Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 9 Just Right
"Oh!!" Zhao Yu turned pale with shock, and hurriedly defended, "Sir, don't talk nonsense! If I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do that, that guy... that guy really committed suicide in fear of crime!"

"is it?"

Xu Zun stared at Zhao Yu's eyes, staring straight at Zhao Yu's heart.

"My lord," Zhao Yu quickly explained, "Just now, my brothers and I were eating noodles outside, and everyone can testify to me!"

"Then tell me, what happened just now?" Xu Zun asked.

"Just now..." Zhao Yu replied, "I came to Nanjian after I sent you to the county government office. The meal time is over, and the brothers are hungry, so I asked someone to prepare a few bowls of Yangchun noodles. I plan to interrogate you after eating." Dalang! I didn't expect..."

"When you came to the prison, You Dalang was still alive?" Xu Zun asked.

"Alive, of course!" Zhao Yu replied, "Because he was going to be interrogated, he was locked in the inner cell and watched by two jailers. I went over to take a look at it at the time, and he was alive and well."

The so-called inner prison refers to the place where the prison is used to detain serious offenders.

"Later, those two idiots were anxious to urinate and left for a while!" Zhao Yu continued, "When they went back, they found that the person was already dead, and it was time for a cup of tea!"

The time for a cup of tea is roughly equal to 10 minutes.

Xu Zun thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "During the process of the two of them leaving, who else has been to the inner prison?"

"No!" Zhao Yu was very sure, "There is only one way to go to the inner prison. At that time, we had been eating noodles outside. If someone went in, it would be impossible not to know."

"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "Is there something wrong with these two jailers?"

"Ah!?" Zhao Yu heard what Xu Zun meant, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "My lord, it's absolutely impossible! You know their rules, the key to the cell is always on the prisoner's body, they can't open the door at all what!"

Oh?
Xu Zun retrieved the memory, and sure enough, as Zhao Yu said, because of fear that the prisoners would snatch the keys through the fence, the keys of the recidivist cells would not be kept on the guards, and all the keys were under the unified control of the cell boss.

"Then..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Where's the cell boss?"

"The cell boss is still eating outside! He ordered our Yangchun noodles," Zhao Yu explained. "After we found out that You Dalang had committed suicide, we saw that the door couldn't be opened, so we simply broke the lock!"

Xu Zun saw that the big lock of the cell was broken open by someone.

Seeing this situation, he fell into thought again.

In the beginning, the reason why he bluffed Zhao Yu was because if You Dalang committed homicide, the murderer must be someone who is powerful and has martial arts skills.

Among all the arresters, only Zhao Yu was the most suitable.

However, according to Zhao Yu's confession, he did not have the conditions to commit the crime.

Now, the lock has not been moved, and the cell cannot be entered. Could it be... You Dalang really just committed suicide! ?
"My lord!" Zhao Yu said, "Aren't you worrying too much? Isn't it just right that You Dalang is dead? In this way, he won't talk nonsense!

"You don't know, this guy has a bad mouth, when he first came in, he kept saying bad things about you and Chun Niang.

"Because of this, I put him in the inner prison. Anyway, there is no one here, let him shout enough!"

"Really?"

Xu Zun's heart sank, and he suddenly thought of a question, since You Dalang still wanted to slander himself, why would he commit suicide in prison?

And more importantly, if he had already made up his mind to commit suicide, why didn't he commit suicide in front of the jailer, instead of running into a wall when no one was around?

strange!
It is so strange!

From the tryst with Chunniang, to Chunniang's death, to being framed, and You Dalang's inexplicable suicide in prison, this series of events is very abnormal.

However, he didn't catch anything.

Is it because I think too much, or is there really something hidden behind it?
"My lord," Zhao Yu asked, "Why did you send someone to seal off the silk and satin village? Is it... eh? Hehehe..."

Zhao Yu didn't say the latter words, but from his flattering eyes, he could guess that he probably thought that Xu Zun was thinking about You Dalang's family property!
You Dalang had no relatives and no reason in Xinye County. Now that the couple are both dead, the family property will naturally be confiscated.

As for how much to charge to the public at that time, it is natural that Xu Zun, the county captain, has the final say.

When Zhao Yu asked this question, he must also want to get a share of it.

However, why would Xu Zun think so much?
If the case is not investigated, he will never be at ease.

"Captain Zhao," Xu Zun asked after pondering for a moment, "Is it true that if you want to get to the inner prison, you have to come from the row of cells in front?"

"This..." Zhao Yu stepped in without knowing it, nodded and replied, "Yes, there is only one way here!"

"Then go ask the prisoners in that row of cells now," Xu Zun ordered, "see if they saw other people entering the inner cell just now?"

"This... alright!" Zhao Yu frowned and replied reluctantly.

"Also," Xu Zun said again, "Go and call those two idiots over, I have something to ask them!"

"Okay, okay..." Zhao Yu turned around and left angrily.

Xu Zun returned to the cell again, and carefully observed the crime scene again.

There are messy footprints everywhere inside and outside the cell, and the scene has been damaged.

He then focused on checking the back of You Dalang's head and collar, wanting to see if there were any traces of external force?
It turned out that the bun on the back of the head was still intact, and the collar was relatively intact, and nothing could be seen.

Afterwards, he searched You Dalang again, but still found nothing.

Comparing the collision height, there is no problem either...

Gee...

Xu Zun smacked his lips and thought, this You Dalang died so quickly, if it was a suicide, it means that his determination to die is decisive enough!
But if it was homicide, then the murderer's method was too professional, and there was no flaw at all.

So... Will there really be such a murderer?

Soon, two guards came to Xu Zun tremblingly, and told Xu Zun what happened again.

They frankly admitted their dereliction of duty, and begged Xu Zun to forgive him and not to punish them.

For this reason, the two also took out five taels of silver in an attempt to bribe Xu Zun.

Xu Zun immediately reprimanded them righteously, warning them not to be an example, and at the same time confiscated their bribe money.

Next, Xu Zun asked them an important question:
Before You Dalang died, did he show any abnormalities?
The two try their best to recall, saying that You Dalang has been cursing Xu Zun since he was imprisoned, angrily scolding him for all kinds of affairs with Chun Niang, but there is nothing unusual about the rest, without any signs.

"My lord," one of them added, "Actually... the reason why we went out to go to the toilet was because we were annoyed by that guy scolding us, so we stayed outside for so long!"

"Yes!" Another echoed, "We wanted to beat him up, but the key is with the cell boss, so we can't get in!"

Oh……

Xu Zun realized that there was a bug here. Even if the jailer saw You Dalang committing suicide by bumping into a wall, he couldn't stop him if he couldn't enter the cell!

However, this also confirmed Xu Zun's previous question again, why didn't You Dalang commit suicide in front of the jailer?
It seems...he died a little too well, right?
