Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 265 Investigation and investigation!

To solve a case, the first priority is to go to the scene of the criminal first, and only then can we search for evidence and solve the so-called case.

Although this case is likely to be an ordinary suicide by hanging,
But for Di Ping'an, it's all here, so let's take a look first, after all, it's just a matter of raising one's legs, so you can't make a trip for nothing!

"Go back to your lord, it's... right in the backyard!"

Although these women were crying and hugging each other, their minds were still very clear, and they pointed out the direction for Di Pingan. Di Pingan immediately rushed to the backyard without any hesitation.
Leading the crowd in two or three steps, they crossed the gate of the backyard. The main house in the backyard was wide open, but the door was not closed at all. One could see a woman hanging on the beam in the middle of the main house at a glance!
Di Pingan led Song Jiang, Zhao Shan, and Qian Feng into the main house, and saw that the woman hanging from the beam had not been untied until now. A white damask strangled the woman's neck, and her body was still hanging On the beam, under my feet is a stool that was kicked down,

The whole scene seemed to have no problems, it was indeed the scene of hanging himself!
Di Ping'an raised his head and looked at Mrs. Chen. Sure enough, his tongue was sticking out and his eyes were wide open, which also fit the characteristics of hanging himself. However, looking at the situation in the house, Di Ping'an always felt that something was wrong: "Song Jiang, go and kill the Chen family just now. Call some cooks and maids!" Di Ping'an turned to Song Jiang and said,

"Yes!" Song Jiang agreed, and then took someone to call the maids and cooks in the front yard over.

After a while, Song Jiang brought those people from the front yard over. Because Chen's body had not been taken down yet, these maids and cooks were still huddling together, looking very scared. look like,

"Don't be afraid, let me ask you, the one who hanged himself from the beam of the house is the mistress of your Chen family, Mrs. Chen, right?"

Di Pingan used his peripheral vision to illuminate the maids and cooks, and found that their panic at the moment did not seem to be pretending deliberately, but was really scared!
Hearing the official's question, among the cooks and maids, one of the older women immediately said to Di Ping'an, "My lord, this is the mistress of our Chen family."

"Well, who among you found out that Mrs. Chen had hanged herself first!"

Di Pingan looked at these cooks and maids and asked, Mrs. Chen is dead, and dead people can't speak, so the No.1 certificate was the first to find the scene.

Hearing Di Ping'an's question, the cooks and maids were taken aback for a moment. It was still the older woman who said to Di Ping'an: "My lord, didn't you be invited by Steward Wang? Madam's body is Wang's." The first time the butler found out, it was also the first time the steward Wang went to report to the officials!"

Butler Wang, report to the official!

Di Pingan was stunned for a moment, this matter is getting more and more interesting, there is actually a Wang Butler, but he doesn't know what is the origin of this Wang Butler?
When she found out that her mistress had hanged herself, her first reaction was not to save her, but to report to the police, as if she had already confirmed that Mrs. Chen had been hanged to death, which is indeed a bit strange!
When Di Ping'an was thinking about what to do next, a group of people rushed in from the backyard, and the leader was a middle-aged man in a hurry:

"Several adults are in this room. I got up in the morning and was about to report the situation at home to my wife, but I didn't see her reply. When I opened the door in a hurry, I saw that my wife had hanged herself! My lords... who are you? "

Steward Wang rushed into the backyard with a group of people in a hurry, and found a young man in a blue official robe staring at him with a smile.

Hasn't he already reported to the police?Where did these officials in front of you come from?

"This is the steward Wang of your Chen residence!" Di Pingan looked at the steward Wang in front of him, and immediately asked the cooks and maidservants just now!
"My lord, this is indeed the steward Wang of our Chen residence, but..."

At this moment, the maids and cooks in Chen's mansion were immediately confused, why did two sets of official messengers come?What's going on here?
The steward Wang shook his head vigorously at this moment, and then looked at Di Ping'an and asked, "Dare to ask this lord, are you..."

At this moment, although Steward Wang was in the dark, no matter what, Di Ping'an was wearing a blue official robe representing the seventh-rank county magistrate, and this Steward Wang did not dare to be too presumptuous.

"I am the county magistrate of Chang'an Wannian County. I heard that there was a murder case here, and I brought people to search and investigate. You are the housekeeper of the Chen residence, and you were the first to discover that Mrs. Chen had hanged herself?"

Di Pingan suddenly said in a deep voice, although he is young, he has a lot of official authority, and he put on a good posture, which really bluffed everyone else!

The county magistrate of Chang'an Wannian County?
But when Di Ping'an finished speaking, everyone was stunned, as if they had never heard of a county named Wannian in Chang'an!

When Di Pingan saw everyone's reaction, his face darkened for a moment. In other words, the presence of Wannian County is indeed too low. No two people in this huge Chang'an City really knew about Wannian from the beginning to the end. County!

At this moment, Steward Wang couldn't help but look at the group of arresters who came behind him!

There are about eight or nine of these arresting yamen servants, and the main one is an official in his forties.

After all, Chang'an is the capital of the empire, and ordinary cases don't require officials to intervene, just send some headhunters to come, but what happened this time was a murder case after all,
Therefore, a chief of the Chang'an Mansion led a group of yamen servants to arrest the police, and specially dealt with this case!
But even the head of Chang'an Mansion was a little dumbfounded at this moment,
How come there is a county magistrate here? Is there a county magistrate in Chang'an City?
However, since he was the one who dared to wear a blue official robe blatantly, this Chief Song from Chang'an Mansion didn't dare to be careless, and immediately asked, "My lord has invited you, may I ask where your lord is on business?"

Di Ping'an was really speechless this time, and just rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that the popularity of Wannian County was so low that even the higher authorities couldn't remember it?

Seeing Di Ping'an's dark face, Song Jiang hurried back:

"My lord has invited you. We are the officials of Wannian County in Chang'an Prefecture. This is the county magistrate of Wannian County. Lord Di Ping'an is the champion of Xinke!"

Di Ping'an, the new champion!
When everyone heard this, they were even more stunned. This year's No. [-] scholar seemed to be called Di Ping'an, but why did this No. [-] scholar become a county magistrate!
