This case of arson in Changxingfang, which was so involved that it took him a lot of hard work and effort to finally get some clues, was actually concluded so quickly. This made Sun Tu unable to recover for a long time. Come, my heart is full of doubts.
It's not that he couldn't accept such a result because he was afraid of being robbed of his credit, but it was because the development of this case was too fast and too smooth.
The trial of Han Changzhou in the court just now went surprisingly smoothly. Not only did it sound reasonable and reasonable, but the principal criminal and accomplices were also extremely cooperative, acting as if there was already a script. What's more important is that everything they said was the clues that Sun Tu had grasped before, no more and no less. Just as he got to Xu Tieying's place, he had shouldered all the charges, and it seemed that there were no problems or problems. flaw.
But because of this, Sun Tu felt that the trial of this case was too weird, as if someone was behind everything and prevented the arson case from being further investigated until now. But after all, this was just a doubt in his mind, and he couldn't produce any evidence to refute it. This feeling was too uncomfortable, like a bone in his throat, and it made Sun Tu feel depressed.
But no one in the hall cared about his thoughts. At this time, the officers had already escorted the relevant prisoners to the prison, and everyone else dispersed. Even Han Changzhou had a relaxed smile and walked steadily. After walking out of the lobby, I wanted to go back to my office to rest for a while.
At this time, Sun Tu suddenly took a step forward and blocked his way: "Fu Yin, I have something unclear, please give me some advice."
"Huh?" The smile on Han Fuyin's face suddenly faded. After looking at him carefully for a few times, he recognized him: "Are you Sun Tu and Sun Dutou? Do you have any questions?"
In fact, even Sun Tu himself could not find any issues related to the case at this time. At this time, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Fu Yin, I think it is too hasty to rush to conclude the case? Is it too hasty? I have been investigating this case before, and I always felt that there was something hidden in it... "
"Sun Dutou, are you questioning me?" Han Changzhou's face suddenly sank, and he interrupted his words unhappily. This made Sun Tu's heart tremble, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I don't dare, I just feel that there may be another conspiracy in this case, so..."
"Sun Dutou, I know that this case was investigated by you before, so you feel very unhappy when you see someone arresting the murderer before you did, but you didn't expect you to say such words." Han Changzhou snorted. He said loudly: "This Changxingfang arson case was just a disaster caused by revenge. How could there be any conspiracy theory? And although all the physical evidence was destroyed by the fire, there are still many witnesses. Their testimonies, as well as the confessions of several prisoners just now, have explained everything, what else do you have to worry about?"
Sun Tu's mind was spinning rapidly, wondering if there was anything missing in this case, and suddenly he had an idea: "Before, Huang Qi and the other two refused to admit that they were responsible for setting the fire, and they also mentioned that Fang Boguang was inducing them behind the scenes. He went to Zhang Laosi’s house to set fire. But as a result, he was not seen in the hall today, and Fang Boyan, as his brother, was involved in the case, and even arrested the wanted criminal Xu Tieying, which is really suspicious. "
"So you are suspicious of Fang Boguang, then just follow me." Han Fuyin said, turned around and walked out. Sun Tu felt a little strange, but he still followed. Soon, the two came to a secluded corner, where there was a small house and two guards were guarding the outside.
Seeing Fu Yin's sudden arrival, two officers hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Han Changzhou only waved his hand and asked them to open the door and let them in. Then Sun Tu saw a corpse lying straight on the door panel in the middle of the room. This made his heart tighten, and he had already guessed the identity of the other person.
As a police officer helped lift the white cloth covering the body, the appearance of the body was also revealed. Although Sun Tu had never met Fang Boguang, he could already guess the identity of the corpse just by looking at his similar appearance and age to Fang Boyan: "Why did Fang Boguang die?"
"He committed suicide out of fear of his crime, and he also left a surviving family member to explain the crimes he committed. The suicide note said that he was forced by Xu Tieying to light the fire with the help of Huang Qi and the others. It was only later that he was frightened and feared that Kaifeng Mansion would find out the case, so he committed suicide by hanging himself. It was precisely because Fang Boyan saw this bereaved family that he reported it to the government, and we sent The main criminal Xu Tieying was captured and brought to justice." Han Changzhou explained casually.
Sun Tu was shocked again, why did things become like this? Fang Boguang, who was originally very suspicious, actually died, and his death actually made things more logical. Not to mention Fang Boyan, even Xu Tieying's exposure was logical.
No, there was still a bit of a contradiction. Sun Tu suddenly thought of what Xu Tieying had confessed during the court trial just now, saying that he had heard that Huang Qi and the others had the intention of arson and then pushed him to commit the major crime. Why did he change his mind here
However, Han Changzhou continued as if he could read his mind: "I know what you are worried about. It's actually very simple. This matter involves members of my Kaifeng Mansion. I don't want to cause more trouble. What's more, Fang Boguang has died to atone for his sins, and he He was forced to this point, and he didn't commit the crime himself, so he was not involved. However, when the time comes, I will severely punish the Fang family and others with other crimes, and all their property will be confiscated to help the Changxingfang disaster. People rebuild their homes.”
People made these words clear, which really made Sun Tu a little confused as to how to speak. Although he couldn't agree with this method of bullying and hiding in official circles, he couldn't directly oppose it. After all, it was related to the reputation of the entire Kaifeng Mansion Yamen, and since the deceased was already dead, it was really difficult to pursue more investigations.
After a long silence, Sun Tucai thought of something else: "What about the murder case of Qi Xuanhe?"
"That was what Xu Tieying ordered people to do the night before. He had already explained the matter before. As for the reason..." Han Fuyin gave Sun Tu a meaningful look as he said this, obviously indicating that it was because of him.
Sun Tu could not come up with any other doubts, so he could only sigh: "So, this case was done by Xu Tieying and the others, and it has nothing to do with others?"
"Do you think there is anyone else who would be so insane and crazy? I said this is Bianliang, Tokyo. Under the royal chariot, not to mention major arson cases, even ordinary murder cases are rare. Okay. Thank you for the hard work of you and those below. I have already heard from Xue Tongxuan that although you failed to really catch the murderer in this case, your credit is not small. I will report the truth to the court. Don't do it because of it. Too much trouble." In the end, Han Fuyin comforted Sun Tu thoughtfully.
But Sun Tu didn't feel happy at all after hearing this. Why did the other party still insist that he raised the doubt because he wanted to take the credit
With a depressed mood, Sun Tu returned to his signing room. Even at this time, he still felt that there should be deeper issues in the case that had not been discovered, but Fu Yin had already tried the case quite completely, and there was no hidden secret, and the previous explanation did make sense. .
"No..." Sun Tu's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a question that he had ignored: "Why is Han Fuyin's attitude like this? Logically speaking, all my subordinates expressed doubts that he should be disdainful as a Fuyin. He was right, so why bother to explain it to me patiently, and even went to see Fang Boguang’s body with me? Everything he did seemed to be intentional, just to reassure me and make me no longer He was entangled in this case, but why did he have to do this
"Is it because I'm worried about Tong Guan behind me? But that's not right. The case has been solved so successfully, how could it happen again? Even Tong Guan can't embarrass the Kaifeng Mansion just because of my slight doubts. He even got into trouble with the judicial offices of the entire Song Dynasty. So why did he do this? What else is hidden behind this case..." The more Sun Tu thought about it, the more he felt that the case was very strange.
This case not only made Fang Boguang, a respectable man like him, commit suicide, but also made the Shunshui Gang make such concessions. Gang leader Yan Miao personally came forward to take down Xu Tieying. This would greatly damage the reputation of the gang and even affect the following. Brother, you are faithful. What are these people hiding? Are they doing all this to protect someone
