Chapter 1381 Only Death

"The ingredients in this bowl of medicine are very complex, and you can't tell much by just smelling it." Lin Youxie put the bowl of medicinal soup into the storage box: "I'll take it back and do more detailed research."

Jiang Wang naturally believed Lin Youxie's judgment.

It was hard for him to forget the way Lin Youxie silently prepared the medicine. The feeling of calmly enduring pain was, to a certain extent, similar to Jiang Wuqi. Lin Youxie was able to make his own medicine to suppress panic disorder. Of course, he had in-depth research on medicine.

Zheng Shangming didn't seem to be surprised. He acquiesced to Lin Youxie and put away the bowl of medicinal soup without expressing any opinions. He only patrolled the study room with cautious eyes.

Jiang Wang was standing at the door. Behind him was the bright skylight, and in front of him were two Qingpai head catchers who were busy with their own affairs.

The study is silent, but there is also a unique language describing the activities of a proud man.

Everyone who visits tries to find that special language to communicate with this study.

Including Jiang Wang himself.

His eyes fell on the two green cards, but they were scattered. I thought about a lot in one moment.

After taking a calligraphy and a book back that day, I also experienced Jiang Wuqi's three-day funeral.

This study really hasn't changed at all.

It seemed that no one had walked in during the intervening days.

He couldn't help but think...

Did Feng Gu simply mourn Jiang Wuqi and not want to touch the arrangements he had made during his lifetime, or did he want to leave something behind?

If there is any interesting information to be found in this study.

Was it left by Jiang Wuqi or by Feng Gu?

"Feng Gu committed suicide."

Lin Youxie's voice suddenly came to his ears, making Jiang Wang stunned for a moment.

He didn't know why Lin Youxie deliberately avoided Zheng Shangming and communicated quietly, but he was still shocked by the information in this sentence and couldn't help but look over.

"Be natural." Lin Youxie's voice said in his ears.

Jiang Wang then looked at Zheng Shangming naturally and fulfilled his "supervision" duty.

I don't quite understand why Lin Youxie seems to trust him more than Zheng Shangming, who has a good reputation. But Jiang Wang believed in Lin Youxie's analysis. His ability and sense of responsibility are very intuitive.

"Why do you see it?" Jiang Wang asked via voicemail.

Lin Youxie's voice continued: "Although he deliberately misled people and wanted people to think that his suicide was a perfect arrangement of the scene by the murderer. He did indeed do a good job. But it is easy to deceive others, but it is difficult to deceive yourself. He The body told me that he indeed committed suicide."

Jiang Wang recalled Lin Youxie's "famous saying" - "A corpse is made up of clues."

Completely strip away the complex relationship behind the corpse, and only get the answer from the corpse itself.

She must have studied Feng Gu's body more than once, so she could be so sure.

Just as Jiang Wang was about to speak, another voice came from his ears——

"My father is coming soon."

Zheng Shangming's voice.

At this time, the young master of the Bei Ya Captain was standing in front of the huge bookshelf opposite the desk, looking at it inch by inch... Just like Lin Youxie was also carefully inspecting Jiang Wuqi's chair.

It's hard to believe that he was also secretly talking to Jiang Wang Chuanyin.

Just three people actually opened up two "battlefields" for private chatting.

It is obvious that although Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie get along well with each other, they are not close friends.

Zheng Shangming is Zheng Shi's only son, and of course he is also a direct descendant of the emperor. To a certain extent, he represents the emperor, and of course, he also has the interests of his Zheng family in the inspection office.

Where is Lin Youxie?

Does she represent the four declining Qingpai families, or herself?

"Why did he do this?"

Jiang Wang first sent a message to Lin Youxie, and then sent a message to Zheng Shangming: "Congratulations."

Although this kind of congratulatory words made it a bit strange to be sneaky, but when faced with the topic that Zheng Shangming suddenly opened, there was really nothing else to say.

In particular, what Lin Youxie was saying at the moment was really exciting, so he just ignored Zheng Shangming and settled the matter.

Lin Youxie's voice continued to ring in his ears: "Feng Gu was very aware of Beiya's ability to handle cases, and knew that it was difficult to disguise without leaving any trace, and that after his death, he would no longer be able to control anyone. So he simply gave up on his own He had tampered with the body and simply hanged himself. With only a meaningful suicide note, he created a perfect illusion of murder. As for his purpose...his death will ultimately lead people to suspect something. , What is his purpose? He wants to use his death to let Beiya find other things."

Zheng Shangming sent a message almost at the same time, and he got straight to the point: "Brother Jiang, are you interested in the position of Captain of Beiya? Your current cultivation level is just right. If you want to sit in this position, we will fully support you."

He didn't say what he wanted in return. For him to come forward to talk to Jiang Wang about this matter was that he had already laid out the conditions. The Zheng family supports Jiang Wang now, so of course they will also support Zheng Shangming when Jiang Wang resigns.

Jiang Wang was silent for a while.

Lin Youxie and Zheng Shangming both continued what they were doing. No one urged them, and they both felt that Jiang Wang was thinking seriously...

Jiang Wang was indeed thinking, but he was not just thinking about one question.

He was communicating privately with two people at the same time, and the conversation was so dense with information that it was difficult for him to figure out the context at once.

The first is the problem of Lin Youxie.

Jiang Wang sent a message and replied: "What do you think...Feng Gu wants Beiya to investigate?"

Then there is what Zheng Shangming said.

It must be said that no one would not be tempted by the position of Bei Ya Duwei.

It is only the fourth rank in terms of job rank. But the power that this position can actually control is close to those bigwigs in the Political Affairs Hall and the Military Affairs Hall!

This official position, called "Duwei of the Capital Inspection Office and Ducheng Inspection Envoy", has the function of commanding the national Qingpai and pursuing the Eastern Region without hindrance. Coupled with the four words "directly under the emperor", the political energy that can be unleashed is difficult to describe simply.

It can be said to be a model of low position with great power, and it is the highest peak that a cultivator in the Outer Building Realm can climb in Qi!

It is no secret that Zheng Shijiang will leave office. At his age and state, if he does not advance to the Divine Arrival, it will affect his future practice.

There are countless people in the court and the country who are eyeing this position. The last time Zhang Weiyu suddenly attacked Jiang Wang in the court and personally led a team to Qingyang Town for investigation is a vivid example.

Many people have directly regarded Jiang Wang as a competitor. With the reminder of Chong Xuansheng, Jiang Wang is not without expectations.

He just didn't expect Zheng Shangming to suddenly bring up this matter under such circumstances, and to express it so directly.

After thinking about it, he decided to discuss it with Chong Xuansheng first. The voice transmission replied: "This is too sudden, I need to think about it."

Lin Youxie's voice sounded at this time, and he analyzed in an orderly manner: "Feng Gu was a person in the palace of Jiang Wuqi's biological mother, Concubine Lei. After Concubine Lei died, he turned to serve Jiang Wuqi. What else can make him willing to risk his life to promote the investigation?"

"Of course." Zheng Shangming's voice also came back: "But if you are interested in the position of Beiya Duwei, today's case is a good opportunity."

Voice transmission came here, and voice transmission went there.

If Jiang Wang had not possessed the state of voice hearing and had a good control of voice, it would have been difficult for him to deal with it.

But the shock in his heart was really hard to describe!

He recalled what Feng Gu said in front of the screen wall on the day of Jiang Wuqi's funeral-

"His Highness has gotten what he wanted, but what I, an old dog, want has not yet been realized."

Everything is connected...

Feng Gu did not hesitate to die to create the illusion of being murdered. He wanted to restart the investigation of the assassination of Concubine Lei in the 38th year of Yuanfeng, and find out the real murderer of that year!

He called himself just an old dog, but after Jiang Wuqi's death, he had no scruples and must bite off a piece of flesh and blood from his enemy!

Jiang Wang suppressed the waves in his heart and sent a voice to Lin Youxie: "In this case, there must be clues left in Changsheng Palace that can be directly linked to the assassination of Concubine Lei that year. Right?"

He sent a voice to Zheng Shangming again: "What opportunity?"

Lin Youxie's voice came back quickly: "There is no other explanation. I hope you can help me. This clue needs to be in my hands."

"Why?" Jiang Wang asked back.

No wonder Lin Youxie sent a voice privately and made it mysterious. It turned out that she wanted to leave Zheng Shangming aside and grasp this clue alone. But why did she think that he would help her instead of Zheng Shangming, who was more friendly with her?

Zheng Shangming's voice also sounded at this time: "Because the background of this case is very complicated, it is far from being as simple as it appears now, and it involves many issues. The future Beiya Duwei needs to show the ability to handle complex relationships and show his attitude to the emperor!"

In the communication with Lin Youxie, Jiang Wang has realized how complicated the death of Feng Gu is. Therefore, it is difficult to understand why Zheng Shangming took over this case and why Zheng Shi agreed to let Zheng Shangming take charge.

For such a complicated case involving palace affairs, it is difficult for the person in charge to get away with it. Historical tragedies are not uncommon, and smart people should stay away from it.

The death of Concubine Lei has been unresolved for so many years. How complicated is it?

The intricate entanglement behind it is like a deep sea. It is chilling to think about it. How many people have to drown to be finished?

Zheng Shangming had the background to avoid this vortex, but he stepped into it!

Why is that?

As soon as Zheng Shangming said this, he understood it completely.

The position of Bei Ya Du Wei is only responsible to the emperor, and the only thing needed is the emperor's trust.

Zheng Shangming took the initiative to take charge of this case, which was to show his loyalty to the emperor. He is also like his father, loyal to the emperor, not afraid of offending anyone, and not even afraid of being crushed to pieces.

Similarly, Jiang Wang must have the awareness of daring to bite anyone, so that he can be recognized by the emperor and sit on the throne of Bei Ya Du Wei first.

So Zheng Shangming said that this case is an opportunity.

This is indeed an opportunity... a fascinating and dangerous opportunity.

"I probably understand..." Jiang Wang responded to Zheng Shangming through voice transmission: "I'll think about it."

Lin Youxie's voice sounded again: "Because... before the death of the eleventh prince, Changsheng Palace has always taken good care of me."

Jiang Wang frowned and thought, what is the reason?

He replied: "If it is true as you said, there is such a clue in Changsheng Palace. What is the difference between holding it in your hand and holding it in Zheng Shangming's hand? If we only seek the truth, wouldn't it be clearer if we witness it together?"

Lin Youxie had already checked Jiang Wuqi's desk at this time, stood up and walked towards the bookshelf with calligraphy and paintings, and at the same time sent a message to Jiang Wang: "An hour before Feng Gu committed suicide, someone placed something in front of my door."

For some reason, Jiang Wang immediately thought of what Li Youjiu had said when he heard this description...

After Lin Kuang died, someone threw his body directly in front of Lin Youxie, who was three years old at the time, causing her to suffer from panic disorder. As the heir of the Qingpai family, she couldn't face the corpse...

"What is it?" Jiang Wang asked.

Lin Youxie's fingers slid across the bookshelf, and the voice that came was very calm: "A knife used for dissecting corpses... There is my father's unique mark on it, and it is an artifact he lost back then."

Jiang Wang's hair stood up instantly.

Feng Gu's death was far more complicated than he had imagined. Not only was there a possibility of involving the case of Concubine Lei, but it could also involve the famous detective Lin Kuang back then?

"You mean..."

"My father died and his name was lost because of investigating the case of Concubine Lei." Lin Youxie said in a calm voice: "And all I have been seeking and investigating for so many years is nothing more than this."

The death of Lin Kuang in the past has always been kept secret by those who knew about it.

So it was because he was involved in the palace secret case of the assassination of Concubine Lei?

If Lin Youxie's statement was only speculative at the beginning, after combining it with Lin Kuang's dissecting knife in the past, the target of Feng Gu's suicide could not be clearer.

The death of the chief eunuch in Changsheng Palace by hanging himself was a sensational case in itself.

The reason behind it was even more terrifying, and it was traced back to the history of 17 years, all the way to the 38th year of Yuanfeng. It involved the death of Concubine Lei, the cold poison in Jiang Wuqi's life... and the death of the famous detective Lin Kuang!

This was a major case that could shake the entire Qi State!

To be more serious, its development is likely to affect the political structure of the entire Great Qi Empire.

Just think about it, how many people in the entire Qi State can kill Concubine Lei and suppress so many things?

Which one is not high and mighty!

No wonder Feng Gu said in his suicide note - "I am old and humble, and my death is not a pity. I can close my coffin."

He knew that his death might not cause any waves.

This was just his last effort.

There is no other way, only death.

"You don't believe Zheng Shangming?" Jiang Wang asked with difficulty.

Lin Youxie said: "I don't believe anyone in the inspection office."

That's right. Lin Kuang must have found out something back then, and there must be someone behind the murder in the inspection office, otherwise how could a famous and powerful detective like Lin Kuang suddenly die?

Died in an unclear way.

So Wu Lie, who was close to Lin Kuang and was known as the north and south, would resign directly...

In such a matter, how could Lin Youxie dare to believe the people in the inspection office?

"But you actually believe me?" Jiang Wang asked.

"Because you are really a trustworthy person." Lin Youxie said.

She said it very calmly.

But for such a person who was wary of the entire Qi inspection office and even the officialdom because of his father's death, the trust she gave was really heavy!
