Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 251 Qin Feng's Guess Shocked the Prefect
When the magistrate heard this, his face immediately turned pale.

"You, what are you talking about? Why did you kill people the next day? The first three corpses were clearly discovered two days in a row..."

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

The magistrate's words revealed a message: he was not the one who changed the autopsy results.

Otherwise, he should have seen the record of the work, and knew that the executioner, Li Xianqiu, was killed before his niece-in-law Lin Cuiling and the judge Gong Yanglian.

In this way, he should have nothing to do with Li Xianqiu's death.

But in any case, he must know something about the theft of Kuyin.

Qin Feng decided to pry his mouth open to see if he could find other clues.

"Hehe...Your Excellency, don't panic. Didn't Qin say that he already has some clues? Let Qin tell you some things he found out..."

He beckoned to the magistrate, motioned him to sit down, and then said slowly: "Qin went to a few places where the corpse was found today, and found some clues. First of all, Li Xingqiu did not die in the house of official Lin Ku. , but..."

Qin Feng spoke eloquently, and told the magistrate one by one the clues and conjectures he had discovered, and asked Ling Chong, who had been following him, for evidence on key issues.

The knife marks, blood stains, and the corner of the blood book, Qin Feng had already asked Ling Chong to try to obtain evidence for these things, preserved them, and showed them to the magistrate one by one during the period.

The magistrate doesn't trust Qin Feng, but he trusts Ling Chong a lot.

After listening to Qin Feng's words, the prefect was so shocked that he was stunned on the spot...

This reaction is abnormal in Qin Feng's view.

After all, about Li Jianqiu being killed in the small yamen by the general judge, including the fact that the word "injustice" in the blood book was written by Lin Zheng instead of Li Xianqiu, these are just Qin Feng's conjectures, although it sounds smooth, But there is little evidence that this is the case.

Qin Fenghe remembered that after hearing his speculation, Ling Chong and Wan Kunming were surprised, but doubtful.

But Zhifu's face was full of shock.

Qin Feng looked at his expression and smiled: "Master Zhifu, is my guess correct? Lord Zhifu already knew this?"

"..."

The magistrate dodged his eyes, opened his mouth a few times but hesitated to speak, obviously he was hiding something and refused to speak.

Qin Feng had no choice but to continue: "Lord Zhifu. The theft of treasury silver may have a lot to do with the murders these days. Qin doesn't know why the magistrate stamped the seal of the prefect on such a nonsensical case. I don't know what the magistrate is hiding. But my lord must be clear, these things you are hiding now may have clues to the murder."

"If you keep silent, won't it make it more difficult for Qin to solve the case? If the magistrate thinks that Qin's speculation is correct, please trust Qin. As long as there is enough information, Qin will be able to solve the case!"

Hearing this, the magistrate closed his eyes and thought for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Your Majesty Qin is really amazing. He was able to guess the theft of the treasury silver based on clues."

"That's right, Lin died unjustly, and the one who actually stole Kuyin was indeed my worthless nephew... But I really didn't expect that he would be so daring, not only stealing, but also daring to kill?"

The magistrate looked distressed, and after muttering a few words, he suddenly realized a problem: "Hiss—if you want to put it this way...my nephew killed Li Qiuqiu, could it be Li Xianqiu's friend, relative, Killed my nephew? Can the real murderer go to the Li family?"

Qin Feng frowned: "I can't deny this possibility. This can be a direction for investigating the case later, but for now, I'd like to ask the magistrate to clarify the concealed things."

"Why do you keep asking? The theft of Kuyin is over! No matter how they framed Lin Zheng and made him a scapegoat, they are all dead now! What's the point of pursuing those?"

"them?"

Qin Feng noticed the prefect's words, kept this in his heart, smiled and said: "If the prefect doesn't say it, how can you know it's meaningless? The clues you can't see, Qin has seen, you didn't pay attention Qin has noticed the matter. How do you know that I can't find out the identity of the murderer from this theft?"

"After all, this theft is probably the root of everything."

The magistrate stared at Qin Feng, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed heavily: "Forget it, since you want to listen, I will tell you the whole thing. If you can really find out the identity of the murderer, it is also a good thing."

"However... the government only needs you to find out the criminal, find out the evidence, and make sure that these people were killed by that person. It will not bother Mr. Qin to try and judge the case. Mr. Qin will treat it as a private matter. I will help the government with my identity, and I will give a thousand taels of gold to thank you afterwards. As for the matter of this case file, I hope Master Qin will act as if he has never seen it before..."

Qin Feng calmed down and nodded slowly: "Yes."

But I have already roared in my heart: "Do you think I will sue you? I don't care too much! One more thing is worse than one less thing. I can't wait to investigate the case quickly, complete this damn task, and leave this mess as soon as possible to save my life." land!"

"You... swear to God!"

Qin Feng rolled his eyes, but seeing the magistrate's expression, I'm afraid he would not say anything unless he swears, so he could only say: "Okay, okay, by heaven, I, Qin Feng, swear by the sky, what I saw and heard today is only for the purpose of solving the case." , I will never let anyone outside this room know about it! If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning!"

The magistrate immediately laughed: "Hahaha... Well, it seems that Mr. Qin really wants to help Ji. Mr. Ji was careless and respectful just now. I hope Mr. Qin will not be offended..."

"You don't need to say too much. The magistrate just tells you all the things you have concealed. Qin will listen attentively... and eat by the way."

"Okay! Hurry up...the dishes are getting cold, Mr. Qin, please..."

There were all kinds of chicken, duck and fish on the table. This lunch was really costly. Qin Feng was really hungry, so he put some bad food on his plate, grabbed another pig's foot, and gnawed on it while listening to the magistrate's story about the theft. case.

"Actually, Mr. Qin's speculation about the Ku Yin case just now should be very close to the truth, but there is no conclusion about the facts here."

"The Treasury of the state capital is checked by the Ministry of Accounts twice a year to check the amount. As the prefect of Bincheng Prefecture, this prefecture also counts it before the people from the Ministry of Accounts come down."

"At the end of the first month, the household department should come again. At the beginning of the month, I took someone to count the money. After checking, I found that the bank was stolen, and more than 3 taels of silver were missing!"

"This is not a small amount, and it has never happened before!"

"Treasurer Lin Zheng and my nephew who is the deputy treasury officer didn't know anything about it! I was naturally very angry and ordered them to find out who stole the money within half a month!"

"Just nine days ago, I asked how the investigation was going. Lin Zheng said that there was a clue, and told me to wait for the good news."

"Unexpectedly, I just went to have a glass of wine with my old friend from the same department. When I came back, Guan Lin was arrested as a criminal. After the interrogation, I confessed to the confession and signed it!"
