Sitting on the chair in the study, Chen Xiaoting kept thinking about how there was a loophole there, why did Chen Licheng die directly.

He has been in this state for half an hour now, and the three Zeng Chun who stayed in the study have made the study very messy during the search.

At this time, Zhao Ying also came in from outside the study with a calm face, walked up to Chen Xiaoting and bowed down and said, "My lord, the Chen family explained that Chen Licheng has nothing abnormal in the past few days, and this morning's meal is the same as usual!" ”

"It's just that after breakfast, Chen Licheng said that he was unwell, so he didn't go to the mansion and went to the study alone!"

Hearing this report, Chen Xiaoting said: "There is no one to serve in the study? ”

Zhao Ying replied: "According to the two maids, Chen Licheng drove them out when he entered the study, and later these two people came to invite Chen Licheng to lunch, only to find that the master was dead!" ”

The two maids were deeply involved in this matter, and Chen Xiaoting continued to ask: "These two people found that Chen Licheng was hanged?" ”

Zhao Ying nodded and replied: "When these two people entered the room, they saw Chen Licheng hanging on the beam, and they were so frightened that they fled immediately, and then told Mrs. Chen at this time, and then the Chen family took Chen Licheng down!" ”

That's how it goes, but there are certainly details to dig into, but obviously not now.

At this time, Zeng Chun also came to Chen Xiaoting's side and said, "My lord, I have searched all over the study room, and there is nothing suspicious!" ”

If he didn't gain anything, how could he explain it to the yamen?

Glancing at the study that had been turned into a mess, Chen Xiaoting suddenly found a place, and he basically didn't pass it at this time.

So he pointed to Chen Licheng's body and asked, "It's also searched here?" ”

There was really no search here, and without Chen Xiaoting's order, no one cared about tampering with Chen Licheng's body.

Zeng Chun hurriedly came to Chen Licheng's corpse, and first looked carefully on the desk, but there was no result.

Just when Zeng Chun wanted to report that he had not found anything, Chen Xiaoting had already walked to the desk and reached out to touch Chen Licheng's pocket.

His actions were originally to check and fill in the gaps, but who knew that he really touched something.

When he dragged things out, he realized that it was a written letter, and it was still in an envelope.

So Chen Xiaoting immediately opened it to see, but the content inside was not as suspenseful as he thought.

This is a simple letter of repentance, Chen Licheng said in the letter that he was born poor, so he colluded with Yang Yuanjiao and did a lot of illegal things for the silver.

In the letter, Chen Licheng also mentioned that it was he who instigated Yang Yuanjiao to behead the Lin family in order to earn more silver, but he didn't expect to cause such a big turmoil.

The letter bluntly said that when he learned about the methods of the Yellow Court to interrogate Yang Yuanjiao, Chen Licheng went home in a panic all day long, and until today he could not bear the pressure and hanged himself.

In the end, Chen Licheng also said in the letter that all this is his sin, and it has nothing to do with his family and friends, so don't involve the innocent.

Although the statements in the letter corroborated Yang Yuanjiao's confession, Chen Xiaoting always felt that things were not so simple.

If this is just a case caused by corruption, why did Chen Licheng commit suicide? There is no such severe punishment in the Da Ming Law.

Chen Licheng died so quickly, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he is deliberately covering up something, and it is difficult not to make people guess something.

But to continue to investigate, there is an urgent need to find new clues, but unfortunately there are no clues until now.

At this moment, I saw Zhang Ertie break in from outside the study, and said eagerly: "My lord, Lord Baihu and Huang Gonggong have arrived!" ”

Chen Xiaoting hurriedly went outside the study to greet him, and when he arrived at the door, he saw that Huang Ting and Zhou Wenzhu had already arrived outside.

Before Chen Xiaoting could speak, Huang Ting asked first, "Where is Chen Licheng?" How did he die? How long have you been dead? ”

This must be a question that Huang Ting thought about on the road, Chen Xiaoting didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately replied: "Back to my father-in-law, Chen Licheng hanged himself in the study, and it is roughly estimated that it has been half an hour!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Ting immediately stopped and said to Zhou Wenzhu beside him: "Zhou Baihu, the people in your yamen, I'm afraid it's time to clean it up!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Wenzhu knew that Huang Ting suspected that someone in the hundred households had leaked the news.

His subordinates were suspected, and Zhou Wenzhu was of course very uncomfortable in his heart, but he said respectfully on the surface: "My father-in-law has taught me that if there is really someone in the yamen who eats inside and outside, I will definitely find him out!" ”

In fact, this is not the first person to say this to him, because of Liu Yucai's personnel before, Shen Yue also said these words to Zhou Wenzhu.

But Huang Ting's attitude at this time made Chen Xiaoting feel puzzled.

When he heard the news of Chen Licheng's death, Huang Ting's performance was inevitably too bland.

Chen Licheng's death means that the clue is broken, maybe when the truth is never revealed, he should be very angry.

followed Huang Ting all the way into the study, and after stopping next to Chen Licheng's corpse and looking at it for a while, Huang Ting said: "Two days ago, he and Li Changshan came to visit our family, who would have thought that he would die now!" ”

didn't have time to understand the profound meaning of Huang Ting's words, at this time, Chen Xiaoting took out the suicide note and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, this is the suicide note found from Chen Licheng!" ”

Huang Ting took it casually, and after taking a quick look, he said, "It matches Yang Yuanjiao's words, it's good!"

Chen Xiaoting wasn't sure if Huang Ting knew anything, but he still reminded: "Father-in-law, my subordinates think that there are many doubts about this matter......

But before Chen Xiaoting could say that there were those doubts, Huang Ting asked: "But now that Chen Licheng is dead, how can I investigate?" ”

Chen Xiaoting couldn't answer Huang Ting's words, but the other party's negative attitude made him feel very puzzled.

Huang Ting's attitude towards the case before and after has changed so much because of the death of Chen Licheng.

So much so that now Chen Xiaoting can't tell whether Huang Ting wants to solve the case or not.

As if seeing through the doubts in Chen Xiaoting's heart, Huang Ting's feminine face showed a smile and said: "I will be honest and criminal in my respect, and don't play too much smart!" ”

Although Huang Ting said this to himself, Chen Xiaoting always had a feeling that Huang Ting also said this to himself.

After carefully scanning Chen Licheng's study, Huang Ting only sighed: "Although power and wealth are good, they must also be taken in a good way!" ”

After saying this, Huang Ting turned around, and then walked directly outside the study, and Chen Licheng's suicide note was also carried in Huang Ting's arms.

After seeing Huang Ting leave, Chen Xiaoting said to Zhou Wenzhu: "My lord, what is next...... What should I do? ”

Zhou Wenzhu's eyes were deep, and he said: "Do what you have to do, Gonggong Huang is right...... Let's just act in a proper manner so that we don't make mistakes! ”

Today, the two of them were chattering, and Chen Xiaoting said, "My lord, do you want to check it down?" ”

Zhou Wenzhu smiled and said: "There are some things that we can't see clearly at our level, so we just need to do what Huang Gonggong wants!" ”

"You say...... What did Huang Gonggong mean just now, is it to check or not? Zhou Wenzhu asked rhetorically.

Listening to Zhou Wenzhu's words, Chen Xiaoting couldn't tell if he knew something, but he knew that he shouldn't ask.

Looking back at the source of this incident, Hu Weide, who has been poisoned, is likely to have died because he checked what he shouldn't have investigated and knew what he shouldn't know.

After thinking about it, Chen Xiaoting said: "Since you don't investigate, then Chen Licheng's death will be closed by suicide in fear of crime?" ”

Zhou Wenzhu said: "That's it, it just so happens that Yang Yuanjiao also confessed, this is an iron case!" ”
