Chapter 120: The reasoning behind the combination (Part 2)
"right?"
Qin Kejian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sneered when he heard Sun Shaozong was about to say the word "power". "If Lord Sun is referring to the two captains in the Detective Department, then you will probably be disappointed - after I took over this case, the first people I ruled out were them!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Jianxing and added, "Of course, the two brothers were also cleared of suspicion - otherwise I would not have discussed the case with them."
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, " I have already said that the man may not be an acquaintance of Jin Yichuan. Why is Captain Qin still targeting the Detective Department? Is there no other powerful person besides the Detective Department?"
"Outside the Detective Department?"
Qin Kejian muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly his face changed color and he blurted out: "You...are you doubting the two governors?!"
Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to reply, he swung his sleeves fiercely and shouted angrily: "Ridiculous, this is really ridiculous?!"
"It's really ridiculous. Anyway, I definitely don't dare to doubt the two governors." Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "If Jin Yichuan could come back to life, he probably wouldn't believe it either."
One on the left doesn't dare to doubt it, and the other on the right won't believe it, but who can't tell that he is speaking in a sarcastic way?
For a moment, not only Qin Kejian's face turned pale, but even Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian's faces showed a bit of uncertainty.
After all, the people under suspicion now are the highest leaders of the entire Northern Pacification Division, the fourth- rank Pacification Envoy and the fourth-rank Pacification Assistant.
If you really offend these two people, you will be like a rat crossing the street in the Northern Pacification Office, and everyone will shout and beat you!
In comparison, Sun Shaozong was much more relaxed. Firstly, he was now serving in Shuntian Prefecture, and secondly, he was protected by Dai Quan from above, so he didn't have to be too cautious about anything.
Furthermore...
"This case is ultimately supervised by Lord Qin. I am just making a few random guesses. As for whether or not to investigate, it all depends on Lord Qin's decision."
With just a few words, a heavy burden was placed on Qin Kejian's shoulders, which sounded like "I'm only responsible for starting the fire, you take the blame and you go to die."
Qin Kejian couldn't get angry, and his face turned purple. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Sun's inference is based on the fact that Jin Yichuan was the last person to die, and there is no evidence to support it!"
"Furthermore, based on what I've learned in the past few days, Jin Yichuan has only been promoted to the general flag for less than half a year, and has never been on a mission alone. If he really offended some important person while on duty, the leaders Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian should be punished!"
The previous remarks were fine, but the latter remarks made Sun Shaozong frown.
After a while, he turned his head and looked at Lu Jianxing: "Has Yichuan really never carried out an errand alone?"
"It is just as Lord Qin said." Lu Jianxing said hurriedly, "Since he was promoted to the general flag, he has been on three missions in total. I led the team twice and Shen Lian led the team once."
After a pause, he added, "Besides, Yichuan usually stays at home and rarely goes out. He probably doesn't have much chance to offend those adults in private."
"grown ups."
Shen Lian suddenly interrupted and asked, "After killing Yichuan, will the murderer attack me or my brother?"
“Not likely.”
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "First of all, this does not conform to the murderer's rule of making things more difficult for himself every time; secondly, after killing Yichuan, you two will definitely be suspicious, and it will not be so easy to succeed again."
"If it is really as Lord Qin said, it is indeed unreasonable to let the protagonist escape in order to kill a supporting role."
Then, Sun Shaozong said, "Perhaps Yichuan killed someone he shouldn't have killed, did something he shouldn't have done, or discovered some secrets while carrying out his mission..."
"wrong!"
Halfway through his speech, before anyone could question him, he shook his head and said, "If the murderer had discovered any secrets, he should have killed them immediately. There's no need to make such a fuss."
After a pause, he continued, "It's more likely that he killed the wrong person, or did something he shouldn't have done."
After hearing what Sun Shaozong said, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Sir, we know that the court is full of complicated relationships, so we usually only dare to fabricate some people without status - among those guards and servants, there won't be any relatives of big shots, right?"
Tsk~
Could it be that my reasoning this time was completely wrong?
After being questioned so many times in a row, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but feel a little shaken. After all, it was just a rough conclusion, so it was normal to have some problems.
So he discussed it with the three of them again, but seeing that they still couldn't come to the point, he had no choice but to return with disappointment instead of coming with high hopes.
When they arrived outside the Northern Pacification Office, seeing Sun Shaozong about to get on his horse, Shen Lian suddenly grabbed the reins and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you have any suspicions in your mind?"
"Well..."
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, but still said frankly: "I did have some doubts about your commander-in-chief."
"You doubt Mr. Qian? Why?"
"Because of the young lady of the He family."
Sun Shaozong shrugged and said, "Back then, your Lord Qian was willing to break the rules of the Pacification Bureau for her, which shows that he is obsessed with her. If the young lady is determined to take revenge, she may be able to persuade him to do it!"
"But we were sent by the emperor at that time!"
Shen Lian frowned and said, "Besides, it was my elder brother who led the team that day, and I was the one who took the lead when we arrested her. If we really want to take revenge, it won't be Yichuan's turn!"
"That's why I didn't say anything just now."
Sun Shaozong spread his hands helplessly: "After all, there are still many mysteries in this case that have not been solved until now. I only got involved halfway through, so I can only put forward some hypotheses at the moment, and I can't produce any actual evidence."
After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "We may have to wait two days to confirm whether Yichuan is the last victim."
Shen Lian was silent for a while, then slowly loosened the reins.
Sun Shaozong then mounted his horse and galloped back the way he had come - he had to go to work at the government office tomorrow, and there had been no progress in the case, so he might as well go home and enjoy himself and relax first.
