Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 32: Qijiawu

"Let me tell you, this case is definitely related to Qijiawu!" Xu Zun said in public, "It is impossible for the Taoist priest to appear in the Temple of Longevity for no reason!"

"Oh? Qijiawu?"

Luo Wanwan, Qiu Yongnian, Zhao Yu and others frowned.

"Yes!" Xu Zun said solemnly, "This case can't be wrong! In order to kill someone, the murderer did not hesitate to build an iron coffin, which shows that it must be a revenge!
"Perhaps, some horrific crime happened in Qijiawu more than 30 years ago! This is the victim who came to seek revenge!"

"This..." Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "Master Xu, what kind of revenge are you looking for? Why can't I understand?"

"Don't you understand?" Xu Zun said confidently, "The Taoist priest was the culprit back then, and Mr. Liu Zhang may also be related to this case!"

"Hmph! What nonsense!" Sure enough, when he heard someone slandering Liu Zhang, Luo Xiancheng immediately turned his eyes to Xu Zun, "I said that after serving as director Liu for so many years, he is honest and upright, and has never done any harm. People's business!"

"You said that he has been in office for so many years," Xu Zun said, "How do you know that he is absolutely innocent?"

"You? You..." Luo Xiancheng was annoyed, "Director Liu has been in office for many years, but he has been in office for more than 20 years, while Qijiawu has been abandoned for more than 30 years.

"That is to say, when Director Liu took office, Qijiawu was already in ruins! What does it matter?"

"Master Liu is nearly sixty years old," Xu Zun replied unceremoniously, "Are you sure you know what he did before he took office?"

"You!?" Luo Xiancheng stared at his eyes in anger, and his beard seemed to explode.

"You don't need to get angry, it's just a hypothesis!" Xu Zun turned his head and said to everyone, "Didn't you find it? From Qijiawu to Zhangqiao, you only need to turn over a mountain to get there, and there is a winding The mountain road is passable, which is very convenient for the murderer to implement the plan!
"Also, as you have seen, the Taoist priest's body is full of old wounds from torture, which shows that he was subjected to inhuman abuse during his lifetime, so the murderer must be venting his hatred!"

This……

Xu Zun's words were so convincing that everyone had to rethink.

"But, Jiying..." Magistrate Qiu thought of something, and said, "If it's as you judged, how can you explain the iron coffin case two years ago, those 37 corpses..."

"My lord," Xu Zun interrupted without waiting for Qiu Yongnian to finish, "Let's take care of our eyes first!
"We cannot conclude that the two iron coffin cases must be committed by the same group!
"Maybe the avenger deliberately imitated it, or, as long as we find out the truth about the iron coffin case now, the case two years ago will also be revealed?"

"This……"

Although what Xu Zun said made some sense, based on what everyone knew about Xu Zun himself, they still had doubts.

"Master Qiu, haven't you discovered the key to this case?" Xu Zun said excitedly again, "As long as we can find out whether there was a super big case in Qijiawu 30 years ago, and prove that this big case and that The Taoist priest is related to Mr. Liu, so we can follow the clues to find the murderer!

"This kind of movie, oh no, I've seen too many cases like this before!" Xu Zun said again, "The family members of the victim in that big case are the murderers of today's iron coffin case!

"Also, according to the direction of the plot, um... no, I mean, judging from experience, there may be other accomplices in that big case. Maybe the murderer's revenge is still going on, and people will die!"

"..."

"..."

Those words left everyone dumbfounded and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Everyone wants to say, what kind of experience does Xu Zun have at such a young age?However, his analysis seems to be well-founded and difficult to refute.

As a result, the scene was dead silent, and no one spoke.

"Then..." After 45 seconds of silence, Qiu Yongnian asked Xu Zun after serious thinking, "Jiying, how do you want to check?"

"Does it need to be said?" Xu Zun clenched his fists excitedly, "Send all the people to focus on investigating the big Qijiawu case that has been going on for decades!"

"But...but..." At this moment, Zhao Yu, the head catcher, couldn't sit still anymore, he wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and wanted to say something to Xu Zun.

However, Xu Zun, who was in high spirits, gave him an order directly:
"Captain Zhao, a group of people is going to investigate the big case in Qijiawu; a group of people is going to investigate the identity of a Taoist priest; a group of people is going to investigate the relationship between Master Liu and Qijiawu!
"Also," Xu Zun said again, "you have to send a group of people to check the county annals with me to see if there is any record in the county annals!?"

"But...but..." However, Zhao Yu still seemed to have objections, and even raised his hand.

"Captain Zhao, hurry up and do as I say!" Xu Zun suppressed him again, and ordered in an irrefutable tone, "When investigating old cases, mainly ask the elderly over 80 years old in Qijiawu; investigate Taoist priests. You can trace the origin of that jade pendant; there is also Master Liu, look through the corners of his house to see if there is a secret hidden there? I don’t need to teach you these anymore, right?”

"This... this..." Zhao Yu was still hesitating.

"Captain Zhao," finally Qiu Yongnian said, "Just do what Ji Ying said! It's not too late. If Ji Ying is right, it will be a first-time feat!"

"This... alright!" Zhao Yu had no choice but to forcefully swallow his own thoughts, clasped his hands in agreement, and then led his subordinates to assign tasks.

"Jiying," Qiu Yongnian said to Xu Zun again, "Master Liu is no longer here, and the manpower is so tight, let Yao Jin accompany you to look at those county chronicles! He has helped Master Liu before, so he should be able to help. busy!"

"Okay, that's great!" Xu Zun cupped his fists, "It's not too late, I'll go now!"

"Then... you guys go and investigate first!" Qiu Yongnian said again, "I will discuss something with Luo Xiancheng, and after the discussion is over, I will go over to help!"

"it is good!"

Xu Zun saluted and exited the inner hall together with Master Yao Jin...

"Hmph, little boy with a yellow mouth, you can't do things well!" As soon as Xu Zun left, Luo Wanwan couldn't wait to complain, "That's right, if he can solve such a big case, the sun will come out from the west Already!"

"Luo Xiancheng doesn't have to worry about Jiying," Qiu Yongnian persuaded, "Don't forget, if the iron coffin case is really the same as it was two years ago, and the higher authorities convict us, we still count on Mr. Shen to speak for us Woolen cloth!"

"Oh, it's true! Just a word to wake up the dreamer!" Luo Xiancheng suddenly realized, "Yongnian is still thoughtful! If the former county lieutenant had a good father-in-law like Xu Zun, he would not have ended up like this It's the end of a foreign land!"

"However..." Qiu Yongnian said again, "Jiying is not yet married after all, the most urgent thing is that we still need to clarify this fatal case!
"Oh," he sighed, "I'm lucky enough to encounter this kind of case when I first took office!"

"Hey? Yongnian," Luo Xiancheng persuaded, "what are you worried about? You are a Jinshi Hanlin, a student of the emperor, if you can't solve the case, you won't be blamed!
"Also, if you think about it from another angle, what if you can solve this case? A stumbling block, wouldn't it be a bridge to the sky?"

"Hehe, my lord, don't make fun of me!" Qiu Yongnian smiled wryly, "If such a mysterious case could be solved, it would have been solved two years ago!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Luo Xiancheng said, "Let's check it out, maybe there is a turning point! Later, I will go to see the iron coffin. By the way, I will also have a look at the Taoist priest and Master Liu. ..."

"Okay," Qiu Yongnian nodded, and asked casually, "By the way, Mr. Luo, I want to ask, who took away the iron coffin and those 37 corpses two years ago?"

"Hey, this is it," Luo Xiancheng first looked at the two sides, and then replied in a low voice after seeing that there was no one on both sides, "At first I thought it was the people from the Governor's Mansion who took it away!
"But the more I thought about it later, the more wrong it became, because when the iron coffin was carried away, the governor also looked helpless, no, to be precise, it should be a particularly frightened look!

"So..." Luo Xiancheng pointed to the sky lightly, and said, "I suspect that the one who took away the iron coffin in the end should be from the palace..."
