Chapter 68 What Should Be Done
Huang Feng nodded: "I hope this is the inference closest to the truth, but I don't rule out the possibility of being killed in two other places."
The other two places were guarded, and the guards on duty at the time said that Duan Shaohu had never been there.
"You mean, someone lied?" Duan Mingyan couldn't believe it.
"It is very possible that when it comes to military supplies, the most likely problems are nothing more than shoddy goods and enriching one's own pockets. None of these can be done by one person." Huang Feng slowly analyzed, "There is no war, and the army has regular meals. Quantitative, replenish once every six months. If too much is missing, it will be easily discovered.
If it is shoddy, the grain and grass are mainly corn, which can be stored for a long time. Unless there are bad ones in the middle, you can't make much difference in price by replacing the newly produced corn with the corn that has been stored for two or three years.
As for other food, has food spoiled or soldiers been poisoned in Anyuguan in recent years? "
Duan Mingyan shook her head: "I haven't heard of it. I'll ask later."
"In addition to food and grass, there are weapons and armor."
As soon as Huang Feng spoke, Li Motang said: "These weapons and armors were transported here from the Ordnance Supervision. Daxia has very strict supervision of the Ordnance Supervision. In order to prevent the Ordnance Supervision from colluding with the army and enriching their own pockets, officials will be rotated every year. Accounts It will also be strictly investigated.”
Duan Mingyan also followed up and said: "Weapons and armor are used in daily training. The generals at Anyuguan have fought many battles. If the weapons and armor are defective, it is impossible not to notice them."
Huang Feng smiled and said, "That's right. When a batch of weapons is delivered, they won't be shoddy, but what about when they are sent away?"
Hearing this, both Duan Mingyan and Li Motang were stunned. As for Xiao Nuan, she never kept up with the train of thought. She was only responsible for opening her eyes wide and nodding vigorously to enhance the atmosphere!
Huang Feng continued: "If I remember correctly, in border areas where drills like this are constant and wars often occur, a large number of weapons and armors will be damaged every year.
These weapons have to be remanufactured. If some of them are falsely reported when transported back, and intact weapons are mixed with them, and replaced with inferior ones on the way, the weapons supervisor will not care too much about these scrapped weapons. ?
The weapons in Guanzhong are constantly updated, and no one pays attention to them. Unexpectedly, your second brother is meticulous and must have noticed something during the escort. "
After hearing what he said, Duan Mingyan realized that it was really possible: "I'll go tell grandpa right now."
Huang Feng didn't stop him, but just reminded him: "Remember to tell the general alone and don't alert the enemy."
"I know." Duan Mingyan left quickly.
Seeing that Huang Feng was not in a hurry to leave and looked around, Li Motang asked, "Do you have something to hide?"
Huang Feng was puzzled: "What are you hiding?"
Li Motang stared at him: "I think you have already thought of the murderer."
Huang Feng admitted: "There are candidates, but no evidence."
"Who?" Li Motang asked.
"I usually don't talk nonsense without evidence. Let's wait for a while. Wait two days and let me think about it carefully." Huang Feng perfunctorily went over and suddenly squatted down and touched the dent on the ground. It seemed that he had been hit hard by something. It looks like something has crushed it.
After thinking for a while, he stood up and asked Li Motang: "Go to the Jiazhang warehouse and the granary?"
"good."
We went to the Jiazhan warehouse and the granary together, and after checking them all, Li Motang asked again: "What did you find?"
"No." Huang Feng shook his head.
Without evidence, the first thing he thought of was to fish for law enforcement, pretend that he couldn't find the murderer, and go about business as usual. When the next time he was transporting military supplies, he would quietly ambush to see if he could catch the stolen goods together.
However, military supplies are only replenished once every six months. If the time delay is too long, it will definitely not work.
There is another problem. This incident is definitely not the work of one person. Even if the fishing law enforcement catches the person who secretly changed weapons, it does not necessarily mean that the other person is the murderer.
"What else can we do?" Huang Feng suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and asked Li Motang, "Do you want to take a gamble?"
"How to bet?"
Huang Feng whispered: "Didn't you say that there are many special interrogation methods in the Demon Collection Department? Is there any way to summon the souls of the dead?"
"Yes, yes, this is a ghost method, and it is generally not used. Whether it is the people of Daxia or the soldiers, they pay attention to being buried in the earth and reincarnating as soon as possible. If they are forced to stay in the world, they will turn into fierce ghosts.
Whether it is forcibly refining the soul or recalling the soul from the underworld, it is blasphemy against the dead, and Duan Hong may not agree.
And after a person dies, there are two best times to recall the soul. One is within three sticks of incense, which goes without saying.
The second is the first seven days. It is said that the soul will go home before reincarnation. Now that Duan Shaohu has passed the first seven days, it is very difficult to bring back his soul. "
Huang Feng reminded her: "Who said it has to be true."
Li Motang reacted quickly: "You want to deceive the murderer?"
"No? If the murderer finds out, he will find a way to stop us."
"It's a good idea to trick the murderer out, but I don't think the murderer will fall for this method of bringing back the soul."
"Indeed, the murderer was very meticulous in his actions. In order to hide the truth, he used many methods to confuse the public and made it difficult for him to take the bait." Huang Feng also felt that this method was not safe enough. "After thinking about it for a day, I am a little tired, so I will go back to rest first. "
"Yes." Li Motang responded, still following Huang Feng's thoughts and thinking about how to defraud the murderer.
When Huang Feng left, Li Motang found Xiao Nuan, who had not spoken for a day. He looked at her with a smile and asked doubtfully: "Why are you laughing?"
Xiao Nuan blinked and said, "Miss, you and Mr. Huang have such a tacit understanding."
"Bah!" Li Motang spat, turned around and left.
Xiao Nuan followed her: "Miss, did you know that Young Master Huang was here early in the morning? This is not the first time."
"Coincidence." Li Motang refused to admit it.
Xiao Nuan protested: "Miss, do you think Xiao Nuan is stupid?"
Li Motang looked back at her: "No, I didn't think you were stupid."
"Really?" Xiao Nuan was very happy when she heard this answer.
If Huang Feng were there, he would definitely tell her that your lady didn't think you were stupid because you are really stupid!
One night passed, and there was not much movement in Anyuguan.
Zhou Shilang continued to investigate the case with the criminal arrest. In order to solve the case as soon as possible, Huang Feng heard that many people were interrogated that night, but it seemed that nothing was found.
Duan Mingyan came to him early: "I have already told my grandfather about your inference. This is a major matter, related to the reputation of the Duan family, and he will investigate it personally.
By the way, did you find anything else after I left last night? "
"Not yet." Huang Feng shook his head.
Duan Mingyan is not too disappointed. After all, the clues discovered last night have exceeded the many days they have been busy in vain: "My grandfather said that except for some places involving important secrets, you can pass freely, as long as you can find out the murderer My second brother’s murderer, the Duan family owes you a favor.”
Huang Feng said quickly: "Don't worry, my eldest brother said that the Duan family guards the gates for the people and is more considerate for you. This is what we should do."
Sun Xiufu, who was still in trance, opened his eyes and looked over, always feeling that his junior brother wanted to trick him.
