Chapter 151: Peeling Back the Thread
Wang Tuiguan was stunned for a moment, after the matter of the edict, almost all of his thoughts were on the case of the female corpse in the dry well, and the life before the edict was like a different world, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
An Qingyue, who had not been beaten in life, answered for him first.
"Tan Xinren's construction captain got the upper hand in Chunyan Tower, and it was a sensitive period when Tan Xinren and Zhang Tianci competed for the WTO entry project, and we felt that it was too coincidental." The meaning of this is that at that time, we suspected that you did it, because you are Zhang Tianci's backstage, and you are a real person in the Daomen, who knows if you will pierce the villain's spell.
Wang Tuiguan remembered it at this time, and felt that An Qingyue's words were too unsubtle, so he hurriedly turned around on his behalf.
"My lord, what An Zhutou means is that the timing of the death of the captain is too coincidental, and we also wonder if it is a bitter plan to talk about Xinren. For example, the death of the construction captain is used as an excuse for the postponement of the project...... Xiao Feng blurted out: "It's force majeure." This is a common trick used in later contracts, and it is not surprising.
Wang Tuiguan and An Qingyue were stunned at the same time, and then muttered to themselves.
"Force majeure? It's a new word, but that's exactly what it means. Xiao Feng smiled, picked up the fan beside him, and knocked it on the palm of his hand.
This fan was bought by Qiaoqiao and Zhang Yunqing when they went out shopping on the first day of the Lunar New Year and gave it to Xiao Feng. Zhang Yunqing said that it was sent by Qiaoqiao, but Qiaoqiao secretly told Xiao Feng that Sister Yunqing bought it.
She said that other big men have things in their hands, but the old man's hands are empty. She said that the master is both a scholar and a Taoist, but when he is young, he can't take a whisk, he still needs to have a fan.
The piece of jade that fell from the fan was also chosen by Sister Yunqing! Xiao Feng usually doesn't have the habit of taking things, but since Qiaoqiao has repeatedly emphasized Zhang Yunqing's hard work, he is embarrassed to throw it aside.
It's also fun to pick it up and compare it when you're fine.
"Now that I think about it, I think it was a bit too coincidental." An Qingyue's eyes lit up.
"yes, Captain Construction is dead in you...... Ah no, when Zhang Tianci and Tan Xinren were competing for the fiercest, it was too coincidental, right? Xiao Feng shook his head, making An Qingyue look confused.
"I mean, as soon as Lao Wang investigated the case of the construction captain, he was implicated in the case of the female corpse in the dry well, which is a bit too coincidental." Wang Tuiguan hurriedly explained: "My lord, these two cases have nothing to do with each other, it's just that the case happened to be here in Shuntian Mansion, so I took over the ......" The fan in Xiao Feng's hand slowly opened and closed again, and he suddenly found that this action seemed to really help him think.
"The case of the dead well female corpse was designed by Yan Shifan to frame King Yu. If so, then is the best plan for him to hand over the case to Suncheonfu? "No one had thought about it before.
Because of this kind of murder case that happened in the capital territory, people's first reaction was to report it to Suncheonfu.
So no one will think about it, this is not the only option. Actually, no, it stands to reason that if the reporter feels that the case is serious, he can also report it directly to the Criminal Department, and even go to Dali Temple to report the case.
Of course, these are relatively rare cases, because people are used to having prior notice of Suncheonfu, and gradually acquiesce to this as the most reasonable.
The problem is that since this is a case deliberately designed by Yan Shifan, with his knowledge, it is impossible to make such a common-sense mistake.
Wang Tuiguan hesitated for a moment: "Maybe Yan Shifan didn't take these details into account and didn't specifically explain them to the informant, so the informant reported to Shuntianfu in the usual way......" Xiao Feng shook his head, he could despise Yan Shifan in terms of character, but he would never despise this person in terms of insidious wisdom.
"Even if Yan Shifan drank alcohol, even if he improvised the case, there would be some omissions, but he would never make a mistake on such a critical issue. We all know that the Criminal Department is the force of the Yan Party, and Lao Wang, you were arrested, and you also have the credit for the small actions of the Criminal Department. As soon as he mentioned this, Wang Tuiguan's teeth suddenly clenched.
The interrogation records of Shuntianfu were destroyed, but the people in charge of the criminal department reversed black and white, saying that Wang Tuiguan used torture to coerce the second housekeeper of Jingwangfu to frame King Jing.
In this situation where there is no evidence to die, the crime of participating in the party struggle and framing the prince is enough to make Lao Wang's house raided.
If it weren't for Xiao Feng's help, I am afraid that Lao Wang would have died in the prison of the Criminal Department, and his wife and daughter would have become official prostitutes.
An Qingyue understood at this time, stretched her apple face, and participated in the discussion seriously.
"It's a bit strange to say that. Since the Criminal Department obeyed Yan Shifan's words, why didn't he directly ask people to report the case to the Criminal Department? In that case, the entire trial of the case is under the control of the Criminal Department, and the possibility of success will definitely be greater! Looking at the puzzled little eyes of the two people, Xiao Feng gently patted the fan and said slowly: "It is probably because he wants to beat the rabbit with grass and use this case to deal with several people at the same time." An Qingyue felt that by Xiao Feng's side, it was much easier to ask questions than to think about them.
"Who's the grass and who's the rabbit?"
"Yuwang is grass, rabbit, more than one. I'm a relatively big rabbit, but if it's just to hit me, you don't need to put the case in Suncheonfu. Wang Tuiguan gasped, could it be ......
"That's right, Lao Wang should be the smaller rabbit." An Qingyue still didn't understand.
"But as Yan Shifan, he doesn't need to work so hard to deal with Lao Wang, he can find Lao Wang's stubble elsewhere!" Xiao Feng smiled, if Zhao Wenhua or Yan Song were present at this time, they would definitely be surprised to find that Xiao Feng's action of slapping the fan in the palm of his hand was too similar to Yan Shifan.
"Because he's arrogant. He believed that even if he took a little risk and had a little loophole, no one would be able to break it. On the other hand, it is easy to say that it is easy to find a stubble of a six-grade pusher, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult. Lao Wang is a clean official, and he is clean and self-conscious, and it takes time to find faults. Maybe he needs to make Lao Wang unlucky immediately, and he is not willing to wait a little longer. Wang Tuiguan still didn't understand.
"I have no dealings with the Yan family, and I have never offended the backbone of the Yan Party, what kind of person is Yan Shifan, why would he insist on dealing with me? Are we going to think too much? ”
"Because the case you investigated was a case of immediate wind. Whatever the reason, he needs you to stop right away. Think about it, since you were involved in the case of the dead well woman, you almost died. Even if you finally pick up this life, will you ever want to continue investigating that case? Xiao Feng's words were like Hong Zhong Dalu, and the two of them were stunned, neither of them thought about continuing to investigate the case, and they had long forgotten it.
Even if they weren't exhausted by the later case of the dead well female corpse, after this period of time, Tan Xinren had already moved away from the capital, and Xiao Feng had also become Lao Wang's life-saving benefactor, and they couldn't think of continuing to investigate the previous case.
"But, you're all guessing, what does Yan Shifan have to do with the case of the horse? Why would he want to stop us from looking further? "Xiao Feng can't fully explain An Qingyue's question, he is just more intelligent and alert, and he is not a real immortal.
"Originally, I didn't think about it, but I just went to visit Tao Zhongwen, and I thought of the expression on the face of the female corpse in the dry well. Thinking back and thinking about the unreasonableness of this case being handed over to Shuntianfu, then I suddenly thought of a question. The kind of mysterious drug that is sought after by the powerful in the capital, if there is no powerful organization behind it, I am afraid it will not be sold for so long. "This matter doesn't need to be explained, An Qingyue knows best, there are too many such things in the capital market, including the black market.
No matter what kind of business it is, as long as it is a strange commodity to live in, or the profit is super high, it will definitely involve underworld forces.
Without the support of more powerful forces, this business will not be able to last. Who has the most power in Beijing?
In addition to the emperor, I am afraid that there are only two people, Lu Bing and the Yan family. Lu Bing is not absolutely impossible, but the possibility is very small, and his usual lifestyle does not seem to be necessary to take the risk of doing such a thing.
The rest, most likely, should be Yan Shifan. This reasoning, on the other hand, seems to be really unremarkable, as if anyone should be able to think of something.
But An Qingyue and Wang Tuiguan were shocked. Just reporting the case to Shuntianfu, such a choice that is a little questionable at best, Xiao Feng is like a string of beads, stringing together all the other clues that have been ignored by people.
The expression on the face of the female corpse, long live the disease, the new ingredient of Tao Zhongwen's pill, the horse that creates the captain's wind, and the popular medicine among the powerful in the capital.
A piece of rotten wood that came out of the water, others regarded it as rotten wood, but Xiao Feng saw a fierce gaze flashing on that piece of wood.
It wasn't rotten wood, it was a crocodile, or as people say it now, a pig dragon. It's probably still a one-eyed pig dragon.
The question is, even if this mysterious drug is bought and sold, with the support of Yan Shifan behind it, is it necessary for him to be so afraid of being discovered?
