Consecutive Strange Case!
After hearing that Zhao Gang's family lived in the county, Yang Yi finished examining the body, leaving Xing Tong and the others to continue the investigation.
Meanwhile, he brought the coroner and the others back to Yanggu County to investigate Zhao Gang's house.
After all, Zhao Gang had been killed, and he hoped to find some clues here.
"Zhao's Cloth Shop!"
Zhao's Cloth Shop was not next to the county office, but at the southern city gate.
The cloth store was quite large and business seemed to be very good. There were many foreign merchants transporting cloth.
Zhao Gang's wife's surname was Chang, and her name was Chang Shuyi.
When Chang Shuyi heard that Zhao Gang had been killed, she burst into tears.
Yang Yi waited for her sadness to subside a little before he started asking questions.
After asking, the information Yang Yi obtained was similar to before.
As the sole heir of the Zhao family's clothing store, Zhao Gang was very concerned about the family business. Seeing that his sister was worried about being alone in her hometown, he rushed back to her hometown before dark.
He decided to check on the production situation the next day and inspect the growth of the crops.
Who knew that he would never return, and that he would be separated from heaven and man.
"My condolences and have a good rest. The county government will investigate this case clearly!”
Realizing that he had gained nothing, Yang Yi comforted him and returned to the county office.
After Zhang An brewed a cup of tea, he sipped the tea and pondered over the case. He realized that this case was unusual. Although he had made some discoveries, he did not know what the other party was up to.
Now, he could only wait! Only when he had more gains would he understand those mysteries.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi thought of the words on the Zhao family's wall again and decided to start from there.
"Find Wu Song!"
After thinking for a while, Yang Yi decided to take the initiative and attack from the vague hints of the deceased.
A moment later, Wu Song came before Yang Yi respectfully.
"There is something I need you to investigate in secret. Find out about the famous painters in Yanggu County.”
After Wu Song arrived, Yang Yi immediately gave the order.
Previously, he had never understood why there was a dent on the side of the middle finger of the deceased Zhao Gang under the Divine Level Observation.
As he walked, he suddenly understood. Wasn't this the mark left behind by holding a pen for a long time?
According to Yang Yi's analysis, Zhao Gang might have left a mark on his account every day!
But why did the deceased point to that calligraphy?
There were only a few words on it,'Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Father, and Master'. He could not think of any connection between this calligraphy and the case.
However, since there was a clue, he had to investigate it!
Yes, sir!
Wu Song immediately carried out the order and threw Wu Dalang's matter aside.
After all, Wu Dalang wouldn't die. This was a murder case, and Wu Song was completely clear about the severity of the case.
Other than this clue, the other clues were basically useless.
Wu Song and Xing Tong had been investigating for seven days without any substantial progress.
Just as Yang Yi was preparing to fight a protracted war, another case suddenly happened.
This case was the case that he did not want to see the most.
As the weather was getting hotter and hotter, a family suddenly caught fire! Regarding fire prevention, Yang Yi had specially instructed Supervisor Liu to increase his efforts in publicizing it.
"My lord! A fire broke out in a house in the east of the city!"
Zhang An came in to report. He was sweating profusely.
"What is it? There was a fire? Quickly follow me to the scene to take a look and call for Official Liu.”
Fire and water were merciless.
After hearing that there was a fire, Yang Yi quickly left with the bailiffs.
Not only were many ancient houses made of wood, but there were also many houses that were connected together.
If he was not careful, he might even burn down half a street, or even an entire street. Because of this, Yang Yi paid special attention to fire prevention.
"Your Excellency, it's all this lowly official's fault for being incompetent and causing the county government to lose face!”
Yang Yi soon arrived at the scene of the fire and was surprised to find that Liu Fulai had arrived first and was instructing the bailiffs to put out the fire.
He ignored Liu Fulai and only looked at the house that was on fire with a solemn expression.
It was only when he saw that it was an independent mansion that he heaved a sigh of relief.
If the houses were connected, all the residents would have to be evacuated immediately.
"Help, help!"
Yang Yi was observing the situation around him when a cry for help suddenly sounded, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Quickly find a blanket, pour water on it and rush in!”
Yang Yi immediately ordered the bailiffs to save them when he found someone calling for help.
The residents nearby were very nervous about the fire and were afraid that it would burn down their homes.
Hearing Yang Yi lift the blanket, some commoners hurriedly took out their blankets and poured a few buckets of water on them before Wu Song rushed into the house.
Then, in the thick fire, they rescued a man who had been burned beyond recognition.
After rescuing the man, Yang Yi sent someone to call the doctor while the rest continued to put out the fire.
"Milord, we've already investigated the fire. It's the residence of Wang Qingyuan, the shopkeeper of the rich and noble cloth shop."
Xing Tong, who had been ordered to investigate, had returned to Yang Yi's side and immediately told him what he had learned.
This result surprised Yang Yi.
"It's the cloth shop again! It seems that my Yanggu County's cloth shop is in trouble!”
Yang Yi was shocked when he heard that it was the rich and noble cloth shop owner's house that caught fire.
Not long ago, Zhao Gang of the Zhao's Cloth Store was killed, and now the Rich Cloth Store was on fire. Was it really a coincidence?
"Not good! Why did only one person escape? The others couldn't even hear the cry for help?”
Yang Yi suddenly realized that the case was more serious than he had imagined.
Under normal circumstances, even if the house was on fire, there should be someone calling for help or crying inside. Why couldn't he hear it?
"Xing Tong, find a few more blankets and get wet. Just take a look. Don't take any risks!"
Yang Yi thought for a moment and felt that the situation was very strange. He hurriedly ordered Xing Tong.
This was not the only strange thing about the case. Yang Yi also thought of another strange thing.
Usually, a fire in a house would start somewhere else and then spread.
If they said that they didn't have time to save the valuables, it could be understood as panic and cowardice. However, it was impossible for only one person to escape.
Under normal circumstances, even if not all of them escaped, at least half of them would escape.
It was definitely unusual for only one to escape.
There was definitely something fishy about the fire suddenly burning so big.
However, putting out the fire was more important now, so Yang Yi tried his best. The fire was too big to be put out now. He could only wait for it to burn out and stop by himself.
"Doctors, how is the patient?”
Saving one was already a blessing in disguise.
"Milord, the injured person is basically fine. Because he inhaled too much smoke, he choked and fainted. I believe he will wake up tomorrow.”
The doctors had good medical skills.
He saved Wang Sheng, who was beyond recognition and unconscious.
In this way, he would be able to understand the details when he woke up.
As this was the house of a wealthy family, the fire burned for an entire afternoon under the scorching sun before it gradually extinguished.
Finally, the people on the street relaxed and were no longer so nervous.
Meanwhile, Liu Fulai led the bailiffs on the streets to promote fire prevention to prevent a repeat of the tragedy.
"Sir, the identity of the injured has been confirmed. His name was Wang Sheng, and he was the fiancé of Zhao Xiangyan, the fabric dealer of the Zhao family!”
Yang Yi was listening to the report. When Wu Song said this, Yang Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
