“…… Ji Gongzi, you see, there are still scratches and a little blood stains on the wall of this courtyard, and based on the situation of the autopsy and the miscellaneous footprints outside the courtyard wall, we can roughly conclude that this body was thrown in from outside the wall, and there are eight suspects......"

In the Shangjing Daily, at this time, there were people from the Yamen of Wanping County, the Yamen of the Beicheng Division, and the head of the Fang Lane where the Shangjing Daily Office was located.

Saying this, Wang Zhutou of the Beicheng Terracotta Division on the side also nodded.

"The two heads are clever, and in just a few hours, they have a clear decision...... According to this, the Shangjing Daily should now have nothing to do with this murder case? Ji Qian looked at the two of them separately and said with a smile.

A few days after the publication of the Shangjing Daily, he was competing with the Yanjing Morning News, and now such a bad incident happened, which was likely to affect the operation of the newspaper, and he couldn't help but be depressed and annoyed, and he couldn't wait to put aside the case as soon as possible.

"This ......"

Tang Zhutou and Wang Zhutou glanced at each other, then turned their gaze to Ji Qian, and spread their hands with a wry smile, "Ji Gongzi, it's not that simple, after all, the deceased was found in the Shangjing Daily, and before the eight suspects were arrested, the Shangjing Daily couldn't get out of it anyway." ”

"Obviously someone threw it in from outside...... Forget it, you don't understand the regulations of the Yamen for handling cases, and if you can't get rid of it, you can't get rid of it, but the Shangjing Daily is now at the beginning of its publication, and the newspaper is busy with affairs. Listening to Wang Zhutou's words, Ji Qian frowned and said.

"Ji Gongzi's face, a certain nature has to be given. However, the interrogation and screening of the people of Shangjing Daily, as well as the people of Zhang Zhai, etc., and the elimination of suspicion, always have to be carried out, which is necessary to handle the case, not to mention that it is a murder case, and I also ask Ji Gongzi to be considerate. Tang Zhutou explained.

"Ji Gongzi rest assured, we will do things as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the affairs of the newspaper too much." Wang Zhutou said next.

The two of them were very polite to Ji Qian. Although they are just a catcher in the official office, they are also well-informed, knowing that Ji Qian's father Ji Ruowang is not only a popular person of the prince, but also a popular person of the emperor, and the son of this kind of family is not something they can afford to offend.

"Well, then you will do it as soon as possible." Ji Qian nodded.

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Zhong on the side.

Zhang Zhong understood, and immediately gave a few words to a subordinate, who hurried away, and handed Zhang Zhong two silver seals when he returned.

Then Zhang Zhongxun took the opportunity to stuff the two silver seals into the hands of Tang and Wang Erzhutou respectively, and the two of them checked it, about twenty or thirty taels, and then they each smiled.

The next case was handled at two ends, one was to investigate the people of Shangjing Daily, Zhang's house, and so on, and the other was to ask the heads of all districts and alleys to come and identify the deceased.

At that moment, a courtyard of Zhang's house was vacated for the investigation of suspects.

It is said to be an investigation, but there are a large number of people, but in fact, it is a simple interrogation record. Except for Ji Qian, from Zhang Zhong onwards, they have all been investigated.

At the same time, the heads of the alleys in the various districts also arrived and began to identify the deceased.

Eventually, the chief of the forest square of Qianhuai Fang in Xicheng recognized the deceased as the Zhou blacksmith in their lane.

Upon learning of this news, Tang and Wang Er, who were presiding over the investigation, immediately left a few of their subordinates to continue the investigation, and they quickly led people to Qianhuaifang in Xicheng.

When he arrived in Xicheng, Wang Zhutou let people know about the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, and on the other hand, he entered the courtyard of the Zhou blacksmith with Tang Zhutou all the way.

Kyoto is divided into five Yamen of the Terracotta Division in the middle, east, west, south and north, and the people outside are called the Five Cities Terracotta Division, but in fact they are independent.

The deceased in this case was found in Beicheng, and the Beicheng Terracotta Division naturally had to send people, and now it was found that the deceased was a resident of Xicheng, and the Xicheng Terracotta Division should be notified to intervene.

It didn't take much effort, Tang Zhutou, Wang Zhutou, and Chen Zhutou of the Xicheng Terracotta Division gathered in the courtyard of the blacksmith Zhou.

According to the many clues left at the scene, such as small blood beads splashed on the ground and walls, newly replaced dusty mats, messy footprints in the house and courtyard, mud rubbed off the courtyard wall, etc., the three catchers easily concluded that the person was killed in this courtyard, and then thrown into the Shangjing Daily office overnight.

The three catchers couldn't help but sneer, and among them, Chen Catcher of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division laughed and scolded, "A bunch of fools from the straight lady thieves, what kind of mystery they have made, they really think they can hide from the world!" ”

……

……

Just after noon in the afternoon, Ye Mingcheng came to Jia Wei's advertising office again.

Telling Jia Wei about the deceased who he heard about, Jia Wei groaned slightly, and then showed a relieved look.

This week, the blacksmith's reputation was ruined, and he was just an ordinary person, although he was killed, it would not cause a storm and ruin his overall plan.

However, the beggar of this immortal temple is clever and must not deal with the other party in the future, lest the boat capsize in the gutter.

After thinking about it, Jia Wei knocked on the table and said to Ye Mingcheng, "So far as I heard about this case, I don't need to inquire anymore, as I said before, there is still something I want to ask you to do, you should write it down and do it according to it." ”

Ye Mingcheng nodded again and again, and then followed his ears.

Speaking of which, at this time, he was quite excited in his heart, sparing such a mistake, and the second master still trusted him.

He is determined to handle the next matter properly and live up to the trust of the second master.

Jia Wei lowered his voice, confessed, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead." Remember, wait until three days later, and then do it, and now the morning report will be launched first. ”

Ye Mingcheng agreed and left in a hurry, and after a while, Jia Wei also left the office and went to the editorial office of Yijin.

When he came to the editor-in-chief's office of the editorial department, Kong Li was sitting upright behind the desk, and Jia Wei casually pulled a chair and sat down in front of the desk.

Kong Li got up and poured tea, and the two of them drank tea and talked.

Yesterday, Kong Li continued, Jia Wei originally approved him for a three-day vacation, and he came to the newspaper office after three days, but Kong Li took the time to come this afternoon.

For Jia Wei, this is also good, just to ask the other party to do something, so that he can personally talk to those editors and reporters.

While talking, while looking at Kong Li, his face was a little blue, and his spirit was not full, too, it was a cave room last night, and he was drunk again, probably it could only be like this.

He is much younger than Kong Li, and he is the boss, so it is not easy to joke about this topic at will, so he asked other aspects, "After three dynasties, will you bring Mrs. You and your sister-in-law?" ”

"Yes, the two of them stayed in the countryside, and they couldn't rest assured."

"In the future, your family will live in the Nancheng mansion?"

"Where, after a month's stay, they moved back here. It's always a new house at the moment, so if it's not good, move in. ”

After a few idle words, Jia Wei stopped talking about it and turned to the topic, "Editor-in-Chief Kong, it is said that there is a murder case in the Beijing Daily today, can we have a manuscript in this regard in the morning newspaper?" ”

"Yes, yes, I just flipped through the manuscript, and there is such an article." Kong Li thought for a moment and quickly responded.

"Let this manuscript be published tomorrow and put it on the front page." Jia Wei immediately instructed.

"Okay."

"Also, there will be follow-up reports on this case until the 20th."

"Do you want to do a topic?"

"Not really."

……

……

Jia Wei naturally knows in his heart that readers' attention to this kind of ordinary homicide will not exceed the heat of a few days, from tomorrow's fifteenth to the end of the report on the 20th, it has been six days, and no one will pay attention to it if it continues to be reported, so the choice to end on the 20th is after some consideration.

In addition, the report of the morning newspaper is actually just to let more people know that there has been a murder in the Beijing Daily, not the main event in the plan, six days is enough, and three days later, the highlight of Ye Mingcheng's side will appear, and the Shanghai Daily will really be dealt a fatal blow.

Kong Li was also aware of the unusual nature of Jia Wei's move.

An ordinary murder case was actually arranged for six days to be reported, but it was unprecedented.

Although he didn't know the truth about the turbulent tide here, with his intuition, he also knew that Jia Wei was using this case to attack the rival of Shangjing Daily.
