I'm on duty in Yinshi

Chapter 322 Investigation
On the road.

Li Kui asked casually, "How old are you?"

Yuan Bin replied: "Returning to Deputy Qianhu, I just had the crowning ceremony the year before last."

"Oh."

Li Kui elongated his tone slightly.

Guan Li, who is 20 years old, is really young.

at this time.

"My lord, can I ask what crime Lu Xingzhi committed, and why the whole family was arrested by Beizhen Fusi?"

"Kai Luban, you know too much about some things, it's not good!"

Urgent conversations fell silent.

Hearing Lu Xingzhi's name, Li Kui turned his head to look.

A man in his early twenties, dressed in official robes, was talking with a Jin Yiwei.

"My lord, that man's name is Kuai Xiang. He is in charge of the design and construction of Chengtian Gate. It was just completed a few days ago. All civil and military officials, including the Holy One, were very satisfied when they saw it. They even called him Kuai Luban!"

Yuan Bin said softly: "Kui Xiang and Lu Xingzhi are good friends."

"It can be seen that they are friends."

Li Kui couldn't help laughing.

Where is Beizhen Fusi? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Longtan and Tiger's Den. Kuai Xiang knew that Lu Xingzhi was arrested here, and dared to come to visit. This relationship is really strong enough!

Immediately, Li Kui tapped the handle of the knife with his index finger, thought for a while, and ordered: "Call him over."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Yuan Bin walked over with Kuai Xiang.

"I've seen Deputy Li Qianhu."

Kuai Xiang bowed his hands and saluted.

"Let's go." Li Kui nodded slightly, and continued to walk in the direction of Zhao Prison.

Kuai Xiang was a little dazed, quickly raised his official sleeves, and ran to Li Kui, "Where is Deputy Qianhu taking me?"

"Imperial prison." Li Kui's tone was flat: "Don't you want to see Lu Xingzhi?"

Kuai Xiang showed joy, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord!"

then.

The three of them came to the gate of the imperial prison and looked up.

Two heavily armed jailers with rifles stood on either side of the door.The dark prison looks like the big mouth of a beast, which makes one's heart tremble with fear and chills down the spine.

At this time, Kuai Xiang suddenly remembered all kinds of horrible rumors about the prison, and couldn't help swallowing with difficulty.

Afraid of returning home, but he still followed closely behind Li Kui and Yuan Bin.

"I've seen Deputy Qianhu."

Li Kui took out his own seal, signed the book, and the name of the person to be interrogated.

Immediately, the three of them walked into the prison!
"Tread, step, step..."

In the dim corridor, the lamp oil on the wall is flickering, the light is blurred, and only the sound of own footsteps can be heard quietly.

Walk 20 meters, and cells appear on both sides.Dressed in a white prison uniform, with long hair covering his face, his bare arms covered with scars, he curled up in a corner. Although there was no screaming or bloodshed, the psychological pressure on people was beyond imagination!

During this short distance, Kuai Xiang wiped off the dense sweat on his forehead no less than five times.

"Deputy Qianhu, Lu Xingzhi is here."

Yuan Bin led the way proficiently, and would greet the passing jailers from time to time.

Not long after, everyone came to a prison cell.

Lu Xingzhi looked around 25, his lips were pale, and he was extremely haggard.I want to come to the interrogation process, I suffered a lot.

Hearing the sound of footsteps at this time, he instinctively protected his family members and shrunk to the corner, raised his eyes timidly, and opened his mouth slightly, looking extremely unbelievable.

I saw Kuai Xiang's delighted face came into view!
"Kuai Xiang?!"

Lu Xingzhi scrambled to the door and asked anxiously, "Kuai Xiang, why are you here?"

With tears in his eyes, Kuai Xiang said with concern, "I'll come and see you!"

"Look at me? You go, you go!" Lu Xingzhi's face changed drastically, "You dare to come to the prison of Beizhen Fusi, you hurry up and leave here!"

"Cough cough."

Li Kui coughed twice, interrupting their conversation.

Only then did Lu Xingzhi notice Li Kui and Li Kui, and his flying fish suit immediately silenced him.

"I am Li Kui, deputy Qianhu who is in charge of Lin Dongdong's case."

Li Kui asked, "When Lin Dongdong left last night, was there anything unusual?"

"No, Lin Dongdong took the King of Siam to meet the saint yesterday. After returning, the excitement lasted for a long time, so he asked me to have a drink."

Lu Xingzhi said tirelessly:

"He was supposed to take the Siamese envoys to visit Peiping today.

"So last night after drinking for three rounds, in order not to delay the business, Lin Dongdong left straight away. Not long after, I went home."

He has answered these questions at least dozens of times, and he has been able to memorize them fluently.

Li Kui asked again:

"Do you know that Lin Dongdong has offended other people before?"

Lu Xing's way:

"Probably not. He is cautious and friendly with others."

"How long have you known him?"

"Five years."

Li Kui glanced at Lu Xing and ordered, "Let him go."

"Yes."

Yuan Bin nodded immediately, and went directly to the prison head to open the cell door.

at the same time.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he hastily cupped his hands in thanks.

Immediately, he wiped away the tears that fell from excitement, held Kuai Xiang's hands choked up and was speechless, and finally couldn't help crying:
"Kuai Xiang, Lin Dongdong is dead!"

"what?"

Kuai Xiang couldn't help being stunned.

the other side.

"Let's go."

Li Kui turned and left, and said to Yuan Bin, "Take me to Lin Dongdong's residence."

All the way straight out of the prison.

"The Imperial Prison of Fusi in Beizhen seems to be a little different from what I imagined."

Li Kui held his hands behind his back, with a relaxed demeanor.

"Lu Xingzhi stayed on the first floor of the imperial prison, which is a place where he will be released at any time, but he may be locked up again. The real suffering is underground, and that is the real purgatory."

Yuan Bin was a step behind Li Kui, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency may not know, there are two types of prisons in Beizhen Governor's Office, one is for detaining people, and the other is for detaining demons and heretics."

"Oh."

Li Kui was thoughtful.

at this time.

"Deputy Li Qianhu, please stay."

Kuai Xiang's voice came from behind.

Li Kui turned his head and glanced away.

But seeing the latter trotting over, he cupped his hands and said, "I heard from Xingzhi that Lin Dongdong's body was found in a river in Chongwenmen?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Li Kui's tone was flat.

"Perhaps, I can help Deputy Li Qianhu a little bit."

Kuai Xiang took a few deep breaths to calm down his disordered breathing.

"Okay." Li Kui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Yuan Bin, do you know that place?"

"of course I know."

Yuan Bin did not hesitate, and his face was full of confidence.

He had already done his homework.

"lead the way!"

……

……

"The snow has not yet melted, pay attention to add clothes."

In the street, someone shouted.

"So, you have a good relationship with Lin Dongdong?" Li Kui said.

"I met him through Xingzhi." Kuai Xiang sighed, "Although he is from Siam, he likes Daming very much. He is humble and hardworking, and he speaks Mandarin very fluently."

As he said that, he smiled sadly: "I never thought that Lu Xingzhi went to prison because of Lin Dongdong's death. Mr. Vice Qianhu didn't know that Lin Dongdong was named by Xingzhi. .”

"It can be seen that the three of you have a good relationship," Li Kui said.

"Sir, it's here."

Yuan Bin pointed to a river not far away, where several small merchant ships floated by.

"Lord Kuai, please."

Li Kui stretched out his hand and asked.

Kuai Xiang didn't say a word, he walked quickly to the shore and watched carefully.

He was able to be in charge of the construction of Chengtian Gate, which showed that he had already emerged in this industry. He had seen many confidential drawings, including the detailed drawings of Chongwenmen.

Kuai Xiang's small favor is that he wants to find out where Lin Dongdong really fell into the water, and maybe he can find some clues.

It is worth mentioning that Chongwenmen is the place where business taxes are paid.

Wines and wines from all over the country enter Peiping by water, and they must pass through Chongwenmen.

Therefore, the waterways here extend in all directions, where did Lin Dongdong fall into the water?Where it came from is still an unsolved mystery.
