He was written in a suicide note, and the fear revealed between the lines was from the heart. He even died on the spot before the suicide note was completed. This is strange no matter how you look at it.
However, both Wu Zuo’s conclusion and the cross-examination of the Wu family and Wu Yuan’s doctors pointed out that Wu Yuan’s death was caused by a sudden illness and had nothing to do with the person named Zhang Yan.
.If this were not the case, just based on the name left on the suicide note, Zhang Yan would have been taken back to the Yamen for careful interrogation, instead of simply confirming his whereabouts as is the case now.
"grown ups."
"Come in."
The adjutant pushed open the door and came in with a thick piece of paper. After saluting, he placed the paper on the table in front of Yang Jie.
It's actually very interesting. Just a few hours ago, the owner of this study room was Wu Yuan, and Wu Yuan's body was even lying under the seat where Yang Jie was sitting at this time.
"Is the eucalyptus house under control?"
"Yes, sir. Our people first secured the entrance and exit of the eucalyptus room. During this period, someone tried to block it and was cut down twice. Now we have called a group of soldiers from the garrison to help keep an eye on it, and have begun to inspect the interior of the eucalyptus room.
I have sorted it out. So far, there are quite a lot of things hidden in it.
In addition, this document is about the "Zhang Yan" mentioned in Wu Yuan's suicide note. It has been completed. My subordinates briefly browsed through it and found that it was very solid and seemed to have no problems. But
When I think about it carefully, it doesn’t make sense.”
"What doesn't make sense?"
"The motive of Zhang Yan's murder makes no sense. He didn't run or hide after the murder, but ended up hungover in a place that was unfamiliar to him. It's even more unbelievable."
After hearing this, Yang Jie also opened the copy of the document, and while flipping through it quickly, he asked: "So you think there is something wrong with this document?"
"Well. At least it's not clear enough, and it can't stand up to scrutiny. If one of my subordinates decides to take a life like this, I will definitely spread his ass and tell him to get out."
Yang Jie laughed. As an adjutant, he was born as a police officer, and half of his abilities were in investigating various crimes. Later, he was promoted with Yang Jie, and it was impossible to continue running crimes, but his habits and eyesight were not good.
After a while, I could see something fishy in Zhang Yan’s story at a glance.
Yang Jie read it hastily. Then he said: "You can take someone to check where the witnesses and testimonies mentioned above come from. Maybe they can be used later."
"Yes, sir. But we don't have enough manpower this time. The people in Langyuan City's Yamen think it's prudent not to use any of them for the time being." The adjutant's words were decisive. Although he had only been in Langyuan City for half a day, he could
It can be said that things in Langyuan City have long been familiar to me. I know how deep the water here is and how bad the officials are.
This is not to say that everyone here in Langyuan City is a thug who takes bribes and bends the law. There are also people who seek to survive in the cracks. But this kind of people does not mean that they can be trusted. They also make mistakes when they are "forced"
There is no possibility of "compromise", otherwise why would I have stayed in the mud pit until now?
"What do you mean? Transfer people from the county governor's office? Or transfer people from another place?"
"Sir, what I mean is to transfer our own people directly from the county governor's mansion. Wu Yuan has been operating in Langyuan City for many years. It's hard to say how big the network weaved around it is. It's better to be cautious. As for our people
You can ask Mr. Zhou’s soldiers to help take care of you before you come here.”
Yang Jie thought for a moment after hearing this, then agreed with his adjutant's opinion, nodded and said: "Do as you say, report it to Mr. Xiao immediately, simply report the first-hand situation, and at the same time request for reinforcements.
As for Mr. Zhou, he also sent a note with a more sincere attitude, asking them to help maintain the internal and external security of the Langyuan City Yamen and the safety of the officials. It is best to protect them all. You know what I mean.
?"
The adjutant nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly went to implement it.
Soon an urgent report left Langyuan City and rushed toward Xiangkou, where the county governor's mansion was. At the same time, the adjutant personally went to the garrison camp outside the city and asked Zhou Cang for assistance.
Zhou Cang didn't show any airs. He had to give face to the dignified County Sheriff Zuo Langguan. So with a wave of his hand, half of the battalion left the camp, taking Yang Jie's request for permission and his own big
The printed documents were reported to the Yamen of the General Manager of Zuojun Road, and at the same time they drove into Langyuan City.
There are half a battalion of 500 soldiers, including 50 cavalry. The formation when entering the city is definitely very intimidating. Especially for the people living in a sensitive geographical location like Langyuan City, first
The first reaction is: Is Beiwu State coming? Or is Huayue on the other side of the river fighting to the edge of the city?
156nt
But then I thought something was wrong. If I really got there, wouldn't the city gate have been closed long ago? Can it still be left open for people to come in and out?
So something big happened in the city? Could it be related to the sudden death of the city administrator?
There are many good people, and they are all the so-called upper-class people in Langyuan City. After all, for them, the top minds in Langyuan City are related to their "livelihood". But for the common people, they can only chat about gossip, and no one cares about them.
I will take it into my heart.
But soon, the upper class in Langyuan City were so frightened by the next scene that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
One counts each, but all officials with titles in the local government offices of Langyuan City are assigned soldiers to guard the door and back door of their homes, and several soldiers follow them openly when traveling. The two Langyuan people
The city's left and right lieutenants and even a full group of soldiers accompanied them, and the number of people guarding the house was also counted!
This move of the garrison scared not only the upper class, but also the officials. The first reaction was that the garrison Zhou Cang was rebelling, right? But after a second thought, it didn't seem like it.
When asked, the soldier replied: "I received the order from the peak. There have been bandits secretly committing murders in Langyuan City recently. I am accompanying you to protect all officials."
Just this sentence, if you ask anyone else, they will not answer you. If you dare to run around or deliberately get away from them, you will be grabbed by your clothes and dragged back. No matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with the word "protection".
By this time, even the most obtuse person would understand that the biggest thing happening in Langyuan City right now is not that a city official has died, but that the entire local officialdom of Langyuan City is in big trouble!
That night, late at night, Yang Jie went to the study room of the Wu Mansion and saw the account books, property lists, and various retained correspondence that he had collected after digging three feet into the house.
It was the same adjutant, still in high spirits at this time, but his eyes were a lot more bloodshot. He bowed to Yang Jie in his seat with a slightly excited tone and said: "Sir, with these belongings, we can drag Wu Yuan out."
It would be fine to skin him alive. It's just a pity that he died first. However, the letters and accounts received from the Wu Mansion can also be used. At least the contents of many secret letters received before can be matched. In that case, those eucalyptus documents will be
I can continue to dig deeper.”
"Very good! Mr. Xiao already told me before this matter came. As long as he is from Beijiang County, no matter who he is, he will be captured if he is found. If there is any pressure, I will shoulder the responsibility. So, it's time to do some digging.
