Everyone rushed to the yard and lit more than ten lanterns, which illuminated the yard. Chen Dongjia was carried into the yard by two soldiers carrying his arms. Welcome to reading
Su Jin ordered: "Lift dozens of flatbed carts out and remove the wheels."
Everyone was busy at the parking lot on one side of the compound, carrying more than 20 large trucks and placing them on the open space.
Su Jin pointed to the smooth and spotless carriages and said, "Dr. Chen, you have to watch carefully. You just said that I framed you. Look carefully. Are there any grains that I deliberately spilled on these carriages?
"
Chen Dongjia muttered: "So what?"
Su Jin said: "Look carefully." He turned around and ordered to everyone: "Turn over all the boards of the car and put them on the ground, and hit them one by one with a wooden hammer. Don't break them. Chen Dadong's family in the province said that we destroyed people's property.
But it can’t be too light.”
Everyone complied one by one and turned the carriage over and buckled it to the ground. Mahan of the Dynasty held a wooden hammer, spat, raised the hammer and smashed it against the carriage, causing a noise among the people nearby.
They all lit up lights and pushed open windows, not knowing what was going on.
Li Chong asked in a low voice: "Brother Su, what are you doing?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "We can't torture people, we can only attack these carts. Maybe the carts will confess something."
Li Zhong rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "I don't know what the hell they are doing. They are torturing the cart. Can the cart speak?"
After more than a dozen hammers went down, Su Jin raised his hand to stop, and ordered someone to lift the carriage to the side. He took a lantern with one hand, and held Dong Chen's sleeve with the other hand and said, "Dong Chen, come and see what this is?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Su Jin's finger and saw rice grains scattered everywhere on the ground. Although the number was not large, they were clearly visible.
Su Jin smiled and said: "What else do you have to say? I have to admit that you have covered it up very well, but there are still flaws. You said that your big car has been out of business for a long time, but there is a little dust on the car.
That's all. It has obviously been cleaned recently. Of course, the absence of dust on the car is not much evidence, but the purpose of your cleaning is not to remove dust, but to remove the grain particles scattered on the car when hauling grain, so as not to leave any flaws. I
Is that right?"
Chen Dongjia's face turned pale and he said nothing.
"You know how to cover up traces, but the work is not detailed enough, or you simply didn't expect that the frame of the car is made of wooden boards. Naturally, such a heavy and heavy car only wants to be practical and sturdy, not exquisite, so the mortise and tenon joints are
It is not like the tight joints of tables, chairs and furniture. As long as there are gaps, grains may fall into them. It cannot be swept away with a sweep. You must turn them upside down and knock them like this.
If you fall down, you will be exposed."
Chen Dongjia was unable to argue and lowered his head in silence.
Su Jin chuckled and said, "I might as well tell you that the food I showed you in the house just now was indeed brought by me."
Everyone was shocked. The envoy actually admitted that he had brought this food as a frame-up, which was simply unbelievable.
"But these grains were picked up on the ground of Lanruo Temple on my way to Tianchang. They come from the same source as the grains in your car. I only brought them here to compare with the grains on the ground to avoid you
They deny that this is old millet, but if you look at it, the grains and color are similar, so it can be basically concluded that they are the same batch of grain."
Li Zhong took the lead in applauding. This is really amazing. If you don't accept it, you can't fly. Su Jin can turn decay into magic. It seems that there is no way out of doubts, but suddenly there is a bright future in another village.
"Come here, take down the owner of Chen Ji Huitong's dealership and take him back to the Yamen to await trial. All other people in the dealership will be left in the dealership. The dealership will be sealed. Anyone who acts without permission will be punished as an accomplice." Li Chong shouted.
The government officials rushed forward like wolves and tigers and locked up Chen Dong's house. The rest of the people went to the house to announce the county magistrate's order. Suddenly there was a lot of excitement, and soon there were cries in the inner hall.
"If one person commits a crime, the whole family will be implicated. It shows that it is illegal to commit crimes." Li Chong sighed.
Su Jin said: "It is better for one family to cry than for hundreds of families to cry. You can be kind but your hands cannot be soft."
Li Zhong nodded in agreement and suddenly asked: "Brother Su, why don't I understand? You were able to conclude in just a few words that there was something wrong with the Huitong dealership based on the investigation report from Wang Dynasty and Mahan. Could it be that you didn't know it beforehand?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "Master Bao said that no matter how big or small, there must be a cause and effect, it is not difficult as long as you know how to identify it."
Li Chong cupped his hands and said, "Brother Su, please clear up the doubts."
Su Jindao: "Zhang Long came back and reported that the Huitong train could not move forward, and more than a dozen craftsmen repaired the frame overnight. Did you hear this?"
Li Zhong said: "Yes, I was there. Repairing the vehicle frame is a normal thing. The large trucks in the car dealership carry a lot of heavy objects, so they will naturally be damaged. Is this also suspicious? Didn't they say that when they reported back?
Are there also damaged cars in the other three courtyards?"
Su Jin said: "It's normal for the car to be damaged, but don't you think the time they repaired it is wrong?"
Li Zhongdao: "What's wrong? Do you need to choose a good time to repair a car?"
Su Jindao: "Of course there is no need for good times and auspicious days, but if you think about it, since there has been no business for several months, what are you doing repairing the car? Now that the New Year is coming, repairs will basically be done after the New Year, and if there is nothing going on, repairs can be done during the day.
Why are you repairing it all night?"
"Why?" Li Zhong scratched his head and asked.
Su Jin ignored him and continued: "The above is just one of the reasons. The second is that you just asked them to ask them for questioning in the afternoon. When you came back, the Chen family car shop repaired the frame. It was obviously a bit unexpected. Maybe Chen Dong's family was in a hurry.
It is not impossible to use a car to do something, transport food or something."
Li Chong was even more confused and asked: "How do you say this?"
Su Jin suddenly looked serious and thought: "Now I want to make a bet with you. The livestock shed in the Chen family car dealership must be fed with fine feed."
"What about fine materials? What about fodder?" Li Zhong was about to cry. He was considered a smart man, but why did he act like an idiot in front of Su Jin, completely unable to keep up with his ideas.
Su Jin shouted: "Where is the livestock shed?"
A dealer's clerk pointed tremblingly at a simple low house in the southwest corner and said, "It's... over there."
Su Jin said: "Let's go and have a look."
Everyone rushed to the barn, and dozens of mules and horses were alarmed, snoring and looking at the influx of uninvited guests.
Su Jin took a lantern and looked into the trough. Sure enough, the trough was filled with cooked bean cakes mixed with fodder concentrate. He stood up and fell into thought.
Everyone saw that Su Jin was so good at everything and couldn't help but admire him, but at the same time they didn't understand what this meant and didn't dare to interrupt Su Jin's train of thought.
Su Jin suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The food should be available."
Li Zhongdao: "Since we already have it, the Chen Dong family must know where the food is hidden."
Su Jin shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. My original guess was that Feng Jingyao secretly assigned a mysterious figure to hire carts and animals to transport grain, and this person only had a simple employment relationship with the car dealer, and he only used carts.
, the manpower is not even from the car dealership; it is impossible for Chen Dongjia to follow the car, how can he know where the food is hidden? After the man is gone, just return the car and pay the fare. Chen Dongjia will not be so boring as to ask the customer for transportation.
What, where does it come from?"
Li Zhong opened his mouth and said: "This... it would be a troublesome situation."
Su Jin said: "But things are different now. The situation has changed. Now it seems that Mr. Chen must know where the food is hidden."
Li Zhong asked shamelessly: "Brother Su said clearly, but I'm so anxious."
Su Jin said: "I was originally dissatisfied with your attempt to scare the snake away, but now it seems that it was a mistake. Think about it, as soon as you asked about it, he immediately came back to repair the frame and feed the livestock with concentrate. What is this?
?”
Li Zhong seemed to have caught something and said hesitantly: "Brother Su is saying that he noticed that we were checking the grain, so he planned to move the grain?"
Su Jin gave a high-five and said: "That's right. Feeding livestock concentrate is a precursor to work. If there is no business on weekdays, who will let the animals eat bean cake residue that these people can't eat? This shows that either this Chen Dongjia
It was the person assigned by Feng Jingyao, or the Chen Dong family disclosed the news to that person, and that person immediately ordered him to quickly prepare to move and hide the grain, so he was in such a hurry to repair the car and feed the livestock. "
Li Chong nodded repeatedly, there was nothing else, and if there was someone else, the Chen Dong family must be very familiar with this person, otherwise how could they trust that person to hand over the frame, livestock and other items.
Li Chong suddenly remembered something and asked: "But Brother Su, I seem to have heard Brother Zhao Hu say when he reported back that the livestock of the Yuantong car experts of the Kong family in Nancheng also eat fine food. What's the explanation for this?
Woolen cloth?"
Su Jin chuckled, pointed to the cars in the yard and said, "Count how many cars there are here."
After everyone made an estimate, someone replied: "Even including the broken down cars, there are only a hundred or so cars."
Su Jin said: "So, where did the Chen family get the two hundred cars they used that night?"
Li Zhong was shocked and said: "You mean... the Kong family car dealer is also involved as an accomplice?"
Su Jinche pondered: "It's not necessarily an accomplice, but there is definitely a connection. Maybe it's just a borrowed car. Needless to say, I ordered someone to take Mr. Kong's family to the Yamen. Let's let the two of them confess to each other and we will understand everything."
