A Clash of Gods - Chapter 933

[Chapter 923]

Qi Ning said warmly, “General Shen’s condolences and change.” He gave Wei Yujiang a wink again, Wei Yujiang understood and asked, “General Shen, you mentioned the passing of the Great Governor twice, and you both used the word murdered, is it General Shen? Do you think there is something strange about it?”

Shen Liangqiu pondered for a while, and then said: “Master Hou, the humble general has already learned that now you are in charge of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. If the court thinks that this case is not strange, why would they shoot you here?”

Qi Ning smiled, Wei Yujiang had already said: “The Great Governor is a famous general of the empire. He passed away suddenly, and the court must take it seriously.”

Shen Liangqiu nodded slightly and said, “I’m a soldier, and I don’t know the name of punishment. But the Governor has known me for many years, and I know his temperament very well!” After a pause, he said, “He has big ambitions and wants to help me greatly. Chu ruled the world, so he has stepped up military training over the years and never slack off. Moreover, he and his wife are in harmony, and he just got a young son!” His eyes swept over the people present, and he said solemnly: “I dare to ask you, in this situation, it is Ordinary people can’t have the idea of committing suicide, let alone the iron-blooded governor who rules tens of thousands of soldiers?”

Everyone nodded slightly, thinking that what Shen Liangqiu said was reasonable.

“General Shen, according to what you said, the Great Governor was harmed by others, but in the East China Sea, who has the courage to attack Tantai Governor?” Qi Ning stared at Shen Liangqiu and asked, “General Shen If there is an object of suspicion, you don’t have to determine who it is, just tell us the possibility, and we can find clues to start.”

Shen Liangqiu shook his head and said: “Master Hou, as you said, it is difficult for a lowly general to imagine that someone in the East China Sea would dare to attack the Great Governor. The Great Governor is mainly on the side of the navy, and he does not have many contacts with other people, and he is in the lowly general. In his memory, the Grand Governor doesn’t seem to have any grudges against anyone.”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “General Shen’s words are too bad.”

Shen Liangqiu was stunned, but Qi Ning had already said: “In those days, the old Marquis of the Golden Sabre led the army to conquer the East China Sea. Once he succeeded, his bones were withered, and the East China Sea was pacified, but it also caused the Tantai family to have countless grudges in the East China Sea.”

Shen Liangqiu frowned slightly, nodded and said, “If you say that, it’s not bad. But Tantai’s expedition in the East China Sea is a matter of state. The meaning of the humble general is that the governor has no selfish hatred in the East China Sea.”

At this moment, they saw someone rushing in from outside the door, and everyone’s eyes suddenly turned to see an old man in his early 60s coming in from the door, Shen Liangqiu had already stood up and said to Qi Ning: “Master Hou, this is This is Director Hou.” Then he said to the old man, “Mr. Hou, this is the Jinyi Hou and the officers of the Punishment Department, who are here to investigate the case of the Grand Governor.”

Although Mr. Hou was over sixty years old, he did not stoop and hunched over. It was because he was in the army back then. The old man took a few steps before kneeling and salute to Qi Ning. Qi Ning had already stood up and said, “Boss. You don’t need to be polite, just stand and talk.”

“Thank you, Lord Hou.” As soon as Director Hou said a word, the circles of his eyes were already red, and he cupped his hands: “Master Hou, please make sure to find out the reason for the death of the Governor, otherwise the Governor will die.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “The old general manager also thought that the governor was killed by someone?”

Mr. Hou’s old tears were already dazzling from his eyes: “This old slave has been following the Governor for nearly ten years, and watching him grow up from a young age, this old slave will never believe that he committed suicide, never believe it!” The tone was very firm.

Qi Ning and several officials looked at each other, and then ordered: “Get a chair for the old manager.” Wei Yujiang got up and moved a chair over. Manager Hou hesitated for a while, but sat down anyway, and then Qi Ning asked: “Boss, on the night of the incident, who was the first to discover that the governor committed suicide?”

“There were several people.” Manager Hou controlled his emotions and recalled: “That night, the governor was in the study all the time, and when the time of Hai was approaching, the madam asked the old slave to ask the governor to rest earlier, and the old slave went to the study, the study The lights were on, and the old slave called out a few times, but the governor didn’t answer.”

Everyone looked at Director Hou, focused and said nothing, listening to Director Hou describe the scene of the night.

“The old slave was very strange at the time. I wondered if the governor was sleeping in the study?” Mr. Hou recalled: “So I wanted to push the door and go in. On weekdays, even if the governor was in the study, he seldom locked the door, but the old slave When I pushed the door, I realized that the door of the study was locked from the inside.” He glanced at Qi Ning before continuing, “This old slave felt even more strange, and after calling a few more times, the governor still didn’t respond. If you feel something is wrong, go to the lady immediately.”

Qi Ning held his chin and stared at Director Hou, only to hear Director Hou continue: “After the madam found out, it was also strange, and immediately went to the study, there were two maids with the madam at that time, when we arrived in the study, the madam also called a few times. , the governor has not responded, the lady knew that something was wrong, and had someone kick the door, the old slave called two slaves, kicked the door of the study, and when he entered the room, he saw it!” Director Hou raised his hand, I grabbed twice, my whole body trembled.

Wei Yujiang got up, but brought his own tea over. After serving the tea, he did not drink the tea. The Great Governor The Great Governor has committed suicide by hanging!”

“Suicide by hanging beam?” Qi Ning frowned.

He had known for a long time that Tantai Zhilin committed suicide, but in what way, he knew only now.

“The madam fell softly in front of the door at that time. The old slave only thought that there were assassins, and rushed in with two servants, wanting to let go of the chief governor, but the madam thought of something and told me not to touch the body of the chief governor, so the old servant went immediately. Find General Shen back.” Manager Hou was already in tears at the moment, “At that time, the governor was already cold with his hands and feet, and this old slave knew that this was a big deal, so he obeyed his wife’s order and immediately went to the naval camp to invite General Shen to come back. ”

Wei Yujiang asked, “Boss, were there other people in the study at that time?”

“Absolutely not.” Manager Hou said decisively: “The study has only two bookshelves, a desk, and a chair. The Governor likes simplicity in everything, so the study is not worth it and it is very simple. Every corner of the uc book alliance room. And at that time, the two domestic servants were still checking the house, and the doors and windows were all locked from the inside.”

Wei Yujiang frowned and said, “The doors and windows of the study are all locked from the inside, which means that after the incident, no one will come out from the inside.”

“That’s right, the door is locked from the inside, and someone kicked it open. The windows are also locked from the inside. If this is true, then no one can come out of the room.” Qi Ning was also thoughtful.

An official got up and cupped his hands: “Master Hou, shall we go and see the scene?”

“Exactly.” Qi Ning got up: “You can only get a rough idea of the real situation after watching the scene. Yes, the old chief manager, has there been any change in the study of the great governor?”

Shen Liangqiu said on the side: “Master Hou, the humble general was worried that someone would destroy the scene, which would lead to the loss of clues, so he sent someone to guard the study room that night. As of today, except for the remains of the Great Governor, everything at the scene has not been touched at all. destruction.”

“Have you dealt with the remains of the Great Governor?” Wei Yujiang was startled and frowned.

Shen Liangqiu said: “The weather was hot, and I was worried that the body would be damaged, so at that time, together with Director Hou, we dismantled the body of the Grand Governor, and then took ice cubes to prevent the body from changing. Other than that, there was no movement. The corpse of the general is in the slightest.” Xiang Qining said, “When the corpse of the governor was removed, the madam was there!”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “This is also a helpless move, General Shen, please lead the way!”

Shen Liangqiu raised his hand and said, “Master Hou, please!” Then he said to President Hou: “Boss, you go and tell Madam that the imperial court has sent Jin Yihou to investigate the case thoroughly. Lord Hou will definitely be able to get to the bottom of this case.”

Manager Hou agreed with a gloomy expression, apparently not recovering from Tantai Zhilin’s death.

Shen Liangqiu led the way, and the group went straight to Tantai Zhilin’s study. UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com walked to one end, Shen Liangqiu suddenly asked, “Master Hou, I wonder if there are some experts who are good at autopsy?”

“An autopsy?”

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said, “Although it is disrespectful to easily move his body when the Governor passed away, but in order to find out the truth, the humble general hopes that Lord Hou will send someone to conduct an autopsy to determine the true cause of death of the Governor.”

An official behind Qi Ning has already said: “General Shen, rest assured, the subordinate is good at examining remains, and he brought tools.” He lifted it with his right hand, but he was holding a package in his hand.

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said, “It’s work.”

The Governor’s Mansion was actually not that big, perhaps for the sake of fame, or because Tantai Zhilin had such a temperament. Overall, the Governor’s Mansion was not large, but it was estimated that it was bigger than an ordinary mansion in terms of power.

The layout of the mansion is also very ordinary, but there are flowers and trees everywhere. I want to come here on the coast of the East China Sea. There are many kinds of flowers and trees, which can make the air in the mansion more fresh. The road is full of flowers and flowers, and the air is also full of flowers and trees. Fragrant taste.

The study is a separate courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by a circle of flowerbeds with beautiful flowers. There are guards outside the courtyard door. When Shen Liangqiu comes over, a guard consciously unlocks the door of the courtyard, and Shen Liangqiu walks to the courtyard door. Before, he raised his hand to invite Qi Ning to advance, and Qi Ning was not polite and entered the courtyard.

This is a fairly empty yard. There is a big tree in the corner of the yard, with luxuriant branches. Next to the wall is a weapon rack with knives and guns standing on it. There is also a round circle under the big tree. It is a small stone table, and two stone piers are placed around the small stone table. I want to come to Tantai Zhilin when he has free time, he will practice martial arts here.

With his hands on his back, Qi Ning looked at the big tree, and recognized it as a large locust tree. It stretched out a lush green cloud, like a giant pillar rising into the sky. At first glance, it looked like an old locust tree.
