Great Tang Dynasty

1883 What is concealed

It was just dawn.

Because of the previous murder case, Qin Tian didn't rest very well.

That Duan Yu pleaded guilty, and the case was over, Qin Tian was relieved, so he slept very sweetly yesterday.

However, what he didn't expect was that Di Zhixun rushed over as soon as he got up.

"Qin Guogong, something happened, something happened..."

In Qin Tian's impression, Di Zhixun has always been a very calm person, and this is the first time he has seen him like this morning.

"Master Di, what happened?"

"Murder, another murder happened."

Hearing about the murder case, Qin Tian was a little surprised. The entire Chang'an city is huge, even if one murder case happened in one day, it wouldn't make people feel strange. Why did Di Zhixun behave like this?

"What kind of murder case can make Master Di look like this?"

"The same murder case as Dugu Juanjuan, this morning, someone came to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, saying that a female corpse was found in Bafang Hutong. The condition of the corpse was exactly the same as that of Dugu Juanjuan we found before. Wrong case."

Di Zhixun's complexion was ugly, the wrong case was settled, this will become a mark on his entire career as an official, which will never be erased.

Qin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Another murder happened?"

He already understood what was going on, Duan Yu was imprisoned in a big prison, but now another murder case happened, so it should be clear what happened, right?
But why did the murderer commit crimes again after they closed the case?
Could it be that someone intentionally harmed Qin Tian?
After thinking for a moment, Qin Tian asked, "Where is the corpse now?"

"I have been sent to the Jingzhao Mansion by the yamen servant."

Qin Tian nodded and said, "Let's go to Jingzhao Mansion."

It can be said that the wrong case is very serious, so they must investigate it as soon as possible. If someone did it deliberately, then Qin Tian will be accused by everyone in the court today.

The two hurried to Jingzhao Mansion, and soon, Qin Tian saw the female corpse.

The corpse was indeed the same as Dugu Juanjuan, with disheveled clothes and bloody flesh underneath, but the author had inspected it, and it was still the same as Dugu Juanjuan, and had not been physically violated.

The woman's face turned pale, but it can still be seen that she was a very charming woman when she was alive, but looking at the clothes of the deceased, she was relatively ordinary, and her status may not be very high.

"Do you know the identity of the deceased?" Qin Tian asked, and Di Zhixun said: "We have already sent people to find the family members of the deceased, and we think there will be results soon."

Speaking of this, Di Zhixun said again: "I have already sent people to inquire about Bafang Hutong, but no one has heard anything, and the police dogs have not found any traces. Everything is the same as before. It seems to be a what people do."

Being able to eliminate traces, such a person must have some understanding of police dogs. It is obviously impossible to say that both murderers know how to do it.

They really got it wrong.

Qin Tian nodded and said, "Okay, we will make a decision after we find out the identity of the deceased."

Not long after saying this, a eunuch hurriedly came from the palace.

After the eunuch saw Qin Tian, ​​he told Li Shimin's edict that Qin Tian should solve the case within seven days.

Hearing this, Di Zhixun's face was a bit ugly. This case is obviously very complicated. It would be a bit embarrassing to solve the case within seven days.

But the edict issued by the emperor, what can he do?
It was they who decided the wrong case first. If they don't accept it, the people may impeach them even more.

He glanced at Qin Tian, ​​but Qin Tian responded calmly: "Please trouble your father-in-law to go back and tell the Holy Majesty that within seven days, I will solve the case."

The palace people naturally did not dare to offend Qin Tian, ​​even if Qin Tian made a wrong decision, he quickly complied, and then hurriedly returned to the palace to return to his order.

The palace people left, and the Jingzhao Mansion still sent people to continue to inquire about the news.

In the afternoon, the yamen servants finally found out something. To be precise, a person came to identify the corpse.

The person who came was a man who seemed a little frail, with a thin body and very weak.

It feels a little cowardly.

His name was Chen Wen, and he didn't have any real business in Chang'an City. When he came to Jingzhao Mansion, the yamen servant led him to see the corpse, and the first time he saw the corpse, he rushed towards him crying.

"My lady, my lady, who is it, who killed you, my poor lady, my miserable lady..."

Chen Wen was crying badly, but when he was about to cry, the yamen servant called him over.

"What's your wife's name, and when did you disappear?"

Chen Wen was still sobbing, he wiped away his tears, and then said: "My wife's name is Pan Lianlian, she went out yesterday afternoon, and didn't come back until evening. I was a little worried. After asking about it, I thought it might be my wife. Who would have thought that after coming here, it turned out to be my wife. Gentlemen, my wife died pitifully. You...you must find the murderer and replace my family. My wife's revenge..."

"Don't worry, we will definitely find the murderer. I'll ask you again, didn't you look for it when your wife didn't come home at night?"

It's very strange, in the eyes of these yamen servants, a man's wife is missing, he must be in a hurry, but this Chen Wen didn't start looking for it until the next morning, no matter how he heard it, he felt that Something is wrong.

There was a trace of panic on Chen Wen's face, and his panic was not hidden from the yamen servants.

"Speak quickly."

Chen Wen trembled for a moment before finally saying, "I... I thought he had returned to his mother's house."

This reason is very similar to Dugu Juanjuan's, but the yamen servant doesn't think it's the real reason, but if I ask now, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything.

"Has your wife ever offended anyone?"

"No, absolutely not, my wife is very virtuous, who would offend anyone there on weekdays?"

The yamen servant asked some more about Pan Lianlian, but he didn't find any useful clues. However, after asking this question, he felt that Chen Wen was obviously hiding something. Ask, Chen Wen will definitely not say.

So the best way, of course, is to wait a while and send someone to investigate Pan Lianlian's situation, and of course, Chen Wen's situation.

After asking, Chen Wen was a little distraught, and left with a bit of heartache and entanglement. After he left like this, Di Zhixun quickly sent someone to investigate the news about Chen Wen and Pan Lianlian, and of course, whether they and Dugu Juanjuan were related. What's the connection.
