If there was another culprit behind this case as he had imagined, how valuable this person's identity would be? Sun Tu shivered unconsciously. You must know that the arson case can end with the current result, and it is no longer a trivial matter to let the Shunshui Gang be willing to hand over Xu Tieying's crime. In addition, Kaifeng Prefecture and even the acquiescence of the street officials is no longer something that the powerful and powerful in the court can do easily.

Of course, Sun Tu wanted to find out the truth, but he knew better that the matter had not left much time and opportunity for him now, and there were no exact clues in his hands. Moreover, if there were really valuable people involved, once he continued to investigate, he might be the person behind him to attack him. Is this really worth it?

Sun Tu is not a saint after all. He has his own ideals and his relatives to protect. It is impossible to sacrifice everything for a little ideal, just to find out the truth. But whenever he thinks of the more than 30 innocent people who were burned to death by the fire, he feels a lot of trouble in his heart. As a time traveler, he cannot do so at all, those officials like to ignore the lives of the people who are promoted to the dowry.

Just as he was constantly struggling and at the same time he was helpless about the case, Cui Lue Shang came to his door: "Tu Tou, there is a man named Tang Shiwu outside the yamen and said he had something to report."

This report made Sun Tu feel out of his entangled emotions. He was stunned at first. Why did Tang Shiwu come to find him in a hurry? He was about to ask someone to take him in and speak, but then he thought about it, but he stood up and said, "I'll go see him." As he said that, he walked out. Tang Shiwu and others were arranged by him to stare at the beggars near the City God Temple. Is there something wrong with it?

When he arrived in front of the government office, Sun Tu saw Tang Shiwu walking back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. Until he saw him come out, he hurriedly came over: "Sun Dutou, you have calculated that something happened in the Chenghuang Temple..."

"Oh? What happened?" Sun Tu was happy after hearing this. This might be the last breakthrough. Tang Shiwu hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Just a while ago, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed to the City God Temple and captured all the beggars. The young men did not dare to make things difficult for the officers and soldiers, so they could only come and report the news."

"Are they officers and soldiers?" Sun Tu became more and more convinced of his previous guesses. There was still the culprit in the case: "Can you recognize the origin of these officers and soldiers?"

"It should be a member of the Bingmasi." Tang Shiwu is worthy of being a native of Tokyo and is quite familiar with the complex military service institutions here.

Sun Tuze was stunned again: "Why is it related to the Military and Ma Si?" As the patrol yamen in Tokyo, the Military and Ma Si has a great power and has a certain degree of independence. Even the Ministry of War does not have the right to mobilize them. Perhaps only if the Privy Council issues an order, they can be dispatched to get people. Privy Council... A strange idea suddenly emerged from his heart. Could this be related to Tong Guan?

As Emperor Tong Guan and his former important minister, Kaifeng Prefecture can indeed close the case. As for the street officials, it is only a matter of one sentence to let him cooperate. And Shunshui Gang, perhaps they are indeed powerful, and even ordinary officials in Tokyo would give them three points, but once they faced Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor, it would be completely worth mentioning and could only act according to orders.

Everything makes sense. The only question is, with Tong Guan's identity, how could he have had any contact with an ordinary businessman like Qi Xuanwen and even made enemies? Even if he takes a step back, they do have enemies, and Tong Guan has other better means to deal with him, so he doesn't have to make things so uncontrollable.

"Du Tou..." Seeing that Sun Tu suddenly fell into deep thought, Tang Shiwu felt a little strange and couldn't help but scream and let him come back to his senses. Sun Tu smiled at him: "I understand, you go back first. Remember, don't spread this matter, the inside story is not something you can deal with."

"The villain knows." Tang Shiwu nodded and agreed. After so many years of hang out in Bianjing, they can certainly distinguish between the seriousness and the seriousness, so that they can ensure their own safety.

After sending the other party away, Sun Tu continued to turn around and walk in with his brows tightly. If the matter is really related to Tong Guan, can he continue to investigate? The difficulty has been added.

At this time, Fang Boyan was coming out of the inside with a gloomy face, and happened to be walking face to face with Sun Tu. Both of them were stunned when they met. A trace of resentment flashed in the former's eyes: "Sun Dutou, you didn't expect this case to be settled like this, right?" Although his brother's death was his own fault, it seemed that if Sun Tu had to investigate the case to the end, there would not be such a result, so he felt even more resentful towards Sun Tu.

Sun Tu looked at the other party: "Yes, I just hope Fang Aishi, you won't feel guilty in the middle of the night."

"Hehe, I naturally won't feel guilty. But Sun Duzhu, you think you have the big backer of Tong Shumi, but you can't do anything? In this way, Tong Shumi is happy to see him." As he said that, he stared at Sun Tu again, and then he left with his head held high.

Sun Tu was not angry at his provocative words, but instead heard the hidden meaning: "Is even Tong Guan happy to see the case ending like this? It seems that this case is indeed inseparable from him!" This made him fall into deep thought again: "What is the relationship between the two parties?"

Back in the signing room, Sun Tu sat on his chair, closed his eyes and thought carefully about all the details that had been found since taking over the case. From the abnormality of the fire scene to the scene of Qi Xuanhe's murder, everything flashed through his mind like a movie, looking for details that might have been neglected by him before.

In the end, all this fell on Qi Xuan and himself. However, judging from the current situation, Qi Xuan and he really have no other hidden identities, they are just an ordinary silk and fur merchant. The gap between him and Tong Guan is no different, so how could he make enemies with him?

That's not Tong Guan, but someone around him has a grudge with Tong Guan. But who would make a grudge with a businessman? After all, businessmen have always paid attention to peace and wealth...

When Sun Tu thought of the saying that harmony brings wealth, he flashed through his mind and thought of the words Qi Xuan and the ones he said to him that day-

"My businessmen are always concerned about being kind and making money. They dare not offend people at will on weekdays. Even if there is competition among peers, they will not make too deep hatreds, let alone such arson matter that concerns human life... Just a few days ago, someone took a fancy to the tiger skin in my store and wanted to buy it for a lot of money. But just two days ago, I had already negotiated a business with other customers. My businessmen were the first to be loyal. Even if the other party later offered a higher price, I was not willing to sell the tiger skin to him. At that time, the customer seemed quite annoyed, and his companion threatened to make me regret it..."

Hate, tiger skin, Tong Guan - When these three things were combined and jumped into Sun Tu's mind, a bold guess was slowly taking shape - it was Tong Guan's nephew, Sun Zhou Yun, who couldn't buy the white tiger skin, so he held a grudge. Finally, he used a knife to kill someone and instructed Xu Tieying from the Shunshui Gang to do arson and kill someone!

Zhou Yun could not be so crazy if he had just been for an ordinary tiger skin, but what if it was a white tiger skin? Sun Tuke still remembered clearly that at the birthday party that day, Zhou Yun presented a birthday gift of a white tiger skin that could treat cold pain. This was carefully prepared by him to please Tong Guan...

It turned out that all the answers were in front of him long before the fire broke out, and then he even asked about the relevant clues from Qi Xuanwen. It was just because of his negligence that he completely ignored this important clue and did not ask the specific situation of the tiger skin. If he could have asked multiple questions at that time, there might not be any subsequent changes, and Qi Xuanwen would not have to die.
