Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 138 Case Analysis ([-]) Second Watch

Wu Chen said to Gao Er and Xu Da again: "Big brother and second brother, please put this man in the courtyard to cool down, and then order someone to watch over him. If you find him moving, call me immediately."

Gao Er and Xu Da hurried to move people away.

Only the big head was left, Wu Chen looked at the big head who was sitting so sleepy and nodded, and ordered the police to take the big head to the wing first, and also told the big head to go to bed early, so that he didn't have to wait for him.

The soldiers came in and out to clean up the house, Wu Chen and Song Gu stood under the eaves, looking at the naked man drying under the night, Song Gu couldn't help laughing and said, "I've learned the lesson, no one can offend you if you offend anyone." .”

Wu Chen waved his hand and said:
"I have no other choice. He is good at using illusion. I don't understand this magic, but I think it must have something to do with the brain, or what kind of medicine is used to help him. He tried to confuse me with his eyes. I let him freeze it. It’s good to have a fever, the brain is not working well, and the body is clean, and there is nothing to use, so it will not harm others.”

"Illusion?" Song Gu asked in surprise.

Wu Chen sighed and said: "At the beginning, I only thought that there were so many murders and so many people died, and they were all cases that have passed for some time. Only Song Tixing can help me solve the mystery of the cause of death. Who would have thought that after a few days of investigation, alas, the depth of the water is really bottomless, I'm afraid I will hurt you."

Song Tixing smiled and said, "I made a joke, but you actually took it seriously."

"It's also my fault that I don't have much experience in the world, and I don't understand officialdom. It's too late when I understand it. Song Tixing, please think about it, how strong is the person who dares to use the lives of five hundred soldiers as an introduction?"

Song Gu laughed and said, "Similarly, how could the officials keep someone who dared to use the lives of five hundred soldiers as an introduction?"

"What if... the officials are reluctant to kill?"

Song Gu glanced at Wu Chen and asked, "I heard that the five hundred soldiers didn't die at the foot of Laojie Mountain?"

Wu Chen nodded and said, "Someone killed five hundred soldiers and wanted to put the blame on Old Jieshan..."

"Why do you want to blame Laojie Mountain?"

"There is a competition for interests..."

"People who the officials are reluctant to kill still need to design like this?"

Wu Chen was stunned.

Song Gu said again:

"Since you want to put the blame on Laojie Mountain, you want to let the officials know that there are shady things on Laojie Mountain, but you came up and found out that the five hundred soldiers did not die at the foot of the mountain. Now, in this way, both of them have to show their own abilities, and it is the best result for you to find out the other party first, officials, it is not so easy to fool."

Wu Chen seemed to have seen the light of day. He took Song Gu's arm and asked, "Does Song Tixing know who the two parties are? Or the officials already knew, and they just wait for me to find out the evidence?"

Song Gu turned his head to look at Wu Chen, and asked in confusion:
"Why would you ask such a question? If the officials knew who it was, why would they keep beating and staring at them all the time? How could they give them the opportunity to do such things? Your Imperial City Inspectorate's usual ability Where have they all gone? Where can I find out things that you don't even know?"

Wu Chen nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense! That is to say, these two groups of people are still hiding very well. I inferred before." Wu Chen pointed to the naked man in the courtyard and said, "Since he knows that someone wants to frame With him, why don't you tell me who it is?"

"Do you think these two groups know who each other is?"

"But he said he didn't know, but it's obvious that those who framed him know him very well. Sometimes enemies know themselves better than friends..." Seeing that the policemen were almost cleaned up, Wu Chen said to one of the policemen: " Get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Then he made a gesture of invitation, and entered the room with Song Gu.

The soldiers fetched pens, ink and paper, and Wu Chen said, "You all stand down and call Gao Er and Xu Da."

Song Gu didn't know what Wu Chen was going to do, so he also withdrew his own followers.

Soon, Senior Two and Xu Da came in, and Wu Chen asked them to hold up a lamp to illuminate the front of the table. Wu Chen wrote and drew on the paper while talking, so that Song Gu could understand.

"Let's assume that the person who murdered five hundred soldiers and sent the bodies of five hundred soldiers to the foot of Laojie Mountain is A, no, it is Zhang San, and the person on Laojie Mountain is Li Si. Zhang San must know that Li Si did what he did on the mountain. He wanted to use the death of [-] soldiers as an introduction to lead the government to investigate Lao Jieshan, but what is the purpose of Zhang San’s exposure? For the rejuvenation of the country, for the people? I don’t believe it.”

Song Gu nodded.

"Look at Li Si again. He knew that someone had framed him that night. Why didn't he run away? Because he couldn't run away, or he couldn't run away with what he wanted to bring, so how could he protect himself? , There have been many murders here. First of all, the family of the person who reported the crime died earlier. I don’t think it’s Zhang San’s silence. , but the scene that the reporter Zhang Cai saw was seen by the people in the yamen, and it was arranged by Zhang San in advance, and I haven't come at that time, so what's the use of killing him?"

Song Gu said, "That's what Li Si killed."

"Yes, it's useless for Zhang San to kill the informant, but if Li Si kills the informant's family, it stands to reason that it should attract the attention of the investigators. It is always necessary to find out why he died. Shouldn't the informant be investigated first? Zhang Cai's past? Follow the clues... This is what Li Si wants to see."

Song Gu nodded and said, "But the county government ignored it."

"This is very strange. No one reported Zhang Cai's death, but everyone in the yamen knew that he was frightened to death. Here, another murder case was involved. The magistrate of Yang'an County, Chen Wuzhao, had an aide named Wang Lin. After five hundred soldiers were killed, the aide gave advice to the magistrate, saying that the Yin soldiers robbed the road and took away the five-color jade. During the 20 days when I was not there, the people in the county government kept insisting on this statement, and the reporter His death was more like proof, until I came, that day, the staff member Wang Lin wanted to run away, but was killed on the way."

Song Gu narrowed his eyes and said:
"This is the way to silence the truth. This Wang Lin should be from Li Si in Laojie Mountain. They wanted to use the theory of ghosts to help them avoid this catastrophe. Seeing that the Imperial City Investigative Department intervened, they knew it was useless, especially this Wang Lin. He wanted to get away as soon as possible, but was killed by Li Si's people."

Sophomore busy said:

"Before we arrived in Yang'an County, Lin Duzhi was already there. After checking for a few days, why didn't he run away?"

Wu Chen glanced at Song Gu, and said: "The attitude of the investigation department of the Imperial City may be... the attitude of the officials. Lin Duzhi works in the Ice Well Affairs. The difference is that Lin knows how to investigate the case, making them think that there is still room for maneuver in this case. I guess there are people in the capital who are not idle, but I came, and Li Si knew that the officials were going to investigate thoroughly."

Song Gu asked: "So you just asked me, do the officials know who did it?"
