Chapter 201: Sacrifice one's own relatives for the sake of justice, a self-torture tactic?
Mr. Xie was already the head of the Beichang Factory, so naturally he couldn't live in the palace.
Moreover, Chen Dong was worried. If Mr. Xie got upset and attacked Yan Yunzheng, he would regret it.
In view of the special nature of Beichang, Chen Dong settled them near Xidaying and converted a private house into a government office.
It was a cold night with no stars or moon.
Chen Dong, along with Yan Shiqi and a few others, carrying lanterns, went straight to the Beichang government office.
Outside the government office, everything was silent and solemn. The dim light reflected the figure standing in front of the government office.
Thank you, Mr.
Chen Dong's face was as gloomy as the night, and his eyes were like sharp swords, staring straight at Mr. Xie in front of him.
In front of the government office, an old man with gray hair, a haggard face, staring eyes, and a hunched body was standing there blankly. It was as if he had lost his soul, motionless, silent, and shrouded in a death wish.
Chen Dong frowned. This person turned out to be Mr. Xie. His appearance had completely changed. It was no exaggeration to say that he had turned upside down.
Mr. Xie, who was once full of vigor and vitality, is now like a piece of rotten wood that may collapse at any time.
"What is Mr. Xie talking about?" Chen Dong narrowed his eyes.
Elder Xie said in a hoarse voice, "Waiting for Commander Chen."
After a pause, Elder Xie continued, "They wanted to arrest Xie Qingfeng. Although I stopped them, I knew the commander would definitely come."
Chen Dong snorted heavily, "Since you know I'm coming, hand him over! Don't forget your current identity!"
Elder Xie sighed deeply, "Commander, come in and talk."
Chen Dong followed Mr. Xie into the yard and immediately saw a corpse lying in the yard.
There was a wound on the corpse's chest, and the blood that flowed out had soaked the clothes red. The pale, bloodless face looked like a dead fish that had been dead for many days.
Yan Shiqi exclaimed: "Xie Qingfeng!"
Just when they were about to look for Xie Qingfeng, Xie Qingfeng died. Was it a coincidence or was it to silence him?
Chen Dong narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean, Mr. Xie?"
Mr. Xie sighed and said, "People with different ideals cannot work together. He and I have different philosophies, so it is inevitable that we will come to blows."
After Chen Dong's preparation and Yan Wudi's guidance, Mr. Xie has come to realize that only when the world is unified and the people are stable can the ideas of the various schools of thought be better spread.
However, Xie Qingfeng and his colleagues still believe that only by eliminating conflicts in the world can one reveal the truth and spread the names of various philosophers.
Because the two sides have different ideas, there is a dispute and a murder?
Chen Dong still had some doubts and felt that there must be some hidden story behind this matter.
Be careful and cautious.
Chen Dong's eyes narrowed and he took a deep breath, "Did you kill him?"
Mr. Xie pursed his lips, his eyes dim, "Rather than letting him suffer, I'd rather give him a quick death."
Chen Dong looked at Mr. Xie deeply.
This person is really decisive!
However, Xie Qingfeng's relationship with Old Xie was ordinary. Could he really do it?
After thinking for a moment, Chen Dong said decisively, "Take the body back."
"Commander, the person is already dead, there's no need for that." Old Xie pleaded with Chen Dong.
Chen Dong ordered: "I am doing this all for Dayan, Mr. Xie doesn't need to think too much."
Yan Shiqi waved his hand, and two Jinyiwei came forward, carried the corpse and walked out.
Old Xie moved his lips and whispered, "Please leave a complete body so I can bury him."
"Of course. Once the identity is verified, it will be returned to you." Chen Dong said.
"Thank you for sacrificing your own family for the sake of justice. This commander deeply admires you. You can stay at home and recuperate for the next few days. You will be rewarded soon."
Mr. Xie smiled self-deprecatingly.
The incense has stopped burning, to whom will his reward be left?
Chen Dong and Yan Shiqi and others returned to Jinyiwei and temporarily sealed the body.
After dawn the next day, Chen Dong immediately asked someone to identify the body and invited a coroner to examine the cause of Xie Qingfeng's death.
The preachers who were captured all confirmed that the body was Xie Qingfeng. After the autopsy, the coroner also confirmed that Xie Qingfeng died from a sword piercing the heart. Judging from the direction and angle of the knife, it was homicide, not suicide.
"Is that old man really so cruel that he can kill people without any hesitation?" Chen Dong thought to himself.
He felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have taken action earlier and Xie Qingfeng would not have become a corpse.
Suddenly, he thought of Qiuyue and immediately asked someone to bring Qiuyue to identify the body.
"Commander, why are you looking for me so early in the morning? Didn't you have a good time last night?" Qiuyue sneered.
"Do you know him?" Chen Dong pointed to the corpse on the ground.
When Qiuyue saw Xie Qingfeng's body, she was shocked, "It's Xie Qingfeng! He's dead!?"
"Are you sure this is Xie Qingfeng?" Chen Dong asked.
Qiuyue nodded confidently, "I have dealt with him several times, I am sure I am not wrong."
Chen Dong suddenly narrowed his eyes, "But he is not on the list you gave me."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Although it was already late autumn, Qiuyue's body was still soaked with sweat.
"Commander, I...I..." Qiuyue's face showed panic. She forced a smile and said, "Maybe I forgot it at that time."
"You remember so many people, but you forgot him?" Chen Dong lifted Qiuyue's chin and whispered in her ear, "Don't think that you can take a place here just because of what happened last night. I am a cold-blooded person and I will kill anyone I want!"
Qiuyue's body trembled slightly, her face darkened, and a hint of fear and anxiety flashed in her eyes.
"Believe me, I really forgot it at that time." Qiuyue grabbed Chen Dong's arm and explained anxiously.
Chen Dong shook off Qiuyue's hand and said coldly: "What happened next? Why didn't you tell me these days?"
Qiuyue smiled bitterly and said, "I was so busy catching people that I really couldn't take care of it."
"Someone, lock her up. When she figures things out, bring her to see me." Chen Dong shouted in a deep voice.
"Commander! Please listen to my explanation! Xie Qingfeng and I have only met a few times, and I really forgot about it at that time, so I didn't write down his name!" Qiuyue shouted.
Chen Dong waved his hand.
She was dragged out by two Jinyiwei, and no matter how she argued, Chen Dong turned a deaf ear to her.
"Commander, this is the person in your room. Do you want to..." Yan Shiqi asked cautiously.
After every failure, Yan Shiqi is now extra cautious when dealing with women. He doesn't want to be imprisoned in the prison again because of women.
After all, they had a wonderful night. After a little hesitation, Chen Dong sighed and said, "Be nice to her."
At this moment, he began to understand Mr. Xie's helplessness.
Since there was nothing wrong with the body, he had it sent back. However, he was cautious and had someone keep an eye on Mr. Xie to see where he buried the body, and also had someone keep an eye on the body to see if anyone was trying to take advantage of the situation.
Yan Shiqi took the order and left.
"Qiuyue, I really don't want to kill you, don't force me." Chen Dong murmured.
