76. No newcomers

Tang Quan bowed and said, "The coroner performed an autopsy on nine corpses in Zhaixing Tower overnight. As expected, as His Highness expected, one of the deceased's throat remained highly poisonous. The coroner acted as a silver needle and the needle tip turned black."

Yes yes ~

It was quite efficient to find the arson suspect in Zhaixing Tower so quickly. Chen Lang quickly asked: "Have you checked the identity and background of the deceased?"

"Inquiry." Tang Quan's tone was also quick, "I only got the news this morning after I slept for a while. Your Highness rested assured that no matter the suspect in arson or the assassin who assassin Xu, his identity and background would be found."

"That's good." Chen Lang nodded slightly.

As long as you understand the identity background of the assassin and the arsonist, the investigation of the case will have a direction, and the suspicion that enveloped Chen Lang will probably dissipate.

After cleaning up a little, Chen Lang walked out of the prison. At this moment, the sun had already emerged, and the sunlight was neither cold nor hot on his body.

Tang Quan found a tall restaurant to invite Chen Lang to breakfast. Chen Lang asked while eating, "Why is Lord Tang so polite?"

"Emperor Xu ordered me to be responsible for this case, and Tang was under great pressure on his shoulders. Fortunately, with His Highness's guidance, he could find the suspect in the Zhaixing Tower's arson in a short time. For this reason, Tang was very grateful. If Tang met Emperor Xu recently, he would definitely reveal his highness's contributions. I believe Emperor Xu would also look at him with admiration." Tang Quan said excitedly.

Shhh ~

Chen Lang quickly made a gesture of silence. He lowered his voice: "These are all due to Lord Tang, including the restoration of the case on the scene and the strict screening of the deceased in Zhaixing Tower, which is also all for Lord Tang."

"Why do you say that?" Tang Quan was surprised.

Chen Lang leaned forward and his voice weakened to the minimum flow: "Because I am in a foreign country, it is better to be low-key, and Lord Tang needs to be promoted, wealth, fame and fortune, so I have all the credit given to Lord Tang, and I have no objection."

"So that's it, Tang is worse than obedient." Tang Quanteng stood up and walked to the side of the dining table, bowed deeply with his hands.

"polite."

Chen Lang raised his hand gently and signaled Tang Quan to stand up quickly. Anyway, this time, Chen Lang's help to Tang Quan is equivalent to helping himself, and both sides take the needs.

"Have your Highness ever thought about who the arsonist and the assassin might be?" Tang Quan asked when he sat back on the stool, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

Chen Lang blurted out: "The superficial identity of the arsonist should be a kitchen partner; as for the assassin, it may be a vendor or a farmer on the surface. But their real identities are both dead soldiers, dead soldiers raised by someone."

"Well..." Tang Quan nodded slowly, "In order to protect the mastermind behind the scenes, both suspects chose to commit suicide by taking poison. There is a saying in our case that death has no evidence. At present, this situation seems a bit tricky."

Tang Quan's words are not an unfair concern. In this world, the dead men raised by wealthy and powerful families are very loyal. They have been trained as tools since childhood, whether in thought or in action.

Apart from repaying the master, they have almost no feelings, just like flesh and blood robots, who can go through fire and water at any time due to the master's orders.

Moreover, the dead men are often kept secretly, and their background is usually difficult to find. In addition, most of the dead men are orphans and have been trained to erase their whereabouts for a long time. If the arsonist and assassin are really dead men this time, it would be really troublesome.

Chen Lang lowered his head, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He asked, "Will we continue to go to the yamen later, look through the files and then interrogate the detained suspect?"

"Yes." Tang Quan answered dumbly, wondering why Chen Lang asked like this.

"So where are the survivors of the Zhaixing Tower fire? Especially the survivors who ran out of the second floor." Chen Lang held the teacup with one hand and almost crushed the teacup.

"A small number of people who have resurrected injuries are undergoing treatment, and most of them are locked up in Zhongcheng Government Office." Tang Quan told the truth.

Chen Lang said slowly: "Yesterday, through the case site restoration, it was judged that there were more than one arsonist at Zhaixing Tower. If we infer this, it means that there were still arsonists who did not commit suicide, but chose to leave Zhaixing Tower. He might have escaped from Huaining, and perhaps mixed with the rest of the survivors."

Tang Quan nodded thoughtfully: "The palace maids and kitchen staff who survived Zhaixinglou are both key suspects. Their interrogation has never stopped, but no reliable evidence has been found."

"Can other arsonists escape from Huaining City?" Chen Lang took a breath.

"It shouldn't be. Huaining had strictly locked down the city as soon as the incident happened. Moreover, the survivors and the nine dead died were exactly the same as the total number of staff members of Zhaixing Tower on the eve of the previous day, and the verification was completely consistent." Tang Quan frowned.

"Are there any new people among them?" Chen Lang speeded up his speech.

Tang Quan shook his head: "That night, all the imperial guards, guards, kitchen servants, and palace maids all served Emperor Xu for a long time."

oh?

Chen Lang's eyebrows gradually tightened.

If these people serve Emperor Xu for a long time, the previous speculation about the deceased soldiers would be overturned, because raising the deceased soldiers must try to separate themselves from the outside world, so as to make them more convenient for brainwashing. From this perspective, those who raise the deceased soldiers cannot be foolish and let the deceased soldiers follow Emperor Xu for a long time, because that will shake their beliefs.

"What do you think about Your Highness?" Tang Quan asked impatiently.

"First focus on the survivors, especially those who escaped from the second floor of Zhaixing Tower." Chen Lang blurted out.

...

Government hall lobby.

Chen Lang looked at the file very quickly. All the selected files were related to the survivors, but he did not see any clues. It is no wonder that the records on the file were all routine interrogations.

Since that's the case, Chen Lang simply went straight to the cell.

"Your Highness goes out and walk to the right first."

Tang Quan said, following Chen Lang step by step. In just one day, the backbone of the investigation was replaced by Xu Guoming detective Tang Quan to Liang Prince Chen Lang.

"All those survivors must have experienced severe torture." Chen Lang's expression was unnatural when he spoke. With his values, severe torture was not desirable, but in this world where investigation technology and means of investigation are seriously lacking, he often can only rely on extraordinary means.

"Yes." Tang Quan walked half a step forward to Chen Lang, "Although the Beijing investigation is imminent, this case is really special. Emperor Xu has expressed his attitude, and he will fight if he should be threatened if he should be threatened."

So very good.

Chen Lang originally wanted to say the above four words, but when he spoke, he felt that it was inhumane, so he swallowed it hard again.
