Su Nan then left the Ministry of Justice with the night watchman.
The officials present were not fools.
They had overheard the entire conversation between Su Nan and Lü Qing.
Although they only partially understood what was being said, everyone was certain that Su Nan had grasped the key clues to solving the Sangbo bombing case!
Everyone immediately looked at Lü Qing.
Lü Qing pretended to be stupid.
Eunuch Liu tapped his fingers on the table and urged, "What did Chief Su just say to you? Did it contain any clues about the Sangbo case? Speak quickly!"
Lü Qing glanced in the direction Su Nan had left.
She knew what Su Nan would do next—he was definitely going to arrest Zhou Chixiong!
This credit should rightfully belong to him.
If I were to speak up, the people from the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Kyoto Prefecture might try to steal the credit.
After hesitating for a moment, Lü Qing slowly recounted the two cases of the demon clan of Mount Huang devouring the man and the junior officer of the Golden Guard to the officials.
This conversation lasted for half a day.
Chapter 57: The Complete Outline of the Events, Yang Yan Was Shocked
Inside the meeting hall.
Lu Qing felt immense pressure as all the officials in the hall stared at him.
Her conversation with Su Nan just now has allowed her to deduce the basic outline of the Sangbo bombing case.
Because the cases of the demon clan devouring people in Dahuang Mountain and the disappearance of the junior officer of the Jinwu Guard were both personally supervised by Lü Qing.
That's why she can understand things very quickly.
However, Eunuch Liu, Minister Sun, and others in the council hall were unaware of the details and were completely baffled.
Now they are just waiting for Lü Qing to clear up their doubts!
Lu Qing had no choice but to say, "Eunuch Liu, gentlemen, if I am not mistaken, there is a high possibility that the demon race is involved in this matter."
These words caused the officials present to change their expressions drastically, and even Minister Sun of the Ministry of Justice frowned.
An official from the Ministry of Justice, skeptical, asked, "What is your basis for this claim?"
If the demon race is involved, then this case becomes complicated.
The demon race went to great lengths to plan this case; surely it wasn't just to blow up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple to vent their anger?
"A few days ago, I, along with the night watchman's office, investigated the case of the monster from Mount Dahuang in Taikang County that devoured the gray households."
"A demon devoured the gray household?" Eunuch Liu frowned.
"Yes, around the middle of the year, a monster appeared in the river at the foot of Mount Huang and devoured hundreds of local mortals. I worked with the night watchman to investigate and discovered a cleaned-out saltpeter mine in Mount Huang."
Lü Qing explained the case of the Dahuangshan Saltpeter Mine to the adults present in detail and clearly.
The eunuch Liu and Minister Sun, who were present, listened attentively in silence.
"So, during my discussion with Director Su just now, we analyzed the situation layer by layer... and discovered that the gunpowder might not have come from the Ministry of Works, but was related to the Dahuangshan saltpeter mine," said Lü Qing.
Gunpowder was most likely developed by the demon race, rather than originating from the Ministry of Works.
Once this is determined, a lot of unnecessary work can be saved.
The officials from the Ministry of Justice and the prefectural government looked serious; this case actually involved the demon race!
It should be noted that the Nine Provinces Demon Clan has two major camps: the various demon tribes in the north and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in the south.
but.
The Southern Frontier Demon Kingdom had already perished in the Jiazi Demon Extermination Campaign, with only its remnants clinging to life!
Meanwhile, the demons of the northwest formed an alliance with the northern tribes to jointly resist the Great Feng and the Western Regions.
Which demon clan force is behind the nitrate mine?
Eunuch Liu glanced at Prefect Chen, who responded with an "Oh," and then recited the text to his subordinate.
"That is indeed the case. The government office just took over the case a few days ago, and the officer in charge at the time was Officer Lü."
Eunuch Liu, with a gloomy expression, said: "If the saltpeter mine had been discovered earlier, the Sangbo case might not have happened!"
Why has the case of a monster devouring people, which occurred in the middle of the year, been suppressed until now?
Lu Qing was about to accuse the magistrate of Taikang County of dereliction of duty and disregard for the lives of the Hui householders, but was stopped by a single glance from Prefect Chen.
Prefect Chen sighed, "The demon is powerful; even the magistrate of Taikang County is in a difficult position."
Eunuch Liu snorted coldly: "I will report this to His Majesty as such."
Minister Sun spoke, glancing at Lü Qing.
"What clues are there about Su Nan leaving the council hall now?"
Although Minister Sun and the others did not understand.
But they weren't fools, and they could tell that Su Nan and Lü Qing seemed to have discovered some extremely important clues during their deductions!
Minister Sun saw through Lü Qing's subtle stalling tactics and cut to the chase, not wanting her to ramble on.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu pondered and said, "Even if the demon race possessed gunpowder, how could they possibly conceal it from the Great Feng Imperial Guards and the city's guards, and smuggle it into Sangbo?"
“This leads to another case,” Lü Qing replied.
"Another case?"
Everyone couldn't help but show surprise!
How could the Sangpo bombing case have involved so many other incidents?
Lu Qing said, "The day before His Majesty's ancestral worship ceremony, Liu Han, a junior officer of the Imperial Guard, died at home without cause. It was also me and the night watchman who handled the matter!"
"However, at the time, this did not seem to have any connection with the saltpeter mine case, and we did not make any connection to it."
The junior officer of the Imperial Guard was silenced... Gunpowder was smuggled into Sangbo... Everyone present was intelligent, and there was no doubt whatsoever.
"So he went to southern Jiangsu..."
Officials from the Ministry of Justice and some government officials suddenly stood up from their chairs.
The clue to solving this case may very well lie with the Jinwuwei!
(IX) (IX) Sulfur-Sydney Neighbor
Minister Sun said in a deep voice, "Order the arrest of all centurions of the Imperial Guard. Go immediately!"
With a whoosh, everyone stood up and rushed out of the council chamber, not caring about knocking over chairs.
The case has been analyzed to this point and is now very clear!
Whoever catches a spy within the Golden Guard will have made a great contribution!
The Ministry of Justice could not possibly stand idly by and watch this credit fall into the hands of Su Nan and the night watchman.
The huge council hall was now empty except for Eunuch Liu and the eunuch he brought, Minister Sun, and Prefect Chen.
Eunuch Liu stretched out his hand, and the attendant eunuch immediately blew the ink off the paper and handed the booklet to him.
Eunuch Liu carefully read the contents.
The first two pages are discussions of the case between the Ministry of Justice and the prefectural government, mainly consisting of debates with little substance.
It wasn't until Su Nan joined the investigation that the case began to become clearer, and the suspect was identified within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The case is progressing so fast that even Eunuch Liu is surprised!
According to normal procedures, it would probably take two or three days to connect the cases of the saltpeter mine in Dahuangshan and the minor official.
"No wonder His Majesty favors this great immortal of the Great Feng Dynasty so much..."
Liu Gonggong thought to himself.
"This person not only possesses unparalleled poetic talent, but his ability to solve cases is also unmatched in the world."
"Given time, another Wei Yuan may very well emerge in the Great Feng court!"
Liu Gonggong suddenly realized something.
No wonder both the Princess and Prince Lin'an speak highly of this person.
"Xiao Yunzi, from today onwards you will stay at the night watchman's office, responsible for supervising their handling of cases and promptly relaying messages to me."
Liu Gonggongdao
"Yes!" The eunuch taking notes accepted the order.
……
Su Nan led Nangong Qianrou and the others away from the Ministry of Justice.
Nangong Qianrou looked at Su Nan with a complicated expression.
"Where do we go next?"
Su Nan said calmly, "Li Yuchun, lead some men to the Zhou residence and arrest Zhou Chixiong."
"Xiao Rou, let's go back to the night watchman's office first."
Hearing Xiaorou's address, Nangong Qianrou seemed less angry.
It wouldn't hurt for this person to use the title that only their godfather usually uses... even if it's just a few times.
Considering this person can solve the case.
The night watchmen then split into two groups, one heading straight for the Zhou residence.
Su Nan and Nangong Qianrou returned to Haoqi Tower first.
Wei Yuan and Yang Yan were still in the tea room.
Seeing that the two had returned so quickly, Yang Yan asked, "Well, did you bring the person back from the Ministry of Justice?"
Yang Yan thought to himself, since Su Nan had Nangong Qianrou with her.
As long as Su Nan isn't too weak, then with Nangong Qianrou's strength, snatching someone from the Ministry of Justice shouldn't be too difficult.
