This case involved a wide range of people, and it took him several hard work and a lot of effort to finally catch a clue that the Changxingfang arson case was actually concluded in such a quick situation, which made Sun Tu unable to come back to his senses for a long time, and his heart was full of doubts.

It's not that he can't accept such a result, because he is afraid that he will be robbed of the credit, but because the development of this case is really too fast, and it is a little too smooth.

The trial of Han Changzhou in the hall just now was surprisingly smooth, not only did it sound reasonable, but even these main culprits and accomplices were extremely cooperative, as if they had already had a script. And more importantly, everything they said was the clues that Sun Tu had before, no more, no less, just until Xu Tieying was here, he carried all the charges, and it didn't seem to have any problems and flaws.

But because of this, Sun Tu felt that it was too strange for this case to be concluded in this way, as if someone was manipulating all this behind his back, so that this arson case could not be investigated further. But after all, this is just a trace of doubt in his heart, and he can't come up with any evidence clues that can be refuted, this feeling is too uncomfortable, like a bone in his throat, which makes Sun Tu's heart feel sullen for a while.

But everyone in the hall didn't care about his thoughts, at this time, the officers had already escorted the relevant prisoners to the prison, and the others also dispersed, even Han Changzhou also walked out of the hall with a relaxed smile, pacing out of the hall with steady steps, wanting to go back to his public room to rest for a while.

At this time, Sun Tu suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way: "Fu Yin, the lower official has something unclear, and I ask Fu Yin to give him advice." ”

"Huh?" The smile on Han Fuyin's face suddenly flickered, and he looked at him carefully a few times before recognizing him: "Are you Sun Tu Sun Dutou?" But what's the doubt? ”

In fact, even Sun Tu himself couldn't find any problems related to the case at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Fu Yin, does the lower official feel that it is too hasty to be in such a hurry to conclude this case?" Xia Guan has been investigating this case before, and he always feels that there is something else hidden in it......"

"Sun Dutou, are you questioning this mansion?" Han Changzhou suddenly sank his face and interrupted him a little unpleasantly. This made Sun Tu's heart sink, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Xia Guan doesn't dare, Xia Guan just feels that there may be another conspiracy unsolved in this case, so ......"

"Sun Dutou, this official knows that this case was investigated by you before, so when you see someone arresting the murderer one step ahead of you, you feel a lot of resentment, but I don't want you to say such things." Han Changzhou snorted and said, "This Changxingfang arson case is just a disaster caused by revenge, how can there be any conspiracy?" And although all the physical evidence was destroyed by the fire, there are still a lot of human witnesses, and their testimony, as well as the confessions of several prisoners just now, have shown everything, what else do you have to be suspicious? ”

Sun Tu's heart spun rapidly, thinking about what was left out of this case, and suddenly he had an idea: "Before, Huang Qi and the others had always refused to admit that they were arson, and they also mentioned that Fang Boguang induced them to go to Zhang Laosi's house to set fire to it behind his back. But as a result, he was not seen in the court today, and Fang Boyan, as his brother, was involved in this case, and even arrested the key criminal Xu Tieying, which is really suspicious. ”

"It turns out that you are suspicious of Fang Boguang, then come with this official." Han Fuyin said, turned around and walked out, Sun Tu felt a little strange, but still followed. Soon, the two of them came to a secluded corner, where there was a hut and two officers were guarded outside.

Seeing Fu Yin's sudden arrival, the two messengers hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Han Changzhou just waved his hand and asked them to open the door and let them in. Then Sun Tu saw a corpse lying upright on the door panel in the middle of the room, which made his heart tighten, and he had already guessed the identity of the other party.

As an errand officer lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, the corpse's appearance was revealed. Although Sun Tu had not met Fang Boguang, he could already guess the identity of the corpse just by looking at his appearance and age that were six or seven points similar to Fang Boyan: "Why did Fang Boguang die?" ”

"He committed suicide in fear of sin, and he also left behind a surviving family to explain the crimes he had committed. The suicide note said that he was forced by Xu Tieying, so he had to think about lighting this fire with the hands of Huang Qi and the others. It was only later that he was afraid in his heart and was afraid that my Kaifeng Mansion would find out the case, so he left the bereaved family to commit suicide. It was precisely because Fang Boyan saw this bereaved family that he complained to the government, and we sent people to arrest the main culprit Xu Tieying. Han Changzhou explained casually.

Sun Tu was shocked again, how did things become like this? Fang Boguang, who was originally very suspicious, actually died, and his death actually made things smoother, not to mention Fang Boyan, even Xu Tieying's exposure was logical.

No, there is still a little contradiction, Sun Tu suddenly thought of Xu Tieying's confession during the court trial just now that he had heard that Huang Qi and the others had the intention of arson, and then pushed the boat down the river to commit a big case, how did he change here?

Han Changzhou said as if he could see through his thoughts: "This official knows what you are worried about, but it is actually very simple, this matter involves my Kaifeng Mansion's subordinates, and this official does not want to cause more trouble." What's more, Fang Boguang has died to atone for his crimes, and he was forced to come to this point, and he didn't commit the crime himself, so he was not involved. However, at that time, the official will severely punish Fang's family members for other crimes, and their family property will also be confiscated to rebuild their homes for the people affected by the disaster in Changxingfang. ”

People made these words clear, which really made Sun Tu a little unsure how to speak. Although he can't agree with this kind of officialdom's deceptive methods, he can't oppose it head-on, after all, this is related to the reputation of the entire Kaifeng Mansion Yamen, and the deceased is gone, so it is really difficult to pursue more.

After being silent for a long time, Sun Tu remembered a little more: "What about the case of Qi Xuanhe being killed?" ”

That was also Xu Tieying's hand that he asked someone to do on the eve of the previous day, and he had already explained this matter before. As for the reason......" Han Fuyin glanced at Sun Tu meaningfully, obviously referring to him.

Sun Tu couldn't come up with any other doubts, so he could only sigh: "In this way, this case was committed by Xu Tieying and a few others, and it has nothing to do with others?" ”

"Do you think anyone else would be so mad? The official said, this is Bianliang, Tokyo, under the imperial palace, not to mention such arson cases, even ordinary murder cases are rare. Okay, you and the hard work of the people below have also heard Xue Tong's judgment mention, although you failed to really catch the murderer in this case, but the credit is not small, this official will truthfully report to the court, so you don't want to cause more trouble. In the end, Han Fuyin also comforted Sun Tu quite considerately.

But after hearing this, Sun Tu didn't have the slightest joy, why did the other party still insist that he raised doubts because he wanted to snatch the credit?

With a depressed mood, Sun Tu returned to his signing room. Even at this time, he still felt that there should be deeper problems in this case that had not been discovered, but Fu Yin had already tried the case quite completely, and there was no hidden secret no matter how you looked at it, and the previous explanation did make sense.

"No......" Sun Tu's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a question that he had ignored: "Why is Han Fuyin's attitude like this?" It stands to reason that one of my subordinates expressed doubts that he should be disdainful as the governor of the palace, so why should he patiently explain it to me, and even specially accompanied me to see Fang Boguang's body? It seems that he did all this on purpose, in order to reassure me and stop dwelling on the case, but why did he have to do it?

"Is it because you're worried about Tong Guan behind me? But this is not right, this case has been handled so satisfactorily, how can there be a recurrence? Even Tong Guan can't embarrass Kaifeng Mansion or even the judicial yamen of the entire Great Song Dynasty for the sake of my slightest doubt. So why did he do this? What is hidden behind this case......" The more Sun Tu thought about it, the more he felt that this case was very strange.

This case can not only make Fang Boguang, a person who is also a bit of a face, commit suicide, but also make the Shunshui Gang make such a concession, and the gang leader Yan Miao personally came forward to take down Xu Tieying, which will greatly damage the prestige of his gang, and even affect the loyalty of the brothers below. What are these people hiding? Are they doing all this to protect anyone?
