Looking at Qin Tianming who was getting angry, the master slowly took a sip of tea and said:
"Speaking of the cases in our Gandong County, there are so many, but there are actually not many major cases and homicides that are of vital importance. I have carefully checked the cases accumulated in the warehouse in the past few days, and there are only hundreds of them. , I think you, Qin Tianming, do have some tricks to solve the case, so as long as you put some thought into solving those major murder cases that are of great concern to the court and have great influence on the people, let alone saying that you can avoid death, I think you can still be promoted. !”
High promotion?
Qin Tianming felt miserable and said:
"I don't think it's a matter of Gao Sheng. As long as I can survive, I'll be thankful."
The master nodded and said seriously:
"There are many murders in Qandong County, but there are not many cases that the court keeps a close eye on, so as long as you can solve these cases with red stars, things will become different."
Qin Tianming began to understand a little and asked:
"So the cases here can be solved selectively?"
"Of course,"
Gao Buwei, who had always dared not speak out, said:
"Qin Tianming, that case can be re-solved, and that case cannot be touched. It all depends on your understanding. For example, we can't mess around with the case in charge of our predecessor Jiang Taijun, because he has now been promoted to the judge of Bei'an Prefecture. There are no unjust cases in the cases that I have handled, do you understand? Also, the original magistrate of Qandong County, Shi Taigao, is now the head of the Criminal Department. The cases he is responsible for are naturally ironclad. You and I can't overturn the case, understand. Of course there are negative examples, such as the villain Gao Zhixian, the county magistrate who defected to the vassal states. Naturally, all his cases must be re-investigated, because this person is not reliable in the first place. Are any of the cases he has handled good?"
Oh oh oh,
This was the first time Qin Tianming heard the hidden secrets of Daxia Kingdom since he traveled through time.
It seems that my idea of immersing myself in solving the case is wrong. If I accidentally offend those officials in Gaosheng, things will be in trouble. It is better to be cautious in everything.
Qin Tianming hurriedly raised his hands and said:
"Qin Tianming has just arrived and knows nothing about the situation here. He will need to be reminded by Master Gao and Master in the future. Qin Tianming would like to thank you two adults in advance."
Master took the opportunity to take over the topic and said:
"Qin Tianming. Don't be too stressed. In fact, there are not as many cases as you think. So, in this way, three times five divided by two, the cases that should be handled cannot be dropped, and the cases that should not be handled need to be thoroughly investigated , Counting it all, hehehe, Qin Dachuzuo, the so-called tens of thousands of cases are actually not that many! "
Qin Tianming didn't expect that there were so many Taoism in Qandong County, and he didn't know it at all.
I thought that all the backlogged cases would have to be redone.
It seems unnecessary.
Well, the fewer cases there are, the greater the chance of survival.
Qin Tianming suddenly became energetic and said loudly:
"Thank you sir for the reminder. I want to resolve the case now, but I don't know which case should come first?"
Gao Buwei and Fourth Master Tan said almost at the same time:
"There is a ghost case here, which is most important! If this case is cleared up, not to mention Bei'an Mansion, the imperial court, and even the emperor will treat you differently."
"Really? Is there such a serious case?"
"real!"
The master nodded vigorously as an answer.
Qin Tianming felt excited and said directly:
"Then please tell me quickly, what is the mystery behind this case?"
Magistrate Gao winked at Master Tan, Master Tan stood up and left, returning a moment later with a large pile of cases more than a foot high in his hands, which he piled on the table in front of Qin Tianming.
The master placed the case, then patted the dust on it and said:
"Qin Tianming, please look carefully. This case is the so-called ghost case that happened in Qandong County. This case has been tried for ten years. It has gone through three dynasties, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai. Three times before and after, no answer or murderer was found, so it is still a mystery to this day, and it is known as a ghost case among the people!"
Is there still such a case in Qandong County?
This case aroused Qin Tianming's curiosity.
He is ready to learn more about it and is determined to win it!
Qin Tianming said with a smile:
"There is such a weird case? It has been ten years and three dynasties and it has not been tried clearly. Is it really weird? I would like to take a closer look and see if I can solve it!"
Gao Buwei sneered a few times and said:
"Qin Tianming, it doesn't matter that after three dynasties there has been no clear trial. The most terrifying thing is that the case is still going on and the dead are still appearing, but the real culprit can't be found!"
"This case is still ongoing? Mr. Gao, do you mean that the murderer is still killing people?"
Gao Buwei nodded and said:
"Yes, that's why this case alarmed the new emperor."
"Has this case alarmed the Emperor?"
Gao Buwei was in great pain, shook his head and said:
"Yes, this case is extremely strange. Starting from the previous emperor, the murderer would appear once every once in a while and kill seven people, and each time he would leave the skull of the deceased. So far, there have been more than seventy people. Killed!"
“More than seventy people were killed?!”
The master sighed and said:
"The number of more than seventy people is just a statistical figure. Without statistics, I'm afraid there are over a hundred people."
Qin Tianming was a little surprised:
"Over a hundred people? According to common sense, the more murders a murderer makes, the easier it is for him to reveal his secret. How come he has killed more than a hundred people and yet the murderer has not been arrested yet?"
"yes!"
The master picked up a stack of cases, shook them and said to Qin Tianming:
"This case is indeed very unusual. It first occurred in our Qiandong County, and then developed to the suburbs of Bei'an Prefecture. Later, the murderer actually sneaked into the palace and killed officials and concubines there. It shocked the whole country and made people afraid to go out at night. , all the doors and windows were locked, and the inner area of the palace was also strictly guarded, it was really scary."
The master continued:
"This case has consumed our country, Great Xia, countless manpower and material resources. It has wasted people and money for a long time."
Qin Tianming became curious and said excitedly:
"I, Qin Tianming, like this kind of challenging cases, it's so exciting!"
The master said coldly:
"Qin Tianming, don't be anxious. Let's take a look at the case first. This case is a headache for both the Yushitai Marble and the Ministry of Punishment. You, Qin Tianming, may not be able to solve the case. If not, it's better not to cause trouble!"
The more the master makes this case mysterious, the more Qin Tianming wants to take over!
Qin Tianming took the case from his master, shook his head and said:
"This is really weird. The murderer killed more than 70 people. Didn't he leave any flaws? If the murderer is a ghost, I believe it. If the murderer is an ordinary person, I don't believe it is true at all."
The master also shook his head and said:
"Don't tell me that Qin Tianming doesn't believe it. Even the experts at Dali Temple are at their wits' end and can't figure it out. The government and the public in Daxia have spent countless manpower and investigated for ten years, but they still haven't been able to bring the real culprit to justice. , in the end, the former emperor could only declare the case a ghost case and no longer try it."
Gao Buwei frowned and said:
"When I first came to Qandong County as the county magistrate, I sent people to investigate the case, but all failed. This shows how serious this case is. I am afraid it is really the work of ghosts and gods!"
Qin Tianming picked up the case file, looked through it briefly, and immediately understood the general facts of the case.
The murderer has been targeting seven people, killing only seven people at a time. The method of committing the crime is cruel, and the bodies are usually abandoned in strange places, usually in caves or wells.
After reading the case report, Qin Tianming had a preliminary understanding of the case and planned to take it over.
He said to the master:
"This case is not too strange. There are many talents in the court. Why can't they solve this case?"
The master waved his hand and said:
"There are many mysteries in this case, and it seems to involve relatives of the emperor. How dare Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment pursue it to the end!"
Qin Tianming said in surprise:
"This case also involves relatives of the emperor?"
The master spread his hands and said:
"This is a folk saying, and there is no real evidence."
Qin Tianming frowned and said:
"In other words, this case is indeed complicated, and the court is powerless to do anything about it and can only give up, right?"
"exactly!"
Magistrate Gao nodded and said:
"The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are not incompetent, but they cannot solve the case, so the former emperor had to give up and classify the case as a death case and will not allow the case to be tried again."
Qin Tianming patted the thick case, shook his head in disappointment and said:
"Since the imperial court prohibits us from being involved in this case, how dare we try the case again? Isn't this asking for trouble? If it really involves relatives of the emperor, I think we should forget it."
"It's a long story,"
Magistrate Gao Buwei sighed and said:
"Do you know the new emperor?"
Qin Tianming said immediately:
"Have heard a little bit."
Gao Buwei stood up, looked around to make sure there was no one else in the room, and then whispered:
"The newly appointed son-emperor Xia Wen is only sixteen years old. Although he is very young, he is extremely smart and arrogant. He vowed to revive the imperial court and restore the glory of the Great Xia Kingdom. At that time, a ghost case happened again. Seven maids in the palace were murdered late at night, and their corpses were floating in the Taihu Lake in the palace. The new emperor was furious and ordered the Third Division to find the murderer and offered a reward of one million silver taels to solve the backlog. Therefore, the case was restarted. The Third Division attached great importance to the case and ordered We in Qandong County can organize our own investigation and start the investigation without making any mistakes!"
Oh oh oh,
Oh I see.
No wonder Magistrate Gao had trouble sleeping and eating. It was only because this case related to his future and life that he was so anxious and angry.
Qin Tianming looked at the Ghost Case Sect, which was more than a foot thick in front of him, and said calmly:
"This case is indeed strange. The murderer killed more than 700 people. This person must be extraordinary. But the more strange the case, the more it arouses my interest, Qin Tianming. Don't worry, Mr. Gao. I have taken over the case and will not solve it." The case will never be settled!"
Gao Buwei stared at Qin Tianming and asked cautiously:
"This case concerns the court and the emperor. It is not a child's play. If you dare to take over the case, there will be two endings: First, if you fail, all the nine tribes will be wiped out, and the officials of Qandong County will be collectively destroyed. Second, if you succeed, your future will be irreversible. Limited, unlimited!”
The master encouraged and said:
"Qin Tianming, if you really crack this case, you will be prosperous just around the corner!"
Qin Tianming asked in fear:
"How to develop? How to be limitless?"
Master Tan said leisurely beside him:
"Qin Tianming, if you really crack this case, the Emperor will be very happy. At that time, not to mention the Qiandong County magistrates, you will also have the choice of princes, generals and ministers!"
Are princes, generals and ministers at my choice? Is that too serious?
I, Qin Tianming, am a pariah. In the Great Xia Kingdom, I belong to the kind of people who cannot take the imperial examination for three generations. How can I still be a prince or a general? Isn't this a dream?
County Magistrate Gao saw that Qin Tianming didn't believe it, so he said directly:
"I don't dare to use this black gauze hat on my head to guarantee that if you solve this case, you will definitely be able to rise to great heights! I can guarantee it!"
Qin Tianming trembled all over and said harshly:
"Then let me give it a try first!"
