Chapter 50 Clues
Jiang Cheng and Li Donghu entered Shi's house, and it was as if they had been robbed by bandits, it was very chaotic, and the property in the house was basically looted.
"Virtuous nephew, what are you looking at, what can you see from the footprints that are so messy?"
"Just take a look"
Li Donghu saw Jiang Cheng squatting on the ground looking at the footprints, and immediately asked, there were not a hundred but eighty footprints at the scene, and there were no clues at all.
"This is where the deceased Shi Dewen is, he was lying on his stomach facing outward, and this is the place where Shi Yuanhai died, lying on his back, with a knife through his throat, killed with a knife, and the thief judged by the official entered from the outside, first killed Shi Dewen, and then killed Shi Yuanhai, there may be two people"
"This small hall is a place to eat, and the file says that there is a number of wine and meat, but there are not a few wine glasses and chopsticks, and they are becoming more and more unprofessional."
Jiang Cheng said that this small hall is a bit like the kind of kang in the north in Jiang Cheng's memory, with a table on it, where you can sit and eat and drink, and the file says that there is a number of wine and meat, but a few important wine glasses and chopsticks are not written.
"Is the virtuous nephew suspected that the murderer was someone who knew their father and son, and suddenly killed someone after drinking?"
"Yes, the Shi family doesn't have much money, if it's a bandit, any one is richer than them, if it's revenge, as soon as Shi Dewen dies, only a door is separated, Shi Yuanhai should be on guard, so I guess that the murderer should be their acquaintance, or even drink together, and then I don't know what the reason is, I killed Shi Yuanhai with one knife, and then followed Shi Dewen who went out, and killed Shi Dewen with two knives"
"There is this possibility, how can the daughter-in-law of the Shi family and the strange man explain"
"It is very likely that it is a case within a case, let the wrestlers who are looking for the investigation go to the pharmacy and ask, and also ask the surrounding streets to see if the Shi family father and son have gone to buy poison"
"The official asked about Qianmen Street, but he didn't find anything, but he definitely didn't ask about other streets."
"Forget it, let's go to the yard first."
Jiang Cheng shook his head, the county government officials were too unprofessional, he had better check it again and then say it, the file was almost in a half-ruined state.
The group came to the yard, the yard is not big, a few green onions are planted, the others are weeds, Steven's wife died early, there is no hostess at home, and the yard is not hygienic.
"Well, I've found it, come on, dig it up"
Jiang Cheng walked slowly in the yard, and finally stepped on it in the corner, it was very loose, I don't know what was buried underneath, Jiang Cheng commanded the wrestlers to dig it up.
Lux quickly dug up the ground, and inside was a stinking sake, which had not completely rotted because of the cold weather in winter, and the original purpose of the sake's food could be seen.
"Virtuous nephew, how can there be wine and food buried here"
"Because these drinks and dishes are poisonous, not surprisingly, that strange man was poisoned by the Shi family's father and son."
"How come, the virtuous nephew can't talk nonsense"
"I'm not talking nonsense, the Shi family is a poor scholar family, there is no reason to throw away the uneaten wine and food, and if you still want to be outside, what's going on in the ground."
"Is there any evidence"
"Simple, dig out these things, bring them back and let them be examined, and then ask the corpse of the man, the man's death should be earlier than the Shi family's father and son, you can testify"
"Okay, come on, take it back for inspection"
Li Donghu nodded and ordered to dig things back, and several wrestlers were embarrassed, but they also had to come.
Jiang Cheng and Li Donghu rushed to Yizhuang, and continued to keep people on the front side of the street to investigate, and when the information from all parties was collected, they could analyze the case.
"Lord of 100 households, Lord Zongqi"
Yizhuang's servants and wrestlers saw the two and saluted one after another.
"How's the autopsy going?"
"It's similar to what the county government did to investigate, but I found some scraps of fabric in Steven's fingernails, and I guess he grabbed the murderer's arm or body before he died, and scraped it off from it."
"Find out what kind of cloth this fabric is, maybe it will be a breakthrough"
"Yes, my lord"
"Have you found out when these four people died?"
"I found out, Yao Xiaodie, the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, died the earliest, it should have been eight days, the strange man should be six to seven days, the specific time has not been determined, and the father and son of the Shi family are five days"
"It's really earlier than the Shi family's father and son, is it really the strange man killed by the Shi family's father and son?"
When Li Donghu heard this, he thought of what Jiang Cheng said before, and he was actually said by Jiang Cheng.
"Yao Xiaodie committed suicide, could it be forced"
"Probably not, judging from the strangulation marks on the neck, it is definitely suicide"
"Okay, put up a portrait of a strange man and see if anyone knows him"
Jiang Cheng nodded, confused, especially in the case of such a strange deceased, if he can't even find out his identity, then let alone investigate the case, he has no clue at all.
"Nephew, what's next?"
"Wait for news, see if there is any news from the people on the street in front of the door, let's go back to the public building"
Jiang Cheng said, the information is insufficient, and he is not an immortal, so naturally he can't judge, and now what he can be sure of is that the strange man was killed by the Shi family's father and son, but why he was killed, I don't know.
The group returned to the public building, and not long after, the Lux who investigated on Menqian Street reported that it had been found out that the Shi family father and son had indeed bought poison on another street seven days ago, and had bought wine and meat on Menqian Street for two consecutive days.
"Your work is not meticulous enough, continue to investigate, to check whether the father and son of the Shi family have a grudge with others, by the way, check from eight days ago, to see who the father and son of the Shi family have dealt with and have been to the Shi family"
"My lord, it's getting dark"
"Okay, check again tomorrow"
Jiang Cheng nodded, the above is half a month to find out, there are still ten days left, don't rush, just take your time.
······
"Master Jiang, Li Qianhu invites you over"
"Good"
The next day, Jiang Cheng had just ordered, and then a strong man came over and asked him to go to Li Qingfu's side.
When he entered the door and saw that Du Wen was also there, Jiang Cheng saluted the two.
"Jiang Cheng, there has been a change in the Shi family's murder case, and the above has put pressure on us, asking us to close the case within three days"
"Closed in three days?"
"Yes"
"How to close the case, even the cause and effect have not been clarified"
"I was also very confused, but someone told me that I wanted to rape this case, and the love case was closed, the Shi family's daughter-in-law Yao Xiaodie and a strange man secretly had fun, and the Shi family father and son knew, the Shi family father and son bought poison to poison the man, and the man killed the Shi family father and son before the poison, Yao Xiaodie hanged herself in shame"
"Bullshit, too big a loophole"
Jiang Cheng replied, Yao Xiaodie and the strange man died before the Shi family's father and son, and the logic did not make sense, the Shi family's father and son found out that their daughter-in-law was cheating, and they could sue the official for divorce of their wife, and there was no need to kill their own people.
"Fools know that there are loopholes, but there is pressure from above, what can I do"
"No, no, Master Li, Yao Xiaodie is the daughter of a hundred households in Fusi, Dongcheng Town, if the case is closed like this, his daughter's innocence will be ruined, won't he stop it?"
"I don't know about this, maybe he can't stop it with a hundred households."
"It's still not right, the most powerful person involved in this case is the hundred households, and there are no other officials, unless the pressure comes from the hundred households above."
"This..."
Li Qingfu and Du Wen were a little stunned, if this was the case, it would be even more troublesome.
"Jiang Cheng, did you say that what I said just now is true, Yao Xiaodie really stole people"
"Even so, how did the father and son of the Shi family die, the strange man was examined, and he didn't even have martial arts, how to kill two people in a row under the condition of poison, but Shi Yuanhai was killed with one sword, ordinary people can't do it, this will only make me suspect that the murderer is that Baihu, my lord, I propose to arrest that Baihu and interrogate him"
"Shut up, Jiang Cheng, that's a hundred households in Dongcheng, it's not in our jurisdiction, we have no right to arrest people"
"What if there is substantial evidence?"
"This can be applied to the town envoy, and the East Town Fu Division will arrest the person himself, and then hand it over to the inner city headquarters, and the headquarters will come forward for interrogation."
"Jiang Cheng, I know that you are eager to solve the case, but I hope that the case can be closed like this, the relationship between the four towns and the Fu Si has always been very good, there is no need to offend people"
Li Qingfu told Jiang Cheng very directly, it doesn't matter if the case is investigated or not, the main thing is that the pressure is exerted from above, he wants to close the case, there is no need to offend people, even if the other party is a hundred households, but who knows who is behind him.
"I don't agree, if you have to close the case, then don't let me sign it, I won't touch this kind of confused case"
Jiang Cheng shook his head directly, this kind of confused case, if he came to understand, it would be an insult to Jiang Cheng's ability, so he didn't want to take the blame.
Du Wen and Li Qingfu glanced at each other, they already knew this result, but they would not agree, this kind of case will be closed when it is closed, but they are afraid that the case will be overturned, once the case is overturned, they will be responsible.
"Brother Li, what do you think?"
"It's tricky, this is the sixth day, the criminal department has already registered, if the case is overturned at that time, I can't afford this responsibility, the four deceased, or the door, this is a serious case"
Li Qingfu replied, the importance of ordinary homicide cases and door destruction cases is not the same, when it comes to the destruction of doors, they are all major cases, and there will be at least one squire on the side of the criminal department to ask, once the case is overturned, the criminal department that has long seen Tsing Yiwei's displeasure will definitely take the opportunity to attack, someone has to take the blame, he himself will not carry it, Li Donghu is his henchman and can't take the blame.
"Jiang Cheng was borrowed from you, but I didn't take the blame for you"
"I know, Brother Du Wen, teach me how"
"It's better to investigate for another three days to see if Jiang Cheng can find out the real murderer within three days, and if the real murderer is caught at that time, then we can't be blamed."
"It's okay, Jiang Cheng, then you can check it for another three days."
"Yes, my lord, then I'll go investigate the case first."
Jiang Cheng arched his hand and walked out of the public house, he now set his suspicions on that Yao Baihu, he was in a hurry to close the case, there must be a problem.
"My lord, my lord, I have a clue"
Just as Jiang Cheng was thinking, a wrestler came running over with a sweaty head.
"What a clue, say it quickly"
"We found out that the day before the crime, no, it should be the day before the death of the Shi family's father and son, Yao Lin Baihu of Fusi in Dongcheng Town came to the Shi family with a menacing attitude."
"Yao Baihu, Yao Xiaodie's father?"
"Yes, that's him"
"Understood, I'll go to the adults and apply for the arrest of Yao Baihu"
Jiang Cheng nodded, now that there is a certificate, you can apply for arrest, and the breakthrough must be on Yao Baihu.
