Chapter 424: Breathtaking
"After Lord Li Xiong wrote the book, the emperor soon ordered Weichen to thoroughly investigate the case, and also set up a temporary yamen, the yamen of the capital inspector." Meng Yan said, "Wechen knows that this is the emperor's trust in Wechen, and Wechen secretly swore in his heart that he must investigate this case to the bottom of the matter, let the dead rest in peace, and comfort the living." ”
"Master Meng, tell me quickly, how did you investigate the case?"
The officials present listened anxiously, grinding and chirping, why didn't they get to the point, this is like the night of candles in the cave room, the groom and the bride have entered the cave room, but they don't drink a glass of wine for a long time, this terrible person squatting in the corner of the wall to listen to the wall is in a hurry, and he can't wait to go in directly and get things done.
"I'm all anxious, listen to Meng Aiqing, the following story is more exciting!" Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, not at all embarrassed by the impatience of the ministers.
"Wechen will start directly with the investigation of the case!"
It's not that Meng Yan deliberately hangs his appetite, but he must explain the ins and outs of this case clearly, and at the same time show that he is open-minded, and he will not favor Bai Suxin because of the relationship between Wen Xiaoyu and Bai Suxin.
He told Wen Xiaoyu and Bai Suxin's sisterhood, the purpose was to tell everyone that I didn't hide my secrets, and my attitude when I handled this case was fair and open, and I didn't favor anyone.
There is no excuse for some people to find fault with themselves in this area in the future.
First of all, if you want to frame yourself for bending the law for personal gain, then everyone in the Fengtian Temple today can testify for him.
"If it's a homicide, then there has to be a murder scene. The scene is in Su Xinzhai, Su Xinzhai was first sealed by the East Factory, and then the case was transferred to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department sent someone to seal it, it stands to reason that the case has been more than a year, and how many clues are left at the scene of the crime, it is really difficult to say, but if you want to understand the true situation of the case, investigating the scene is the first step! ”
"Master Meng is young. I didn't expect it to be an old prison! "Inside the Fengtian Temple. There are not a few people who have been parents and judged, and Meng Yan said this, even if he was jealous or envious. This article must be recognized. People are really professional.
"Who is this lord?"
"All the royal history is good!"
"It turns out that you are Lord Iron-Faced Imperial Shi Yang. The lower official is disrespectful! Meng Yan said busily.
"Lord Meng, in front of the emperor, you better hurry up and tell the case." Yang Shanshan hurriedly gave up. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are here, what's the matter with the two of us giving up here?
"Weichen took people to Suxinzhai with Weifu, and the on-site investigation found many suspicious points, just when we were about to leave, we found a corpse in a utility room downstairs!"
"The appearance of this corpse made Wei Chen very excited, and at the same time felt a little tricky, because this kind of case, the first time the scene was investigated, it should be normal to not find it, but once it is found, it means that there is a new situation in the case, especially the murder of the bones at the scene of this crime!"
"I also encountered this situation once when Master Meng said......"
"Don't interrupt Lord Song, listen to Lord Meng."
"Oooh......"
"For examination, this is a female corpse, and it was violated before death, and the utility room where the corpse is located is not the first scene of death, but because the corpse has decomposed, the cause of death cannot be judged at once, we will take the body back to the yamen for examination, and at the same time, Su Xinzhai will be re-sealed, and every corner has been searched to make sure that no other clues have been left."
"According to the physical characteristics of the corpse, we quickly locked down the identity of the deceased, and it is very likely that it is Bai Suxin's Yahuan Xi'er!"
"After confirmation and comparison, as well as Bai Suxin's personal identification of the body, we basically determined that the deceased was Xi'er, and moreover, he also found a formed baby in Xi'er's belly!"
"One corpse, two lives, who is so vicious?"
"Xi'er is Bai Suxin's maid, after Bai Suxin's case, she disappeared, in the investigation of Bai Suxin's case in Dongchang, such a person around the suspect did not appear as a witness, and we did not find evidence of her alibi, as if this person was forgotten, isn't it strange?"
"Yes, there is no mention of this person in the file handed over by Dongchang to the Criminal Department, and we have also investigated the case, but it is not involved in this person, which is strange, why didn't we know about this person's deposit before?" The officials of the Criminal Department were surprised and inexplicable.
"This question is easy to answer, because the people and witnesses involved in this case deliberately concealed the existence of this person, they did not say, or were bribed, but did not say, if Xi'er's body was not found, I am afraid that when the case is retried, there may not be such a key witness!"
"This is all a good thing that Dongchang does!" An official secretly cursed.
"It's not a matter of one or two days for people to take care of people's lives in Dongchang......
"Silence, silence!"
"Xi'er's death shows that Bai Suxin's case must have serious grievances, otherwise why was the master imprisoned and waited until the capital punishment was pronounced, but the next person died tragically?"
"It is difficult to find direct clues to investigate the case that has disappeared a year ago, so Weichen feels that investigating Xi'er's death and the murderer who killed him is a breakthrough, and finding the murderer of Xi'er may be able to solve the truth of Bai Suxin's adultery murder case, this girl must know the lady best."
"Meng Aiqing's reasoning method of investigating the case reminds me of a famous minister in the Wu Zhou period, and he is also famous all over the world for reasoning and judging cases!"
"How dare Weichen be compared with Di Gong, the emperor has tormented Weichen!"
"Meng Aiqing doesn't have to be too humble, in time, Aiqing may be able to become a person like Di Gong, but I don't know!"
"Di Renjie is a civil servant, and Weichen is a military general, which is not easy to compare."
"Haha, that's what I said, this Wenchen military general can't be confused, Meng Aiqing, please continue."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Yan nodded, "When Wechen investigated Xi'er's past, he found that this girl who was only seventeen years old actually had a very chaotic private life. ”
"Chaotic private life, reconciliation?"
"It's that she's more open in that regard, and at the same time maintains an improper relationship with several men!" Meng Yan explained.
"What kind of young lady is this, what kind of maid ring is there, isn't it unusual?"
"Lord Wang, to use an inappropriate analogy, your wife steals people, is your mother also stealing people?" Meng Yan asked.
"Meng Yan, you insulted my wife and my mother......" Wang Zuo was angry and rushed out, about to fight Meng Yan.
But he was pulled by his comrades behind him.
"I didn't insult his wife and mother, it's just a metaphor, it's not illegal to use a metaphor, right?" Meng Yan said innocently.
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, this Wang Zuo is simply humiliating himself, Wen Xiaoyu, who targeted Meng Yan's concubine at the beginning just now, is good now, and the people have returned.
"Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the old minister, the surname Meng humiliated the wife of the old minister and the mother of the old minister like this, this has been spread, how can the old minister see people?"
"Lord Wang, you also said that Yahuan is like this, and the master is no better, the official just makes an analogy and says that the daughter-in-law is not good, and the mother-in-law is not much better, isn't that what it means, you have to say that I humiliate you, the emperor and all the ministers are there, haven't they heard it, I'm just making an analogy?"
"Then why don't you use other people's analogies and pick on me?"
"You provoked it first, and I didn't provoke you?" Meng Yan rolled his eyes and said.
"You, you ......" Wang Zuo trembled angrily, this guy has always been Wang Zhen's pioneer in biting people in the court, now it's good, the bite is bitten all over the body, today's words are spreading, maybe what will it become?
has a grudge against a villain like Wang Zuo, and he can't help but laugh in his stomach, this wicked person is still a wicked man.
"Meng Aiqing, pay attention to your words, don't make such comparisons with the wives and mothers of my courtiers!" Zhu Qizhen scolded, but obviously meant to protect Meng Yan.
Meng Yan is right, the master is the master, and the subordinate is the subordinate, even if there is a relationship, but it is two people, the subordinate makes mistakes, misbehaves, and cannot be blamed on the master.
In this way, Zhu Qizhen, who is the emperor's subordinate to hundreds or thousands of minions, it is normal for there to be a few unscrupulous people, isn't it even wrong for him?
"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Yan bowed slightly, "After Weichen's investigation, in addition to having an improper relationship with the reporter and witness Jiao Hong in this case, Xi'er also maintained this relationship with her fellow businessman He Wendong, that is, the man who bought him to the Bai family in the first place, in addition, when Jiao Hong and He Wendong were drunk, Xi'er was also raped once by Master Cao Qincao, who was sentenced to a thousand households in Dongchang. ”
"That's three men!"
"What does Master Meng mean is that one of these three men is the murderer of Xi'er?" The right attendant of the Criminal Department, Jin Kao, asked.
"No, the person who killed Xi'er with his own hands is not among them, but Xi'er's death has something to do with these three people."
"Why is that, the murderer is not among these three?"
"Yes, the murderer is not in the middle of the three, Xi'er generally does not dare to have a tryst with these three men at home, for fear that Bai Suxin will know that He Wendong has a long-term private room in the Hejian Hall, and this is where they have a tryst." Meng Yan Road.
"After talking for a long time, Lord Meng hasn't gotten to the point, who killed Xi'er and why did he kill her?" The anxious Shang Luo asked.
"Lord Shang, why was Xi'er killed, excluding love killing and vendetta, this third possibility is to kill people and kill people, what do you think?"
"Yes, it seems that at present, if Xi'er is the only eyewitness at the scene, then she may witness the entire process of the crime, if she is alive, there must be a great threat to the real murderer!" Jin Kao stepped forward and agreed.
"Lord Jin is right, according to our investigation, Xi'er is indeed the only eyewitness at the scene, so the real murderer must shut her up, and the dead will never speak, of course, the murderer will not kill directly, then he will be exposed, so he carefully arranged a plan to exterminate the mouth!" Meng Yan explained. (To be continued......)
