Chapter 126: Qin Kejian
Half an hour later, Northern Pacification Office.
Sun Shaozong hurried to the door of the Detective Bureau and was about to go in to talk to Qin Kejian, Lu Jianxing and others, but as soon as he stepped onto the steps, several strong men guarding the door blocked his way.
" Master Sun, please stay."
The leading flag bearer bowed and said, "Without the order of Lord Qin, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Detective Department. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Because Zhou Da had not sent back any news, Sun Shaozong thought that last night was calm, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Where's Zhou Da?"
Sun Shaozong's eyes sharpened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is he under house arrest in the Detective Department?"
“It’s not house arrest.”
The flag remained calm and said, "Master Qin is just asking for Inspector Zhou's cooperation."
"Council?"
Sun Shaozong sneered: "You detained my people without even saying hello. Your Detective Department is really so arrogant!"
As he spoke, he raised his leg and rushed in.
"Sir, please stay!"
"My Lord, please don't embarrass us!"
The strong man guarding the gate obviously did not expect that Sun Shaozong would rush in without saying a word. Due to his status, he did not dare to use weapons and could only stretch out his hands to push and stop him.
However, the eight arms of four men, all placed on Sun Shaozong, were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Not only did they fail to stop Sun Shaozong from moving forward, but they were forced to retreat again and again!
"Sir, why are you here?!"
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I saw Zhou Da coming out from the west wing. He looked very surprised and didn't look like he had been abused.
Sun Shaozong shook his shoulders, throwing the four Dragon Guards all over the place, then frowned and asked, "What happened? Why did Qin Kejian put you under house arrest?"
"this……"
Zhou Da looked at the four Dragon Guards and hesitated for a moment before answering, "Master Qin has gone to round up the real murderer who killed Master Jin. To prevent the news from leaking, he asked his subordinates to wait here."
Qin Kejian has already found out the real murderer? !
This was really beyond Sun Shaozong's expectations. So far, he had only vaguely guessed the murderer's motive and had not found any strong evidence. He did not expect that Qin Kejian had gotten ahead of him.
"So that's what happened."
After a moment of hesitation, Sun Shaozong smiled and said, "In that case, I will wait a while and see the true face of the murderer!"
Having said that, he went straight into the guest room in the west wing.
Zhou Da naturally followed closely behind. The four Dragon Guards looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally returned to the gate in silence.
However, after entering the west wing, Sun Shaozong saw that there was no one guarding inside, so he asked in detail about what happened last night.
However, after Zhou Da arrived at the Detective Department last night, he was sent to a side room by Qin Kejian. Except for the fact that Shen Lian came over to tell him a few things when the Detective Department was mobilized in the morning, he didn't get any more information.
"What did Shen Lian say to you?"
"Master Shen only said that the murderer's surname was Ding and his name was Xiu!"
"Ding Xiu?"
——Dividing line——
"Yes, it's Ding Xiu!"
Qin Kejian slammed his sword on the table with a clang, and said with gritted teeth: "I have already overestimated this guy's skills, but I didn't expect him to escape!"
Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian stood silently on both sides, also with gloomy expressions on their faces.
However, compared with Qin Kejian's anger, they seemed a little dazed, as if they were still in a dream and had not yet awakened.
Sun Shaozong took the three people's surprised expressions into consideration, and then asked calmly, "I wonder who this Ding Xiu is?"
Then Qin Kejian said solemnly: "According to my secret investigation, Ding Xiu is Jin Yichuan's senior brother. He is highly skilled in martial arts and cunning. He is from the same school as Jin Yichuan, so he has the ability and opportunity to commit the crime!"
"And what is the motive?"
"Because he's jealous of Jin Yichuan!"
Qin Kejian said, glancing at Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian beside him, and sneered: "At this point, you are not afraid of being laughed at by Lord Sun. That Jin Yichuan - was actually impersonated by someone!"
"Impersonation?"
Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "You mean, it wasn't Jin Yichuan who died?"
"No, what I mean is that the Jin Yichuan you know is not the real Jin Yichuan. The real Jin Yichuan died several years ago, and was killed by this fake and his senior brother!"
Tsk~
No wonder Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian looked like that. Who could have thought that the brother who shared life and death with them was actually a murderer who killed an official and impersonated him!
This impact is probably not much less than when Jin Yichuan died.
Qin Kejian continued, "Ding Xiu was not a good person to begin with. Seeing that his junior brother was doing well in the Dragon Guards while he was still wandering around the world, he became very angry over time, so he devised a vicious plan to bring his junior brother down in disgrace and death!"
A reasonable inference!
It even sounds more reliable than my own guess.
But Sun Shaozong always felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously asked: "I wonder if there is any evidence?"
"evidence?"
Qin Kejian snorted and said, "Just because he and his fellow apprentices killed Jin Yichuan, their crime is unforgivable! As for the case of him killing four people, we will know everything after he is arrested and tried!"
As expected, just like myself, it is just an inference without evidence for now.
Thinking again about the person he suspected, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but have more speculations in his mind.
"Your Excellencies."
At this time, Shen Lian suddenly said, "That Ding Xiu used a royal saber. The saber is nearly five feet long. It is good for both chopping and stabbing, but it is not suitable for stealing..."
"Shen Lian!"
Qin Kejian suddenly growled, stared at Shen Lian coldly and asked: "Are you questioning my speculation?"
Shen Lian shrank when he was looked at, but then he straightened his back and said to Qin Kejian, "I am not questioning you, sir. I just think that we should not let go of any suspicious points!"
"Haha...you shouldn't let go of any doubts!"
Qin Kejian gave a few fake smiles, and suddenly shouted, "Someone, take Shen Lian down for me!"
A group of strong men immediately rushed in from outside, drew out their Embroidered Spring Swords, and surrounded Shen Lian like a fan.
"grown ups!"
Seeing this, Lu Jianxing bowed and said, " Although offended you, it was out of public interest and not intentional..."
"Out of public interest?"
Qin Kejian sneered, "This time I set up an ambush from all sides. Ding Xiu should have been unable to escape, but in the end he managed to escape. I didn't know where the mistake was made, but someone revealed it on their own!"
"Shen Lian!"
"Even if my inference is wrong, Ding Xiu is still a wanted criminal of the imperial court. How protect him privately?!"
As he spoke, he saw that Sun Shaozong seemed to be about to speak, so he spoke first: "Sir Sun, I just suspect that Shen Lian is protecting Ding Xiu, so I temporarily suspended him pending trial. I am not directly convicting him. According to the rules, I am afraid it is not your turn to intervene."
After saying this, without giving Sun Shaozong a chance to refute, he raised his voice and said, "Come here, help me send Lord Sun off!"
