Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 330 Important People (Second Update)
Song Gu frowned and said:
"If both Hao Kui and the Zou family were fake, it would have to be concealed in an airtight manner. There should be quite a few people in the capital who knew Hao Kui, and the Zou family might be able to fake it. It would be difficult for Hao Kui to replace him with someone else. Whoever recognizes them will reveal their flaws, and they have such a big fight, what exactly do they want?"

"It is written in the case file that when Hao Kui was not in the capital, Mrs. Zou came to Hao Kui's house. In a fit of anger, she killed Yingniang with a staff and buried her body in the backyard. After telling the place where the corpse was buried, the yamen servant dug up the body, only to find that the corpse had turned into an old man. Everyone was terrified and screamed again and again. The yamen servant took the Zou family and others back to the government office. So the maid was released, and the others continued to be imprisoned. A few days later, Hao Kui quietly returned to the capital to intercede for his wife, but was arrested on the spot by Yin Fu."

Wu Chen paused at this point, looked at the crowd and asked:
"Who in the government office or the Liu family has seen Zou's subordinates bury the corpse? No one has seen it, but the case file says that the corpse has turned into an old man, and it is written about torture. The confession is consistent. What do you mean? It's just to emphasize that Zou The one they buried was Yingniang, so the Liu family and the servants of the government office spread the word. Who in the capital did not know that this was a weird case? It was rumored that the man-eating ghosts had spread! Besides, Hao Kui returned to Beijing to intercede, maybe It makes sense, the husband and wife share honor and disgrace, but the couple are locked in prison, and none of their children come to visit, but it still makes sense? What charges? Is the case closed? Hao Kui should not know what Zou did. Even if they are guilty, they are guilty of remarrying their wives, and they can go home after being exiled for a year, but Hao Kui has been in prison for several years, and their children have grown up. ?”

Song Gu said: "Once it is determined that the old man in the backyard was transformed by Yingniang, the case will never be investigated."

"And in the next few years, Liu's family members died one by one. No one remembered that there were Hao Kui and his wife in the cell. They only thought it was Yingniang asking for her life." Shang Gong added.

Wu Chen said: "Yesterday I went to the palace and questioned the officials. Back then, the officials ordered Chen Zhong to assist in the investigation of the case, and Chen Zhong helped cover it up. It's not clear who came from this case!"

Everyone was shocked, so the second grader hurriedly asked, "You mean this case is related to Prince Cheng's rebellion?"

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "How could Chen Zhong only do that one thing that lost his head?"

"What's that?" Xu Da asked.

Wu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know yet, I just infer that Chen Zhong relied on the trust of the officials and did some tricks, so Hao Kui and Zou's children were not questioned when they came to the capital. Fu Yin has never been promoted to ask questions, and no one has urged him."

"But the day they dug up the body was the day Chen Zhong was sentenced. The person who can guess that the government will re-examine the case must not be Chen Zhong." Song Gu said.

Wu Chen nodded:

"In addition to Chen Zhong, there are other people participating. Only in this way can it be commensurate with such a large layout. Otherwise, how can the Liu family and the fake Zou family perform such a play in front of the yamen servants? They are acting for From what the yamen servants saw, some rumors from the yamen servants are more useful than other people's!"

Shang Gong said:
"Deputy Envoy Wu once said that it would be easier to investigate the case if they knew their purpose, but the more others are involved, especially the people in the palace, the more difficult it is for us to investigate. What is the next step?"

Wu Chen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said:
"If the Liu family and the Hao family are both related to the government office, why is the Hao family safe and sound? I mean Chen Zhong seems to have saved the children of the Hao family. This means that the real Hao Kui and his wife are in prison, but But the Liu family was destroyed? Does it mean that the Liu family is the real purpose of the people behind the scenes? But why did they use this method to destroy the family? Since even the governor of the capital is his own, Chen Zhong helped them cover it up, so what happens? It's not impossible to solve the unsolved unsolved case..."

"If this is the case, I'm afraid Yang Kun's official position will be lost." Shang Gong said.

As soon as Shang Gong finished speaking, Gu Shiming pushed open the door and came in.

"I went to the government office first in the morning, and said that you would come in the afternoon. I was in a hurry, but I came a little later than you. What did you say?"

Gu Shiming found a place to sit down, and asked energetically.

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"Speaking of the fact that if Liu's family was directly wiped out back then, with the Yang Fu Yin covering him, they should be able to handle it, but the Shang Fu Yin said that if the family extermination happened directly, Yang Fu Yin's official position might not be guaranteed. I was just about to ask, Why can Yang Fu Yin keep his official position by destroying the family in such a way?"

"I can explain this." Gu Shiming opened the folding fan and shook it, saying:

"Back then, if there were no ghosts involved in this case, it would not be considered a serious case. As long as the Liu family is well managed and they will not pursue the case, there will be no victim in this case, and there will be no big disturbances. Hao Kui has a wife and more marriages. You don't have to suffer, just pay some money to appease the Liu family, and the Zou family will not even be imprisoned, at most they can send out a servant to take the blame."

Gu Shiming might feel a little cold while shaking the fan, so he put away the fan and said:
"However, if the whole family of the Liu family died on the same day, and it was determined that they were murdered, the case would be serious. If such a thing happened at the emperor's feet, it would be surprising that Yang Kun could still keep his official position."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said:
"Looking at it this way, it seems that the game was set up for Yang Kun, but I don't think so. If it wasn't for the conclusion that Chen Zhong participated, there might be this possibility. Who is Chen Zhong? He won't think about anyone! The people behind the scenes even Chen Zhong They are all useful, and it is not difficult to use Yang Kun. Maybe Yang Kun has a handle in the hands of the people behind the scenes. He only has to obey orders. Yang Kun...or not only for Yang Kun, Yang Kun is still useful to Chen Zhong and the people behind the scenes in the position of governor of the capital."

The second year of high school asked: "After all, what do you want to do next?"

Wu Chen looked at Gu Shiming, and Gu Shiming hurriedly said, "Yesterday, I sent a message to Kangshui County. You also know that after Chen Zhong was punished, the Investigation Department is also in the process of rectification. Some people dare not use it..."

"You can transfer Gu You to me. He has been with Chen Zhong for a long time. I can ask him anytime."

"That can't be done. Right now he is in prison, and I have to interrogate him today..."

"Take a trial! In this way, don't use torture, ask what you should ask, and you will be easy to deal with, but based on my understanding of Gu You and Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong will not say why the errands assigned by Chen Zhong, and neither will Gu You. Ask, so unless you ask him about a specific thing, maybe you can ask him something, otherwise he won't be able to say anything, so it's better to keep it by my side."

Gu Shiming waved his hand, frowned and was about to refuse, Wu Chen glared and said, "I'm the deputy envoy of the investigation department, you're just doing official business, you just follow orders, why so much nonsense!"
