Volume 1: Linzhou Talent Case Chapter 7: Yellow Cloth
Xing Qianqiu put down the file in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
There are still nine days left, but this case still has no clue.
"Old Xing." At this moment, Duan Ming walked in.
"What did you find?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming.
"No." Duan Ming shook his head: "There are no clues on Meng Lei's body."
"The same goes for me. Even the ship you mentioned has not been found." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "It seems that the clues have been lost again."
"No, no, I didn't find anything. This is a big discovery." Duan Ming shook his head.
"What do you say?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming.
"Meng Lei's identity is almost impeccable." Duan Ming said: "There is no past, no criminal record, he never gets into trouble, he never stands out, he works hard and never complains. What a good worker."
"Furthermore, according to previous investigations, it was an emergency for Su Meng to punt across the river at the River God Festival. It was an emergency to arrange for Meng Lei, who was on duty that day, to punt for Su Meng. The sudden heavy fog on the river was also an emergency.
No matter how you look at it, this incident has nothing to do with Meng Lei."
"Furthermore, Meng Lei has not shown that he knows martial arts in these years, and Su Meng has not been poisoned. No matter how we think about it, we should not doubt Meng Lei, a little boatman."
"That's right." Xing Qianqiu nodded, that's why he let Meng Lei off so easily during the previous investigation.
"So, why did the murderer want to kill Meng Lei?" Duan Ming sat aside and said with a smile: "In other words, why did the murderer take the risk to kill Meng Lei at this time?"
"Adventure?" Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Indeed, in this way, Meng Lei will undoubtedly be brought back into our sight, and we will definitely focus on investigating him."
"And if the purpose is to shut up Meng Lei forever." Duan Ming continued to say with a smile.
"If it were me, I would kill him as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares."
"If nothing else works, when Meng Lei is under investigation, we can design a scenario where he accidentally falls into the water due to fright and dies when he returns home. It will be so perfect that he will not be aware of it."
"Even if it doesn't work, you can kill Meng Lei and then mess up his room to create a scene of home invasion and robbery."
"But there are none of these. Why do you think this is?"
"Hurry." Xing Qianqiu tapped the table with his fingers: "The murderer never thought that we would find Meng Lei, so when we were going to find Meng Lei, the murderer was worried that he would be exposed, so he decided to silence him in a hurry.
"
"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "This means that the murderer has been observing the Spiegel Department and understands the investigation progress of the Spiegel Department, or the murderer is an insider of the Spiegel Department!"
"Yeah." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Then I will..."
Before Xing Qianqiu could finish speaking, Liu Zhi walked in quickly.
"Mr. Duan." Liu Zhi nodded to Duan Ming first, and then said to Xing Qianqiu: "Sir, Ji Qianfan is dead!"
"What?" Xing Qianqiu stood up suddenly.
"Ji Qianfan." Duan Ming's smile faded and he sighed: "Haha, these four great talents in Linzhou are considered dead. What a good trick."
Soon, Xing Qianqiu took Duan Ming to the bank of the Sulin River. Ji Qianfan's body was lying on the bank, naked.
"Sir." A Mirror officer came over quickly, holding a yellow cloth in his hand: "This was the one that was covered on the deceased's face before."
"Yeah." Xing Qianqiu reached out and took the yellow cloth and opened it. The look on his face became even colder.
"Check, don't miss a single detail. Take everyone back for investigation. Where are the two people watching him?" Xing Qianqiu closed the yellow cloth in his hand and said sternly.
"Sir." After Xing Qianqiu finished speaking, two officials hurriedly walked out, their faces looking very ugly.
"What happened?" Xing Qianqiu said coldly, his eyes blazing.
"It's our fault." An official sighed: "Everything was as usual. After Ji Qianfan returned home yesterday, he locked himself in the study and did not go out again. It is not convenient for the two subordinates to show up at Ji Qianfan's home.
So I guarded the front and back doors of his house respectively."
"But today at Yinshi, a man in black climbed over the wall. My subordinates were worried that it was Ji Qianfan, so they chased after him."
"The man in black was later tracked down and turned out to be a servant at Ji Qianfan's house. When his subordinates returned to Ji Qianfan's house, Ji Qianfan had disappeared."
"Where is that servant?" Xing Qianqiu said solemnly.
"He has been escorted back to the prison of the Mirror Division," the officer replied.
"Okay, I miss you for a reason, but I don't want to blame you too much." Xing Qianqiu said coldly: "But you can't escape the blame for Ji Qianfan's death. When you go back, you two will each receive twenty military sticks!"
"Yes!" the two officers said without any excuse, clasping their fists at the same time.
"Do you know where the mistake is?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
One of the officers thought for a while and said, "Reporting to your lord, no matter what the cause of the incident was, the result was due to our negligence in our duties and we should be punished."
Xing Qianqiu looked at the official and shook his head: "When I saw the man in black jumping over the wall, why didn't I subdue him immediately and still chase him? This left the gate unguarded. This is the first crime.
"
"Failing to investigate for a moment caused the man in black to stay away and had to chase him. Why didn't you contact the person at the back door and let him enter Ji's house to confirm whether the man in black was Ji Qianfan, and if not, protect Ji Qianfan's safety? This is a crime.
two."
"Although you are on different fronts, why can't you exchange information in a timely manner? The lack of cooperation gives the other party the opportunity to divert the tiger away from the mountain. This is the third crime."
"Can you understand that these three crimes are punished simultaneously?"
"Understood!" The two officers nodded at the same time.
"He died of drowning." At this time, Duan Ming and Sun Wuzuo had also completed the examination and said to Xing Qianqiu: "There are no signs of strangulation on the neck, and there are no obvious signs of restraint on the body. Normally, he should have died after falling into the water.
.”
Then Duan Ming smiled and said, "If there is really someone who would take a leisurely stroll naked by the river."
"Look at this." Xing Qianqiu nodded and handed the yellow cloth in his hand to Duan Ming.
Duan Ming opened it and took a look, his face suddenly changed, he looked at Xing Qianqiu with a wry smile: "Old Xing, you are really good at it, you are just kidding me."
"Haha, no." Xing Qianqiu replied calmly.
"I saw this thing, do you want to kill me?" Duan Ming curled his lips.
"What do you think the crowd here is doing? I'm afraid that within an hour, the contents on this yellow cloth will be known to the whole city." Xing Qianqiu sighed and looked around: "So, even if you read it now
It doesn’t matter.”
"I believe you, can what they heard be the same as what I saw with my own eyes?" Duan Ming gritted his teeth and said, "But after all the trouble, it turned out to be paving the way for this incident."
"Yes, the people behind the scenes have ulterior motives!" Xing Qianqiu said solemnly: "The case must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise if this matter continues to develop..."
"I'm afraid the world will be in chaos..." Duan Ming let out a long sigh and looked at the content on the yellow cloth again. There were only sixteen words on Nuo Da's piece of yellow cloth:
The demon queen confuses the government, and the emperor is ignorant.
Gods and Buddhas are angry, and heavenly punishment is coming! This chapter has been completed!
