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

"This..." Feng Shoudao took a quick look at Xie Xuan, and then answered after consideration, "There are defects, but the number varies."

After Chen Chaoyan sighed lightly, he asked, "How many are missing?"

Feng Shoudao cheered up, first explained that the imperial court allowed each Cao to have 51 sheets of defects each year, and then replied: "Sicang Cao lacked 39 sheets, Sihu Cao lacked 120 sheets, and Judiciary Cao lacked [-] sheets. Zhang. Sihu Cao’s defect is within the allowable range of the imperial court, so don’t worry about it. Although there is an extra card for Si Cang, it can be deducted from everyone’s salary at the end of the year.”

In fact, even the more than 100 bills that Judiciary Cao overspends can also be deducted from the salary at the end of the year. This is a secret matter of the major yamen.But if this is the case, naturally you can't say it in front of Xie Xuan.

Chen Chaoyan didn't know about this, and she only cared about one thing: "Is there a record of what they are used for?"

After Feng Shoudao kept talking, he immediately beckoned Zhao Wuwei who was waiting outside the door to come in, and ordered him to bring over the records found two days ago.

Chen Chaoyan was not in a hurry, drinking tea slowly, waiting for Zhao Wuwei.

a little.

Zhao Wuwei came back with the record, and at Feng Shoudao's gesture, directly gave it to Chen Chaoyan.When Chen Chaoyan looked through it, Feng Shoudao explained: "These records are transcribed by each Cao. Because the hemp paper has a quota, each Cao will also record who owns the more-used paper. When it is liquidated at the end of the year, who uses it If there is more, it will be deducted from whose salary."

Chen Chaoyan raised her eyes slightly, "Master Feng, you mean that there is no way to tell whether this record is true or not?"

Although Feng Shoudao hesitated, he still nodded, "It's almost like this."

There was no way he could.

He has been in officialdom for many years, and this is the first time he has encountered checking the cost of hemp paper.

Chen Chaoyan didn't quite understand: "Since we can't tell the truth from the fake, how did Mr. Feng tell that Ma Huai's three secret letters were from Judicial Cao?"

Feng Shoudao sighed, "I didn't tell the difference, it was Wang Da who did it. Wang Da said that each of them would make a small mark in the middle of the back of the paper when they received the paper from the accountant to prevent disputes. Judicial The mark made by Cao was a circle. When checking the papers of those secret letters a few days ago, Wang Da only looked at the secret letters, found out the circle, and recognized that the paper belonged to Judicial Cao. "

Chen Chaoyan had an idea, "My lord, do you still remember how Wang Da checked the secret letter at that time?"

Xie Xuan understood her motive almost instantly, and after looking at the secret letter on the desk, he also looked at Feng Shoudao.

Feng Shoudao was also one of the suspects who murdered Zhou Zhongcai earlier, so he didn't know that Chen Chaoyan would use fingerprints to solve the case.But seeing that everyone was looking at him, he didn't dare to perfunctorily recall it carefully for a while, and replied not so sure: "He should be holding it in his hand... no, no, it seems that he asked Brother Lingyou to turn it over for him. He watched."

Chen Chaoyan and Xie Xuan looked at each other, and then asked again: "How did Lingyou show him?"

This Feng Shoudao didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "Brother Lingyou wrapped a corner of those secret letters in a handkerchief and showed him to read."

After a pause, he continued: "Brother Lingyou is always careful. Whenever he reads the secret letter, he always wraps it in a handkerchief."

Yue Jian couldn't help but said: "Stupid!"

Although Chen Chaoyan didn't say anything, her expression showed it without any concealment.However, although Lingyou's approach was inappropriate, it also proved that Wang Da did know that they were using fingerprints to solve the case, and it was not fruitless.

Feng Shoudao didn't know he was talking about Lingyou, so he raised his teacup with a slightly embarrassed expression to cover it up.Chen Chaoyan wanted to explain, but thinking about the fingerprints, the less people who know about it, the better, so she refrained from saying anything.Silently waiting for him to suppress his emotions and put down the cup, he opened his mouth again: "How did each Cao get the hemp paper from the accountant, and who got it?"

"It should be sent by the cao's enlisted troops to pick it up in March." Feng Shoudao was not particularly clear about such trivial matters, and he only knew when Lingyou returned to Luyang County and asked to check the cost of the hemp paper. After asking the accountant a few words, I was able to answer fluently, "The hemp paper taken is kept in the army's office. If others need it, they can write down the use like a deed, and the army can use it after consideration."

"Issuing it at the discretion of joining the army means: if Ma Huai wants to use ten white linen papers, he has to apply to Wang Da. After the application is approved, Wang Da will count out ten white linen papers to Ma Huai, isn't that right?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

Feng Shoudao nodded.

Chen Chaoyan looked at Xie Xuan, and after the two exchanged glances, Xie Xuan slightly tilted his head and told Chong Lou, "Go to the North Prison and ask Ma Huai, after Zhou Zhongcai was killed, can he ask Ma Huai for white hemp paper."

Zhonglou responded and left.

Ma Shoudao didn't understand whether Ma Huai asked Wang Da for papers, and what it had to do with the case.But seeing the expressions of Xie Xuan and Chen Chaoyan, he wisely didn't ask too much.

And Chen Chaoyan also took advantage of the opportunity to ask about other things: "How long will it take to finish investigating the past cases?"

This matter was also the purpose of Feng Shoudao's coming to find her today.At the moment, I didn't care about the embarrassment anymore, "I heard from Brother Lingyou that Miss Chen checked the past cases to see if there were any cases similar to Zhou Zhongcai's?"

Chen Chaoyan nodded and said something good.

Feng Shoudao glanced at Xie Xuan, "Miss Chen suspects that Ma Huai is not the murderer who killed Zhou Zhongcai, Shi Zhi and others?"

Chen Chaoyan nodded again.

Feng Shoudao asked: "Why?"

Chen Chaoyan also told Xie Xuan the reason why Li Er's death was different from Zhou Zhongcai's and Shi Zhi's.After Feng Shoudao listened, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "According to Miss Chen, those three secret letters were forged?"

"Almost." Chen Chaoyan said, "We'll see if we can find similar cases in the past."

"It shouldn't be too late, I'll investigate now!" Feng Shoudao also knew that there were some things that Xie Xuan didn't say, even he shouldn't know about them, and shouldn't ask about them.Seeing that he had an excuse, he quickly got up and left.

After Chen Chaoyan watched him walk away with full of admiration, she looked back and motioned for Yue Jian to take out the three secret letters and the tool for scanning fingerprints.Under Nanling's curious gaze, Chen Chaoyan scanned the fingerprints again and said, "Sure enough, there are no fingerprints of him."

Nanling questioned: "Sweeping these powders like this, can you scan fingerprints?"

"Haven't you seen it?" Yue Jian hummed twice, explaining the theory of fingerprint scanning to him, half showing off or showing off.

After listening to a few words, Chen Chaoyan saw that she spoke clearly and logically, so she turned her eyes to Lingquan, "Have you found anything?"

Lingquan obviously got Xie Xuan's explanation, and when he heard her question, he replied directly: "After Meng Baishan was imprisoned in the North Prison, the iron mine stopped for half a month. Later, when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he started mining again. But it never sent out again.”

Chen Chaoyan nodded.The reason for continuing to mine is most likely to test Xie Xuan.If you don't send it out, it means you don't want to keep any excuses, or you want to test how much Xie Xuan knows.Looking back at Xie Xuan, seeing his understanding appearance, Chen Chaoyan didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject again: "Where is the caravan, what news did you find?"

Xie Xuan glanced at the book.

The servant went to the desk and took a piece of paper and handed it over, "This is what Miss Chen said, and I found out the situation."

Chen Chaoyan took the paper, read it quickly, and couldn't help saying: "Isn't this a good result? Apart from Qiu Jiu's work, these scattered caravans only took on the job of the businessman surnamed He. Qiu Jiu and He surnamed There is also quite close communication between merchants.”

"Qiu Jiu's gang of bandits covers several surrounding counties, and he really hasn't quit his original gang of bandits."

"This is based on the merchant surnamed He as the center, and the officials, merchants, and bandits are in collusion."

The servant reminded in a low voice: "It is the business of Sihu Cao to open the public inspection."

Chen Chaoyan didn't understand, so he asked, "And then?"

Shi Shu once again reminded: "Officials, businessmen, and bandits are in collusion."

Chen Chaoyan still didn't understand, so, "And then?"

The servant looked at her silently, and after confirming that she didn't mean it, he said: "Wang Da joined the army with Judicial Cao, and Song Yanzhong joined the army with Sicang Cao. ..."

Chen Chaoyan understood.After smiling with the corners of her lips hooked, she looked at Xie Xuan and said provocatively: "So the prince means that there are too many things involved, so I don't plan to take care of it?"

Xie Xuan looked at the sharpness and coldness in her eyebrows, and asked deliberately: "If I don't care, what is Miss Chen planning?"

The last person who dared to talk to the young master like this, seemed to be hanged on the city gate with blood, and starved to death?Tsk, Nanling folded his hands, looking like he was watching a good show.

After Chen Chaoyan glanced at him, she raised her eyebrows and said, "My lord, you still remember the bet you made the day before yesterday, can you cash it out as soon as possible?"

Xie Xuan smiled lowly, "It seems that Miss Chen will have another excuse to get rid of me in the future."

"My lord misunderstood, I still need to live in my lord's hands, how can I have the ability to take care of others?" Chen Chaoyan finished calmly, then changed the subject and joked, "I can't kidnap my lord and force my lord to take care of me, right?"

Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Miss Chen can try."

Chen Chaoyan bent her lips and smiled, "Try and die?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Chen Chaoyan took up a pen and wrote it to him.

Seeing the words, Xie Xuan couldn't help but chuckled, "What have you been thinking about in your head all day?"

"Of course I'm thinking about when the prince will cash in on the bet." Chen Chaoyan blurted out.

Xie Xuan snorted, "Instead of thinking about how to get rid of me all day, Ms. Chen should think about how to solve the case."

Nanling looked at Chen Chaoyan, then at Xie Xuan, then sneaked up to Yue Jian's side, lowered his voice, and asked in a low voice: "Does Miss Chen really want to get rid of you, or is she playing hard to get?"

Yuejian glanced at him, "Is it playing hard to get, the young master won't be able to see it?"

"That's true." Nanling squeezed his chin, and said in a loud voice, "It's just...it shouldn't be, those ladies in the capital see the young master like a cat that smells fish, this Miss Chen actually Want to get rid of the young master. Could it be that she doesn't know that our young master is King Jin?"

Yue Jian hehe twice.

Nanling said: "Then tell me, why does she want to get rid of Young Master?"

Yue Jian took it for granted, "Because Ms. Chen doesn't like trouble."

"Trouble..." Nanling clicked his tongue twice, "I never imagined that the young master who is sought after everywhere in the capital will be despised one day. It's a trouble, interesting!"

Xie Xuan glanced at him lightly.

Nanling immediately cleared his throat and stood upright.
