Seeing that Sun Tu actually opened the mouth of the charred corpse without any scruples, and even put his hand into it to dig it out, it suddenly made several servants behind him feel creepy and sick to their stomachs at the same time, one of them couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran out, while the others didn't look good-looking, they all looked at him with strange eyes, like looking at a madman.

But Sun Tu was not affected by this, and still carefully observed the cigarette ash in the corpse's mouth, could this be deliberately poured into it? But then a new idea popped into his head - no, it was supposed to be the corpse's mouth and nose that had been kicked up after the fire, and it was easy to prove it, just cut open the corpse's throat and see if there was any soot in it.

However, he also knew that this would not be allowed, after all, even in the future generations, there are too many family members who cannot accept the autopsy of their loved ones, let alone the current era. Fortunately, he had another way to test his previous inference.

Thinking of this, Sun Tu picked up one of the corpse's hands again and observed it carefully. Although the body has been charred and deformed, and the flesh has long been carbonized, some things can still be seen, such as the damage caused before death. As a result, there were no traces on his hands or feet, and it was not until he checked the neck of the corpse that he finally found something unusual: "No! ”

As he spoke, Sun Tu's hand had gently swung twice around the corpse's neck, causing it to make a tooth-aching clicker sound, and Shen Liang and Zhong Yu frowned again, but still asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"What does it mean that you can turn their necks at such a large angle with just a slight movement?" Sun Tu said and turned his hand, and the head of the corpse really turned back almost one hundred and eighty degrees, and was directly turned to the back.

Shen Liang exhaled lightly: "This ...... His neck has long been broken? ”

"Yes, it was wrung alive with heavy hands. It was only because the skin and flesh had become stiff after being burned in the fire for a long time that no one saw the problem. But in fact, the man died long before he was burned by the fire. Sun Tu said with a serious expression: "Now one thing is certain, this arson case is a case within a case, and it is by no means a disaster caused by negligence as previously judged." ”

After saying this, Sun Tu came to another corpse again, this time directly examining his neck, and sure enough, he was also killed by someone who twisted his neck, and his method was completely the same as the former. And Sun Tu can also give a conclusion: "I'm afraid someone killed the two of them in the Qi family's silk shop first, and then set this fire." Moreover, if Lao Cui's previous statement was correct, in the meantime, he even deliberately poured combustible materials such as fire oil on the outside of the store, so that the fire burned even more vigorously, so that the surrounding shops were also set on fire. ”

Shen Liangshen nodded approvingly, and looked at Sun Tu with a little more admiration in his eyes. Zhong Yu was surprised, and it took a while to come back to his senses: "This ...... How is this possible? Who would have such a deep hatred and hatred that he would commit murder and arson? Who would have the courage to dare to kill people and set fire to the city of Tokyo, so that they are not afraid of being razed by the three clans? "He is not alarmist, such arson in the capital, and in the end it has caused such a tragic result, his crime is equivalent to plotting against him, it is enough to convict a major crime of rebellion, and the destruction of the three clans is considered light.

And Sun Tu sneered: "It is precisely because they have concerns that they will think of letting Huang Qi and others be substitutes for the dead." As long as the government finds out about these three people through the clue of Zhang Laosi, they will be at a loss. And with the thoughts of everyone in the officialdom now, I am afraid that this will end here, and it is impossible to do a deep investigation. ”

Zhong Yu's old face turned red when he heard this, although the other party was not talking about himself, but he was really a little ashamed when he thought of the principle that he upheld that big things turned small things into small things.

"There is a lot of information about this matter, it seems that Xue Tong must not be allowed to sentence them and end the case in a hurry!" Sun Tu then made up his mind, and then hugged his fist at Zhong Yu and said: "Zhong Sizheng, this matter is related to the lives of dozens of innocent people, and I hope you can speak up and seek justice for them." ”

"This official is just a deputy director of the street department, but I'm afraid that he is powerless." Zhong Yu retreated a little. has been an official for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to the attitude of protecting himself, and he subconsciously replied. And the murderer in this case is thoughtful and vicious, I'm afraid he must not be an ordinary character, he doesn't dare to mess with it.

Sun Tu hurriedly explained: "Xia Guan just wants to ask Zhong Sizheng to be a witness for me when he arrives, and please also look at these innocent deceased...... Looking at his solemn appearance, Zhong Yu finally nodded after a while: "This official ...... As long as Sun Dutou needs you, I will go to Kaifeng Mansion to testify for you. ”

"Thank you so much." Sun Tu finally showed a hint of a smile, thanked him again, and then left with Shen Liang and the others. Now that all the clues that should be checked here have been checked, it's time to do something else.

When he came outside, Shen Liang and the others subconsciously looked at him: "Dutou, what should we do next?" Before they knew it, their attitude towards their new boss had become extremely respectful.

Sun Tu exhaled a turbid breath: "It's late today, and there's nothing we can do, let's all go back and rest." Tomorrow, I will go to see Xue Tongju and ask him to postpone the report, and then we will go to find clues related to the Qi family's silk shop. I believe that this premeditated murder and arson case is not only because of business entanglements, but also because there must be some other reasons hidden in it. Speaking of this, the calm appearance of the man named Tian Ning flashed in his mind again, maybe he started with this person and his boss Fang Boguang.

This night, Sun Tu finally slept steadily, and after dawn, he rushed to the Kaifeng Mansion again to ask to see his immediate boss Xue Yuanpeng. He was so anxious, not only because he knew that the case was serious, but also because he was worried about what variables would arise again.

Because this case involves a lot of money, I am afraid that all forces in the DPRK and China will soon pay attention to it. If they had learned that Huang Qi and other suspects had been caught, perhaps these officials would have directly scapegoated these three people in order to quickly quell the impact of the incident, but let the real culprits go unpunished.

This concern of his was soon confirmed-

After listening to Sun Tu's report, Xue Tongju's face was quite unkind: "This official still thought that you went back to rest yesterday, but I didn't expect you to go to investigate the case again on your own initiative, is it true that there are no rules in Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

"The lower officials know that they are wrong, but there are indeed too many doubts in this case, and I really don't want anyone to be wronged because of this, so I have investigated many times. And now the lower officials can be sure that there is another person who is responsible for this matter, at least the culprit who really caused the fire in Changxingfang is still at large! ”

"Do you know that yesterday evening, the Criminal Department sent someone to inquire about this matter? This official has also truthfully reported the truth of the case, I am afraid that at this time, even several ministers in the political affairs hall already know that all this was done by Huang Qi and the three of them in order to take revenge on Zhang Laosi's family, and you still make so many troubles? Xue Yuanpeng made a cold face and shouted: "Don't forget, yesterday it was you Sun Qianli who decided that they set the fire!" ”

Sun Tu looked at the boss with some surprise, and he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth wide. The other party is too meritorious, right, he actually decided to die directly when he only had a little eyebrows, and now he still wants to close the case so hastily?

This is a result that Sun Tu can't accept no matter what, he straightened up immediately and looked at his boss: "Xue Tong's judgment, this case is not only a hidden case, but also related to dozens of lives, since the lower official has taken it, there is no reason to give up halfway, let alone let the innocent bear the charge, so that the real murderer will go unpunished!" If you really have any concerns, the lower officials can ask Tong Shuai to come forward, anyway, I want to investigate this case to the end! As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked directly at each other.

"You ......" Xue Yuanpeng suddenly changed color, he really didn't expect Sun Tu to dare to contradict himself like this. But after hearing the last words that seemed to be threatening, the words he scolded the other party could only stay in his throat, and there was a big backer behind the other party!

With Tong Guan's unscrupulous and domineering character, it is obviously impossible to care about the thoughts of the Chinese official of the DPRK, and if he is really allowed to intervene in this case, things will only become more complicated and his situation will become more and more difficult.

After calmly making a judgment, Xue Yuanpeng finally controlled his emotions: "Okay, since you want to check, this official will let you check." But to make it clear, if you don't get anything in the end, this official will definitely punish you, even if you will offend the Tong Privy Secret! ”

"Xia Guan understands, I must find out the truth and catch the real culprit. Otherwise, I will not have to be condemned for my crimes, and I will quit this job myself! "Forced by the words, Sun Tu immediately set up a military order for him!
