After Jia Xu and Du Ji arrived in Chang'an, Dong Shouye was talking to the two in the mansion.

Suddenly, a little guy walked in in from outside the door in a panic and said to Dong Shouye: "Childe, something is wrong!" ”

Dong Shouye frowned, and then asked, "What happened, to be so panicked, speak slowly?" ”

The little guy took a breath, and then said, "Childe, someone from the prison just reported that Na Ding Guan had bitten his tongue and committed suicide!" ”

Dong Shouye was shocked when he heard this, stood up from the side of the case, walked to the side of the little servant and asked, "When did Ding Guan die?" ”

The little guy replied, "It's been an hour since I died, and the villain has just received the news." ”

Dong Shouye smiled bitterly at Jia Xu and Du Ji: "This son originally planned to take the two of you to the prison to interrogate Na Ding Guan, but I didn't expect this person to commit suicide. ”

Seeing this, Du Ji asked the little guy, "What did Ding Guan explain before he died?" ”

The little servant replied: "Nading Guan is also a hard bone, although he was tortured, he didn't even say a word. ”

Du Ji stood up, walked a few steps, and then said: "Childe, according to the lower officials, this Ding Guan should be afraid that he would not be able to bear the punishment and reveal the secret in his heart, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide. ”

Dong Shouye pondered for a while and said: "The two of you have come all the way, tired, the investigation of the case is not a day's work, it is better to go back and rest for the time being, the future will be long." ”

Jia Xu and Du Qi nodded yes and retreated.

It's good to have a good master who knows how to feel sorry for people!

For several days in a row, Dong Shouye, Jia Xu and Du Yi were all analyzing, investigating the case, and trying to find out who was behind the scenes, but they found nothing and found nothing.

In fact, Dong Shouye was also secretly suspicious in his heart, and several people had already walked into Dong Shouye's sight.

One of them is Wang Yun. Basically, anyone who has read history knows that Wang Yun planned to kill Dong Zhuo, and from this point of view, Wang Yun is very suspicious in the motive for committing the crime. Moreover, Wang Yun, as the Situ of the dynasty and a powerful figure in the court, does not have much difficulty in assassinating Dong Zhuo with just a councilor, at present, Dong Zhuo has great trust in Wang Yun, and from the perspective of his ability to commit crimes, Wang Yun also has this ability and opportunity.

The second is Zheng Tai. On the day of the birthday banquet, Zheng Tai's appearance was particularly strange and very different from the past. At that time, Dong Shouye was a little surprised by Zheng Tai's strange behavior, but he didn't pay much attention to it. And Xun You and Zhong Xuan, who Zheng Tai introduced to Dong Shouye that day, were both too close to Zheng Tai, and it is very likely that they are accomplices. However, this is the situation that Dong Shouye is most unwilling to see, and sometimes he even dare not think about it. Zheng Tai, as a well-known Confucian in the world, his personality charm is undoubted, and Dong Shouye was also impressed by the other party during the period when he studied under Zheng Tai, and admired Zheng Tai. One side is the mentor and the other is his biological father, and the last thing Dong Shouye wants to see is that the two go against each other and face each other.

Third, other big people in Chang'an City, such as Ma Riyan, Huangfu Song and others, have certain suspicions, but they are not very big.

After a period of monitoring and investigation, Dong Shouye got a result, that is, the object of current suspicion has not had any intersection with Ding Guan in recent times, except for a public place like the court, where they will say a few words to each other, and there is not even a superfluous word in other aspects.

After checking these people, Dong Shouye was puzzled, could it be that this assassination was just from Ding Guan's original intention, and no one else participated, to be honest, it was difficult for Dong Shouye to accept this result.

Dong Shouye discussed with Jia Xu and Du Yi to see if there were any omissions in other places, and after several exclusions, there was still no result.

Dong Shouye asked Du Ji: "Bohou, is it possible that there is no mastermind behind this assassination, just the impulse of Ding Guan alone." ”

Du Ji pondered for a while and said, "At present, all the evidence shows that this is indeed the case. After speaking, he wiped his two mustaches, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed in his mind, but he was decisively grabbed by Du Yi, only to hear him continue: "Childe, we might as well expand the scope of some searches, although Ding Guan himself does not make friends with others, but he can pass on news through guò servants." ”

Dong Shouye followed his words, monitored some suspicious objects, and asked them one by one when he had the opportunity.

Even so, there was no result, and the servants of Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, Ma Riyan and others did not have any intersection with Ding Guan's servants.

The line of servants is also broken, and it is impossible to find out.

Dong Shouye is even more painful now, if there is really no progress in the case, and now Ding Guan has committed suicide, and there is no proof of his death, then the case can only be closed.

But Dong Shouye's heart was unwilling, and he felt that things would never be so simple.

So, he turned his heart to Dian Wei and instructed: "Evil, you choose a few people from the army who can write, and write down and sort out what everyone has done every day in the Ding Guan Mansion for the past two months." ”

Dian Wei followed the order.

Dong Shouye also felt quite helpless about this, in the twentieth century, anyone could read and write, and they could write and make a record, but in the Han Dynasty, there were very few people who could recognize a few words, and most people were illiterate.

Du Ji and Jia Xu are not illiterate, but Dong Shouye, who is very trivial, has no technical content and is time-consuming, is not willing to overuse it, and let the two big talents do this kind of thing.

Fortunately, there are still a few literate people in the army.

There are only six people in Ding Guan's mansion, one is Ding Guan's concubine, Ding Guan's main room has been dead for a while, and the old boy and old cow have eaten tender grass and found a young and beautiful one. One is the housekeeper of Ding Guan's house, who has followed Ding Guan for many years, and can be said to be Ding Guan's henchman. An old mother who is responsible for washing clothes, a cook who is responsible for cooking, a scholar who is in charge of Dingguan, and the last one is a miscellaneous worker, doing some chores in the house.

These six people seem to be very innocent, although the things they confess are chattering, but on the whole, they are consistent with their positions, nothing has happened, and there is nothing abnormal from the confession.

Dong Shouye read the confessions of several people twice and found nothing abnormal.

Du Ji also read the confessions of several people, then thought for a while, and then said to Dong Shouye: "There is a problem with this housekeeper. ”

Dong Shouye was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Du Ji what to do next.

Du Yi asked Dong Shouye to interrogate Ding Guan's cook.

After a while, Dian Wei brought the cook to Dong Shouye.

After the cook saw Dong Shouye, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "My lord, the slave is just a cook, she doesn't know anything, the slave is wronged!" After speaking, he still knelt on the ground with tears and snot and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
