Xia Sheng's question hit the nail on the head and pointed to the core of the case.

If the person who instigated these gamblers was not the same person who finally killed Qin Erye, then the case was likely to be just an accident.

Maybe it's just an inconspicuous little person who lost his weight at the moment when he taught Second Master Qin a lesson, and accidentally killed Second Master Qin.

But if these two things are done by the same person......

Then the nature of the case is completely different!

That's not an accident, it's murder!

It's a pity that Bi Qingwen's main focus these days is on investigating the case of Father Xia's disappearance, so he doesn't know many details about the killing of Second Master Qin, and he can't give Xia Sheng an accurate answer for a while.

Therefore, early the next morning, Xia Sheng still went to Shantang and met Qin Yan.

As Bi Qingwen said, because of her busy day and night in recent days, Qin Yan's mental state is very bad, her eyes are full of exhaustion, her face is gloomy, and even her body has lost weight several times, like a sharply withered flower, extremely haggard.

When Xia Sheng walked into the good hall, Qin Yan was bowing down in front of the desk, perhaps because her mind was too concentrated, or maybe because her perception had decreased due to her sleepless days for many days, and she didn't notice Xia Sheng's arrival for a while.

Xia Sheng didn't bother her, just stood aside and watched quietly, and suddenly felt a little emotional, is it a little too heavy to press the future of the entire Shantang on the shoulders of such a little girl.

Although Qin Yan is actually two years older than Xia Sheng, in Xia Sheng's eyes, Qin Yan is just a little girl.

A little girl who is a little stubborn and refuses to admit defeat.

After a while, Qin Yan finally stopped the pen in her hand and picked up the strong tea on the table, which had already cooled. Take a shallow sip.

The strong bitter taste immediately made her brows furrow, and then she cheered up, raised her hand and rubbed her shoulders, and suddenly raised her head, only then did she find out about Xia Sheng's arrival.

"Ah...... Sir!"

Qin Yan exclaimed in surprise and quickly got up from her seat. But maybe it's because I've been sitting for too long, which causes my legs to be faintly numb, and I almost stumble.

Xia Sheng couldn't help but look at this scene, stepped forward, waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be polite, the teacher is just passing by, and I will come in to see you." ”

A rare smile suddenly appeared on Qin Yan's face, and she said repeatedly, "How long has it been since Mr. came?" Why didn't you call me?"

Xia Sheng smiled: "I didn't wait long, it's not in the way." Are you investigating Second Master Qin's case?"

Qin Yan nodded and responded, "Hmm." It's been a few days since the case, and I still haven't been able to catch the real culprit, and everyone in the clan is panicking these days, I have to find a way to solve the case as soon as possible!"

Xia Sheng understood Qin Yan's difficulties, she had just become the heir of Shantang through the clan comparison, and suddenly such a thing happened, if it was not handled well. I am afraid that its prestige will be greatly reduced, and even its ability will be questioned by many people.

But Qin Yan has been away from Beijing for many years. Now that she has just started to take over the affairs of the family, she is not familiar with many places at all, and she is stumbling when she starts to do things for a while, and it is unrealistic to rely on her to solve the case in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but look slightly gloomy: "Is this the second assessment given by Shantang?"

Qin Yan shook her head: "This is not. But secretly I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me, and if one is not careful, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles, so no matter what, I have to give my best. ”

Xia Sheng sighed softly. He said, "I heard Bi Qingwen say that the adjudication department has caught two accomplices, what are you going to do?"

Qin Yan picked up two files from the table and said: "I have verified the confessions of these two people, and I also asked Changle Fang to send a list of gamblers that day, but the number of people is too large, if you want to check them one by one, it is almost an impossible task, so this road is impossible." ”

Xia Sheng smiled and said, "I'm not asking this, I just want to say, what are you going to do with those two accomplices?"

Qin Yan was stunned: "This matter should be decided by the people of the Adjudication Division, the key depends on whether these two people did it that day......

Xia Sheng waved his hand: "Wrong." ”

Qin Yan's palms tightened slightly, and she immediately asked, "What does Mr. mean?"

Xia Sheng smiled faintly: "Regardless of whether these two people have made a move or not, and whether they are deliberately shielding the culprit, my suggestion is to acquit them from the adjudication department immediately!"

Saying that, Xia Sheng picked up the things that Qin Yan had worked hard to write on the table, read them carefully, and shook his head again: "In addition, you also made a mistake, that is, you relied too much on the Qin family's intelligence network and forgot where the Qin family's most powerful place was. ”

Qin Yan suddenly became a little more puzzled, wasn't the Qin family's intelligence network the strongest in the entire Dajin Dynasty?

The next moment, Xia Sheng gave an answer: "Money! The biggest advantage of the Qin family is money! You have to remember that the reason why the Qin family can have such a powerful intelligence network is also based on money!"

"Therefore, the most important thing you should do now is not to ask your subordinates to mobilize all their eyes to find out the clues of this case, but to issue a notice and use the money to smash out those gamblers who participated in this case that day! Anyone who can testify to the murderer will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold! If it is not enough, 10,000 taels of gold!"

"Don't forget, the people who surrounded Second Master Qin that day were all gamblers who lost red-eyed! The most important thing for gamblers is not life, but money! I don't believe that when they are faced with the temptation of ten thousand taels of gold, they can really sit still!"

As he spoke, Xia Sheng picked up the files of the two suspects again, and said with a smile: "Moreover, when these gamblers see the two of them walking out of the adjudication department safe and sound, they can't help but think, it turns out that the accomplice is not guilty, if he takes the initiative to turn himself in, he can also get a reward of ten thousand taels of gold, why not?"

Hearing this, Qin Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, but she still asked with some hesitation: "According to these two people, the people who ambushed the second uncle in the barren forest that day did not know each other, presumably even if someone reported it, at most they would describe the murderer's physical signs and appearance, if they still can't catch the real murderer on this basis?"

Xia Sheng nodded, the smile on his face suddenly shrank, and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, then you need to communicate with the Adjudication Division, my suggestion is to re-arrest all the accomplices who have been confirmed, including these two people, and behead them for public display!"

Qin Yan immediately objected: "In this way, wouldn't it damage the credibility of my good hall!"

Xia Sheng's voice carried a hint of coldness: "Whether to give money or not is related to the reputation of Shantang, as for whether to convict or not, whether to kill or not to kill, it is a matter for the adjudication department, what does it have to do with your Shantang!"

As he spoke, Xia Sheng once again raised three fingers in front of Qin Yan and said coldly, "Moreover, this is the third mistake you have made. What you should be thinking about most now is not how to catch the murderer, but how to establish your prestige and quell the anger of the public!"
