【Twenty-one times】How about surrendering yourself
Wang He told the detailed methods and processes of the crime in front of everyone. He made it so well that even Jiang Chengyi, who knew the truth, subconsciously thought that everything was just as Wang He said, not to mention Chang Yu, Jing Ting and others who were also trying the case in the hall.
Wang He's surrender made the originally clear case fall into a whirlpool and make it even more difficult to investigate.
Everyone in the hall heard Wang He make a complete statement of the crime process, and unanimously agreed that the explosion was done by Wang He. However, Jing Ting still doubted the doubts left in the case.
On this side, the Dongfu Department has not decided to take Wang He into jail for careful examination. Rumors that Wang He is the culprit of the explosion occurred in Luoyang City.
Under pressure from the public, Jiang Chengyi had to temporarily put Wang He in jail for further interrogation.
At night, Jiang's house.
Mu Yun waited in the mansion for a day, and finally looked forward to Jiang Chengyi returning from the master's mansion. Seeing the young man wearing an indigo straight-hem robe entering the mansion with a tired look on his face, she walked up to the door in three or two steps, accompanied him silently, and headed towards the study.
Jiang Chengyi kept thinking about Wang He surrendering himself, but did not notice Mu Yun following him.
When he reached the door of the study, he paused on the threshold with one foot, then stepped out again, and then asked Xue Qing in a muttering manner: "What have you found in these days... Chang Yu and Jing Ting? What are the abnormalities between Deng Guozhong?"
He was waiting for Xue Qing to answer, but there was no movement behind him. So he turned his head and looked at him in confusion when he saw Mu Yun standing on his right side, staring at him without blinking.
Jiang Chengyi was so busy that he was dizzy. He ignored Mu Yun these days. Seeing her looking at her with a slouching look on her face, a little smile on her face, and she was pursing her lips and looking at her.
"Look at you! Thinking about the case, I don't know that Xue Qing left halfway. It's late! If there are any doubts in the case, I'll put it on first. The vegetables are hot in the kitchen... I'll wait for you to come back and have a meal with you." Mu Yun said in a gentle voice.
Seeing that she was not giggling with her as usual, Jiang Chengyi was a little surprised and joked: "If it were the past, I ignored you for so long, Ayi, you... but you are going to fist... How could you be so gentle today?"
Mu Yun heard this and was a little unhappy. He pouted his mouth and said a little dissatisfied: "How can I... I am such an unreasonable person? Seeing that you are always busy and busy, how can I still be willing to continue making trouble with you?"
She muttered, as if she was a little aggrieved.
Jiang Chengyi felt soft and held her in his arms. He put her thin lips close to her ears and said in a slight voice: "I know, I won't go to the East Mansion tonight, stay in the mansion to accompany you."
The hot air plunged on Mu Yun's cheek. The words were extremely ambiguous, which made her face turn red in an instant. So she stomped her feet, pushed him away, and spat: "Who wants you to accompany you!"
Jiang Chengyi was caught off guard and laughed at Mu Yun's shy appearance. Mu Yun saw that he was teasing her on purpose, and his heart was furious. He immediately drove his hands and feet and punched him a few times.
Seeing that she regained her nature, she began to punch and kick herself again. Jiang Chengyi wailed twice, shrank her head and hid everywhere in the yard. After a while, she begged for mercy and said, "Good Ayi! I promise you in the future! I will never tease you again!"
After hearing his promise, Mu Yun finally stopped and stopped chasing him. The little woman with a beautiful face raised her proud chin, snorted at him, turned around and wrapped her arms, and flew towards the front hall.
Jiang Chengyi smiled with eyebrows and shook her head helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Yun's crisp and loud call sounded in the corridor in front: "Why don't you come here quickly?"
Jiang Chengyi responded quickly: "Oh! Okay, madam, I'm here!"
Listening to his pretended playful answer, Mu Yun, who was walking in front, giggled happily, slowed down, and waited for him to catch up.
After dinner, Xue Qing returned to the mansion from outside.
Jiang Chengyi was waiting for him in the study, closing his eyes and thinking about all the clues he had found during the day. When he heard it, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the corridor outside the house.
Xue Qing rushed to the study room quickly, stopped in front of the door, and said nothing.
Jiang Chengyi opened one eye and glanced at him, then closed his eyes again, but asked faintly: "What's wrong? Why don't you come in?"
Xue Qing bowed to him in front of the door and replied: "Young Master may not be able to stay in the mansion forever... At the second hour of You, the Grand Marshal went to the Eastern Palace Department in person and asked you to interrogate Wang He overnight and give him an explanation... Wait until tomorrow to report to Your Majesty and release Deng Yuan."
Jiang Chengyi was surprised, and his eyes opened immediately, and his eyes fell on the man in the green robe in front of the door. Seeing that he was anxious, he knew that it must be the situation in the Dongfu Department that was a bit ugly, so Xue Qing would come back to find him in a hurry.
"How could Deng Guozhong be so anxious? No matter how it is said, it is impossible to provide evidence to prove the connection between Deng Yuan and the bombing case... Your Majesty will not say anything more due to the face of the Deng clan. The Dongfu Department has been detaining Deng Yuan for more than half a month... On the day before the New Year, whether it is the Dongfu Department or the City Defense Force, if there is no evidence, Deng Yuan will be released. At this critical moment, Deng Guozhong will not be so aggressive, but what happened?"
Xue Qing's eyes were worried and confused, "I also found it very strange. It should be said that... the Taiwei shouldn't be so impatient."
Jiang Chengyi rubbed his achesy brain and pinched his nose and said tiredly: "Forget it... It's been what Chang Yu and Jing Ting found... that led to Deng Guozhong's eagerness to lead someone to take the blame. In the past few days, you and I have only focused on finding the witnesses at the time of the incident, but forgot to stare at the movements of Chang Yu and Jing Ting. Perhaps we have missed some important clues."
He moved his muscles and bones a little, then stood up from the desk, left the mansion with Xue Qing, and went to the East Mansion Office.
Deng Guozhong was waiting in the side hall of the main hall.
As soon as Jiang Chengyi entered the Si Mansion, Jing Ting and Chang Yu came up. Dou Yuelan was not invited to come here tonight because there were witnesses in the important case of Emperor Song Zong who needed to be interrogated.
"Jiangzhusi, are you here?" Chang Yu bowed to him and said politely.
He nodded slightly at Chang Yu and said politely: "I have been waiting for you for a long time... Where is the Grand Marshal now?"
Jing Ting said with a cold face and said in a depressed mood: "I'm waiting in the side hall!"
Jiang Chengyi was so excited that he noticed that the two of them had an unhappy look on their faces, so he asked quietly: "Do you two know why the Grand Marshal was so anxious to push Master Wang He out? In the past few days... have you found some important clues... and have you disturbed our Grand Marshal?"
Chang Yu replied: "The lower officials and the commander found some clues and were about to write down the memorial, report to His Majesty, and continue to detain Deng Yuan. But unexpectedly... Wang He rushed out."
Jiang Chengyi asked: "What clues did you determine that the explosion case is related to Deng Yuan?"
Jing Ting took his words and said, "The Xiaguan and Weiwei recently found that Deng Yuan had ordered people to transport eight wooden boxes into the mansion four days before the explosion. However, after the incident, no matter how the soldiers at the exploration site searched, they had never found any of the remaining fragments of these seven or eight boxes in the explosion. On Laba, although the explosion and fire were serious, it did not stop burning the entire Deng Mansion to ashes. If you search carefully, you should be able to find one or two broken wooden boxes. Therefore, Weiwei and I both thought that the large amount of sulfur powder and charcoal powder sprinkled in the dungeon might be transported into the mansion in the eight wooden boxes... so they went to the prison to interrogate Deng Yuan.
Deng Yuan looked strange and evasive, and could not tell what the use of the seven or eight boxes was transported into the Deng Mansion. We thought that this matter was indeed different. After investigating the canal transport records, we found that six days ago, a cargo ship arrived from Yangzhou. There were only eight wooden boxes on it, and each wooden box was very heavy. The man who carried the goods at the canal transport ferry was very impressed. It was said that he called several brothers to carry them together before lifting the goods off the ship. When the few people carried them, some black powder fell from it. If it weren't for the box containing the charcoal powder? The two of us checked the whereabouts of the boxes. We found that these eight boxes almost circled Luoyang City... and were sent to Deng Yuan's mansion. This move may be Deng Yuan's way of covering up the crime."
Jing Ting explained the story to Jiang Chengyi in detail. Seeing that he was frowning, he thought he had noticed something wrong from his narrative just now, so he asked, "What strange thing did the Jiang Zhusike discover?"
Jiang Chengyi raised his own question: "Don't Deng Yuan know that after the dungeon explodes...will such a serious result?"
Jing Ting and Chang Yu were both stunned, and also closed their eyebrows, saying suspiciously: "It's this point that I can't understand. Deng Yuan made such a big noise, which not only revealed the fact that Shi An was imprisoned in his mansion, but also caused a disaster. If it was just to silence Shi An, this method would be too extreme... It would be almost a loss-win situation."
Jiang Chengyi nodded, causing them to think of this and then silently.
Eight heavy wooden boxes were carried in Deng Yuan's mansion. Such a striking thing, like Deng Yuan's cautious attitude, would never be discovered by others. Therefore, these things were transported into the mansion when no one was around in the middle of the night. Although Jingting was a city defense force and needed to patrol the city day and night, the city defense force also had a change of guard system. Deng Yuan could do so quietly as long as he avoided the city defense force's patrol.
How did Jing Ting and Chang Yu find out about this?
He was puzzled, so he asked casually: "How dare you ask the two adults to find out that a wooden box with charcoal powder was transported into Deng Yuan's mansion?"
