"You go and get busy." Wei Qing said.
"Yes, sir." The man turned and left.
Wei Qing continued to look at the file.
After a while, a person walked in slowly.
He was dressed in official uniform, with his hands behind his back, a middle-aged man with a somewhat elegant temperament.
He walked up to Wei Qing and said, "Minister Wu."
When Wei Qing saw him, he also greeted him respectfully, "Master Zeng."
Zeng Zuwen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look at the files. Young people are full of energy."
Wei Qing said modestly: "I have just joined the Ministry of Justice and have a lot to learn. I will just read more files and study."
"Learning is a good thing, but as someone who has been through it, I would like to remind you, Minister, not to meddle in other people's business. When I was young, I also liked to meddle in other people's business and took many detours." Zeng Zuwen said meaningfully.
Wei Qing lowered his eyes, his gaze flickered, and he said nothing.
He must be referring to the incident with Bai Muyang. Wei Qing was even more certain that this was instigated by his great-grandfather Wen.
"Many things are thankless and may lead to bad results with good intentions," Zeng Zuwen continued.
"Thank you for the reminder, sir." Wei Qing said.
After Zeng Zuwen spoke for a while, he felt that he had given enough advice and left.
Wei Qing didn't take his reminder to heart.
This case is related to Ding and Bai Muyang, and it is the grudge of the Bai family.
Why did Great-Grandfather Wen help the Ding family?
There are many suspicious points in this case.
When Wei Qing reads the files, if he sees anything related to the Bai family, he will pay special attention.
After spending most of the day, Wei Qing discovered that a file had a lot of loopholes.
The paper in the file has turned white. The case happened twelve years ago. A man reported that he saw Mrs. Guo from the Bai family being pushed into a well.
The investigation was conducted very carefully at the beginning, but later, because the reporter died and the chain of evidence was broken, the case was hastily closed and Guo's death was attributed to suicide.
Wei Qing read the file over and over again, and the more he read, the more suspicious he became.
night.
Wei Qing returned to the Marquis' Mansion and first told Tang Li what happened today.
"Zhao Ting didn't expect that the Ding family was so powerful that they could actually get the Ministry of Justice to take action."
That’s the Ministry of Justice. Although it’s not as powerful as the Dali Temple, it’s still very authoritative in the eyes of the people.
It was normal for Zhao Ting to hand the person over.
If she hadn't met her husband, this matter would have been left unresolved.
When Ms. Zeng knew that her husband had interfered in this matter, she probably panicked a little, so she came to remind her husband.
"What is the relationship between Ding and our great-grandfather Wen? Why is he willing to do this for her?" Tang Li was curious.
"We can check it out," Wei Qing said. "Wife, I saw a suspicious file in the file room today. It was about the cause of death of Bai Muyang's mother, Guo. Someone originally reported that Guo was pushed into a well, but later, the reporter died, and the case was hastily closed."
"Being pushed into the well?" Tang Li asked in surprise.
Bai Muyang's mother committed suicide, which was also a knot in his heart. Bai Muyang always felt that he was the one who was abandoned and was always worried about it.
Bai Muyang felt deeply resentful towards his mother for committing suicide for a man and abandoning him.
Tangli suddenly remembered what her brother had said: On the day his mother committed suicide, she seemed to have pulled herself together, dressing herself neatly, changing into clean clothes, and combing her hair. She must have made up her mind to start a new life. Could someone like that suddenly become so depressed that she committed suicide?
What if his mother actually loved him and planned to start a new life for him, but was brutally murdered?
If that's true, it would be too tragic.
Mrs. Guo could have lived well. She was a strong woman. If she had pulled herself together, she would have been able to provide a good life for her son, and Bai Muyang wouldn't have had to suffer so much. It wasn't necessarily a kind of happiness for the mother and son to depend on each other.
But this happiness ended before it even began because of his mother's death.
Tang Li had no way of going back to more than ten years ago to prevent this tragedy from happening. He could only find out the truth and give an explanation to the deceased Mrs. Guo and Bai Muyang.
"Husband, we must find out the truth." Tang Li said.
"Yeah." Wei Qing nodded.
"Husband, is this case from more than ten years ago difficult to investigate?" Tang Li asked.
"The person who handled this case back then was a doctor named Wu from the Ministry of Justice. Although he no longer works in the Ministry of Justice, he still lives in the capital. I will go to him tomorrow to inquire about the situation." Wei Qing said.
"Husband, I'll go with you." Tang Li said.
The next day.
Wei Qing and Tang Li came to the door of the doctor named Wu together.
It was a very remote yard, but it was very tidy and clean.
Wei Qing knocked on the door, and soon the door opened.
The person who opened the door was an old woman with half-white hair. She looked thin but in good spirits.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Wu's home?" Wei Qing asked.
The old woman squinted her eyes and looked at them. When she saw Wei Qing's badge, her expression changed slightly: "Are you from the Ministry of Justice?"
"Minister of Justice, my surname is Wu." Wei Qing said.
"What are you doing here, Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Justice? He has been away from the Ministry for more than ten years and has nothing to do with it anymore." The old woman said as she was about to close the door.
"Who is it?" At this moment, a voice sounded from inside.
"Mr. Wu, we are from the Ministry of Justice. We would like to ask you some questions about a case that happened back then." Wei Qing said loudly.
"Old woman, why are you stopping people? Let them in quickly." Old Wu's voice continued to ring out.
The old woman had no choice but to open the door and let them in.
Mr. Wu's hair is also half white, but he is in good spirits and is doing carpentry work.
The old woman walked up to him and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
"Got it. Go and pour two cups of tea for the guests." said Mr. Wu.
The old woman walked into the house.
Elder Wu looked at Wei Qing's badge and said, "So you are the Minister. Please take a seat."
Tang Li and Wei Qing sat down.
"Which case are you asking about? It has to be at least from more than ten years ago, right? I can hardly remember anything from more than ten years ago." Old Wu sighed.
"Twelve years ago, there was the case of Bai Guo jumping into a well." Wei Qing said.
As soon as Wei Qing said this, Old Wu's face changed slightly, and his expression was very complicated.
"This case." He looked at Wei Qing, his lips trembling slightly, "Does the Minister want to re-examine this case?"
Wei Qing nodded: "There are many suspicious points in this case, but because the reporter died suddenly..."
When talking about the death of the person who reported the case, a trace of guilt flashed across Mr. Wu's face.
Wei Qing continued, "The case has been handled by a new person. You were originally in charge, and after the change, the case was hastily closed."
"I want to retry this case and give the victim justice."
Mr. Wu's hands trembled slightly, and his face was filled with unconcealable excitement.
He really didn't expect that this case would be retried one day.
"This was the last case I handled," said Old Man Wu. "It's also the biggest regret of my life. Even if I die and lie in my coffin, I won't be able to rest in peace, because I didn't give Guo justice, and I didn't do what I promised the reporter. If the Minister wants to review the case, I will tell him everything I know."
As Mr. Wu spoke, he fell into memories.
The origin of all this happened on a rainy night when a girl knocked on his door...
