Chapter 220 Reflection and Reflection
Thinking of this, Qian Kun immediately called his men and ordered, "Investigate Longfa Trading Company thoroughly for me to see what Boss Bai was doing last night."
"Yes!" The subordinate responded and went out to find out the news.
After a short while, the subordinate returned and said to Qian Kun, "Sir, I've checked everything. Boss Bai was at the inn the entire night. It's said that after learning about the fire, he lost his temper at the innkeeper. Also, he called in a doctor last night, supposedly to treat two outsiders."
"I understand. Go away." After sending his men away, Qian Kun sat down and began to ponder.
Over the years, he had worked with several major businesses and had a good understanding of their owners' personalities. If there wasn't something going on, Mr. Bai would never have stayed in the business for such a long time, and not even slept.
From all indications, the fire at the inn was most likely set by Mr. Bai. And the people who were burned to death were most likely the ones he had sent for.
But now the person has been burned to charcoal, so he can't check even if he wants to.
However, this Mr. Bai actually killed people so blatantly. This shows that he does not take him, the prefect, seriously. He needs to be punished.
"Someone, please invite Mr. Bai over."
Qian Kun gave an order, and immediately someone from the yamen went to look for Mr. Bai.
However, Master Bai had just fallen asleep when he was suddenly woken up. He was in a very bad mood and lashed out at the steward who called him. It was not until he learned that it was the prefect who wanted to see him that he calmed down a little, changed his clothes, and went to the government office.
Qian Kun waited for a long time before Mr. Bai arrived. In addition, the inn was burned down and several people died, so he was already angry.
Seeing that Bai Dongjia was still as nonchalant as before, he immediately became furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "Bai Qimin, you are so bold! You actually dared to do such a thing under our noses. Do you still have our government in your eyes?"
Bai Qimin was stunned, then he knelt down and cried out, "Sir, I don't know what I did wrong to make you angry. Please tell me clearly."
"You don't know what you did wrong? Tell me, what happened to the fire in the inn and what happened to those people who were burned to death?"
"Sir, how would I know?" Bai Qimin looked at Qian Kun innocently. Although he was the one who did it, he was not going to admit it.
Anyway, there is no evidence, so even if Qian Kun knew that he did it, he couldn't do anything to him.
"You?" Qian Kun was furious. He knew it was Bai Qimin's doing, but he couldn't find any evidence. His men had set a fire and left, and it was late at night, so no one saw it.
"Sir, calm down. The murderer will be found eventually. Don't worry."
Seeing Bai Qimin's fearless look, Qian Kun calmed down. He looked at him and said, "Bai Qimin, don't treat others as fools. If you can burn down the inn today, someone might have burned down your mansion yesterday. I heard that your storehouse was burned down two days ago, and nothing inside was left. Haven't you ever thought about why this happened?"
"You know, you've been doing business honestly before, and nothing like this has ever happened to you. This time, you were always trying to steal other people's things, but in the end, you didn't get anything, and instead suffered heavy losses. Don't you reflect on this?"
