There was a seal on the gate of Cui's mansion, and there were also Jinyiwei guards guarding it at the door. The entire mansion seemed to have not changed from outside, but it was empty, and the entire Cui family had been taken to the imperial prison for interrogation.

There is no crime in this era that is not as good as the concept of family members. In fact, as long as an official like Cui Lingyun commits crimes alone, he will definitely be involved in his family. Because the entire Cui family's previous rich life was brought about by Cui Lingyun's power, so after he commits a crime, his family will definitely be killed.

What's more, Cui Lingyun is also the second-in-command of the entire interest group. After the Jinyiwei searched the Cui Mansion, he found that the entire Cui family's wealth was extremely amazing. There were hundreds of shops in Nanjing alone, and there were also a large number of rare treasures in the warehouse, which was definitely not something that a Zuodu Censor could afford.

In addition, not only the entire Cui family, but also the family behind Cui Lingyun will be implicated. After all, in such a big case, Cui Lingyun has used his power over the years to create huge wealth for the Cui family. Now all of these have to be investigated, and the Cui clan members involved are also questioned, so the whole case is just the beginning, and there are more things to be done later.

Li Jie stepped forward, and the guards of Jinyiwei hurriedly helped him open the door of the mansion. Huang Hua, behind him, was escorting Cui Er. After all, if you want to find something in Cui's mansion, of course, you need someone familiar with the situation in the mansion to lead the way.

The group entered Cui Mansion and Li Jie looked at the mansion. Although the Cui family had only been arrested for a few days, the entire Cui Mansion seemed much more depressed. After all, as long as there is no one in the house for a day, it will lose popularity.

"Mr. Concubine, where can we check it first?" Huang Hua asked at this time.

"Take me to the study room. It's the crime site. I haven't seen it yet." Li Jie thought for a while before he started to instruct. When Cui Lingyun died, he was busy arresting Du Zheng, so he had no time to come to Cui's mansion. After all, he was not proficient in investigating the case, so it would be more reassuring to leave it to professionals such as Jinyiwei to handle it.

Huang Hua immediately agreed, and then asked Cui Er to lead the way. The group walked through the front yard and finally came to the door of the study in the inner house. This was an independent building. To be precise, it should be a study in the garden, surrounded by rockery, flowing water, green bamboos and green pine trees, which looked very elegant.

The entrance to the study room is a long corridor. If you want to enter the study room, you must pass through this corridor. The window is higher than the ground. Because the study room is hanging down, it is very difficult to enter the study room through the window.

The reason why the study room is hanging in the air is mainly because Nanjing is facing the Yangtze River, it often rains, and the air is quite humid, and the books in the study cannot stand the moisture the most, so many wealthy families will design the study rooms like this, and some even build a bookstore to make it easier to preserve books.

The door of the study room was locked and a seal was also posted. The Jinyiwei who came with him took out the key and opened it, then pushed open the door. Only then did Li Jie step in.

I saw that the entire study was in a mess. Not only was the ground pried open, but the tiles on the roof were turned on and a few rays of sunlight shone down. Fortunately, it had not rained these days, otherwise the entire study would have been flooded.

The several large bookshelfs in the study were even more tilted. Not only were books thrown everywhere, but even the bookshelf were dismantled, and some porcelain was even broken, and pieces of broken porcelain were splashed everywhere.

"Why are you so chaotic? Don't you know how to restore it to its original state after searching?" Li Jie couldn't help but frown when he saw this study room that was like a storm passing through the border, and asked Huang Hua. The study room was so messy. Even if there were clues left in the crime scene, it might have been destroyed, right?

"Ah? You still have to restore your original state?" Huang Hua showed a confused expression when he heard Li Jie's words. The places they searched for by the Jinyiwei have always been like this. Sometimes even the houses have to be demolished, and there is never a saying that they have restored their original state.

When Li Jie saw Huang Hua's expression, he sighed inwardly. The generation gap between the times is still too big. People in this era have no awareness of preserving the crime scene, even the most professional Jinyiwei.

"Where was Cui Lingyun dead at that time?" Li Jie shook his head and asked again.

"Behind the desk, the master was lying on the chair. When I came in, I found that his face was wrong, so I immediately called someone." Cui Er replied hurriedly, pointing to the back of the desk while speaking.

Li Jie came to the desk and took a look. He saw a Taishi chair behind the table, but now he was lying on the ground and the back of the chair was removed, revealing the red wood stubble inside.

The desk was even more messy, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones thrown everywhere, a big hole was broken on the table, and the books on it were torn, which made Li Jie shake his head repeatedly, and it was so messy that there was no need to search again.

"Mr. Prince Concubine, although the study room is a bit messy, don't worry, I have asked them to search the entire study room three or four times, and there is no possibility of any omission." Huang Hua saw Li Jie's disappointment, so he forced a smile and explained.

Li Jie did not doubt Huang Hua's words. After all, this study room was no different from being demolished. If there were really something hidden, it would have been found long ago.

So Li Jie asked Cui Er again: "Does Cui An live in the mansion?"

"Yes, our managers have separate rooms, but after we get married, we usually live outside. Cui An doesn't marry, so he lives in the mansion most of the time." Cui Er replied immediately.

"Take me to see!" Li Jie immediately ordered.

Cui Er agreed and took Li Jie and the others out of the study room, and then came to the east wing room in the front yard. There were several rows of houses here, all of which were the residences of the servants in the mansion. Among them, the servants had several people in one room, while the manager had his own separate room.

Cui An's room was in the corner of the last row of houses, and there were a few bamboos planted in front of the door of the room, which looked quite quiet, but after entering the room, Li Jie was disappointed to find that it was also chaotic by the Jinyiwei, but there were many books in the room. It was very reasonable to think that Cui An was once Cui Lingyun's servant.

Cui An was the murderer who killed Cui Lingyun, so his room was naturally taken seriously by the Jinyiwei, so there was no value for further searching, which made Li Jie feel a little disappointed and prepared to leave, planning to go to Cui Lingyun's bedroom to take a look. After all, except for the study, Cui Lingyun's bedroom is most likely to have something hidden.

But just as Li Jie was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately said to Cui Er again: "Cui Er, where is your room? Take me to see!"
