Chapter 63 The Detective Alliance(2/2)
Killed, but still left clues that can be traced... Master Song!"
Song Ci, a lieutenant in charge of the Qing Dynasty in the Northern Territory of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up slightly, bowed happily, and said:
"The academy professor, the person who handled it, and the student who bought the place are all dead now. It seems that all clues have been lost. But upon closer inspection, their causes of death and the time of their casualties are different! The academy professor, the person who handled it,
He died suddenly before we were ordered to arrive. Duo's death was caused by an accident. Although the method was a bit rough, the traces were still eliminated. If we continue to trace, I'm afraid we won't find much."
"But the student who bought the quota was killed in the academy on the second day after the fraud case broke out. The murderer acted in a hurry and left many clues. During this period of time, I have been following this to investigate.
Got a lot of clues!”
When Hai Rui heard this, he immediately nodded and said:
"That student was originally from Lanxi County in the north. Not long after he entered Nanhua Academy in Weichu Prefecture, he made a splash when the academy promoted exemption from the imperial examination and won the imperial examination exemption quota. After he was drunk, he proudly told others that his quota was
It was bought with money. It just so happened that my official carriage arrived at Weichu Mansion, and a disciple from the academy complained, which led to the discovery of imperial examination fraud!"
"Presumably he was hastily assassinated after the incident was exposed. Starting from him will indeed make it easier to find clues!"
Di Renjie nodded and answered:
"Based on Master Song Ci's autopsy and the investigation of the scene, we roughly drew the figure of the assassin. After several days of tracing, we originally found nothing. But then I thought about it, this Nanhua Academy is a government-run academy, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter at will, so
I started to pay attention to the people in the academy. Finally, I finally locked in one person!"
Hearing this, Hai Rui's eyes sharpened and he quickly asked:
"Who is it?"
"Inspector of the Ministry of Rites, Professor of Weichu Mansion, Changmin School!"
The figure of Chang Minxue was similar to the figure of the murderer that Song Ci deduced from the traces at the scene. On the day of the incident, he stayed in the academy. Moreover, the imperial examination exemption quota also required his seal approval.
With many clues added together, the suspicion becomes even greater!
Hai Rui's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice:
"As far as I know, this imperial examination fraud case involves more than just Nanhua Academy in Weichu Prefecture! Chang Min can't learn more than a mere inspector or professor. He doesn't have such courage, and he doesn't have the ability to promote it!"
Di Renjie heard this and agreed:
"That's right! When we continued to investigate, we found that Chang Minxue had a close relationship with Gao Fang, a doctor in the Department of Etiquette of the Ministry of Etiquette, when he was in Beijing. It was also thanks to Gao Fang that he was able to serve as a professor and supervisor in a government.
Operation...and a few days after the incident, Chang Minxue resigned from his job and his whereabouts are unknown!"
The Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Etiquette is the department in charge of the imperial examination today!
Although the official position of the ceremonial doctor was not high, he was in charge of the imperial examinations and had the power to supervise local official schools. As long as Gao Fang had enough courage, it would not be difficult to control the current situation.
After hearing this, the person behind the scenes has actually been confirmed without a doubt!
But at this moment, neither Di Renjie, Song Ci, nor Hai Rui showed any happy expressions on their faces.
Hai Rui lowered his brows and said in a deep voice:
"Whether Chang Minxue killed someone in a hurry to cover up clues or later used a knight errant to assassinate me, it can be seen that the person behind the scenes is not good at assassination!"
Di Renjie nodded and said:
"The academy professor who was killed afterwards, and the intermediary he dealt with, although his methods are still a bit rough, are definitely not what ordinary people in the world can do. Obviously, there are other people behind this Gao Fang. I have sent a letter
In the capital, please Your Majesty immediately issue an order to capture Gao Fang, lest Gao Fang’s accomplices abandon their soldiers to protect the commander and start killing people!”
Hai Rui looked at the Dali Temple Qing Di Renjie in front of him, but he felt relaxed in his heart.
His expression softened slightly, he nodded slightly and said:
"I cannot return to the capital right away because of my poor health. I ask Master Di to continue to investigate what will happen next!"
Di Renjie nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, Lord Hai!"
