The memorials impeaching Wei Yuan were probably as numerous as snowflakes.

"Wait for me to clean up."

Su Nan left Nangong Qianrou outside the door and tidied up for a while before going with her to Haoqi Tower.

Fu Xiang, who was still resting in bed, seemed a little tired, and her eyes seemed to reveal a hint of worry.

Fu Xiang never expected that Su Nan would be the chief investigator in charge of the Sangbo bombing case.

What should I do...

……

Haoqi Tower, seven stories.

Su Nan followed Nangong Qianrou back to the night watchman's office and went straight to the tea room on the seventh floor.

"Godfather, the person has been brought here," Nangong Qianrou said expressionlessly.

Yang Yan's gaze immediately turned to Su Nan.

He was also quite curious about Su Zhexian, the man who had solved the tax silver case.

Wei Yuan glanced at Su Nan and asked him a question that stumped him from the very first one.

"This bombing in Sangbo has nothing to do with you, right?"

Su Nan knew why Wei Yuan asked that question.

After all, Zhou Li's case and Ping Yuanbo's case were both more or less related to him.

"of course not."

Su Nan said sternly and righteously.

Wei Yuan nodded, guessing that it wouldn't matter.

Then a smile appeared on Wei Yuan's face: "Sit down, Chief Administrator."

"His Majesty has decreed that you have full authority to handle this case."

"My relationship with the night watchman's office is merely one of cooperation."

"Now, what does the presiding officer think is the best way to investigate this case?"

Upon hearing Wei Yuan's words, both Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan showed some resentment.

The Godfather should have been in charge of handling the Sangbo bombing case.

But His Majesty has chosen a playboy who has no qualifications or experience whatsoever!

How can he possibly win over the masses?!

They wanted to see just what this kid was capable of!

The Sangbo bombing case is far more complex than the tax and silver case.

With so many things to do, it was difficult to even find a direction for the investigation.

Upon hearing this, Su Nan nodded and said, "Tell me exactly what happened, and don't leave out any details."

Although Su Nan knew everything about the Sangbo bombing, he had to pretend he knew nothing at this moment.

Otherwise, he would have been intimately familiar with the case without even having looked at the files.

If Wei Yuan wasn't a fool, he would definitely think that this case was related to him!

Otherwise, do you think you, Su Nan, can predict the future?

Wei Yuan raised his hand.

Yang Yan immediately prepared

Su Nan slowly picked up the file and began to read it carefully, word by word.

Wei Yuan sat calmly opposite Su Nan, drinking and pouring his own beverage.

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou stood to the side, their expressions somewhat suspicious.

This kid can solve the tax evasion case just by looking at the case files.

Could it be that he can solve the Sangbo bombing case just by looking at the case files?

That's impossible.

There is very little detailed information in this file.

It only recorded the scene of the explosion and some people's oral accounts.

Su Nan finished reading the file, which contained very little information, in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

He then sat down in a chair, took a sip of wine with one hand, and tapped lightly on the table with the other.

Nangong Qianrou couldn't wait any longer and said, "Lord Su, don't you want to go and see the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple in person?"

Su Nan turned to look at Nangong Qianrou, her gaze calm and indifferent.

"According to the records, after the bombing, His Majesty went to Sangbo, and the Imperial Preceptor and Duke Wei also went, but nothing unusual happened, is that right?"

Wei Yuan, who was sitting opposite Su Nan, nodded.

"The Imperial Advisor inspected the area near Sangbo and found nothing unusual."

Su Nan gave a soft "hmm".

"If that's the case, what use would it be for me to go to Sangbo?"

Nangong Qianrou was furious when she heard this.

So that's why you didn't go to the crime scene?!

How can you solve a case if you don't even go to the scene?!

Aren't many cases solved by finding clues and connections from the slightest traces at the scene?

Nangong Qianrou increasingly felt that His Majesty had gone mad, actually sending such an unreliable person to oversee the Sangbo bombing case.

Su Nan closed the dossier in front of him, glanced at Wei Yuan and his two adopted sons, and then smiled faintly:

“Even without going to the scene, the case can still be investigated.”

"Let's... start by examining the explosion to analyze the whole case."

Wei Yuan seemed to become somewhat interested upon hearing this.

Nangong Qianrou and Yang Yan's expressions remained unchanged.

"The case file states that the explosion was caused by a large amount of gunpowder."

"Then can we confirm that the explosion at Sangbo was not caused by a high-level expert, but was merely an explosion caused by gunpowder?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan calmly replied, "This matter can be confirmed."

"If the explosion at Sangbo was the work of a high-level expert, the Imperial Advisor and the Astronomical Bureau's sorcerers would have noticed something amiss."

"Sangbo is one of the forbidden areas of the Great Feng Dynasty, heavily guarded; no one can infiltrate Sangbo silently."

Chapter 54 Two Clues to the Bombing Case, Su Nan's Astonishing Withdrawal

"The smell of gunpowder was very strong after the explosion at Sangbo and lingered for a long time."

"This alone is enough to confirm that Yongzhen Shanhe Temple was destroyed by gunpowder."

"Instead of being destroyed by a high-level expert."

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou remained expressionless.

This matter is basically confirmed, as stated in the case file.

Isn't this kid just asking a question he already knows the answer to?

That's just making things complicated.

Su Nan tapped the table lightly with her finger.

"it is good.".

"Then I have a question to ask!"

"First, where did gunpowder come from?!"

"To destroy Yongzhen Shanhe Temple, a huge amount of gunpowder would be needed. Where would such a large amount of gunpowder come from?!"

"Secondly, how was the gunpowder transported to Yongzhen Shanhe Temple, and when was it transported there?"

Wei Yuan stared at the young man opposite him, his gaze slightly surprised.

This young man was smarter than he thought.

In such a short time, they had already figured out which direction to start from and how to sort out the whole case!

The banished immortal... truly lives up to the name.

Yang Yan and Nangong Qianrou gradually came to their senses, and their expressions changed slightly.

"The first problem is that gunpowder is strictly controlled by the Great Feng Dynasty. If we want to obtain a large quantity of gunpowder, we must start with the Ministry of Works."

"Check the Ministry of Works' gunpowder production and usage records for the past year."

"It is possible to hide extra gunpowder simply by falsifying the ledgers."

"But I believe that the night watchman would have found this out."

Neither Nangong Qianrou nor Yang Yan spoke; instead, they looked at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan nodded calmly.

Nangong Qianrou immediately said, "I will immediately send my subordinate Yinluo to investigate this matter."

Su Nan waved his hand and said, "No rush, we are still analyzing it."

"The second question is, how was this batch of gunpowder transported to Yongzhen Shanhe Temple?"

"As Lord Wei just said, Sangbo is a forbidden area of ​​the Great Feng Dynasty. It will probably not be a simple matter to send so much gunpowder into the palace and bury it in the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple."

"I remember that His Majesty held an ancestral worship ceremony in Sangbo not long ago."

"If the gunpowder had been brought in at that time, it would have been detected long ago."
