnly, "You really don't know that groom?"

"Really, of course it is true! Can this be false?" Shen Xinglian said, "There are many grooms in the barracks, so I don't have to know them, right?"

"Okay, if that's the case, thank you very much! By the way," Xu Zun urged, "I don't care about Ran Lin's wife, but you have to keep this little concubine Chen a secret, so you shouldn't be a gossip, right? "

"I know, I know," Shen Xinglian nodded, "Xu Zun, if you are really capable, you should quickly settle this case!
"Nowadays, the rumors about the monk-robed killer have spread everywhere, and the rumors are getting more and more evil. I'm afraid that if this continues, there will be big problems in Shangyuan City!
"Anyway, I share your point of view, the monk's clothing case is more important than the adoration of heaven.

"I, Daxuan, value people's hearts the most. If people continue to panic like this, the Holy Majesty will know sooner or later that no one will have a good life, no matter whether it is your state government or our military camp!"

Ok……

Xu Zun nodded silently, he confirmed Shen Xinglian's point of view, otherwise he would not have stayed in Shangyuan City forcibly.

Originally, he hadn't figured out the case yet, but looking at it now, he seemed to have found the way...
