Chapter 828 All clues are cut off?
Three more days later, the Imperial City Department.
"Die?" After hearing the news that Di Yingyang came back, even Sun Tu changed color slightly, and leaned forward: "Yang Huaichang is a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, but he actually died in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. This makes no sense."
That's right, after several days of relationship and indirect attacks, Di Yingyang really did not disappoint Sun Tu's trust in him, and actually found out about Yang Huaichang's situation. However, this result was not what they wanted to see, because they could not ask more from the dead.
Di Yingyang also looked suspicious and smiled bitterly: "Actually, I think there is something strange about this matter, but according to the people in the prison, there is no problem with his death, because he committed suicide by hanging a beam in the cell. The coroner also carefully checked it and there was no sign of resumption, so he was found to commit suicide for fear of crime. After all, he is indeed closely related to the case of swallowing, stealing and selling military rations."
"This doesn't make sense. It's not that he was the only one who was arrested for it. And even if he was really convicted, he would be demoted to a remote place at most with his current status. This is much better than dying, right?" Sun Tu couldn't accept such a result, and there was no such coincidence in the world. He just found out that Yang Huaichang, and he committed suicide in prison.
"I said the same, but the Tianzhu refused to investigate this matter any more. Especially when someone exposed the identity of my Hu Ben Army soldiers, they treated me as an enemy and refused to inform me of any details." Di Yingyang smiled helplessly. This time his powerful communication ability could no longer work.
Seeing this, Sun Tu couldn't say anything else, so he could only say: "You have tried your best, and I will think of other ways to investigate the next thing. However, Yang Huaichang's death made me see something else. Someone must have wanted to cover up something, so he would not hesitate to put an imperial court to death!"
"But I just can't figure out what methods they used to force Yang Huaichang, a fourth-rank doctor, to commit suicide..." Di Yingyang still couldn't let it go: "Maybe by finding out this inside story, you can find a breakthrough."
"Yes, it's a pity that the body fell into the hands of the Ministry of Justice, and we couldn't even check it..." Sun Tu suddenly had an idea in his mind: "No, there are still opportunities. The Ministry of Justice cannot keep Yang Huaichang's body forever. Once it is sent back to his family, we can still think of a way." After that, he looked at the other party again, and this kind of thing was what Di Yingyang was good at.
Di Yingyang became interested and did not refuse: "This is easy. I have found out that Yang Huaichang has a mansion in Tokyo. As long as he comes to his house as a friend, he can always gain the trust of his wife and children."
"Then please send me all this to Brother Jiu. Maybe I can find out some relevant information from his family." Sun Tu said seriously.
Just as Di Yingyang clasped his fists and responded to the instructions, Cui Lue Shang also rushed over with a serious expression. After several days of hard work, he finally found some clues. As soon as he opened his mouth, Sun Tu's expression became more and more serious: "Marty, it is impossible for someone to rob the prison."
“How to say it?”
"I asked those brothers who personally took action to capture Zhou Xiong. According to their description, the prisoner captured that day was the person in the prison. And some of them remembered that this person was a little confused at the scene of the murder, so it was easy to capture him..."
Sun Tu was stunned: "So, from the beginning, the Zhou Xiong you Kaifeng Prefecture took was this person?" After the other party nodded, Sun Tu shook his head: "This is impossible. With this person's body, let alone killing those rascals who make trouble all day long, it would be considered lucky to not be beaten to death by them. Now he is insisted that he is the murderer. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"But someone had a proof at that time, and he was wearing blood-splattered clothes, holding a blood-covered knife in his hand, and staying at the scene... Anyway, from any perspective, he could be confirmed as a murderer." After a pause, he added: "In addition, someone pointed out that he had only taken revenge for Master Zhou Tong, so the yamen had no doubts."
But Sun Tu immediately grasped the flaw: "The problem lies here. He is obviously not Senior Brother Zhou Xiong, and has nothing to do with his master. So why did he do such a thing? I won't admit the wrong person..."
"Then there is only one explanation. This person was pushed out by the real person behind the scenes to punish him." Di Yingyang said his inference. But it was still hard to satisfy Sun Tu: "He could not kill those ruffians, and the only one who took action was Zhou Xiong. But how could such a big man in the capital do this series of things to protect him? If he really has this ability, he can just send people out of the city secretly, so why bother to use this Li Daitao Zhuon's plan? There must be a purpose for such a big deal?"
This time, neither of them could tell what was going on. In fact, everyone had long noticed that this matter was strange and strange, but they could never find the entry point. Especially now that even key figures like Yang Huaichang died inexplicably, they became increasingly unable to see what was going on after the fog.
Sun Tu was thinking a lot, and couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth. The case was much more complicated than what he had thought before, and the people behind the scenes were getting bigger and bigger. First, it was the death of his master, then the murderer of the senior brother, then the person was suddenly replaced, and now a doctor in the Ministry of Justice died... How big is the purpose of all this to make the people behind the scenes commit this series of crimes?
But the clue he had only mastered at the moment made him completely confused. In the end, he could only say: "It seems that only by checking Yang Huaichang's body and family first can we find new clues."
"Then I will go to Xingyu Lane, Ren'anfang, south of the city tomorrow to ask the Yang family for the situation." Di Yingyang said hurriedly. In the past few days, he has figured out Yang Huaichang's situation.
But just as he finished speaking, Cui Lue Shang suddenly asked in surprise: "General Di, where do you think you are going? Xingyu Lane, Ren'anfang, south of the city?"
"What, is there any problem?" Di Yingyang nodded and asked.
Cui Lue Shang's strange look was even heavier: "Just before the young man went out today, I heard someone in the yamen mention that a family massacre had just happened in Xingyu Lane, Ren'anfang, south of the city last night. More than ten family members were burned to death by fire, and no one lived." "What?" Sun Tu, who was about to sit down, suddenly turned around and stepped in front of him, stared at him and said, "You are serious about this?"
"It's absolutely true, how dare you talk nonsense like this big and small?"
Sun Tu's breathing suddenly stopped, and he looked at Di Yingyang, who had also changed his expression on the side. The two of them reached a consensus in an instant. There was no such coincidence in this world. There was arson case in the same alley, and it was only Yang Huaichang's family that they wanted to find. In other words, they were just about to find this family, but someone silenced them first!
Then, Cui Lue Shang finally came back to his taste, his face full of fear. What kind of murderer is this? He is so cruel and arrogant. Not only does he kill people, but he also uses such blatant means. Obviously, in order to cover up the crimes they committed, they are willing to kill more people, even if the other party is innocent... This made him start to worry about his own safety. After all, compared to Sun Tu and the others, he is an absolute little person. As long as someone moves his fingers, he can get rid of himself like an ant.
At this moment, he looked at Sun Tu again with a full of horror: "Marty..."
Sun Tu immediately understood his thoughts and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I will protect you from being thorough. In this way, I will send someone to your home with you and take your family to our mansion to settle down. You will stay there for the time being. It's not too late to talk about other things." Although investigating the case is important, the safety of the people around you is even more important.
"Thank you, Marquis..." Cui Lue Shang was moved, but he did not dare to delay, for fear that his family would be harmed by others after a step late, so he hurried out and then rushed straight to the house under the escort of twenty or thirty soldiers.
However, Di Yingyang seemed quite calm at this time and looked at Sun Tu with some admiration: "The general is quite protective of his family."
"Of course, since I am my friend, I need to protect his vitality." Sun Tu said solemnly: "But in this way, this matter can be investigated. The arson case is not small, and it will inevitably leave many flaws and clues. I don't believe that these people can really cover up the sky so much that they ignore the laws of the Song Dynasty and kill in Tokyo!"
"Yes, the more they do, the more flaws they will have. As long as we look carefully, we can always find it!" Di Yingyang also developed a fighting spirit and said with a bright look: "Then we..."
"First investigate the arson case there." Sun Tu gave the answer.
But before he could get up, a subordinate hurried in again: "General, you've discovered it."
"Hmm?" Sun Tu looked at this person with surprise. He hadn't even asked someone to check anything yet, so why did he find out?
It was not until the other party continued to say that he realized that he had misunderstood, because what both parties were talking about was not the same thing at all: "The brothers we arranged near the crossbow courtyard finally caught the clue. Several suspicious guys had contacted a crossbow master named Cheng Fang in the crossbow courtyard many times, and it seemed that there was something conspiracy!"
If it weren't for this sudden return, Sun Tu would have almost thrown the real errand at his hands behind his head. He was also in charge of the task of detecting the Liao spies in the city!
