Chapter 57

Constable Wang also had a headache: "This is also the place we are puzzled about, so we came to you to understand the situation. Master Chen, please don't take it to heart, we don't suspect you, just understanding the situation."

Chen Yucheng nodded: "My Lord, these two things really have nothing to do with me. It's just that this case happened at night, and I can't find a way to prove my innocence. How about this, you can search my martial arts hall as you please, how about that?"

"Then I'll be troublesome, Master Chen, this is my duty, please forgive me!"

Constable Wang said apologetically.

Since he came, it's impossible to leave after just listening to Chen Yucheng's explanation.

No matter what, the investigation procedure cannot be less.

Chen Yucheng smiled slightly: "No problem. If it can be investigated clearly, it can also prove my innocence."

Constable Wang nodded.

He waved his hand, and the dozen or so constables dispersed to take action.

Some were searching, some were questioning.

Half an hour later.

The dozen or so constables all returned, shaking their heads one after another.

Constable Wang cupped his fists: "Master Chen, sorry for the disturbance this time, I'll take my leave."

"Go slowly, My Lord!"

Chen Yucheng saw Constable Wang and the others out of the Chen Martial Arts Hall.

Watching them go away, when he turned around, his expression instantly became stern, and two rays of bright light flashed in his eyes.

"Yin Qi!"

Chen Yucheng had an eighty percent certainty that the murderer last night was Yin Qi.

Who else doesn't know Yin Qi's strength, doesn't he know?

It's completely possible to complete the two cases last night.

The key is that Caohe Gang leader Lv Xianba was also killed by a knife technique, and he had long suspected that it was done by Yin Qi.

The foreigners living in the prefecture government office and Lv Xianba were all because they offended the Yin family.

Once can be called a coincidence, twice cannot be described as a coincidence.

It's just the only puzzling place, why did Yin Qi destroy the church too?

I'm afraid there is another hidden secret in this.

"Perhaps, this is an opportunity!"

Chen Yucheng whispered to himself.

For Yin Qi, he really appreciated him and loved his talent.

Originally, according to the plan, he was waiting for the uprising to make the Yin family have to rely on them.

Now it seems that this matter is a turning point.

The Yin family's eldest young master 'fled with the money', Yin Chengtao is bedridden, and from now on, Yin Qi will be in charge of the Yin family.

Steam engine factory.

After breakfast, Yin Qi inspected this factory.

He didn't intervene casually, just encouraged the workers, promised to increase their wages after production, and encouraged the foreign technicians with high salaries, letting them complete the worker training as soon as possible.

As for Jason and the others, Yin Qi naturally killed them quickly.

But for these technicians, he still mainly tried to win them over, and would treat them well before squeezing out their value.

There's no way, China in this era is really short of technical personnel.

At this time, someone came to report: "Second Young Master, government officials have come outside!"

Yin Qi was mentally prepared, pretending to be puzzled: "What are government officials doing here? Go, let's go see."

The head steward was also puzzled.

The two walked out of the workshop and saw Constable Wang and the dozen or so constables.

Seeing Yin Qi, Constable Wang was also startled, almost wanting to rub his eyes to see if he had seen a ghost.

Is this really Yin Qi?

The Yin Qi of the past was a playboy, often fighting and brawling, so naturally he didn't deal with Constable Wang less, so Constable Wang was very familiar with Yin Qi.

But seeing him again now, it's really like two different people.

His figure is straight, masculine and handsome, with a special temperament.

Especially those deep and bright eyes, as bright as stars, making people dare not look directly.

Thinking of this, the original contempt was immediately put away.

Yin Qi smiled gently: "So it's Constable Wang, I don't know what important matter you have, sending so many people?"

Constable Wang cupped his fists: "Greetings, Second Young Master. Second Young Master, this time the brothers are here because there are two tragic cases that need to be understood from you."

Yin Qi frowned, puzzled: "Two tragic cases?"

Constable Wang nodded: "Hmm, just last night, not only was the church destroyed, burned clean by a fire, but even the four foreigners living in the prefecture government office were slit by the throat, the means were extremely cruel."

"What, those four foreigners died? Haha, great!"

Hearing this, the head steward couldn't help but laugh excitedly, and then he saw Constable Wang and the others looking at him, instantly understanding that he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly stopped laughing and coughed: "Cough, that's really a sad thing."

Yin Qi laughed secretly in his heart, but pretended to be shocked: "They died? Didn't you say they were living in the prefecture government office last night, who dared to sneak into the prefecture government office to kill people? Wait, Constable Wang, what do you mean?"

At the end, he immediately became unhappy: "You wouldn't suspect me, would you? I have a feud with those four foreigners, and even hate them to the bone, but even if I wanted to kill them, I should wait until they left, I could do it silently, why would I be so reckless to send people to the prefecture government office to kill?"

Constable Wang nodded secretly, also feeling that what Yin Qi said made sense.

If it were anyone else, as long as they had a bit of city, they wouldn't immediately send people to sneak into the prefecture government office to kill.

Constable Wang didn't answer directly, but asked again: "Do you have any feud with the church?"

Yin Qi answered truthfully: "There is a feud, Constable Wang also knows, it's the matter of beating church members last time, it's also because I couldn't stand the church members eating things without paying, and also arrogantly beating people, so I couldn't help but take action to teach them a lesson. Later, the matter went to court, and I also paid a lot of money, but you wouldn't think that I would go crazy and destroy their whole family for that money, would you?"

Regarding the matter last time, Constable Wang naturally knew.

Although Yin Qi was a suspect, it was only a suspicion.

If it were an ordinary person, of course, they would be caught and interrogated at the prefecture government office, and if they couldn't be interrogated, they would make a false confession, nailing them down first, so they could give an account to the prefect.

But this is the Yin family's second young master, who could borrow 500,000 silver dollars from the Zhang family alone, and is also Master Chen's eldest disciple, and Caohe Gang leader Shi Zhongkui's eldest brother, both his own background and social circle are too strong.

Even the prefect, if there was no tearing of face, wouldn't dare to confront the Yin family head-on, let alone him.

Constable Wang nodded and said: "Second Young Master, there are some things that need to be asked, I hope you can answer truthfully."

Yin Qi nodded: "No problem, ask away."

"What did you do yesterday?"

"After paying off HSBC Bank's debt in the morning, I have been inspecting the family's business, because my father is bedridden and my eldest brother's life or death is unknown, I must shoulder the family's affairs."

"Did you sleep here last night?"

"Hmm, it was a bit late when I inspected to this point, so I simply didn't go back."

Not only Yin Qi, but the head steward and many others were also questioned by the constables.

Half an hour later.

Constable Wang took his men and left, not asking anything.

However, before leaving, he accepted the 100-tael silver note that Yin Qi secretly handed him, making him feel that the trip was worthwhile.

This counts as an unspoken rule.

Although nothing was investigated, if this benefit wasn't sent, the constables might talk nonsense after returning, especially in such major matters, the prefect and the imperial court would attach great importance to it.

So many foreigners died at once, and a church was destroyed, I guess the Governor-General would also have a headache.
