[Twenty-one times] how to surrender yourself
This Wang He told the detailed modus operandi and process in front of everyone's eyes. He made it up without leakage, that is, even Jiang Chengyi, who knew the truth, listened to it, and subconsciously thought that everything was just as Wang He said, not to mention Sanyu, Jing Ting and others who were also trying the case.
Wang's surrender has thrown the already clear facts of the case into a whirlpool and made it more difficult to investigate.
Everyone in the hall heard Wang He's complete statement of the crime process, and unanimously believed that the explosion was done by Wang He. Jing Ting still has doubts about the doubts in this case.
Here, the Dongfu Division has not yet decided to take Wang He into custody for detailed examination. Rumors circulated in Luoyang City that Wang He was the culprit of the bombing.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Jiang Chengyi had no choice but to temporarily put Wang He in prison for further interrogation.
At night, Jiang House.
Mu Yun waited in the mansion for a day, and finally looked forward to Jiang Chengyi's return from the main mansion, seeing the young man in an indigo robe enter the mansion with a tired face, she walked up to the door in three or two steps, silently accompanied him, and headed towards the study.
Jiang Chengyi had been pondering Wang He's surrender, so he didn't notice that Mu Yun was following him.
When he walked to the door of the study, he paused with one foot on the threshold, stepped out again, and then asked Xue Qing in a thoughtful manner: "These days... Did Sanyu and Jing Ting find anything? What is abnormal about Deng Guozhong? ”
He waited for Xue Qing to answer, but there was no movement behind him, so he turned his head to look suspiciously, and saw Mu Yun standing on his right side, staring at him without blinking.
Jiang Chengyi was so busy that he was dizzy, he had ignored Mu Yun these days, and now he saw her looking at herself with a smile on her charming little face, and she was pursing her lips and looking at herself.
"Look at you! Thinking about the case, he didn't know that Xue Qing left halfway. It's getting late! If there are still doubts about the case, let it go first. Hot dishes in the kitchen... and waited for thee to return, and to dine with thee. Mu Yun said softly.
Seeing that she was not giggling and laughing with herself as usual, Jiang Chengyi was a little surprised, and quipped: "If it were the past, I would have ignored you for so long, Ayi, you... But it's time to go to fist... How can you be so gentle today? ”
Mu Yun listened, and was a little unhappy, pouting, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "How can I get it... Am I such a vexatious master? Seeing that your feet don't touch the ground all day long, and you are so busy that your head and feet are hanging upside down, where am I willing to continue to mess with you? ”
She muttered, as if she was a little aggrieved.
Jiang Chengyi's heart softened, his long arms wrapped around her, and he hugged her into his arms, his thin lips approached her ear, and he whispered: "I know, I won't go to the East Mansion Division tonight, stay in the mansion to accompany you." ”
The hot air pounced on Mu Yun's cheeks, and what she said was extremely ambiguous, which made her blush instantly, so she stomped her foot, pushed him away, and said, "Who wants you to accompany her!" ”
Jiang Chengyi was suddenly pushed away, and when he saw Mu Yun's shy appearance, he snickered. Mu Yun saw that he was deliberately teasing her, and his heart became angry, and he immediately drove him with his hands and feet, and punched him a few times.
Seeing that she had regained her true nature and began to punch and kick herself again, Jiang Chengyi wailed twice, shrunk her head and dodged everywhere in the yard, and after a while, she whined and begged for mercy: "Okay, Ayi! I promise it later! Never tease you again! ”
Hearing his assurance, Mu Yun finally stopped and stopped chasing him. The little woman raised her haughty chin, snorted at him, turned around her arms, and walked lightly to the antechamber.
Jiang Chengyi smiled and shook his head helplessly.
Immediately after, Mu Yun's crisp and loud call sounded in the corridor ahead: "Why don't you come here quickly?" ”
Jiang Chengyi hurriedly responded: "Hey! All right, ma'am, I'm coming! ”
Listening to his pretended playful answer, Mu Yunle, who was walking in front, laughed, slowed down, and waited for him to catch up.
After dinner, Xue Qing returned home from outside.
Jiang Chengyi was waiting for him in the study, closing his eyes and thinking about all the clues he had found during the day, when he listened attentively, and there was a rush of footsteps from the corridor outside the house. Heyuan Book Bar
Xue Qing hurried to the study, paused in front of the door, and said nothing.
Jiang Chengyi opened one eye and cast a glance at him, then closed his eyes again, but asked lightly, "What's wrong?" Why don't you come in? ”
Xue Qing bowed to him in front of the door and responded, "I'm afraid that Gongzi can't continue to stay in the mansion... At the second minute of the unitary hour, the Taiwei personally went to the Dongfu Division, and asked the prince to interrogate Wang He overnight and come up with an explanation... Tomorrow, I will report to Your Majesty and release Deng Yuan. ”
Jiang Chengyi was surprised, his eyes opened in an instant, and his gaze fell on the blue-robed man in front of the door, seeing his eagerness, he knew that it must be the situation of the Dongfu Division that was a little ugly, and Xue Qing hurriedly came back to look for him.
"How could Deng Guozhong be in such a hurry? No matter what you say about this matter, after all, there is no evidence to prove the connection between Deng Yuan and the bombing case... His Majesty will not say anything more because of the face of the Deng family. The Dongfu Division has been detaining Deng Yuan for more than half a month... On the day before the New Year's Festival, whether it is the Dongfu Division or the city defense army, if there is no evidence, Deng Yuan will be released. At this juncture, Deng Guozhong is not so aggressive, but what happened? ”
Xue Qing's eyes were worried, and he was puzzled: "My subordinates also think it's very strange, it should be said... Lord Taiwei shouldn't be so anxious. ”
Jiang Chengyi rubbed his aching brain, pinched the bridge of his nose and said tiredly: "That's it... It must be Sanyu and Jing Ting who found out something... caused Deng Guozhong to be so anxious to launch a person to take the blame. In the past few days, you and I have only focused on finding witnesses at the time of the crime, but we have forgotten to stare at the movements of Sanyu and Jing Ting. Maybe we're missing some important clue. ”
He moved his muscles a little, then got up from the front of the case, and went out of the mansion with Xue Qing and went to the East Mansion Division.
Deng Guozhong waited in the side hall of the main director's mansion.
As soon as Jiang Chengyi entered the main mansion, Jing Ting and Sanyu greeted him. Because there were important witnesses in Song Zong's case who needed to be interrogated, Dou Yueqian was not invited to come here tonight.
"Master Jiang, are you here?" Sanyu arched his fist at him and said politely.
He nodded slightly at Sanyu, and said politely: "Let the two of you wait for a long time... Where is Lord Taiwei now? ”
Jing Ting had a cold face and said sullenly: "Waiting in the side hall!" ”
Jiang Chengyi paid attention for a moment, and noticed that there was displeasure on both of their faces, so he asked quietly, "Do you two know... Why is Taiwei so anxious to push out Master Wang He? These days... But you two found some important clues... Did you provoke our captain? ”
Sanyu replied: "The lower officials and the general have found some clues, and they are ready to write a notebook, report it to Your Majesty, and continue to detain Deng Yuan." I just didn't expect... And the crane sprang out. ”
Jiang Chengyi asked: "What clues made the two of them believe that the explosion case was related to Deng Yuan?" ”
Jing Ting took his words and said: "Xia Guan and Wei Wei recently found out that Deng Yuan had ordered eight wooden boxes to be transported into the mansion four days before the explosion. However, after the incident, no matter how much the soldiers at the exploration site searched, they could not find the fragments of these seven or eight boxes in the explosion at any place in the Deng Mansion. On that day, although the explosion and fire were severe, they did not stop at burning the entire Deng Mansion to ashes. If you look closely, you should be able to find one or two broken wooden boxes. So, Captain Wei and I both thought that the large amount of sulfur powder and charcoal powder that had been sprinkled into the dungeon might have been brought into the palace in those eight wooden boxes... went to the prison to interrogate Deng Yuan.
Deng Yuan looked strange and flickered, and he couldn't tell what the use of those seven or eight boxes was for being transported into the Deng Mansion. We think it's different. After investigating the records of Caoyun, it was indeed found that six days before the explosion, a cargo ship had sailed from Yangzhou, and there were only eight wooden boxes on it, each of which was very heavy. The big man who was moving the goods at the Caoyun ferry port was so impressed that it is said that he called several brothers to carry the goods off the ship. When a few people lifted it, some black powder fell out of it. What is this if not the box containing the charcoal powder? The two of us checked the whereabouts of the box again. It was found that these eight boxes almost circled Luoyang City... was sent to Deng Yuan's mansion. This move may be Deng Yuan's way to cover up the process of the crime. ”
Jing Ting told Jiang Chengyi in detail what happened one by one. Seeing that he was frowning, he thought that he had sensed something wrong from Fang Cai's own narrative, so he asked, "What strange things did Master Jiang Sike find?" ”
Jiang Chengyi raised his own question: "Didn't Deng Yuan know that after the dungeon caused the explosion... Will it cause such serious results? ”
Jing Ting and Sanyu were both stunned, and they also froze their eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "It's this that the two of us can't understand. Deng Yuan made such a big move, not only exposing the fact that Shi An was imprisoned in his private prison in the house... It also caused a catastrophe. If it is only for the sake of extinguishing the mouth, such an approach is too extreme... It's almost a lose-lose situation. ”
Jiang Chengyi nodded, leading the two of them to think of this, and then fell silent.
Deng Yuan's mansion once carried eight heavy wooden boxes, such a striking thing, like Deng Yuan's cautious temperament, will never be discovered by others. Therefore, these things were brought into the house in the middle of the night when no one was around. Although Jing Ting is a city defense army, he needs to patrol the city day and night, but the city defense army also has a changing guard system. Deng Yuan only needs to avoid the patrol of the city defense army, and he can also do it quietly.
How did Jing Ting and Sanyu find out about this matter?
He was puzzled, so he asked casually: "Dare to ask how did the two adults find out that the wooden box with charcoal powder was transported into Deng Yuan's mansion?" ”
