Da Song Private Investigator

After assigning the tasks, all Hua Lang and Bao Zheng had to do was to wait for news.

While waiting for the news, Hwarang sorted out the clues they got.

In the case of Xue Ju's murder, there were six suspects, among which Mrs. Xue, Kong Long, and Zhu Can were the most suspected, followed by Lu Yan, Shi Lun, and Miss Qing He.

These six people have the opportunity to poison, but only Madam Xue, Kong Long and Zhu Can have the motive.

To find out who the murderer is, what Hwarang and the others have to do is to find out whether the motive is fatal, whether it is because of anger at being beaten, or because of business competition, or because they feel that Xue Ju's existence prevents them from stealing. woman.

Hwarang presented these clues in his mind over and over again, and then went to find the connection of these clues. He believed that there must be something he had overlooked, but it played a major role in the murder case.

In the evening, Yu Hai finally rushed back with the yamen servant who had investigated the news.

The yamen servant who went to inquire about Mrs. Xue's natal family reported that Mrs. Xue did go back to her natal family that day, and according to Mrs. Xue's mother, the mother and daughter had a lot of conversations in the room.

After listening to the yamen servant's words, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and said, "Then, have you asked the people nearby if you saw Mrs. Xue that day?"

The yamen servant's face suddenly changed, he shook his head and said, "No, we...we only asked Mrs. Xue's natal family."

Hua Lang shook his head and said: "Mrs. Xue's natal family is not reliable. What if they have already colluded? Go ask the people nearby tomorrow to see if Mrs. Xue has been to her natal family these days. , especially those few days when Mrs. Xue went out alone."

Seeing that Hwarang wasn't very angry, the yamen servants felt a little relieved.

Afterwards, Yu Hai, the county magistrate, told him about his questioning of Zhu Can.

"Returning to Mr. Bao, I have already asked Zhu Can. He said that he did molested Mrs. Xue that day, but he left very unhappy when he saw Mrs. Xue ignoring him. After that, he also asked Mrs. Xue several times. Mrs. Xue showed her kindness, but Mrs. Xue just ignored him. He felt that it was boring, so he stopped harassing Mrs. Xue. The officials had verified what Zhu Can said. After he left Xue Ju's inn that day, he and Mrs. A group of friends went to the Phoenix Tower, and the people in the Phoenix Tower and his friends all testified, so it is known that Mrs. Xue and Zhu Can could not kill Xue Ju for the sake of having an affair."

After listening to Yu Hai's words, Bao Zheng nodded slightly and asked, "Did you investigate Zhu Can's whereabouts during the other times Mrs. Xue went out?"

Yu Hai nodded again and again: "Of course we found this out. When Madam Xue left the inn, Zhu Can had proof of his alibi, so it's impossible for the two of them to have an affair together."

Seeing what Yu Hai said with certainty, Bao Zheng frowned slightly, but he couldn't say anything for a while, so he had to order Yu Hai to go down.

But after Yu Hai went down, Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Brother Hua, do you think Yu Hai is telling the truth?"

Hwarang shrugged and smiled, "I'm afraid not!"

"No?" Everyone was startled, but at this moment, Bao Zheng said angrily: "It's unreasonable, this Yu Hai dared to lie to me." Bao Zheng wanted to send someone to call Yu Hai again, and he was going to teach Yu Hai a lesson .

But at this time, Hua Lang quickly stopped and said: "Brother Bao, don't worry, if Yu Hai doesn't admit to lying now, we can't do anything to him, so we want to investigate whether Yu Hai has lied, how about this..." Hua Lang Whispered in Bao Zheng's ear, Bao Zheng nodded repeatedly after listening.

After such a night of silence, the next morning, the yamen servant went to investigate whether Mrs. Xue had lied, but at this time, Bao Zheng suddenly said that he wanted to investigate Yu Hai's political achievements and financial income.

Bao Zheng suddenly proposed to investigate Yu Hai's political achievements, but Yu Hai was frightened, he repeatedly found excuses to shirk, but at this time, Bao Zheng stared at him and said: "Magistrate Yu didn't let my lord inspect it, is there something to hide? "

After saying a word to Yu Hai, Bao Zheng immediately started to investigate.

After the investigation, Bao Zheng was furious immediately, looked at Yu Hai and asked, "You are a small county magistrate who only earns a little a year. You actually have so much income, but is it from corruption?"

At this time, Yu Hai knelt down in fright, and repeatedly argued: "You are wronged, my lord, this is not obtained through corruption by lower officials, none of this money fell into my pocket, these... these..." Yu Hai said After hesitating for a long time, he said cruelly: "Master Bao also knows that the most important thing in the imperial court's assessment of officials is to look at the financial income. I am thinking that after the three-year period expires, I can go to the capital to be an official. This is where money is all. Those who ask for my squire's support are not corrupted by lower officials."

After Bao Zheng listened, he still didn't give a good face, snorted coldly, and said: "Then Zhu Can is the richest man here, obviously he also gave you a lot, right?"

Yu Hai, the county magistrate, was frightened a long time ago, nodded repeatedly, and said: "That's right, then Zhu Can's business here is very big, and it's hard to guarantee that he doesn't need my protection, so he often sends me some subsidies, and besides , He still wants to expand his business to the capital, so he even more hopes that I will become an official in the capital, for this reason, that...that will be more filial."

After hearing this, Bao Zheng nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then if you asked him yesterday, did he tell the truth?"

Yu Hai knelt on the ground and looked up at Bao Zheng. Seeing Bao Zheng's face was serious and he didn't dare to expire, he quickly said: "After molesting Mrs. Xue, he did go to the Phoenix Tower with his friends to have fun. On other days, this is not the case. Other days One day, he didn’t have an alibi for a few days, so I let me take care of it, and on other days, he said he was playing with other married women, so it’s inconvenient to say, so I let me take care of it, but he said, He has nothing to do with Mrs. Xue, and because of this, he has always felt that it is a pity that he cannot kiss Mrs. Xue's Fangze."

After Yu Hai finished speaking, he looked at Bao Zheng and asked, "Lord Bao, I have already told you everything I know, do you think this is..." Yu Hai's meaning could not be more clear, he wanted Bao Zheng to Don't regard the squire's funding of him as corruption, otherwise not only will he have no hope of promotion, even this little county magistrate may be in danger.

As for Bao Zheng, because there is still something useful for Yu Hai, he didn't give a clear answer. He just let Yu Hai go down and warned Yu Hai not to lie to him in the future. Although Yu Hai didn't understand what medicine was sold in Bao Zheng's gourd, But he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to take the order and leave, thinking about curry favor with Bao Zheng in the recent period.
