Chapter 568: The Fox's Tail
"Didn't find it?" Yu Jin frowned, the situation seemed a little unexpected, but it was in common sense.
The assassins of that day, who were exposed, or could be exposed, would naturally not be easily captured at this time, and they would definitely take advantage of the chaos to escape from here, fleeing as far away as possible, and from then on they would remain incognito, live a peaceful life in another way, or continue to do this kind of thing elsewhere.
And those who can come back are either confident that they have not been exposed.
Either they were captured by the army before they had time to escape.
There must have been Assassins, but they shouldn't be too numerous, otherwise they wouldn't have caused chaos and no next move.
If you feel that your strength is not good and you will fail, then why did you launch this assassination operation? Thus exposing them?
Handle a case, not only from the perspective of the case-handling personnel, but also from the perspective of the assassin, only in this way will there be more breakthroughs that can be found, and the probability of solving the case will be greater.
"Send someone and ask, ask everyone who knows these two men to see if anyone has seen the two of them." Yu Jin immediately commanded.
Zhou Tai, under the leadership of the soldiers of the Third Army, almost circled the entire camp, looked at countless people, and finally did not find the few subordinates he said.
And this is also a hidden danger buried that day, the forbidden army guards and the four hundred garrisons only dispersed those who were pursuing, killed some of them, and did not control them further.
This also makes the people who pursued at that time now no one know who they are.
And the scene is so chaotic that unless it is someone who is extremely familiar with it, ordinary people may not be able to remember it.
This is human nature, when a person does not have a particularly obvious performance, leaving you with a particularly deep memory, just walking past you or running past, even if you look at him, it will not be long before he will completely forget him, and will only remember that there was such an event.
……
For a whole day, the people sent to inquire did not have any results, and all of them returned in vain, this result Yu Jin was not disappointed, on the contrary, it was almost exactly the same as he expected.
In the evening, scattered interrogation teams gathered to inform each other of the day's results.
Sure enough, most of the groups had different findings, large and small, that might be small, but so many of them coming together that they were useful if they could be put together.
Every discovery is a new clue and a new main direction of attack, which is very important for handling the case.
Yu Jin said his thoughts, and this idea caused a heated discussion among everyone.
It's not that this method is impossible, it's just that it's too bold, and to handle this kind of big case, you need to be safe, and you can't rush for the sake of time, and once an unjust, false and wrongful case occurs, there is almost no possibility of recovery.
The crime of assassinating the prince can be immediately beheaded, as long as the evidence is sufficient.
It's just that is really appropriate to handle the case like this?
"Everything we know now is all speculation, and no one dares to guarantee that Zhou Tai must have a problem. If he hadn't done it, and we cheated in this way, would it have caused some other negative reactions? Someone asked.
What is the negative reaction?
Revenge on society.
A person who has no relatives and no reason, if he feels that he has been greatly wronged in this matter, no matter what, there will always be some cracks in his heart, and if it is not good, it will make a person's mentality change, and the most direct reaction is to take revenge on society.
How to retaliate?
There are many more such methods, so if you are not a felon, you will not use this method until there is direct evidence to prove it.
"Are you sure Zhou Tai has a problem?" Zhang Xingcheng thought about it and asked seriously.
"More than eighty percent of the certainty can be determined!" Yu Jin nodded and continued to say his reasons: "First of all, it was Zhou Tai's own words that made me suspicious, and secondly, today's Wang Ping's confession provided us with some clues, and according to this clue, I mainly divided it into two aspects, on the one hand, to verify Wang Ping's person, and on the other hand, to verify the clues he said.
As a result, some of Wang Ping's descriptions of himself, except for the fact that Zhou Tai would take money from him after each payment of wages, could not be determined because no one saw it, and all other corrections were basically confirmed by at least ten different people.
Song Jinbao and Liang Rui are indeed ordinary workers, and their status in the team is not low, and the two often spend money lavishly, and often oppress Wang Ping, judging from these aspects, it seems that it is very likely that they will ask Wang Ping for money.
And Zhou Tai said that he remembered that someone had mixed in with the crowd that was chasing and killing His Highness that day, so I asked him to identify people, and after looking for a whole day, I went around the entire camp, but I still didn't find those people.
If these are not enough, then among the more than ten people I interrogated today, four of them saw that when they fled that day, Song and Liang were with Zhou Tai, and their henchmen followed their masters, which is not unexpected, but with Wang Ping, I asked all five of them to look for them one by one, but they didn't see these two people.
So the question is, Zhou Tai, as the master, was arrested, where did Song and Liang go?
If that doesn't prove if he's in trouble, then just one last step is needed to basically be sure. ”
"Which step?" Zhang Xingcheng asked, he felt that what Yu Jin said made sense, and so much evidence pointed to him as problematic, wasn't that enough?
Even if it can't be proved that Zhou Tai participated in the assassination, then what can he say about it with two incompetent henchmen on the construction site?
Although this is a matter for the Ministry of Industry, it is a good thing that this matter can be found out.
"Look for the soldiers who arrested Zhou Tai that day, ask about the specific circumstances of the arrest that day, and search the vicinity of the arrest site." Yu Jin said calmly.
"Do you suspect that Song and Liang may have been wiped out?" Zhang Xingcheng took a deep breath of cold air, this assumption is very bold, but it is indeed possible.
"I can't rule it out!" Yu Jin acquiesced to this statement.
It is not difficult to find the soldier who captured Zhou Tai that day.
When each team of soldiers returned, they were interrogated, then registered and detained in the designated area.
This only needs to look up the information, it doesn't take much time at all, and if it's faster, it only takes one night.
……
Zhang Xingcheng finally agreed to the application, and then directly found Cheng Zhijie.
He is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Xingcheng is not easy to meddle in the affairs of the army, so he directly told Cheng Zhijie about this request, on the one hand, Cheng Zhijie immediately sent someone to investigate.
On the other hand, Zhang Xingcheng was in a three-member cabinet group to report on the results of today's one-day investigation.
Of course, for the fact that this result can be obtained on the first day of the investigation, whether it is Fang Xuanling or Cheng Zhijie, they are still quite surprised by the ability of the Criminal Department.
This is not a small case, and according to Duan Lun's previous investigation results, this case is very complicated, involving a lot of people, and there is a lot of work that needs to be done, and it is not something that can be solved in a moment and a half.
Although he also investigated the people at the stations near the railroad laying trains, nothing came of it.
The three of them were discussing closely, and it took less than a quarter of an hour for the military department to find out the general information.
"The person was caught not far from Beibi Mountain, according to the records, when he was arrested, Zhou Tai was alone, but within two or three miles of him, there were other workers who were fleeing, and the preliminary interrogation results were that they wanted to run into the mountains, so that the chance of escape was greater." The officer in charge of the clerical management of the military department walked in with the record, which not only recorded the general situation, but also the unit that captured him.
"There's something wrong with this guy!" Fang Xuanling immediately spoke.
Even if there was no Zhang Xingcheng's previous report, just looking at this record, he could feel that there was something wrong with this person.
It's understandable not to be in the company of others, but where did those two of his henchmen go? Scattered and fleeing? The three of them fled together, which was not a big goal, and compared to the others, they were simply too small.
On the contrary, it is easier to attract the attention of others if you run away alone.
"Send someone to find this unit immediately, before dawn, I want to see the team of soldiers who captured Zhou Tai!" Cheng Zhijie also nodded and ordered directly.
This kind of thing, as long as one is caught, the others can be easily investigated.
"What are you going to do over there? Immediate surprise interrogation of Zhou Tai? Fang Xuanling looked at Zhang Xingcheng.
"Yu Jin means that for the time being, he will not be interrogated by surprise, first find the scene of the arrest, and then interrogate the workers who were also arrested nearby, to see if anyone has noticed him, and it is best to find the place where the three of them finally gathered, Yu Jin suspects that Song and Liang may have been killed." Zhang Xingcheng said directly, without the slightest shy away, let alone coveting Yu Jin's speculation.
"Well, then go ahead, once the arresting force is found here, it will send people to search nearby." Fang Xuanling nodded.
If the body can be found, then Zhou Tai's identity as an assassin can be very certain.
The interrogation of the surrounding people is based on the idea of attacking on two fronts, determining the scope as much as possible, narrowing the scope of the search, reducing the huge workload, and also helping to solve the case faster.
Although the emperor did not give them a time limit to solve the case, but this time he sent so many people over, and also sent all three of their cabinet members, doesn't this still explain the problem?
The time to solve the case is naturally as early as possible.
