Chapter 293
When Wei Zheng, Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui, Sun Fujia, Liu Zhenghui, Dai Zhou and others came to the dungeon of Dali Temple, they saw a dead body of Zhang Zhong.
Wei Zheng stepped forward to check Zhang Zhong's body and found that there was no scar on Zhang Zhong's body, his face was peaceful, and he seemed to have never suffered any pain when he died. His dead pretended to be more like the result of suicide. Then the case pondered, "Is he poisoned?"
Then he asked the dungeon officer again, "After Zhang Zhong escorting him to the dungeon, have you found suspicious people entering the dungeon?
Have you heard other sounds or found something inappropriate before Zhang Zhong died?”
"Reported to Secretary Wei, the subordinate escorted Zhang Zhong to the dungeon and arranged a serious illness defense. They were all masters of Dali Temple. It is impossible for the murderer to enter the dungeon and kill Zhang Zhong during this period."
Dai Zhou rushed to say respectfully before the service, "Now whether Zhang Zhong committed suicide or killed him, the cause of his death is unknown. The subordinate advised the coroner to first verify his death. As long as we find out how he died, we can judge what means the enemy used to kill Zhang Zhong when he fell to the ground.
Also, the officials suggested that Dali Temple be blocked immediately to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to escape.”
"The Secretary Wei, the Secretary, is desirable for the advice of Dai Shaoqing."
Sun Fujia hurriedly echoed.
He found that Zhang Zhong was killed and knew that the chance of removing Li Ke was much less, and his anxiousness was self-evident.
At the same time, Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui also agreed, but Liu Zhenghui surprisingly did not add any harm at this time, saying that Dali Temple was not strictly in charge and that the witness was brutally killed, which made Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou very grateful.
"Okay, let Feng Guan check Zhang Zhong's cause of death immediately, and order the Dali Temple yamen runners to block every corner of Dali Temple and search for the murderer."
Wei Zheng said in a stern tone, "At the same time, the Chang'an County Yamen and Jinwu Guard ordered the suspicious figures at the city gate and alleys of Chang'an, and it is necessary to arrest the murderer."
"No" Dai Zhou and the servants replied.
Wei Zheng, Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui, Liu Zhenghui and Sun Fujia came out of the dungeon to the living room of Dali Temple. Everyone sat down every time, and their minds were very serious. Everyone was thinking about who the murderer was?
Why was Zhang Zhong killed him in such a short time after he returned to Dali Temple?
Moreover, from Zhang Zhong's death, it can be seen that the murderer must have known that Dali Temple had found evidence of Zhang Zhong's perjury, so he wanted to kill him to silence him and prevent him from confessing to instruct him under severe torture.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and immediately understood what the other person was thinking.
Suddenly, Wei Zheng was shocked and said hurriedly, "Minister of Dali Temple, hurry up and order the people of Dali Temple not to reveal that Zhang Zhong is dead, and those who violate the order will be killed! Also, you cannot tell Chang'an County and Jinwuwei that Zhang Zhong is dead. You can only tell them that the murderer sneaked into Dali Temple and killed someone but failed. I hope they can assist in catching the murderer in the whole city."
"The official understands!"
Sun Fujia bowed and said.
When Sun Fujia received the order to leave, Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui and Liu Zheng in the seat, "Everyone, have you ever thought that we were being led by others in the whole case?"
Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui couldn't help but nod in affirmation when they heard Wei Zheng say this.
Wei Zheng continued, "Let's not talk about how our investigation has been made in the poisoning case of the queen and the imperial concubine. Just talk about what we have done in the past few days. Why did the enemy solve the clues we got before we take action?
And why do new clues appear whenever the clue is interrupted?”
Wei Zheng said this and kept silent. Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui also began to think about the meaning contained in Wei Zheng's words. Of course, Wei Zheng only raised his own doubts. Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui also had such doubts in the hearts of Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui.
But the three of them have different positions. Li Xiaogong kept a low profile and did not want to participate too deeply. Wang Gui thought that Li Tai did not want to do too much. Liu Zhenghui wanted to investigate carefully, but out of Changsun Wuji's instruction, he wanted to put the charges of the case on Li Ke.
Therefore, such a complex relationship among the case trial staff has led to the progress of the case still having no clue. Just like the problem that Wei Zheng thought of just now, they all thought of, but they just didn't say it out loud.
Otherwise, as long as any of them is concerned, it would not be so great that they can only assist Wei Zheng in the trial of this case.
Compared to them, Wei Zheng is talented, but he is not good at prison. Sun Fujia always thinks about Li Ke to a certain extent, and he must be careful about Liu Zhenghui's eyeing. This complex relationship has led to the case being always influenced by others.
It was only Dai Zhou's appearance that alleviated such a contradiction, but Dai Zhou was also indifferent to power, which led to this embarrassing situation.
However, now Wei Zheng raised his doubts, which everyone needs to analyze and solve. The three people sitting there have to carefully consider how to solve the current problems without changing their position.
Just as the three of them were thinking, Sun Fujia, Dai Zhou and Feng Guan came to the living room. Sun Fujia reported to Wei Zheng that he had made arrangements as he told him, while Dai Zhou told Wei Zheng and everyone that Feng Guan's autopsy had already been thoughtful by Zhang Zhong.
Before Feng Guan could salute everyone, Wei Zheng hurriedly asked, "Feng Guan, tell me, what results did you get for the autopsy of Zhang Zhong?
How did Zhang Zhong die?”
"Reported to Secretary Wei, Zhang Zhong died of poisoning."
Feng Guan sorted out his thoughts and said with neither humble nor arrogant attitude, "The little official also got this thing from his belly, because it was Zhang Zhong who won."
After Feng Guan said that, the servant behind him handed the thing to Wei Zheng with the plate.
Wei Zheng leaned forward to check and found that there was a piece of paper of slap size in the plate with blurred handwriting. The vague on the paper was the handwriting, which shows that it was written, "Don't worry, there will be no problem, Your Highness will arrange everything!"
After reading the note, Wei Zheng's face was gloomy. He signaled the officers to bring the plate to Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui.
Li Xiaogong, Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui discovered that Wei Zheng's face changed after reading the things on the plate. He hurriedly stepped forward to check what was on the plate. When the three of them looked at the paper and the handwriting on the plate, they were shocked and understood why Wei Zheng's face became so gloomy after reading it, because there were two words "Your Highness" on the paper, which involved the prince or prince. However, they also did not speak after reading it, but just looked at each other and waited for Wei Zheng to speak.
At this time, Feng Guan explained, "The result of the minor official was that Zhang Zhong ate the note in his stomach, but he did not expect that the paper would be poisoned, so he died of poisoning without realizing it." Shocked, no one in the living room thought that there would be such a way to kill people.
Indeed, such a way to kill people is that no matter how smart Zhang Zhong is, he would never think of it.
But everyone still has a doubt. This conclusion also proves that Zhang Zhong might have committed suicide because he swallowed the note into his stomach and there was no sign of being forced. Just imagine if he knew that the note was poisonous and voluntarily swallowed the note into his stomach and committed suicide, this explanation was also reasonable.
"There is no sign of toxin residue in Zhang Zhong's teeth and mouth, indicating that he was swallowing the note into his belly."
Feng Guan said.
Feng Guan's words suddenly dispelled everyone's conclusion that Zhang Zhong committed suicide. Just imagine that if Zhang Zhong knew that the note was poisonous, he would not swallow the note, but would chew the note to pieces before swallowing it into his stomach, because doing so would allow the poison to penetrate quickly.
Now, he swallowed the note and knew that he had not found the note poisonous, so he had ruled out the possibility of his suicide.
"The person who was conspiring to the murderer did have good intentions. In a few hours, the little official checked the reason for Zhang Zhong's poisoning, and the handwriting on the paper in his belly would disappear from his stomach."
Feng Guan explained.
After hearing this, Wei Zheng and everyone nodded. They no longer doubted Feng Guan's words. They said with their own eyes the process of autopsy and Xianglan, but they gained a lot. Therefore, they believed in Feng Guan's autopsy results.
However, Feng Guan's words reminded them of a question day, which was who handed the note to Zhang Zhong after he was escorted to the cell of Dali Temple?
What method did he hand it over to him?
From the time Zhang Zhong was escorted to the cell of Dali Temple, they knew whether Xianglan had drowned and thought that Zhang Zhong was telling a lie. When they returned to the palace to report to Li Shimin, they would come back to the palace and then suddenly interrogate Zhang Zhong. In such a short time, who has the ability to seize their news and formulate this strict and feasible poisoning plan?
"Feng Guan, has the autopsy result from Xianglan come out?
Have you found out the cause of her death?”
Sun Fujia asked again while everyone was thinking.
"Reporting to the temple minister, the minor official dissected Xianglan's body and found that her internal organs were broken. It was obviously caused by a severe blow in front of her, and this is also the real reason for her death."
Feng Guan continued to speak without stopping.
"What can I do in the palace that can hit the palace maids hard?"
Wei Zheng asked back.
"Xiaoguan heard that when a person's martial arts reaches a certain level, he can crack the stone with one palm."
Dai Zhou said this and walked in his words, and everyone knew the meaning of his words.
Silence, the living room fell into silence! After a long time, the Weichen said to Feng Guan, "Feng Guan, you can sort out the autopsy results and write them down and submit them to me. Apart from this, no one can know the results of the autopsy."
"promise!"
Feng Guan took the order to leave the living room.
When Wei Zheng saw Feng Guan leave, he said to everyone in the hall, "I wonder what suggestions do you have now?"
What should we do next?"
"Secretary Secretary Wei, the subordinate has a grievance request. I don't know if I should say it?"
Sun Fujia asked.
"Please tell me, Master Dali Temple!"
Wei Zhengdao.
"Dai Zhou is proficient in the law and criminal prisons, and his subordinate wants him to participate in the trial of this case."
Sun Fujia said.
After hearing Sun Fujia say this, Wei Zheng looked at him, then looked at Dai Zhou behind him, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement, "Okay! The case has become very complicated now. Since Dai Zhou is proficient in prison, let him participate in the trial of this case!"
Wei Zheng nodded, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou thanked Wei Zheng, and the few began to discuss how to act in the future.
After all, now that Li Shimin has handed over the full power of the case to Wei Zheng and others, he will definitely not ask about the trial process of the case and only wants to know the result of the trial.
Chapter completed!
