Chapter 550: Using Zhuge to overturn the case and investigate

"Yes." Bao answered quickly: "It was only found out last year that Huo Chun, the chamberlain, poisoned his master and killed the three clans by Wu Houyi."

"last year."

Long Xiang secretly thought about the inefficiency, and then curiously asked: "Does Huo Chun have any enmity with Gong Jin? How could he kill his master for no reason? Could he be bribed by outsiders?"

Mr. Bao was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, "You are one of the suspects. How dare I speak."

However, considering that Long Xiang had taken over Wu County, Bao was powerless and did not dare to offend him at this time, so he answered honestly: "Huo Chun has been with my late husband for many years, and our family treats him very well. Normally, there will be no enmity. Everyone is happy." I guess he is being bribed, and I also want to question him face to face."

"Huh? When he was arrested, no one questioned him?"

Long Xiang looked at Zhang Zhao with curiosity, but saw the other person shaking his head slightly.

"Huo Chun ran away after Gong Jin was poisoned. Marquis Wu once ordered people to track him down for a long time, but he was not found. He probably knew that he was guilty of a serious crime and hid in the mountains."

"What? This is unreasonable"

Long Xiang frowned: "Since this person has been following Gong Jin for many years, even if he can be bribed to kill the master, how can he abandon his family and run away alone? This is completely contrary to common sense."

"Haha, who knows?" Zhang Zhao spread his hands and murmured: "In short, he can't be found now, and his motives cannot be verified."

"Well, since the murderer is still at large, this matter is not over yet."

Long Xiang muttered to himself, then turned to Bao and said, "Gong Jin is a noble and noble person, and we cannot let him die in an unknown manner. I am in charge of his matter. I will investigate the cases that Sun Quan cannot find out." "

Mr. Bao handed over his hand and thanked him: "It's rare for a general to ignore the past grudges. I have thanked my late husband while I am here. However, there is no news from Huo Chunyao. As long as he is not found, there is no way to investigate. How can I waste the general's energy?"

"It's okay, I have my own way."

Long Xiang believes that he has watched a lot of crime-solving TV dramas and should have more methods to solve crimes than the ancients.

Zhou Yu is quite prestigious in Jiangdong. Finding out about this matter can help Long Xiang improve his reputation, and it will be a positive help in controlling Jiangdong. It is a good job both publicly and privately.

Long Xiang suddenly remembered the inference method, so he asked Bao again: "Madam just said that Huo Chun was bribed. Did Sun Quan give you any explanation?"

"Ah this."

Bao was too shy to answer, and looked sideways at Zhang Zhao for help.

Long Xiang immediately guessed that it was related to him, and looked at Zhang Zhao solemnly, and said seriously: "What's going on with Zibu? Could it be that I am also a suspect? Tell the truth."

"Okay." Seeing Long Xiang being so magnanimous, Zhang Zhao didn't hide his humiliation and answered with cupped hands: "There are different opinions on this matter. Some people say it's Cao Cao, some people say it's Huang Zu, and some people say it's the general and Sun Boyang."

"Cao Cao, Huang Zu and I are all outsiders, so it's not surprising that others are throwing dirt on him. What about Sun Boyang?"

"In the past when Huang Zu attacked Nanchang, Gong Jin used a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. However, the plan failed and Nanchang fell. Sun Boyang also fled to Luling. Later, Gong Jin attacked Jiangxia and was short of food. He went to Nanchang to find Sun Boyang to adjust food, and finally returned from a banquet. The poison spreads along the way."

Long Xiang pinched his chin and said meaningfully: "If Zibu puts it this way, Sun Boyang's suspicion is really high, and we are just foreign enemies, so it should be easy to rule it out, right? Didn't Sun Quan hold him accountable?"

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and shook his head: "Sun Boyang was originally the first suspect, but after all, there was no actual evidence. Everyone except Gong Jin was fine at the banquet that day. Finally, Huo Chun was found. Many people thought it was an external infiltration."

"How can you be so careless?" Long Xiang looked surprised: "Although Gong Jin and I were once rivals, we have no personal grudges, so why use this as a means?"

"Uh" Zhang Zhao paused first, then leaned over and reminded in a low voice: "In the past, when Gong Jin and Bo Fu attacked Hefei, they proposed to include the Second Bridge." "That's it? The Second Bridge is my wife, how can I blame Gong Jin? It's simply unbelievable."

The more Long Xiang thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt, and then he said seriously: "Although Long doesn't care about reputation, he is not allowed to throw dirty water at will, so I will definitely get to the bottom of it."

Zhang Zhao nodded and asked, "Now that Huo Chun has disappeared, does General Long have any new ideas?"

"If one road doesn't work, let's find another one. But I'm going to Liyang soon, so I can't do this myself. How about you recommend me a talent, sir? You also want to know the truth, right?"

Seeing that Long Xiang was confident and serious about his work, Zhang Zhao waved and called Zhuge Jin to his side.

"General, Zhuge Ziyu is very talented, and he happens to be serving as a casualty in Wu County at this time. I think he should be able to help you, and he also presided over Gong Jin's funeral."

"Tzuyu is a talented person. Since it was recommended by Duke Zhang, you will definitely be able to do it."

Long Xiang held Zhuge Jin's hand and shook it gently. He had met Zhuge Jin in the Wuhou Mansion in the morning. He wanted to say that my brother and I were both soldiers of the emperor's uncle, but he couldn't say it clearly because he didn't have the time, and he couldn't show it too much. Passionate, now is the perfect time to deepen the relationship while investigating the case.

Zhuge Jin was flattered and hurriedly pulled out his hands to salute.

"Thank you, General Long, for your trust. Jin will do his best. However, as Mr. Zhang said, the key murderer cannot be traced. Please give some advice, General."

"Haha, it's nice to talk about it."

Long Xiang smiled and nodded, "We'll talk about it later on the road."

Before leaving, they exchanged a few polite words with Mr. Bao, and then everyone returned by car or horse. Although they came on foot, the horses and vehicles followed them.

Long Xiang comes from a project background, and it is fundamental to have a good emergency plan.

An older minister like Zhang Zhao can easily get on the bus at any time when he can't walk.

On the way back to the city, Long Xiang deliberately ran away from Zhuge Jin. He wanted to give advice to the other party.

The two of them walked side by side and briefly chatted about home affairs for a while. After they distanced themselves from the others, Long Xiang got to the point.

"Since Huo Chun is a deadlock, Ziyu doesn't need to worry about him for now. If his family members are still here, they can investigate his family members, through mismatched wealth, and then find out who he works for. Although the Yi tribe has resolved their hatred, they have been wiped out. Some of the witnesses and physical evidence.”

"Zhou Lang's personal soldiers identified him at the beginning, so the case was quickly concluded and sentenced. Should I start with these soldiers? They should also be considered witnesses."

As soon as Zhuge Jin finished speaking, Long Xiang cast an appreciative look and said to himself that they are indeed brothers and your reaction was quick enough.

When Long Xiang smiled and nodded, he suddenly remembered that Buqu was private property. Zhou Yu's son was still young at this time, and his Buqu should be temporarily led by others.

Then he frowned and asked: "Ziyu's idea is very good, but are Zhou Lang's personal soldiers in Wu County? Sun Quan doesn't have any troops to assign to others?"

Zhuge Jin replied: "Almost all the troops were given to Lu Meng, with the exception of a few personal soldiers. They were disarmed and returned to their fields after Zhou Lang died of illness. They could only ask through Mrs. Bao."

"In order to find out the cause of Zhou Lang's death, I think she will cooperate."

Long Xiang continued to add: "Since it is speculated that Huo Chun was under the instigation of others, we can follow the clues to find out who he has frequent contact with. He serves Zhou Lang morning and evening. Interactions in the camp should be relatively simple. Find a few more relatives. Ask Bing and compare, you will definitely have what you want."

"only."
