Chapter 13: The Truth Revealed
"Since there are no clues on Chen Yu's body, then start with Zhao Shuqian."
At this time, a smile appeared on the corner of Ji Zhen's mouth, obviously he already had a lot of ideas about this case in his heart.
"Zhao Shuqian is still a suspect?"
Ji Zhen nodded, "Of course." โ
"The way the body died was simple, and the time of death was easy to determine. And when it was determined, Zhao Shuqian happened to have a perfect alibi. Is this too much of a coincidence. โ
However, this corpse is not Chen Yu, so is it a bit too deliberate to suspect Zhao Shuqian. Moreover, this corpse can be changed to Chen Yu's corpse, if it was done by Zhao Shuqian, why did she do it? โ
Ji Zhen said: "I can't tell you what you said, because I don't know either." โ
"However, there are no other clues to check right now."
Ji Zhen suddenly asked a person from the Dali Temple next to him: "You have checked Zhao Shuqian, so have you checked her life before and after the time of death of this corpse?" The point is, is there a situation where there is a time vacancy? โ
The Dali Temple staff who was asked hurriedly looked at the investigation records, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, according to the sisters of Qinyuan Building, Zhao Shuqian was unwell once 7 days before the time of death, and she did not leave the room for three days. โ
When Ji Zhen heard such a result, the smile on his face became even bigger.
"Master Zhang, I almost have a clue. If my guess is correct, then the modus operandi and alibi will be self-defeating. โ
As soon as Ji Zhen's words came out, everyone was shocked, "Tell us quickly." โ
"Let's go, let's go out and say, the smell here is too big."
Ji Zhen led a group of people and began to walk forward, and said as he walked, "My speculation is just speculation, if you want to prove this speculation, you need to conduct a detailed investigation." โ
Zhang Yuzhen nodded, "You tell us your speculation first." โ
Ji Zhen pondered for a moment, organized his words, and said, "If my guess is correct, Chen Yu is dead. Or rather, before the body was found, it was dead. โ
And the murderer is most likely Zhao Shuqian. As for why you want to kill Chen Yu, it can only depend on you. โ
"Zhao Shuqian's murder method is actually not complicated. She first killed Chen Yu in the few days when she was uncomfortable, and then threw her body. โ
"The body we found was a clue she deliberately left for us, because this clue, the time of death, could not have pointed to her. Because she has a perfect alibi. โ
"It's this misdirection that has led you to focus your investigation on alibi."
"The ruse is not complicated, it is just a matter of direction. What seems to be a question of alibi is actually a question of the modus operandi of the killing. โ
After listening to Ji Zhen's explanation, everyone took a look at their own thoughts, and in the end, Yang Jin was worthy of being an old catcher, and his reaction was fast.
In other words, in fact, Zhao Shuqian killed a total of two people. used that fake Chen Yu to mislead us and cover herself, and the real Chen Yu was actually dead a long time ago. โ
Ji Zhen nodded, "I guess that's the case." However, this is just my speculation, and you will have to find specific evidence. โ
Zhang Yuzhen asked, "Where to find it?" โ
Ji Zhen touched his chin, "In this part of the capital, it is estimated that Zhao Shuqian has taken everything into account, and there is not much chance that you can find clues." โ
"I think you should go to her hometown to find clues."
"Hometown?"
"Yes, I have read the file about Zhao Shuqian, and I have also checked the file of her family, which is normal and perfect."
"However, precisely because it is perfect, it seems very fake. Their family is a wealthy businessman and a big landowner, but they do not have any oppression of the common people, and they act very decently. โ
"If the head of the family has a good character of being kind to others, I believe it, but the whole family is such a person, I think there is a problem."
When Zhang Yuzhen heard this, he immediately felt that what Ji Zhen said made sense. In this world, as long as you have a little power in your hands, how can you not be corrupt? It's just a matter of size.
Even if you can do it without corruption, it is difficult to restrain everyone. Unless, they have other purposes!
Ji Zhen stretched his waist, "Okay, my business is over." The rest is up to you, and when you finish checking Zhao Shuqian's family, you will notify me. โ
Dali Temple needs credit, and Ji Zhen is not involved in this kind of investigation. Otherwise, it would be useless to reflect the people of Dali Temple and the yamen to catch fast.
Bidding farewell to Dali Temple, Ji Zhen sent the two masters and the matchmaker bustard home, and then returned to the Admiral's Mansion.
As soon as I got home, I saw Shen Rong.
"Came back so soon, the case is solved?"
Ji Zhen shook his head, "More than half of it has been solved, and the rest is the same with me without me, so I'll come back." โ
"Where's Feiyan?"
"I led Vice General Xue out early in the morning." Shen Rong said.
Ji Zhen nodded, knowing in his heart that the plot should have begun. However, Ji Zhen doesn't care about this, the protagonists are not dead. Moreover, it is good to let Shen Feiyan participate in this kind of thing.
stayed in the capital all day, didn't go out to see the real rivers and lakes, and didn't know that people's hearts were sinister.
"When I'm done with these few days, you can start learning the knife technique."
Ji Zhen smiled, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, it's good to practice palming." โ

Three days later.
Shen Feiyan is back.
When he came back, he locked himself in his room and saw no one.
"What's going on?" Shen Rong looked at his daughter a little haggard, and couldn't help worrying, "What about Xue Zhi?" โ
With a squeak, Shen Feiyan's door opened.
"Xue Zhi is dead." Shen Feiyan glanced at Shen Rong and then at Ji Zhen, "Dad, Xue Zhi is a spy in the Admiral's Mansion, and he is involved in the business of buying and selling officials. โ
Next, the sachet began, and Shen Feiyan narrated what happened along the way.
Shen Rong looked at Shen Feiyan with pity, "Daughter, I've worked hard for you, I've wronged you, just come back, just be safe." โ

Seven more days later.
Zhang Yuzhen came to the Admiral's Palace. At this time, Zhang Yuzhen's face was red, obviously very happy.
"Lord Zhang, it looks like the case has been solved!"
Zhang Yuzhen laughed, "Master Han, it's not just that the case has been solved!" This time drag your blessing, for us to point the way, our Dali Temple this time has made a great contribution! โ
"Huh? Tell me about it. โ
Zhang Yuzhen sold a pass and asked Ji Zhen: "What do you guess is the true identity of Chen Yu and Zhao Shuqian?" โ
Ji Zhen smiled bitterly, "Master Zhang, you can embarrass me." I'm not a roundworm in your belly, how do you know who they are? โ
Zhang Yuzhen looked around, as if he was guarding against something, and said cautiously: "They are the rear of Emperor Jianwen!" All the actions in the capital are acting, and they are all preparatory preparations for rebellion. โ
Hiss!
Ji Zhen gasped. At the beginning, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di rebelled and hit the palace, but in the end, he found that Zhu Yunwen had disappeared, and he didn't expect that there would be his rear now!
"Then is Chen Yu dead, was he killed by Zhao Shuqian?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuzhen stared at Ji Zhen, "Master Han, your ability to solve the case is simply like a god." Chen Yu is dead, that is, he was killed by Zhao Shuqian, and the method is exactly the same as you speculated. โ
As for why Zhao Shuqian wanted to kill Chen Yu, it was because Chen Yu didn't want to rebel. Because he felt that it was too hard, Chen Yu is absolutely very good in this kind of life now. โ
Ji Zhen was speechless for a while, it seems that this rebellion must be a failure.
Ji Zhen clenched his fists, "Then congratulations to Master Zhang on his promotion." โ
Solving the case and the matter of Emperor Jianwen's back will have to be promoted no matter what.
"Thanks to Han Gongzi."
