Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 578: Take control of everything! How interesting!

"The person behind the scenes, hiding behind the scenes, using some plans to plot against them, letting others take action, while he sits back and reaps the benefits?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Changsun is smart."

"Yes, that's the general situation!"

Qin Wenyuan said: "Moreover, the person behind the scenes can not only help them take action, but also help the government find the murderer."

"And help the government find the murderer?" Everyone was stunned.

Qin Wenyuan said: "In the past, it was never easy to solve murder cases. After all, the murderer would destroy the scene, try to deny it, or even run away."

"But what about these cases? The murderer was found almost always within a few days."

"And the whole process can't even be explained by the word smooth, it was simply like God's help."

Han Min stood up and said, "Master Qin is right. Normally, it would take us Jingzhao Yin at least ten days to solve a murder case."

"But these cases rarely last more than five days, and every time we don't know how to investigate, clues appear on their own initiative."

“So, we were able to close the case quickly.”

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "You say, isn't the person behind this very interesting?"

"He first plotted against others and made them commit crimes, then helped the government to quickly arrest the criminals and directly close the case. He never showed up in the whole thing, but he was in control of everything."

“This is really so much fun!”

Everyone listened to Qin Wenyuan's words and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

First, he guided others to help him kill the target, and then he helped the government solve the case as quickly as possible, catch the murderer, and close the case quickly!
And from beginning to end, the person behind the scenes never showed up and never really intervened.

It is totally unimaginable that these cases have such a deeper connection!

At this moment, they couldn't help but feel frightened by the person behind the scenes.

What kind of terrible calculation, what kind of cunning and insidiousness must be required to achieve this!

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask, "Is he doing all this just to get the government to close the case, completely ignore him, and let him sit back and relax?"

Qin Wenyuan nodded gently and said, "Master Fang is right."

"His purpose in doing this is actually very clear."

"He borrowed a knife to kill people, and then borrowed the knife of the government to deal with those murderers. In this way, the only two murderers and the deceased who might have noticed something was wrong disappeared."

"Who can find him?"

Qin Wenyuan's fingers gently slid across the file and said, "If he hadn't taken action against Lord Bai, I might not have investigated the number of cases in Chang'an City in the past few months. If I hadn't investigated, I might not have discovered the connection between these cases."

"After all, it's been ten years since the military payroll case. Who would remember a witness from ten years ago who wasn't that important?"

"If I hadn't investigated, I think neither the Jingzhao Yin nor the Dali Temple Criminal Department would have discovered that the deceased was a witness who had participated in the case ten years ago, right?"

Jingzhao Yin Han Min nodded without even thinking.

Bai Yanguan also nodded.

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang also nodded one after another.

Li Shimin saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "Ten years is too long. The court has too many files to count, and too many witnesses and evidence to count. Under such circumstances, it is not your fault that you did not discover the situation of the deceased."

Qin Wenyuan nodded in agreement.

Indeed, with the current statistical efficiency, if we really investigate every deceased person to see if he has been involved in any case before, it might take several months just to do the preliminary investigation of that case.

How can we investigate this case?

After all, this world did not have electronic computers or databases.

Everything depends on human power, and the limitations are still huge.

However, now that the problem has been discovered, we cannot just ignore it.

Therefore, Qin Wenyuan planned to start making the list from the Dali Temple after solving this case.

The roster is created based on geographical location.

To a specific village.

And a list of all people involved in the case was compiled.

In this way, as long as the identity of the deceased is known, the name of that person can be investigated as quickly as possible based on the roster to see if it appears on the roster.

If it appears, you can find the cases he has participated in according to the corresponding page number on the roster.

In this way, incidents like this can be avoided to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, it will be an extremely complicated task, but in order to make the truth known and let all the truth hidden in the dust come to light, no matter how troublesome it is, it must be done!

Qin Wenyuan collected his thoughts and said, "The man behind the scenes was very powerful. He first eliminated all the people who might have known the inside story, and then targeted Mr. Bai."

Everyone looked at Bai Yanguan.

Qin Wenyuan said: "But something may disappoint him. That is, Lord Bai has been upright and honest all his life and is highly respected. Even if he solved a case and got rid of some bad guys, no one would say anything bad about Lord Bai."

"Therefore, Lord Bai is still very popular, so it is difficult for him to find someone to kill with a borrowed knife like he did before."

"So, with no other options, he could only make a special move!"

"Since we can't kill Lord Bai, let's make Lord Bai the murderer. This way, we can also get rid of Lord Bai!"

"Because of this, Lord Bai became the murderer of Zhou Qin. Moreover, with the deliberate cooperation of the deceased, all the evidence was so sufficient that even Lord Bai himself thought he was the murderer!"

"It was almost, it was really almost, he succeeded!"

Qin Wenyuan said with emotion: "You say, with such a mind and such wisdom, if he takes the right path, if he wants to serve the Tang Dynasty, how great it would be!"

"It's a pity that he took a completely evil path!"

Everyone listened to Qin Wenyuan's words and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Indeed, as Qin Wenyuan said, the wisdom of the person behind the scenes has reached a certain level.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to do such a thing as killing someone with a borrowed knife and completely deceiving Jingzhao Yin, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice!
Not to mention, he even deceived the Minister of Justice Bai Yanguan.

Even Bai Yanguan himself almost confessed his guilt!

Just ask yourself, is there anything more wonderful than framing a person and making that person firmly believe that he or she has really killed someone?

Even Qin Wenyuan wanted to have a good chat with the person behind the scenes.

Even when he was a detective in his previous life, Qin Wenyuan had never encountered such a case and the person behind the scenes!

This skill is really good!

Jingzhao Yin Han Min couldn't help but ask: "Sir Qin, who is the person behind this?"

Everyone also looked at Qin Wenyuan with curiosity. Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "The man behind the scenes is very well hidden. Whether it is borrowing a knife to kill those witnesses or framing Lord Bai, Lord Bai has never done it himself."

"There's not even a trace of his existence."

"So, it's very difficult to find him based on these cases."

Everyone's expressions became solemn.

Those who can come here to listen are all important officials in the court, and they all have very active minds. Therefore, they can judge how difficult it is to find a person who has been hiding in the dark all the time but has never revealed any clues.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Lord Qin can't find him?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "I am also a human being. Although I have solved many cases, it does not mean that I am omnipotent."

"To be honest, I came back a little late for these cases. If these cases happened when I was in the Dali Temple, maybe I could still find some clues."

"But now, those cases have been closed, and some of the murderers have even been executed."

"As for Lord Bai's case... he knew that since it involved someone of Lord Bai's high position, there would definitely be countless people watching him, so he had to be more cautious than in previous cases."

"Plus, Zhou Qin, the only person who knew the truth, has already died. It is almost impossible to find that guy."

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank.

In their hearts, Qin Wenyuan is already an omnipotent crime-solving expert. In their opinion, there should be no case in this world that Qin Wenyuan cannot solve.

So at this moment, seeing Qin Wenyuan actually said there was a case, he had no choice.

They all couldn't help but frown.

Han Min sighed and said, "It would be great if Master Qin could come back a month earlier."

Han Min had no doubt about Qin Wenyuan's words. If Qin Wenyuan was in the Dali Temple, he might really be able to discover the secrets behind those cases, and perhaps he could have caught the person behind the scenes at that time.

Fang Xuanling and others also nodded in agreement.

They are still very confident in Qin Wenyuan's abilities.

Seeing everyone's heavy expressions, Qin Wenyuan laughed and said, "I haven't finished what I want to say yet."

........................

Everyone was startled and quickly looked up at Qin Wenyuan.

Then Qin Wenyuan said, "It is indeed difficult for me to find any useful clues in these cases."

"In the case of Lord Bai, I can find out that Zhou Qin committed suicide and Lord Bai was framed. This is the limit."

"After all, the clues are limited, and I cannot fabricate evidence out of thin air."

"But……"

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes, looked around at everyone, and said, "I can't find the man behind these cases, but that doesn't mean I can't find him from the case ten years ago!"

........................

Brush it!
When everyone heard Qin Wenyuan's words, their eyes widened suddenly.

They stared at Qin Wenyuan with sharp eyes flashing!

"Could it be..."

Fang Xuanling looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Master Qin, have you solved the case from ten years ago?"

Bai Yanguan was also staring at Qin Wenyuan closely at this moment.

After all, this case has always been a concern of his!

Li Shimin also stared straight at Qin Wenyuan.

When the case happened ten years ago, his position was the most unstable and his life was the most difficult!
So he remembered it clearly!

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Wenyuan.

Even though Wang Xiaohua was standing behind Qin Wenyuan, she felt tremendous pressure just by being seen by the peripheral vision.

But what about Qin Wenyuan?
But from beginning to end, his expression did not change at all.

He just faced these gazes, smiled gently, and said: "Don't worry, everyone, let me solve the case from ten years ago for you. What exactly happened?"

At this moment, everyone stared at Qin Wenyuan without blinking.

They knew that perhaps the truth of the unsolved case that had been pending for ten years would soon be revealed!
Ten years is enough to whet everyone's appetite to the extreme.

So, now that the mystery is about to be solved, let alone how excited they are.

Qin Wenyuan took everyone's expectations into account and said, "Ten years ago, the person in charge of investigating the missing military pay case was the then Dali Temple Minister Bai Yanguan."

"Lord Bai is the chief official, and the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate are assisting."

"I think you all should still remember this, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Of course they remember.

Qin Wenyuan continued, "I checked the files, and they said that the military pay that was barely collected from all over the place was stolen the night it arrived in Chang'an."

"At that time, the money was used to appease the soldiers on the border. Its importance is self-evident."

"So the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue both attach great importance to it."

"They not only arranged guards, but also arranged an inspection system. That is, every hour, they would open the door of the warehouse and count the amount of silver to ensure its safety."

"This is clearly recorded in the files from that year."

General Cheng Yaojin of the Ministry of War nodded and said, "Yes, I am responsible for the personnel arrangement of the Ministry of War. I remember it clearly, it is just as you said."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and continued, "Because of the existence of such a system, the time when the military pay was lost can be determined."

"At midnight, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War opened the warehouse door for inspection. At that time, the military pay was normal."

"But at the hour of Chou, when we opened the door of the warehouse, we found that... the silver inside had disappeared."

"All the money has disappeared."

"After that, officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue immediately reported to His Majesty, who ordered a thorough investigation. Because the warehouse where the military pay was stored was not far from the palace, the entire process took only a quarter of an hour."

Li Shimin nodded: "I still remember that I got the news shortly after the first hour of the Chinese calendar, and immediately ordered people to seal off Chang'an City and conduct a thorough investigation!"

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

He said: "We can look at it from the perspective of time. There is only one hour between midnight and 12 o'clock!"

"And the amount of silver is hundreds of thousands of strings of silver, which is not a small amount."

"Of course, we already know that the loss of the military pay was due to an insider, who was later killed outside the city of Chang'an. Let's not talk about the insider, let's just say that it would take a certain amount of time to move so much military pay out normally, right?"
