I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 122 If you want to play, play big
  Twenty years ago, the Ye family tragedy, Jin Kui Sha...

Ye Siyi was actually involved in the death of the leader?
  Cao An's face changed slightly, and he thought about these last words over and over again.

It is certain that the leader must have been murdered, but the cause of death was not due to the ambush last night as Cao An thought, but was related to Ye Siyi.

Therefore, Ye Siyi's death was difficult to comprehend in common sense, but it indirectly forced a minister to death?
  "What a subtle layout! Such a mind-attacking technique is really amazing." Cao An clenched his fists and replayed the details over and over in his mind.

But it didn't matter what he muttered, but the people around him went berserk!
  "Cao An! You should speak!" Pang Shi couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly. Only then did Cao An finally come back to his senses.

He looked up and saw, good guy, dozens of people were waiting for his answer!

Anyone who has heard of Cao Shuixiu's reputation knows that he has an excellent three-purity method and can see the differences in the world.

At this moment, his face suddenly changed, and then he started to praise other people's exquisite layout. You are so praising me! If you have something to say, just say it!
  Cao An opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly thought of the obsessive image he had just seen, as well as the last words, suicide note, and the female officer who died in the Ministry of Rites. The words came to his lips, but he could not say them out.

Pang Shi was not an ordinary person. Seeing his reaction, he instantly guessed the problem.

There are some things that Cao An cannot say out loud because the case must be too extensive.

Pang Shi could only look at Ying Changfeng aside and let him make a decision.

Decision? What to decide? What to decide?

The Wild Wolf Army dares to ride hundreds of horses into thousands of troops, but are they still afraid of this small case?
  "Cao An, please tell me directly, did the leader commit suicide?"

Ying Changfeng's words gave Cao An confidence, but there are some things that he still needs to make clear first: "Sir, you asked me whether it was suicide. I can tell you for sure that it was not suicide."

As soon as these words came out, people around started talking about it.
  "Isn't it suicide? Then why do other authorities say it was suicide?"

"Exactly, if other offices were useful, there wouldn't be the name of Detective Cao Shuixiu."

……

Although I don't know where Cao An's confidence came from, he dared to say that he was not committing suicide in front of the Three Laws Division, which is enough to prove that Cao An did discover some secrets.

"But... I don't want to take over this case because I am a humble official, and I hope that Mr. Zheng can forgive me." Cao An suddenly changed the subject, surprising the entire audience.

You clearly know that you didn’t commit suicide, so that means you have evidence! Why don't you want to check?
  The buzz around him got louder, and even Pang Shi couldn't help but persuade him: "Cao An, what exactly did you find? Just tell me! If you don't want to investigate, just tell me the evidence."

Mo Xiaoming, who was on the side, couldn't stand it either: "Cao An, are you trying to show off? Or what? Are you trying to be mysterious by telling half of the story and not telling the other half?"

"Just think that I'm being mysterious. If you want to commit suicide, then commit suicide. I don't want to get involved in this case." Cao An was unmoved and went straight back to the Tsing Yi Department's camp, completely ignoring the comments around him.

Ying Huorong tilted his head and looked at him: "Is this case very troublesome?"

"Well, it's very troublesome."

"Then don't check. It would be nice to go home peacefully."

Everyone in the Tsing Yi Department is very open-minded.

Sometimes, reckless people also need to consider the consequences. Cao An's judgment must be because the impact of this case is so great that even if Ying Changfeng is in charge, there will be trouble.

But Cao An and the others can let it go, but Princess Wen Zhao cannot!

Without saying a word, he rushed over and blamed Cao An: "Why don't you investigate? You clearly know that the leader was killed, and I ordered you to investigate!"

Seeing the little princess beating pear blossoms in the rain, Cao An couldn't bear it, but he really had no way to check.

Looking at the father-in-law who was hesitant to speak, he said bluntly: "You are sent by the Holy One to check the situation. If the Holy One asks, just say that the official does not dare to check. The Holy One will definitely understand what the official means."

Can the Holy One understand?
  Everyone present was smart. Cao An pointed out the problem so straightforwardly that everyone understood it instantly.

Even Mo Xiaoming, who still wanted to mock Cao An, shut up at this moment.

When a catcher says he doesn't dare to investigate, he must have encountered extremely strong resistance.

But Liang Qifeng has already stood up, and there is still someone who can stabilize him?

Yes, that is the current emperor.

In other words, this case may involve the harem and an area that officials cannot cross. This is why Cao An did not dare to investigate.

Regardless of whether it is the Sanfa Department or the Qingyi Department, no one has the qualifications to break into the harem and investigate the concubines and female officials, so Cao An's best choice is to retreat bravely at this moment.

"There's another problem. I'm afraid Mu Bai wants to see the outcome of this case."

When they came to a remote place, Cao An told what happened this morning. Regarding the effectiveness of that person, the Red Fox Queen was naturally happy and applauded repeatedly. Cao An did a good job.

But Cao An was worried about other things.

"Mu Bai said she was just doing Ye Siyi a small favor, but in my opinion, she might also want to use my power to disrupt the harem. Although I don't see the problem, it's really uncomfortable to work for others for free. "

Zhu Xian scratched his head and asked, "But if we don't investigate this case, wouldn't those gangsters who plotted against you last night go free?"

"No, the case still needs to be investigated. I just have to wait for Emperor Wan Jing's decree. It should come soon."

"Oh? So confident?"

"Yes, I'm very confident. And what I want is not just to investigate the harem, I want to do something big."

……

Cao An's concerns soon reached the ears of Emperor Wan Jing.

Pang Shi and his father-in-law stood in front of them to report, and they did not miss every reaction and movement of Cao An.

Emperor Wan Jing placed one of the corrected memorials on the table. After listening to the report, he still picked up the other expressionlessly and replied lightly:

"Check, why not check? My minister was killed. If the harem is really involved, then the same will be done."

Emperor Wan Jing's indifference made Pang Shi lower his head. After receiving the order, he left in a hurry, not daring to stay for even a moment. As for the father-in-law, he left the Imperial Study Room with a lot of worries and met several palace maids waiting anxiously at the corner.

He sighed slightly and said, "Concubines, please pay attention. Cao Shuixiu will enter the palace soon to investigate the case, so don't get caught."

"Yes, thank you father-in-law."

The maids followed the order, but this father-in-law, on the other hand, had a hint of sadness flashing through his cloudy eyes.

He seemed to know something.

……

Cao An didn't think about what happened in the palace for the time being.

But he was still very curious about this case. He wanted to find out how the prisoner staged the fake suicide.

Looking around, after hearing his alarmist warning, the current police officers all retreated five feet away, no one wanted to cause trouble.

That's just right, he can go in and see the scene again.

……

The second autopsy was performed, and this time it was more detailed.

The director's body smelled slightly of alcohol. He held a dagger in his left hand and inserted it deeply into his abdomen. His right hand stretched out and fell on the table.

Normal people would cover their injuries or fight back when attacked.

There is also a new fragmentation mark on the edge in front of the desk, which is similar to the powder in the palm of Zhangyuan's right hand.

[Corpse Suspicious Plan], activate.

This was the first time that Cao An activated this talent. A picture suddenly appeared in his mind and he began to simulate the behavior of the leader during his lifetime.

……

In the simulation of the scene, the director should be a little drunk and sitting in front of the desk to rest.

The enemy came from nowhere and plunged a dagger into his abdomen.

The commander was attacked and slapped in front of him with his backhand, but the blow missed and only shattered the edge of the table.

After the slap, Zhang Yuan seemed to be unable to get up and call for help outside. He could only stretch out his hand, as if he wanted to hold the wooden box on the corner of the table.

The scene ends here, the leader is dead.

……

This skill is good!

He can roughly simulate suspected actions based on the situation on site, which makes it easier for him to make a judgment. .

It’s just that there seem to be only the so-called three incriminating letters in this wooden box, right?

Or maybe there was something else in this box? It's a pity that it was taken away in the end?

This also means that the prisoner must have been at the scene when he killed the leader. So how did he get out in the end?

After thinking about it, Cao An asked the deputy commander on the side: "How did you find out that the commander was dead?"

The Vice-President looked like an emotionless machine, holding the scroll indifferently. He only spoke when he heard the question: "The Vice-President made an appointment with us for a meeting at noon."

"Oh? He also made an appointment for a meeting?"

"Yes, but we never saw him go there, so we found him. Then we smelled the smell of blood and forced his way in."

The doors and windows were all sealed, and even the deputy chief had to break in. I guess the thief didn't have the ability to pick the lock and get in.

There should be some mechanism somewhere. Cao An looked around in the room.

Just at this time, Pang Shi came back, and it only took half an hour to rush back and forth.

"Do you use flying to achieve this efficiency?"

Cao An estimated that it would take an hour or two to rush back to the palace, meet with the Holy Emperor, and then rush back. Pang Shi's efficiency was really high!
  Pang Shi glared at him fiercely: "Stop talking nonsense. The Holy One has decreed that you have full authority to investigate this case. I will give you a gold medal. Within seven days, you can come and go anywhere at will."

"I accept the decree."

I really got a gold medal!
  Mo Xiaoming, who was in the distance, took half a step back. Cao An was getting more and more scary, so it was better not to provoke him.

How many royal orders does this person have? No matter who you are, you will have to peel off the skin if you shoot him.

Just as he was trying to find a reason to run away, Cao An suddenly stared at him again: "Mo Shaoqing, where are you going?"

"Oh, I still have a case. Since you've taken over here, I won't bother you." Mo Xiaoming didn't want to tangle with Cao An when he received the emperor's order, let alone see Cao An in the limelight.

But Cao An just wants you to see it!

"Won't you witness my style of investigating cases?"

"Style?" Mo Xiaoming was a little surprised. Is there a style in this investigation?

"Of course I have style. My style is to play big." Cao An showed a kind smile on his face.

He asked Pang Shi to seek an order, not just to enter the harem, but also to thoroughly investigate the entire Privy Council.

"Pass my order. All officials of the Privy Council must gather here! Pang Shi, mobilize the imperial army and block all roads outside the Privy Council. No one can leave today."
