Chapter 209 Hidden things
Chu Nanzhi nodded lightly: "It must be because of the rumors in the county about the death of the former two county magistrates."
"indeed so."
Tan Miao said with a smile: "But it's not just that, it's also related to the Kang family, the largest fisherman in the county."
After a pause, he continued facing the two of them: "The fishery and salt industries are the main livelihood of the people in this county. Although the head of the Kang family, Kang Mingtang, is not Kang Mingyuan's biological brother, the relationship between the two is very close. In recent years, he has been mainly responsible for collecting fishing taxes for Kang Mingyuan and exploiting fishermen, but Zhu Xiancheng is well aware of the suffering of fishermen and wants to ask for some benefits for them, so this sparked the official introduction dispute between Sun and Kang."
"Well, I've heard of these too. Although there are people who mediate, I'm afraid that these two companies want to be the champion and are unwilling to cooperate."
Chu Nanzhi nodded patiently and smiled.
Tan Miao slightly bent his lips in relief: "Since this is the case, then the conflict between the county captain Qi Luan's son Qi Dongqiang and the youngest daughter of the Sun family must be known to Mrs. Chu?"
"Not bad, I heard a little bit."
Chu Nanzhi replied calmly.
Didn’t that kid’s legs be broken and his hand broken because of this incident yesterday, which also caused his father’s death.
"I'm afraid Mrs. Chu didn't guess that the biggest suspect behind this case is actually Qi Luan's son Qi Dongqiang?"
Tan Miao showed a mysterious and arrogant smile.
"Oh?"
Chu Nanzhi was slightly surprised: Could it be that this kid is really so stupid, just as he had guessed earlier?
Tan Miao said kindly: "On the surface, Qi Dongqiang is the perpetrator who is the easiest to arouse suspicion but also the easiest to rule out. If you have a simple vision, you will think that he wants to occupy the little girl of the Sun family, so he deliberately killed her." Zhu Xiancheng planted the spoils on Sun Wuji in order to achieve his own goal.
But after thinking about it deeply, you will feel that this kid is not so reckless. After all, Qi Luan is not a stupid person. He knows that when Sun Wuji is in prison, the first thing everyone thinks of is to be framed by the Qi family, so he will definitely not do such a stupid thing. "
"Indeed, so this is why the women have never deeply suspected this person."
Chu Nanzhi replied honestly.
Tan Miao smiled disapprovingly: "However, that kid Qi Dongqiang was not at his house the night of the accident, nor was he in the so-called brothel."
Hu Maoxi was taken aback, and couldn't help interjecting: "Then where did this guy go?"
"This point is not particularly certain."
Tan Miao raised his eyebrows, and said with a bitter face: "However, according to this kid's romantic nature, I'm afraid he will defile some other young lady, so he can't show it to others."
After thinking about it, he made some uncertain guesses: "Half a month ago, I heard that the daughter of a rich family in the west of the city hanged herself, and that was the only way to Sunjia Village, and it was also the upstream of the Sunjia Village water canal. In terms of location, I once guessed that Zhu Xiancheng happened to bump into Qi Dongqiang on the way back from Sun's house and committed evil, so the two had a dispute, and Qi Dongqiang killed him and threw him into the canal."
Hearing this, Hu Maoxi raised his brows, clenched his fists and cursed, "He's just a beast, I'm only blamed for Mr. Lin not being able to kill that kid yesterday."
Gritting his teeth, he looked at Tan Miao angrily, and said angrily, "In this case, why didn't you arrest him?"
"My lord, calm down, my lord, calm down."
Tan Miao reassured him, and then continued: "This matter is just my conjecture and has no real basis. Besides, the county captain Qi Luan has been Kang Mingyuan's confidant for many years, and he also deliberately covered up this matter for this kid. Now even the household in the west of the city The victim's family never mentioned the matter of their daughter being humiliated, and the brothel also sent people to check it up and down, and they all said that Qi Dongqiang stayed in the brothel and returned the next day, and the lower officials didn't dare to ask more questions."
"Simply audacious."
Hu Maoxi froze, and shouted angrily: "Come on, let me go to the county captain's mansion immediately to arrest Qi Dongqiang and bring him to justice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sanmu and Guan Erbai, who were guarding outside the hall, led several yamen servants and left in response.
After hearing Tan Miao's words, Chu Nanzhi fell into hesitation: Could it be that the murderer is really Qi Dongqiang?
But since this is the case, why would Kang Mingyuan prefer to lose his official position rather than confess the real culprit?
How can this relationship be so strong?
Quietly took a look at Lin Jinxiao, the little boy was concentrating on looking at the booklet in his hand, turning a deaf ear to the conversation here, as if deliberately staying out of it.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Nanzhi smiled and looked at the master secretary Tan Miao: "I don't know where the Zhu County Chancellor's Lingtang is located?"
"Before considering that there might be more people coming to express their condolences, it was set up in the compound on the side of the Yandao Yamen, which is an old courtyard, which is much larger than that of the county government."
Tan Miao asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Mrs. Chu wants to re-examine the autopsy? I can go and make arrangements for Mrs. Chu."
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi hesitated a bit, suddenly with so many new clues, if Qi Dongqiang really did it, then there is no need for an autopsy.
The most important thing at the moment is to interrogate Kang Mingyuan and Qi Dongqiang. Moreover, Zhu Yue's family will be here in the next two days. Even if there is another autopsy, his family should have agreed.
After careful consideration, she replied gently: "No need, since the county has already done an autopsy, then we don't need to do anything more. Let's wait until Zhu's family arrives before making any plans."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Hu Maoxi meaningfully.
Hu Maoxi grinned and said: "Yes, it is true. Right now, I have sent someone to arrest the suspect, and there is no need for an autopsy."
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao finally couldn't help raising his eyes, and looked at the calm and beautiful lady, then lowered his head in peace of mind, and continued to check the account books.
Not long after, Li Sanmu hurried back, looked around at the people in the hall, and said with a look of panic: "I have reported to you, Qi Dongqiang committed suicide in the mansion."
"suicide?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
Chu Nanzhi quickly walked up to Li Sanmu, and asked sharply, "How can you be sure that you committed suicide?"
"The little one saw that he was still holding a dagger in his hand."
Li Sanmu replied: "Just now I asked the people in the county captain's mansion, and they said that after Qi Dongqiang was brought back to the mansion yesterday, he was in a low mood. An hour ago, the maid in his mansion went to change his medicine. After rushing to the mansion, I went to check on him and died on the bed."
"It's such a coincidence."
Chu Nanzhi sighed.
Tan Miao squinted his eyes halfway, with a pensive look on his face: "I'm afraid I heard some rumors and committed suicide in fear of crime."
Leaking the news, committing suicide in fear of crime?
Chu Nanzhi thought about it, but it is also possible. This guy has seen how powerful Lin Jinxiao is yesterday. If he really killed someone, he will naturally know the consequences.
All of this happened so suddenly, I'm afraid that when Kang Mingyuan was taken down just now, someone had already gone to the county Wei's mansion to report the news.
She looked around the crowd, and finally looked straight at the thoughtful Lin Jinxiao, and called out after deliberation: "Master Lin, please stay with Master Hu in the hall later, and I will go to the county magistrate with the yamen servants." government."
Grandma has a leg.
Master Lin's yelling was really a mouthful.
