Chapter 70
In Pingfu under the moonlight, corpses were everywhere, which was shocking.
Zhou Jian made some observations and found that there were no traces of homicide here. Ping Yu must have been forced to death. Knowing that the matter was exposed, he killed the whole family first, and then committed suicide.
Too cruel!
"Didn't you find anything when you first came here?" Zhou Jian asked.
Qin Zhen and others shook their heads and said seriously: "Your Majesty, no, everything in Ping Mansion is normal. There are no accounts or any suspicious letters."
"We've searched almost everywhere."
Zhou Jian killed decisively: "Impossible!"
"According to what Xia Qiu said, this Ping Yu is quite high-level and knows a lot of things. He must have received a lot of illegal money. He dare not deposit it in the bank. He must have hidden it."
"And a person in his position doesn't have any secret letters. Is he a liar?"
"The more normal it is, the bigger the problem is!"
As he spoke, he began to walk around randomly in the yard. Qin Zhen and others behind him did not dare to say a word and followed him one after another, completely regarding Zhou Jian as their backbone.
The calmness and wisdom he displayed gradually became convincing.
The investigation lasted for half an hour, but there was still not much progress. The Ping Mansion, where thousands of people gathered, was extremely depressed and silent. If Zhou Jian could not produce strong evidence, then it would be a complete failure.
Finally, he noticed something unusual!
This is the study room where Ping Yu committed suicide. It has many cabinets and is antique. Zhou Jian sniffed the room and smelled a faint smell of ashes.
Something burned here!
He kept sniffing, looking for the origin of the smell.
The others did not dare to breathe and followed suit one after another, looking suspicious. What is Your Majesty doing?
Zhou Jian stopped suddenly, and everyone behind him almost ran into him and was in a panic.
Bang bang bang!
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall. The crisp sound made his ears twitch slightly, and the smell seemed to come from inside.
They knocked on three walls in succession. Qin Zhen and others were confused and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, we checked and found that every wall is solid and there is no dark room."
Zhou Jian suddenly turned around and smiled mysteriously: "Really?"
"Break this place open!" he immediately ordered.
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment and looked at one of the walls. He had inspected this place and there was no way he could make mistakes, but the sacred order could not be disobeyed. He immediately asked someone to pick up a sledgehammer and smash the wall directly.
boom!
boom!
The Yulin guards were all tall and strong soldiers with great strength. At this moment, they took turns smashing the wall, making the entire study tremble and the vibrations resounded throughout the yard.
One blow, ten blows, twenty blows...
There was still no reaction at all. It was estimated that the entire study would collapse if it was hit like this. At this time, Qin Zhen and others had already become suspicious. After all, the sound in the darkroom was not like this.
"Keep smashing!" Zhou Jian shouted with a cold face.
Everyone was shocked and immediately continued to act, not daring to delay.
In this way, the long process of smashing the wall continued. Several groups of people changed, and the wall was already cracked...
Suddenly, boom!
As the last hammer fell, the hard wall roared, and the thick stone bricks collapsed, revealing a dark passage, and a pungent smell of ash floated out.
"Look, there really is a darkroom!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" the Imperial Guard shouted in surprise.
Qin Zhen was in disbelief at first, and then his face turned red. He had just vowed...
"Your Majesty, how do you know there is a dark room here? The sound doesn't sound like it."
Zhou Jian smiled. He couldn't say that he had learned it from the special military class in his previous life: "There is something wrong with this wall. As long as you add some special sand and gravel mixed with water, it can be soundproofed and reinforced. It is no different from a solid wall."
