Chapter 509 Secondment

When Shen Hao got the news, it was the third day after he and Jiang Cheng had the hot pot meal.

"Dead? Where's the body?"

How could Qin Xiuyuan die? Although he must suffer a lot, he will definitely not die. The person who poured dirty water on Xuan Qingwei and replaced him with a normal status might be dead, but he is from the Qin family, even if he is arrested, he will be sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice instead of Xuan Qingwei.

But why did he die?

The news came back from the yamen of the Zhenfu envoy, and it came directly in the form of orders, received by Wang Yiming, and then passed to Shen Hao.

"Responding to my lord's words, Qin Xiuyuan died in Shouwang's mansion."

"Dead in Shouwang Mansion?"

Qin Xiuyuan's death was unexpected enough, but Shen Hao was even more surprised when he died in Shouwang's mansion. This is somewhat.

Opening the order in his hand, it was written by Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jingxi, and ordered Shen Hao to go to the imperial city immediately to assist the Major Case Division of the Criminal Ministry in investigating the death of Qin Xiuyuan.

"My lord, will I prepare a car for you?" Wang Yiming had read the order. Naturally, I knew the content above, thinking that my lord would leave immediately, but I didn't expect to see the other party waved his hand, holding the order and kept looking at it as if in a daze, and then sat back on the chair.

Wang Yiming didn't dare to ask, he could tell that his lord was thinking about something.

After a while, Shen Hao said: "You know the imperial city well, what's the situation with the major case department?"

Wang Yiming was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly. At the same time, he was glad that his family was really "eatable" in the imperial city, and everyone knew something about it.

"My lord. The Department of Major Cases is the number one establishment under the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is commonly known as "Eagle Eye" in the market. It is a master of all walks of life selected by the Ministry of Criminal Justice from thousands of yamen from all over the country. Powerful, it is said that they are all capable people.

In addition, the Department of Major Cases has a special status in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and "

"And what?"

"And it is said that the people from the Major Case Division have always been against us, Xuan Qingwei."

A capable person, it would be strange if he could look up to Xuan Qingwei. Shen Hao didn't find it strange when he heard the words, he even guessed that Xuan Qingwei might be a "privileged dog" in the eyes of the people in the major case department.

"There is also a major case department with a thousand-household establishment. The current principal is a man named Xue Gui. This man is also nicknamed "Iron Face". Covered by a mask, it has become a name."

Shen Hao nodded when he heard the word "iron face". He had heard of this name, mostly in the local yamen. It was said that he was a person who solved crimes like a god, and some rumors were miraculous anyway.

Wang Yiming was still introducing, while Shen Hao was listening and looking at the order in his hand, his thoughts turned quickly.

Department of Major Cases. Speaking of which, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is going to do its best to thoroughly investigate Qin Xiuyuan's death, at least on the face of it.

Then the words "immediately" and "assistance" were used at the same time on the order, which seemed to be no problem at first glance, but Shen Hao tasted something from it. Since this was written by Jiang Cheng himself, is it necessary to respond positively to the "assistance" of a major case officer who even Wang Yiming knew that he "wouldn't deal with Xuan Qingwei"? This is definitely not Jiang Cheng's character.

In addition, there are so many capable people in the imperial city, there are only four Fushi Yamen in Xuanqingwei Township, and there is another Commander Yamen, is it necessary to send him from Fengri City to investigate the case, or to assist? This is also unreasonable.

Maybe Shen Hao suddenly smiled, stood up abruptly, and his thoughts were finally smoothed out.

"You go there with me, and bring five or six good hands who can handle the case."

"The subordinate understands."

After a stick of incense, Shen Hao and his entourage left the Black Flag Battalion's base and headed for the teleportation circle. Afterwards, it was already evening when we arrived at the imperial city, and a small banner official from the Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Town took us to Shouwang Mansion again.

The main entrance of the prince's house will definitely not allow those who handle the case to come in and out, and even if they want to go to the backyard of the prince's mansion, they are not allowed. You can only enter through a side door at the back alley of the palace, and then the range of activities is limited to the limited area around where Qin Xiuyuan's body was found.

When Shen Hao arrived, he saw a lot of people in the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and some internal guards of the palace were guarding the side.

The imperial guards would not greet Shen Hao, and those members of the Ministry of Punishment also ignored Shen Hao's arrival, and even showed disdain in their eyes.

The dark lines on the clothes on the chests of these members of the Ministry of Punishment are a pattern of eyes, and Shen Hao now understands why these people are called "Eagle Eyes" in the public.

The little flag officer who brought Shen Hao over led Shen Hao to beat Xue Gui who was wearing a black metal mask.

"Xuan Qingwei Shen Hao, I have met Lord Xue." Shen Hao followed the etiquette of Jing's old court and bowed to the other party first. Xue Guizheng has five ranks and a thousand households, and Shen Hao needs to be courteous first.

"You and I are not affiliated, so there is no need to be polite."

The voice is hoarse, as if the throat has been damaged, and it sounds harsh. In addition, the mask on this person's face was actually a magic weapon, which opened Shen Hao's eyes. It was the first time he saw a magic weapon like a mask. What's the use? He really couldn't think of it for a while.

Before Shen Hao could continue to ask, Xue Gui waved his hand, and a petite woman walked towards Xue Gui with a serious expression.

"This is Mr. Shen Hao sent by Xuan Qingwei to assist us in our investigation. Show Mr. Shen and introduce the case." After speaking, he said to Shen Hao: "I still have to go back and write a note to the above. I won't be with Master Shen anymore. This is Li Qing, Master Shen can find her if you need anything."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, and did not wait for Shen Hao to say a word.

Yes, this attitude is very direct. Then look at the expression on the face of the woman named Li Qing next to her, maybe she is constipated, not feeling well?

Shen Hao didn't feel angry either, he was doing business well, and besides, he didn't really "assist" here, he understood what Jiang Cheng had hidden in the order.

"Take me to the crime scene."

"Master Shen, please." Li Qing turned sideways to lead. The shadow of a famous tree. Isn't the most popular person in Xuanqing Guard now, Mr. Shen in front of him? People who send the word "evil star" are said to be extremely cruel and merciless, and they are by no means easy people. So no matter how reluctant or uncomfortable Li Qing was in her heart, she didn't dare to be short in face.

When he saw Qin Xiuyuan, the man who had slipped away from under Shen Hao's nose was already so cold, he was lying on his side on the ground in a messy posture, with his hands on his neck.

"The person discovered the accident this afternoon when you were on the right side of the clock. According to the guards of the palace, there were no other people around when the body was discovered."

Li Qing was saying that Shen Hao had already walked to the side of the corpse and squatted down. He turned his head and glanced at Qin Xiuyuan's neck, which was covered in blood and blood. It seemed that he grabbed it himself before he died. And the face is red with black, which is the so-called "cyanosis". Look at the bloodshot eyes.

Was it suffocated?
