Chapter 513 Support

Early the next morning, Shen Hao didn't go to the criminal department to look for the autopsy report that the Eagle Eyes wanted to make, but went to the public house to look for Jiang Cheng. In his opinion, Qin Xiuyuan's case is not that complicated. What is complicated is the chain reaction behind this case. He needs to know what Jiang Cheng thinks now.

As soon as he arrived, Shen Hao heard from the concierge that the governor was already waiting for him.

"You're here? It's early. Has the case been settled? I heard that someone from the Ministry of Criminal Justice has already handed in a file. You didn't come empty-handed, did you?" Jiang Cheng was already drinking tea. , obviously it's been a while.

"My lord, there is a preliminary clue to the case, but the file is not easy to write, and I would like your advice."

Jiang Cheng nodded with a smile, and waved his hand to signal Shen Hao to speak directly.

"According to your instructions, the case is independently investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but they are given the title of sponsor."

"Stop, have I told you so?" Jiang Cheng smiled.

Shen Hao also smiled, cupped his hands and said: "If your lord says there is no, then there is no."

"Hahaha, good boy, you are clever. Tell me what you found."

"Returning to my lord, Qin Xiuyuan was probably poisoned to death. Someone tampered with his gum bottle in advance, poured out the normal gum, and left one mixed with poison or disguised as gum The poison, and then took Qin Xiuyuan's life. In addition, the subordinates estimate that this poison is probably some kind of poison pill that causes suffocation or has a similar suffocation effect, rather than ordinary pills that leave poison residue in the body."

"You mean that the clerk at the Ministry of Punishment couldn't find anything?"

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate thinks so."

Jiang Cheng was noncommittal, but Shen Hao's deduction ability has always been obvious to all, and he rarely made mistakes, so he still believes in Shen Hao's judgment for the time being.

"Who did it?" This is what Jiang Cheng is most concerned about.

"I don't know, but according to the maximization of benefits, it should be someone from Qin Xiuyuan's clan who did it."

"The Qin family killed their own people?"

"Yes, in this way, the motives are all explained. And it is also completely in line with Qin Xiuyuan's death method."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, my lord, it is not difficult to figure out the case itself. I believe that if the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has all the information about the cause and effect like me, it can quickly come to a conclusion. Of course, there is another person who may be a member of the civil service group. Help the Qin family, but it will be a lot of trouble and lack some necessary conditions for completion."

"What about the evidence?"

Shen Hao had a hesitant expression on his face, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "My lord, do we really want to keep investigating this case?"

"Then why not? Someone didn't want Qin Xiuyuan to talk, maybe it was someone from the Qin family or the civil official group you guessed did it, or it could be someone else. The result is that we, Xuan Qingwei, should have been thoroughly washed. Only half of the stains on him have been washed away, and the person who took Qin Xiuyuan's life is trying to make things difficult for us Xuan Qingwei.

Since you went with us, how can you be polite to him? check! Check it out! "

"In this case, King Shou's reaction has to be taken into consideration."

"Shouwang?"

"Yes, my lord. Once the investigation is in-depth, it is impossible for King Shou to stay out of the matter as he is now. Qin Xiuyuan was brought out of Qin's residence from hiding, and now he died in his residence. It is inevitable to investigate, for sure. It will be included in the file, I am afraid that King Shou will be hated."

Shen Hao's meaning was very clear, he needed a clear order from Jiang Cheng before he dared to investigate, otherwise it would be very difficult for him to face the oppression of a prince alone.

Jiang Cheng frowned upon hearing this.

Indeed, these lords were indeed masters that the Xuan Qing guards did not want to deal with all the time. This time up to now, the commander has only sent a note to the other party for inquiries, and there has been no direct contact at all. Now if we dig deeper into the case, King Shou can't ignore it. At that time, it will definitely involve the issue of holding King Shou accountable.

If it was easier to handle in the past, we should be held accountable as we should. But now is an extraordinary period, and His Majesty deliberately allows these princes to fight each other, which becomes more subtle.

"If you have any other ideas, please tell them together." Jiang Cheng glared at the kid in front of him, obviously coming here early in the morning was not for a report but to ask for conditions. But he was careless before, and his words were on the right track, so listen first before speaking.

"My lord, if you think this matter is difficult, we can change the method, but the credit may be compromised." Shen Hao thought about it all night last night. He didn't know how many brain cells were wasted. What Cheng is worried about, he has a way to deal with it.

"What kind of replacement?"

"My lord, this subordinate was fortunate enough to meet the person from the Criminal Department's Major Case Department yesterday. The iron-faced Xue Gui is full of righteousness, his eyes are like knives and halberds, and he looks like a person who hates evil and hatred. In addition, this case is organized by the Criminal Department. You see Or give the credit for "discovering that King Shou is harboring criminals" to this tough-faced thousand households?"

Jiang Cheng was slightly taken aback, and then the corners of his mouth turned up: "Are you so sure that Xue Gui will take over?"

"Although this subordinate has only met Xue Qianhu once, he still admires him. Regardless of whether Xue Qianhu accepts the credit or not, his subordinates are ready to give it to him. Xue Qianhu won't mind if he comes."

"confident?"

"Yes." Shen Hao was absolutely sure about giving someone bad medicine. But this kind of offending the prince and pouring dirty water on the punishment department must not be done by himself. Jiang Cheng must nod to do it. This rule cannot be missed.

Hearing that Shen Hao should be, Jiang Cheng's thoughts also came alive. Indeed, it is the best way to throw things that may tear you apart with King Shou on others.

"Tell me carefully."

Shen Hao didn't stay in Jiang Cheng's office for too long. He revealed his plan completely. There may be some adjustments in the details, but generally there will be no discrepancies. After Jiang Cheng listened to it, he finally made a decision. , agreed to the plan.

"My lord, where are we going now?" Wang Yiming found a carriage and waited at the door.

"Where is Xue Gui now? Shouwang Mansion? Where is Qin Xiuyuan's body?"

"Returning to my lord, Qin Xiuyuan's body was transported back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment this morning. Xue Gui has not gone to the Shouwang Mansion so far, so it should be in the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Go and find him."

Shen Hao got into the carriage and drove towards the Ministry of Punishment.

When Shen Hao arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he found that the place was much more brilliant than he had imagined. In the tall gate, the two stone beasts at the gate are as tall as a person, and there are mana fluctuations on the stone beasts.

"Stop coming!"

The car had just stopped, and Shen Hao was stopped by a loud shout as soon as he got off. He turned his head and saw a government servant coming out of the checkpoint, who seemed to be a head arrester.

"This is my badge. I want to see Mr. Xue, the head of the Department of Major Cases."
