I am the best in the world with the crime solving system

have eaten.

Several people went to the garden together for a walk.

When they came back, several people went to the study.

After asking the maid to bring the case, Su Yuai handed it to Chen Chaoyan, "Some of the cases are from the government's investigation report after the fire broke out, and some are from before I came. Let Changqing report the officials, yamen servants, clerks, and others who participated in the investigation back then. The left and right neighbors invited you to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and carefully questioned the information. Although you have heard a lot about the case before, you still don't know much about the case investigation. Just read it first. If there is something you don't understand, I will Come back to answer. If I can't answer, then write back and ask."

Chen Chaoyan responded and opened the case file.

The first thing she looked at was the government's investigation report after the fire broke out.

The government determined that it was a tragedy caused by accidental water leakage.

In addition, most of the corpses at the scene were burned to ashes, and it was impossible to distinguish whether there were injuries, which further confirmed that this was an accident.

Therefore, the report only wrote the situation of the fire scene and the death toll.

It is such a simple description, but it is also full of useless words.

As for how the fire started, where the fire started, where the body was found, and the characteristics of the body, there is not a single word.

After quickly scanning twice, Chen Chaoyan picked up the stack of information that Su Yuai interrogated.

The interrogation information is complete.

From the memories of the two interrogators, we can know that the corpses of the 46 embroidered girls who were burnt to death, Mrs. Fang and Miss Yi, the head of Su’s family, were all in the shape of fighting fists.Among them, Mrs. Fang and Miss Yi, the head of Su's family, were completely burned into charcoal. Among the 46 embroidered women, 29 were also burned into charcoal, and the remaining [-] were mild or heavy.

Judging from the statements of the yamen servants who had participated in the on-site search, the locations of the seventeen embroidered women who had been burned into charcoal were around Mrs. Su Changfang and Miss Yi.

The officials involved in the search... under the awe of Cui Yi, confessed that after the fire broke out, they had received advice from the Su family, requesting that the case be closed as soon as possible.

The neighbors' account of the fire is: they were woken up by the thick smoke.When I woke up, the flames had already soared into the sky, and it was impossible to extinguish it with just splashing water.

According to the case record, the fire started before and after Chouzheng.

The explanation of the neighbors is around the second quarter of the ugly time.

After reading all the information from beginning to end, Chen Chaoyan asked, "Is there a floor plan of Xiulou?"

"Yes, I asked someone to draw it." Su Yuai immediately took it out of her arms and handed it to her, "I also asked someone to mark the location of everyone."

Chen Chaoyan took the floor plan and opened it. After a quick glance, he asked, "Are you sure that Mrs. Su and Miss Su live in the middle room on the second floor?"

Su Yuai nodded, "Sure."

"The seventeen corpses that were also carbonized lived in the rooms where Mrs. Su and Miss Su were aligned left and right, and the other 29 people lived in the left and right wing rooms respectively." Chen Chaoyan frowned slightly, "From the characteristics of the corpses, the fire The point should be where Mrs. Su and Miss Su live, but if it is this location, it is impossible that none of the embroidered women in the left and right rooms can escape."

Chen Chaoyan took over the few pages of information that the yamen servant gave.

According to the yamen servants, all the corpses were found from the ruins of the houses.

In other words, none of these embroidered women escaped from the house.

"Is there a problem?" Su Yuai asked hurriedly.

"Something is wrong." Chen Chaoyan brought the floor plan to her, pointed to the place with the sign, and said, "Look, the embroidery workshop as a whole is a courtyard with five entrances. The first entrance is a shop facing the street, and the second entrance It is the warehouse for storing embroidery, the third entrance is the place where embroiderers usually work, the fourth entrance is the place where embroidered women live daily, and the fifth entrance is the kitchen and other places. Let’s ignore the first three entrances for the time being, and only look at the four entrances In the courtyard, there is a garden in the middle, with mountains and water, and wing rooms on both sides, and the row next to the fifth entrance courtyard is where Mrs. Su and Miss Yichang lived at that time."

"Beautiful Country once lit a wastebasket in the experimental living room to record the time required from the start of the fire to the fire. The result was that 2 minutes after the fire started, a smoke alarm would be triggered, and 3 minutes later, the temperature would reach 2 degrees Celsius. In other words, although the escape time is only [-] minutes, judging from this plan, it is completely enough."

Ning Feiyan immediately asked Su Yuai: "Are you sure that these people all died in this position?"

Su Yuai said uncertainly: "These people who provided confessions are still imprisoned in the Governor's Mansion, so they should not tell lies."

Ning Feiyan glanced at the floor plan, "Is it possible that they didn't tell lies, but it's just been so long that they don't remember clearly?"

"Probably not." After thinking about it, Su Yuai said, "Jinxiu Pavilion, one of the great embroidery workshops in the west of the Yangtze River, caught fire when it was ordered to embroider the picture of the Empress Dowager's 40th birthday, causing Mrs. And the death of more than [-] embroidery workers in the embroidery workshop is a rare event in a hundred years. Yamen servants, office workers, officials ordered to investigate the case, and neighbors are all participants, and seven or eight years are not counted. It's been too long, so I probably won't remember clearly."

Ning Feiyan nodded and said: "It also makes sense. But in this way, the nature of the case will change."

"It's normal for changes to happen." Yun Duyao picked up the statement of the official who handled the case, and snorted softly, "After the case happened, the Su family, who was involved, didn't want to find out the truth, but secretly arranged for the official who handled the case to close the case as soon as possible. Why would they do this if they weren't guilty of being a thief?"

Ning Feiyan stopped talking.

Seeing this, Chen Chaoyan followed the trend and said, "Let's not care whether it's true or not. Judging from the current confession, this is indeed not an ordinary fire."

"Looking at this confession, when the neighbors were awakened by the thick smoke, they saw the embroidery workshop burning into the sky. It would take at least a quarter of an hour to reach this level. Jinxiufang is not a single family, it is located in the most prosperous Guangling County Even if the fire broke out in the middle of the night, it should never be discovered after a quarter of an hour. Even if there is no stars, no moon, and the sky and the earth are completely dark, but... it takes at least four quarters of an hour for a corpse to be completely carbonized in the fire. That's an hour."

"The flames are soaring. According to the conditions here, it is really difficult to put out the fire. But in the center of the fire are Mrs. Su's family and Miss Yi. Whether it is the government, or the Su family's own people, or those who took the initiative to participate in the fire fighting The common people must subconsciously rush to the fire of this building first, right?"

"If you put the fire on this building first, why..."

"Not necessarily." Ning Feiyan interrupted her, "If it is normal times, or if Jinxiufang is a single-family house, then the situation is indeed as you said. But what is the structure of the houses on this street? Yes The walls are connected to the walls, and the eaves are connected to the eaves. If Mrs. Fang and Miss Yi, the head of Su's family, are rescued first, the fire will continue to burn along both sides. At that time, the loss will not only be an embroidery workshop, but a street. "

"I didn't think about this." After Chen Chaoyan let out a few breaths, he looked at the floor plan.

Yun Duyao said: "If the fire was man-made, then this person must have taken advantage of it. It's just that none of the embroidered girls escaped. It can be understood that it was calculated by the arsonist, but what happened to the neighbors? Is it impossible to be fascinated by the arsonist too?"

Ning Feiyan looked at Chen Chaoyan.

Su Yuai and Yun Duyao followed suit.

Chen Chaoyan looked at the floor plan in his hand, "What's going on, then I have to ask the neighbors if they encountered any strange things before and after the fire. In addition..."

Looking up at Su Yuai, Chen Chaoyan said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Mr. Cui to find out the person who the official who handled the case said was in charge of the Su family. The Su family’s secret interpersonal communication, hesitation is your cheap father. Also, if those embroiderers failed to escape because they were already unconscious before the fire started, then you have to investigate... I will ask Yue Yue in a while Let them see if there are any drugs that can make people sleepy. If there are, then check whether anyone has bought related drugs in large quantities in the six months or a year before the fire."

"Only looking at the case file, I can judge so much. If you want to dig deeper, you still have to go to Guangling County."

Yun Duyao looked at Su Yuai: "Then what should we do? Transfer to Guangling County in two days?"

"No need." Su Yuai and Ning Feiyan said at the same time.

"You talk first." Ning Feiyan signaled.

Su Yuai nodded and said, "You write down the investigation process, and I'll let Changqing send it back to Guangling County to his uncle quickly, and let his uncle help with the investigation."

Ning Feiyan snapped her fingers approvingly, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. They just aren't as advanced in technology as we are, and they don't have as much experience as we do. But their methods and identities are there, as long as they mention a little bit, we can do it." The case must be much faster than ours. In addition, have you forgotten someone?"

Who?

Several people looked at her at the same time.

Ning Feiyan glanced at Yun Duyao, "Have you forgotten what her man does? Nearly 50 people died in the fire that year, and it was related to the Empress Dowager's [-]-year-old picture. No matter how you look at it, it is a very important case." The case has gone through layers of scrutiny, and will definitely be sent to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Her man is Dali Temple Minister. Even if he hadn't taken office at the time, he must have checked the case after taking office. Either call him in a while and ask Ask if there is any inside story that cannot be disclosed, or... Let him go to Guangling County to investigate."

After a pause, she said again: "It's about sisters, he won't shirk it?"

Chen Chaoyan and Su Yuai looked at Yun Duyao at the same time.

Yun Duyao said generously: "If he dares to shirk, let Feiyan beat him up, and I promise not to intervene."

Su Yuai joked: "Doesn't it hurt if you get beaten up?"

"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are running all over the street. What is there to be distressed about?" Yun Duyao hummed.

"It's good for two-legged men to run all over the street, but there are really not many men who look like Mr. Pei." Ning Feiyan said.

Yun Duyao sneered: "Then let you beat me up, will you beat me up?"

"Why don't you beat me up?" Ning Feiyan clenched her fists, "As long as you don't feel bad, I'll beat you up hard."

"Let's beat him hard." Yun Duyao said indifferently.

"Since I have beaten you hard, then I will trouble you to invite him in." Ning Feiyan instructed, "After the case of Xian Yuai is clarified, I can let go and beat him."

"Wait, I'm going!" Yun Du shook his head and called Pei Zhaoyun.

a little.

Yun Du shook back.

Not only Pei Zhao followed, but also Yao Changqing and Jiang You.

Only Xie Xuan was missing.

After watching Yao Changqing sit down beside Su Yuai and Ning Feiyan, Chen Chaoyan asked Yue Jian, who came in to wait on him, "Where is your lord?"

Yue Jian quickly glanced at Ning Feiyan and the others, and said in a low voice: "The prince is in the study."

Chen Chaoyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Yue Jian intentionally wanted to say a few more words, but after glancing at Ning Feiyan and the others again, she shut her mouth resentfully.

……

Yun Duyao was too lazy to beat around the bush, so he took the case and the floor plan and stuffed them into Pei Zhao's hands, urging him, "Did you read this case when you were in Dali Temple?"

After quickly flipping through the original case file, Pei Zhao nodded and said, "I've seen it."

"What do you think?" Yun Duyao asked directly.

Pei Zhao raised his eyes to look at Chen Chaoyan, and asked with hidden sharpness in his eyes: "I don't know what Miss Chen thinks?"

Chen Chaoyan also didn't like to beat around the bush, so she said bluntly, "It's not a simple fire."

Pei Zhao said 'oh', motioning for her to speak carefully.

Chen Chaoyan didn't hide anything, and repeated what she had said to Ning Feiyan and the others just now.

Pei Zhao said noncommittally, "If Ms. Chen was there when the fire broke out, how would Ms. Chen plan to investigate and prove that this was a premeditated murder?"

Chen Chaoyan said calmly: "I've already said the suspicious points. But if I were at the scene, I would first check the cause of the fire, then check the general situation of the accident scene, then briefly check the surface characteristics of the corpse, and finally clean up the scene, screen the evidence, and then perform the autopsy , through the circumstances of the autopsy to finally determine whether it was accident or murder."

Pei Zhao continued to ask, "How about an autopsy?"

Yun Fei slapped him on the arm, "You are here to explain the situation, not to interrogate Yan Yan!"

Pei Zhao glanced at the arm she had slapped, and explained softly: "I have heard that Miss Chen's ability to dissect corpses and solve cases is superb. Now that I finally have the opportunity to ask for advice, I can't help but ask a few more questions. How about you?" I like it, I don’t need to ask.”

Yun Duyao rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Master Pei, please don't pretend to be wronged, like how cruel I am and how much you are afraid of me."

Pei Zhaowei clenched his fist and touched the corner of his upturned mouth, then continued softly: "Yao Yao is the most gentle and kind, how can he be so cruel?"

"Shut up!" Yun Duyao glanced at Chen Chaoyan and the others who were holding back their laughter, and gritted his teeth, "I asked you to tell the case, not to show off your acting skills and pretend to be affectionate!"

"I'm waiting to shake..."

Yun Duyao pulled out the dagger in his sleeve, pulled it out with a swipe and pressed it against his neck, "Don't you dare to say one more word!"

"Okay, I won't say anything." Pei Zhaopo sighed helplessly, and said to Chen Chaoyan again, "Since you won't let me say more, then I won't beat around the bush. I wonder if Miss Chen is interested in going to Dali Temple Errand?"

Yun Duyao immediately became interested, even Su Yuai and Ning Feiyan looked over in unison.

Yun Duyao pressed the dagger tightly against his neck: "Tell me, what do you plan to ask Yan Yan to do in Dali Temple?"

Pei Zhao asked without answering, "What do you want her to do?"

Yun Du shook his eyes at Chen Chaoyan, "You also said that our Yanyan's ability to dissect corpses and solve cases is superb. So if I think about it, of course I should be the minister of Dali Temple. However, Yanyan doesn't like to argue with others the most, so what should I do?" How about the Shaoqing of Dali Temple? When the time comes, you can deal with people, and leave the autopsy and judgment to Yan Yan, how about it?"

Ning Feiyan and Su Yuai nodded in agreement.

For now, only Chen Chaoyan has no identity or career.

In their eyes, the title of Jin Wangfei, who has never been married, can only be obtained by relying on others, is false and unreal, and it is not reliable at all.

Pei Zhao still didn't answer, but looked at Chen Chaoyan and said, "What does Miss Chen think?"

How many people can become good friends is naturally because of the compatibility of temperament and three views.After taking a look at Yun Duyao, Ning Feiyan, and Su Yuai, Chen Chaoyan smiled and said, "I think it's very good, it depends on Mr. Pei's opinion."

"Since Ms. Chen thinks it's very good, it's settled like this." Pei Zhao said straightforwardly.

Yun Duyao coughed twice, and said in a low voice, "The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is not a small official, right? Can you make the decision?"

Pei Zhao looked at the dagger she retracted, and said with some regret: "Miss Chen is your friend, even if I can't make the decision, then..."

Yun Du waved his dagger, "Do you really want to die?"

"I don't want to." After Pei Zhao responded to her, he answered seriously, "It doesn't matter whether I can make the decision, what matters is whether Miss Chen is willing or not."

Yun Duyao glanced at Chen Chaoyan, then at him again, "Don't be fooled, let's talk about what's going on."

"What's going on?" Pei Zhao still pretended to be stupid, seeing her pull out the dagger again, he coughed lightly and said, "Miss Chen has made a marriage contract with the prince by holding the marriage letter written by the prince. The princess wants to be the young minister of Dali Temple, is there any problem?"

"No problem at all!" Yun Duyao said, "However, if I had known earlier, I would have made Yan Yan the minister of the Dali Temple. The minister of the Dali Temple is the biggest official of the Dali Temple, and if there are any chores, I can leave them to you. "

Pei Zhao: ...

Sure enough, it was a relationship that started with mutual use, and there was no sincerity.

There was no hesitation in selling him.

"Okay, okay, I'm just joking." Yun Duyao patted his hand reassuringly, and said, "I've finished asking for advice, you should hurry up and talk about what's going on with this case."

"Judging from the case record, this is indeed not a simple fire." Pei Zhao stopped thinking for a while, then looked at Su Yuai and explained, "The reason why the case was closed without a thorough investigation back then is because of the picture of Baishou. The empress dowager is full of anger when she is destroyed; the second is that the birthday of the empress dowager is approaching, and all countries have sent envoys to celebrate. At this time, it is not appropriate to go to war; the third is that the Su family wrote a letter, admitting that they have sinned deeply, and are unwilling to continue to investigate."

Yun Duyao sneered and said, "But this is a case involving nearly fifty lives, and the Su family doesn't want to delve into it, so let's not delve into it?"

Pei Zhao sighed lightly, and reminded her in a low voice, "If you think about how you got here today, you will understand."

Yun Duyao: ...

The evil feudal imperial system!

"Okay," Ning Feiyan smoothed things over, "It's been seven or eight years, no matter how many people are investigated, it can't be repeated. The most urgent thing is to think about how to bring the murderer to justice."

Su Yuai nodded in agreement.

Pei Zhao looked down at the confession provided by Su Yuai, and said slowly: "How to investigate, Miss Chen said almost everything. Later, I will send a few people to Guangling County, and with Master Cui, according to what Miss Chen said, Re-examine the case."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at Yao Changqing, "Master Cui, there should be no problem."

Yao Changqing said, "I'll write a letter to uncle later."

"Okay." Pei Zhao looked at Chen Chaoyan again, "I don't know if Miss Chen has anything to add?"

"I will write down my investigation process in a while, and I will ask Mr. Yao to help me bring it to Master Cui. It would be better if I can help Master Cui. If I can't help, it can be regarded as my modest effort." Chen Chaoyan said.

Pei Zhaodao: "Give me a copy too."

Chen Chaoyan should be fine.

Yao Changqing should also be fine.

With regard to the existing case file, several people analyzed it for a while, discussed and formulated various points for re-examination, and then dispersed.

"Okay, I know you can't wait to see the prince, so we won't bother you." After letting Yao Changqing, Jiang You, and Pei Zhao leave first, Yun Duyao said to Chen Chaoyan, "However, we only give you an hour. After an hour, remember to come to the back garden to find us. You and the prince have a lifetime of gossiping, but after this time, if we want to get together again, we don't know when. The matter of emphasizing sex over friends , we are not interested in doing it!"

Chen Chaoyan hugged her arm: "Okay, I get it."

"It's good to know!" Yun Duyao reached out and tapped her forehead, then followed Su Yuai and Ning Feiyan away.

After watching them walk away, Chen Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and supported Yue Jian's hand, and went to Xie Xuan's study.

Xie Xuanben was reading a book.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was her, immediately got up and turned his back to her.

Chen Chaoyan stopped in her tracks, and looked at Yue Jian questioningly.

Yue Jian bit her lip, exerted a little force, and led her to stand in front of Xie Xuan.

After Chen Chaoyan glanced at her suspiciously, she tilted her head to look at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan turned around again, turned his back to her, and said in a hoarse voice: "The princess has just woken up, and she has been working on Miss Su Si's mother's old case for half a day. See you in the moon, why don't you hurry up and help the princess go back to rest."

Yue Jian aggrieved said yes, and came forward to help Chen Chaoyan.

Chen Chaoyan frowned slightly, and reached out to shake Xie Xuan's hand.

Xie Xuan seemed to have noticed something earlier and took a step forward, avoiding him.

Chen Chaoyan stepped forward, and after being dodged by him again, she stopped: "Your lord, has something bothered you?"

Xie Xuan said lightly: "No."

Chen Chaoyan said: "Is that simply because you don't want to see me?"

Xie Xuan was silent for a moment: "No."

"My body is just right, and I can't stand it." Chen Chaoyan said.After finishing speaking, without giving him time to react, he immediately took a step forward and grabbed his wrist, "Tell me, since it's not something to do, and it's not just that you don't want to see me, why is that?"

Xie Xuan froze, and subconsciously wanted to break free from her hand, but thinking of what she said just now, he didn't dare to use any force.After such a stalemate for a while, he said helplessly: "Ugly. I'm afraid the princess will find it disgusting."

ugly?

What's ugly?

Chen Chaoyan looked at him subconsciously, seeing his thin back, her heart suddenly trembled.

he……

Chen Chaoyan took a quick step forward and gently hugged his waist.

Feeling his stiff body, Chen Chaoyan put her face on his back, and said softly: "How can the prince be ugly? The prince just stayed up like this day and night to save me. It's too late for me to feel distressed, why? Dare to despise the prince?"

"Distressed?" Xie Xuan murmured.

"Yes, I feel distressed." Chen Chaoyan coaxed softly, "The prince I know is so good-looking, so willful, and so radiant. But for me, he made himself into what he is now. The sincerity of the prince is more sincere than any gold, silver and jewelry. The rich, the rich and the rich all have to touch people's hearts, and it's too late for me to cherish them, so how dare I despise them?"

Seeing that although he was silent, his body stretched out.

Chen Chaoyan said slightly relieved: "When the lord and I first met, we were dark, thin and ugly, and the lord never disliked me. Instead, he carefully asked Banxia and Ziling to cook delicious food for me in different ways. Yes, raise me up to be so white and tender."

"Originally, I was worried about how to repay the prince."

"It's just right now, how about I raise the prince instead?"

"Just take a gamble, how long will it take me to bring the prince back to his original state."

As she said that, she looked at Yuejian intentionally and said, "I'll bet for a month! Where's Yuejian you?"

Yue Jian glanced at Empress Xie Xuan quickly, and said, "I'll bet for three months."

Ling You suddenly poked his head in from the door and said, "I'll bet for two months, and the bet is ten pennies."

"Then I'll be the same as the princess, and I'll bet for a month, and the bet is ten pennies." Ruolan said softly behind him.

Chonglou, Lingquan, Nanling, Shishu and others soon joined in.

Hearing the chirping sound, Xie Xuan slowly held Chen Chaoyan's hand, and said, "Thirty strokes, one month."

Chen Chaoyan held his hand instead, and said with a smile: "In order not to lose the prince's thirty pennies, we have to work hard!"

Xie Xuan nodded.

Chen Chaoyan glanced at Yue Jian, who immediately went out to the kitchen.

After lunch quietly, while drinking tea, Chen Chaoyan looked at the bookshelves full of various aspirations, and said with warmth in his heart: "The prince has worked hard for the past six months."

Xie Xuan followed her gaze and glanced at those books, "Unfortunately, there is nothing to gain."

"Why didn't I gain something?" Chen Chaoyan smiled slightly, "I'm quite interested in these strange thoughts, but I just don't understand them a little bit. If the prince is willing, you might as well tell me two articles every day, and let me gain a lot of insight how?"

After Xie Xuanding stared at her for a moment, he lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, "My concubine is willing to listen, of course I can."

"Of course I would like to listen." Chen Chaoyan tilted his head, "I just don't know if these books are enough for the prince to talk about for a lifetime?"
