A little weak chicken came to Dali Temple

Chapter 7 Cases and Cases (1)

The case in the medical clinic was closed very quickly. It took only ten days from the filing of the case to the conclusion of the case. Pei Jingning was not surprised to get the closing statement for a simple case.

In Gongmen, even a small matter has to go through the process, not to mention that someone died in the case, this case will never be so simple, he was quite surprised that it could be concluded so quickly.

Because he took office as a new official, these officials haven't touched his temper yet, so they are more attentive?
Pei Jingning remained calm and checked and signed as a routine.

Page after page, as he flipped through, he found that this case was not simple, Mr. Er Lu handled it quickly and with sufficient evidence, but there was almost no extra manpower and money spent on the case before and after.

Looking up thoughtfully, "Is all the evidence taken from the prisoner's mouth?"

Pei Jingning suspected that the investigators used excessive punishment.

Master Lu quickly explained: "My lord, the lower officials didn't use punishment badly, and the lower officials were able to pry open the suspect's mouth smoothly, thanks to the sufficient and convincing evidence collected by Teng Butou."

This is the second time Mr. Lu has called Teng Butou in front of him.

Anyone who has experienced the officialdom and the workplace knows that the credit will be exploited step by step, and in the end the person who actually handles it will get nothing.

The Teng family, of course Pei Jingning had heard that Lord Lu, the second son of the Earl's Mansion, had an in-law relationship with him. It is human nature to support him whenever he finds an opportunity.

Pei Jingning smiled slightly, "The case was handled well."

"Thank you for your compliment, my lord."

As Mr. Lu guessed, the new Mr. Pei was not stingy with rewards. Those who participated in the case handling were all given corresponding bonuses according to their level of merit.

Teng Chong got the money and wanted to invite Ye Zhike, but she refused. He refused and insisted on inviting Ye Zhike.

Yeats said: "If Mr. Teng insists on thanking me, then he can help me pay a month's membership fee for the book store."

"It's only a few pennies, no, I must ask for it."

"Then can I choose a place?"

Teng Chong was taken aback, "Of course." With a bright face, he said in his heart, does this guy want to kill me?
Of course Teng Butou's expression did not escape Yeats' eyes, she smiled and said, "Let's go, Teng Butou."

The fact is: Teng Baotou used the heart of a villain to treat a gentleman's belly, and Yeats chose a small restaurant with only two tables, and the wine and vegetables only cost a few hundred renminbi.

After eating and drinking, the brotherhood between the two became even hotter.

"Brother Ye, I will ask you to help me solve the case next time, won't you?"

Yeats smiled and said nothing.

"Brother, I'll take it as your promise." After finishing speaking, he put his hand on Yeats' weak shoulder, "Come on, I'll toast you..."

A few days later, dozens of members of the whole family in a silversmith's shop in the southern district of the capital were killed. The scene was tragic and the impact was so bad that even Emperor Longqi knew about it.

"Ziqian, I order you to solve this case within ten days and give the common people an explanation."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In this case, the newly transferred young minister of Dali Temple, Pei Jingning, ended the case in person, and brought Mr. Lu and others to the scene of the crime.

A woman was half-kneeling on the ground, with a bloody kitchen knife in her hand. The woman was numb, her eyes were empty, and she was as unconscious as a puppet being pushed and shoved by the arresting head.

Wu Zuo quickly performed an autopsy.

"Returning to your lord, the ten members of the potter's family were first fainted by drugs, and then hacked to death by this kitchen knife."

Master Lu reported the Tao family's on-site investigation.

"Returning to my lord, all the rooms, even the miscellaneous room where the firewood is piled up in the stove, have been turned over, and all valuables such as gold and silver jewelry are gone. It is preliminarily speculated that it is a robbery case."

With the long sword on his waist, Pei Jingning walked in and out again with a calm face, and finally squatted in front of the slain male master to check the situation of the chopped body.

"When is the time of death?"

Wu Zuo hurriedly replied: "Back to your lord, it's the end of the ugly time."

Pei Jingning stood up, "Master Lu—"

"The officer is—"

"Control Shuijing Lane, visit all the surrounding residents, and make sure to find out all the people who entered and exited last night."

"Yes, my lord."

Yeats stood in front of Tao's house among the crowd watching, and she arrived before the people from Dali Temple arrived.

The scene of the crime was a typical pattern of an ordinary shop in the front and a patio in the backyard in Nancheng. There were seven people from the main family, two apprentices and a woman who burned fire. There were ten people in total, all of whom were killed.

The woman fell to the ground, and the kitchen knives that fell beside the dead man were cut to pieces, and a bloody smell came out of her nostrils.

Blood splattered everywhere in the hall, the floor, tables, and chairs were more cruel than a pig slaughterhouse.

After arranging the scene of the crime, Pei Jingning walked to the door, followed by Teng Chong, and the guards and Yachai retreated to watch the crowd.

Bai Lang frowned, and said in a low voice, "Why is this guy here?"

Pei Jingning followed his gaze and looked to the side.

Yeats smiled at him and bowed his hands in salute.

"You..." Bai Lang was about to ask someone to arrest this fellow.

Pei Jingning's eyes stopped.

Bai Lang was furious, turned to Yeats, and said in a low voice: "My father is not Fuma Ye. Not everyone can help. If you continue to follow, be careful not to break your leg."

His eyes threatened this guy, but this guy didn't change his face, how thick-skinned he is.

Bai Lang wanted to show him some color, but Pei Jingning called him over, "Quickly ask the question."

"Yes, my lord." Bai Lang rolled Ye Zhi's eyes unwillingly, turned around to investigate the case, and asked if he saw anyone coming in and out of the Tao's house last night.

Hu Butou quietly looked at Pei Shaoqing, saw him standing at the door with his hands behind his back, listening to the guard's reply, and slipped to Yeats' side.

"How did you come?"

Yeats looked at the crowd, "Look at the excitement just like them."

The onlookers kept blocking the street two alleys away. Teng Chong's scalp was numb, and he approached him and asked, "Is the murderer among the crowd?"

Yeats asked Teng Chong about the situation in the courtyard in a low voice, "Only valuable things are lost?"

Teng Chong nodded.

A burglary?If she was a robber, would she rummage through the kitchen?And what kind of robber would not spare even a child of how old?
In Pei Jingning's peripheral vision, Teng Chong and Ye Zhi whispered to each other, do these two know each other?
Seeing Yeats thinking, Teng Chong said, "Think about it quickly, I'm going to ask the case." After speaking, he quietly glanced at Pei Shaoqing, seeing that he didn't notice here, he hurried to ask the case.

Yeats was analyzing the case in his mind, when a young man squeezed in at the door, "Madam... madam..." His legs were weak, and he stumbled in.

Hearing a familiar voice, the arrested woman An Lingniang returned to her soul, "Husband...husband..."

"Miss... madam..."

"I didn't kill...I didn't kill..."

"I know I know……"

The policeman was about to stop the young man, Pei Jingning signaled, the two policemen let go and let him in.

"Miss..."

"Husband..."

The husband and wife hugged each other tightly, and everyone who cried was moved.

The onlookers wanted to see what the 'murderer' couple said, they kept pushing and squeezing, and at some point, Yeats was pushed not far from Pei Jingning's side, if it wasn't for the guards around him, they probably would have stood beside him.

The eyes of the two met unexpectedly.
