He stared fixedly at Chen Chaoyan, and after a long, long time, he said: "Yesterday, Ms. Chen said that ordinary murders are for three purposes: one is revenge; the other is love; the third is money. Ms. Chen actually said little Once you have one, there is another right."

"The motive of the murderer who killed Zhou Zhongcai is not yet certain. However, Ms. Chen can regard it as wealth and power."

"Now, Miss Chen dare to say that she doesn't regret it?"

For the right?

How could she forget this!

In the ancient times when imperial power was supreme, accidents happened to people in the government office were mostly related to power!

She had always wanted to draw a clear line with him before, but she didn't want to get involved in power disputes.Now...it's too late to regret now.Chen Chaoyan didn't think for a moment, then she clasped her fists and said, "For the rest of my life, I'll leave it to the lord."

"The rest of my life?" Xie Xuan looked at her again, and after looking at her for a long time, he lowered his eyes and smiled a few times.After laughing, he said, "Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi committed suicide?"

Is this a promise, or a no promise?Chen Chaoyan looked at him probingly.Xie Xuan put away the jade bone fan with a 'shua' sound, tapped her on the head twice, and said, "I'm asking you something, answer it carefully."

Chen Chaoyan covered her head, looked at Yue Jian, then at Bai Shao, and then at Ruo Lan, her cheeks turned red.Is she being molested?

Although her body is only 14 years old, her soul is already [-] to [-] years old. So, was she molested by a seventeen or eighteen year old boy?

After taking two deep breaths and silently taking the fingerprints of everyone in the Sheriff's Mansion, Chen Chaoyan pretended to be calm and said, "Shi Jiaoer committed suicide without a doubt, but Shi Zhi was pushed into the latrine."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at the light screen.

On the light screen, the interior of the toilet in Jishanfang and Shi Zhi's corpse in the mortuary are lined up side by side.

Chen Chaoyan suppressed his nausea, and reduced the interior scene of the latrine to a certain place, which was the location where Shi Zhi 'stumbled' into the latrine.On the inside of the two tree trunks at that location, there is a very shallow bloodstain on each side, which is easy to ignore if you don't look carefully.Comparing the bloodstains to the scars on Shi Zhi's hands, it can be proved that the moment he fell into the toilet, he grabbed the tree trunk out of survival instinct.

Chen Chaoyan took a piece of paper, roughly drew the picture, pushed it to Xie Xuan, and said again: "Well, he was indeed pushed down."

Xie Xuan raised his eyes to look at her.Chen Chaoyan pretended not to notice, "Shi Zhi has large scratches from his shoulder blade to the outside of his arm and elbow. There are also scratches from the inside of his forearm to his palm."

"Comparing the traces on these two tree trunks, if Shi Zhi stumbled and fell, then whether he was standing or squatting, he should have jumped forward. And when he jumped forward, he should have been injured in this position and the inside of the arm."

After comparing the position of his shoulders, Chen Chaoyan continued: "The injury was on the back side, so he could only fall backwards. If he stumbled and couldn't fall backwards, the only possibility is that he was taken from Pushed or kicked head-on to fall."

Xie Xuan said, "Is it possible to slip and fall?"

"No." Chen Chaoyan said with certainty after looking at the light screen, "First of all, it hasn't rained in the past few days when we came to Luyang County. Secondly, these tree trunks have never been peeled. Anti-slip effect. Finally, if lard and other slippery substances are artificially smeared on it, it is impossible not to leave marks on the rough skin of the trunk.”

Yuejian exclaimed: "Ms. Chen went inside and looked at it for less than ten breaths, did she look so carefully?"

She thought she was only afraid and didn't see anything.

Of course she didn't see anything, she just thought of herself as a 'scanning machine' into the toilet.After Chen Chaoyan looked at the light screen silently, her eyes fell on Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan took the topographic map of Luyang County, and after searching around for a while, he quickly pointed out Jishanfang with his fingertips, then moved to the blank space on the side, and said: "This is an open area, and the toilet is here. It can be seen that there are shops and residents around here. In other words, this toilet is not only convenient for the people in the gambling house, but anyone around can come here as long as they want to."

Chen Chaoyan nodded.

"Combining these conditions, it will be more difficult to find out who killed Shi Zhi than to find out who killed Zhou Zhongcai." Xie Xuan tapped his fingertips twice, then changed the subject, "But it is certain Yes, the murderer who killed Shi Zhi was the same as the murderer who killed Zhou Zhongcai, both for the purpose of 'preventing future troubles'. Therefore, even if the murderers in these two cases are not the same person, they will be the same group."

Chen Chaoyan nodded again.

Xie Xuan raised his eyes to look at her, and under Chen Chaoyan's raised eyebrows, he frowned, "In Miss Chen's opinion, should the murderer of Shi Zhi be investigated?"

"Why didn't you investigate?" Chen Chaoyan asked back.

"To check him is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack." Xie Xuan said.

"Even if you're looking for a needle in a haystack, you still have to investigate." Chen Chaoyan said firmly, "Not only do you need to investigate, but you also need to investigate carefully!"

"The murderer chose to attack Shi Zhi here because of two reasons. One is that he is familiar with this place; the other is that he has grasped the mentality that we have no way to investigate or even if we investigate, we will have no way to start."

Bringing the drawing paper over, Chen Chaoyan dipped the pen into the ink, and when he was about to write, he looked up at him, then handed over the pen, "Let me tell, you write."

After looking at her twice, Xie Xuan took the pen.

"The first step is, when Zha Shizhi arrived at Jishanfang yesterday, who were there in Jishanfang? First find out the people who know it, and then start with these people who know it, and ask them to tell the people around them when they were in the gambling workshop. who are there?"

Seeing his writing with his own eyes, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help asking, "How long has it been since my lord practiced calligraphy?"

Xie Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth indiscriminately, "Three or four years."

Chen Chaoyan blurted out: "Impossible!"

Xie Xuan raised his eyes, with a half-smile: "Why is it impossible?"

Because she has practiced good handwriting for more than [-] years, she can't accept that others can surpass her in only three or four years!After a lot of patience, Chen Chaoyan swallowed the retort, and then continued: "The second step is to determine the specific time when Shi Zhi will go to the toilet, and then check the gambling shop, during the time when he goes to the toilet. , Who is not in the gambling house. Those who do not have a gambling house, where they went, and who can testify, list them one by one."

"The third step is to check the surrounding shops and residences according to the previous two steps."

"The fourth step is to post a portrait of Li Er. I believe that there must be a brave man under the reward."

"The fifth step is to find out who Shizhi often contacts or gambles with in Jishanfang."

Went to Jishanfang in the morning, and told him the news she heard from Mrs. Zhao and her two stewards. Chen Chaoyan then mentioned the conversation with Wang Da by the way, "Song Yanzhong and the Song family in Qingxi County And since the relationship between Meng Baishan and Meng Baishan has been sorted out, there is no need to focus on the investigation as before. However, he is Zhou Zhongcai's superior, and the private relationship with Zhou Zhongcai still needs to be investigated."

"Your Excellency Wang, you should check it carefully." Yue Jian interjected.

Chen Chaoyan looked at her, "Why?"

Yue Jian couldn't explain clearly, she just said: "I don't think he is a good person."

Chen Chaoyan laughed, "As long as the person who leaves fingerprints on the lease, no matter what his identity is, he will be checked carefully."

Yue Jian nodded and emphasized again: "That Ma Huai also has problems."

Ma Huai...Chen Chaoyan looked at the two packs of wound medicine on the table, and said in a low voice, "If there is any problem, you will know after checking."

Xie Xuanshun looked at the two packs of wound medicine with her eyes, and then asked Yuejian what was going on with her eyes.

Yue Jian said: "That's the wound medicine Mr. Wang prescribed for Miss Chen from Maji Pharmacy."

"Lord Wang? Judiciary joins the army Wang Da?" Xie Xuan raised an eyebrow and sneered with disdain, "He is not small, he dares to snatch my king's people!"

Chen Chaoyan looked at him and was addicted to flirting?

Xie Xuan picked up the jade bone landscape fan and knocked on her again, "You have made it clear to me that you came to Luyang County with me. Before you got rid of me, you were all of me!"

She is nobody, she is herself.But Chen Chaoyan was too lazy to argue with him about such meaningless questions, so she turned her eyes away, landed on the paper he wrote, and continued the previous topic: "Step [-]... that's all I can think of for the time being, do you have anything to add?" ?”

Xie Xuan took out a new piece of paper and wrote down the eight names with fingerprints left on the deed, then circled Wang Da, Song Yanzhong, Ma Huai and Shen Jimin, and said, "According to the person who gave you the wound medicine, Mr. Wang It is said that they were all in Yunliang Pavilion the night Zhou Zhongcai was killed?"

Chen Chaoyan couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "You can find out what happened to them in Yunliang Pavilion, so there should be no need to lie about it."

"That is to say," Xie Xuan looked at her, "the four of them can rule out the suspicion?"

"Of course not!" Chen Chaoyan endured it, and after deciding not to be familiar with him, said, "Although they are in Yunliang Pavilion, no one knows if they left halfway!"

After a pause, he didn't hold back completely and said: "If I can really rule out their suspicion, I will tell you as soon as I come back!"

"I'm not short-tempered." After Xie Xuan laughed twice, he threw the paper aside, and then picked up a pen and wrote on the previous paper: Recheck the Silver Hook Cabinet and Jishanfang!

Chen Chaoyan poured half a cup of tea, suppressed his impetuous emotions, and looked at the words he wrote.After a few glances and careful thought, he understood his intentions.

If Shi Jiaoer was 'forced' to come to Luyang County, then Shi Zhi must be too.Since they were forced, their choice of Silver Hook Cabinet Workshop and Jishan Workshop might be the arrangement of their persecutors.

That being the case, it is imperative to check Yingou Cabinet and Jishanfang.

After Yuejian leaned over to take a look, he asked curiously: "Can we find the murderer by doing this? If not..."

Chen Chaoyan glanced at his handwriting, and then at his handwriting, then looked away, looked at the fingerprints of the remaining people in the Sheriff's Mansion next to him, and said calmly: "My purpose has never been to catch the murderer who killed Shi Zhi. .”

It's just an act to paralyze the murderer so that he can try his best to solve Zhou Zhongcai's case.

Given the location where Shi Zhi was killed and the surrounding environment, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find the murderer.Zhou Zhongcai was different. First of all, the suspects had been locked on the eight people whose fingerprints were left on the lease.Secondly, Shi Zhi's death was also because he was one of the 'murderers' who murdered Zhou Zhongcai.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Zhongcai's case is solved, it is tantamount to solving Shi Zhi's case.

Yuejian gave a vague 'oh'.

Under her watchful eyes, Xie Xuan handed the paper to Chonglou: "Give it to Feng Shoudao, and let him immediately re-examine according to what is said on the paper!"

Chong Lou should be, took the paper and left quickly.

after that.

Both Chen Chaoyan and Xie Xuan tacitly stopped talking, but continued to compare fingerprints.

Two people work at a much faster speed.

It took less than an hour and a half to compare the remaining [-] or so fingerprints in Yinhook Cabinet.In addition, the addresses of the people whose fingerprints corresponded to them were also marked on the topographic map of Luyang County.

Not surprisingly, everyone in the Silver Hook Cabinet Workshop failed to match those few lonely fingerprints.

Although he had been psychologically prepared, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help but sighed before turning his attention to the topographic map of Luyang County.
