The murder weapon was a narrow and sharp steel knife, and there was a brocade guard beside him, Jing Zhankun's first reaction was naturally an embroidered spring knife. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The idea of info made his heart slam a spirit, even looking at Yang Zhen's eyes, there was something wrong: "If things are really as I expected, does Yang Baihu know about it?" Even if he didn't know it, would he continue to investigate the case after thinking about it? Or is it just a random murderer? A series of thoughts filled his entire head at once.

Yang Zhen also noticed the strangeness of Jing Zhankun behind him, and after looking back at the other party's eyes that were not too trusting, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Brother Jing suspects that this wound is caused by our Jinyiwei's embroidered spring knife?" "It's better to keep some words in your heart and say them.

Jing Zhankun didn't expect Yang Zhen's reaction to be so fast, and an embarrassed look suddenly appeared on his face: "This ...... Please also ask Yang Baihu not to blame, it is really that the lower officials can't think of a second possibility for a while. Of course, this is just a little random conjecture on the part of the lower officials, and it can't be true......"

Yang Zhen smiled at him: "It's not unreasonable for Brother Jing to think about it once, I won't blame you in the future." You can also rest assured, even if this matter is really related to Jinyiwei, I will definitely do it and find out the truth to comfort the souls of those who have died! ”

Although Jing Zhankun may not be able to fully believe Yang Zhen's words, he has to show admiration at this time: "Yang Baihu is selfless, which is really admired by the lower officials!" ”

"But ......" Yang Zhen pondered for a while before admonishing: "After all, this matter is very important, and this alone cannot be concluded that it was done by the people of Jinyiwei, after all, if they want to kill people, there are other ways, and they don't have to use the embroidered spring knife to expose their identities at all." Therefore, I hope that Brother Jing can strictly abide by this matter, and don't let others know about it, and cause trouble in vain. ”

It was not the first time Jing Zhankun had handled the case, of course he knew the rules when handling the case, so he nodded solemnly: "Yang Baihu can rest assured, the lower officials will not talk nonsense about this matter at will." ”

After this inspection, the sky was completely dark, and Yang Zhen ended the investigation on the first day and said goodbye and went home. It can be said that today's harvest is quite large, at least it can be confirmed that the fire was deliberately set on fire, and as for the identity of the murderer, it will continue to be investigated later.

I thought that since there were major discoveries and breakthroughs in the first day of investigation, the progress of the subsequent investigation should be quite smooth. But the result was a great disappointment to Yang Zhen, because in the next five or six days, he just went around in place and never found more useful clues.

Of course, the people of Shuntianfu have not sat still in the past few days, and they have still done a lot of things. For example, investigate the identity and background of the shopkeeper of the "Food for Heaven" restaurant and his owner to see if it is possible for them to set fire to themselves. After confirming that they could not have done such a thing, they checked to see if any of their enemies had done such things in revenge.

But the results are also average. Businessmen are already careful about making money in a harmonious way, and they will not easily grudge with others, and even if there is really any holiday, it is generally not deep, and it is impossible to cause such a tragedy as today.

After finding out the problem here, they also checked the situation of the shops around "Food for the Sky", because maybe the murderer also thought that the government would investigate like this, and deliberately found the shop next to it to set fire, and then naturally affected the person he wanted to take revenge on. But the result was also average, and the nearby merchants did not form such a resentful enemy at all. As a result, the case was temporarily deadlocked.

Fortunately, Yang Zhen has gained a lot when he comes up, and he can give an explanation to the imperial court, so for the time being, the imperial court does not blame them for their ineffective work. But like Jing Zhankun, including Sun Yizheng and others, they all know very well that as long as they can't give a clear clue within half a month, they are afraid that those adults will have to speak, and even impeach them.

Those who just watch and gossip will never understand how difficult it is to actually do the facts. In their minds, since the court has asked you to do things, you have to be diligent and hardworking, and at the same time you have to get things done, otherwise it is a sin and should be punished. They never put themselves in the shoes of others and think about how hard it is for others to do this.

Moreover, the impact of the fire this time was extremely bad, which made the officials feel more interested and necessary to speak. Maybe the bullet they used to impeach Shuntianfu and Jinyiwei for their ineffective handling of the case had already been written, and they would be played at the same time as soon as the time came.

Sun Yi has been in the officialdom of the capital for several years, so he naturally understands the doorway. So on the evening of the 26th, after Yang Zhen and the others still didn't make more progress, he had to come forward to talk to Yang Zhen: "Yang Baihu, this official has a few words that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Whenever this sentence comes up, the speaker actually means that there are a few words to say that should not be said. Yang Zhen wanted to tell him directly that it was not appropriate to speak, but in the end he smiled bitterly: "Sun Fu Yin, please say it directly." ”

"In the past few days, you have been out early and returned late to all kinds of busy officials, and they also know how difficult it is for you, although it has been difficult to make progress in the case, but you can't be blamed for not doing your best." Sun Yizheng first said a few good words, and then changed the conversation: "But others can't see this, especially those imperial historians, they only focus on the result." If we can't come up with a decent conclusion for a long time, we are afraid that ......" does not need to be said more.

Yang Zhen frowned when he heard this, this is the unfavorable factor after the case is linked to politics. Because in the eyes of people with good intentions, the case is not a simple case, but will be linked to political disputes, as long as they are given a little opportunity, they can rise up storms. In order to give an explanation to the people above, in order to silence the mouths of those officials, even if the officials handling the case knew that the evidence was insufficient and knew that the designated suspect was wronged, but for their own considerations, they had to settle the case hastily with no conscience.

But Yang Zhen didn't want to do this, it was irresponsible to the victims and himself! If the guy who killed hundreds of innocent lives is allowed to get away with it, the first thing Yang Zhen can't get over is himself. Although he was dissatisfied with the hint in Sun Yizheng's words, he still forced his anger and asked, "I don't know what Lord Sun's plans are?" ”

"This ......" glanced at Yang Zhen, who was obviously angry, but Sun Yizheng still said: "If you can find more clues as soon as possible, it is naturally best to lock the identity of the suspect." But if it can't be done for a long time, it can only be said that the matter of the deceased's knife wound will be reported to the imperial court. I don't know what Yang Baihu wants? After saying the last words, Sun Yizheng was certainly a little uneasy, and Jing Zhankun on the side was even more embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Yang Zhen's expression.

Although Yang Zhen had told the other party not to casually tell others about this discovery, Yang Zhen did not feel too dissatisfied with this matter. He also knew that the pressure Jing Zhankun was facing was far greater than his own, because Sun Yizheng would put all the pressure on this subordinate, so after he couldn't prevaricate, he had to tell the little clues he had concealed before.

And Sun Yizheng is in his interest to do so. As long as the suspicion is shifted to Jinyiwei, then they will be much less criticized in the future. Even in the end, they can arbitrarily accuse a certain Jinyi guard of arson, which is enough to give an explanation to the court and the people of the world.

It's just that Yang Zhen really can't agree with his wishful thinking: "It's understandable for Lord Sun to think so." But have you thought carefully about the suspicion mentioned below? If the people of Jinyiwei really did such a thing, why would they so blatantly use the embroidered spring knife, a murder weapon that is easy to be seen at a glance? ”

"Well, it's not hard to explain." Sun Yizheng was obviously prepared, so he immediately said: "First, he felt that after setting the fire, people would only recognize the body as being burned, and it would be impossible to check other causes of death. In fact, this point has been successful before, if it weren't for Yang Baihu's careful heart, it would not have been possible to make this discovery. Second, that's ...... The murderer caught Yang Baihu's inference, and felt that the more obvious the flaw, the less people would be suspicious, so he dared to kill people with an embroidered spring knife so boldly and leave clues. ”

His two reasons can indeed explain Yang Zhen's doubts, but Yang Zhen still can't accept it. He didn't think that the people of Jinyiwei would do such a crazy thing, but for a while, he couldn't refute it.

He knew better that bureaucrats like Sun Yizheng would not insist on truth and truth in the face of interests. Even if he refuses, in the face of pressure, Sun Fuyin will report the matter alone, and if the other party is more insidious at that time, he will even be charged with covering up, so that people suspect that he has anything to do with this case.

Although these inferences are a bit of thinking about people to villains, it is indispensable to guard against people, and Yang Zhen can't help but think about things for the worst.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was silent after listening to his words, his expression was cloudy and uncertain, and Sun Yizheng didn't feel nervous. If it weren't for the last resort, he wouldn't have thought of leading the troubles to Jinyiwei's side, knowing that it would greatly offend Liu Shou and them, which would inevitably bring a lot of trouble. And now, if he can't convince Yang Zhen, I'm afraid that he hasn't reported it yet, and Jin Yiwei's side will know about it first, so it's unknowable what variables will be, so he is also very concerned about Yang Zhen's attitude towards this matter.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Zhen finally looked at Sun Yizheng and said, "How long does Lord Sun think we can support it?" ”

Sun Yizheng knew that he was referring to a situation like the one in front of him where there was no progress and no criticism, and he thought for a moment and said, "This official thinks that by the beginning of next month at the latest, there will be speech officials who will start to print the seal one after another. ”

"Okay, then please give me four more days. As long as there is still no progress and clues by next month, Lord Sun can report this matter, and I won't blame you. ”

Sun Yizheng was overjoyed when he heard this, although he would be more passive if he was a few days late, but it was not easy to get Yang Zhen's concessions, so he agreed: "Okay, it's decided!" ”
