Chapter 190: Destroying the Corpse and Destroying the Traces
Shuntianfu Yin Zhang Zhenghui is very depressed, not ordinary depressed, very, very depressed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tonight, when he was holding his concubine and doing an indescribable thing on the kang, he happened to hear the news of a fire in a house somewhere in the capital.
When Zhang Zhenghui led people and hurriedly didn't arrive at the scene, he saw a fire in the distance, and this fire was really not small.
When I got closer, I saw that the three adjacent courtyards were in a raging fire, and some people on the side were pouring water to put out the fire, still shouting: "The water is gone, the water is gone, come and help put out the fire!" ”
The fire was so great that the three courtyards were almost in ruins.
Zhang Zhenghui immediately ordered the officials to come forward to help, some of them to help carry water to extinguish the fire, and some of them to pull the surrounding houses apart to prevent the fire from spreading.
In recent years, fires in the capital are common, and Zhang Zhenghui has also led people to save fires several times before, so he is naturally familiar with the road. With the participation of officers and soldiers, the fire quickly stopped.
Zhang Zhenghui took the lead and led people into the small courtyard that was burned into ruins to investigate the cause of the fire. It was soon found that in the small courtyard where the fire first started, three charred corpses were found. The other two small courtyards also burned two people to death and three others.
Since he knew that someone would be burned, Zhang Zhenghui sent someone to ask for a doctor before he came, and now the doctor is outside to rescue the injured.
With years of experience in handling cases, Zhang Zhenghui quickly found out that this was not an accidental fire, but a man-made cause. He quickly came to the conclusion that it was a case of murder and arson, and the destruction of corpses.
It's just that it will be very difficult to find out who the murderer is. As soon as he thought about it, he wanted to close the case with an accidental fire, but suddenly heard a commotion outside, followed by a voice full of energy: "Jinyiwei is handling the case, and the idle people are out of the way!" ”
Jin Yiwei?
This little thing Jinyiwei has interfered in?
Zhang Zhenghui turned around and came to the door, and saw Xu Jiang, a thousand households in Nanzhen, with a team of captains, who broke in directly.
He frowned, but suddenly put on a smiling face, and arched his hand: "Why did you bring people over to Xu Qianhu?" ”
"It turned out to be Lord Fu Yin."
As the so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Xu Jiang saw that he was polite, and casually hugged his fist and returned the salute, and then ignored him.
Zhang Zhenghui's heart was on fire, his dignified Zhengsanpin Mansion Yin was so polite to him, he actually loved to ignore him. But he was angry and angry, but he was a little helpless.
Today's Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division, because of Li Xiuwen's relationship as the pacification envoy, his status has skyrocketed, and the limelight seems to have overshadowed Beizhen, so it is no wonder that they are so arrogant.
After those brocade guards broke in, they quickly lined up in two columns and stood solemnly, making way in the middle.
Soon, Zhang Zhenghui saw a white figure, surrounded by two brocade guards, slowly walking in from outside the door. This person is none other than Jinyi Weinan's envoy - Li Xiuwen.
Zhang Zhenghui smiled again and arched his hand: "Why did Lord Zhenfu come here in person?" ”
It stands to reason that Xu Jiang didn't take him seriously, so Li Xiuwen wouldn't be polite to him. But what surprised him a little was that Li Xiuwen returned the salute very politely and said with a smile: "It hindered Lord Zhang's handling of the case, but it was rude for the officials." It was only because this matter involved a secret case in my southern town that I rushed to the scene to investigate. ”
Although Zhang Zhenghui is just a small mansion and has little power, Li Xiuwen still gives the other party enough faces. Previously, Chongwenmen added a banknote customs, and he deliberately made people embarrassed by this government Yin, and later when his family's car passed through the customs again, no more taxes were collected.
This is very understandable, if he was polite to him from the beginning, he would not appreciate it, and felt that the king of heaven was the first, and he was the second.
For this kind of person, you have to slap him first, and he will know that you are not easy to mess with; Then you give him another sweet date, and he will happily accept your kindness.
People are cheap bones!
Li Xiuwen's approach is very effective.
Today's Zhang Zhenghui is indeed reluctant to provoke him. First, there is a precedent of Zhang Zhifa, which makes him stop a lot. Second, it was Xue Guoguan who reminded him, and Li Xiuwen's initiative to show goodwill, made him temporarily give up the idea of dealing with Li Xiuwen, in fact, he had no means.
Li Xiuwen said that this was a secret case, so he naturally didn't want to ask. I can't run to the emperor and ask Jinyiwei what case he is investigating, right?
"Hehe, Lord Li is polite, since this case is related to Nanzhen Fusi, it is natural to find out."
"The lower official will take someone to check it out, and then he will leave."
Li Xiuwen said again, and then walked towards the ruins. Xu Jiang saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to open the way.
When he saw the three charred corpses, Li Xiuwen clenched his fists and quickly released them again. He didn't recognize the three bodies, but he decided that they were his subordinates.
A few people who were still alive in the afternoon had become charcoal by this time. Ding Xiaocheng also told himself at the time that he wanted to ask for a daughter-in-law. It was only less than half a day, and he was brutally murdered.
It is true that he is just a small person, so small that few people care about his life or death, so small that he disappeared into the capital out of thin air, and no one knows about his existence.
But human life is human life, and blood debt must be paid in blood!
Li Xiuwen could guess that the other party was coming for him, and as for who the main messenger was, he knew it.
What he is concerned about now is, how does the other party know about the existence of this stronghold? Was there a mole, or did you let someone follow you and discover the existence of this courtyard?
After looking at every corner of the scene, Li Xiuwen asked Xu Jiang, "Have you found anything?" ”
Xu Jiang replied in a low voice: "My lord, this is a deliberate fire by someone, thinking that it was set on fire for the purpose of destroying the corpse and destroying the traces. There were no useful clues left at the scene, and it was impossible to determine who had done it. ”
Li Xiuwen nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards Zhang Zhenghui, and arched his hand: "I don't know if Lord Zhang has found something?" ”
"Well...... this"
Zhang Zhenghui was very embarrassed. Originally, he planned to close the case with an accidental fire, but now that Li Xiuwen has inserted a lever, it will be difficult to shirk responsibility. If Jin Yiwei said that this was a homicide, but he said that it was an accident, does this Shuntianfu Yin still want to do it?
After pondering for a while, he continued: "According to the official's inference, this is a homicide. The murderer killed the person, and then set the fire to cover up his whereabouts in an attempt to destroy the body. ”
Li Xiuwen nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, I hope that the adults will track down the murderer as soon as possible, and if there are clues, please send someone to inform them." We, the Nanzhen Fu Division, will also assist in the investigation. ”
Assist with the investigation?
This is clearly because I am afraid that I will be lazy, so I will send someone to supervise me!
Zhang Zhenghui was helpless, and reluctantly smiled: "Master Li, don't worry, this is a matter within the scope of this official." ”
On the surface, this case belongs to the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu, and Li Xiuwen is not good at interfering too much, so he can only secretly track down the murderer. The purpose of sending someone to supervise Zhang Zhenghui is to bring him some sense of urgency, so that he will not be lazy and perfunctory.
When Li Xiuwen returned home, there was no one in the room and was waiting for him.
At this time, it was late at night, Li Xiuwen casually said a few perfunctory words, and then sent them back to rest.
went back to the room with Yang Yuxuan, Li Xiuwen came to the table and sat down, poured a cup of cold boiled water and poured it down, only then did he suppress the anger in his heart.
Li Xiuwen knows that what he is doing now will kill many people in the future. But he also knows that if he doesn't do it, more people will die in the future.
Yang Yuxuan came behind him, gently rubbed his shoulder, and said softly: "Xianggong's appearance now, but he is a little impatient. ”
Li Xiuwen was stunned when he heard this, he covered it up well outside. When he returned home, he unconsciously revealed his true emotions in front of Yang Yuxuan.
Yang Yuxuan said to herself: "Didn't you forget that you were always calm and calm when you encountered things before, and you looked like you were in your chest?" ”
Li Xiuwen woke up to the fact that because he felt guilty about Ding Xiaocheng and a few people, he was really swayed by his emotions now, and he couldn't make a correct judgment.
He nodded slightly, pulled Yang Yuxuan and sat in his arms, hugged her slender waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder and smiled: "It's still a lady who can understand." (To be continued.) )
