Chapter 238: Case Library
The more time passes, the less time Chen Xiaoting and Huang Zhien have together.
This is exactly what Xiong Gui is willing to see, so that he can exert influence on Huang Zhien without worrying about Chen Xiaoting making trouble on the side.
Early in the morning, Chen Xiaoting got up early and took his lieutenants to the case storehouse.
Recently, the people of Yue'an Baihu have been panicking, and the point system has been almost abandoned, and many people have not been to Baihu for a few days.
However, because the case is very important, there are still people on duty at this time, it is Pan Qingxiang and several of his officers.
When Chen Xiaoting rushed over, Pan Qingxiang, who was on duty, immediately stood up and greeted him, and said respectfully to Chen Xiaoting: "See your lord!"
Chen Xiaoting's face was calm, and after motioning for him to get up, he said, "Should you be on duty today?"
Pan Qingxiang and another lieutenant were in charge of the case, but that person had been bedridden in recent days, so Pan Qingxiang had been in charge for half a month.
Pan Qingxiang said: "It's down!"
After looking up at the plaque of the "Case Library", Chen Xiaoting said, "Go in and have a look!"
The incident happened in the case library, and if he wanted to find a breakthrough, Chen Xiaoting felt that it was necessary to come here.
If he still can't find a breakthrough here, then Chen Xiaoting has only one way, to do it to the people who entertained Fang Wenkang on the tenth night of the first lunar month.
Under severe torture, as long as these people confess that they were instructed by Han Yu, then things will be simpler.
However, this method cannot be used lightly, because the involvement of these gentry is too large, and the slightest carelessness can easily cause a larger-scale backlash.
At this time, Pan Qingxiang asked: "My lord, do you want everyone to go in, or ......?"
"What? What do you suggest? Chen Xiaoting asked.
Pan Qingxiang said: "I am asking these questions, it is just convenient to record, and the people in and out must be recorded!"
I have to say that Pan Qingxiang is indeed a sincere person, and he has not forgotten his own work at this time.
The case library is an important place, and it is not appropriate to go in too many people, so Chen Xiaoting pointed to Liu Jianping and Mu Changge: "Just the two of them go in with me, everyone else is guarding here, and no one is allowed to enter!"
Here, Chen Xiaoting is mainly targeting Xiong Gui, he is afraid that these people will come over to make trouble.
And things have developed to this point, the evidence collected by Huang Zhien is enough, and the reported documents have been sent.
To put it simply, there is not much time left for Chen Xiaoting.
After Pan Qingxiang made a record, Chen Xiaoting took Liu Jianping and Mu Changge into the case library, and what caught his eye was rows of shelves.
There are various booklets on it, and some of them are separate boxes with seals.
Pan Qingxiang followed in, he pointed to an open space in the warehouse and said, "My lord, that night, the box containing the answer sheet was placed here!" ”
Chen Xiaoting nodded, and asked, "Are there any other exits in this warehouse?" ”
Pan Qingxiang immediately replied: "There is no other exit except the gate!" ”
"Oh...... Then you go out first, I'll take a look inside! Chen Xiaoting said slowly.
Although he didn't know what Chen Xiaoting was going to do, this was Shangguan's order, and Pan Qingxiang could only obey it.
After Pan Qingxiang left, Liu Jianping on the side spoke: "My lord, the evidence collected by Huang Zongqi recently can be extremely unfavorable to Fang Baihu!" ”
"After these evidences are handed over by them, the Thousand Households can directly take people!" The shepherd song followed.
Chen Xiaoting didn't know these truths, so he had to speed up the progress.
I only heard Chen Xiaoting say: "Okay, you take a closer look in this warehouse to find out if there is anything suspicious." ”
Two days ago, Chen Xiaoting went to the case library with Huang Zhien, but because there were many people, he didn't check the situation here carefully.
The case library was actually not large, and within a few minutes, Liu Jianping and the others turned back, their faces full of helplessness.
"My lord, there is only one exit here, which is the gate of the case library, and nothing else has been found!" Liu Jianping said.
But at this time, Chen Xiaoting said: "It's all done here?" ”
"It's over, and there's really no suspicious signs!" Liu Jianping said solemnly.
Chen Xiaoting looked at the roof, and then said, "Have you seen it above?" ”
After pondering for a while, Liu Jianping said: "What do you mean, these people came in from the roof? ”
Not to mention, Liu Jianping also thinks it is possible, although it is easy to be found by doing so.
"Go find a ladder and take a look at the beams first!" Chen Xiaoting said calmly.
It is easy to be found on the roof, Chen Xiaoting doesn't want to be known by Xiong Gui, and when the time comes, he will cause trouble again.
If the person really entered through the roof, then there were signs of the tiles on it being flipped, and it was natural to conclude that someone else had entered.
Soon, Liu Jianping found a ladder, and the three of them went up to the beams of the house one after another, not to mention that the beams of this house are quite high, and they are all made of large wood that is thick enough, and there is no problem in standing on them.
Although the case vault is often cleaned, no one cares about the five or six meter-high beams, so a thick layer of ash is spread on it, and there are still some cobwebs scattered in between.
It is precisely in this kind of environment that it is easiest to find traces of people, so Chen Xiaoting said: "Be careful, except for the tiles, don't forget to look at the traces under your feet!" ”
After Liu Jianping and the others received the order, the entire case library fell silent at once, and the three of them searched carefully.
For Chen Xiaoting, if it hasn't been discovered here, then things are really tricky.
Time passed minute by minute, and when Chen Xiaoting was already sweating profusely, he suddenly heard Liu Jianping's voice say: "My lord, there is a discovery here!" ”
Chen Xiaoting moved over the beam step by step, and saw Liu Jianping pointing to the beam in the corner and said, "Look, my lord, there is dust everywhere next to it, but it is very clean here!" ”
Chen Xiaoting looked around, although the light here was not very good, he still saw a clean piece on the beam in the corner.
In addition, there were a few staggered prints next to it, so Chen Xiaoting asked, "Those footprints are yours?" ”
Liu Jianping shook his head and said, "My lord, I just came here, and the footprints are not mine!" ”
Chen Xiaoting asked again: "Is there any trace of turning on the tiles on it?" ”
In fact, after such a long time, the beams were searched all over the house.
Liu Jianping and Mu Changge both shook their heads, which made Chen Xiaoting even more puzzled.
I only heard him say: "There are footprints and traces of people in this corner, which means that someone is hiding here on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and he is the one who replaced the answer sheet!" ”
"But since this man didn't come in from the roof, where would he come in?"
Liu Jianping and Mu Changge also fell into deep thought about this question, but they had no clue for a while.
But at this time, I heard Liu Jianping say: "Look, my lord, these footprints ...... It seems to be official boots! ”
Chen Xiaoting's heart was shocked, and when he looked closely, he found that the footprints printed on the beams of the house were indeed official boots.
Not only that, but at this time, Chen Xiaoting also found that there were several black spots next to the footprints, which were suspected to be ink.
"Official boots, ink ......," Chen Xiaoting said.
"Your Excellency, have you made a discovery?" Liu Jianping couldn't help asking.
Chen Xiaoting smiled and said: "The official boots this person is wearing may be from these hundred households, so will he come in through the door of the case storehouse?" ”
Of course, it is possible, but Liu Jianping and Mu Changge dare not imagine who would have such the courage to come in and make ghosts in the open.
"Let's go, let's go down!" Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice.
