Chen Chaoyan saw that the name of the drugstore was: Maji Pharmacy.

horse……

After Chen Chaoyan's heart skipped a beat, he took another look at the pharmacy.

Russian hectares.

Wang Da was carrying two packs of medicines, and hurried to catch up, and handed the medicine packs to Chen Chaoyan along the car window.

Under Chen Chaoyan's questioning gaze, he said: "It's wound medicine. I heard that Miss Chen's knee was injured, and I happened to pass by Ma Huai's pharmacy, so I went to ask his uncle to grab two."

Chen Chaoyan took the medicine bag, and after secretly preventing Yue Jian from speaking, Zhuangruo asked unintentionally: "This medicine shop is run by Ma Huai's family."

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count." Wang Da explained, "This pharmacy was opened by his grandfather, his father was in the second line, there was an uncle at the top, and a uncle at the bottom, so this pharmacy is owned by the Ma family. Yes. His uncle usually sits in the pharmacy to see a doctor and prescribe prescriptions, while his father is responsible for purchasing medicinal materials, and his younger uncle is the easiest, and he is responsible for managing the accounts."

After Chen Chaoyan nodded, she pretended to be curious and said, "This pharmacy is not small, so it should make a lot of money. Why didn't Ma Huai work in the pharmacy, but entered the yamen instead?"

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, no matter how good their business is, they will never be respected by their official status." Wang Da seemed not expecting that she didn't even understand this. After giving her a hint of surprise, he explained, "Although judicial history They are not popular, but they are always officials. With this relationship, the descendants of the Ma family will be able to study and take part in scientific examinations. If there are one or two more up-to-date ones, the Ma family will be able to flourish."

It seemed that she had said the wrong thing. After receiving the suspicion in Wang Da's eyes, Chen Chaoyan wisely changed the subject, "I don't know what kindness Mrs. Zhao has done to the Sheriff's Mansion, but Lord Wang has tolerated her again and again?"

"A few years ago, after half a month of heavy rain, several villages, including Beihe Village, suffered landslides one after another, causing more than half of the houses in each village to be destroyed. They did the resettlement, but the sheriff's mansion didn't have a lot of money, so they couldn't resettle so many people at the same time. After thinking about it, the sheriff at the time, Mr. Qian, called together the rich gentry in the county and wanted them to share the money. "Wang Da said slowly, "At that time, Mr. Qian was going to be elected in less than half a year. The gentry in the county and town promised well, but they kept making excuses and delaying in action. In the end, it was Mrs. Zhao who couldn't see it, and donated [-] yuan to the Sheriff's Mansion in order to preserve the reputation of the Sheriff's Mansion."

"It was also after that that the latrine began to expand."

That's really... people don't know what to say.Chen Chaoyan couldn't make an objective evaluation, so he could only raise the two packs of medicine in his hand, and ended the topic by saying, "My lord, I'm sorry."

"Miss Chen, you don't need to be polite. I did this out of selfishness." Wang Da said bluntly, "Miss Chen's legs will get better sooner, and it will be easier to investigate the case."

"My lord Wang's words are not pleasant," Ling You said loudly, "Miss Chen solves the case as soon as she encounters it. When you say that, are you cursing that Miss Chen can't solve Zhou Zhongcai's case in a short time?"

"A slip of the tongue, it's all a slip of the tongue." Wang Da quickly apologized.

"I don't think it's a slip of the tongue, it's..."

In the joking dispute between the two, the carriage returned to the sheriff's mansion.

At the gate of the house.

After bowing to each other to say goodbye, when the carriage was about to start to enter the gate, Wang Da stopped him suddenly and asked, "I wonder what Miss Chen thinks about the deaths of Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi?"

Chen Chaoyan didn't answer and asked instead: "What's your opinion, Mr. Wang?"

"Shi Jiao'er should have committed suicide without a doubt," Wang Da said while thinking, "But Shi Zhi... I'm a little hard to decide, so I ask Miss Chen for advice."

Chen Chaoyan hadn't watched the replay of the latrine yet, so she said not so sure: "Judging from the injuries on Shi Zhi's body, he should have committed homicide, but whether it was true or not, I have to think again."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Wang Da raised his hand and said, "Then please ask Miss Chen to let someone know after she confirms."

Chen Chaoyan nodded in agreement.

It was almost noon.

After bidding farewell to Wang Da, Yuejian pushed Chen Chaoyan back to the Zhaixing Building, and after waiting for her to wash away the bad luck of going to the latrine, and changing her dressing and clothes, she called the maid to prepare lunch.

Chen Chaoyan declined: "No need."

Yue Jian spoke quickly and wanted to joke a few more words, but just as the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back after meeting Chen Chaoyan's half-smiling eyes.

"I just want the maid to send some desserts and fruits." Yue Jian quibbled.

Chen Chaoyan glanced at the five or six plates of desserts and fruits that were just served on the table, nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

Yue Jian blushed, "I'm going to make tea."

Chen Chaoyan still nodded: "Go."

Yuejian went hesitantly.

Chen Chaoyan took the body form, fingerprints and the topographic map of Luyang County together, and sat down in front of the desk, ready to compare the fingerprints.

The fingerprints of everyone in Yinhook Cabinet Workshop and the Sheriff's Mansion are still the same as those of Feng Shoudao and Wang Da yesterday, one for each person.The difference is that today's fingerprint paper also writes the population and property of the person whose fingerprint corresponds to it, which can be said to be detailed.Although it was not written by Xie Xuan, judging from the on-site investigation on the corpse forms of Shi Shi and Shi Zhi, it must be his order.

This person is worthy of the honor and glory of the Great Wei Emperor.

Unconsciously, Chen Chaoyan picked up Shi Jiaoer's and Shi Zhi's mortuary forms, and looked at the scene traces written by him to examine.In fact, it mainly depends on what he wrote.Looking at those vigorous and powerful words, the lime circles in Shi Jiaoer's bedroom unconsciously appeared in her mind...

this person……

this person……

Forcibly putting down the corpse table, Chen Chaoyan closed his eyes, suppressed his complicated thoughts, quickly took out the topographic map of Luyang County, and swept it into the light screen.

Afterwards, using the personal information on the fingerprint paper and the smart reading function of the light screen, she quickly marked the residence of the person corresponding to the fingerprint on the topographic map.

It's easy to say, but comparing thousands of fingerprints is still a boring and lengthy task.And even though Xie Xuan was not there, Chen Chaoyan was still the same as yesterday, holding up one piece of fingerprint paper after another, pretending to be in front of the sun, adhering to the principle of acting and doing a complete set.

After she finished her pretense, she had to compare the personal information marked on the topographic map of Luyang County with the light screen, and use the red note to write it on the topographic map of Luyang County drawn by Xie Xuan.

At the beginning of the application period.

When Xie Xuan walked into the Zhaixing Tower under the strong sunlight, what he saw was that she was holding a fingerprint paper, facing the window, and her eyes were focused as the sunlight changed.

Xie Xuan paused, looked at her quietly, and her poem "Song Xue" emerged in her mind at the same time: one piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces, five pieces, six pieces...

After comparing the fingerprints in his hand, Chen Chaoyan met Xie Xuan's gaze when he looked back, raised his brows, and said to Yue Jian who was rubbing ink next to him, "Why are you lords standing still under the sun, sleepy?"

Yue Jian glanced at Xie Xuan who came into the room, and corrected in a low voice: "Our young master sees that you are too focused and can't bear to disturb."

Xie Xuan, who listened to every word of the conversation between the two, changed the topic calmly: "Comparison is over?"

"How can it be so fast," Chen Chaoyan said while moving his back and shoulders, "Comparing fingerprints and topographic maps, I've been so busy that I've only compared a hundred or so."

After looking at her twice, Xie Xuan quietly picked up the topographic map of Luyang County, looked at the densely packed red marks on it, and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to Zhou's house again last night, when do you plan to go there?"

"I won't go today, let's finish comparing these first." After moving her back and shoulders, Chen Chaoyan tidied up the compared fingerprints and put them aside.He brought over the fingerprints that had not yet been compared, took out the last one, and answered him while comparing them.

Xie Xuan looked at the stack of compared fingerprints: "Is there no match?"

Chen Chaoyan nodded.

"Where's Shi Zhi's fingerprint, you can't get it?" Xie Xuan looked back at her.

Shi Zhi soaked in the latrine for too long, and the skin on his hands was so swollen that it almost fell off when he touched it.He tried many methods, but failed to extract his fingerprints.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Chen Chaoyan glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said intentionally, "If the Shi brothers and sisters are still alive, the comparison of fingerprints is meaningful. They are dead, and they are still dead without leaving any traces. The comparison is nothing more than the basic work of elimination. And compared to this, what is more important now is your relationship with them, or whether you came to Luyang County because of them."

After a short pause, Chen Chaoyan continued: "If the answer is yes, then I suggest that you immediately re-examine the shopkeeper Fang or the accountant surnamed Jiang, or even the owner of Yinhook Cabinet Workshop. Usually, besides shopkeeper Fang, they also Who has been in constant contact with them, or has had contact with them."

"People who are in constant contact with and have been in contact with, immediately investigate their background."

"You are from the capital like the Shi brothers and sisters... Forget it, after investigation, you know better than me what to do."

Xie Xuan hooked the corner of his mouth, "Ms. Chen is caring about me?"

of course not.

She just didn't want to be involved with him.

But... don't reject the kindness that came to your door, Chen Chao nodded without changing his expression: "Yes."

Ah.

Xie Xuan couldn't help laughing out loud, "Miss Chen's ability to open her mouth is really eye-opening!"

"My lord changed the subject forcibly. It seems that I was right." Chen Chaoyan put down the fingerprints in his hand, took the topographic map of Luyang County from him, picked up a pen to mark the location on the fingerprints, and picked up the map again. A fingerprint, together with the deed, faced the sun, and compared it pretendingly, and said, "The prince did not come to Luyang County because of the emperor's punishment, but for the Shi brothers and sisters."

Xie Xuan said noncommittally: "Miss Chen is scared?"

Chen Chaoyan pointed at Gu Congrong and said, "My lord should ask me if I regret it."

Xie Xuan said kindly: "Does Miss Chen regret coming to Luyang County with me?"
