Chapter 279: Reporting

Although he came to an exact judgment, Fang Zi'an did not dare to act rashly. Everything is based on one's own judgment, and there is no definite evidence. The mark of the climb on the wall should not be used as definite evidence of arson, that would not be enough.

Confirmation of this matter requires the arrest of the arsonist on the spot before the truth can be revealed. Moreover, even if the arsonist is captured, the next thing is actually not so easy. Since the arsonist came for himself, then who was behind it was almost ready to come out. However, in the current situation, can I really burn this fire on those behind it? If you are not careful, will you fall into a trap of the other party and become an act of hitting a stone with an egg?

With Fang Zi'an's previous temperament, he was naturally not afraid of heaven and earth, and if this kind of thing happened, he would have to fight back with all his might, and he would not hesitate to break the sky. However, it was before, and I walked alone between the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and I had nothing to worry about. But now I have a bond. Not only because he has a family and a child who is about to be born, he must be responsible for them, but also because Fang Zian actually has a sense of responsibility and mission for this era. The more he comes into contact with and the deeper he touches, the more Fang Zi'an has a sense of mission and responsibility to change the status quo.

This is not a slogan, but a deep feeling and active need in Fang Zi'an's heart. Many of the people Fang Zi'an came into contact with were people from Nandu, who fled their homeland and most of them had miserable backgrounds. The shame of the Great Song Dynasty led to the tragedy of thousands of families, leaving deep scars on the hearts of thousands of people. The people of the Great Song Dynasty who lived with such scars and shame were actually bleak and sad in their mental outlook and hearts, inferior and helpless. If the knot in the heart is not removed, there will never be a day to raise your eyebrows. The people of the Great Song Dynasty, who were burdened with a life of shame, would never have a day of rejuvenation. If all this is to change, we must be like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, wave their troops to the north, recover the rivers and mountains, and be disgraced. And all of this needs to be more cautious when helping the prince to get the throne at this moment, not to do things with enthusiasm, but to be more wise and strategic. After all, the opponent is too strong, and if you die before you get out of the game, it will be a joke.

……

Inside the Qingbo Gate, Lin'an Mansion.

At noon, the sun was scorching. The blue bricks on the ground in the square in front of the government were hot, and there was no one in the square in front of the government. No one wants to stay in the square at this time, it will be an absolute torment. Even the soldiers of the Lin'an Mansion patrolling in front of the government yamen retreated into the shade of the trees in the corner of the square at this moment to escape the scorching heat of noon.

The yamen was almost empty, and it was also very hot in the public housing of the yamen at the moment. It was lunch break at the moment, and most of the people refused to stay in the government except for the officials and petty officials who had to stay behind on duty. Located in the public room of the Criminal Investigation Division of the West Courtyard of the Imperial Palace, Song Xiang, the criminal officer of the Criminal Investigation Department of Lin'an Prefecture, sat alone behind the public case, looked through the file on the desk, and concentrated on making key records, studying and judging the case at hand.

Such scenes are commonplace for the rest of the Division. Song Tixing is a madman who does things, except for eating and sleeping, he seems to be thinking about the case all the time, investigating the scene, always energetic, always in a hurry, and refuses to stop. From the subordinate officials to the officials in the Criminal Division, to the officials who arrest the officials, they are actually complaining. However, there is nothing they can do. Because after getting along for a long time, they knew that Song Tixing was not actually for promotion and wealth, not to show himself, his purpose was actually very simple, that is, to arrest the suspect and bring the traitor to justice. So, he has nothing to blame.

Song Xiang grasped a key detail of this case, understood all the causes and consequences, and suddenly opened up in his heart, with a smile on his face. Stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat beads on his face, picked up the brush to record it, and when he was satisfied with the teacup to drink tea, he suddenly looked at the door in surprise. At some point, there was a man standing.

"You...... How did you get in here? Song Xiang stood up in astonishment and asked.

The visitor smiled and bowed, "Lord Song, Fang Zi'an is polite." I didn't sneak in, I walked in with a swagger. But no one stopped me, and I didn't break in. ”

Song Xiang knew the situation in the yamen, and at this moment, the people in the yamen were afraid that they were all lazy, and what Fang Zi'an said should be true.

"What is Lord Fang doing here?" Song Xiang shouted in a deep voice.

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Lord Song, don't you invite me to sit down and have a cup of tea?" It's too hot, and when I come to you from my yamen, I'm really going to shed a layer of skin. ”

Song Xiang also realized his faux pas, even if he had a grudge against this prescription, the case last time was still full of doubts in his heart, and this Fang Zi'an was the biggest suspect, but he hadn't found key evidence at present, and he couldn't treat Fang Zi'an like this. After all, Fang Zi'an was also an official of the imperial court, a defense officer of the Yamen of the Defense Army.

"Lord Fang, please sit down, my tea here is vulgar, but it can't compare to the good tea of your yamen. If you want to drink, the official will make you a drink, but don't dislike it. Song Xiang said slowly.

"I'm dying of thirst, do you still pick and choose? Don't dare to work Song Ti to be punished, I will come myself. Fang Zi'an didn't wait for Song Xiang to answer, so he took the teapot and teacup and poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and poured it down. Then I had another cup, another cup, three cups in a row, and then I breathed a long sigh of relief.

Song Xiang frowned and looked at him, this guy didn't treat himself as an outsider. The appearance of drinking tea is also very vulgar, there is a tanhualang, and he is completely a vulgar martial artist. However, Song Xiang was more concerned about the reason why this person suddenly came here.

"Lord Fang, why are you here here? Did you remember any suspicious details about the arson case last time, and you want to discuss it with the official. Song Xiang asked in a deep voice.

Fang Zi'an sat down on the chair, took out a folding fan to fan the wind, and said with a smile, "Wasn't the case closed last time?" Why did Song mention that case? ”

Song Xiang sneered: "Is the case closed?" You may think it's closed, but it seems to me that the case is far from closed. I said I'd get to the bottom of it. ”

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "That's it, I don't care what you Lord Song want to do, you just check." But today I came to Lord Song for something else. I'm here to report the crime. ”

Song Xiang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Report the case?" ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Yes, on such a hot day, is it coming to you to catch up?" Actually, I didn't come to you specifically, I was going to report to Governor Zhao, but he was not in the yamen, so I had to come to you to mention the punishment. The Criminal Investigation Department of Lin'an Prefecture also has the responsibility to accept cases, and it is okay to find you. ”

Song Xiang frowned and said, "Do you Lord Fang still have a case that can't be solved?" ”

Fang Zi'an said: "Song Ti's punishment can exalt me." Fang has no skills. Besides, the authority of the Yamen of our defense army is limited, but I do not have the right to investigate and judge cases, and I have no such obligation. ”

Song Xiang nodded and said, "What case do you want to report?" ”

Fang Zi'an put away the folding fan, straightened up and said, "I suspect that someone in the city deliberately set fire to disturb the security of the capital. I would like to ask your government to arrest the murderer, restore the peace of the city, and protect the safety of people's lives and property. ”

"Arson?" Song Xiang said in surprise.

"Yes, but this arson is not arson, so don't confuse Song Ti's punishment with the last case. One yard to one yard. This time someone really set it on fire. ”

Fang Zi'an said about the frequent fires in the second half of the night in the near future, and informed Song Xiang of the footprints found at the scene of the garment shop yesterday. Of course, Fang Zi'an would not tell Song Xiang about the process and conclusion that someone wanted to target him from his analysis, and coming to Song Xiang to report the case this time was the countermeasure that Fang Zi'an came up with. This matter can be investigated by the Criminal Division, and he can be a bystander. If the Criminal Division finds out something, it will sit back and enjoy the results, and there is no need to think about the follow-up response. What's more, Fang Zi'an knows that this Song Xiang Song Ti is a master of investigating cases, and he will definitely bite it to the death. That's 10,000 times better than looking into it yourself. And even if Song Xiang found out the sore spot of some people, what those people were looking for was Song Xiang's bad luck. Although this plan to lead the water to the east is somewhat damaged, Fang Zi'an has no moral pressure, both public and private, Fang Zi'an doesn't care what Song Xiang is about to face.

Song Xiang listened to Fang Zi'an's description, frowned, and said, "You think that someone set fire just because of the increase in fires and the so-called climbing footprints at the scene?" That's too arbitrary. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled, "I'm not specifically investigating cases, I don't dare to conclude that someone must have set it on fire." I just came to report it, I said, I just suspected. As for whether someone set the fire or not, it is up to you to judge Song Tixing. I brought the records of the fires and firefighting in July of our defense army in the past ten years for Song Ti's judgment and reference. As for whether the climbing marks at the fire scene were the work of the arsonist, I am not sure. I came to report this matter today, and if Lord Song felt that my suspicion was wrong, it would be the best. But if it is found in the future that someone really set the fire and caused a catastrophe, I will not be responsible, because I have already come to report the crime, and it is your responsibility. ”

Song Xiang glared at Fang Zi'an angrily, feeling that this person was simply shameless. He also said this kind of thing directly to his face, without any tactfulness. However, Song Xiang also understood that what Fang Zi'an said was the truth. After reporting the case, the responsibility lies with the criminal division, and if he misjudges, something will happen in the future, and he will naturally be unable to escape the blame. Fang Zi'an's side was not responsible.

But for Song Xiang, no matter how much he has an opinion about Fang Zi'an, how suspicious and disgusted he is, Song Xiang still takes the case seriously. If someone did set the fire, it would not be a trivial matter. It is a serious crime to deliberately set fire to Lin'an City, and it is even more unthinkable if it causes serious consequences. So Song Xiang is cautious about this matter.

Fang Zi'an took out the registration record of the yamen and handed it over, and Song Xiang began to compare and investigate in person. The difference between the previous record and this year's record is not difficult to notice, let alone a person like Song Xiang who is skilled in surveying. Soon, Song Xiang felt that Fang Zi'an was not talking nonsense.
