Without any time to think, Guan Ning rushed out and saw many people surrounding a place in the courtyard.

"Get out of the way!"

Guan Ning scolded and went inside, only to see a man lying on the ground. Blood was flowing out from his neck. He was spread out on the floor. He was already dead and could not die anymore.

He is today's night watchman Hu Liang.

There was a soldier next to him with a bewildered face.

"What's going on?"

Guan Ning asked coldly.

There were so many people in the yard, how could they still die?

It looks like he is not being killed, but committing suicide!

"I don't know."

The guard soldier next to him said hurriedly: "He told me that he wanted to see my weapon, so I showed it to him, and then he picked up the knife and committed suicide..."

"This is unthinkable at all."

The situation was clarified in just a few words.

He committed suicide.

"Kill yourself out of fear of crime!"

At this time Deng Qiu came over and said: "He is the one who will be on patrol tonight. He killed Wan Langzhong and then committed suicide out of fear of crime. This is a clear fact."

"yes."

"It depends on the situation."

"I really didn't expect Hu Liang to do such a thing. Maybe he has been dissatisfied with Wan Langzhong for a long time..."

People around him were talking a lot and looked surprised.

The Arsenal Department has become the Death Arsenal Department, and so far, there have been five or six people killed either accidentally or killed.

"Guan Ning, in my opinion, the case can be closed."

Deng Qiu continued: "It is already Yin Shi, and there will be another hour before dawn. At that time, the arsenal department will be in chaos, and the impact will be too great. Recently, the imperial court has established a new army, and various things are complicated. We cannot let this happen.

delay."

His rhetoric is understandable as the left minister of the Ministry of War.

"Case closed?"

Guan Ning asked, "Then let me ask you, what was Hu Liang's motive for killing Wan Langzhong?"

"Does it even matter?"

Deng Qiu said calmly: "The situation is very obvious. I don't believe you can't see it. If you continue to pester me, I will doubt your intentions."

"Should you investigate the case or should I investigate the case? Did the Holy Spirit give you an imperial edict or did he give me an edict? It is up to me to decide when the case will be concluded."

Guan Ning said directly: "The ban from the Arsenal Department is still in effect. No one is allowed to leave the scene, including you, Mr. Deng!"

These words shocked everyone.

"You... are so brave!"

Deng Qiu was extremely angry.

"I am the Minister of the Ministry of War and a third-rank official. Who do you think you are?"

"The Royal Forest Army obeys the order and is not allowed to let anyone go!"

Guan Ning was too lazy to tell him more. Deng Qiu was too suspicious. He even suspected that he was the one who killed Wan Langzhong and made Hu Liang commit suicide!

evidence!

Still evidence!

For such an official, there must be conclusive evidence.

"Put the body away."

Guan Ning said no more and returned to the classroom.

The others looked at each other, this Guan Ning was too domineering.

"Master Deng, Guan Ning is too rude. Wait until this case is over before dealing with him."

Lu Yong, a doctor in the Si Affairs Department, gritted his teeth and said.

Deng Qiu said nothing, but there was murderous intent in his eyes...

"Do you think Deng Qiu knows martial arts?"

Guan Ning asked Mo Xuan.

"Probably not?"

Mo Xuan said: "Master Deng is a civil servant. This is something everyone knows."

"What? Do you suspect Master Deng to be the murderer?"

"Um."

"This...is impossible."

"have no idea."

Guan Ning frowned. He sat on Wan Zhengye's seat and thought about it. He had such a premonition.

"Huh?"

"What's this?"

He suddenly noticed that something seemed to be exposed under the table.

Guan Ning hurriedly knelt down and took it out. His eyes suddenly lit up. It was a note booklet, exactly the one that was missing in April.

"Found it!"

Guan Ning looked surprised.

He quickly turned to the end and saw a page with records on it.

"On April 28th, Xiu Mu was ill at home. Master Deng came to visit and casually mentioned the need to use a weapon..."

A very casual note, just like what I remembered before, but it is quite important information.

Wan Zhengye has a habit of recording important matters, especially as he is old and has a bad memory.

On that day, he was sleeping at home due to illness. Deng Qiu came to visit and casually mentioned the need to use weapons. He was the right minister of the Ministry of War and had every right to do so. Of course, Wan Zhengye would not say anything. Moreover, he was not there, and there was no comment afterwards.

Didn't care...

That's the whole process.

"Is it really him?"

Mo Xuan's expression was full of surprise.

Deng Qiu was the left minister of the Ministry of War, with a high and powerful position. How could such a person be a legacy of the deposed emperor?

"He was also the one who killed Wan Zhengye!"

Guan Ning said calmly: "Because I intervened in the investigation, he became anxious and thought about the omissions, so he thought of Wan Langzhong."

"Hu Liang should also be one of their people, but he was worried about what would happen, so he committed suicide out of fear of the crime and took the blame so that Deng Qiu could be taken out!"

"It's really..."

Mo Xuan still looked shocked, but then she calmed down.

"But this record alone doesn't mean anything, and it doesn't clearly say that the Qianye Blade was used. This is not conclusive evidence!"

"Yes."

Guan Ning said solemnly: "But it's almost the same. We have caught Wang Cheng. He can testify against Deng Mingzhi as to why Deng Mingzhi ordered Wang Cheng to kill Shi Hongfu. This makes no sense at all, so it must be Deng Qiu's arrangement."

"Then we arrest Deng Mingzhi?"

Mo Xuan worriedly said: "But this will scare off the enemy."

"I've already arranged for someone to go."

Guan Ning said: "Two warriors from the Duwu Division have gone to secretly arrest and conduct surprise interrogations. I believe there will be news soon."

"That's why you kept Deng Qiu here and refused to leave?"

"Yes."

"It's amazing, the arrangements are perfect."

It was rare for Mo Xuan to use a special tone.

"This is all thanks to Mr. Mo's teachings. If it weren't for Mr. Mo's advice, I would..."
