The question about the county magistrate Gao Buwei is undoubtedly the question for everyone.
The female corpse is not Wu Wan, so who is the deceased? !
Who killed her? !
Since Wu Wan is not dead, where has she gone? !
Since Li Sheng was not the murderer of his second daughter, where was the real murderer? !
Under the torture of the three major questions, everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Tianming.
The case is becoming more and more confusing, making these unthinking police officers in Qandong County full of stupid questions. They just wish they could torture Qin Tianming to confess who the real culprit is.
However, Qin Tianming is a human being, not a god, so of course he cannot figure out what the case is all about at once.
To figure out this confusing case, we still need to conduct careful investigation and research.
Qin Tianming discovered that the deceased was not Wu Wan. This was only the first step in reopening the case.
Next, he still needs a lot of evidence to gradually find out the real culprit.
The case has been completely overturned by him. The deceased was not Wu Wan, so who was the deceased? This is the most critical factor.
If you figure out the source of the corpse, half of the case will be solved.
As for the cases of Li Sheng and Wu Wan, they may be solved together with this case.
It seems that the two cases need to be combined and tried together.
Qin Tianming had a hunch that it would be more appropriate to try this case together with the previous case.
Thinking of this, Qin Tianming turned his attention to the master who had always kept a low profile.
In the Qiandong County government office, Qin Tianming had long discovered that among all the servants, if they could be considered human beings, only Master Tan Laosi was a talented person.
This person is unassuming and taciturn, but he seems to be very sophisticated and very qualified.
He is different from Diao Shizhen and Li Shitong. He seems to be knowledgeable and somewhat literate.
He certainly has his own unique perspective on the case.
Qin Tianming knew that if he wanted to solve the case, he had to cooperate with this kind of person.
Yes, let’s start with the only person who understands!
This person must know something inside, but he just doesn't dare to tell it until the time comes.
Mining requires digging the big mine of Master.
Maybe we can dig out a gold mine.
I traveled to the Great Xia Kingdom and didn't have any friends for the time being. It would be great to make friends with a knowledgeable person like Master.
Qin Tianming quickly came to the master, nodded sincerely to him, and suddenly asked:
"Master Tan, you are the master, so you must know something about this case, right?"
The master stood up hurriedly, bowed his hands and said:
"The villain acts as a master and is responsible for recording all murder cases in the county government, so he knows a little bit about it."
The answer is an out-and-out golden mean.
Okay, okay,
Qin Tianming applauded repeatedly, then got straight to the point and asked:
"Master Tan, since you know all the cases in the county government, I would like to trouble you to check the previous report records to see if there was any missing woman in the county half a year ago!? Her age and body shape are similar to Wu Wan's, probably in her thirties. He is old and fashionable, this is very important to me in deciding the case, so please tell the truth."
Sure enough, Master Tan Laosi had a clear idea. He had actually prepared the information a long time ago. He picked up a case and said to Qin Tianming:
"It just so happened that six months ago, someone from the Hu family in Dongcheng came to the county government to file a complaint, saying that one of their maids, Xiaomei, had been missing for many days and her life and death were unknown. The Hu family highly suspected that the maid's adoptive father had killed her, but because Xiaomei was alive No one was dead, no body was seen, and his whereabouts were never found. In the end, the case just went unsolved and became an unsolved case, left here and no one cares about it anymore.”
Qin Tianming's eyes lit up and he said:
"Okay, okay, since it's such a coincidence, I would like to try two cases together to see if I can find out the real culprit behind the scenes!?"
Trial both cases concurrently? !
Hearing that Qin Tianming wanted to try the two cases together, the county magistrate Gao Buwei hurriedly came down from the court, approached Qin Tianming, and asked cautiously:
"Try the two cases concurrently? Qin Tianming, are you sure? If you are not sure, I hope you will not disturb the people of the county!"
Qin Tianming was having fun and ignored Magistrate Gao. Instead, he looked up at Xu Ruhai, the Imperial Envoy sitting high in the hall, and said deliberately:
"Master Xu, since Master Gao is worried about villains harassing county citizens and complicating a simple case, hahaha, let's just forget about this case!"
Xu Ruhai was shocked when he heard this and said on the spot:
"The true nature of this case has been revealed, how can we let it go? Qin Tianming, I will give you the decision. You just solve the case and arrest the people. No matter whether they are dignitaries or relatives of the emperor, or how many people are involved, you just bring them for questioning. , there must be no mistake! If someone dares to stop you from handling the case, ask him for it!"
With the imperial envoy as his backer, Qin Tianming felt much more at ease.
Qin Tianming smiled comfortably and said:
"I'm not a high-ranking official, let alone a relative of the emperor. I just want to invite Xiaomei's family and her adoptive father to ask, that's all."
Xu Ruhai slapped the alarm again and immediately ordered:
"Diao Shizhen, Li Tai, I order you two to arrest people quickly. As long as they are from Xiaomei's family, no matter who they are, no matter how big or small they are, arrest them all! Oh oh oh, and Xiaomei's adoptive father, we must Take the lock and bring it to justice! No mistakes!"
Qin Tianming hurriedly corrected:
"Mr. Xu, please don't disturb anyone under the age of sixteen, okay?"
"Okay, okay, everything is up to you!"
Xu Ruhai said hurriedly.
When the imperial minister spoke, Diao Shizhen and Li Tai did not dare to neglect, and took Han Meng and others to quickly get the person.
Watching Diao Shizhen and others leave, Qin Tianming was not idle. Instead, he looked at his master Ma Shicai who was standing in the hall and stared at him.
Ma Shicai was a little uncomfortable with Qin Tianming's eyes, and he stammered and asked:
"Qin Dachuzuo, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, but don't stare at me like this. It makes me uncomfortable."
Qin Tianming grinned and suddenly asked Ma Shicai:
"Ma Dachuzuo, I want to ask you a question, where did Wu Wan go?"
The question came a bit unexpectedly, and Ma Shicai said angrily:
"You ask me, who should I ask?!"
Qin Tianming stared at Ma Shicai and continued to ask:
"You really don't know where she went?"
Ma Shicai looked calm and said coldly:
"Qin Tianming, your question is a bit ridiculous. How do I know where Wu Wan went? Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Qin Tianming nodded and said:
"It's okay if you don't know, it's okay if you don't know! I hope you don't remember it wrong."
Li Shitong couldn't sit still, stood up and said to Qin Tianming:
"Qin Tianming, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that there is something wrong with my apprentice?"
Qin Tianming hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Where, where, how dare I doubt your apprentice? I don't dare, I don't dare!"
Li Shitong warned Qin Tianming:
"There is nothing wrong with my apprentice. He is an honest man. Don't talk nonsense!"
…
Time flies by very quickly. From the watchman’s call, we know that it is almost morning time.
After working hard for most of the night, everyone was a little hungry.
After the county magistrate Gao Buwei consulted the imperial envoy Xu Ruhai for his opinion, he hurriedly ordered people to go to the kitchen to make some late-night snacks for everyone to eat first, and then continue to solve the case during the day.
Soon, the chef prepared a large pot of wontons and served them.
Qin Tianming was also a little hungry at this moment, so he picked up a bowl of wontons and wolfed them down.
Li Shitong and Ma Shicai had become incompatible with Qin Tianming, and they should not pay attention to Qin Tianming. However, on the contrary, the two of them came to Qin Tianming happily holding bowls and said in unison:
"I would like to ask Qin Dachuzuo, is he already confident about solving the case? Isn't that right?"
It was obviously a prying tone.
It can also be said that we have found out the bottom.
Qin Tianming understood what they were thinking, so he nodded and said:
"I already know everything about this case. You two just have to wait and see the good show."
Ma Shicai's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he almost shouted:
"Do you really have a clue to solve the case?!"
Li Shitong was also a little frightened.
Qin Tianming took a bite of wontons and said arrogantly:
"There are clues everywhere in the case. I already know who the murderer is. Hahaha, you two feel a little surprised, don't you?"
Li Shitong suppressed his surprise and said coldly:
"I hope Qin Dachu's plan will be successful! It will also save your head."
Qin Tianming laughed and said:
"I hope you don't lose any flesh on your body!"
Okay, okay, I'll be cruel to you!
Li Shitong and Ma Shicai left harshly.
After the two left, the master also came over and seemed to have something to say.
Qin Tianming knew that the time had come, so he quickly approached the master and asked in a low voice:
"Master Tan, do you really have no opinion on this case?"
The master saw that there was no one around him, so he dared to speak:
"Qin Tianming, I think you do have some talent, but this is the county government of Qiandong County and it's very complicated. Aren't you afraid that they will kill you?"
Qin Tianming was reminded by his master, and then he remembered the reality that he was still a death row prisoner, shook his head and sighed:
"Master Tan, if I don't offend them and go along with them, but the case can't be solved, won't I die? Sooner or later, I will die. It's better to kill them first, and then I will die later!"
The master nodded and said:
"That's true, it's too difficult for you, but..."
Qin Tianming stared at the master and asked quietly:
"Just a stone horse?"
The master looked around and saw no one, then said:
"It's just that the former case is easy to solve, but the latter case may be difficult to solve."
Qin Tianming said immediately:
"I wonder if Master has any advice? Just give me some advice!"
The master whispered:
"As far as I know, someone came to the county government to file a complaint half a month ago, saying that he saw Wu Wan."
Stone horse? !
Is there such a thing?
Well, Ma Shicai and Li Shitong, I guessed it right, you two really have something up your sleeve.
Qin Tianming was shocked and asked hurriedly:
"Is this true?!"
The master didn’t dare to go into details, so he just stopped there:
"As for what's going on, please interrogate Li Sheng carefully. I'm afraid the answer lies in his mouth."
The master knew very well that Li Shitong and Ma Shicai worked together in collusion and accepted many people's money. It was related to their vital interests. He did not dare to say anything because he might be killed by them.
The master's words made Qin Tianming think.
The cases began to flow into his mind and began to become clearer.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up and shouted directly:
"I want to re-interrogate Li Sheng!"
