The Regent's Tender Darling

Chapter 164 Digging a big fish

"My lady, Miss Lotus is gone." Xuemei smiled.

"Yeah."

Lin Jiaojiao responded thoughtfully, her eyes fixed on the portrait on the table. The foreman who committed suicide out of fear of crime was called Zhang Dahu, and the woman was Zhang Dahu's wife.

So the woman felt that her husband died unclearly.

Is there a hidden story, or did Zhang Dahu really commit suicide out of fear of crime?

Thinking of this, she asked Eleven: "Why doesn't the Lin'an government accept this case?"

Eleven bowed and said: "Replying to the princess, the Ministry of Works' cases are usually handled by their special department, the Zhen'an Division, and they will report to the Dali Temple after the handling is completed."

Hearing this, she thought about it and looked at the setting sun, and said: "Let's go back to the post station first."

That night.

The more she thought about this matter, the more she felt something was wrong, so she called Eleven in before going to bed.

"Eleven, go check the place where the accident happened and ask what happened specifically."

...

-- At the same time.

The Regent's Palace has received information from Lin'an.

Listening to Ye Feng's report, Yan Sihan thought: "Ministry of Works?"

Then he seemed to think of something, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he said without anger or resentment: "Princess, you have dug up a big fish for me."

Ye Feng did not respond after hearing this, but he also thought about it secretly.

Then, Yan Sihan ordered: "Send all the information about this matter from the Ministry of Works Zhen'an Division to the princess."

...

The next morning, after Lin Jiaojiao got up and had breakfast, Shiyi handed her a bunch of information.

Among them was the investigation of this accident, including the people involved, the cause and result of the incident.

There were not many discrepancies in these materials. The accident occurred because the load-bearing wall of Warehouse No. 12 suddenly collapsed, which led to the collapse of Warehouse No. 12.

And the foreman Zhang Dahu was responsible for the load-bearing wall. From this point of view, this responsibility should indeed be borne by Zhang Dahu.

So he committed suicide out of fear of crime, and his wife, Zhang Wu, felt that he was wronged, so she went to Lin'an Prefecture to report the case?

Then there are still doubts. Why did the Dali Temple want to arrest Zhang Wu? If she was just making trouble, she would be arrested and locked up for two days at most. There would be no need for so many people from the Dali Temple to arrest her.

At this time, Eleven said: "I went to the Twelve Warehouses to investigate. Although the scene has been cleaned up, I still found something abnormal. There was no sign of collapse of the load-bearing wall of the Twelve Warehouses."

"What?" This surprised her. The load-bearing wall did not collapse? So what happened to the accident?

This news made her feel overwhelmed. The case file information given by the Ministry of Works Zhen'an Division did not match what Eleven had found.

And the important person involved here was Zhang Dahu.

She sorted out her thoughts.

Zhang Dahu committed suicide in Lin'an Prefecture for fear of crime. Zhang Dahu's wife, Zhang Wu, went to Lin'an Prefecture to complain, but Lin'an Prefecture refused to accept it. Later, she went to Jingzhao Prefecture to file a complaint, but she entered the Dali Temple for no reason.

Then she escaped from the Dali Temple and fled all the way to the Regent's Mansion, and was killed on the street by the Dali Temple.

All these things connected together made her unable to figure it out. Could it be that... Zhang Dahu did not commit suicide?

So she asked: "Eleven, where is Zhang Dahu's body now?"

Eleven replied uncertainly: "To answer the princess, it should be in the Lin'an government office."

"Go to the Lin'an government office to check Zhang Dahu's body." Then he said: "I will return to Beijing today."

She wanted to stay a few more days to find out clearly, but in the end, the most suspicious point in these things was the Dali Temple. She had to go back and let Yan Sihan deal with the Dali Temple.
