When I returned to the county government from Tongzhou, it was not early, and it was almost time to release the government. But Lu Zhen still called Zeng Guang and Yue Liqiu to him and asked them about the progress of the case.

Before he sent Chu Yunrong's second daughter away early in the morning, he had instructed his two subordinates to follow two lines to investigate this seemingly simple, but in fact, there was a lot of mystery inside. Zeng Guang was sent to inquire about the news from the Shuntian Mansion to see how many valuable clues could be obtained from there. Although Shuntianfu is the boss of Daxing County, there is still some friendship between the clerks or errands in the yamen and can exchange news.

As for Yue Liqiu, he was left by Lu Zhen in the county government to carefully review the case files related to this case - although most of the files had already been sent to Shuntian Mansion along with the case, there would always be some left in the county office. If you want to find out the truth of this case, the first-hand records belonging to the county government are still quite crucial.

Yue Liqiu came to Lu Jin first, and also took a stack of documents in his hand, and handed it over when he met: "My lord, this is all the records about that murder left in our county treasury. "Now he is the head of the county government, and it is naturally very convenient for him to call these out.

Lu Jin stretched out his hand to take it, but he was not in a hurry to open it, but put the stack of documents on the case, and then asked the subordinates in front of him, "What do you see from this?" ”

Glancing at Lu Zhen intently, Yue Liqiu frowned and said: "This case was quite strange at the time, and I didn't think about it before, but now I find out that there is no bitter master to come to entangle and inquire about this case, which is really unreasonable." ”

Lu Zhen sighed and said, "Are you saying that no relatives and friends of the deceased came to the county government to cry?" ”

"Exactly. In the past, Xia Guan has also been in contact with many homicide cases, whether it is a fight or an accidental death, as long as a person enters our county office, there are always family members and friends who come to cry and complain, so that the county government can give them justice. But in this case, there were no relevant people waiting to come to the county office, even the Juchun Building, and they just sent a shopkeeper to come over to identify the body. You must know that the deceased Feng Changchun was really attacked and killed. Yue Liqiu said truthfully.

After a pause, he continued: "This suspicion was actually taken care of by the lower officials at that time, but later the case was quickly handed over to the Shuntian Mansion, and it had nothing to do with our county government, so it was left behind. But now that I think about it, there must be something strange about this. ”

Lu Zhen nodded: "Someone should have stopped Feng Changchun's relatives and friends and prevented them from coming to the yamen to expand the matter." It's just who has the ability to do all this? What is his purpose? ”

Yue Liqiu didn't answer Lu Jin's two questions, and he couldn't answer them, so he just continued: "In addition, judging from the recorded autopsy, although Feng Changchun was stabbed several times, the fatal knife was actually in the throat, and ...... Judging from Lao Zhao's many years of experience, this knife in the throat was the first in him. In other words, he was killed by a single knife in his throat, and the wounds on his body were simply covered up. By the way, Lao Zhao is the work of my county government for many years, and he is a master in inspecting corpses, and he has never looked away. ”

Lu Zhen nodded in understanding, but the doubt on his face became heavier. A knife can cut someone's throat and kill him, which shows that the murderer is a middle and old man. And whether the extra knives were added to cover up or vent anger, it is difficult to say now. The water in this case is really deep enough, and there are already many mysteries hidden in the case alone.

"In this way, the murderer should be Feng Changchun's opponent, not the so-called robbery and murder?" Lu Zhen came to such a conclusion after pondering.

"I can't be wrong, but when we made this judgment, the case was no longer a matter for the county government. We have also written all of this into the dossier, but it turns out that there is no mention of it in the dossier that we have sent back now. ”

"Someone pulled away these suspicions in order to make this case completely a normal robbery and murder, so that it would be much easier to seal it." Lu Zhen pondered and speculated: "By the way, have you ever checked why he appeared in the Kushui Hutong area of the corpse?" There are all dilapidated courtyards and a Guandi temple, mostly where beggars live, how could he, a wealthy businessman with some status, appear there late at night? Even during the day, I'm afraid he won't go there on purpose. ”

"This ...... But I don't know. Xia Guan also asked relevant people, but none of them could give an answer. Yue Liqiu shook his head and said.

"It's really confusing." Lu Zhen gently patted the documents on the case with his hand and exhaled. He felt that he didn't even need to look at the files left by these county officials, because there would definitely be no more to be gained here. At this moment, Zeng Guang had also hurried over.

Seeing him coming, Lu Zhen smiled and said, "It's hard work Zeng County, how about it, do you have anything to gain in Shuntian Mansion?" ”

Zeng Guang's face was full of doubt: "My lord, the magistrate of Shuntian Mansion has also had dealings with the lower officials, but this time he refused to say anything. ”

"Oh? Is he not going to say anything about the case? Lu Zhen blinked and asked.

"Yes, he only said that this case was half a year ago, and he had forgotten it all for a long time. I also consciously or unintentionally mentioned that some cases should be let pass, and if they insist on being exposed, I am afraid that there will be more trouble. ”

Looking at Zeng Guang's worried appearance, Lu Jin smiled bitterly: "He said that we want to investigate this case, and it is not the duty of the Criminal Department." After a pause, he said: "Okay, there is no need to say more about this kind of thing, you won't get such advice after going to Shuntianfu for so long, right?" ”

Zeng Guang smiled: "Of course, it is impossible for the lower officials to return empty-handed, so I met privately with a few of the good officers and asked about the details of this case. As far as they remembered, the case was left in the yamen for three days and then sent to the criminal department for sealing, and no one was sent out to investigate. ”

"Is there such a thing? Who made this decision? Lu Jinqi said.

"It's the pusher Wang Qi. Generally, the big and small cases of Shuntianfu are all decided by him, and this case is naturally no exception. ”

"A magistrate is so slack about a murder case, if no one directs him, I'm afraid no one can believe it." Lu Jin's words are very reasonable, unlike the prefect of the county order, the duty of the magistrate is only to judge the case, and if the murder case that appeared in his jurisdiction cannot be solved, I am afraid that the stake he has to bear is too great.

Only when he was also instructed not to conduct a deep investigation, and the people behind him had enough strength to protect him, and even give him enough benefits, did he dare to put such a big case to a hasty conclusion.

From the relatives and friends of the deceased not coming to the yamen to cry and beg, to the disappearance of some of the original clues, and then to the negative attitude of the Shuntianfu yamen later, all kinds of abnormalities show that there are people behind the scenes who are trying their best to downplay this case and do not want this case to be pursued further.

With just the ability to cover the sky with this hand, you can see how much energy this person is hiding behind the scenes. It's just that Lu Zhen couldn't guess whether the other party was more deeply involved in this case, or that this person was the culprit who killed Feng Changchun.

Wrong! Lu Zhen suddenly shook his head slightly, this person behind the investigation of the case by the government should not be the murderer, otherwise with his ability, Feng Changchun could completely die silently, and he would not be on the street at all, and people would not be concerned about it.

So what is his purpose in doing this? Is it to protect the murderer? Or is there something else in mind?

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhen couldn't think of a reason, so he could only shake his head slightly. Seeing that he was no longer pondering, Zeng Guang continued: "My lord, there is another thing that is also quite strange. ”

"But what?" Lu Jin's expression was gloomy when he saw him, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he seemed to have forgotten a certain key.

"The person who was found by the county government is the beggar who stayed at the Guandi Temple at night......" Speaking of this, he was beaten again.

Lu Zhen hurriedly asked, "How is he?" A sense of foreboding hit him.

After a little hesitation, Zeng Guangcai said: "On that day, he was sent to Shuntian Mansion by the county government as a witness to the case. But as a result, that night, he suddenly fell ill and died in the cell of Shuntianfu. ”

Lu Jin's eyes flashed, and he almost blurted out a sentence of careless disregard for human life, and he almost blurted out when he killed people. At the same time, he felt a chill in his heart, in order to cover up the truth, these guys actually killed an innocent person directly!

The high-sounding statement of the Shuntianfu side is naturally that this beggar is already sick, but who would believe such a coincidental thing?

But because he is just a beggar living on the street and helpless, even if he dies, no one will complain about him, and no one will even ask a word. If it weren't for Zeng Guang's many inquiries, I'm afraid I wouldn't even get this news!

This is the prosperous world today, in the eyes of those big people, these grass people are just ants-like existence, they can be sacrificed at any time, and they can be killed with one finger!

After hearing all this, Yue Liqiu smiled bitterly: "My lord, it seems that almost all the clues in this case have been broken, even if we want to investigate regardless of the forces behind us, we are afraid that we don't know where to start." ”

Yes, the case file is only a few generalizations, there is almost no physical evidence, and the body is no longer in the hands of the yamen. And the only person who can ask for something is already dead for months. Such a headless case, not to mention that there are still people who don't want to be investigated, even if people don't ask, it is difficult to find a breakthrough.

But Lu Zhen laughed: "The more they do so much, the more it shows how weak these people are, as long as we find a clue, this shady curtain will be revealed!" Whether it's for ourselves, or for the two people who died in vain, I, Lu Jin, want to find out the truth of the matter! ”

When he said this, his expression was extremely solemn, and there was a slight glint in his eyes, which made the two subordinates in front of him palpitate......
