The first time Chu Suiliang heard this voice, his expression was startled, and then his eyes widened suddenly.
He looked directly at the stranger in front of him, a little excited and a little unbelievable.
He said uncertainly: "Master Shen?"
Then, he saw the stranger gently nod his head and said with a smile: "Do you recognize him?"
Chu Suiliang suddenly showed a look of great surprise.
He quickly stood up and said: "Sir, how could this... be you!"
"When did you come back?"
"How come you don't know this at all?"
Shen Lian looked at Chu Suiliang's excited look and chuckled: "I just arrived in Chang'an secretly yesterday. Now, in the whole of Chang'an, except Han Min, you are the only one who knows that I'm back."
Return to Chang'an secretly?
Chu Suiliang's eyes flashed.
He walked directly to the door and said to the government servant outside: "There is nothing to do here. You can go do other things first. If necessary, I will come to find you."
Naturally, the Yamen servant would not disobey the order of Chu Suiliang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and leave quickly.
After they left, Chu Suiliang closed the door.
Then he came to Shen Lian. He hurriedly bowed to Shen Lian and said, "I have met Mr. Shen."
Shen Lian smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, there is no need to be polite."
After Chu Suiliang stood up, he looked at Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen returned secretly, but what is the purpose?"
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
He said: "My original intention was to prevent the Beidou Society from knowing about my return to Chang'an, so that the Beidou Society would not set an ambush on the road."
"Later, I heard that Master Bai had an accident, and when Master Bai had an accident, it happened to be right after I attacked the Beidou Society, so I suspected that there might be some influence from the Beidou Society in this matter."
"Therefore, I simply kept my identity hidden and secretly returned to Chang'an to investigate this matter and determine whether it is related to the Beidou Society."
This was also the first time Han Min heard Shen Lian say this.
He looked at Shen Lian, and Chu Suiliang also hurriedly asked: "Sir, are you sure?"
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
"I am 90% certain that what happened this time is related to the Beidou Society. In other words, Mr. Bai was plotted by the Beidou Society."
These words made Han Min's eyes widen subconsciously.
Chu Suiliang also frowned and said, "As expected."
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Actually, Xianguan also felt that Master Bai was plotted against. Therefore, even if Master Bai admitted that he was the one who did it, Xianguan did not close the case rashly."
"It's just that the lower official's power is low. After all this time, the case still hasn't been investigated."
Shen Lian said: "This case is indeed difficult to investigate. If I hadn't suspected from the beginning that this might be something Beidou would do to retaliate against me, I wouldn't have a clear direction."
Chu Suiliang smiled bitterly and nodded.
Shen Lian said: "Master Bai is not the kind of person who easily conflicts with others, let alone someone who fights. Have you ever asked Master Bai why he wanted to fight with Zhou Qin?"
Chu Suiliang said: "The official asked, of course, but..."
"But Mr. Bai refuses to say?" Shen Lian said.
Chu Suiliang nodded, looked at Shen Lian and said, "Yes, I asked Lord Bai sincerely and told Lord Bai that this was related to the truth of the case, but Lord Bai still refused to tell."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
He understands Bai Yanguan.
Bai Yanguan has been the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for decades, and now he has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so Bai Yanguan is very aware of the matter of settling the case.
……………………
Therefore, it is impossible for him not to know how inappropriate it is to conceal important information.
But he still hid it.
It seems that... the reason why Bai Yanguan and Zhou Qin took action is too hidden for Bai Yanguan?
Shen Lian pondered for a moment, then looked at Chu Suiliang and said, "Did Dali Temple encounter any trouble after I left?"
Chu Suiliang shook his head: "It's not a big deal. Your lords still care about your face."
"only……"
"Just what?" Shen Lian asked.
Chu Suiliang looked at Shen Lian and said, "It's just that after you left, the number of cases Dali Temple received was more than before."
……………………
"I'm not sure if this is abnormal or not."
"There are more cases than before?"
Shen Lian's eyes narrowed slightly. He pondered for a moment and said, "What are these cases? Are they difficult cases or simple cases? Are they brought up by the local government or happened in Chang'an?"
Chu Suiliang said: "Most of them are simple cases. The number of these cases submitted to the local government is about 10% more than before, while the number of cases that occurred in Chang'an City is about 20% more."
"However, I have carefully reviewed these cases and found that there are no major problems with the evidence, so I am not sure if I am overthinking it. Maybe this is normal."
Shen Lian pursed his lips and sat down directly, just like he used to sit in Dali Temple, and said: "Bring over all the files from the past few months and let me take a look."
At this moment the sunlight is shining through the window.
The light shining on Shen Lian's body seemed to be covered in a golden battle suit.
Listening to familiar words and looking at familiar people, Han Min and Chu Suiliang felt down to earth until this moment.
Shen Lian of Dali Temple, who made them all feel at ease, is really back!
Not long after, Chu Suiliang had people move in the files from this period.
Several months of files piled up together have become a small mountain.
Han Min looked at these files with wide eyes, and his eyeballs almost fell out.
He couldn't help but said: "How many months did your Dali Temple accumulate so many cases?"
Chu Suiliang glanced at Han Min and said: "Cases from all over the Tang Dynasty must be submitted to Dali Temple for review and approval. Of course, the number will not be small."
"But these months have been particularly high."
Han Min touched his nose.
Fortunately, my own Jing Zhaoyin only needs to take care of the cases in Chang'an City.
And once he encounters difficult cases, he can just hand them over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment directly, so after a few months, although he has a lot of cases, they are not so many.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Han Min looked at the pile of files and couldn't help but said: "Master Shen, when do you have to see this?"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "These cases have been reviewed by Mr. Chu. The specific problems do not exist, so I only need to take a rough look. In this case, the speed will be much faster."
Shen Lian believed in Chu Suiliang's ability and conduct.
Therefore, he believed that as long as Chu Suiliang took over these cases, there would be absolutely no problems.
Therefore, he will not carefully check whether the case itself is perfect.
What he wants to look at is the overall case situation.
Shen Lian quickly began to look through the files.
His speed is very fast, almost as fast as one glance.
When I was reading this dossier, my hand was already holding the next dossier.
The next file is opened, and the next file is in hand.
Han Min looked at the speed at which he was reading the files as if he were flipping through a book, and couldn't help but feel that he had learned a lot.
It turns out that Mr. Shen checked the files so quickly.
He compared it with Shen Lian, and he felt that if he read one file, Lord Shen could read dozens of them.
This difference in efficiency made him give Shen Lian a thumbs up again.
And more importantly, he knew that even if he spent so much time reading it, he might not be able to discover anything.
But Mr. Shen flipped through it so quickly. As long as there was a problem, it would never escape Mr. Shen's eyes.
There is really no comparison between people!
Fortunately, in Han Min's heart, Shen Lian is no longer at the level that a normal person can achieve.
So he was already prepared.
In this way, this mountain of files was turned over by Shen Lian in more than an hour.
Then Shen Lian closed his eyes.
The brain started spinning crazily.
When Chu Suiliang and Han Min saw this, they both held their breath.
For fear of disturbing Shen Lian.
With just half a stick of incense left, Shen Lian slowly opened his eyes.
Han Min hurriedly asked: "Master Shen, how are you doing?"
Shen Lian took out a breath and said, "There is indeed a problem."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Suiliang and Han Min's eyes widened slightly.
Chu Suiliang asked unexpectedly: "What's the problem?"
Shen Lian said: "Crime will not increase or decrease rashly."
"It is directly related to the public security situation and the stability of the court."
"During this period, there was no turmoil in the court, and Chang'an remained as stable as ever, so normally, the crime rate should not increase rashly!"
"So from the beginning, I thought there was something wrong with this."
"It's just that these ideas are still somewhat subjective."
He looked at the two of them: "In order to verify my guess, I looked through the case files that occurred during this period."
"I found that cases of theft and robbery were on par with other months and were in a stable state, with almost no increase or even a slight decrease."
"I think this is normal, because the public security in Datang is getting better and better."
"But the total number of cases has increased, but the number of theft and robbery cases has not increased, which means that only one type of cases has increased."
The two of them looked at Shen Lian hurriedly.
Then Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Murder!"
"I looked through these files and found that the number of homicides has skyrocketed in the past few months."
"At the same time, the detection rate has also skyrocketed!"
"You must know that the most difficult case to crack among all cases is the homicide case, because the murderer will try his best to cover it up because he does not want to pay for his life. Therefore, normally, ten cases of homicide can be solved in a short time. There are less than three cracked inside. This is the normal probability."
"But in these files, there are ten cases, and they were solved almost in the same month as the case. There are eight in total. What does this mean?"
Han Min said, "What?"
Shen Lian took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, and said: "Someone deliberately increases the case detection rate so that the case can be completed quickly and avoid attracting more attention!"
Shen Lian's words immediately stunned Chu Suiliang and Han Min.
After the two of them understood what Shen Lian meant, their eyes widened slightly.
Han Min couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency said...someone deliberately wanted the case to be closed as soon as possible to avoid being noticed."
"Are these cases all perjury? They were not really cracked, but someone just forged evidence clues to quickly close the case?"
When Chu Suiliang heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
After all, these cases all passed through his hands.
He approved it.
If what Han Min said really happened, wouldn't it mean that he would have many unjust, false and wrong cases in his hands?
When he thought of this, his face suddenly turned pale.
But Shen Lian shook his head slightly.
He glanced at Han Min and said, "Don't scare Mr. Chu."
Han Min was startled.
Chu Suiliang hurriedly looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian said: "I have seen these evidences, and the evidence chain is no problem and is completely closed."
"If someone really forged it, they would need witnesses and physical evidence. Almost every aspect would have to be forged, but this is not an easy thing."
"Not to mention there are so many cases. If we forge evidence in every case, it would be impossible."
"So, even though some of them may be fake, most of them are absolutely fine."
"The murderer is the same murderer, it's just that the speed of solving the case was too fast."
Having said this, Shen Lian looked at Han Min and said, "Han Min, I also saw the case that you Jing Zhaoyin solved."
"One of the cases here is that Qianniu Wei was killed on the street at night after the curfew. Do you still remember it?"
Han Min thought for a while, then nodded quickly: "Of course I remember, Qian Niuwei's status is extraordinary after all, it is related to His Majesty's safety, and I don't dare to relax at all."
"How long did it take for you to solve the case?" Shen Lian asked.
Han Min didn't think much and said: "Two days!"
"Two days?"
Shen Lian smiled and said, "How does this speed compare with your other cases?"
"this……"
Han Min immediately understood what Shen Lian meant.
He hurriedly said: "Master Shen, what you mean is... the case of Xiaguan was solved too quickly?"
Shen Lian said: "Tell me about the situation of this case."
Han Min thought for a while and said: "This is an unexpected incident. After the curfew that day, Qian Niuwei went home on duty."
"But on the road, I saw a man running in a hurry, holding a baggage in his hand. Seeing that something was wrong, Qianniuwei scolded the man and told him to stop."
"It turned out that the man was a thief who had just stolen some precious jewelry, but was discovered by the owner. He was worried that the owner would report him to the police, so he ran away in a hurry."
"Then he saw Qianniu Guard. He thought Qianniu Guard was coming to arrest him. In panic, he attacked Qianniu Guard without his attention and stabbed Qianniu Guard in the chest with a knife."
"Then he ran away."
"This case was originally not easy to investigate. After all, the murderer and the deceased had no intersection at all. If we use normal means to deduce it piece by piece, it is obviously not easy to investigate."
"Unexpectedly, that night, the thief was discovered by a family who got up at night. Although that family did not see the scene of the crime, they found the thief running away in panic. Moreover, that family also happened to Yes, I have seen thieves."
