Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 385 A clueless investigation.

After Qin Ming left, Hua Lang, Yin Wucuo, Wen Meng and the others hurried to the state government office to find Bao Zheng.

Their detective agency is very close to the state office, so they didn't waste much time on the way. After they came to the state office and told about Qin Ming, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were also very surprised. They never expected that, Tsing Yi Club actually acted so quickly.

After everyone calmed down, Bao Zheng asked, "What is Brother Hua going to do?"

Hua Lang thought for a while, and said: "If the thief is really a member of Qingyi Club, then we must not act rashly, we cannot joke about the lives of so many people in the Qin family, so I think we should investigate secretly first."

Bao Zheng nodded: "That's the only way. From tomorrow onwards, I will ask Dynasty Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and four people to lead their own subordinates to secretly investigate this matter."

After everyone agreed in this way, they talked again and left when the sky was a little dark.

When I left, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the autumn wind was cool, giving people a sense of loneliness.

After such a night of silence, early the next morning, Hwarang and the others made unannounced visits everywhere, or looked for traces of the Tsingyi Club, but after searching for several hours, there was no clue.

So this journey is boring, and the only thing that makes them feel gratified is the scenery along the way, and when passing by a family, that family is celebrating the old man's birthday, and when encountering festive events, it will inevitably make people sweep away the unpleasantness .

It was noon until they had lunch at an inn. Just as they finished their lunch and were about to continue looking, they suddenly saw Dynasty Mahan, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu leading a group of arresters to open the way ahead. And Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce followed closely behind. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that something extremely important had happened.

Bao Zheng saw Hua Lang from afar, and said, "Brother Hua, quickly follow us, someone is dead!"

"Someone died, who died?" Hwarang was startled.

Bao Zheng and the others said as they walked: "Today, the old man Lin Shan of Moyanzhai celebrated his [-]th birthday, but just now when the Lin family came to report, their old man died suddenly in his room. After I received the report, I rushed to this place Here we come."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, Wen Meng said in surprise: "Lin Shan is dead. We passed by their house not long ago, and we didn't see anything unusual."

After listening to everyone's words, Hwarang didn't say a word, he just felt that things were so strange, how could an old man die at his birthday banquet?

Not long after, everyone came to the Lin Mansion. At this time, the whole Lin Mansion was in a panic. The guests who came here to celebrate the birthday kept walking around. Some people even called it unlucky.

After Bao Zheng led people into the Lin Mansion, the Lin Mansion immediately fell silent. At this time, a sad-faced middle-aged man about 40 years old came up to meet him. After he greeted him, he immediately said: "Lord Bao, You are finally here, you... you must find the murderer who killed my father!"

This person was very sad, and now he said that the deceased was his father, so his identity is very clear, but at this time, a person standing behind him said with some disdain: "Brother, how can you be sure that your father was killed?" Yes, he is old, so it is normal for him to die suddenly!"

The indifferent look at the back seemed to be indifferent to the deceased, which made Bao Zheng and Hwarang suddenly realize the complexity of the case.

But at this time, the elder brother turned around and scolded his younger brother: "What are you talking about? Are you saying something that should be said by a son of man? Although my father is seventy years old, he has always been in good health. How could he suddenly die?"

The younger brother was reprimanded and had nothing to say, but judging from his expression, it seemed that he didn't quite agree with his elder brother's opinion.

At this time, those guests suddenly yelled: "Now that the people from the government are here, we can always leave, so why don't we want to watch us for the rest of our lives?"

Bao Zheng was a little upset, and roared angrily: "No one is allowed to leave until you are allowed to leave."

After saying this, Bao Zheng said to Lin Shan's sons: "Go and have a look at the scene."

On the way to the scene, Bao Zheng and Hua Lang had a general understanding of the situation in the Lin Mansion.

The Lin Mansion is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is used for entertaining guests. Of course, some servants also live in the front yard, and the back yard is where Lin Shan and his son and granddaughter live.

Lin Shan’s Moyanzhai is the largest place to buy and sell inkstones in Duanzhou City. It is very famous in Duanzhou City. Almost every day, scholars and dignitaries from afar come here to buy inkstones. Of course, this is not the reputation of Moyanzhai. Big, but the reputation of Duanzhou inkstone is great, and the Song Dynasty worshiped literature, so that the status of scholars doubled, and as the emperor, Emperor Renzong is a lover of poetry and ink, so every year he collects excellent inkstones from all over the world. inkstone as a tribute.

And Duanzhou is precisely the place where the most inkstone tributes are produced. Many wealthy households here started their business by mining inkstones and carving inkstones. Among these people, Lin Shan was the best at business, and finally opened a The largest inkstone shop, Mo Yan Zhai, has been the banner of Duanzhou for more than 40 years. Bao Zheng and Hua Lang even heard that Mo Yan Zhai can pay more than ten pieces of high-quality Duan inkstones to the imperial court every year. The rewards given are also not to be underestimated.

Such courtesy is rare in Duanzhou.

Now that Lin Shan has been killed, it seems that it will cause an uproar in the Duanyan world, and this is why Bao Zheng and Hua Lang feel that the matter is complicated. Of course, in addition to this reason, there is also the problem of Lin Shan's sons and daughters. .

Lin Shan has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Lin Shouye, followed Lin Shan to run the inkstone business since he was a child. The inkstone studio was given to Lin Shouye alone. According to Lin Shan's words before his death, he is the only one who can continue the inkstone studio.

The reason why Lin Shan would say such things is naturally related to his second son, Lin Kaikai. Lin Kaikai is about ten years younger than Lin Shouye. When he was born, his family was already relatively wealthy, so he developed a hobby of rich children since he was a child. , not doing business, all day long he just knows to wander around with a group of friends, and he doesn't know anything about the inkstone.

With two sons like this, Lin Shan, as a father, naturally wants to hand over the ink inkstone studio that he has worked hard all his life to Lin Shouye.

Of course, Lin Shan has a daughter, Lin Ruoyun, but she is already married, and it is impossible to entrust a career like this to a woman, no matter what the woman is!
