Chapter 27 Technique
“What’s the idea?”
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes focused on Wang Shendao.
"Why don't you transfer these two murder cases to our Criminal Department and let us handle it with full authority." Wang Shendao may have been soaked in evil spirits for many years, but there was also a sinister look on his face when he smiled, "Guaranteed I will solve the case for you within a few days.”
Hearing what he said, Xie Wenxi looked a little embarrassed.
The Zhuxie Division is an independent yamen and is not subject to the control of the Three Fa Divisions. Moreover, because of the high regard from above, its status is superior to other divisions.
Because Chen Su was invited back by Liang Fuguo, when the Ministry of Justice and the Zhu Xie Division had disputes, the left prime minister always asked the Ministry of Justice to give in.
In recent years, the Ministry of Punishment, which has been rising with the rise of the Left Prime Minister, has always been the most arrogant existence in the court, but it always has to swallow its anger towards the Zhuxie Division. In fact, it has some backlog of dissatisfaction.
Even if Liang Fuguo respected Zhu Xie Si no more, he could not stop the people below from feeling resentful. People in the Ministry of Punishment have always been hiding their thoughts and want to prove to Mr. Left Prime Minister that our own company in the Ministry of Punishment is good enough.
Zhuxie Division has always been indifferent to this kind of subtle hostility. If there are too many lice, we are not afraid of being bitten. Anyway, you and the Punishment Department are not the only ones who hate us, so we treat everyone with a condescending attitude.
They were not pure members of the imperial court. After the Jiu Yang spies were eliminated, they naturally returned to the Immortal Mountain to practice and were too lazy to deal with the relationship with other yamen.
This is even more unacceptable to other yamen.
However, Zhuxiesi is indeed capable and can accomplish things that other yamen have failed to accomplish in ten years.
This time, asking people from Tianlou and the Ministry of Justice to help solve the case was a bit of a loss of face, but in the end, in order to find out whether there was any problem internally, I still took a step back.
This is just asking for help.
If the case leadership is really handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what does that mean?
If the Zhuxie Division cannot handle the matter, let the Punishment Department do it?
Doesn’t it mean that the Punishment Department is stronger than Zhuxie Yamen.
Before we go down the mountain, we will hand over this matter to the Ministry of Punishment, and after we go down the mountain, we will still hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment. So didn’t we come down the mountain in vain?
And what’s more serious is...if the leadership is handed over to the Criminal Department, it will be like handing them a knife.
No one in the court knew how ruthless the punishment department was.
Don’t talk about the far side, just talk about the near side.
A boss of the Ministry of Industry died a few days ago, and the case was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. As a result, several large carts of silver were found from his home that day.
The entire Ministry of Industry was immediately in decline. The Ministry of Punishment found an excuse to intervene in a thorough investigation. Dozens of officials were invited to talk, and documents and files from the past few decades were moved there.
It can be described as a precarious situation nowadays.
Life or death depends on how much the Punishment Department can find out.
Once they catch a loophole, the Ministry of Industry will usher in a bloody storm.
Everyone in the Ministry of Industry probably hates Zhen Changzhi now. If you don’t die sooner or later, if you don’t die of illness, starvation, old age, or wind, you have to be murdered?
Although you are the deceased, don’t you have any responsibility?
Bringing such an unnecessary disaster to everyone.
People in the court have always agreed that if the Ministry of Justice grabs a pigtail, it will be bitten by a dog.
How is it possible to hand over this case, which may involve an insider of the Zhuxie Division, to the Criminal Department? Once they find some excuse to conduct a thorough investigation, it will not be easy to escape without being stripped of their skin.
“The Criminal Department is naturally good at handling cases, but our Zhuxie Division has experience in dealing with Jiu Yang spies.” Xie Wenxi thought for a while and replied: “We should still focus on cooperation, how can we invite If you ask for help, I'll just leave it to you to work hard."
"That's what I said." It didn't matter that Wang Shendao was rejected, he just smiled proudly: "But this is a mysterious case with few clues. I'm afraid no one in Longyuan City can defeat me. Even if you think about it like this, it may not work out."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door from outside. He walked in and handed Wen Yifan a secret letter.
After Wen Yifan saw it, he raised his eyes and said, "The guard mentioned before said that he might have guessed the murder method."
"..." Wang Shendao was silent for a moment, and then frowned. He said: "That guard?"
They have all heard the story of the case and knew the guard who had appeared. They thought he appeared as a plot character, but they didn't expect that there was still a picture of him here.
However, no one would think that a guard could really be better than the people present. The first reaction was that he was probably another toad who took the opportunity to get close to Miss Wen.
On the contrary, Wen Yifan himself took the initiative and said: "I don't think he seems to be a talkative person. You can listen to his thoughts."
"That's okay." Xie Wenxi responded: "Ask him to come over."
"Okay." Wang Shendao just boasted and learned the news, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "We'll come Let's hear what this Congwei has to say. "
... When Liang Yue was introduced into the morgue, he saw such a grand scene.
Priest Wentianlou, Divine Sword Master, Chief of Zhuxie Department... all of them are important figures in Longyuan City, their eyes are very sharp, and they are looking straight at him It shines over him, as if it wants to shine through him.
An ordinary guard would be speechless in this scene.
But Liang Yue was quite calm and showed no stage fright at all.
Wen Yifan said: "What tricks have you guessed? You can tell me about it."
Liang Yue had been thinking about this case before, and was suddenly awakened by Dachun's words, as if It was like a wake-up call and he hurried over. It was only when I was waiting that I calmed down completely and thought about whether there were any flaws in my speculation.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to perform, he looked around, cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, before I talk, I want to ask a question."
"Please speak." Xie Wenxi said.
As soon as Liang Yue asked: "This heart-destroying Gu... is it a kind of insect?"
"Huh." Wang Shendao couldn't help laughing.
I really thought it was a genius who appeared out of nowhere, but it turned out to be the little Yakuza.
He was also worried that if the case was solved by this guard, he would be disgraced. Now I see that the other person doesn't even know this kind of common sense among practitioners, so it must be nothing to worry about.
Only Wei Ping'er, who was next to her, replied in a low voice: "Heart-destroying Gu is an insect, and its lifespan is extremely short. Without warm blood, it will die. It is usually refined into elixirs to preserve it. After being taken by someone, it will disappear in a very short time. It penetrates people's heart veins and then melts inside. "So since there is a way to seal it, is there any way to keep it suppressed in the human body?" Liang Yue asked again.
"This..." Wei Ping'er frowned, "I have to think about it..."
When hearing his question like this, Wen Yifan suddenly raised his head and his eyes lit up. The light seems to have thought of something!
"Then let me first assume that after a person takes the heart-destroying poison, there is a medicine that can make it continue to sleep in the person's body, but there is a time limit and the antidote needs to be taken regularly, then... "Liang Yue said slowly, "Once you stop taking the medicine, will you die suddenly? "
"Hiss..." This inference made the audience gasp.
This is indeed a blind spot in thinking.
They all habitually thought about some way to poison people without anyone noticing, but no one thought that the deceased might have already taken the poison.
Not taking the antidote one day is equivalent to taking poison!
When he talked about this, it was like an enlightenment, enough to make people think about the next thing.
"I thought of it!" Wei Ping'er suddenly raised her head and said with rare excitement: "Using wind sleep grass, frost leaves and the blood of a certain ice realm spirit beast, we should be able to suppress the heart-destroying Gu insect and keep it trapped. Hibernation, this is possible!"
After saying that, she found that everyone's eyes were on her face, her face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head.
It seems that you feel safer when you are facing the dead.
"Not bad..." Wang Shendao said solemnly: "It's completely feasible, but I didn't think of this angle before..."
With Wei Ping'er's affirmation, Liang Yue became more confident, He continued to speculate: "Yu Wenlong may have known that what he was doing was a desperate act, so he took the poison early and took medicine to suppress it every day. If something happened one day, he would not even have the chance to commit suicide."
"And Miss Fengdie was probably killed by an outsider. There were many bottles and cans on her shelf. She probably had the habit of taking certain medicines for a long time, but she suddenly stopped recently." Liang Yue said: "This is my guess. , because she once said that she has been unwell in the past two days. You have to ask her personal maid whether she has been feeling well in the past two days."
Xie Wenxi immediately sent someone to ask.
A moment later, the reply came back: "Pillowdie has indeed been taking a medicine called sleeping incense pills, otherwise I would have trouble sleeping at night!"
"That's it! This sleeping incense pill The pill must have medicine to suppress the heart-destroying poison, so when she stopped taking the medicine, the heart-destroying poison broke out. The person who killed her may or may not have been arranged by Yu Wenlong, but it was 80% related to the person who sold the sleeping pills. It's related to the drug store! They probably feel that their plan will not be discovered at this moment. If Zhu Xie Division attacks with lightning, they may gain something." Liang Yue was very excited.
“……”
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, and there was a moment of complete silence as everyone sorted out this idea. What seemed like a difficult case turned out to be easily solved by just changing the angle.
After a long while, the Jade Mirror Priest took the lead in nodding and said: "Very good."
Xie Wenxi praised: "If the speculation is true, then Liang Duwei has done us a great favor. , I really deserve that Miss Wen trusts you so much."
"Haha." The magic sword master looked a little gloomy and said with a smile: "Things we say here, it adds up. I'm not as good as you."
"I just got some inspiration from talking with my friends. I'm just lucky. How dare I say I'm better than you? Si Su quickly went to verify it. "Liang Yue didn't take any credit, he just asked them to act earlier.
Wen Yifan turned around immediately: "Let's go!"
Good morning.
