Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 574 Doubt

Wang Mang smiled: "Well, let me make a hypothesis. If Li Han hanged himself before the shipwreck in Hangou, would you still think that the shipwreck was the only reason for his death?"

Li Yuanfang replied without thinking: "Of course not. If this is the case, then there must be another reason for Li Han's death."

Wang Mang nodded: "In the palindrome, Cui Liang did not specify that Li Han's suicide happened after the shipwreck in Hangou. Tell me, does the above possibility exist?"

Li Yuanfang was stunned for a long time, then nodded and said, "If you say that, that possibility does exist."

"That's why I said that the exact time of Li Han's suicide is very critical in this case. But it's just not mentioned in the palindrome."

"Then what is the ambiguity in the palindrome other than the exact time of Li Han's death?"

Wang Mang said: "The governor Cui Liang said in his reply that the first person who found Li Han hanged himself was Lu Jiying, the magistrate of Shanyang County."

"Lu Jiying!"

Li Yuanfang was taken aback.

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, it is Lu Jiying who is with us."

Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and did not speak.

Wang Mang went on to say: "The palindrome said that Lu Jiying rushed to the Shanyang Hotel late at night to find Li Han, but found that he had hanged himself to death. This second ambiguity appeared: Why did Lu Jiying go to see Li Han late at night? ?”

Li Yuanfang said: "Thinking about it, thinking about it, I have something important to report back."

Wang Mang said: "Well said. These four words are very important.

You know the rules of the officialdom, when the Shangguan judges the matter, and when the child is fed, he will return.

In other words, after the feeding time is the rest time.

What's so important about this Lu Jiying to bother Shangguan late at night? "

Li Yuanfang was stunned.

Wang Mang continued: "It can be concluded that this matter must be very urgent, otherwise Lu Jiying, the county magistrate of Shanyang, would never have gone to see Li Han late at night."

"good."

"Li Han is a doctor of the Ministry of Water, and he was ordered to Yangzhou this time to inspect the Caoqu and investigate the shipwreck case in Hangou.

Then it can be concluded that when Lu Jiying went to him, what he said must be related to the shipwreck in Caoqu and Hangou. Do you admit this? "

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Of course. The government orders and civil affairs of Shanyang County are handled by Cui Liang, the governor of Yangzhou, and there is no need to report to Li Han."

Wang Mang said: "Very good. Then, what major incident happened in Caoqu and Hangou that night, so that Lu Jiying had to meet Li Han late at night?"

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "The shipwreck in Hangou! You mean that Lu Jiying went to Li Han to tell him about the shipwreck in Hangou!"

Wang Mang said: "Besides this, what else can Lu Jiying go to the hotel to meet with late at night?"

Li Yuanfang kept nodding: "Not bad, not bad."

Wang Mang said: "Then, there are two situations.

The first one is that before Lu Jiying arrived, Li Han didn't know that the shipwreck happened in Hangou.

According to your conclusion, the shipwreck in Hangou was the cause of Li Han's suicide, so this matter is very strange. When Lu Jiying arrived at the Shanyang Hotel, he found that Li Han had hanged himself to death.

In your words, he didn't know that Hangou was overturned, so why would he choose a dead end? "

Li Yuanfang gasped suddenly.

"If this inference is true, do you still think that Li Han's death was caused by the shipwreck in Hangou?"

Li Yuanfang shook his head slowly and said: "Jing Yang, if it is true that Li Han died before the ship capsized in Hangou, as you said, then this case will be very strange.

Why did he commit suicide?How could he leave the death letter behind?At that time, he didn't even know that the shipwreck happened in Hangou. "

Wang Mang nodded: "Not bad."

Li Yuanfang said: "Jing Yang, what is the second possibility you mentioned?"

Wang Mang said: "The second possibility is that someone told Li Han about the shipwreck in Hangou in advance, which caused him to leave a book and hang himself."

Li Yuanfang said: "Yes, there is such a possibility."

"Then, the third ambiguity in the palindrome appears again: Who told Li Han about the shipwreck in Hangou before Lu Jiying?"

Li Yuanfang thought for a while and said, "This is very important, and it will directly affect the judgment of the case."

Wang Mang nodded and said: "Yes. This is what I said, the ambiguity of Cui Liang's palindrome. If you think about it, it is not surprising that the three most critical links were ignored in a case. ?"

"Very strange indeed."

"The fourth ambiguity is: Cui Liang led people to search the Shanyang Hotel, and found the death letter left by Li Han and two letters of 20 taels of silver issued by Hongtong Cabinet.

Cui Liang sent the two letters as evidence to the cabinet, but why didn't he send Li Han's suicide note? "

"That's right. That's really an omission."

"Omissions! It's not that simple.

As evidence, this suicide note is the most important.

First of all, it allows me to judge whether the letter was written by Li Han himself.

Secondly, Li Han's mentality at that time can be analyzed from the lines.

In the end, why is such an important evidence not reported to Dage Department? "

Li Yuanfang thought about it carefully, and said slowly: "It seems that Li Han's death was not easy."

Wang Mang said: "The four points mentioned above are the most critical points in this case.

As a governor, Cui Liang would not understand, so why did he ignore all this?
Was this done by accident, or on purpose? "

Li Yuanfang looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, do you suspect that Lu Jiying has something to do with this matter? Then why didn't you speak out on the spot!"

Wang Mang shook his head: "Lu Jiying is not a simple person. He looks rough on the outside, but in fact he is as careful as a hair. He is not as simple as we see."

Li Yuanfang said with a sense of comprehension: "I understand, Jing Yang, you are also testing him by arranging him and Ning's together?"

Wang Mang smiled slightly: "I can't say it's a temptation, I just feel very strange about his appearance."

Suddenly, the boatman's chant came from outside: "Let's set sail! Hey, hey..."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, they stood up, walked out of the door, stood on the side of the boat and looked down, and saw the boat slowly leaving the pier and sailing towards the center of the canal.

The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the wide river orange.

Among the noisy crowd on the pier, a person slowly turned around and looked at the distant boat. It was Taoist Longfeng.

The setting sun was like blood, shining on his face, and there was a sinister smile on his cold face.

Not far away, a man wearing a bamboo hat stood quietly behind him. Although he was wearing a bamboo hat, his fat body still made people recognize him at a glance as the man in blue shirt from the headquarters of the Iron Hands.
