Hearing Du Chuke say the words "Zhang Qin", Shen Lian's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.
Zhang Qin’s line is really revealed directly!
Mrs. Han gave herself a clue about Zhang Qin.
Si She also gave clues to Zhang Qin.
I came to the Ministry of Industry and found out that the last person before the fire was Zhang Qin.
And now, Zhang Qin has disappeared again.
He shouldn't have disappeared.
But he is missing!
All of this seemed to be a circle, surrounding Zhang Qin.
This should be a normal and reasonable thing.
But at this time, Shen Lian felt a little strange.
If the person who set the fire was Zhang Qin, Shen Lian thought it was reasonable.
After all, it has been deduced before that Zhang Qin was the one who led Han to move to the temple.
Not surprisingly, Zhang Qin was a Beidou Society thief who had been hiding in the Ministry of Industry earlier.
So after discovering that Han Qian was killed inexplicably, Zhang Qin got rid of some of the fake Han Qian's tail, which makes sense.
However, you must know that Zhang Qin didn't know clearly, and he had already begun to doubt him.
Currently, the only person who knows Zhang Qin's name is Mrs. Han.
But Mrs. Han had no chance to spread the news.
In other words, neither Zhang Qin nor Beidou Hui knew that Zhang had actually been exposed.
Therefore, under this situation, Zhang Qindu reached the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This official position is believed to be a very important position for the Beidou Society.
If there is no other way, they will never give up easily.
And he hadn't expressed any doubts about Zhang Qin, so there was no need for Zhang Qin to set the fire and then run away.
This clearly means that he is suspected of setting a fire!
This is almost equivalent to self-destruction.
Therefore, this self-destruction is very unreasonable!
What was the reason that made Zhang Qin self-destruct?
What was the reason for Beichen to give up such an important chess piece as Zhang Qin?
Shen Lian had some doubts in his heart.
Could it be that they already know that they are targeting Zhang Qin?
But the time from when he knew Zhang Qin's name to now was not long at all, not even more than an hour.
How could they know in such a short period of time.
Or should I say...
Are there other reasons for Zhang Qin’s disappearance?
Shen Lian pondered for a moment, feeling that Zhang Qin's disappearance was not as simple as Beidou giving up.
He looked at Du Chuke and said, "Have you searched for him? Are you sure you haven't found him?"
Du Chuke nodded: "I will issue an order for everyone to gather together."
"Then Zhang Qin was not found."
"I was worried that Zhang Qin didn't hear my order or was ignored, so I sent someone to look for him in his office, but he might not be found."
"Then I asked other people. Others were scattered throughout the yamen, and they all said that they had not seen Zhang Qin after the fire. He had indeed disappeared."
Shen Lian continued to ask: "Have you asked the guards guarding the door? Did they see Zhang Qin leaving?"
Du Chuke said: "I asked, but they said that no one left after the fire. At the same time, they did not find that Zhang Qin left at other times."
As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Qin can be regarded as the second or third in command of the Ministry of Industry. The guards will naturally pay great attention to Zhang Qin.
Once Zhang Qin left, it was impossible for the guards not to notice.
Shen Lian squinted his eyes, this was interesting.
The guards did not notice that Zhang Qin had left.
But Zhang Qin disappeared.
And no one saw him after the fire.
So where did he go?
Can you still climb over the wall and leave?
But it’s totally unnecessary!
With Zhang Qin's identity, even if he took advantage of the chaos to leave after the fire broke out, he could leave through the gate openly.
The guards would never dare to stop him.
He can leave easily.
But if he leaves over the wall, there is a risk of being discovered. Once discovered, there will be no explanation.
Therefore, no matter what Shen Lian thinks, he feels that leaving openly and honestly is the most appropriate and least problematic.
He felt that judging from Zhang Qin's ability to hide in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, Zhang Qin would never add anything to the problem.
But it turned out that Zhang Qin did not leave from the main entrance.
So, does this mean that... Zhang Qin actually did not leave?
Is he still in the Yamen?
But Du Chuke said that he was not found...
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, looked at Du Chuke, and said, "Master Du, my suggestion is that you should search carefully. Don't miss any room, any corner, or even a cabinet."
"I suspect that Zhang Qin is still in the Yamen!"
"Still in the Yamen?"
Du Chuke was a little surprised when he heard Shen Lian's words.
He obviously sent someone to look for it, right?
However, Du Chuke was aware of Shen Lian's intelligence.
With Shen Lian's ability, even if the intruder farts and says that the fart smells good, Du Chuke will doubt whether there is something wrong with his sense of smell and think that the fart smells bad.
Therefore, without any hesitation, he said directly: "Okay, I will let someone search for it carefully."
Shen Lian said: "Master Du, we must let them not let go of any corner."
"Don't overlook any blind spots."
Du Chuke nodded directly: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will give them instructions."
After saying that, Du Chuke left quickly.
Shen Lian looked back to the second floor.
Three-fifths of the entire second floor was burned down.
Three-fifths of the files, almost ten years old, were burned.
These files, because of their age, are very precious if they can be preserved.
Now that it's burned down, it basically means it's completely gone.
This is a huge loss for the Ministry of Industry.
but……
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
"Perhaps things can turn around."
He suddenly turned to look at Si She and said, "Si She, please do something for me."
Sishe hurriedly came over and said, "Sir, please give me your instructions."
Shen Lian said: "Send someone to search Zhang Qin's mansion and find something."
"If you can't find it, check to see if Zhang Qin has other houses. The house may not be in his name, but he often goes there."
"Alternatively, you can also check whether Zhang Qin secretly raised an outside room while he was outside. If so, check it out as well."
When Sishe heard Shen Lian's words, her eyes flashed and she said, "Did Master Shen mean that?"
Shen Lian said: "I have some suspicions, but I can't be sure yet, so let's go check it out."
"Right."
Shen Lian asked: "During this period, Zhang Qin didn't go to the temple often, did he?"
Sishe shook his head: "According to the information we investigated, Zhang Qin only goes to the temple once a year. The last time he went to the temple was half a year ago."
Shen Lian nodded slightly: "Okay, I know, you can go check it out."
"yes!"
The snake quickly left.
Shen Lian took a closer look at the fire scene on the second floor. He said to a yamen servant: "When you are cleaning here later, pay attention and help me find the fragments of the porcelain bottle."
As he spoke, Shen Lian took out the blackened fragments he had picked up and said, "It's like this. After you find it, collect it and send it to me."
The yamen servant did not dare to hesitate and nodded quickly: "I understand, little one."
Shen Lian nodded slightly. There were no more clues on the second floor, so Shen Lian came to the first floor.
When he arrived on the first floor, he saw the boss, Bo, directing the government officials to move the files on the first floor out.
"Master Shen."
Lord Bo quickly bowed to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian said: "Everyone move away?"
The master nodded and said: "It's not safe here. If it rains, these files will get wet. So Lord Shangshu found a room and asked us to stay there temporarily."
Shen Lian nodded.
He leaned against the doorpost, watching everyone busy coming and going, and said casually: "Does Zhang Qin come here often to borrow files?"
The boss said: "I have been coming more frequently in the past two months, basically once every two days."
Shen Lian said: "You didn't come here often before?"
The boss nodded: "Unless it's necessary for business, otherwise, I won't come very often."
Shen Lian continued to ask: "If he comes, does he go to the second floor more often, or the first floor?"
The boss said: "The second floor is basically not the first floor."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, it was just as he expected.
He continued: "What about Han Qian? Does he come often to borrow books?"
The boss said: "As for Mr. Han, the frequency is relatively fixed. He always comes three to four times a month. It has been like this for the past few years."
Shen Lian's eyes flashed: "Have you maintained the same frequency for several years?"
The Lord Bo nodded.
Shen Lian's heart suddenly became lively.
"The fake Han Qian has been staying in Han Mansion. It is obvious that the task has not been completely completed."
"And for several years, he has maintained a frequency of no more and no less, looking through the files in the file room."
"Does this indicate that their purpose is to find some secrets from the files?"
"The real Han Qian was an accident when he was repairing a building ten years ago... Repairing a building means that the building has been completed. If you want to repair it, you will definitely need to use the files from that year."
"So, is this dossier what they are looking for?"
"So, what I'm really looking for is not just the files from ten years ago, but also the files on the building that Han Qian repaired?"
Thinking of this, Shen Lian's eyes suddenly brightened a little.
He only felt that he seemed to be closer to the secret of the Beidou Society.
"Master Shen!"
At this moment, a burst of anxious footsteps suddenly sounded.
I saw a yamen servant walking quickly, and he said to Shen Lian: "Master Shangshu asked me to tell Master Shen that we have found Master Zhang Qin, but... he is already dead!"
"Dead?"
Shen Lian was a little surprised when he heard what the yamen servant said.
In his mind, Zhang Qin was worried about being discovered, so he hid and waited for opportunities. This was the most likely thing.
But I didn't expect that Zhang Qin would die!
Shen Lian said directly: "What happened? Why did he die?"
The yamen servant shook his head: "Younger ones don't know either."
"The only thing I know is that Zhang Qin was found in an abandoned well. The well had dried up and Zhang Qin's body was inside."
Abandoned well?
Where is Zhang Qin's body?
No wonder no one found Zhang Qin before.
After all, they just went to call for help. Who would have thought that Zhang Qin would be in the well?
If I hadn't asked Du Chuke to search carefully again, Zhang Qin's body might not have been found.
Shen Lian asked: "How did he die?"
The officer said: "It seems like there was a serious injury to the back of the head."
Severe injury to the back of the head?
Was he killed?
Are there people from the Beidou Society in the Ministry of Industry?
wrong!
Shen Lian frowned.
It shouldn't be what Beidou would do.
Beidou Club has no reason and must kill Zhang Qin to silence him.
After all, Zhang Qin had every chance to leave calmly after setting the fire.
Afterwards, Beidou will take over, disguise Zhang Qin, and help Zhang Qin escape, so Zhang Qin will be fine.
At least in a short period of time, it is impossible to be caught easily.
Therefore, there is obviously a better way. There is no need for the Beidou Society to kill people in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
After all, the risk of being discovered is too high.
Moreover, at this time, people from the Ministry of Works Yamen were coming and going, and people from outside could not come in to kill people.
If someone hiding in the Ministry of Works were killed, wouldn't it reveal that the Beidou Society had other details in the Ministry of Works?
This is completely superfluous.
It does not conform to Beidou Society’s usual style of conduct!
Therefore, Shen Lian felt that the probability of Zhang Qin dying at the hands of the Beidou Society was not high.
So, who killed Zhang Qin?
What's the purpose?
He looked at the yamen servant and said, "Take me there."
The yamen servant quickly said: "Master Shen, please."
The two quickly left the file room and quickly arrived at the backyard of the Yamen.
Then, in a remote location in the northeast corner, I saw Zhang Qin's body.
At this time, Du Chuke was arranging for people to guard the scene.
After seeing Shen Lian, he hurriedly came over to greet him, his face a little ugly, and said: "Master Shen, Zhang Qin is dead."
First there was a fire, and Zhang Qin, who later became the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was also killed. This was a huge blow to the Ministry of Industry.
For Du Chuke, it was even more of a huge trouble.
Shen Lian nodded and said: "Jingzhao Yin Hanmin is handling the follow-up of Han Qian's case, so this case should be handed over to Dali Temple."
As he said that, he looked at a government official and said, "Please go to the Dali Temple government office and inform Shaoqing about what's going on here and ask him to send a police officer over."
The yamen servant didn't dare to hesitate and said hurriedly: "Young man, go right away."
With that said, he ran out quickly.
After the government officials left, Shen Lian came to the corpse.
At this time, Zhang Qin's body had been taken out of the dry well and placed aside.
……………………
Shen Lian glanced at Zhang Qin's front. His clothes were a little messy, but they might have been messed up when he fell into the well and was taken out again.
There are some scars on the face, but they are not serious.
It may have been caused by falling into the well.
Other than that, there were no obvious fatal wounds on the front.
He asked: "When you found the body, was it face up or back?"
Du Chuke said: "The back is facing up."
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
That was consistent with his inference that many of the wounds might have been caused by falling into the well.
He said: "Turn him over."
That was consistent with his inference that many of the wounds might have been caused by falling into the well.
