Chapter 143: Headache Suspects (1st Update)
Chen Li, who was standing on the side, was expressionless.
Since his wife returned, he had no expectations for his lord.
Lord Lang didn't leave his official duties and went home to guard his wife every day, he was already very satisfied.
Chen Li sighed with great vicissitudes.
This is probably the mentality of my mother-in-law.
Yu Jiuqing glanced at Chen Li and Sun Heng, then withdrew his gaze, handed the last piece of chicken wrapped in flour to Shen Qing, put his hand into a basin full of water on the side to clean it, untied his bib and hung it up, and then walked to the two of them and said lightly: "What's the matter with me?" ”
This series of actions was extremely skillful and generous, making Sun Heng inexplicably feel that he was the one who made a fuss.
is worthy of the little Lord Shen he admires, not only can he lead the people, but even the high-ranking Yu Xiang can manage and obey!
Sun Heng coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said, "Xia Guan is here to talk to Yu Xiang about the progress of the murder case in the capital mansion, and among the four suspects in the mansion, one of the suspects named An He has already found his alibi.
When the second deceased died, he said that he was on his way home, originally he couldn't think of anyone who could prove that he was not at the scene of the crime at that time, two days ago he suddenly found the upper and lower officials, saying that he remembered that he threw a few copper plates at a beggar on the way home, and the beggar might remember him, and today we found the beggar, and the beggar really recognized An He. ”
Although the case was taken over by Dali Temple, Sun Heng, as the governor of the capital government, was also following up on the case at the same time.
Yu Jiuqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "You can send someone to tell me about this matter, you are going to run this trip in person, is there something else to do?" ”
Sun Heng sighed helplessly and said, "It is worthy of Yu Xiang, that's right, the real reason why Xia Guan came here is another matter."
It is a shame to say that the murderer of the people in our government has not yet been found, and many people in the government are panicked and resentful, and few people are willing to seriously do the work of searching for opioids and banning opium.
In three days, it was the day when the confiscated opium was to be destroyed in front of the people, and the officials were worried that if this continued, it would affect the effect of destroying the opium in public that day. ”
The public destruction of opium is also the responsibility of their government office, however, seeing the resistance of the people in the government to things related to the ban on opium, Sun Heng is very worried that they will be passive and sabotage when the time comes.
This was supposed to be a great opportunity to educate the people and let them know the dangers of this thing, but if the person doing the work is reluctant, it will become counterproductive if you are not careful!
Yu Jiuqing couldn't help frowning slightly.
At this moment, Shen Qing put down the half-fried chicken, picked up a towel and walked over while wiping his hands, and said lightly: "The more the people doubt the necessity of banning opium, the more the matter of destroying opium in public cannot be delayed. ”
Due to the frequent murder cases in various government offices, many people are already questioning whether it is right to ban opium in such a strong way, is this another sense of careless disregard for human life?
This is one of the effects that those who make trouble want to achieve!
If they retreat at this time, it will only make them feel that it is useful to make trouble like this, and the murder cases in various places will not stop there, but will become more and more intense!
Seeing Yu Xiang and Lord Xiao Shen standing together, Sun Heng's eyes lit up suddenly, and his heart settled inexplicably.
Yu Xiang alone is already very powerful, and now that Yu Xiang and Lord Xiao Shen have joined forces again, what else in the world can't be solved?
He hurriedly saluted Shen Qing and said, "Please ask Madame for guidance." ”
Shen Qing shook his head lightly and said, "So far, I can't say anything very useful, but the ban on opium can't be stopped, and it must be implemented more vigorously!"
Nowadays, there are only two kinds of people who kill people everywhere, one is a drug addict, and the other is a person who makes a lot of money from opioids.
These killings can only stop if they are sent to prison at an accelerated pace, and those who profit from the sale of opium can see the government's determination to ban opioids.
In addition, it is necessary to catch the murderer of the people in the government of the capital as soon as possible, so as to appease the people in the other government and the people in the capital. ”
Sun Heng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Xiaguan also hopes to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but this matter is not easy to talk about!" ”
Originally, there were four suspects in the mansion, but now that one An He has been eliminated, there are still three!
These days, they are under their close surveillance, but so far they have not seen any show of their feet, and there have been no more homicides during this time.
Sun Heng was extremely conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, those suspects were all partners who had worked with him for many years, and he didn't want them to be the murderers who did that kind of thing, and on the other hand, he hoped to solve the case as soon as possible.
Shen Qing glanced at him and said thoughtfully: "I remember saying earlier that the remaining three suspects have all had places where they needed money urgently recently?" ”
"Yes," Sun Heng immediately said: "Yuan Zhutou has met a confidant named Hongniang in Zuihualou since two years ago, and the Hongniang has a seriously ill younger brother, who has been relying on various precious medicinal materials for so many years, Yuan Zhutou has been subsidizing the Hongniang since two years ago, and it is said that most of the monthly Yulu is spent on this."
The name Zheng Zhongfei catches fast because his parents are seriously ill, and they are also worried about expensive medical expenses every day.
And the jailer named Guard'an often went to gamble, although he was still measured, and did not owe a lot of debts, but every month he spent on it, and his wife also came to the government to make trouble, saying that if this continues, the family will not even have the money to buy rice, and this day will not be able to live. ”
Shen Qing had heard about the situation of these people from Yu Jiuqing before.
It's just a pity that their complete ban on opioids is only a matter of more than a month, if the murderer hates others and cuts off their financial route, this financial route is only broken for more than a month, and they must still have spare money at their disposal, and they can't see the change for a while.
If it had taken a little longer, they would have seen the change, but they obviously couldn't wait that long!
And the people of Dali Temple also sent people to ask the matchmaker in Zuihualou, Zheng Zhongfei's family, and the gambling house and his family that Guard often goes to, but they didn't find anything unusual.
The matchmaker said that Yuan Zhutou has given her one or two halves of silver every month since two years ago, and it has never changed.
Zheng Zhongfei's family said that their whole family basically lived on Zheng Zhongfei's money and some harvests in the fields, and they had always been tight, and they had never seen any extra money.
The gambling house that Guardan often goes to said that he will come to play every month when he comes down, and he is not willing to leave without losing all the money in his hand, and he has not seen him suddenly become generous in the past few months, and Guard's wife just cried vigorously about why she was so miserable and married such a man.
Judging from the current situation, this case is really clueless.
What's more, although they have now locked up these suspects, who knows if the murderer is really among them?
