The prison was quiet again, and only Shen Chongming and Chen Xiao, who arrived last, took two arresters from the criminal department to carefully inspect the scene, hoping to get some clues.

"Impossible, Guo Lin will never commit suicide, doesn't this just tell everyone that he is the one who stole the silver?" Shen Chongming held his chin and said to himself, such a stupid thing is not done by a slightly normal person, and Guo Lin does not look like a person with a problem with his head.

"Hehe, what the lord said is that the lower officials also feel that something is wrong. Even if Guo Lin really hanged himself, he should have struggled before he died because he couldn't breathe, but this scene is so neat, and the neatness makes people feel a little weird. Chen Xiao pointed to the cell and said.

Shen Chongming slapped his head and suddenly realized, "Yes, this cell is really too tidy, Lord Chen, look at this weed shop for resting, it is really too regular, it should be like no one has touched it after cleaning up, Guo Lin has lived here for a long time, he shouldn't be idle before committing suicide." ”

Chen Xiao turned around and saw that the weed shop was really the same as Shen Chongming said, square and square, and it was clearly carefully cleaned up.

As soon as he saw this, Chen Xiao immediately remembered a suspicious point, and hurriedly walked up to Shen Chongming and whispered: "Lord Shen, Xia Guan just found that Guo Lin's body didn't have a single weed in front of him or behind him, someone must have cleaned it up for him!" ”

Shen Chongming smiled and whispered, "Let's go, let's go back and talk." ”

Experienced what happened last time. Chen Xiao also realized that there were people behind the scenes watching him, and when he heard Shen Chongming say this, he understood what he meant, nodded and the two walked out side by side.

In the post station, Shen Chongming did a simulated reasoning of the crime scene in front of Chen Xiao, and the test product was a catcher from the Criminal Department.

"Lord Chen, you see, the thief should have walked in while Guo Lin was asleep, and the time of the attack should be about a watchday, that time is the time when people sleep the deepest, as long as the movement is light, they will not be awakened. Come, lie on the ground and fall asleep. Shen Chongming said as he directed the catcher who was pretending to be Guo Lin to lie on the ground.

Caught quickly and helplessly, he could only lie on the ground with clothes, and at the same time closed his eyes very seriously.

"The next thing the thief has to do is to untie Guo Lin's belt, this action should be very gentle." As he spoke, Shen Chongming reached out to untie Kuai's belt.

"Don't, sir." Caught in shock, he turned around and said with a pleading face.

"Lie down obediently, disrupt the official's train of thought, and reward you with a few big boards!" Shen Chongming frightened, and he had no choice but to obey his orders, and let him do it with a grudgeful face.

"Then, in order to prevent Guo Lin from waking up when he feels the belt twitching, the thief must have quickly pulled out the belt, and then immediately strangled Guo Lin's neck, as long as the force is strong enough, even if Guo Lin wakes up, because he can't breathe, he can't make any sound, there is only a dead end." As he spoke, Shen Chongming used all his strength to pull out the belt of fast capture at once, but when he put it on his neck, he put down his head and touched the ground, and he couldn't finish it in one go.

Shen Chongming's face turned red, and he raised his head to the other catcher and said, "Come here, when the official pulls out his belt, you have to immediately raise his head and cover his mouth at the same time, this is foolproof." ”

Catch quickly stepped forward to help, and finally achieved the result that Shen Chongming wanted, "Hehe, Lord Chen, what do you think of this official's on-site simulation?" Shen Chongming's face turned red, this is really not a simple matter to strangle a big living person.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and said with admiration: "Gao Ming, it's really too clever, my lord's inference should be the scene of Guo Lin's murder at that time." Saying that, Chen Xiao couldn't help but nodded, and when he lowered his head, he happened to see his subordinates who were strangled by Shen Chongming's neck, his face was purple and scratched with both hands, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Shen, let go!" ”

After being drunk by him like this, Shen Chongming finally knew why he was so hard, and he actually played for real, fortunately Chen Xiao found out, otherwise it would be another life!

After working for a long time, the test subject who had been threatened with death finally regained his composure, Shen Chongming smiled apologetically, and then said to Chen Xiao: "In this way, it can explain why Chen Xiao has no other wounds on his body, and the strangulation marks on his neck match his belt." And Guo Lin's body will definitely struggle when he is strangled by his neck, although he can't make too much noise, but the remaining weed shop will definitely be a mess, and there will be a lot of weeds on his body, in this case, the person who murdered him afterwards will definitely clean up, but it is self-defeating and leaves a flaw. ”

"My lord is right, so who would poison Guo Lin? What is he doing this for, is it to kill people or to divert our attention? Chen Xiao said thoughtfully.

"It's possible to do both, but it's more likely to divert our attention. After all, we don't have evidence to prove who is the inner response in the treasury, if it is really Guo Lin, then it is too early to kill him, and it is easy to narrow the scope of our investigation. Shen Chongming thought for a while and said.

"So what do they want if it's to divert our attention? Just like Lord Wu set his sights on Lord Guo Mingyi, but it was too superficial to do so, and he didn't want to be a stupid trick that someone planning such a big case would use. Chen Xiao shook his head with a smile, and felt funny when he thought of Wu Neng's expression in the prison today, this person was really a wine bag and rice bag.

Shen Chongming smiled, "If this trick is used by others to deal with Guo Mingyi, it is very superficial." But the user has become Guo Mingyi, this trick is not only not a stupid trick, but it is very profound! ”

Chen Xiao frowned, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Having said that, Guo Lin is Guo Mingyi's own nephew, after all, flesh and blood are connected, and it is a rare thing to poison his nephew." And according to our thinking yesterday, the most unlikely person who stole the treasury silver is Guo Mingyi, so it shouldn't be him. ”

Shen Chongming rubbed his head and said with a wry smile: "This mastermind behind the scenes is wise and foolish, a seemingly simple move contains so many deep meanings, maybe what this official thought just now was already in his expectation." If it weren't for the idea that we had already had the idea of handling the case yesterday, maybe we really wouldn't have been able to tell him. ”

Chen Xiao smiled, "But since we have seen through his conspiracy, then his trick has become very stupid, which just proves that our thinking yesterday was completely correct, now we don't need to pay attention to Guo Lin's matter, and investigate the case according to yesterday's thinking!" ”

Shen Chongming smiled and nodded: "Reasonable, and after this incident, it can basically be concluded that the mastermind's target should be Guo Mingyi, so that the scope of our investigation can be narrowed again." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and there was a knock on the door of the back room, but it was the handyman of the post station: "Lord Shen, Lord Shen sent someone to ask for a meeting." ”

Shen Chongming was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Chen Xiao in wonder, Chen Xiao also shook his head, he didn't know what this Zhao prefect had to do with Shen Chongming.

Shen Chongming had no choice but to open the door and walk out and ask, "Do you know what happened when the prefect sent someone to find this official?" ”

The handyman hurriedly shook his head, and said with a sneer: "The prefect must have something important to do when he is looking for Lord Shen, and such a small person is qualified to know." ”

Shen Chongming smiled, "Lead the way ahead!" ”

When he came to the front hall, he saw a man who was more than fifty years old and had a fortune there, and as soon as he saw the handyman who had gone to ask Shen Chongming to come back with a young official, he concluded that this was Shen Chongming who his master had invited him. Hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Little Zhao Cai, who is the housekeeper of the Hangzhou prefect's house, came to invite Lord Shen to sit in the mansion on the order of my master. As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out a pair of invitations and handed them over.

"Lord Zhao invites this official?" Shen Chongming couldn't help frowning, the two had only met once, and they had only said five or six words, what was his intention in inviting him?

"Dare to ask my uncle, didn't Lord Zhao say anything about looking for this official?" This question is a bit abrupt, but it sounds normal to the old housekeeper, the old man said, don't look at this Lord Shen's young age, the official position is not too high, but the background is very deep, and it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant.

"When I went back to my lord, my lord didn't give an order, but just said to the little one, please go to the house and sit down." The old butler said with a flattering face.

"That's right. Hehe, the old man waits, the official will go back and clean up. "Anyway, it's nothing, Shen Chongming wants to see what this Zhao Governor wants to do, and it's a private banquet, it's very mysterious, and he naturally can't run around in an official robe.

went back to say hello to Chen Xiao, Shen Chongming hurriedly changed into a Confucian shirt and rushed to Zhao Mingda's private house with the old housekeeper in a sedan chair.

It seems that this prefect who is a little blessed is really good at enjoying it, although this house is the back office of the government, but being in it is like a garden in the house, there are mountains and rivers, and there are many servants and maids.

"Lord Shen is here for a while, and the little one will go and report first." After settling Shen Chongming in the main hall, the old housekeeper ran out with a smoke, leaving Shen Chongming sitting there alone, not even a cup of tea.

Just when he was a little angry, he heard a crisp voice outside the door and said, "Daddy, what are you looking for your daughter?" ”
