Chapter 357 The reason for finding trouble
Qin Chi pushed the door open and started checking deliberately.
"Sir, why are you suddenly interested in investigating the case in Jinhai Hutong?" Lu Baizhou asked as he stretched out his hand to brush away the cobwebs, "I heard that this case is similar to the case in Zuixianlou. After investigation, it is said that it is the same group of people. Do it.”
When talking about this case, Lu Baizhou''s eyes lit up.
Investigating cases is much more interesting than being in the Hanlin Academy.
Qin Chi looked back at him and said, "This case is actually not closed yet. Yang Lingyu pressed it. It has actually attracted the attention of Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei has been investigating. I don''t know to what extent it has been investigated."
Lu Baizhou is Qin Chi''s confidant.
Qin Chi did not hide the matter.
Lu Baizhou asked: "You can go to Jinyiwei''s Yamen to check the files."
"Then you need permission from above."
Qin Chi curled his lips and said with a hint of a smile.
Lu Baizhou thought for a while, "How about I apply first and see if Jinyiwei will allow it?"
"We''ll investigate first and then talk."
Qin Chi wandered around the wealthy businessman''s house.
There is no one in the big house, not even a servant. The architecture and layout here can be seen to be carefully crafted and elegant, which is the pattern of Suzhou gardens.
No one is taking care of it, and it lacks popularity.
Qin Ba and Lao Huo are also coming today, as well as the servants from Dali Temple.
The mansion was searched.
Qin Chi was carefully observing the layout of the house, and finally his eyes fell on a rockery close to the wall in a remote yard.
The rockery seemed to be deliberately made, and a circle was made of stones to surround the rockery. A small, shallow pool was set up around the rockery, housing several koi carp. I don’t know how the craftsmen handled it. The water in the small pool is alive, and the small stones above flow out a scenery similar to a small waterfall.
"What are you looking at, Master?"
Qin Ba found Qin Chi standing in front of the rockery for a long time.
Lu Baizhou also came over. His official hat was covered with spider webs and even his cheeks were dusty. He walked towards Qin Chi and patted the dirt on his body.
Qin Bayi looked amused and said, "Did Master Lu dig into that dog hole?"
"No, I just walked around and came to a woodshed. When I saw that the door was not closed, I went in to take a look. Unknowingly, I was covered in dust." Lu Baizhou searched very carefully.
After entering the woodshed, he also moved several bundles of firewood inside.
Not even the floor was spared, they were all knocked on.
But there was no gain, so he didn''t say anything.
But experienced people, such as Lao Huo, can tell what he did at a glance, "What''s going on in this house? The Yamen has searched it many times, especially the woodshed."
"Bah bah."
Lu Baizhou spat out the suspected sand in his mouth, "Am I inexperienced? Let''s accumulate some experience first."
The three of them were there talking.
Qin Chi still seemed attracted to the rockery.
Suddenly, a man shouted loudly not far from the house, "Who?! What are you doing sneaking around there?"
Then there was the sound of someone running away.
Someone else shouted: "Catch him!"
"There is still someone hiding there! Don''t let him escape. This thief runs away when he sees someone. It''s clear that he has a guilty conscience!"
The voice sounded to be Jin Yiwei Chen Qianhu.
This time Chen Qianhu pretended to be on an errand and passed by here, pretending to the outside world that he accidentally bumped into a few people who were acting suspiciously and arrested them. In fact, this was something he and Qin Chi had discussed in advance, and the purpose was these spies.
Qin Chi''s people had previously found several spies'' intelligence bases, but they needed a clear reason to find trouble.
When a few living people were in the hands of Jin Yiwei, there were more things that could be dug out. Some people wanted to commit suicide in time. Jin Yiwei was used to seeing this kind of situation and took precautions in advance.
"These people are even more suspicious."
Chen Qianhu said to his subordinates, "The first time I was arrested, I sought death. The origin is not simple. Brothers, when the opportunity to make meritorious deeds comes, take the person back for interrogation first."
"yes!"
Several Jin Yiwei stepped forward to comply.
A guard in Jinyi checked the surroundings and hurriedly came back to report: "Sir, there is someone in the house. I just went to ask, and they said that people from Dali Temple are handling the case here."
Chen Qianhu pretended to be confused and asked: "What cases have happened here?"
"Reporting to your lord, there was a murder case in this house the year before last year..." The Jinyi guard explained the matter. Even though they were not responsible for this case, everyone in Jinyiwei still heard about it.
Chen Qianhu asked people to take the spies back.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He entered the house by himself and saw Qin Chi standing in front of the rockery with a distinguished temperament.
"Master Qin, what a coincidence."
Chen Qianhu was the first to say hello.
The guards of Dali Temple looked at them warily.
Lu Baizhou was equally vigilant and stood beside Qin Chi. Lao Huo and Qin Ba knew the inside story and stood aside pretending to be serious, holding the weapons on their waists.
Chen Qianhu smiled and said: "Don''t be nervous, everyone. I accidentally found a few thieves nearby. It seems that they are monitoring Mr. Qin."
Qin Chi finally pulled his eyes back from the rockery and looked sideways at Chen Qianhu and others who came in, "It''s Mr. Chen. What a coincidence. Why did Mr. Chen come to Jinhai Hutong today."
"I just happened to be running an errand and passed by here."
Chen Qianhu walked over, but stopped at an appropriate distance.
The so-called appropriate distance is naturally a distance that both parties feel comfortable and safe.
Officials from the DPRK and Central Government would never take the initiative to deal with the Jinyiwei outside, and Qin Chi would not openly interact with the Jinyiwei openly, so he would inevitably be ostracized by other officials.
Qin Chi had made a good deal with Chen Qianhu earlier.
When the two met outside, they just thought they were strangers.
Qin Chi pointed at the rockery and said, "Mr. Chen, I think there is something special here. Do you want a professional to take a look?"
"Oh? Let me take a look."
Chen Qianhu walked around the rockery twice with an expressionless face, pretending to be sophisticated, but in fact he didn''t see anything. You must know that the original case was quite big, not only the government intervened, but also Jinyiwei''s spies There are also surveys.
I don’t know how many times this house has been turned over.
Is there something fishy that has been discovered long ago, why can’t it wait until now?
It''s just that he really doesn''t know what kind of medicine Qin Chi sells in his gourd. The other party asked him to take a look, so he pretended to take a look.
Qin Chi waited for him to see almost everything, "What did you see?"
"I didn''t see anything." Chen Qianhu replied dryly.
"Oh, you just didn''t see anything."
Qin Chi ignored the rockery, turned around and walked between the rockery and the courtyard wall, tapping on several stone slabs for a while.
"Pry open the slate." Qin Chi said.
Then several people worked together to pry open a stone slab pointed by Qin Chi, revealing a hole that could accommodate an adult.
Chen Qianhu''s eyelids twitched.
This stone slab is easily ignored by people, because it is laid out there with other stone slabs and looks particularly ordinary. Normal people will be attracted by the rockery, thinking that there is something fishy about the rockery, and thus ignore the stone slabs next to it.
