Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 61 It’s all nonsense
The questioning continued late into the night.

Several adults who were listening were too sleepy to open their eyes. Only Mr. Gu from Dali Temple was still full of energy and his eyes were shining.

Several adults couldn't help but secretly sigh, after all, they are young people and they have good spirits.

"Hua Yicheng, please step aside first. I'll call you if I have any questions." Gu Zhou stopped.

Hua Yichen bowed his hands and retreated to the door before turning around and leaving.

"Master Gu, this only clue is now broken, what should we do?" Master Gong cheered up and asked questions proactively to show that he was listening carefully.

"Yeah, I thought the mark on the window bolt was a clue." Xiao Wang said regretfully.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunchen and Hua Yichen assumed that someone deliberately arranged the secret room and imitated the perpetrator's techniques.

Gu Zhou stopped and looked at the inquiry records compiled by his men, and said: "There were 30 people in the station the night before. Now, except for the young prince and his personal attendant Jiuli, Chen Qilang, and the Jiang family's master and servant who have not yet inquired, the others' The inquiry records are all here.”

"How should I put it? It seems that everyone is fine. The autopsy results also proved that Luo Du and others died of carbon fire poisoning."

Prince Su He originally squinted his eyes, but after hearing this, he opened his eyes and said angrily: "Master Gu, do you want to say that Luo Du and the others deserve to die on their own?"

Gu Zhouting's face was expressionless: "What I just said is "looks". What do the words "looks like" mean? Can the prince understand it? Do you want me to explain it to you? "

Prince Su He snorted coldly: "What do I care about you? Just tell me whether this case can be solved?"

"My lord, please don't be anxious. Isn't this an ongoing investigation? This case cannot be solved as soon as it is solved. Don't worry, the court attaches great importance to this case. Otherwise, Mr. Gu would not be allowed to investigate in person." Xiao Wang tried to smooth things over.

"You Daqi people are just like Moji in doing things. If you ask me to kill all the people in this post, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

Gu Zhou stopped and left.

"Where are you going, Mr. Gu?" Xiao Wang asked anxiously.

Gu Zhouting's face was as dark as water: "Doesn't the prince have a way to solve it? Just let him kill him. I will go back and resign and join the army, and go to fight."

Xiao Wang quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty said angry words, why did you take it seriously? Your Majesty, do you think so?"

Su He knew that he had gone too far.Although Da Qi now bows his head and respects Dayuan, if he goes too far and arouses the anger of Da Qi people, they will resist. He has already experienced the bloody nature of Da Qi people in the lobby before. .

Then Prince Su He said: "I just made a mistake."

Gu Zhouting then returned to his seat and continued: "Let's sort through the people we asked one by one. First of all, Hua Yichen and the three servants, what do you think?"

Sirs, look at me and I look at you. Anyway, Magistrate Jiang has made up his mind not to express his opinion. He is the youngest official here and it is not his turn to speak.

Lord Gong muttered again: "I think Yi Cheng and the three servants can rule out suspicion. Among all the people, the one who least wants anything to happen to the post station is Hua Yi Cheng. Once something happens, he will be the first to be held accountable."

"What you say makes sense." Master Lu agreed.

"As for the three handymen, they are not very suspicious. As they said, people from Dayuan often come to stay at this inn. They have seen many people from Dayuan doing extraordinary things, so they will only be more cautious for fear of offending them. The people of Dayuan. They all have families and will never do anything that would drag down their families."

"Your Majesty's words make sense." Magistrate Jiang and Mr. Lu said in unison.

If he is not good at handling cases, can he still be good at flattering?Master Gong's analysis was echoed by the two people and became more and more enthusiastic.

"I think the people from Jiang Ji's caravan are quite suspicious. First, when they checked in, they had a conflict with the Dayuan people. Jiang and Dr. Lin were treated lightly by the Dayuan people. If His Highness the County Prince hadn't stopped them, , the consequences are unimaginable, they have a grudge against this and have the motive to kill."

"Secondly, they live next door to Luo Du, so it's easy to do anything."

"Master Gong, please don't forget that Luo Du's people live in five separate rooms that are not connected. Yang Xu and others were the first to return to their rooms. They planned to get up early the next day and leave here to avoid meeting Luo Du and others again. They He didn't leave the room after that and went to bed early. Luo Du and others were the last to go to bed upstairs, so Yang Xu and others didn't know which rooms Luo Du and others lived in. In this regard, others The confession has been confirmed.”

"Furthermore, Yang Xu originally heard that Luo Du lived next door, so he planned to leave overnight. It was Chen Qilang who was willing to give up his room to Jiang's master and servant, so he reluctantly stayed. Therefore, he only wanted Luo Du and others. He wanted to stay away, but had no intention to kill. Even if he had, he would not dare. Our officials in Daqi do not dare to offend the Dayuan people. Where do ordinary people like them get the courage?" Gu Zhouting laughed at himself.

Master Gong's mouth twitched: "What if he gets more and more angry when he sleeps in the middle of the night?"

Gu Zhouting sneered: "If someone committed a crime, then the person who committed the crime must have planned it carefully and was definitely not an impulsive murder. He could commit such a crime without leaving any traces if he suddenly thought of it in the middle of the night. I don't believe that he has This ability.”

"If the caretaker said so, wouldn't it be the government officials who are the most suspicious?" Master Gong choked.

"If we speak from experience, this is indeed the case. Of these eleven official officers, two are from Dingzhou Prefecture..."

Mr. Lu hurriedly answered: "Deng Kun and Hu Quan are the arrests of Dingzhou Prefecture. They went to Mao County to track down the suspects."

Gu Zhouting went on to say, "Zhongda is a government official in Hexi Town."

Magistrate Jiang said: "Exactly, Xiaguan asked him to go to Maoxian County to deliver something to Xiaguan's wife."

"The remaining eight are all official servants from various places who are sent to the Criminal Department of the capital on official business. They carry official documents related to the case. It can be seen that their main responsibility in the yamen is to handle cases. If they plan well, it is indeed possible to kill people invisibly. . But the problem is that they all have alibis, and no one is alone."

"Let me ask, they didn't know each other. Who would dare to risk beheading for the other party and give false testimony?"

Gu Zhou stopped talking, then raised doubts and dismissed them himself.

Prince Su He was shocked when he heard this: "We have been arguing for a long time, but it is all nonsense. As far as I know, it was the little prince who did it. He is the only one who has the courage."

The little prince dared to point his sword at him, what else could he not dare to do?
Xiao Wang said: "It can't be Ji Yunchen. I know his temper. If he wants to kill someone, kill him when he rescues Jiang. There is no need to kill secretly in the middle of the night."

Gu Zhouting agreed with this point: "Indeed, if Ji Yunchen wants to kill, he will only do it in an honest way."

Seeing that everyone was tired, Xiao Wang said: "Why don't we just come here tonight, everyone is tired, and we can continue tomorrow."

Prince Su He snorted and left first.

"Master Gu, please go to bed early." Xiao Wang warned him with concern when he left.

Gu Zhouting ignored him.

Seeing this, Lord Gong comforted Xiao Wang: "Your Highness, Lord Gu has such a virtue, don't be like him."

Xiao Wang glanced at him sideways and said, neither salty nor cool: "I know his virtue better than you."

Master Gong was bored and looked gloomy.
