Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

When the pavilion chief gave an order, the county officials present immediately began to investigate the crowd.

When Liu Laosan and the others set the fire, basically everyone was asleep. Except for the guards at the biogas plant and the workers on the night shift, everyone else was sleeping at home.

Therefore, it is also very difficult for the county officials of the county government to review.

The main reason is that there were no witnesses at all at the time, and no useful clues have been found now, so we can only rely on what the leaders of Guizhou said to conduct the investigation.

"Liu Laosan, what were you doing when the digester exploded last night?"

Soon, someone investigated Liu Laosan.

"I usually go to Er Dan's house to play cards at night. When I came back from playing cards last night, I heard the sound of the biogas pool exploding!"

"So you were not at home last night?"

Hearing Liu Laosan's words immediately attracted the attention of these county officials.

Mainly, at this time last night, except for the workers in the biogas plant, everyone else was sleeping, and Liu Laosan was the only one who hadn't slept so far.

"I'm not at home, but Erdan and I are playing cards together, they can testify to me!"

Liu Laosan had already let go at this time. For a person like him who just opened his mouth, it would be easy to tell a lie.

For a while, the county official who asked the question didn't know whether what Liu Laosan said was true or not, so he turned around and called Liu Erdan and others.

"You all played cards together last night?"

"Yes, my lord. We fought until midnight last night. The two of them had just returned. When I was falling asleep, I heard the biogas pool explode."

"Then did you see any suspicious characters on the road?"

"No, the moon was dark and the wind was high at the time. I just wanted to go home and sleep quickly, but I didn't see anything."

Liu Laosan shook his head decisively.

At this time, a villager on the side suddenly snorted and said.

"You sneaky ones, why didn't you play cards early and late, but you went to play cards last night? And when the biogas pool exploded, it was almost dawn. According to your usual habits, shouldn't you have lived in the second Is the egg home? Why did you come back last night?"

Hearing what the villagers said, the county official also discovered the loopholes in the words.

Indeed, everyone in the village knows about Liu Laosan and the others often getting together to play cards.

But Liu Erdan's house and Liu Laosan's house are very far away, and Liu Erdan's house is located in a remote place, so it is not easy to get there even in broad daylight. If it is night, the road should be even more difficult.

According to normal people's thoughts and thinking, it is almost dawn, and after playing cards, he should stay at Liu Erdan's house, and he will not go back until dawn tomorrow.

However, Liu Laosan ran back uncharacteristically last night, which is a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it!

Liu Laosan also said something bad in his heart when he heard the words. They had a guilty conscience last night, thinking that if they got together, it would be more likely to make people suspicious, so they went home separately.

But I didn't expect that because of this incident, it gave others an excuse to be suspicious.

However, Liu Laosan was not so easy to deal with, so he immediately snorted and said.

"Last night, I planned to stay at Er Dan's house, but there was nothing to eat at their house. We were hungry from playing cards, and we were so uncomfortable that we couldn't sleep, so we went home and ate something. Don't believe me You can ask my wife!"

As Liu Laosan spoke, he gave them a wink.

"Yes, I was really hungry last night, otherwise we would have played cards until dawn!"

Of course, Liu Laosan's daughter-in-law would not come to tear down her husband's platform at this time, so she stepped forward to agree.

"Yeah, after he came back last night, he ransacked the box to find food, and I was woken up!"

Hearing this, the county magistrate had nothing to say. Although he was still very suspicious of Liu Laosan, he didn't have enough evidence, and he couldn't arrest people casually.

"Okay, I see, you go back first!"

After the county official waved his hand and said something, he went to ask other people.

But a group of villagers stared at Liu Laosan and the others. They were almost sure that this matter must have something to do with Liu Laosan.

After a day of investigation, everyone in Liujia Village was questioned, but so far, no evidence has been found.

The head of Jingshui Pavilion looked gloomy, but the county magistrate gave him a death order. If the murderer could not be found within two days, he had to resign with the county magistrate.

If the county magistrate resigns, he may not be an official anymore, or he may just be transferred to another place.

But he is a small pavilion chief, if he resigns, he will really have to leave.

"Keep looking for me, don't leave if you can't find evidence, dig three feet and find clues for me!"

The head of Jingshui Tingting was furious, and even led the county officials to search the scene inch by inch.

Needless to say, after searching so carefully, they did find some clues.

"Master Pavilion, look!"

"We found this about ten feet away from the biogas pit that exploded. It's the residue of a rope with the smell of kerosene on it. If I'm not wrong, the murderer should have used this rope to ignite the biogas. of."

"The power and speed of the biogas pit explosion were too fast, and as a result, the rope was blown up before it was completely burned."

……

Looking at the rope residue brought by the pavilion official, the pavilion chief suddenly looked ecstatic. No matter what, they finally found some useful evidence, which is not a breakthrough at all.

"Tell me, how do we use this piece of rope residue to find the murderer?"

The pavilion chief looked at the people around him and asked.

However, after hearing these words, everyone showed contemplative expressions.

The name of the murderer is not written on the residue, so it is really unrealistic to use this to find the murderer.

"My lord, the treasurer of the cooperative firm is here!"

At this moment, a pavilion official came to report to the chief of Jingshui Pavilion.

"The treasurer of the cooperative firm? Invite her to come over!"

Regarding the arrival of Ba Qingdie, the head of the Jingshui Pavilion had no intention of blocking it. After all, the biogas digester that exploded this time belonged to a cooperative firm, which meant that his property was damaged, so he should come to inquire about the situation.

"Minister Ba Qingdie, I have met Master Tingchang!"

Ba Qingdie came over with the maid and saluted the pavilion chief.

"Shopkeeper Ba, you're being polite. It's our negligence in not protecting the property of your cooperative firm. But please rest assured, Shopkeeper Ba. We are currently investigating, and I believe the murderer will be caught soon!"

"May I ask what useful clues Master Pavilion has found now?"
