Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 510 Someone Was Killed
The murder scene was not messy. All three people died beside the table. There were still wine and vegetables on the table, and the wine was still warm.

All three of them were killed with a knife, the wound was in the throat, and the three of them showed no signs of resistance. Obviously, the killer's martial arts skills were extremely high, and he was familiar with the three of them, otherwise the scene would not be like this.

The luggage of the three people showed signs of being tampered with, but the valuables such as money were not lost. Obviously, this was not a murder for money.

Ye Xun came to the table with his hands behind his back, and behind him were related personnel such as the prefect of Kaifeng, the general judge, the head arrester, and the postmaster.

Including the prefect of Kaifeng, no one thought that the famous Ye Gonggong would appear here. They knew very well that if this incident had not happened, Ye Gonggong would not have shown up.

And when this incident happened in their jurisdiction, and Eunuch Ye was present, everyone was very nervous for a while, for fear that Eunuch Ye would spread fire on them, the dead Liaodong official, and Eunuch Ye was from Liaodong. !
Judging cases is not Ye Xun's forte. After observing for a while, Ye Xun beckoned the head catcher surnamed Gao from Kaifeng Mansion over.

"I'm not good at this, tell me about your conclusions."

Ye Xun never puts on airs in front of his subordinates, and he is even more amiable towards such a head catcher whose status is so different from his own.

Catcher Gao was still a little apprehensive at first, but affected by Ye Xun's attitude, his mind calmed down, he calmed down, organized his words, and said: "From the perspective of villains, there should be four or five people present when the crime happened. , one sat down to drink with these three, while the other stood by."

Before Gao Butou finished speaking, Yi Cheng beside him couldn't help interjecting: "There are only three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, how can Gao Butou say that there are two more? Besides, I just asked the guards outside what happened. I didn’t see anyone coming in or going out at the time of posting.”

Ye Xun looked at Yicheng, and then turned to Gao Butou. Although he didn't speak, there was obviously doubt in his eyes.

"Eunuch, no matter how clever the murderer is, there will be clues left behind. First of all, let's talk about the wound. Only when standing in front of the three people and suddenly stabbed, such a wound will be formed. In addition, please look at the ground, the murderer took the wine glass. The bowls and chopsticks and the seat were also removed, but it is not difficult to find that there are still slight scratches on the ground, so the villain concluded that the three of them were drinking with the murderer at that time."

"Speaking of the other person, the father-in-law also touched it when he came in. The wine was not cold enough, and after the murderer killed someone, he obviously didn't have time to rummage through the luggage of the three people, so the villain concluded that the murderer's accomplice was rummaging through the luggage of the three people. At that time, the three people were alarmed, and the murderer violently attacked."

Speaking of his profession, Gao catcher's previous humility was gone, and he talked eloquently and confidently when analyzing the case.

This time even Yi Cheng didn't know what to say.

"Since the guard outside the door didn't notice anyone coming in or out, how did the murderer get in or out?"

The magistrate finally couldn't help asking the question in his heart.

But there is no need for Catcher Gao to explain this question to them, because Ye Xun knows that this trivial matter is really easy for people with strong martial arts.

After looking up and down at Gao Baotou, he suddenly said, "Are you interested in coming to Xichang?"

Catcher Gao was stunned for a moment, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, he said: "Thank you for your kindness, father-in-law, but there is still a high hall in the family, so..."

Ye Xun smiled, and said: "It's my lord who is being rude, so let's do this! I will send someone to assist you. If you can solve the case, this guild will suggest to the Minister of Criminal Affairs to transfer you to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Although Ye Xun did many good deeds, he knew very well that the factory guards had a bad reputation in the hearts of ordinary people, so it was indeed a bit embarrassing for him to let people enter the West Factory.

After hearing Ye Xun's words, Catcher Gao was neither happy nor embarrassed, but asked, "Eunuch, do you want a time limit?"

The head catcher would actually ask such a question, Ye Xun couldn't help but give him another high look, and asked, "How long do you think it will take to solve the case?"

I remember that when Ye Xun secretly searched Fuhuo Beigeng's house in Jinyiwei South Town in Jinling, Ye Xun found the latest version of Liaodong's short-handled handgun. Because there were too many things at that time, Ye Xun forgot about it.

Ye Xun has long planned to build two more arsenals in Jiangnan and Shuzhong, and this requires a large number of officials and masters who understand technology and experience. Now some officials and masters of the arsenal are killed on the way. I am afraid there is something hidden behind this. Huge secret.

It's not that Ye Xun doesn't trust Gao Butou's ability, but if it involves too much, Gao Butou may not be able to handle it, because this matter may involve a certain high-ranking official in Liaodong.

Therefore, it is best for Sun Dong to handle this matter, but Sun Dong has not yet returned from Sichuan. Although Hu Jiucheng can do it, but his subordinates are all in the capital or in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that it is impossible to thoroughly investigate the arsenal.

Catcher Gao pondered for a moment, and said: "The person who was killed was an official from Liaodong, so if the father-in-law trusts the villain, he also hopes that the father-in-law can give the villain more power. As for a month, is it feasible?"

Ye Xun nodded secretly, this person is not bad, he is not the kind of talker, so he took off the jade badge on his waist and threw it over without hesitation.

"Regardless of Xichang or Jinyiwei, when they see this jade plaque, they will do their best to help you, and it will be limited to one month. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Catcher Gao held the jade plaque in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. He was not an ordinary person, he walked among the yamen, he knew what the jade plaque meant, and what made him even more unexpected was Xun's trust in him, you must know that this is the first time the two have met!I suddenly regretted it, why didn't I agree to Ye Gonggong's proposal to invite him to the West Factory just now?
Subconsciously knelt down, held the jade tablet high above his head, and said in a deep voice: "If the case is not solved, the villain will apologise with death."

To be honest, Ye Xun was not very optimistic about this small headhunter, because there were too many inside stories involved.

But the end of the year was approaching, and no one else could spare a shot, so let the head catcher toss around for now, even if he couldn't solve the case in the end, Ye Xun wouldn't make things difficult for him.

After all this tossing, it was already late at night, and he declined the magistrate's invitation tomorrow, and returned to his yard, but Ye Xun couldn't sleep because he said nothing.

Zhu Youjian was robbed, and the Liaodong Armory had frequent problems. Is there any connection between this?
Han Ping has always been in charge of the Liaodong Arsenal. This is also an old subordinate who has followed Ye Xun since Tieling. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.

But the world is unpredictable, many people will have the situation of sharing adversity, wealth and honor, especially those veterans who were the first to fight together, because of their limited ability, after they were not promoted, they saw their comrades-in-arms around them in prominent positions. It is hard to guarantee that there will be no change in psychology.

At this moment, Ye Xun suddenly realized something in his heart, he was afraid that he was too busy these days, and he had neglected the old brothers in Liaodong
