Chapter 26: Serial (3)

After Mrs. Cheng calmed down, An Ying saluted slightly: "Qi Guogong's case and Cheng Shilang's case actually have similarities. It is difficult to judge that it was murder from the cause of death alone, but it is associated with murder when combined with the situation of the study being turned upside down. If it weren't for the fact that the study was turned over, the Duchess of Qi would not have reported the case at all, right?"

Duchess Qi nodded, "The old man in my family is all here, and the imperial doctor and the doctor in the house have all examined it, so there is nothing unusual." It wasn't until I found that the study had been turned over that I felt something different. ”

An Ying nodded and asked, "But your family found out?" ”

Yan Kuan got up and said, "It's down." ”

An Ying said: "That day, Yan Gongzi told me that many relatives and friends came to mourn, and a few friends of Qi Guogong came to ask for a few paintings of Qi Guogong and wanted to take them back to remember, right?" ”

Yan Kuan nodded, and An Ying asked, "Who are they?" ”

"A few adults from the Ministry of Rites, Cai Langzhong, Liu Shilang, and a few relatives, my brother-in-law Ma Tong, oh, and Master Li of the Terracotta Division."

An Ying nodded and said, "Then how did you find out that the study was turned over?" ”

Yan Kuan said impatiently: "I found it as soon as I entered the house." The whole house was turned into a mess. ”

An Ying said to Yang Kuan: "But Mrs. Cheng found that the study was turned over, but it was not the case. If it weren't for Master Cheng's classification and careful management of the things and Xiao Tao, ordinary people would not have noticed that the study had been turned over. ”

Duchess Qi suddenly realized and said, "I see. ”

Seeing that the eldest son still didn't quite understand, she said to An Ying: "My old man's study is not as closely guarded as the Cheng Mansion, and he has always been lax, but there are only some worthless tatters in it. ”

"If someone really wants to rummage through secrets, secretly rummage, none of us will find out. Right? ”

Yan Kuan slapped his thigh and said: "The emotions are so messy that we can see it." ”

An Ying said: "When Yun Ping came back, he said that Qi Guogong's study had accumulated a layer of dust, which shows that no one cleans and organizes it on weekdays, and in this year's time, it is not too difficult to have the heart to go in and rummage." ”

An Ying said: "So I ask you, who was the first to propose among the people who asked you for Qi Guogong's calligraphy and painting that day?" ”

Yan Kuan was a little surprised, and replied: "It's Lord Li Li of the Soldiers and Horses Division in the capital." ”

An Ying said: "The core of this matter is to propose the time to see Qi Guogong's study. If you hadn't asked for calligraphy and paintings, you wouldn't have gone to the study for a while, and you wouldn't have found out that the study had been turned over, right? ”

The Duchess of Qi Guo nodded, and Yan Kuan also nodded: "That's." We probably won't be able to tidy up the house until the funeral is all done. At the very least, it will be a few months before we can deal with the house. ”

"So the person who proposed to go to the study at that time was the only one who had the ability to connect the two cases together? Otherwise, it was found out a few months later that Master Cheng's case was estimated to have been closed. Isn't it, Lord Lee? ”

The deputy commander of the Terracotta Division of the Capital City brought Master Li to the lobby with a tie.

Everyone looked at it in amazement, and the Duchess of Qi frowned and said, "Lord Su, Lord Li is the deputy commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the capital, and the official is up to the fourth rank, and he is at the same level as you." You ......"

Su Huangzhe said with a smile: "Duchess Guo, don't worry. Master Li was arrested at the scene of the crime, and the arrest document was signed by us Huang Shangshu himself. ”

Li Li was pressed to the ground and said, "I just suddenly remembered to keep a painting of Grandpa Guo." I did this unintentionally, so that you doubted. What am I going to do if I want to link two cases together? I was arrested by you, but I just attacked Zhuang Kan of Chengbi Hall. According to the law of the Great Apocalypse, I should be tried by the government of the capital, and the hands of your criminal department are too long, right? ”

Dai Chang on the side looked left and right, what is going on? If you don't do it, you can do it, fold your life, fold your life.

Seeing this, Lin Shaoyin hurriedly said, "An Sizhi." Ansi, you continue, hey, you continue. ”

An Ying nodded and said: "When I was in the first case, I knew that Lord Cheng's study was turned over, only you, Cai Langzhong from the Ministry of Rites, and Yin Daichang from the Capital Mansion. In the second case, you proposed to take Qi Guogong's calligraphy and paintings, and lead everyone to the study, so as to find that the study was turned over, and then naturally mentioned the matter of Cheng Shilang, and the two originally unrelated cases were connected together. ”

"Only you have what it takes to do that."

Li Li sneered, "As the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the capital, it is my duty to protect the safety of the people in the capital. An important official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly died violently, and the study was turned over, so I naturally had to pay more attention. As for asking for calligraphy and paintings, I didn't mean to do it at all. The two cases were connected and were decided by Lord Yin Dai of the Capital Mansion. Your criminal department is so suspicious of people at will, is it really impossible to solve the case? That's right, Master Dai turned out to be from the Criminal Department. ”

Dai Chang on the side was covered with sweat, and Su Huangzhe in the hall spoke: "It's not your turn to talk too much about the affairs of our criminal department." Anji, you continue. ”

An Ying has no intention of arguing with Li Li, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no need to bother with words.

She said: "The first two unrelated cases were linked together because of the study, and Master Li took this effort just for the third case. ”

An Ying drank some tea soup to moisten his throat and continued: "And the third case is the murder of Wang Qingyan, a doctor in the court. ”

"This case is different from the previous two, Wang Qingyan was indeed stabbed to death, and there is no doubt that it is murder."

An Ying continued: "Wang Qingyan is also different from Grandpa Guo and Cheng Shilang, he is neither a high-ranking official in power, nor a high-ranking nobleman. Theoretically, there were no particularly important documents in his study. ”

But once it is connected with the affairs of Cheng Shilang and Qi Guogong, people will inevitably think of Wang Qingyan's previous work as an official in the household department. In this way, the direction of the whole case will advance in the direction that the three are connected. ”

"But if we really investigate in this direction, there will be endless materials and evidence, and we will never be able to solve the case, which is why we have to connect the first two cases together."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Wang Qingyan, Chinese New Year's Eve. He used to be a judge of the household department, and after Qinghe was found to be corrupt and dismissed in five years, he got the post of a loose official of the court. ”

"The Criminal Department has been investigating this matter for a long time, and I thought that there would be a big article in the middle." An Ying smiled, "That's how to solve the case, the direction is wrong, and you can only get farther away from the truth." ”

Everyone had never heard such a wonderful case, and they all listened attentively.

Liang Su on the side took out the dried incense in his arms, and listened while eating, and was amazed in his heart, this case is too complicated, but it is much more exciting than the poisoning of zongzi in the academy last time.
