Hai Family is a wealthy family of Heaven-Answering Prefecture, and his family's main business is silk and satin business.

Late one night more than half a year ago, a fire suddenly broke out in the house. When neighbors found out, they reported the incident.

The fire has spread throughout the courtyard.

Wait for the neighbors to put out the fire completely.

The police from the government office arrived.

In the end, only thirteen corpses were unearthed from the ashes. They were Hai Family, young and old. Even the servants were not spared.

When he turned to the corpse and scene investigation records, Su Fei's fingers stopped.

Thirteen people were written Hai Family on the corpse. They all died in the bedroom. There were burn marks on the body surface but no external injuries.

On the site sketch attached, it is clearly marked that the door of the house is locked from the inside, with no signs of impact or prying, and that the doors and windows of each bedroom are closed from the inside without damage.

"Something's wrong."

God-tier Insight Technique operates automatically.

He pushed the file in front of Gao Feng.

"Lord Gao, look at this file. Everyone died in the bedroom. The door, bedroom doors and windows were all locked from the inside."

"Even if a person is sleeping when a fire breaks out, after being awakened by the thick smoke, the instinct will be to flee out the door. Why would he stay in the bedroom and wait to be burned?

"And the door is locked from the inside. Could it be that Hai Family people locked the door themselves and waited for the fire to come in."

"And there are no traces of the impact. Don't they want to escape?

Gao Feng came over to take a look and reacted instantly, his face became extremely solemn.

"Lord Su said it doesn't look like an accidental fire."

Su Fei nodded and said.

"It was clear that someone trapped the Hai Family people in the bedroom first and then set the fire on them. Otherwise, how come everyone couldn't escape and all died in the bedroom?"

"You have to ask the person who made the decision at the time."

Su Fei said to Gao Feng.

"It is said that Heaven-Answering Prefecture Judicial Joiner is here. Judicial Joiner is in charge of criminal matters. He must know about this case."

Gao Feng Immediately ask people to pass justice and join the army Yang Yinglong.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a cyan Sixth Rank cyan official uniform and a thin face walked in. He was Yang Yinglong, a member of the judicial army.

When he saw Gao Feng, he first bowed and saluted with a respectful tone.

"This official Yang Yinglong has met Associate Prefect Gao."

When he turned to look at Su Fei, he quickly handed over his hand with a polite smile on his face.

"I've long heard that Thousand Households Commander Su solved the big tax case of Guangling. He is a pillar of Imperial Guard. It's a real honor for me to meet you today."

Su Fei was not interested in chatting with him, so he directly handed Hai Family the file on the fire case.

"Staff Officer Yang, look at this file. The Hai Family fire case half a year ago was decided by you as an 'accidental fire'. Take a look now and see if there is anything wrong."

Su Fei stared closely at Yang Yinglong.

Yang Yinglong took the file and his eyes just fell on the Hai Family fire case. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and the fingers holding the file trembled slightly.

However, he quickly forced himself to calm down, lowered his head and quickly flipped through the file, then raised his head, trying his best to pretend to be calm.

"Thousand Households Commander Su, this case was carefully investigated by the subordinate at the time, and it was indeed an accidental fire."

"Accident, you told me it was an accident."

Su Fei stared at Yang Yinglong, the pressure in his tone suddenly increased.

"Thirteen people died in the bedroom. The doors and windows were locked from the inside. There was not even the slightest trace of escape. Staff Officer Yang, you have been in charge of Heaven-Answering Prefecture's punishment for so many years. Don't you even have the common sense that people can escape in a fire? Or are you deliberately ignoring these doubts and defining the criminal case as an accident?"

Each word is like a sword, sonorous and powerful.

Yang Yinglong suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

He wiped his forehead subconsciously, his eyes evasive, not daring to look at Su Fei, and hesitantly defended himself.

"Su...Thousand Households Commander Su, you misunderstood. Everyone at the Hai Family was dead at that time. There was no victim, and no one cooperated with me in the investigation. Moreover, the scene was a mess in the fire, and many clues were lost. What I thought at that time was that this case should be closed as soon as possible without delay to investigate other cases. It was an accident. It was my negligence at the time and did not pay attention to these details!"

"In the case of thirteen lives, you said it was negligence, but you said it was just a detail?"

Su Fei sneered, picked up the corpse record on the table, pointed to the writing on it, and said word by word.

"It is clearly written on the corpse that there are no signs of escape, and the doors and windows are locked,' and the detective who inspected the scene also signed it. These are all clues on the surface. Would you ignore it? Staff Officer Yang, you are a judicial officer of Heaven-Answering Prefecture, not a new police officer. Would you make such a low-level mistake?"

These words were like a hammer, hitting Yang Yinglong's heart hard.

His face instantly turned pale, his legs were shaking slightly, and the composure he could barely maintain completely collapsed.

His lips moved, but he could no longer say a complete sentence. He could only lower his head, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped on the file.

Su Fei saw all this in his eyes and already had a conclusion in his mind.

This Yang Yinglong is definitely a ghost.

Hai Family The fire case was not an accident at all, but a man-made murder.

And this Yang Yinglong definitely deliberately closed the case as an accident.

Thinking of this, Su Fei no longer hesitated.

Anyway, Imperial Guard can deal with the case first and then report it.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stopped talking nonsense. He was going to try out Imperial Guard's power to handle the case.

His figure suddenly moved.

The next second, he was already in front of Yang Yinglong. His right hand clasped Yang Yinglong's left arm like an iron clamp. He exerted force on his knuckles and heard a crisp "click" sound. The severe pain of dislocation instantly swept through Yang Yinglong's whole body!

"Ah, what are you doing."

Yang Yinglong let out a shrill scream, his official uniform instantly soaked in cold sweat, and his left arm dropped weakly. The pain made him tremble all over, he couldn't even stand steadily, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Su Fei didn't give him a chance to breathe. He pressed his shoulder with his left hand and pinned him to the spot. Grandmaster Realm's momentum exploded without reservation.

The oppressive feeling as thick as a mountain made Yang Yinglong feel as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat, his heart was grabbed by a big hand, and even breathing became difficult. Fear overwhelmed him like a tide.

"Yang Yinglong, now, you still want to hide it."

"You have a problem with this case. If I want to investigate, I will be able to get to the bottom of it sooner or later! But if you tell the truth now, I can still give you a way to survive; if you dare to hide it again, I don't mind letting you try Imperial Guard Imperial Prison's methods."

Yang Yinglong was overwhelmed by this aura, and the severe pain in his left arm was still spreading. He heard the big words Imperial Guard Imperial Prison again. In addition, the Imperial Guard Thousand Households Officer in front of him was definitely not a kind person. If he continued to hide it, he would only die.

He fell to his knees with a plop, his voice filled with tears.

"I said, I said, Lord Su spare your life."

Gao Feng stood aside, looking at Su Fei's crisp and neat methods, secretly dumbfounded in his heart.

The judicial officer of the first government joined the army, Subordinate Sixth Rank's official, who was considered a big shot in Heaven-Answering Prefecture, was just taken over by Thousand Households Commander Su.
