Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 241 I saw the fire with my own eyes

Wu Zuo was extremely reluctant, but due to Qin Feng's mighty authority, Wu Zuo obediently complied.

Qin Feng walked around Lin Zheng's house again, feeling that he didn't miss anything, so he said to Wu Zuo, "Okay, carry the sack and go to see the place where the other people were killed."

Coincidentally, Ling Chong and Wan Kunming also finished their work and came back by themselves.

Ling Chong was accompanied by three very energetic government servants. They followed Ling Chong closely, and they seemed to have a good relationship with Ling Chong.

Sure enough, he is a person who can be the owner of the village. He can gather a group of bandits in the village and attract some friends to associate with him in the government. This is probably his personal charm.

"The three of them can go to the kiln factory to inquire first, and if they find out the news, they will come back immediately and report back."

Ling Chong said.

"Well, it looks pretty reliable."

Qin Feng praised and said to Wan Kunming: "Give them the portrait of the wine jar."

After dividing the portraits, Qin Feng told the three of them: "Listen, you three. When you arrive at the kiln, if you find the factory owner there, show them this portrait. First ask the kiln if it has ever fired such a vat. If there is any , and then ask if their tank bottoms are all like this, and they have not paid for it.”

"Find out which kiln factory made it, ask who sold the finished wine jars, and report back immediately."

"Yes!"

The three yamen servants took the portraits of the wine jars and left separately.

Qin Feng asked Ling Chong: "Just asking about the kiln factory, how long will it take for them to come back?"

"The three of you will split up, and you will be back around noon. If your lord is tired, you can take a rest and wait for them to come back before continuing to investigate the case."

Wait for them to come back?Qin Fengxin said that I would like to, but where is the time?If I don't understand this case before noon tomorrow, I'm done...

"Let's just rest. This murder case is causing panic. Let's find out before we talk about it. Zuo, according to your inspection, who is the next victim? Let's go to the scene to see."

Qin Feng called Wu Zuo to his side to ask.

"Uh..." Wu Zuo thought for a moment, and said, "You can go to Brother Ji or Lord Tongju. It's really hard to say who will come first for the second and third victims."

"The younger one has examined the bodies of these two people, and the time of death of the two people should be about the same."

Qin Feng frowned, so the murderer committed the crime for the second time and killed two people in a row?
Hiss... Is there any connection between this number of people?
The first time one person, the second time two people, and the third time, three people were burned to death... If we follow this inference, if the murderer makes another move next time, won't he kill four people?

Could it be that this murderer is a serial perverted murderer?

"Then go to Mr. Ji's house first."

Guessing alone is not enough, you still have to find clues, no matter what, you have to check and find out before noon tomorrow.

It's a pity that Juhunling can't be used, relying on oneself...it's really difficult, and the system didn't say anything else to help, Qin Feng felt very miserable.

As soon as Qin Feng opened his mouth, he immediately found that the expressions of Ling Chong and Wu Zuo were a little weird.

But the two of them didn't speak, and Zuo Zuo honestly led the way away.

Soon, Wu Zuo led the way to Ji Bugang's home.

When Qin Feng saw the scene, he immediately understood why Ling Chong and Wu Zuo had strange expressions.

Ji Bugang's home was not only the scene of his wife Lin Cuiling's death, but also the place where he himself was burned to death.And the two died in the same bedroom.

But now, that bedroom has been burned down, leaving only ruins.

"I'm afraid there are no clues to be found."

Wan Kunming glanced at the scene and said to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng nodded lightly.

Previously they only heard that three people were burned to death in their own room. They knew about such a thing, but they had no concept of how big the fire was.

Qin Feng could not imagine the magnitude of the fire until he saw the dilapidated ruins in front of him.

In this kind of ancient times, it is not easy to extinguish this kind of fire without implicating the surrounding houses.

But how did such a big fire start?
The magistrate told Qin Feng about the incident. Before the fire, two of the three dead were under strict surveillance. They were followed during the day, and the house was surrounded by government officials at night.

How could it be so easy to set fire in this environment?And the magistrate also said that the fire started in an instant, and the surrounding yamen servants were not given enough time to react!

"Who saw the fire? How many people? Can you believe their words?"

Qin Feng dragged his cheeks and asked Ling Chong: "I suspect that someone is playing tricks and guarding. Even if there is a fire, it will be discovered immediately and then try to put it out. How could it burn so big?"

"Your Excellency, there is no need to doubt this point. When the fire broke out, Ling happened to be there, and he saw it with his own eyes."

Qin Feng was very surprised by Ling Chong's answer: "I saw it with my own eyes? Didn't you say that the fire started at night? You are on duty during the day, and you don't go home to sleep at night? The magistrate will never ignore his own safety, and specially arranges You watched his nephew's life?"

"Of course not, the magistrate will be there that day."

"what?"

Qin Feng couldn't figure it out even more: "Then...in the middle of the night, he was there?"

The dignified magistrate, who manages a lot of affairs during the day, but also worries about his nephew's life at night, brought the yamen servants to guard him personally?

Thinking back to the prefect's selfish and life-saving appearance, Qin Feng felt that it seemed impossible.

"It's the way it is."

Ling Chong saw that Qin Feng was frowning tightly, looking puzzled, so he took the initiative to tell him about the events before and after the fire that day.

"The deaths of Mrs. Lin and Lord Tongsan are no small matter. Lord Tongzhi and Ji Bugang came to the prefect's yamen to report the case. The prefect took it very seriously and immediately sent someone to investigate."

"The murder case is very strange. When Mrs. Lin and Mr. Tongsan died, there were no other witnesses except Mrs. Tongzhi and Ji Bugang. The 'sudden and bizarre death' described by the two is even more unbelievable."

"Both died of stab wounds, which were obviously man-made. At that time, there was no one else at the scene, only the two of them who came to report the crime."

"So the prefect and I have similar judgments. We think that the prefect and Ji Bugang committed the crime separately, and then the thief shouted "Stop the thief."

Listening to Ling Chong's narration, Qin Feng kept nodding his head.

He thought so too.

"The prefect interrogated the two of them, but they refused to admit it and insisted on their own words."

"Because one of them is a nephew and the other is a subordinate, and the magistrate couldn't produce any evidence here, he didn't send the two of them to prison. Instead, he sent people to closely monitor him and wanted to hand over the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. A capable person will come to detect it.”
