The next day, the rain stopped.
Song Huifu took the people from Chaosi to the ruins of Wanli Casino to see if they could find any useful clues in the fire site.
Wang Zhenwei, the commander of the Anti-Theft Department of Dali Temple, also came to support.
Just last night, Liu Wangshu, who went to Pingshan County in Jizhou, rushed back to Dali Temple day and night. The defense manpower in Dali Temple in the divine capital was liberated, and Wang Zhenwei was able to spare his time to support Wannian County.
At the same time, Wang Zhenwei also brought a piece of news.
"Sir, this is the secret message that Master Ji asked me to bring you!"
Yang Qingyuan took a bamboo joint brought by Wang Zhenwei. The seal was sealed with wax and stamped with the official seal of the Guangwen Department to prove the integrity of the seal.
This is already the second highest level of information in Dali Temple! Unless it is designated to a specific person, only those with two or more lines are qualified to unseal and inspect it.
Yang Qingyuan opened the wax seal and found a cipher text encoded in numbers.
The password dictionary was compiled by Yang Qingyuan and has been memorized in my heart. There is no need to look up the dictionary at all.
Because Yang Qingyuan narcissistically used his own original and borrowed poems as the code dictionary of Dali Temple.
“According to…Li…Yue…er…remembered…five…days…ago…Yaya…suspected…had…met…his…father…in…God…”
"According to Li Yue'er's recollection, Yaya seemed to have seen his father in the capital of gods five days ago!?"
Li Yue'er was Fangyuan's subordinate and was once responsible for taking care of Yaya.
At this time, there were only three people in the room: Wang Zhenwei, Di Zhiyuan and Yang Qingyuan.
"Is this what Chief Ji found out?!" Di Zhiyuan asked.
This information is confirming Yang Qingyuan's and Di Zhiyuan's previous suspicion.
There's probably something wrong with Li Shou's appearance! ! The murderer might have disguised himself as Li Shou, or even Li Shou looked very similar to the murderer! The murderer also silenced himself because he was afraid of being recognized.
Di Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, "What a pity, everyone who may have seen Li Shou is dead now! There were originally Yaya and Grandma Li, but I didn't expect the murderer to be so ruthless and decisive."
Yang Qingyuan did not comment, but said slowly:
"There is no point in saying this now! The question is how to find the person who may look similar to Li Shou!?"
Shendu is the largest city in the world, and its registered and unregistered population combined is estimated to be six to seven million!
Among these people, how is finding one person different from finding a needle in a haystack? !
"There's another clue!"
Yang Qingyuan put on a whale skin glove and took out a white jade fan pendant from the evidence bag in his arms.
"This is the fan pendant I got from the Liu family. According to Meng Jue, this is the token of love exchanged between Miss Liu and 'Li Shou'!"
Di Zhiyuan and Wang Zhenwei on the side also put on whale skin gloves.
"Miss Liu...Miss Meng regarded this fan pendant as a treasure. After Meng Xue's death, it was collected by Meng Jue. Therefore, there should not be many fingerprints on it. There may even be only three fingerprints on it: Li Shou, Meng Xue, and Meng Jue. Human fingerprints.”
Di Zhiyuan also smiled and said, "In other words, Li Shou's fingerprints can be found on it!"
"If fingerprints that do not belong to Li Shou and Meng Xue are found on it, then these are the fingerprints left by the person who pretended to be 'Li Shou' and raped and killed Meng Xue!"
"This is really in line with what you said, 'There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is a village full of bright flowers and dark willows'!"
Yang Qingyuan also smiled, "Of course!"
Wang Zhenwei on the side was stunned for a while, explaining that Li Shou, pretending to be Li Shou, staying with Yang Qingyuan, Di Zhiyuan and Song Hui's father, it is easy for him to lose his mind!
Everyone laughs at Ye Jianhan, but everyone is Ye Jianhan!
Sometimes, being a swordsman or a thug can make life much more nourishing!
Not only that, Yang Qingyuan also collected Mengxue's thumbprints in Mengxue's boudoir, and at the same time collected the thumbprints of Mengxue's personal maid, the dead Chunxue.
After eliminating the distractors, what remains is the answer.
Yang Qingyuan took out the grain-revealing powder and sprinkled it on the white jade fan pendant. This step should have been carried out in the darkroom, but in order to save time, Yang Qingyuan, although Wang Zhenwei and Di Zhiyuan could not see it, Yang Qingyuan's Taoist eyes increased. The innate body double buff can see fingerprints clearly with the naked eye, coupled with his amazing memory of text and graphics, allowing Yang Qingyuan to directly transform into a fingerprint scanner.
"Zhiyuan, bring me the piece of paper with Li Shou's fingerprints on it!"
Di Zhiyuan and Wang Zhenwei on the side looked at the white jade fan pendant in Yang Qingyuan's hand, completely unaware of what was happening!
I stared at the white jade fan pendant for a long time, but found nothing. I looked lonely!
Although I don’t know what Yang Qingyuan saw! But Di Zhiyuan still obediently took the three pieces of paper with Li Shou's thumbprint on them!
Yang Qingyuan glanced at it with a solemn expression!
Now there is conclusive evidence to prove that the person with whom Meng Xue made a lifelong private decision is not Li Shou!
The case has made great progress again.
But it also means that an unjust case happened under the nose of Dali Temple. Dali Temple even had two opportunities to correct it, but they missed it!
"Sir, what's the result?!" Di Zhiyuan saw Yang Qingyuan's expression and asked.
"I extracted a total of five different thumbprints on this white jade fan pendant!"
Yang Qingyuan continued, "One of them belongs to the deceased Meng Xue, and two belong to his father Meng Jue! But there are two fingerprints that do not belong to anyone known!"
"Not from Li Shou?!"
Yang Qingyuan replied, "It's not Li Shou, nor Meng Xue's maid! These should be the fingerprints left by the real murderer we are looking for!"
Di Zhiyuan also looked solemn. He also participated in the review of this case and did not find out the problem!
"Then what should we do now!?"
Wang Zhenwei looked at the two intellectual leaders and asked the same questions Ye Jianhan asked in the past.
Indeed, although there is the fingerprint of the mysterious fake 'Li Shou', in this era, fingerprints can only be used as evidence to prove the facts of a crime. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to try to find the culprit through fingerprints.
Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan looked at each other. Now they can only see what clues there are in Wanli Gambling House!
In the evening, Song Hui's father came back!
"How about Mr. Song?!"
Song Hui's father shook his head, "We can't find many clues! There was soot in the mouths of all the deceased, and due to the gambling house floor tiles and heavy rain, the method of painting corpses with sesame also lost its effectiveness! But judging from the scene, The deceased in the gambling den should have died in the fire!"
After saying these words, Song Hui's father took out a broken pottery fragment from an evidence bag.
"But one thing can be confirmed, this fire was man-made!"
Di Zhiyuan was wearing whale-skin gloves, which resulted in broken pottery fragments, and he seemed to smell a strange smell.
"Zhiyuan, there's no need to smell it! This is the smell of kerosene. I've smelled it before in a fire scene!"
"Other than that, there is nothing special to gain!"
A fire, followed by heavy rain, washed away all the remaining clues. Even with Song Huifu's ability, he couldn't find many clues.
The investigation once again hit an impasse.
But at night, a spirit pigeon from the capital broke the current predicament.
"Sir, Master Di! Mr. Song! Information from the capital!"
Wang Zhenwei took the small note and ran all the way through the door.
Yang Qingyuan took the note and started to translate it.
"According to intelligence, Zhou Mingsheng and Feng Qian are behind Wanli Casino!"
Feng Qian, the grandson of Feng Wuyi, the Duke of Ying (yǐng), is considered a rare outstanding figure among the descendants of honorable nobles. Not only is he well-equipped in both civil and military skills, but he has also made friends with many talented people and famous ladies! He has a wide network of contacts and is a cool person! His grandfather, Feng Wuyi, Duke of Ying, died of illness early, but survived the sword of Taizu. He is also the top nobleman in the capital today, second only to the four major princes.
"Sir, who is this Zhou Mingsheng?!"
Song Huifu and Di Zhiyuan knew Feng Qian's name, but Zhou Mingsheng had never heard of it!
"Zhou Mingsheng is a businessman!" Yang Qingyuan replied.
"merchant?!"
The identities of a businessman and Feng Qian are also very different! How come the two sides cooperated together! ?
But Yang Qingyuan’s subsequent Q&A explained this problem.
"Although Zhou Mingsheng is a merchant and has no official status, he is the brother of Crown Princess Zhou Mingyu and the brother-in-law of the Crown Prince."
Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu looked at each other and still had not heard of it.
"If you haven't heard of it, it's normal. This Zhou Mingsheng is different from ordinary relatives of the emperor. This person not only causes trouble in the capital, but also hides his identity and associates with talented people from all over the world. Although he does business, he can be regarded as a law-abiding person. There is nothing against the law! Therefore, he has no reputation in the capital. This person’s ambition is not small!”
As the prince's brother-in-law, it is taboo to associate with talented men of letters and nobles from all walks of life!
Everyone thinks that Yang Qingyuan is a princeling, but this is not the case.
Although Yang Qingyuan severely damaged the King of Chu in the water transport case and almost lost the opportunity to compete with the prince, it was not Yang Qingyuan's original intention to help the prince.
Yang Qingyuan has the same attitude as Yu Yanyi, Qian Muqian, Wang Hua and others, and is not involved in the dispute between the crown prince.
For future emperors, as long as there are no big problems with their conduct, it will be the same for them.
If the emperor is virtuous, everyone will naturally be happy.
It doesn't matter if the emperor is mediocre. The establishment of the cabinet is to share the emperor's worries.
For them, the important thing is that there is a normal person sitting in this seat. As for who sits, it actually doesn't mean much.
Even if King Chu came to power, he would not dare to attack Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan represents not one person! They are the pillars of the future country in the entire thirteen years of Yong'an, they are the Hanlin Academy and the Scholars, and they are also the Taoist forces headed by Wudang.
In the dynasty, even the appointment of official positions was not decided by the emperor.
The appointment of senior officials is subject to court recommendation. They are nominated by senior cabinet ministers in each ministry. With the approval of more than 60% of the officials participating in the court recommendation, they are then submitted to the emperor for approval.
For example, Yang Qingyuan's position as Shaoqing of Dali Temple was promoted through court recommendation!
If the emperor wants to appoint an official directly without going through the procedures, this person may not even be from the orthodox imperial examination.
This will arouse fierce opposition from the entire civil service group.
If you are a person like Taizu, you may not necessarily care about the attitude of the civil service group! Because even if the civil servants oppose it, he can still control the world!
But the king of later generations will not have the courage to fall out with the entire civil servant group.
If you want to follow Taizu's example, you will only end up with the country overthrown and the society in turmoil.
In all the ages, there is only one Taizu!
After killing a hundred thousand owls, the sword on his waist was still bloody.
Killing and abstaining from greed are the only way to go through the ages.
Having said that, Yang Qingyuan's attitude towards the prince is also cautious. After all, he is the crown prince of the country. There is no need to fall out unless he has to.
When they heard the name of the prince, Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu also frowned slightly.
"Sir, do you think Zhou Mingsheng and Feng Qian have anything to do with this case? Could they be the masterminds behind this case?"
Feng Qian and Zhou Mingsheng are now extremely qualified people!
Yang Qingyuan didn't dare to say for sure, "It's hard to say now. I have to go back to the capital tomorrow!"
He had to go back to Beijing and use the power of Six Gates and Shenhou Mansion to investigate Feng Qian and Zhou Mingsheng.
The next day, just when Yang Qingyuan was about to get up and return to Beijing, a policeman came to report!
"Sir, there is a group of people! They came to the fire site and wanted to survey the fire site! They were stopped by the brothers! They were about to take action!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
This group of people came a little unexpectedly, which made Yang Qingyuan feel strange!
"This place has been sealed off by Dali Temple. No one can enter without permission!"
A group of police officers from Dali Temple stood in front of him with their left hands on the handles of their swords.
"What if we want to force our way in?!"
Just when the leader finished speaking, Yang Qingyuan's voice with true energy arrived!
"Those who forcefully break in will be punished for obstructing official duties and will be taken down!"
When the Dali Temple detectives heard Yang Qingyuan's voice, their momentum instantly increased! !
"Keng!"
"Zheng!"
The sword in his palm was slightly unsheathed, as a shock.
"who!?"
Seeing the sudden toughness of the Dali Temple police officer, the leader immediately asked loudly.
Yang Qingyuan stepped forward slowly and threw a token to the leader, "Dali Temple Young Minister Yang Qingyuan!"
The leader looked at the token, but couldn't tell what it looked like. They were noble family generals. Although they knew Yang Qingyuan's reputation, they only thought he was a fourth-grade official, nothing more than that!
"What kind of thing is Dali Temple!? Dare you interfere in the affairs of our Duke of Ying's Mansion!?"
Yang Qingyuan's expression was slightly cold. He didn't expect there to be such rampant people in the capital!
Immediately, Yang Qingyuan fired his sword energy and slashed horizontally with his sword, creating a horizontal ditch three feet long and five feet wide in front of the group of people.
"Shut up!"
At the same time, he shouted loudly and reprimanded several servants of the Duke of Ying's mansion.
A figure came galloping from a distance.
The servants of Duke Ying's Mansion saw this and immediately saluted, "See you, Sir!"
The person who came was none other than Feng Qian, the grandson of Feng Wuyi, Duke of Ying.
"Who gave you the courage to say such words that despise the dignity of the law?! The reputation of our Duke of Ying was ruined by you slaves who take advantage of others' power!"
While speaking, Feng Qian kicked the leader, grabbed the token of Dali Temple from his hand, and then walked to Yang Qingyuan.
"Master Yang, we meet again!"
When others gave him face, Yang Qingyuan naturally returned the favor.
"Why did the young master come here!?"
"Oh, the Wanli Casino here is also one of my properties. I heard about the fire last night, so I rushed here to check the damage."
Feng Qian opened the folding fan and continued, "I just entered the city. I first visited the Wannian County Magistrate. That's why I allowed these servants to act recklessly and speak arrogantly. Master Yang does not have to worry about it. He will be punished if he deserves it." , If you want to kill, kill!"
Unlike the arrogance of several domestic servants, Feng Qian's attitude was very low-key!
