A Clash of Gods - Chapter 934

[Chapter 924]

I would like to apologize to everyone here first. I haven’t updated it for half a month. I’m really sorry.

(UC Book League is the fastest update) I have written a leave request, and the official account has also explained in detail. Desert has undergone surgery due to illness. He has been hospitalized for more than ten days, and has just been discharged from the hospital for two days. The two incisions are still recovering and healing. Stay everyone.

The incision still hurts these few days, because the surgery site is not very good and the healing speed is slow, so I can write as much as I can these days. Make up for it, and apologize to everyone again!

As the sun sets in the west, the courtyard is quite dark, and the surroundings are peaceful and pleasant. A gust of wind blows. The lush branches and leaves of the old locust tree move gently with the wind, and a few old leaves float from the branches.

Shen Liangqiu walked to the door of the house and stopped, Qi Ning followed him with his hands on his back, staring at the door.

The door of the house is very ordinary, and there are not too many carvings. The two thick door panels are closed. Qi Ning glanced at the door and saw that the door was locked. He didn’t speak, just looked at Shen Liangqiu.

“On the day of the incident, the door was not locked.” Shen Liangqiu naturally understood what Qi Ning meant, and immediately explained, “Manager Hou said that the door was locked from the inside that night. It took two labors to knock the door open. Because of the need to protect the scene, after we placed the remains of the Grand Governor, the door was locked. During this period, no one dared to approach.”

“General Shen’s ability to protect the scene in time is of great help to this case.” Qi Ning nodded.

Shen Liangqiu didn’t say much, went up to unlock the door, pushed open the door, Qi Ning was not in a hurry to go in, and gave Wei Yujiang a wink, Wei Yujiang understood, bowed his hands to Shen Liangqiu, and was the first to enter the house.

Wei Yujiang is a veteran of the Criminal Department and has a lot of exposure to criminals. He is naturally familiar with on-site investigations. Qi Ning knows such things, and experience is very important.

Several other officials of the Punishment Department also knew it well. They waited outside the door and did not act rashly. Shen Liangqiu seemed to understand the reason. He stood in front of the door and did not enter. Qi Ning nodded, and then Qi Ning walked slowly towards the door.

As soon as I entered the house, I felt a chill coming, which was in sharp contrast with the temperature outside.

The interior of the house is very spacious, but the furnishings are very simple. There is a desk near the window on the left side. Books are scattered on the table. A few steps away from the desk, there is a row of bookshelves against the wall. There are not many books on it, and in the middle of the study is a small round wooden table, surrounded by four mahogany round stools.

There are teapots, teacups and an oil lamp on the table, but there are no other objects.

Qi Ning swept his eyes and saw that there was a chair in the middle of the room. The chair was obviously matched with the desk. Normally, it should be placed behind the desk, but the position that appeared at the moment was very unusual. Qi Ning Looking up slowly, he saw a rope hanging above the chair, and the lower end of the rope was wrapped into a rope loop. There is no doubt that Tantai Zhilin used this rope to hang himself from the beam.

Several officials from the Ministry of Punishment followed Qi Ning into the house, and they looked around and observed the scene.

This time, the officials of the Ministry of Justice brought by Qi Ning are also veterans of the Ministry of Justice, and they are still somewhat competent in the case determination. This time, the little Marquis was selected to investigate such an important case in the East China Sea. Everyone knew that the matter was important. I can’t be sloppy at all, so I’m very cautious, but I hope that this time I can make a contribution under the eyes of Xiaohou, so I’m also very positive.

Qi Ning looked around and finally landed in the corner.

I only saw a plank bed erected in the corner,

There are several iron pipes surrounding the plank bed, and there are also water stains under the plank bed. The top of the plank bed is covered with a white linen cloth. Qi Ning knows that if there is no accident, the white linen cloth should be Tantai Zhilin. .

The dignified golden sword waiting for the prince and the governor of Donghai Normal University, but now lying quietly here, it is really embarrassing.

“Master Hou, I have inspected the place. If there is no damage here, then it is impossible for anyone to enter the house on the day of the incident.” Wei Yujiang checked the house for a long time, and at this time, he went to Qi Ning and reported: “There are a total of two windows in the house, but they are all bolted from the inside, and it is impossible to open from the outside.”

“Are you sure there is no other place to enter?”

Wei Yujiang shook his head and said, “There are no secret secrets in this room!” He raised his head and looked up: “The roof tiles have not moved.” Looking at Shen Liangqiu, he asked: “General Shen, you rushed over the night of the crime. Come here, everything in this room is the same as it was then?”

Shen Liangqiu’s expression was solemn, and he stepped forward and said, “You can rest assured on this point. Since the discovery of the murder of the Great Governor, this house has always been under surveillance. When I came here, I immediately put the house inside and outside the house. After checking it carefully, many people can testify that the windows and furnishings in the house have not moved. Except!” He pointed to the hanging rope ring: “Except for the body of the governor, the body of the governor was on it at that time, Hou After the chief officer and his wife broke into the door, they found that the governor was cold and had been killed for a long time, so they did not dare to take down the body of the governor until I came over and took someone to hold the body of the governor.”

“General Shen is worried that the body of the Governor will be damaged due to the hot weather, so!” Qi Ning raised his finger and pointed to the corpse covered by white linen, and did not continue.

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said, “Returning to the words of Lord Marquis, I will see that the Governor Suspended himself, and he doesn’t believe it is a fact at all, so he thinks that the court will send someone to investigate the case. The Governor’s body is the most important clue in this case. The matter is of great importance, and the humble general knows that we must do our best to protect the body of the Grand Governor, so he sent people to find ice blocks, put the body of the Grand Governor here, and use ice to protect the body from damage.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, then looked at the official with the package in his hand, and instructed: “Mr. Zheng, the body of the governor will be handed over to you.”

That director Zheng was also a monk back then. He listened to Qi Ning’s instructions and immediately went over to the body, squatted down, put down the package, and cupped his hands to the body: “Captain, I’m offended!” Wei Yujiang and others slowly approached the past.

The room was very dark, the white linen was lifted, and there was naturally a corpse underneath. Tantai Zhilin’s bun was exposed first, and then the lights suddenly came on behind, but it was Shen Liangqiu who had already lit the oil lamp, holding the oil lamp in his hand and approached the room. come over.

Tantai Zhilin’s face was covered with a white gauze, with a black beard on the edge. Qi Ning knew that the white gauze was also a kind of respect for Tantai Zhilin. He moved his eyes down to Tantai Zhilin’s neck. There is a very conspicuous streak on the neck, which at first glance is left by the rope restraint when the beam was suspended.

“Master Hou, General Shen, if you want to perform an autopsy, you must offend the body of the Great Governor, and even cut and damage the flesh.” Director Zheng looked up at Qi Ning, and said cautiously, “I don’t know?”

“General Shen, the emperor and the old marquis of the golden sword sent this marquis to investigate this case. Naturally, they have to be cautious.” Qi Ning looked at Shen Liangqiu: “General Shen also suspects that the death of the great governor is something else, so let’s also be careful. There is no need to come to a conclusion early, whether the Governor committed suicide or was murdered, let us investigate step by step and speak the facts.”

Shen Liangqiu said: “This is what the humble general also means.”

“So our first step is of course to determine the true cause of death of the Grand Governor.” Qi Ning looked solemn: “To determine the cause of death, it is inevitable that a careful autopsy must be done. Before, General Shen had already voluntarily asked for an autopsy, and that was what Benhou meant, so Next, Mr. Zheng will conduct a careful autopsy, and if there is anything that offends the Grand Governor, there is no way.”

Shen Liangqiu said, “Don’t lie to the Marquis, before you arrived, the humble general had already asked the madam what she meant. Madam said that as long as we can get to the bottom of the murder of the great governor, we can do an autopsy for the great governor.” Looking at Director Zheng, Said: “There is Lao Zheng in charge!”

Director Zheng received the consent of Qi Ning and Shen Liangqiu, so he opened the package without any scruples, and took out the tools one by one from the inside.

Shen Liangqiu frowned slightly, and said to Qi Ning, “Master Hou, I will be disrespectful, and I will conduct an autopsy for the Dadu. I don’t want to stay here, so I can only go out and wait.”

Qi Ning looked solemn, nodded slightly, and said to Wei Yujiang: “Wei Sishen, you stay here to help Director Zheng, everyone else will leave here first, we will wait outside.”

The deceased is very big, and today’s situation forced the inspection of Tantai Zhilin’s body. Of course, it is not good for everyone to watch the autopsy, so Qi Ning offered to let everyone go out and wait, Shen Liangqiu Hearing this, there was a hint of gratitude between his brows, he raised his hand and asked Qi Ning to go first, Qi Ning left behind Wei Yujiang and Director Zheng, and led the others out.

Perhaps because of the old locust tree, the courtyard was extremely dark, and even had a gloomy aura. Qi Ning looked at the old locust tree with his hands on his back, and suddenly asked, “General Shen, this big tree is very big in the yard. Some years?”

Shen Liangqiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: “I really don’t know when this big tree was planted. When the old marquis was sitting in the East China Sea, the mansion was in the southeast corner of the city. Later, the old marquis returned to Beijing, the eldest son. The Great Governor was ordered to guard the East China Sea, so he moved the mansion here, this mansion was originally the property of the East China Sea Jiang family, and was later dedicated to the imperial court.”

“Donghai Jiang Family?” Qi Ning’s spirit tightened.

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said, “Exactly, Han Lu Jiangchen, the four families in the East China Sea, and the four most powerful families on the ground in the East China Sea, the Jiang family is one of them.”

“Does General Shen know about Jiang Suiyun?” Qi Ning turned to Shen Liangqiu.

Shen Liangqiu nodded and said, “That’s the eldest son of the Jiang family, the eldest son of Jiang Mantian. I heard that he is now an official in the capital, so Master Hou naturally knows this person.”

With a slight smile on his lips, Qi Ning said, “He is now on duty in the Ministry of War.” After pondering for a while, he said, “According to what I have heard, the Jiang family is very powerful in the East China Sea, and is known as the number one giant in the East China Sea. I wonder if it’s true or not? ”

“It deserves the name.” Shen Liangqiu smiled faintly: “Thirty years ago, the Jiang family was naturally far from being on a par with the Han family and the Lu family, but today, the Jiang family is by no means inferior to the Han family, and the Jiang family has a fleet on hand. There are trade exchanges every year, and now they are fighting for gold. Some people say that the Jiang family is rich enough to be an enemy country. It may be an exaggeration, but the number one giant in the East China Sea is indeed worthy of the name.”
