Chapter 499: Clues (Second Update)
The magistrate, the county, and the lord are all bloodshot, but he doesn't dare to be undedicated, at least in front of Lin Yanchao and other Hanlin officials. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Yanchao said: "I'll get straight to the point, I went through all the files of this case and found a few suspicious points. ”
The magistrate said: "Please say the champion." ”
Lin Yanchao said: "Of the missing people in one of the counties, seven out of ten are businessmen, and the rest are also scholars. The merchant Jia Duojin, a scholar who can travel, also carries surplus wealth. It can be seen from this that most of this case was committed for the sake of wealth and murder. ”
The magistrate and the others nodded together, but smiled secretly in their hearts, this still requires you to say that those old catchers in our county government have already seen this. A case cannot be decided on the basis of one thing alone.
However, everyone on the face still praised in surprise: "The champion is really decisive!" It's really refreshing! ”
Where did Lin Yanchao know that he had already seen through their flattery, and just smiled and said: "This is not difficult, I must have guessed a long time ago, although I didn't read the case file to solve the case, I thought that if it was a case of murder for money, most of it was investigated along the foot of the car and boat shop, right?" ”
Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the master.
The master said truthfully at the moment: "Zhuangyuan Gong is really like a god, it is like this, the coachman and porter collude with the gangsters to smuggle news, as for the boatman, he is also a family of his own, carrying passengers on weekdays, and also making a living on the water, as for the store, it is even more suspicious. ”
Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Yes, this is not a robbery by bandits, it is definitely a thief who is guarding the plant, specializing in plundering and killing transit merchants, and this car and ship shop is the easiest to do this." ”
The county said: "Yes, we are also following this, but there is no clue at all, and there are not many people in this state and county who make such a fourth-class livelihood." ”
Lin Yanchao pulled out a file from his hand and said, "Can you take a look at this case?" ”
Everyone glanced at each other, and the magistrate opened it at the moment. Master said: "This is a case two years ago, Huzhou businessmen wanted to transport goods to Fuzhou, because of the rain on the road, sick, so they found an inn to rest, for fear of delaying the business let the accompanying guys take the first step by land, they only rested in the inn with an old housekeeper, to June 20, the merchant recovered, the master and servant left the inn on this news. ”
The county said: "At that time, the official interrogated the inn shopkeeper, the merchants in the store, and the ferry, and there was no news about the master and servant of the carriage and horse shop, do you think it is strange?" ”
Lin Yanchao said: "In other words, the master and servant disappeared out of thin air, right?" ”
The county Cheng sighed when he heard Lin Yanchao's words: "As the champion said, although I can't believe it, it is true. ”
Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Yes, this Huzhou merchant is a silk merchant, and Huzhou silk is used to being sold in April and May. The lake merchant was anxious to sell the silk, so he hurried all the way from Huzhou to Fuzhou. But the merchant did not expect to be in a hurry, and suffered from heavy rain, fell ill on the road, he himself could not go on the road, worried that his peers would take the first step, and the silk was too cheap, so he ordered his men to rush to Fuzhou first. ”
The county Cheng looked at the file, but when he saw that Lin Yanchao didn't look at it, he almost memorized the case backwards, and couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of his heart.
The magistrate hurriedly asked: "That champion duke, what strange things can be seen from this?" ”
Lin Yanchao smiled and took it from another dossier and said, "This is a case from May last year. ”
Everyone was puzzled by this, and the county asked: "These two cases are separated by nearly a year, why does the champion prince compare these two cases, is there any way to do the same?" ”
"Yes, this is the case of the disappearance of Zhejiang Shizi, this person was going to Zhexi, but because the Xiaolang Bridge was broken by a flash flood in June last year, he had to take a detour."
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's here." ”
Several people compared the dossier, but they didn't notice it at all.
Everyone couldn't help but feel that the gap between the two sides was huge, and the magistrate presented the file and said: "Please also ask for the guidance of the champion." ”
Lin Yanchao said: "Xiaolang Bridge is an official road, but it was broken by a flash flood in June last year, and it happened to be stopped in front of and behind the inn by heavy rain on the merchant road. ”
The magistrate patted his leg and said: "I understand, Zhuangyuan Gong Qizhi!" Could it be that the champion saw from this that the merchant's master and servant were killed after the flash flood, no wonder there was no body. ”
Hearing what Zhixian said, the two masters, the county Cheng, and the master Bo hid their faces together, expressing their worries about the IQ of this Zhixian County.
The master coughed, and covered up for the county: "The champion is really worthy of being meticulous, and he found the relationship from the words of the two volumes. Zhuangyuan Gong wanted to say that this businessman was blocked in the middle of the road because the Xiaolang Bridge was broken, so what happened to him when he took a shortcut? In fact, this Xiaolang Bridge, east of the inn where the merchant stayed, when the merchant arrived at the inn, the Xiaolang Bridge had already been broken. ”
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Actually, this businessman should be very happy when he learned that the Xiaolang Bridge was broken. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" The master pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Could it be that the champion said that the Xiaolang Bridge was broken, and it was necessary to make a detour from Zhejiang to Min County for a few days, so that their silk peers could not catch up with him, so his silk was unique in Fuzhou, so he was happy." ”
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "That's right, if you were this businessman, what would you plan to do at the moment?" ”
Everyone said in unison: "I must hurry up to Fuzhou and tell the guy that the silk can't be sold cheaply." ”
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "It's slower to take the land route like this, then the only thing this businessman can do is to take the sea route as fast as possible!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked at the same time.
The magistrate patted his leg and said: "Why didn't I expect that I just went up to check from the foot of the car and boat shop on weekdays, but I didn't look for it from the seafarers." ”
The county immediately asked, "How many places are open to the sea in this county?" ”
"There are two places, which can lead to the South China Sea through 20 miles of Shuijin, and from then on you can enter the provincial capital or enter Guangdong." The master replied.
The magistrate said: "Immediately send Wu Ben and the officials to bring all the Mizutsu boat households!" ”
The master said: "Dong Weng can't be in a hurry, in case it is not good to startle the snake, so you need to plan carefully from now on." ”
So several people gathered together to discuss, and Lin Yanchao did not interfere in specific actions. It's good to point out this matter yourself, if this strange case is solved, they will also be credited to the county.
After half a ring, the magistrate of the county transferred all the officials in the county, and even seconded a sailor army to arrest them separately.
After arranging, the magistrate also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Lin Yanchao with a long sigh: "Thank you for your guidance, if this case is solved, more than 100 unjust souls will be enough to rest in peace, and their families can also be comforted." ”
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "If this is the case, I also hope that your county can succeed." (To be continued.) )
