The methods of the Fourth Department are becoming more and more mature. Wang Jian always smiles when he talks about it. With the continuous improvement and in-depth exploration of the case file library, a lot of intelligence can be quickly deduced and derived after being collected, making effective decisions for specific investigations and infiltration operations. auxiliary.
For example, this time, according to the analysis of the four departments, Qin Xiuyuan himself did not just stop at eating sweets, but also did some research. It is said that he has very high requirements for fragrance, and he will not take it if it does not suit his preference or there is a deviation in the preparation. So Qin Xiuyuan has been buying from the same candy shop all the time, and he never pretends to be someone else but goes to the store to inspect the goods in person.
In this way, things will have the first sieve, which will filter out many detailed speculations. One of the key points is: since Qin Xiuyuan bought and inspected the gum himself, and he himself is relatively knowledgeable about gum, how could the person who killed him have deceived him if he really relied on gum? Woolen cloth?
Shen Hao's thoughts were the same as those analyzed by the four departments: Either Qin Xiuyuan lost the judgment he should have when he took the poison, such as having problems with his sense of taste and smell. Or he couldn't tell the difference and ate it by mistake.
The situation of the autopsy was mentioned in the "preliminary volume" that Shen Hao wanted to return before. Although it was rough, the general condition of the corpse was briefly mentioned, and Qin Xiuyuan's sense of smell was not mentioned. What are the problems with taste.
Of course, the autopsy methods in this world lag far behind those in the other world, but this autopsy situation can also be used as some reference. In addition, the eyeliner did not receive any words, including rumors, that were harmful to Qin Xiuyuan's sense of taste and smell. Basically, we can rule out the possibility that Qin Xiuyuan accidentally ate it due to his lack of judgment.
In the latter case, "the inability to tell whether the gum is real or fake" is the most likely cause of death.
Shen Hao has never studied gum, and he doesn't even eat it. But he can compare the chewing gum to the "wine" that he likes and has done some research on. Just imagine if someone wants to use a pot of fake wine to deceive him and succeeds, then the pot of wine must not only be "fake wine", but also must be It's "good wine".
It seems contradictory, but it is true. If you want to deceive experts, you must use 90% of the truth as a cover and leave 10% of the fake stuff mixed in. Otherwise it would be impossible to succeed.
So what Shen Hao now has the spies scattered around the imperial city keeping an eye on is a candy shop called "Jin Fengyuan". Before Qin Xiuyuan died, he had been buying gum from this shop all year round. Moreover, this shop is very famous in the candy circle in the imperial city, and many dignitaries buy candy from them.
Keep an eye on the shop, and even follow the shop to find the sugar-making workshop. Each family has its own recipe for this stuff, which is "confidential" and is usually located in a village outside the city. These are not difficult to check, but it takes time to glean useful information.
It's just that Shen Hao definitely doesn't have so much time to spend on this case. He needs to open a breakthrough as soon as possible. Moreover, he has determined that Qin Xiuyuan's death can definitely find a breakthrough from Xiangtang, and the murderer behind it is definitely related to the Qin family themselves.
So an order came to Wang Jian, and then to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao controls the final part of the Blackwater Project, which is the "Department of Impermanence". It is mainly implemented based on the intelligence collected and analyzed by the other three departments.
This time, the Impermanence Department was personally led by Zhang Liao. A total of six people came to the imperial city in batches over two days. Combined with the intelligence from the informants, they conducted a series of surveys of the shops and workshops of "Jin Fengyuan", and finally formulated a plan for infiltration. plan.
No matter how famous "Jin Fengyuan" is, it is just a private shop. Including the workshop, although there are many servants and warriors for defense, and some magic circles as a means of warning, it is compared to Wu Chang who has been trained for a long time to "infiltrate into various targets". Basically, there is no difficulty.
Sneaking into shops and workshops is not to make money, but to print ledgers. Whether it is the entry and exit of materials in the workshop or the entry and exit of finished products in the store, as long as it is written down by "Jin Fengyuan" as a record, it is Zhang Liao's task.
It took a group of six people two full nights to complete this mission, and what they brought back was a rubbing text that was three feet thick.
There is no need for Shen Hao to screen and review the texts one by one. Naturally, the four departments under Wang Jian can handle it.
The fourth department will screen out the information they think may have problems overnight and then feed it back to the Department of Impermanence for secondary screening and investigation. The results of the second screening will then continue to provide evidence for the analysis of the other three departments. Finally, this iteration can form the final intelligence note.
Shen Hao received a brief message from Wang Jian using Qianli Note, one of which confirmed Shen Hao's suspicion all along. The details will be sent to the Imperial City in the form of copper bars for Shen Hao to review later.
There are no problems with the store accounts of "Jin Fengyuan", or there are no problems like what Shen Hao is looking for. There are no problems with the material entry and exit records in the "Jinfengyuan" sugar workshop. The "problem" is caused by a sugar-making master in the workshop who earns a very high monthly salary.
The reason why this person came into the spotlight of the Fourth Department screening was because he frequently extracted sugar-making materials from the material warehouse of the sugar workshop some time ago, but the quantity of finished products put into the warehouse each time was somewhat different from his previous sugar-making efficiency. .
If an old sugar-making master suddenly makes a mistake, no one in the workshop will have any objections, and even if they do, they won't say anything immediately. But was the timing of this person's "miss" too coincidental for the screening of Part 4? It happened to be a few days before Qin Xiuyuan's accident.
So I asked the Ministry of Impermanence to investigate the sugar master. Although he was found, he was lying in the mourning hall, having died only two days ago. It was said that he accidentally drowned when he fell into a pond while walking drunk at night.
died? Even the most careless person will feel something is wrong when two coincidences overlap. The death of this sugar master was so strange.
Then the task of digging deeper fell on Zhang Liao and others. However, if you are unfamiliar with the place and want to dig into this kind of information, you will definitely not be able to do it in a day or two, and you still cannot rush the necessary time.
Fortunately, Shen Hao was hiding now and successfully blocked the Shou Wang and the Major Case Department of the Ministry of Punishment in front of others, so there was still time to spare. At the very least, he judged that it would take three to five days for Xue Gui and others to figure out the progress of the situation that he now grasped. If there were any changes in the meantime, it would definitely take longer.
"Prepare the car and go to the Criminal Department. It's time for me to urge Xue. Otherwise he should be suspicious." Shen Hao smiled and joked with Wang Yiming. The latter was about to prepare the car but unexpectedly a Jingxi police officer The small flag officer of the yamen ran over.
"Is something wrong?" Wang Yiming greeted him.
"Sir, this is the post I just handed over to Master Shen."
