Looking at Diao Shizhen's arrogant expression, Qin Tianming said calmly:
"Yes, I'm talking about the distance between the wheels! Master Diao should know it very well."
Diao Shizhen's expression instantly changed from arrogance to disdain, and he said coldly:
"What does wheel spacing have to do with this case?"
Qin Tianming was so confused that everyone asked unhappily:
"Yes, Qin Tianming, we are analyzing the case now, what does your mention of wheels have to do with it? It's just baffling."
"This is nonsense! The case has confused us, and you still mention the rut, it's useless!"
Li Shitong was jealous of Qin Tianming's analytical skills and said angrily.
Qin Tianming ignored the ridicule and continued to question Diao Shizhen:
"Master Diao, you have nothing to do with what I said has anything to do with this case. Just answer my question, what is the relationship between the rut distance in Daxia and the car!"
In fact, Diao Shizhen didn't understand these principles at all. On the surface, he seemed to know how to write, but he had never studied cars in detail, so of course he couldn't explain anything.
But he refused to admit defeat and said:
"Qin Tianming, we are studying the case now. I don't want to discuss things other than the case with you! If we have a chance in the future, we will discuss the issue of rutting with you."
Among everyone, only the master sneered and remained silent.
Qin Tianming knew that the master was very knowledgeable. He looked around and felt that among the officers in Qandong County, the only one who could discuss it with the master was the one who could not understand anything else.
Qin Tianming leaned forward to the master and asked deliberately:
"Master Tan, what are you laughing at? Do you think I, Qin Tianming, are ridiculous like everyone else?"
Qin Tian clearly knew that the master was laughing at these ignorant judges, so he deliberately asked the master to laugh at the stone horse.
The master understood what he was thinking, stepped forward quickly, and said:
"Qin Dachuzuo, I can answer the question you just asked!"
oh?
Qin Tianming suddenly became energetic. He looked at Diao Shizhen and said deliberately:
"Since you are the only one among these officials who knows the secrets of the Great Xia Kingdom, please spread this simple knowledge to these officials."
Diao Shizhen stared angrily.
Li Shitong disagreed.
The master walked up to everyone and said leisurely:
"According to the vehicle regulations of our Daxia Kingdom, ordinary people's vehicles are ox-carts, and the distance between the wheels must not exceed one meter. If they are scholar-officials and above, they use horse-drawn carriages, but the distance between the wheels must not exceed two meters. That is to say, the scholar-officials are the highest The level is like a horse-drawn carriage! You must not go beyond the regulations, otherwise you will be punished."
Master Tan is worthy of being called the Great Xia National Living Dictionary, he knows so much!
Qin Tianming nodded and expressed his appreciation for the master's analysis. He then asked:
"What about the royal carriage? Is the royal carriage something else?"
Royal carriage?
The master said again:
"Of course, according to regulations, the royal carriage of Daxia Kingdom is one level higher than that of a scholar-bureaucrat. The distance between the wheels can reach three meters. If the emperor travels, eight-horse carriages are also very common! Princes also travel with eight horses. Cars, vehicle regulations are brilliant.”
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
OK OK!
OK OK!
Qin Tianming clapped excitedly, thinking that Qandong County was not just full of idiots, but there were also sensible people like Master, so he said excitedly:
"Okay, okay, Master is really knowledgeable, which is extremely valuable. After your explanation just now, you immediately solved a doubt in my mind, and the details of the ghost case suddenly became clear!"
Qin Tianming's excitement was beyond words.
But among the officials and servants standing in the corpse warehouse, Monk Zhanger was all confused.
Magistrate Gao is considered an extremely refined person, but he doesn't understand what kind of medicine Qin Tianming bought in the gourd?
Since Qin Tianming settled the case, the Qiandong County police officers have discovered that this person likes to make mysteries, and he may just be lucky to solve the case, but he may not have real talent or learning.
He often boasts that he has clues to solve the case, but where are the clues?
Qin Tianming didn't wait for anyone to complain, and said directly:
"You may be wondering why I asked about Daxia's vehicle regulations. Now let me tell you, I happened to find some wheel marks at the exit of the sinkhole! According to my judgment, these wheel tracks are not simple."
Diao Shizhen and Li Shitong asked at the same time:
"Did you find rut marks at the exit of the dark cave?"
Qin Tianming smiled seriously, nodded and said:
"Yes, the villain discovered a mysterious wheel rut at the exit of the dark cave, so I'm here to ask you about the wheel regulations in Daxia. Do you understand now?"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
Magistrate Gao asked anxiously:
"Qin Tianming, you found stone horse-like wheel marks at the exit of the dark cave? Tell me."
Qin Tianming said categorically:
"If I guessed correctly, what I found at the exit of the dark cave should be a royal vehicle!"
Royal vehicle? !
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Royal vehicle! ? How did the royal vehicle end up in the wilderness? impossible!
Isn't this nonsense?
Why did the royal vehicle come to the poor village to avoid it, and it seemed that Qin Tianming became a suspect?
What nonsense!
Li Shitong took the lead in attacking Qin Tianming and said:
"Qin Tianming, can you please stop making nonsense? Do you suspect that someone in the palace is out to harm people? Do you know that if you make such nonsense, you will be punished by the court!"
"Bullshit!"
"Nonsense!"
Everyone protested collectively.
Magistrate Gao also stepped forward and said cautiously:
"Qin Tianming, what you say must have evidence. If you don't have evidence, don't involve the royal family. The consequences will be very serious. We might even be involved in Qandong County. You must be careful what you say."
Master also said:
"Yes, Qin Tianming, solving a case is a serious matter. Everyone remembers every word you say clearly and don't dare to mess around!"
The master did not reject Qin Tianming, but felt that he was a talent, so he was worried and angry for him.
In Qandong County, the master was very optimistic about Qin Tianming and did not want him to be killed early by these mediocre people.
By killing Qin Tianming, Master will no longer have a rare confidant.
The master was anxious, but Qin Tianming was not anxious, but said calmly:
"You have all misunderstood me. In fact, it is not that I suspected that someone from the palace did this case, but the evidence told me that the person who committed the crime may be from the palace. Do you understand? Also, I have something else here. You can take a look at the things and discuss them later.”
After Qin Tianming finished speaking, he took out an eagle-shaped accessory from his arms, handed it to the master, and said:
"Master Tan, you are very knowledgeable. You should be familiar with this kind of accessories, right?"
The master took the accessory Qin Tianming gave him, turned it over and over, and looked at it carefully for a long time. Suddenly his face changed drastically and he said in surprise:
"Qin Tianming, where did you get this thing?!"
Qin Tianming said with a smile:
"It's not difficult to get this thing. I picked it up from the cave where the victim died. Master, do you think this thing is very mysterious?"
The master held up the eagle-shaped accessory in his hand and said:
"If I remember correctly, this is an accessory for the senior palace guards. Royal guards are generally divided into three levels: first-rate dragon-type guards, second-rate tiger-type guards, and third-rate eagle-type guards. This accessory belongs to the third-rate guards. Thing, 1 Qin Tianming, how come this thing is in your hands!?"
Accessories are the lifeblood of a royal guard and are generally not lost.
Qin Tianming smiled charmingly and said:
"Master, you should ask me how I found this accessory, rather than how it came to be in my hands! You may not know that I inspect the scene very carefully and will not miss every detail, so on the scene It was easy to find this accessory! Even though it was hidden under the dust, it could not escape my search."
Magistrate Gao became more and more frightened the more he listened.
After Qin Tianming's analysis, things became obviously more and more scary.
This matter clearly involves the Imperial Palace of Daxia!
Are the royal guards of Daxia Kingdom involved in the ghost case?
Is this a big deal? !
Gao Buwei quickly came to Qin Tianming and asked in a low voice:
"Qin Tianming, according to your reasoning, does this case involve the palace?"
Hmm hmm hmm,
Qin Tianming pretended to be relaxed and said:
"Yes, all the signs and evidence seem to point to the palace. So, this case seems to be no small case. Mr. Gao, you must be mentally prepared! Don't be frightened when the time comes."
Gao Buwei is scared now.
How dare he, a small seventh-grade county magistrate, try to solve a case involving the imperial palace?
Isn’t that seeking death?
Hearing what Qin Tianming said, not only Gao Buwei, but also everyone else was dumbfounded.
Didn't they expect that the palace would be involved in this case?
This is how to do? !
Their Gandong County is a small government office. If this case really involves the palace, the investigation is useless!
Isn’t investigating the involvement of the palace guards in a ghost case tantamount to committing suicide?
The master was the only one who was relatively sober. He separated everyone and went up to ask Qin Tianming:
"Qin Dachuzuo, since you already have major clues, you must have some control over the case. I would like to hear your opinion!"
The master's words made the frightened Magistrate Gao suddenly wake up and hurriedly echoed:
"Yes, yes, yes, Qin Tianming, tell me quickly who the murderer is!?"
Qin Tianming was really disappointed with these people.
These people only asked who the murderer was, but never cared about how to find the murderer.
They only care about the answer, not the process.
They are all lazy people who don't like to use their brains. It's no wonder that Daxia is so corrupt and the grassroots officials are so virtuous. It's no wonder that the country is not destroyed.
Qin Tianming was very unhappy, but he still analyzed it thoroughly and said:
"Based on the eagle accessories left in the cave and the rut marks outside the dark cave, I initially judged that the person who committed the crime was definitely not a folk expert, but an internal expert! Moreover, I also doubt a place! This place is very mysterious, all All clues in the case point to this place."
Gao Buwei asked in surprise:
"You doubt one place? Where do you doubt?!"
Qin Tianming stared at everyone and said:
"You haven't been to the scene, so you probably don't know much about it. There is a mountain not far from the exit of the sinkhole. I don't know that mountain is called Shima Mountain. There is an ancient temple on the mountain. I suspect something is wrong here!"
Everyone was puzzled.
What does the ghost case have to do with the ancient temple on the mountain?
Qin Tianming's mind moves so fast that no one can keep up with his thinking.
His idea is far beyond everyone's thinking. Even the master who thinks carefully can't reach it.
Magistrate Gao was surprised and said:
"You suspect an ancient temple?! What does the ancient temple have to do with this case?!"
The master was still smart and said hurriedly:
"Qin Tianming, what you mean is that you found that all those vehicles went to the ancient temple on the top of the mountain, right? Apart from that, I don't know why you suspect an ancient temple?"
