Shen Liangqiu said: "The secret letter said that Black Tiger Shark was seriously ill, but he deliberately concealed it from the outside world. Not many people under Black Tiger Shark knew that he was sick."
"The people under Black Tiger Shark are all desperadoes. He did not necessarily use gentle methods to recruit the pirates." Qining said softly: "Now that he is sick, he is naturally worried that someone under his command will Take the opportunity to cause trouble and replace it.”
Shen Liangqiu said: "Master Hou, the pirates actually have no faith at all. Their minions are worried that the bandit leader will be unhappy one day and will be killed if they bump into him. The bandit leader is also on strict guard against his subordinates all day long, beware of anyone. Want to replace him." After a pause, he said: "This secret letter also said that in order to prevent someone under his command from causing trouble, Black Tiger Shark is likely to find a secret place to recuperate in secret...!"
"Black Tiger Shark is afraid that his condition will be known, so he has to avoid his subordinates." Qi Ning's eyes were deep and thoughtful: "General Shen, you mean to say that once Black Tiger Shark finds the secret place, Now that we know his whereabouts, we can launch a surprise attack in secret?"
"There are many isolated islands and reefs in the sea. If the black tiger shark finds a place to hide, it can really avoid his gang." Shen Liangqiu said: "Before the black tiger shark leaves, he will definitely make proper arrangements for his subordinates. Even if he leaves for a while, his men will be wary of him and will not dare to act rashly. At that time, if we determine the location of the Black Tiger Shark and there are not many people around him, we don't need to make a big splash to arouse the other party's alert. We can use A small number of elites killed them silently."
Qining thought for a while and said: "This plan is indeed very good, but there are two problems."
"Master Marquis, please enlighten me!"
"First, the Black Tiger Shark is sick and needs to find a secret place to recuperate. This news came from the two spies. Do you know whether the news is true or false?" Qining said solemnly: "Second, since the Black Tiger Shark He is looking for a secret place, so he must not let anyone know where he is going. How can the two spies determine where the Black Tiger Shark will go? The prerequisite for our action plan is to know the whereabouts of the Black Tiger Shark, otherwise It’s all in vain.”
Shen Liangqiu also had a stern expression: "I think so too, so I don't dare to let others know until everything is confirmed. The Marquis is right, we must not act rashly until the whereabouts of the Black Tiger Shark are confirmed."
"Since the secret agent has informed us about this matter, it shouldn't end here." Qi Ning thought for a while and then said: "If there is still information, they should still send it over. When we get enough information that we can use, Then we can identify the truth and falsehood, and it’s still too late to plan actions.”
Shen Liangqiu cupped his hands and said, "I understand. I will secretly make some preparations in the past two days and select a group of elite navy troops to prepare for action, but will not let them notice any other problems. Once action is really needed, We are prepared and will not act hastily."
Qi Ning patted Shen Liangqiu's arm and said: "The Governor committed suicide and passed away. The reasons may not all be the Black Tiger Shark, but the Black Tiger Shark is also an important reason. If it weren't for the East China Sea Navy's attack on the Black Tiger Shark, Although his subordinates have suffered several losses, the Governor may not go down this dead end. If the Black Tiger Shark can be captured before the Governor is buried, this can be regarded as the best explanation for the Governor. He has a spirit under the spring. You can rest in peace."
Shen Liangqiu nodded lightly and said, "As soon as I have any news from this general, I will report it to the Marquis immediately."
"Okay!" Qi Ning smiled slightly and said, "Then I will just wait for the good news."
The two left the coffin room and returned to the front hall. After Qi Ning and Wei Yujiang met, they said goodbye and left the mansion. The two left the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Wu Dalin and others immediately followed. Just like yesterday, Qin Ning rode in front. , Shen Liangqiu was half a body behind.
After returning to the post house, Wei Yujiang did not go back to the house, but followed him to Qining's courtyard. Qining knew that he had something to say. After entering the house, he asked Wei Yujiang to take a seat. Seeing that Wei Yujiang's brows were furrowed, as if he had something on his mind, Qin Ning poured it out himself. After getting a cup of tea and handing it over, Wei Yujiang was flattered and took it with both hands. Qining smiled and said: "Sishen Wei, you have also been to the scene of this case in person. You are an officer of the Ministry of Justice, so you must have your own ideas. Here No one else has discovered anything, but it doesn’t matter.”
Shen Liangqiu put down the tea cup and was about to stand up, but Qin Ning motioned for him to sit down and talk.
"Master Marquis, judging from the two scenes, there is no possibility of homicide." Wei Yujiang spoke very carefully: "So the conclusion of the humble post is the same as that of several other adults. Whether it is the Governor of Tantai or Mrs. Tantai, from the remains Judging from the situation at the scene, it is indeed suicide.”
Qi Ning nodded and said: "There should be no problem with this, especially the Governor. The scene where he committed suicide should be a secret room. We have also seen the environment of the secret room clearly. Unless someone can jump out from the ground, the Governor of Tantai There should be no other doubts about committing suicide by hanging from the beam." Then he laughed and said: "Even if it really emerged from the ground, it should have left traces, but there were no such traces at the scene."
"Master Marquis, I have been thinking about what happened in the Governor's Mansion last night, and two subordinates are a little confused." Wei Yujiang looked serious.
Qi Ning stood up and walked to the chair next to Wei Yujiang and sat down. Wei Yujiang was about to stand up again. Qin Ning pressed his hands and then asked: "Which two places?"
"The first is the motive for suicide." Wei Yujiang said seriously: "Master Hou, whether it is suicide or murder, there must be a motive. Mrs. Tantai's motive is because of her deep love with the governor and his wife. After the governor passed away, she wanted to be with him. There is no big doubt that the governor will live and die together. The question lies with the governor. In fact, we have been repeating that the governor is a battle-hardened general and commands tens of thousands of naval troops. Such a figure The perseverance of his mind is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Not only does he bear the heavy responsibility of commanding tens of thousands of navy troops, but he also carries the future of the Tantai family. It is hard to believe that such a person would suffer some setbacks or even be killed for a moment. If you are humiliated, you will leave everything behind and seek your own death."
Qi Ning sighed: "Actually, not only you and I, but also the Old Marquis of Tantai don't believe what you said. After learning about the suicide of the Governor of Tantai, the old Marquis of Tantai didn't believe it at all. This is a fact."
"Yes, the old Marquis is such a person, and the Governor of Tantai is his son. His judgment is definitely not based on emotion." Wei Yujiang said: "So the humble position does not accept that the Governor committed suicide because of Black Tiger Shark. He There must be other reasons behind committing suicide, and this reason must have forced him to embark on this desperate path."
"What you said makes sense." Qi Ning pushed the teacup towards Wei Yujiang, gesturing for Wei Yujiang to drink tea. Wei Yujiang saw that Qining had no airs about him, and felt even more admiration in his heart. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down carefully. .
"There is one more question, which one is it?" Qi Ning asked after seeing Wei Yujiang put down his tea cup.
Wei Yujiang immediately said: "Be buried!"
"Encoffined?"
"Exactly." Wei Yujiang said in a low voice: "Master Marquis, don't you think it's a little too hasty for the Governor and Mrs. Tantai to be encoffined so quickly? We have only been here for two days, but they have been encoffined today...!"
"You have also heard General Shen's explanation." Qi Ning said softly: "If the body of the Grand Governor is not buried, it will be damaged. In order to protect the body of the Grand Governor, it can only be buried."
"It's easy to explain that the Governor is going to be laid to rest, but why Mrs. Tantai was laid to rest so quickly is hard to explain." Wei Yujiang said sternly: "Mrs. Tantai just passed away yesterday morning and was laid to rest last night. Lord Marquis, this is But it’s really too strange.”
Qi Ning's eyes twitched slightly, but his expression was calm and he said with a smile: "The purpose of Mrs. Tantai's suicide was to live and die with the Governor, and her last words also stated that she would be buried at sea with the Governor. General Shen also wanted to complete her death. Their wish. And they had seen the days. If they were not buried yesterday, they would have to wait for more than ten days. Mrs. Tantai was very beautiful. She had to dress up carefully before she died. This shows that she cares about her appearance very much. If she was not buried for another ten days, she would have to wait for more than ten days. The body is damaged, Mrs. Tantai knows it well, I'm afraid she will have regrets."
"Mr. Marquis, this reason seems to make sense, but I always feel a bit reluctant in my humble position." Wei Yujiang said: "Even if we live and die together, we can be buried together in the end. Why do we need to be encoffined at the same time? Mrs. Tantai's death, although it cannot be publicized to the outside world. , but her family should always be told, and her family should be allowed to see her for the last time before she was buried...!" He frowned, but his brows were full of doubts.
Qi Ning came slightly closer and lowered his voice: "Wei Sishen, do you think the death of the Grand Governor is related to Shen Liangqiu?"
"Shen Liangqiu rushed back to the city overnight after the Governor committed suicide, so the death of the Governor will not be directly related to Shen Liangqiu." Wei Yujiang also whispered: "But I have always felt that in the Great Governor, Shen Liangqiu may have hidden something about the governor's suicide."
"Do you think he's hiding something?"
"I don't know if I'm in a humble position." Wei Yujiang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I've handled many cases in my humble position, but I've never seen a single case like this. It doesn't suit my circumstances, but the facts are true. I can't find anything really wrong with my position. .”
Qi Ning smiled slightly and said: "You have been handling cases all year round and you have carefully considered everything. This is naturally not a bad thing. Maybe this case is like this, but it is not a bad thing to think about it more. We can't leave the East China Sea for a while. You can think about it these days and think about anything wrong. If you really think of something, you can report it to me at any time." He whispered: "But please don't say these words to others, especially Shen Liangqiu. You can think about it for yourself, but don’t wrongly accuse a good person without evidence.”
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. I'm just confused in my heart, and I know not to talk nonsense to others, so I said this to Lord Marquis in private." Wei Yujiang said: "Out of this door, I will not say a word more."
