The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 929: asymptotically

Views:

I thought that Wei Yi would definitely delay for a while, but he couldn't resist, so he would formally deal with the two Jurchens.

But just after noon, Sun Shaozong, who was investigating the case in the Lin Mansion, received a letter from Qin Kejian: The verdict of the two Jurchens has been decided.

A Lin Qitu, who was jealous and fought with others, because of his good attitude of confession and the unanimous forgiveness of several plaintiffs, was given a light sentence, only 40 yuan in prison and 100 taels of silver.

But there was never any mention of it, Alin Qitu resisted arrest and injured the officials.

In front of the Dali Temple, Sabuhua drew a knife in anger, intending to threaten the important officials of the court. Due to the serious circumstances and bad influence, he was sentenced to 100 prisoners and exiled to the Yungui Army as a slave to set an example.

It has to be said that although Wei Yi has always been a corpse meal in Dali Temple, he still has some talent at the bottom.

In this way, he avoided the false and made the real, grasping the big and letting go of the small. First, he deliberately weakened the accusation of the Jurchen deputy envoy Alin Qitu, and then heavily sentenced the low-ranking mission guard.

At least on the bright side, there is no favoritism, and no contempt for the Jurchen.

And the Jurchen also knew that the imperial court was planning to adopt the policy of empathy. At this juncture, it was impossible for him to fall out with Da Zhou because of a mere guard.

So next, as long as you carefully control the direction of public opinion and prevent the public from noticing the identities of the two Jurchens and the meaning behind them, this level will be over.

Speaking of...

Do you want to secretly make a stumbling block for Wei Yi

Sun Shaozong thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up this tempting idea.

Even if he can bring down Wei Yi at the moment, this Tingwei's position will not fall on his head.

Not to mention winning or losing, it is inevitable to leave an impression of being unruly in the official circles - this kind of thing that is only for a momentary battle of wills, hurting others and not oneself, Sun Shaozong is determined not to do it.

Less gossip.

But he said that since the Jurchen turmoil was temporarily over, Sun Shaozong had no other thoughts and devoted himself to the investigation of Lin Qisheng's case.

Because yesterday's search for the secret passage was fruitless, today's apparent investigation direction is to dig deep into the alibi of the man in the forest house.

It doesn't mean that women can't pretend to be Lin Qisheng, but the technical content required is too high and the probability is too low, so it is better to check with the men first.

Of course, the investigation of the old servants of the Lin Mansion is also progressing steadily at the same time.

Under the temptation of yellow and white things, by the afternoon of the 21st, most of the old servants of the Lin Mansion in and outside the city had come to worship.

Most of the remaining few live outside the city, and the news is blocked when they are far away.

However, there are also a few people in the city who have never shown up for various reasons - and these people are the key targets of Tang Weishan's investigation.

"grown ups."

But he said that in the evening, Tang Weishan, who had been riding a bumpy car all day, reported with a tired face: "There are eight old servants in the city who have not returned to the Lin Mansion so far, two of them caught the wind and cold, and it is difficult to make the trip; The news is closed, and I have never heard of it; one person was taken as a concubine by a wealthy household in the city, and it is inconvenient to go out; the other two have found errands in other places and are no longer in the capital."

After he finished speaking, Huang Bin added: "We deliberately asked a few doctors to go with us to confirm that the two infected people did not lie."

"As for those who are blocked, Master Tang has also arranged manpower to monitor them day and night."

"Now there are only those two people who went to other places to make a living. Because the news was temporarily interrupted, it is really difficult to trace."

"Is it difficult to trace?"

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Don't these two people have relatives or friends in the capital?"

Huang Bin shook his head with a wry smile: "One is an orphan; the other has a brother and sister-in-law in Beijing, but he relied on the power of the Lin family to forcefully seize most of the family's property, and has long since cut off contact with his brother and sister-in-law."

"Then what did they do when they were in the Lin Mansion?"

"It's a coincidence, these two are still servants beside Lin Zongxian."

The servant next to Lin Qisheng

"When did you all leave Beijing?"

"One was ten days ago and one was seven days ago."

According to the autopsy results, Lin Qisheng was murdered seven to five days ago. If the two men pretended to leave Beijing, but were actually lurking secretly, waiting for an opportunity to assist the murderer in committing the crime, the timing would be right.

"Continue to track down these two people."

Sun Shaozong immediately ordered: "Even if you don't know where they went, at least let me find out what they did after they left the Lin Mansion!"

Tang Weishan complained secretly, but he could only bow to take orders with Huang Bin.

Next, it was Yang Zhiming, the chief of the temple, who had a report on the investigation of the men of the Lin Mansion.

He also spent a lot of effort, but unfortunately most people lack circumstantial evidence. This is all mud and sand. If you want to dig into the details and expose the suspect, I am afraid that you will need to continue to work hard.

Finally, Chen Jingde, who is still lackluster...

At the end of the day's investigation and summary, Sun Shaozong carefully reviewed the written report submitted. Seeing that there was not much useful information, he was ready to leave for his residence.

But before he left, he felt that it was necessary to go to the mourning hall for a while - he was not sure, and he would be able to dig out some clues from Shen Peilan.

same with yesterday.

Outside the door of the mourning hall, the more I looked, the more I felt that Shen Peilan's deep sadness seemed out of place in a female family.

Does she...

"grown ups!"

Just as he was about to start thinking, he suddenly heard someone shouting excitedly behind him: "The Liu Er, who was an orphan, once stayed in the troupe for a few years, and when he followed the troupe to the Lin Mansion to celebrate his birthday, he was attracted by Lin Zongxian. , and then transferred to the Lin family to be a servant!"

Been in a theater

Sun Shaozong suddenly felt his eyes light up.

Most of today's actors are used to dressing up by themselves. Even if it's inconvenient, at most they help their peers, so make-up skills can be said to be one of the homework that must be learned.

Even if those who are rich in color are not called disguising techniques, they are far more proficient than those who have no foundation at all.

and…

Using false voice to change voice is also the basic skill of Liyuanxing.

Since Liu'er is waiting by Lin Qisheng's side, learning to speak in his tone, I'm afraid it's not a difficult task - anyway, with Lin Qisheng's prestige and the two years of rebellious behavior, everyone is trembling in front of him. , how can we care to distinguish

"Check! Keep checking!"

Sun Shaozong categorically ordered: "Investigate thoroughly overnight, whether it is dead or alive, find him for me!"

With this order, most of the manpower of the 'task force' was concentrated on the investigation of the little servant Liu'er.

As time passed, various information about these six children gradually surfaced:

This Liu'er was originally a prudent man in his words and deeds, and among the many servants in the Lin Mansion, he was also known for his steadiness - but after leaving the Lin Mansion, he wandered the streets almost every day, spending lavishly and wildly.

Seven days ago, he had visited the Lin Mansion and said goodbye to a few acquaintances one by one before leaving the Lin Mansion. A distant look.

The small courtyard where Liu'er rented is now locked and the house is very neatly tidy up - but according to the landlord, when he lived in it, he was drunk all day long and never tidy up the house at all.

The most important thing is that he didn't quit the lease before he left!

This one by one, all magnified the suspicion of Liu'er.

However, the investigation continued until the next morning, but no one knew where the six children went.

Or maybe...

He didn't actually go anywhere!

Thinking like this, what came to Sun Shaozong's mind was Shen Peilan's inappropriate sadness.
