Detective in the Red Chamber

Unexpectedly, when he got to the main room, when Wang Erhu saw these two people, he turned around and got into the inner room like a mouse seeing a cat, and wanted to jump out of the window, and then climbed over the wall and left.

But as soon as he opened the window, one of the guests rushed up, grabbed the back of his neck, and pulled Wang Erhu back like a chicken.

Hearing this, Chen Jingde subconsciously wanted to ask a question, but was stopped by Sun Shaozong, who motioned Liu to finish speaking.

However, Liu Shi didn't know much about what happened in the room after that. She was taken into custody by another person in the kitchen and molested by a man.

Later, when she was brought into the main room again, Wang Erhu's fat body was already hung on the beam, and a square stool was still lying on the ground.

And then, the two of them sang bad face and red face one, threatening her and falsely claiming that Wang Erhu hanged himself.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but say: "At that time, the women also thought about it, first pretending to promise them, and reporting to the officials as soon as they left, but who would have thought that before they left, they would tell the young woman People, my son my son has been taken away by their accomplices!"

"I hurried out to look for it, but I saw my two-and-a-half-year-old girl waiting in the back street, saying that my brother had left with the sugar maker and would come back with maltose in a while."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help sobbing again.

"Don't be so busy crying."

Sun Shaozong winked, and Huang Bin handed over a towel in a timely manner.

After the woman wiped her face indiscriminately, Sun Shaozong continued to ask: "If you really want to save your son, then carefully explain the appearance and behavior of those two villains!"

After a pause, he added another sentence: "From your account, then Wang Erhu should know them. Don't you have any impression of them before?"

It is basically certain that Wang Erhu knew the two of them. He even guessed the purpose of their visit, otherwise he would not have wanted to run away as soon as they met.

Mrs. Liu was taken aback when she heard the words, and then her face showed a look of surprise, but when everyone was waiting, she said with a bitter face: "Listen to what your lord said, my thief really recognizes them! But the civilian woman I have never heard of it before, and he knows such a terrible strongman!"

Sun Shaozong was a little disappointed, but since the two parties knew each other, they should have left some clues. In the future, sending people to continue the investigation along this line may yield some gains.

As for the present, naturally, we can only press the matter first and ask about the appearance and behavior of the two of them.

"Of those two people, one is burly and the other is thin; the burly one has a Chinese-character face, and the thin one has a long face."

"The thin one seems to be the leader, but it was the burly one who killed my two tigers."

"Be more careful! The thin one has a short beard, and the tall one only has a mustache under his nose."

"Also, that skinny man has a scar on his left arm, about two or three inches above his wrist!"

"Skin? It seems to be quite dark, but it doesn't look like it's tanned. I guess it's already dark."

"That's right, that skinny guy has calluses on his mouth, just like our two tigers!"

"Smell? It doesn't smell much, unlike my Erhu, who is always covered in oily smoke."

"Judging from the accent, he should be from the capital."

"I'm not sure about the material of the clothes. It's not as glamorous as the rich, but it's not an ordinary material."

"They don't seem to be wearing anything, neither sachets nor jade pendants"

Sun Shaozong went into every detail, carefully cross-examined for a long time, and confirmed that Mrs. Liu really couldn't think of anything new, so he finally gave up.

"grown ups!"

Seeing that the matter came to an end, Chen Jingde immediately went out to ask for instructions: "Do you think you want to make a list of these two villains according to the woman's description?"

Sun Shaozong glanced at him, and asked angrily: "Are you trying to force those villains to tear up their tickets?"

"I dare not to be humble!"

Chen Jingde shrunk his neck, but couldn't help but slander him, he was just a brat of a lowly family, he died as soon as he died, how could it be important to find out the big case of the Ministry of Household Affairs?

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and let the Liu family retreat for the time being, and then confessed: "Huang Bin, later, you can bring a few smart people to escort Liu back to her natal home secretly, and see if anyone is following along the way. Nothing will happen, and no one will notice your existence!"

Since Liu's son was used to threaten her as an accomplice, it stands to reason that he would always pay attention to her situation.

Of course, the opponent may not necessarily use the method of stalking, or the opponent's actions are so clever that it is difficult to detect.

That's why Sun Shaozong confessed to Huang Bin that he would rather do nothing than make mistakes.

As for rejecting Liu Shi in advance, she was afraid that she would hear someone following her behind, and she would appear abnormal in looking forward and backward.

If Huang Bin can follow the clues, it would be best to find those two thieves.

But if they can't find out, at least they won't irritate the other party to tear up the ticket directly.

However, this is just doing one's best and obeying the destiny. Whether the child can survive in the end may depend on whether the two thieves have good conscience.

"in addition."

Sun Shaozong turned his head back, and ordered Chen Jingde again: "Those little officials you have been investigating before, give me a new screening."

"My lord means"

Chen Jingde rolled his eyes, and then said happily: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as those two thieves lurk in it, I will definitely arrest them and bring them to justice!"

"No!"

Seeing that the fellow made a mistake, Sun Shaozong hurriedly explained: "You just need to do the same as before, don't deliberately search for those two thieves."

Those two thieves didn't cover up when they killed Wang Erhu, and they kept Mrs. Liu alive, which shows that they are not within the scope of the government's screening right now, otherwise how dare they act so recklessly?

So Sun Shaozong asked Chen Jingde to continue the screening, but he used him as a cover to numb the other party.

What really mattered was, first, Huang Bian's side, to see if anyone was following Liu;

Chapter 741

After this trip, there has been quite a bit of progress.

However, whether there will be more discoveries in the follow-up, it is still unclear at the moment, and the only way to do that is to wait for the people below to work hard.

Considering that there might not be any breakthrough in a short period of time, Sun Shaozong was thinking about whether to settle Wei Ruolan's case on the way back to Dali Temple.

Otherwise, if the long-legged concubine couldn't wait any longer, and mistakenly thought that she had eaten everything and refused to admit it, and then the fish died and the net was broken, wouldn't it be extreme joy and sorrow?

tsk~

Back then, I really shouldn't have been obsessed with ghosts and fell into this evil.

But if he could bear it, why would Sun Shaozong's family hoard so many women?

Or it is difficult to be a clean official.

There are too many temptations in this world, and there is no one in a million who can be as upright as Hai Rui - at least Sun Shaozong himself will never be able to be impartial.

Even since transmigrating, this willpower has become weaker and weaker. The top can't control the mouth, and the bottom can't control the 'legs'. It is really ashamed of the education of our party for many years...

"Second Master."

Zhang Cheng, who was habitually letting go of his thoughts, suddenly drove the car ahead, and suddenly reported under his voice: "The person in front seems to be the thief from Tongdetang!"

A thief from Tongde Hall?

Where is it?

and many more!

Could it be...

Sun Shaozong was a little baffled at first, and then suddenly realized that when Xia Jingui set up the Immortal Dance, didn't he lie about what it was "Li Jinzhi, the eldest lady of Tongdetang"?

And this so-called thief from Tongde Hall is most likely the soldier who married Princess Beijing.

This guy appeared near Dali Temple, did he really make himself right, the long-legged princess couldn't wait any longer?

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked: "Where is the person? Left or right?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say 'left', Sun Shaozong hastily raised the curtain to look back - just now he was in front, but while speaking, the carriage ran dozens of steps away, naturally he left the Chinese character behind.

as predicted!

Looking over at this moment, I saw that the Chinese character that had deceived me at the beginning also stretched its neck to look this way with a loyal face.

And he was at the flower shop where Xia Jingui was yesterday.

Before he could take a closer look, the carriage had already reached the intersection. Zhang Cheng slowed down and asked softly, "Second Master, do you want to turn back?"

"No need, go back to the yamen and deal with the business properly."

Only then did Zhang Cheng steer the carriage, and it slowly stopped outside the east corner gate of Dali Temple.

"Master Shaoqing!"

As soon as Sun Shaozong got off the carriage, he saw a judge from the temple come out to welcome him, he cupped his hands and said, "I have been ordered to wait here for a long time."

As soon as Sun Shaozong heard the word "following orders", he immediately thought of Wei Yi's head--the case of Daoyan's master and apprentice, which he refused to get involved in the slightest; he was concerned about the case of the Ministry of Households!

I'm afraid this whole thought has already got into the eyes of money, right?

Sun Shaozong slandered inwardly, but since Wei Yi wanted to hear the progress of the case, he had to go there to meet him—especially when he went out this time, he did find out some clues, and he had nothing to say.

So he followed the commentator to the vicinity of the flower hall where the morning meeting is usually held.

Wei Yi had been waiting inside for a long time, and when he heard someone report that Sun Shaozong had finally arrived, he didn't care about the usual quarrel between the two of them, so he came out to greet him directly.

"Sun Shaoqing!"

Then he asked with burning eyes: "In the case of Lu Gejian, have you found any clues?"

"Fortunately not humiliated."

Sun Shaozong cupped his hands slightly: "Although the real culprit has not been identified, there is finally some progress."

After hearing this, Wei Yi became more eager to hear the details, but Sun Shaozong stopped talking on his own.

Wei Yi opened his mouth to urge him, but suddenly he came to his senses, and hurriedly moved his hand in, and invited Sun Shaozong into the flower hall.

The two sat down as guests and hosts, and Wei Yi graciously filled up the tea. Only then did Sun Shaozong explain the clues he found today in detail.

And Wei Yi heard that he already knew the looks of the two thieves, and also knew that one of the thieves had a scar on his arm, so he couldn't help but get excited.

I heard him say decisively: "Sun Shaoqing, this matter cannot be delayed. In my opinion, it is better to issue arrest documents at sea and make arrests in various parts of the capital, so that these two culprits can be quickly arrested and brought to justice!"

This guy obviously thought the same as Chen Jingde, thinking that the youngest son of a commoner's family is not as important as the big case of the Ministry of Household Affairs?

It's just that in front of him, Sun Shaozong is not easy to talk about hostages. After all, although people's lives are often said to be at stake these days, in many cases, the lives of ordinary people are as humble as worthless.

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "If it is a normal day, it would be okay—but now the situation of the Criminal Department of Shuntian Mansion is in, adults should know it?

"As for Daxing County, there are no officials in charge of investigating the case, and Wanping County simply lacks the backbone of the magistrate. If you want to rely on the local government to find out the whereabouts of the two thieves, I'm afraid..."

At this point, Sun Shaozong paused for a moment, and when Wei Yi frowned unconsciously, he continued: "Rather than startling the snake like this, it is better to conduct a secret investigation first—I have already ordered people from outside to enter and loosely guard inside. If you can't find out what's going on in the end, it's not too late to make a list and arrest him."

Wei Yi listened to Sun Shaozong's rationality, and knew that he was far inferior to him in this respect, so he stopped thinking about arresting him, and just told Sun Shaozong to solve the case as soon as possible, lest those lawless profiteers cause trouble on the eve of the Longevity Festival .

hehe~

How many suppliers of this Dali Temple were not signed after Wei Yi took office?

At the beginning, he took advantage, but now he is full of profiteers...

He bid farewell to Wei Yi with disdain, and came out of the flower hall. Sun Shaozong originally wanted to send someone to investigate Wang Erhu's interpersonal relationship before his death, to see if he could screen out those two villains.

But after thinking about it, I'm afraid it's not safe enough to hand it over to anyone.

Just like Huang Bin's pursuit and stalking, this matter can only be done quietly, otherwise, once the two murderers are alerted, it will be fine to startle the snake. Threats to the safety of the hostages are the most troublesome.

Could it be...

Are you going to ask for foreign aid again?

But this always links with outsiders, and it is easy to attract criticism, and it is not conducive to Sun Shaozong's taking root in Dali Temple.

Therefore, if it is possible to screen internally, it is best to select from within Dali Temple first.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Shaozong finally thought of someone—Wang Biao, the warden of the Jiupin Division.

After contacting this person a few times, he is quite shrewd and able to grasp his senses, but I don't know if he has any experience in criminal investigation.

perhaps……

Can you give him a pre-employment assessment first?

But this assessment must be postponed, at least until after dealing with Xia Jingui and the long-legged princess, before he can calm down and take the examination of Wang Biao.

After making up his mind, Sun Shaozong went back to the Zuo Temple official office first, took some things he had prepared earlier, and then hurried out of the yamen.
