The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

The four of Xiao Rui rested in the inn overnight, and the next day they split up to investigate the case of Guo Ziyi's murder of the commander.

Feng Xiao and Li Yuanfang went to investigate the relationship between the deceased Jiang Chuan and Guo Ziyi.

Any murder case has a motive. Assuming for the time being that Guo Ziyi is innocent, then the person who framed him must have a grudge against him, or there are other irreconcilable conflicts, and it may be that Guo Ziyi got in the way, and these reasons are the motives for framing Guo Ziyi, and Find important clues to the real culprit.

Xiao Rui took Dian Wei to first contact the cause and effect of the murder case.

This case is a major and important one. In order to show fairness, the governor of Luzhou has posted the whole story of the case outside the governor's office, but if he wants to see the entire murder case file and the autopsy report, it is difficult for Xiao Rui to see without revealing his identity. But this is not a problem for the two of them. They first investigated the experience of the procuratorate. This person has no communication with Guo Ziyi, and he is not in the same yamen system. Moreover, he is only a small official with a lowly rank. It is impossible for him to participate in such a big event. in the case.

Xiao Rui found him and directly revealed his identity.

This person was in charge of collecting documents and investigating criminal names. Through him, Xiao Rui had access to the details of the case and the results of the autopsy.

One month ago, the commander Jiang Chuan held a banquet in the mansion one month ago, and invited three friends, all of whom were from prominent families in Luzhou mansion, including Guo Ziyi, the commander's fellow acquaintance.

When he was drunk, Jiang Chuan suddenly called Guo Ziyi away, saying that he had important business negotiations. The two talked for a long time in the study, during which a servant came to deliver tea, and when he came outside the door, he heard Jiang Chuan yelling loudly, and he didn't dare to go in and disturb him, so he left the study.

The servant remembered at the time that it was probably Xu time.

At the moment of Xu Shi, Jiang Chuan's three friends saw that the two had not returned, so they went to look for them together. When they came to the door of the study, they saw that the study was locked from the inside, and no one answered no matter how hard they knocked.

The three felt that something important had happened, and when they were about to call Jiang Chuan's wife, there was a sudden exclamation from the room, and then Guo Ziyi opened the door.

After the three went in, they saw that Jiang Chuan was dead, and was attacked from behind with a knife, and the murder weapon was Guo Ziyi's saber.

The doors and windows were locked from the inside, and there were only Guo Ziyi and Jiang Chuan in the house, so the murder process was very clear.

Combined with the inspection made by Wu and the confession of the servant who delivered the tea, it can be basically concluded that Jiang Chuan died during the period from Xushi to Xushi quarter, and the process was that Jiang Chuan reprimanded Guo Ziyi, and the drunk Guo Ziyi became angry and killed Jiang Chuan.

Of course, Guo Ziyi did not admit his crime. He said that after arriving in the study, he fell into a coma and had no idea what happened, and he had no reason to kill Jiang Chuan. In addition, why didn't he escape after he killed someone? Instead of waiting to be caught, you open the door yourself?

Although these are suspicious points, they do not wash away their innocence. After all, there are witnesses and physical evidence, Guo Ziyi's explanation is purely irrational, and he has been labeled as arrogant.

Jiang Chuan is the commander of the Commanding Department of the capital, and Guo Ziyi is the commander of the three acquaintances. According to the inspector and the governor of Luzhou, both felt that it was difficult, so they simply sent the case to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple Qing Yuechong received it After the case was reported to His Majesty, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was sent to investigate.

During the in-depth investigation, the commanding officer came up with a piece of criminal evidence, which revealed evidence that Guo Ziyi withheld military pay, and according to the commanding officer, this evidence had already been handed over to the commanding officer Jiang Chuan.

From this point of view, the conflict between Guo Ziyi and Jiang Chuan arose.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple speculated that Jiang Chuan reprimanded Guo Ziyi for the crime of withholding military pay, so the servants heard the quarrel, and Guo Ziyi, who became angry, killed Jiang Chuan and burned the evidence. Unexpectedly, just after killing someone, Jiang Chuan's three friends came to find him and blocked him from the door. Guo Ziyi had nowhere to escape, but was caught on the spot!

This is the whole process of the case. The case is very clear. Even if Guo Ziyi resolutely pleads not guilty, he cannot escape the punishment of the law.

Xiao Rui told the inspector to keep his mouth shut and not to reveal his identity, and then returned to the inn. Guo Jia and Li Yuanfang also came back, and they thoroughly investigated the relationship between Jiang Chuan and Guo Ziyi, looking for the reason why Guo Ziyi might be framed.

The investigation by the two found that Jiang Chuan was loyal and tolerant to his subordinates, and had no enemies, while Guo Ziyi was more gracious, skilled in his subordinates, and clearly rewarded and punished, but some people disliked him. East.

This is not a secret, so Guo Jia found out after a simple investigation.

At that time, Ma Dong had the opportunity to be promoted to the commander, but he didn't expect Guo Ziyi to step in and come in by air. Guo Ziyi cut off Ma Dong's future, so he naturally held a grudge against him. In addition, it was Ma Dong who presented evidence of Guo Ziyi's embezzlement of military pay, thus confirming Guo Ziyi's motive for killing Jiang Chuan.

However, this Ma Dong has a perfect alibi.

On the night when Jiang Chuan was killed, Ma Dong happened to appear in Chunmanlou at around 1:00 pm. At that time, many people were drinking there, so they could testify for Ma Dong. It took fifteen and a half minutes to run from Chunmanlou to Jiangchuan's mansion at the fastest speed. As for why they didn't talk about riding a horse, because on the night of the murder, the street outside Chunman building was preparing for a rally, and there were a lot of people, so the speed of riding a horse was slower, and the target was big.

Could it be that Ma Dong sent killers to kill him?

Then how to explain that there are only the dead Jiang Chuan and Guo Ziyi in the locked room, and Jiang Chuan was stabbed in the back, he must be facing someone he knew before being suddenly attacked by the murderer.

After Xiao Rui and Guo Jia communicated about the case, they both felt that the case was difficult.

"Your Highness, we have to go to Jiang Chuan's house to see the scene of the crime. If Guo Ziyi was wronged, then there were only Jiang Chuan and Guo Ziyi in the room at that time. This is equivalent to a secret room. How did the murderer complete the murder?" Guo Jiadao : "There has never been a so-called secret room murder, there must be other details that have not been discovered."

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Then let the inspector take us there according to the experience of the envoy, Dian Wei, you go and find that experience!"

"Yes!" Dian Wei went to do it immediately.

Half an hour later, the manager hurried over.

"We want to go to the murder scene to have a look, is it convenient to arrange?" Xiao Rui asked.

The experience officer showed a look of embarrassment. After all, he is a small inspector and assistant officer, and Jiang Chuan's mansion is not something he can go to if he wants, but he had an idea and said: "Your Highness, it is difficult to do it with the ability of a villain. Yes, allow the villain to tell Jiang Chuan's youngest son Jiang Yue the identity of His Royal Highness, and there will be no problem at all. Please rest assured, Your Highness, this young master Jiang is Master Guo's apprentice, and he does not believe that Master Guo will kill his father. So although the murder case has been solved, he has sent people to guard the scene of the murder case in the Jiangfu, and no one is allowed to approach!"

Xiao Rui thought about it, and it was really difficult for the four of them to investigate the truth. Although they were afraid of scaring the snake, they still had to use the power they should.

"Okay! Go and find Jiang Yue!" Xiao Rui said.

The officer was overjoyed, and immediately took orders to do it. After another half an hour, this person led a young man to come. When the young man saw Xiao Rui's imperial order, he hurriedly saluted.

Xiao Rui said his thoughts, Jiang Yue was naturally happy, and immediately took Xiao Rui and the others back to Jiang's house, and then came to the scene of the murder.

In order to ensure that the murder scene was not destroyed, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia went into the house to check, while the others stayed outside.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia checked the doors and windows together. There were no signs of damage to the doors and windows of this room. The wooden pegs were smooth, and there were no signs of being pried by a knife. Moreover, there is no dark room or secret passage in the room. So, Guo Ziyi really killed the person while taking advantage of the wine?

"Guo Ziyi can't kill someone! There must be some clue that we haven't found!" Xiao Rui firmly believed.

Guo Jia nodded and continued to check the study. Suddenly, he saw a wooden box in the corner not far away. The study room is an elegant place to cultivate one's self-cultivation, why put a box?

On a whim, he walked over to take a look, and found some calligraphy and paintings scattered in the box, but there were clearly visible shoe prints on the bottom and side of the box!

"Your Highness, come and have a look!" Guo Jia called out immediately.

Xiao Rui came up, and when he saw the shoe prints in the box, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are there so many footprints in this wooden box? Can people be hidden in such a small space?"

No wonder Xiao Rui was surprised, because this suitcase is really not big, not as big as the suitcase in his previous life. A normal adult, no matter if he is a man or a woman, can't shrink into it, and a child is about the same.

After Xiao Rui and Guo Jia went out, they immediately asked Jiang Yue.

"Who gave you the box in your father's study?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jiang Yue took a look and said, "It was the day before my father was killed, and the commander Ma Dong sent it. They were some calligraphy and paintings of my father. I didn't want to put them in the commander, so I asked Ma Dong to send them home. .”

It's Ma Dong again!

Guo Jia asked the experience officer: "When the police searched the study that night, didn't they check this box?"

The experience officer recalled: "The box is too small, it is impossible to hide people, and the stolen goods were taken at the same night, so there should be no careful search."

Jiang Yue asked: "Your Highness and this gentleman suspect that someone is hiding in this box? Impossible! Even if someone is hiding, he is still a child. How can a child kill my father? My father is a fourth-rank warrior!"

Guo Jia smiled and didn't explain too much, but said, "Master Jiang, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Sir, please tell me!" Jiang Yue asked, cupping her hands.

Guo Jia said: "Check to see if there are any missing dwarves in the Luzhou Mansion recently!"

Pointing at the box, Jiang Yue wondered, "Sir, do you think the dwarves are hiding here?"

"Master Jiang, don't panic, help us find out the clues first." Guo Jia comforted.

"Okay!" Jiang Yue nodded immediately.

After Xiao Rui and the others left Jiangfu, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Your Highness, let's go to Chunmanlou."

Xiao Rui already understood Guo Jia's intentions and his suspicions, so he naturally agreed and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

Just like that, the four of them rushed to Chunmanlou immediately.
