Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 265 Can System Punishment Be Discounted?
"Jibang's home?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Qin Feng's mind, and he asked the yamen servant: "On the night of the fire, were there guards in those three residences? Is it possible that the people inside ran out of the house when the fire broke out?"

"Lord Tongzhi and Brother Ji were the objects of my family's suspicion at that time, so they were under strict guard day and night, and there were people around the house. At that time, the fire caught fire immediately, and the fire was so big that no one rushed to put out the fire. They were all around the village. Surrounded. Thinking about it, no one should run out of it."

The yamen servant recalled it and said to Qin Feng.

"sure?"

"Although the villain said he wasn't there last night, the villain's home is near Brother Ji's house. He got up in the middle of the night after the fire broke out. I saw it with my own eyes."

Qin Feng pondered for a while, and then asked: "How long did it take to close the city after the fire? From the time the fire broke out to the closure of the city, have there been any guards in those three places?"

"The fire can't be extinguished. The people in the yamen and the neighbors have been busy all night. The city gate was not opened the next day, and the lord ordered the city to be closed. The blockade of the port cannot be sealed, but the lord can't. An order has been issued that only boats are allowed to enter the port and it is forbidden to leave Ben Thanh."

Qin Feng thought for a while, punched his fist and said, "It's a bad thing."

Seeing this, Wan Kunming quickly asked, "What did your lord think? Why did something bad happen?"

"Tsk, if the facts are the same as what I think now, I'm afraid the perpetrator has... escaped from the city by now."

"what?"

Wan Kunming was shocked: "Why?"

Qin Feng didn't have time to explain to him, so he grabbed the yamen servants around him and said to him: "In the name of this official, you immediately mobilize the yamen servants of the magistrate's yamen to go to the three mansions that caught fire last night, and give back the three ruined buildings The officer cleans up!"

"Clean it up? Two of the three places have collapsed into disrepair. Does your lord mean to clean it up? Didn't you say to protect the site and keep people from disturbing it?"

"The previous was the previous, and now is the present. Cleaning up is not sweeping, it means removing everything above the ground of the three houses that were on fire! Hurry up! I will inform you, Mr. Zhifu, first. do it!"

Qin Feng said impatiently.

"Yes."

The yamen servant didn't dare to delay, so he ran out of the door immediately.

Qin Feng couldn't care less about being polite to the old man, so he walked away and went to find the magistrate. Only the magistrate can mobilize the servants in this yamen. He is an official from other places. If he wants to do something, he still has to talk to the magistrate. Say it.

Wan Kunming followed Qin Feng's footsteps and asked all the way: "My lord, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? Didn't your lord say that the murderer is in the city? According to what the yamen servant said just now, they have absolutely no chance." How to leave is still a mystery."

"But how did you escape out of town?"

Qin Feng explained as he walked: "Before I couldn't determine the identity of the murderer, I thought the murderer must have committed the crime outside, and then tried to hide it, but because I didn't know who it was, I searched the whole city without any results."

"But it's different now. The culprits are most likely the three who cheated on their bodies."

"The prefect Feng Shecai, the magistrate's nephew Ji Bugang, should be known to everyone in Bincheng Mansion. Before the magistrate ordered his servants to search the whole city from house to house, it is impossible not to see them. And as long as they find their traces , this case can be solved without the need of this judge."

"But now, they are obviously not dead, and it is impossible for them to escape from the burning house. The gates and ports of the city are also blocked, and they can't get out. Then tell me, where did they go? They are not birds, the president Wings fly. I guess..."

"underground?"

Wan Kunming's reaction was not bad, and he immediately guessed what Qin Feng was thinking.

Qin Feng nodded and said: "That's right, if you haven't left the room, you must be in the room, but there is no one in the room, so you can only hide in the ground. I suspect that the three burning rooms should have something hidden inside..."

Ancient people, especially those with a little money, would try to protect their property and life safety.

Poor families hide money, some hang it on the beams of the house, and some dig a hole in the yard to bury it. The method is simple.

It is much more complicated for rich people. Some people will build secret rooms in their homes, and some people will reserve them specially when building houses, and then use walls to block them, and then design some secret doors so that only they know about it. You can come and go anytime.

Some will dig in the floor and build the secret room directly underground.

Not only that, whether it is the royal family or the nobles, they will generally dig a tunnel leading to the outside world in an important place.

When they are in danger and the enemy invades, they can escape to the outside world through secret passages.

People don't disappear out of thin air, and Qin Feng doesn't believe that they can fly with wings.

Since there were so many guards that it was impossible for anyone to escape from the room when the fire broke out, they must all still be in the room.

I can't find it, it must be hiding!

There must be a secret door!

Not only did they need such a place to disappear afterwards, but also to store the corpses beforehand, didn't they also need a place?
"I just don't know if there is a secret passage leading directly to the outside. If there is such a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the city, they may have escaped by now."

Qin Feng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

I don't know how to calculate this?
He has basically figured out the key points of the matter, and the front and back can be connected in series, and he has some physical evidence in his hand, and even Qin Feng has a way to use these physical evidence to get the prisoner to confess.

But now...the suspect is gone?
Is it cracked?

Can you agree with the system?

Can it be half?

It's better to die than live, Qin Feng thought, if the system is really selfless, then you have to reason with it, if it doesn't work, it's better to be half dead than to be wiped out...

"Tsk..."

Noisy thoughts rushed out of Qin Feng's head, causing him a bit of a headache, he smacked his mouth and hit his head with his fist.

"Old Wan, if I suddenly disappear, you can apologize to Miss Su on my behalf... just say that Qin Feng is incompetent, and I'm sorry for her."

Wan Kunming was confused when he uttered such a sentence out of the blue.

"What is the meaning of this, my lord? How could a living person suddenly disappear?"

Wan Kunming heard Qin Feng's tone a little depressed, relaxed, and frowned.

He has followed Qin Feng for nearly two years, but he has never seen Qin Feng in such a state. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Master Qin is not sure about this trip to the North Sea?"

"Thanks to my lord for not giving up, pulling Wan out of the death row, and letting Wan follow my lord, and doing so many things that are beneficial to the people, I am really lucky."

"This is the grace of rebirth, and Wan Kunming really doesn't know how to repay it. Don't worry, my lord. No matter how cruel the enemy is, no matter what kind of danger we encounter, Wan Kunming promises that I will die before my lord! "

"My lord entrusted me, Wan Kunming may not be able to do it."
