"Lord Shangshu. The head catcher surnamed Xue saluted Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the two had known each other before.

Ye Fei looked at Qin Hanming and said, "Lord Langzhong, you know more about the affairs of the Criminal Department, so you should ask."

Qin Hanming didn't refuse, walked up to the head catcher, and asked, "Xue Zhutou, after discovering the Jiang family's murder last night, did you report this matter to Jingzhao Mansion Yin first?"

"No!" Xue Zhutou shook his head.

"Why not?"

"If you go back to your lordship, it was a court official who died, and the murderer may be a master. Xue was worried that he had missed the opportunity to arrest the suspect, so he did not go back to Jingzhao Mansion to report, and came directly to your ministry. Xue Zhutou explained.

"Then whose hand was it last night?" Qin Hanming asked again.

"Outsider Lang Zhou. ”

"In other words, Lord Zhou knew that the charter procedures were incomplete, but he still took over the case?"

Xue Zhutou nodded, "After Lord Zhou learned about this, he asked me to go back, saying that he wanted me to bring my brothers here today to testify. ”

"Then Xue Zhutou still remembers when it was?"

"It's been a while. ”

"Okay," Qin Hanming patted Xue Zhutou on the shoulder, and then turned to Shangshu of the Criminal Department, "Lord Shangshu, the lower official dared to ask, the arrest document last night, but Zhou Yuanwailang asked you to stamp it? ”

Shang Shulang Shiping of the Criminal Department was stunned, and only nodded slightly after a while.

Qin Hanming turned to Ye Fei again, "Ye Shaoxia, the official who should ask has asked." ”

"Thank you, Lord Langzhong, I asked all the questions I want to know," Ye Fei arched his hand to Qin Hanming, and then looked at Du Kuan, "Lord Du, I don't know if Lord Lang is here?"

"Yes, I saw him when I came to the Yamen this morning, so I went and invited him. ”

After leaving for a while, Du Kuan returned.

Seeing that he was the only one, Qin Hanming frowned and asked, "Lord Du, what about Lord Zhou?"

Du Kuan stopped, raised his head, and said with a frightened face: "Lord Zhou, he, he, he committed suicide by hanging the beam." ”

"What!" Lang Shiping, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately got up and strode out of the side hall.

The others followed him and came to the dormitory where Zhou Jing, a member of the staff, handled official business. I saw that several officials were cleaning up Zhou Jing's body, and the rope used by Zhou Jing to hang herself was still hanging from the beam.

Lang Shiping came to Zhou Jing's corpse, took a general look at the scars on his skin, and then ordered: "Go and call the servant immediately to find out the cause of Lord Zhou's death!"

"It would have been nice to summon Lord Zhou first. Qin Hanming said meaningfully.

Ye Fei was dumbfounded, he never expected that as the most critical person in the case, this Wailang would die like this, and he would inevitably die too quickly and too timely!

This is a dignified five-grade official, and his life is too worthless.

At the same time, he realized that this Qin Hanming was reminding himself just now. Since he took him away from the Divine Sword Pavilion last night, Qin Hanming has given him many hints, but unfortunately he has not been able to understand what Qin Hanming meant.

"Lord Shangshu, all the suspicions have just pointed to Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou has committed suicide by hanging the beam, it seems that someone doesn't want me to investigate. Ye Fei said.

"I don't need you to remind me, I know it in my heart. It's just that if you don't track it down, or if you don't have to be so rushed, maybe Lord Zhou won't die. Lang Shiping said angrily.

"My lord, it's obvious that someone wanted to frame the grass people first, but the adults came to accuse the grass people, could it be that the lives of the adults are their lives, and the lives of the grass people are not their lives? Besides, if the grass people don't investigate, won't the adults die this week?" Ye Fei retorted.

Lang Shiping snorted angrily, threw his sleeves and left.

"Ye Shaoxia, do you need the official to help you do anything? If there is nothing to do, the official will have to find a quiet place to stay for a while. Du Kang said with a sad face, "The death of a colleague makes this official feel uncomfortable!"

"Yes, Du Shilang, but the lower official remembers that in the past, you and Lord Zhou had a lot of disputes. Qin Hanming said.

"Lord Qin, what do you mean by this? This official and Lord Zhou did have some disputes in the past, but they can't be called deep hatred. People's hearts are made of meat, and after working together for so many years, it is normal for the official to be sad. Du Kang responded.

Ye Fei was chewing on Qin Hanming's words in his heart. Qin Hanming's implication was to imply that the dead Lord Zhou and Du Kuan could not be a group of people, or did he imply that Du Kuan had a reason to kill Lord Zhou?

Just now Du Kuan went to find Lord Zhou, and among the three adults, the most suspicious one was Du Kuan.

"Not good!" Ye Fei suddenly thought of something.

"What's wrong?" Du Kuan was startled by Ye Fei.

After thinking about it, Ye Fei immediately turned around and ran towards the prison of the Criminal Department, while Du Kuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Qin Hanming, the Lang of the Criminal Department, followed behind him.

"What about my aunt?" Ye Fei asked the cell head guarding the prison.

"Brother is asking about the Gong family, right? Just now, Lord Zhou came here and asked us to release the people. The cell boss said.

Judging by his reaction, he shouldn't have known that Lord Zhou was dead.

However, there is also a possibility that the cell head is pretended.

In Ye Fei's opinion, from last night to now, anyone he has seen in the Criminal Department cannot be trusted.

After a pause, Ye Fei looked at Qin Hanming and said hurriedly: "Lord Qin, before you left the prison last night, did you tell the jailers that no one was allowed to come in and visit me?"

Qin Hanming nodded, "I said so, but they may not listen." ”

"They really didn't listen to you, someone came to talk to me before I was interrogated by Lord Du just now. ”

"Usually, there are records of entering and leaving the criminal department and visiting the prison, but since that person dares to come to see you, naturally he will not leave any records. Qin Hanming said very calmly, as if everything was in his expectation.

"By the way, the jailer who guarded last night might be able to find out the identity of that person through them. Ye Fei thought of another clue.

"We change our guards three times a day, and some of the brothers who were guarding the prison last night have already returned. The cell boss said.

Qin Hanming let out a sneer, "Ye Shaoxia, even Lord Zhou is dead, do you think those jailers will still be alive?"

Qin Hanming's words made Ye Fei feel creepy.

It seems that in the eyes of some people, other lives are not lives at all, they are just chess pieces, and sometimes they are not even called chess pieces.

"So, all the clues are broken?" Ye Fei looked lost.

"If your aunt isn't dead, maybe she'll be a clue. Qin Hanming said.

"That's right!" Du Kang echoed, "Lord Zhou committed suicide by hanging himself, it may be that he was coerced and forced to do so for the sake of his family, but Shaoxia, your aunt is different, her husband is dead, and there seems to be nothing that can threaten her." ”

"It seems that adults see things very thoroughly. Ye Fei sighed. He originally thought that Du Kuan was just a person who only knew flattery and clever words.

Ye Shaoxia didn't know, there was no case in the world that Du Shilang couldn't solve, only a case he didn't want to investigate. Qin Hanming said with a smile.
