"The Queen Mother asked me to listen to the details of the case at home, and then try to find the murderer and solve this murder case of a relative?"
At the door of his house, Di Jin saw off the clerk who had just come to convey the news, shaking his head and laughing: "Is this the officially designated easy chair detective?"
Compared with ordinary detectives, the easy chair detective does not need to travel around and work hard. He only needs to sit in a comfortable chair, listen to the clues of the murder case, and check the information at the scene, and he can point out the real murderer based solely on reasoning.
This is the type of role that many detectives and reasoners of later generations want to challenge. Because it adds a lot of difficulty out of thin air, it not only limits the detective's freedom, but also easily lacks a sense of immersion in the process. If you want to go beyond ordinary detective work and become a masterpiece, you naturally have challenges. sex.
Di Jin doesn't know how to torture himself. He obviously can come to the scene, but he insists on pretending to solve the case remotely, but now it seems that he is being framed by a big shot's words, so this smile is somewhat of a joy in suffering.
"It seems that you are in a good mood and can laugh. Do you already know who the murderer is?"
A crisp and hearty voice came from behind. Di Jin was overjoyed and turned around: "Sister! You came back in time!"
Di Xiangling stood handsomely behind her. She was away mostly during this period. Occasionally she would go home to eat and drink, and then go out again soon, obviously to build a network of people in the capital.
Now that she can return immediately and reveal that Di Jin is involved in this case, it shows that her intelligence source has begun to bear fruit.
"Queen Mother...hum!"
Facing the most powerful person in the world, Di Xiangling finally did not say to use his mace directly. After all, the palace was still very tightly guarded and could not be easily killed, but there was still a way: "Sixth brother, if you want to go to the Liu Mansion, inspect it." At the scene, I will take you out, as long as Xiaoyi Zhuer and the others keep silent, so that no one outside can find out!"
Di Jin shook his head: "I'm not worried about people around me leaking secrets, but I can't underestimate the Imperial City Division too much. They may have been ordered to keep an eye on... Once I leave home, if there is a flaw somewhere, I will teach others how to do it." Handle, the stigma can no longer be washed away!”
Di Xiangling said in a deep voice: "Then what should we do? Let that old woman play tricks on you? The case that should be the responsibility of the Kaifeng government office will be thrown on your head. Just investigate the case, and you will not be allowed to go out. What’s the point?”
"It's very simple. This is a battle between the Queen Mother and the courtiers. I just happened to be involved in it at the right time."
There is no need to hide with his sister. Di Jin made it clear: "For the courtiers, the Queen Mother's role is to be a transitional guide when the officials are still young and unable to handle political affairs. A perfect situation. , this guide is a pure transition, he cannot have extravagant demands of his own, and cannot let his relatives take advantage of this to dominate, he only needs to fulfill his duty to supervise the country..."
"But the current Queen Mother also came to power through a struggle. She will not compromise and be an emotionless transitional tool. Instead, she will continue to get involved in the imperial power, cultivate cronies, and compete with the officials until they have to hold their noses and tolerate the Queen Mother's arrogance. His behavior...and this time Liu Congguang's death is a good opportunity to attack, how can the Queen Mother let it go so easily?"
Di Xiangling understood and snorted: "So the murder case is not important, the truth is not important, the fight for power is important?"
"This has always been the case. As long as the identity of the person who died is unusual, the complexity of the case will far exceed the case itself..." Di Jin was not angry, but was very interested: "Fortunately, since the murder case was the trigger, it cannot be completely ignored. Importantly, we may seem to be small players involved in this political struggle, but we can also be used in a big way.”
Di Xiangling frowned and said, "But now that you can't leave the house, it will be too difficult to investigate the case, right?"
"It's really difficult. What I'm most afraid of is making mistakes. Not only me, but also Mr. Chen who protects me has to bear the responsibility, and the Queen Mother got caught!" Di Jin said with a smile, "That's why I was like that when my sister showed up just now. Happy, you are my eyes in this case! Next, I need to check these... these..."
"Okay!" Di Xiangling nodded. After listening to the situation that he needed to investigate, he disappeared in a flash. Only his voice came from afar: "Wait for my news!"
After watching this sister leave resolutely, Di Jin strolled back to the study, sat at the table, and fell into deep thought.
If this case affects the future, in fact it will not, even if it greatly offends Liu E.
The reason is simple: Liu E could not control the imperial examination.
If it is the imperial examination in the former Tang Dynasty, if the big shots say a word, the road to progress in the imperial examination will be dead. No matter how talented you are, it will be useless. Not to mention Li Bai, Gao Shi is an excellent example.
There were also many unfair cases in the imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations. In terms of fairness, the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty, especially in the early and middle periods of the Northern Song Dynasty, were relatively the best, not to mention that there was absolutely no cheating.
There is nothing we can do about the writing style of Xikun Ti, Taixue Ti, etc. It is the tendency of the entire literati subgroup, rather than a big shot deciding who can be admitted and who must be deposed. This is very rare.
As the imperial examination would not be controlled by the Queen Mother, what Di Jin cared about most was that the books he wrote should not be regarded as tools of murder and become banned books.
The banned book may arouse people's curiosity and secretly read it, but it will definitely have a great impact on the subsequent release of "The Collection of Redress of Wrongs", and it can easily create a bad first impression.
So he wanted to characterize the case.
"The Biography of Su Wuming" promotes the concept of solving crimes with evidence first. It is precisely because of the existence of this book that the murderer worried that his evidence of his crime would be discovered, so he took desperate risks and made slanders. The result was more than enough, and he was eventually exposed.
Di Jin knew that just as Liu E would not be as obediently a tool as the ministers hoped, reality would often not be as perfect as he imagined.
But since the Queen Mother in the palace regards herself as a small chess piece, don't blame her for discerning the facts of the case and really finding out the truth that the Queen Mother does not want to see!
…
Liu's Mansion is the imperial residence, and not surprisingly it is located in Taipingfang, the first wing of Zuojun.
When Di Jin and his party were invited by the Guo family to visit Guo Chengqing's house, Di Xiangling was not there to investigate the aftermath of the evil ghost murder case in the inn, so it was her first time to set foot in this wealthy area where powerful people gathered. .

It didn't take long to find a place, because there were servants hanging white lanterns outside the house, but there was no sadness on their faces, but a faint sense of relief.
Di Xiangling observed carefully and found that there was more than one person hanging a lantern. Even the other servants who came in and out did not have any sadness in their brows and their steps were very brisk.
"It seems that there are quite a few people who want Liu Congguang to die!"
Observing the reactions of the servants was one of the things Di Jin requested to pay attention to. Di Xiangling waited for a long time and made sure that none of the servants sympathized with the deceased before ducking in.
She circled around the Liu Mansion and found the courtyard wall. She moved her body together and used a little strength on the wall to climb over easily.
Not every wealthy family is so easy to enter. For example, the nursing home of Leihuhu is patrolling all day long. Even Di Xiangling cannot sneak in in broad daylight, but the Liu family obviously does not have such conditions.
I don’t know whether it’s because I’m reluctant to pay for the employment, or because I feel that my family has a distinguished status and doesn’t need to hire so many nursing homes.
"With such a mansion guarded, outsiders can also enter and commit crimes?"
Di Xiangling confirmed the second point and headed towards the inner house.
Liu Congguang died the night before yesterday. According to the situation described by Gongsun Ce, no obvious trauma was found. After a preliminary autopsy, it was determined that his hands and feet were tied, his mouth and tongue were blocked by foreign objects, and there were marks on his face.
Later, after learning about Su Wuming's plot, he focused on checking the top of his head. Sure enough, he found a small wound in the center of his head, further confirming the murder method, but the murder weapon has not yet been found.
In Di Jin's view, such autopsy techniques are undoubtedly unqualified.
How Liu Congguang died has not been determined.
The best way is undoubtedly to come to the scene.
No case can be investigated without leaving the scene, especially murder cases. The shape of blood stains and the location of traces of objects at the scene can all reflect the murderer's crime process.
So Di Xiangling arrived at the inner house instead of Di Jin, walking in a direction that the servants could avoid.
The corpse's room arrived soon. The Kaifeng Mansion's yamen went elsewhere to search for the murder weapon, but no one was left to guard it. The servants of the Mansion were even more reluctant to approach this unlucky place and hid far away.
There was no suggestion that it was haunted. Di Xiangling entered calmly, his eyes like lightning, and he glanced around.
She heard Di Jin chatting about the corpse mark fixation line, and knew that it was a white line used to outline the position and posture of the fallen body. If there were such traces, the scene would undoubtedly be much easier to observe.
It's a pity that the Kaifeng government office obviously didn't do that.
That's fine, the key point is that Zuo Zuo should go to the scene to conduct an autopsy in order to have the most accurate first-hand information, but this is not possible in this era.
Because people generally regard couples as unknown, especially if they are from a wealthy family, how can they allow the other person to enter their back house?
Therefore, for an autopsy, the body must be carried to the morgue of the Yamen before the inspection can begin. If the family is unwilling, then issuing documents can be omitted. After all, it is the family's request.
The Liu Mansion did not let the widow come in for inspection, but carried Liu Congguang's body to the Kaifeng Mansion Office, which naturally greatly damaged the scene.
Recalling his brother's story, Di Xiangling began to observe: "If the scene was not damaged, then we need to carefully examine the state, body position, posture, and clothing of the corpse, and try our best to restore the sequence of 'from movement to stillness.'"
"At the same time, look around the body for any evidence that may be related to the crime, such as blood, hair, vomit, and any murder weapon that could kill someone."
"The most important thing is the blood stains, which include dripping, splattering, splashing, wiping, and pools of blood. Through careful classification, we can reconstruct the situation at the time of the crime, indicate the location of the initial injury to the deceased, and determine the height of the murderer. and strength, to determine whether the murderer has moved the corpse..."
Without the body, the first thing Di Xiangling looked for was blood, but she walked around twice in this rather gorgeous room, searching every nook and cranny, but did not find a drop of blood, and she couldn't help but frown. He showed a puzzled expression: "This is strange, isn't it bloodless?"
Di Xiangling doesn't know how to do autopsies, but he knows how to kill people.
In her opinion, even if a master of martial arts kills him with one blow, the deceased will be killed before he can react at all. After death, blood will flow from the corners of the mouth, and blood stains will inevitably appear at the scene.
And if there is no gushing blood, the lower body will often be incontinent, filled with excrement, and even more dirty.
In short, the scene of death is very dirty. If you want it to be clean, refreshing, elegant and poignant, it is basically in your imagination...
"Can a steel needle pierce the head from the top of the head into the brain be an exception?" Di Xiangling shook his head and looked out: "According to this, the corpse was removed as Brother Six said, and the corpse was dead. The location is not here?"
Just as she was about to leave here and expand the scope of searching for corpses to the surrounding rooms, she moved her brows again, stepped sideways to the window, and looked out through the gap in the window.
I saw a sneaky figure stepping into the courtyard and walking towards this side quietly. Before entering the house, I looked around to make sure no one was following me and then swooped in.
At this time, Di Xiangling had quietly arrived on the beam, looked down at this beautiful and curvaceous woman, walked quickly to the bed, lay down, and reached out to touch the bottom of the bed.
