Chapter 191: Investigation 2
After dawn, Qi Dai took someone to Wen's house with the official document, Wen Jingye came out to receive him with a haggard face, obviously he didn't sleep well and was called up, Qi Dai didn't sleep all night, and when he came, the master had just gotten up and was ready to enter the palace.
"Qi Shilang came early." Shigong saw him hurriedly follow Wen Jingye to the study.
"Master Murong is early." Qi Dai paused and bent over Murong Qingyang.
"Go ahead." Murong Qingyang stretched out outside the door and turned to go out.
"Gong Wenguo, the little nephew brought the official document of inquiry, and also prepared some questions, these people are here to record, and I also ask Shibo to forgive Ah Dai for official business, forgive me!" Qi Dai came up and bent down.
"Well, I promised your father yesterday, let's get started." Wen Jingye sat at his desk, calm.
"According to the little nephew's investigation yesterday, only my father and I have not delivered the grapes in the whole imperial city. Didn't the prince confirm whether all of them had been delivered before sending the report to His Majesty? Qi Dai glanced at the first question his father had written.
"It's confirmed, everyone said that they were all delivered, and they all signed behind the people they sent it." Wen Jingye sat on a chair and held the armrest.
"The two lieutenants began to exchange the people who sent the grapes, do you know about this?" Qi Dai continued to read the second question.
"I don't know, it's against my will, I just asked them to give your father's share and you to give it to you." Wen Jingye felt that such a simple and flattering errand as giving grapes could make himself do this, and he was also drunk.
"Is that Shibo familiar with the lieutenant's subordinates?" Qi Dai asked a third question.
"I've just seen it, I don't know what it's called, and I'm not familiar with it." Wen Jingye continued to answer.
Then the following question is impossible to ask. Skipping to the last one, this is either a problem or his father's plea, Shibo thinks that this matter will be done by someone, and gives some advice to the criminal department. Qi Dai tucked the question piece of paper into his sleeve.
"No, don't make fearless guesses, the facts speak for themselves." Wen Jingye stood up after speaking, ready to send off the guests.
"Shibo, the little nephew retires!" Qi Dai didn't linger long, got up and walked out, turned around and said as if he remembered something: "The little nephew may come again before the case is solved, and I hope Shibo will forgive me." ”
"Go ahead, help your father solve the case, and come whenever there is a problem." Wen Jingye squeezed out a smile to send off the guests.
Qi Hai took the cell boss and the forensic prison doctor to the palace to restore his life, but he had also interrogated the two lieutenants before, and they didn't seem to have anything to doubt except for handing over Qi Dai's to one person to deliver. Qi Hai entered the palace with questions.
"Marquis Qi, Your Majesty asked you to go in." I didn't see the knife father-in-law today, but I changed someone.
"May I ask this little father-in-law, where is the father-in-law of the little knife?" Qi Hai felt bad in his heart.
"Father-in-law Xiaodao is resting in his room today while he is sick." The little father-in-law accompanied the smiling face: "The slave is called Xiao Anzi." ”
"Yes, yes, Grandpa An." Qi Hai didn't stop talking, he saluted first in the Ling'er Palace, and handed Ling'er the case related to last night and earlier today.
"Father, these are these?" Ling'er looked at the paper with the drawings drawn.
"The crime scene of each of those three people is on this paper." Qi Hai also stepped forward to take out the two confessions behind Ling'er: "This is the confession of the two lieutenant generals." ”
Ling'er didn't understand too much, so she pressed the paper on the table, looked up and asked, "Is there anything you need Ling'er's help with?" ”
"There really is one thing, the father-in-law of the knife who first discovered the scene, and the minister wants to ask him for questioning." Qi Hai stood and bowed back.
"Go, I really didn't see him today. Xiao Anzi, let's take all the adults to find the little knife. Ling'er said to the door, and Qi Hai retreated.
Qi Hai rushed to Xiao Daozi's room with a group of people behind him, he was a person from the imperial front, not far from Ling'er's imperial study.
"Father-in-law of the knife, father-in-law of the knife." Xiao Anzi knocked at the door, because Ling'er didn't live here at night, so the people in front of the palace didn't keep vigil at night, only took shifts during the day. Xiao Anzi shouted for a long time and no one answered, and there was some confusion on his face.
"Father-in-law Xiaodao, I'm Qi Hai, come to ask something, don't be nervous." Qi Haihai stepped forward and shouted.
After a while, there was no movement. Xiao Anzi was surprised: "It is said that if you don't work the night shift, you should have gotten up early, although the father-in-law of the knife is not on duty every day, but he is also guarding in front of the emperor if he has nothing to do, I don't see him today, I'm afraid it won't be out." ”
Qi Hai had a bad premonition in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said to Xiao An's father-in-law: "Just in case." I'll ask someone to pry open the door first, and Father-in-law Xiao An will give a witness, and then fix the door before we leave. The contents are not easily handled. ”
"This, you are handling the case, so naturally you all listen to the Marquis of Qi, Your Majesty has already sent a message asking us to cooperate." Xiao Anzi rubbed his hands after speaking.
"Come on, pry the door open." Qi Hai shouted behind him.
In just a moment or two, the door was pried open. Qi Hai and Xiao Anzi walked in first, and the father-in-law of the knife lay on the bed. Xiao Anzi thought that he was sleeping dead, so he stepped forward and pushed it and didn't wake up, and when he touched it, it was cold, so he was so frightened that he stepped back, pointed to the small knife and said: "Qi, Qi, Qi Houye, he, he, he's dead." ”
As soon as Qi Hai heard this, he stepped forward to touch it, and the person was already cold. The prison doctor and the forensic doctor hurriedly stepped forward, and Qi Hai retreated with the rest of the people to avoid destroying the scene again. Xiao Anzi crawled to report to Ling'er.
"My lord, it's like suicide, the poison of oleander was already poisoned in the first half of last night." The forensic doctor and the prison doctor discussed together for a while and then stepped forward to report to Qi Hai, this is because Ling'er herself was afraid that she didn't dare to come, and sent Xiao Taoxin to let Qi Hai have full authority to deal with it.
"Peach Heart Girl, who does Xiao Daozi usually befriend with, he is the eldest father-in-law in front of the emperor, there must be so many..."Qi Hai asked busily.
"To tell the truth, Taoxin has always followed His Majesty, and they are still in one place during the day, Taoxin has no rest days, no time for small talk, really unfamiliar, come back and I call Xiao Anzi to talk back to you, you see it is good, Your Majesty said that this is handed over to you with full authority, even the people in front of the emperor dare to move, it is really not small, Your Majesty also said who should ask whom, who should be tried whom, there are four masters in the palace, don't report to Your Majesty again, just try it directly." Xiao Taoxin was also afraid, and wanted to leave after saying respectfully to Qi Hai.
"Yes, then the minister will ask Xiao'an's father-in-law first. If Peach Heart girl feels a little scared, let's go back to the palace first. After Qi Hai finished speaking, he was about to get up and go to find Xiao Anzi with Xiao Taoxin, but Xiao Taoxin ran away early as if she had been amnestied.
Qi Hai arrived at Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi was also frightened, there are not many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace these years, and the empress dowager has not even been harsh, let alone died in the palace, these little eunuchs and little palace maids have never seen such a thing since they entered the palace, Ling'er felt scared when she heard it, let alone them.
"Father-in-law, can I ask you a few questions?" Qi Hai stood in front of the emperor and was not ready to leave again, and now Ling'er asked him to ask casually.
"Master Qi, I really don't know anything, I'm just like you, I just saw it. I didn't worry about him. Xiao Anzi was trembling as she spoke, and tears were about to fall.
"Father-in-law An, what kind of palace maid eunuch did Father-in-law Dao have a good relationship with before? Where is his home? What was wrong last night? Qi Hai asked a series of questions, Xiao Anzi was not in the mood to listen at all, kept shaking his head, kept shaking his head, Qi Hai sighed when he saw this, and then said: "Please show me the list of eunuchs and palace maids." ”
"That thing is on the Grand Duke next to the Emperor." Xiao Anzi seemed to finally know something, and after answering, he stood in a different place.
Ling'er promised him these things in front of the emperor, looking for the emperor's eunuch to ask for things, and going to the emperor to report a circle, just do these things today, or wait for the forensic doctor and the prison doctor to finish the investigation in the house and collect the drawings before going, the province doesn't know anything, so go to the big eunuch next to the emperor to ask for east and west.
After a long while, it was almost noon, Qi Hai stood at the gate of the imperial front for a long time, and observed everyone, and everyone was now a unified expression, afraid.
The forensic doctor came over and replied: "Just now, the ministers and others investigated the scene and determined that it was suicide, and the poison is still the poison of oleander, this poison is easy to get, and if it takes a long time, it will die." The footprints and the footprints of the three rooms can also be corrected. ”
"Okay, I'll go to the emperor's, and you will wait for me at the door together." Qi Hai didn't know that he would be able to go back to the Criminal Department for a meal at noon today, so he sighed, raised his feet and left.
Qi Hai walked from the door of the imperial study with his front foot, and Ah Jue arrived with his back foot, and when he saw Qi Hai's back, he thought that he had just gone out from Ling'er.
"What are you doing here? I see there's a commotion over there, what's going on today? Ah Jue sat next to Ling'er.
"The knife is dead, it is said that he committed suicide, and there are still his footprints in the house of the three soldiers who died yesterday, Qi Hai went to his father to investigate his roster." Ling'er heard what was said outside in the house just now, and she was also afraid, and she didn't dare to speak loudly with Xiao Taoxin, but Ling'er didn't dare to make a louder voice after Ah Jue came.
"Oh my God, how could this be all of a sudden." Ah Jue also felt incredible, but he had been on the battlefield, so he was not afraid of these at all, so he stepped forward and held Ling'er's cold hand and realized it for a long time.
"It's August 15 in a few days, hey!" Ling'er sighed.
"It's okay, I will protect you, if you are afraid, I will not go to the palace school in the afternoon, and I will accompany you here." Ah Jue put Ling'er's hand into the palm of his hand.
"Then don't think about it, I finally went to the palace school in a proper manner, don't think about skipping school, these are not reasons, I just asked the commander to guard me at the door in the afternoon." Ling'er didn't fall for Ah Jue.
"I don't want to go to Gongxue, I just think you're afraid to protect you, I'm Lu Dongbin!" Ah Jue also smiled.
"Who's the dog?" Ling'er gave him a blank look, and pulled out his hand to fight.
