Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 274

274 Suicide out of fear of punishment (3)

“Governor, this, this ...” The magistrate’s face was pale and his lips trembled. He could not even complete a sentence.

“Why are you panicking?” Governor Zhang took a look at song Changfu’s body and had no choice but to bring the magistrate out of the bedroom to the study room, where he told him about the reversal of the case.

So it turned out that envoy song was the one who colluded with the witch God religion to deliver military supplies to the mountain bandits?

The magistrate’s eyes were dull, and he could not digest this shocking news for a long time.

“This matter should be announced as soon as possible to prevent the hearts of the officials in Yunzhou from wavering.”

The position determines one’s thinking. Governor Zhang was currently thinking about how to appease the officials and maintain stability.

If Xu Qi ‘an was here, the first thing he would do was to nitpick the corpses and the case until there was no omission.

Just as he was speaking, the Tiger guard came in to report, “”Your Excellency, the coroner has finished the autopsy.”

“Send him in,” Governor Zhang said.

The coroner hurried in with his head lowered.

“Go ahead.”

“Yes!” “The deceased, song Changfu, was 45 years old and six feet and an inch tall. His head, hair, skin, and bones were all intact.” The coroner said. There were no other injuries to his limbs and torso except for the knife wound on his chest.

“No strange smell or color in the mouth and throat, not poisoned to death. After examination, the cause of death was a knife wound on the chest. It was a suicide.”

“Preserve the body properly,” Governor Zhang nodded. He then turned to the magistrate and said,”gather all the officials of the sixth rank and above in White Emperor City to the Yamen of the administration department.” I have something to say.”

After making the arrangements, Governor Zhang frowned and pondered for a long time. He then summoned a copper Gong and ordered, ”

“Quickly return to the relay station and tell Xu Qi ‘an what happened here. Listen to his opinion and report to me. Oh yes, that includes the coroner’s autopsy report.”

.....

At the relay station.

what, emissary song buzheng is dead?!

Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes widened in shock.

“The governor would like to ask for your opinion.” The messenger Gong sat on the table with his feet on the long bench. He held a teacup in his hand and took a sip.

“That song guy is quite tactful. When he heard us break in, he knew that he couldn’t escape and committed suicide to escape punishment. The provincial governor sent me back to ask you what you think of this matter.”

Yuan Fang, what do you think ... Xu Qi ‘an subconsciously thought of this famous line.

He had not expected song Changfu to commit suicide to escape punishment. He had thought that there would be a chance for Liang Youping and song Changfu to go to court.

Xu Qi ‘an’s mind was extremely tired, and he had to think about things one by one.

Was it the governor’s strategy of ‘speed is the most important thing in war’ that made song Changfu feel that the situation was hopeless and he chose to commit suicide?

But normally, shouldn’t he not shed tears until he saw the coffin ... This wasn’t a game where he would shoot a five-pointer just because he felt like he was at a disadvantage ... He had died a little too rashly. Hmm, it was also possible that the dream wizard who had not appeared had killed him to silence him.

‘That’s not right, the dream wizard must first expose himself before he can kill someone ...’ But how did he know that the matter had already been exposed?

In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.

“Song Changfu must have spies near the relay station, keeping an eye on the situation here. It could be that fourth stage dream wizard. When the bodyguards from Fushun bodyguard agency escorted Liang Youping in, even though he had a gunny sack over his head, the crippled man’s walking style was very obvious.”

“Song Changfu already knew that Liang Youping had been caught ...” Xu Qian made a judgment in his heart. He finally realized what was wrong.

They interrogated Liang Youping in the courier station for more than half an hour, and then the provincial governor led the team into the chief administrator’s mansion. Even with the speed of the Tiger guards, it would take at least forty minutes to get from the courier station to the chief administrator’s mansion. Would song Changfu just sit at home and wait for death during such a long time?

However, song Changfu was indeed dead, and the coroner had already verified his identity ... F * ck!

“Not good, we’ve been tricked!”

Xu Qi ‘an blurted.
