Chapter 105: Ling Shi asks the case
Guan Ping took the soldiers, as well as Ling Shi and Wang Poppy to Wang Poppy's door, at this time Wang Pop began to panic, desperately struggling to get rid of the rope, but he was tied like a dumpling, and could only watch Guan Ping and them surround their home, and then watch in the attic Ling Shi's son was rescued.
When Ling Shi Master Han He saw his son rescued by Guan Ping with his own eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes. In the past few days, the son who has been unable to sleep at night has been safe and sound, and he has been rescued here, which makes him have mixed feelings. He hurriedly hugged his son, thanked Guan Ping repeatedly, and was about to kneel.
And Wang Poppy, who was tied up, was also out of control at this time, and shouted to the sky: "Wang Xin, you bastard, Lao Tzu is kind enough to help you, how much money and energy has been spent, you even betrayed your own brother, you can't die well." ”
rescued Ling Shi's son, and Wang Poppy was immediately taken by Ling Shi and Guan Ping to the imperial prison for detention.
Because of the felony of kidnapping the children of officials, Wang Poppy thought that he had no way to save himself, and no one could save himself.
After Ling Shi Hanhe sent his son home, he immediately asked Chen Gonggong to resign from Ling Shi's position, because he was forced to change his autopsy results under external pressure in the case of the death of Kong Du in Xiafu, which was a loss of the trust of the imperial court and his professional ethics.
When Ling Shi resigned, officials such as Fan Rui and Guan Kui suggested that he be investigated for his guilt, while questioning the results of Kong Du's autopsy. Because one positive and one negative does not know which is the correct result, although Han He has a child who was kidnapped, there is no evidence to prove that it must be related to the Kong Du case.
Chen Gonggong learned that Ling Shi changed the autopsy results under the pressure of his son's kidnapping, but there was no reason to refute the petition of Fan Rui and other ministers, so he ordered Han He's salary to be halved and demoted, and ordered him to bring many people from the government to re-autopsy together, thoroughly investigate Kong Du's case, and further deal with it after finding out the truth.
After receiving Chen Gonggong's instructions, Lord Ling Shi Han immediately took people to Kong Du's house and asked where Kong Du was buried to prepare for a new autopsy. But the strange thing is that the Kong family has moved and is missing, his people don't know where their family has moved, and the people in Kong Du's grave clan don't know, and there are no new graves in the family cemetery.
This puts Lord Shi Han in a difficult situation. If there is no re-autopsy, any previous conclusions will not hold, and you can imagine what the outcome will be.
Ling Shi had to look for clues in the Xia Mansion, from how Guan Ping knew that Wang Poppy kidnapped his son in his attic to find another way, peel back the cocoon, and find out the truth.
Ling Shi approached Guan Ping and asked him where he had learned about his son's whereabouts, and Guan Ping had to tell him that it was Mrs. Xia who had given him the news.
After Ling Shi left Guan Ping, he went to visit Xia Ji again.
"Mrs. Xia, first of all, I want to thank you for saving the dog, our whole family doesn't know how to repay this great kindness, if Lord Sima and you agree, I want the dog to recognize you two as fathers and mothers. When he grows up, he honors you as he honors his own parents. ”
"It's too polite to make Master Shi, this is what we should do. However, you proposed to let Ling Lang be our righteous son, and I have no problem with this proposal. Xia Ji thought that admitting this righteous son could bring the two families closer, and there was no harm in it. In addition, Ling Shi is a rare young talent, and he may be able to become Lord Sima's right-hand man in the future.
"Since you have no opinion, presumably Lord Sima will not object. When Master Sima returns to Zhuye, I will bring the dog and ask him to kowtow to you. ”
"Okay, no problem." Natsuhime said.
"Mrs. Xia, there is a second important thing to visit today, and that is to solemnly apologize to you. Because of the examination of Kong Du's body a year ago, Xia Guan's conclusion was that Kong Du committed suicide, but on the first day of the new year, he came to re-examine Kong Du's body with the supervisor and overturned the previous judgment. Now I sincerely apologize. Ling Shi Hanhe said.
Since there is a reason for this, of course, it can be forgiven. But fortunately, I was also prepared that you would overturn your conclusion, so I did not relax the internal investigation of the Xia Mansion, and even had follow-up preparations for requesting the government to re-examine the autopsy. Natsuhime said.
"The lower official understands the request for a re-autopsy, but the lower official does not understand what Mrs. Xia means by the follow-up preparations for the re-autopsy."
"Kong Du's body was quietly transported away two hours after the second autopsy by the adults and the superintendent, and the concubine suspected that the Kong family had been waiting for your second autopsy, why did the Kong family use the suicide results of the second autopsy instead of the first Kong Du killing results, there must be interests or unspeakable motives in this, in this case, it is necessary to hide Kong Du's burial place or cremate the body, but fortunately, the Kong family still chose burial instead of cremation."
"Oh, how did Mrs. Xia know that the Kong family still chose to be buried? According to the investigation of the lower officials, the whereabouts of Kong Du's grave are now unknown, and the Kong family has also disappeared en masse. ”
This can only show that the Kong family is threatened. Kong Du's death must have been someone who wanted to seal his mouth. And Kong Du was detained by Xia Mansion, you must know that it was because he was suspected of embezzling the gold of Xia Mansion by using the matter of changing furniture. But this is something that Kong Du can't do alone, there must be someone to help, and the person who assists must be a participant or accomplice in the corruption case. When we searched Kong Du's personal belongings, we did not find the one pound and two taels of gold that he took from me to buy the furniture, except for one tael to pay for furniture repairs, and it can be concluded that the other pounds and taels of gold were most likely divided. ”
"You mean that Kong Du's murderer has something to do with this furniture embezzlement case?"
"It is very likely that this is the case, and the murderer may also be worried that more corruption will be involved in this matter, so he simply kills people and keeps his mouth shut."
"As you said, the Kong family can choose cremation to destroy the body, but after all, they still choose burial, and the grave is nowhere to be found, and the Kong family does not know where to go, how to understand this?"
"The reason why the Kong family did not choose cremation may be to preserve the real evidence of Kong Du's death. The body was preserved and the whole family disappeared, apparently under threat or inducement. ”
"Mrs. Xia, where did you get the news that you said you knew that Kong Du was buried? Is there a specific burial place for Kong Duk? ”
"Of course, Xia Fu's follow-up method for re-autopsy is to grasp Kong Du's burial location."
"Mrs. Xia is really a god alive, please inform Kong Du of the location of the burial place, and the lower officials must thoroughly investigate it. In addition to the second meaning just said, Xia Guan also wanted to know about Wang Poppy. Ling Shi Hanhe said.
"Good. What does Master Shi want to know about Wang Poppy? I must know it all. Xia Ji asked the guards to call Jiang Lu and ask him to call the soldiers sent to track the corpses of Kong Du's family and bury them to the lobby.
After a while, the soldier walked in.
"Mrs. Xia, adults, little Zhao Ye, I don't know what the adults are doing with the villains?"
"Zhao Ye, two days ago, Kong Du's body was transported out of the Xia Mansion, Jiang Lu sent you to follow him, and you saw them burying Kong Du with your own eyes, right?" Natsuhime asked.
"Yes."
"And do you remember that location?" Master Ling Shi asked.
"Remember."
"Okay, after a while, you will go with Master Ling Shi to find Kong Du's grave and come back to receive the reward." Natsuhime said.
"The little one obeys."
"Okay, you wait outside." Ling Shi said, and the soldier walked out.
"Mrs. Xia, you gave me this soldier to get rid of the passive situation of verification, and if I can't re-examine the autopsy, nothing can be talked about. I really don't know what words to use to express this gratitude. Master Shi was very grateful to Xia Ji, and this location information gave him hope for the future that he almost lost.
"No thanks, this is also something that we did to save our Xia Mansion."
"Also, Xia Guan had already met Guan Ping before coming to see Mrs. Xia just now, and he told Xia Guan that you told him the news that the dog was kidnapped to the attic of Wang Poppy's house, I want to know where you got the exact news."
"Wang Poppy came to see Wang Xin, I expected that the conversation between them would definitely involve the Kong Du case, so I had arranged ear and eye monitoring before they talked, and sure enough, the conversation between them was informative, and they talked about Ling Lang's whereabouts."
"Since it is an ear and eye surveillance, it seems that Mrs. Xia must have arranged it very secretly, because Wang Poppy shouted that Wang Xin betrayed him after the dog was rescued, which made me think that it was Wang Xin's confession that caused the dog's whereabouts to be clear. In addition to this useful piece of news, I don't know what other secrets they talked about. ”
"Master Lingshi, wouldn't it be better if you would like to move Wang Xin to the official prison and interrogate him strictly, so that you can directly obtain evidence of their crimes? However, I did make a detailed record of the conversation between the two of them, so that Master Shi could use this record to confirm with Wang Xin. Xia Ji has always been critical of Wang Xin and Li Wei's detention in the Xia Mansion, just so that she can take advantage of this matter to get rid of these two burdens.
"Great, Mrs. Xia is reasonable, and I will go through the detention procedures for the two prisoners now. Since Mrs. Xia has a record of the conversation between these two criminals, it will be much easier for me to interrogate Wang Xin. ”
Xia Ji gave the transcript of the conversation between Wang Poppy and Wang Xin, which had been prepared, to Master Ling Shi, and Ling Shi respectfully accepted it.
"Master Lingshi, these recorded texts are recorded word by word, and there is no error in terms of phonetic coherence. However, there are many homophones in Huaxia characters, and this thing cannot be verified by Wang Xin and Wang Poppy, so the problem is only the ambiguity caused by pronunciation, and it cannot be used as a material for filing in court, but can only be used as a clue material for you to investigate the case, hoping to make Master Shi aware of it. ”
"Yes, Mrs. Xia. However, there is still something unclear about the lower officials, and Mrs. Wangxia explained it in detail. I heard what Mrs. Xia said just now, this record is recorded word by word, which means that except for the pronunciation, which may cause ambiguity to the listener, all other aspects are word-for-word, right? Even if Master Shi was killed, he couldn't imagine that Mrs. Xia recorded every move of Wang Poppy and Wang Xin's conversation without any mistakes.
"That's what it means, Lord Lingshi."
"What I want to know is how do you do that? Because the speed of speech is incomparable to writing. ”
"Yes, although writing is slower than speaking, there is another word called erudition, and it is enough to do that."
"Mrs. Xia is really a god. The lower official retired. ”
"Okay, let Master Shi go slowly." Natsuhime said.
