3. The Imperial City Chapter 135 Persuasion
I only heard one person respond: "Well, the city has not been peaceful recently, I'll take a look." It was the voice of Guo Hongming, the manager of the forensic office.
Mao Feng made a boo gesture to Canghai and pulled him to hide behind the door, wanting to wait for Guo Hongming to leave before going out.
But I heard Guo Hongming ask, "Is there anything unusual tonight?"
One of the guards said, "General Guo, everything is normal." ”
Guo Hongming said: "That's good." In the past few days, murders in the city have become more and more frequent, and everyone needs to be on good spirits. ”
The two guards said yes in unison.
Then there was no sound for a while.
Just when the two of them suspected that he had left, Guo Hongming spoke again: "By the way, there was a murder case in the prison today, and a piece of evidence was sent to us?"
Mao Feng and Canghai suddenly raised their hearts to their throats, thinking that he would leave after turning around the door, but Na Cheng thought that he not only dragged his feet and didn't leave, but also mentioned the matter of rags. The two glanced at each other, and invariably saw a hint of nervousness on each other's faces.
The voice of the guard outside was a little hesitant, and he was also nervous when he thought about it, and said, "Yes...... Yes. ”
Guo Hongming said: "This case involves a family of relatives, that thing is the only evidence, the stakes are very important, the king of Zhongshan also asked me tonight, you are so close to watch." ”
The guard said vaguely, "Yes." ”
After Guo Hongming finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and were about to go out to check, when suddenly Guo Hongming's footsteps stopped and asked, "Why is the door of the physical evidence room unlocked?"
The two of them were startled and hurriedly shrank back. But the guards didn't dare to hide it after all, and said, "The wind is inside." ”
Guo Hongming said: "In the middle of the night, he didn't have a shift, what was he doing inside?"
One of the guards said, "I said I came to help the guard battalion get something." ”
Guo Hongming said: "Help the guard battalion get things, why don't the people in the guard battalion come and get it themselves?"
The guard said, "He said that the situation is urgent, and that there is a special matter." ”
Guo Hongming's tone was obviously displeased, and said: "The investigation and handling of the case, the evidence is extremely important, we must be very cautious as caretakers, everything should go through the normal process, even if it is our own people, we can't give convenience at will, otherwise no one can afford to deal with the problem." What's the special thing he's talking about?"
The guard forgot to ask just now, and couldn't say it for a while.
Guo Hongming was a little angry and said: "You didn't even figure out what was going on, so you let people in, you guys are really fat." Call him out to me. ”
The guards were busy, and one of them trotted in. Seeing that the action was exposed, Mao Feng whispered to Canghai: "It seems that this rag can't be taken out, Guo Jiang has an upright temperament, and for the sake of today's plan, he has to tell him all about it and explain the benefits and harms." ”
Canghai nodded. At this time, the guard who came in had already seen them, waved his hand and said, "Guo is coming, hurry up and put it back, put it back." ”
Wet Wind handed him back the rags and walked out of the evidence room. Guo Hongming made a straight face and said, "Follow me." ”
The two followed him out of the evidence room and to the council chamber outside. Canghai saw that the steward of the forensic office had a serious expression, Ling Ran was full of authority, and he had done something with a weak heart, and he was a little uneasy. Sure enough, as soon as Guo Hongming stood still, he pointed to Canghai and said, "Who is this person, why haven't I seen it?"
Mao Feng said: "His name is Canghai, he was originally from the scout camp, and now he is working beside His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
Guo Hongming was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "The people around the second prince?" Xiang Canghai took a cursory look and said: "Tonight's matter, I will report it to the second prince and learn that since you are the second prince's person, the second prince will have the final say." But Mao Feng, you are now a person from the forensic office, I don't care if you are the son of the king of Nancheng or not, this is the forensic office, and I am in charge of the affairs of the forensic office. Anyway, what did you mean by running to the evidence room late at night without getting the papers?"
The wind was not in a hurry, he flicked the hem of his clothes with both hands, and knelt on the ground, and actually made a kneeling bow directly.
Putting aside the official status of the Identification Office, he is the son of the King of Xicheng after all, and no matter how he does something wrong, Guo Hongming does not dare to accept this big gift, so he hurriedly stepped aside and said, "What are you doing?"
Mao Feng said: "The subordinates want to ask Guo Jiang for one thing. ”
Guo Hongming had a slight anger between his eyebrows, snorted, and said: "You have read the guidelines and provisions of the Identification Office, and you can do what is stipulated in the articles, and it is useless to ask me." ”
Mao Feng said: "The subordinates are not worshipping for themselves. ”
Guo Hongming said: "For everyone is the same, you hurry up." ”
Mao Feng said: "What if it is for the Rock Country, for the people of the Imperial City?"
Guo Hongming was stunned and said, "Mao Feng, don't open your mouth to come." What do you have to do with the people when you enter the evidence room late at night?"
Mao Feng said: "Let me ask General Guo, the four kings of the imperial city of Wu Ding Fan are in charge of the four cities, and each has more than 100,000 soldiers and generals under his rule, if two of the kings fight, does it have anything to do with the people of the imperial city?"
Guo Hongming was dissatisfied: "The more you talk, the more unreasonable it becomes, the four kings are all pillars of the country, and their hearts are as broad as the sea, how can they fight for no reason?"
Mao Feng said: "But now it's almost time to really fight." The subordinates would rather be discredited than enter the evidence room in violation of the law, just to prevent this from happening. Even if General Guo severely punished me thousands of times, I would admit it. ”
Guo Hongming saw that he did not hesitate to bow down and show his sincerity, which was obviously true, otherwise, with his private status as the young master of Nancheng, how could he be so condescending and noble? ”
Mao Feng stood up and abandoned his clothes in the river after Fan Shengtian and Canghai fought, but unexpectedly found the same shredded cloth in Ding Yushuo's cell, and finally said: "King Xi and King Zhongshan have never been very harmonious, and now that this incident has happened, no one knows what will happen." His subordinates implored Guo to put the overall situation first and temporarily suppress the evidence to avoid chaos. ”
Guo Hongming paced a few steps with his hand in his hand and said: "Although what you said is good, whether the rag is the same as what the Fan family son is wearing is still in the speculation stage, and it has not yet been determined, this is one of them." Second, the statement that the Fan family has discarded his shirt is only your one-sided statement at present, and strictly speaking, it is not enough to be used as an argument for the facts of the case. ”
Mao Feng said: "Then if the rags are confirmed to be part of the Fan family's son's clothes, and the Canghai brothers see the truth, what will Guo Jiang do?"
Guo Hongming said: "What the facts are, then how to deal with them." I believe in the guard battalion's ability to handle cases, no matter what grievances there are, they are temporary, facts are facts, and the truth will come out one day. ”
Mao Feng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said, "But the King of Zhongshan may not think so." It will take time for the truth to be unraveled, and in the time before it is unraveled, who can guarantee that nothing will happen between the two of them?"
Although Guo Hongming is iron-faced and selfless, he is not a stubborn and rigid person.
Mao Feng said: "It is related to the stability of the government, and I hope that Guo will think twice." ”
Before Guo Hongming could answer, someone outside the hall suddenly sneered: "It is said that Guo Hongming and Lord Guo recognize the law but do not recognize people, and the public is selfless, so it turns out that he will be partial." ”
When the three of them heard this voice, their faces immediately changed. But when I saw a person walk in the door, the whole council hall was suddenly cold, like falling into an ice cellar, which was to say that the king of Zhongshan, the king of Zhongshan arrived.
