Even the three judicial divisions cannot guarantee that every case can be solved smoothly. In fact, excluding the cases of being beaten into a crime, unjust, false and wrongly convicted, the actual case detection rate is not that high - especially since the road guide system has gradually become a piece of paper. Later, large-scale population movements also had a considerable impact.
Although the three giants Li Zhanchun, Tu Xifeng and Fu Zizhan have different opinions, as the leaders of the Three Law Divisions, they have to reach a consensus on one thing - the most difficult mystery in the world is not due to a specific reason. Premeditation based on purpose is just a question that makes no sense.
The remains of the body exposed in the wilderness were finally eaten by wild beasts. Even the identity of the deceased could not be confirmed. How to solve it? When they meet on a narrow road and look the other way, they kill each other. Where is the motive? Even if someone commits a murder on the street, as long as the person reacts quickly enough and is skilled enough, he will flee all the way to the mountains and forests before being arrested. From then on, he will be a lonely ghost. How to catch him?
There are traces of the training and examination content of the Three Law Divisions, but it is obvious that real cases often contain a lot of illogical content.
Therefore, the possibility full of random factors can only be regarded as a challenge for He Nan to train his thinking, but it cannot be regarded as a priority option in practice.
Now the whole group of people in the inn relies on the proprietress Ye Ci to take charge of the overall situation, and if she can cooperate with his investigation, then the rest of the people will gradually obey under such inertia, so the guy pretending to be a guard from the Junbing Guard will first The roll call needs to be preceded by a conversation with the lady.
He Nan did not use the conventional "What did you do last night, what did you see?"
"Who is this person?" He started with an inquiring tone, but instead used a trick to lead these people to doubt each other with gradual hints: "I want to hear your impressions of the other people in the inn."
There is indeed a risk in doing so, as it will aggravate some people's aversion to this conversation and lead to a lack of information. However, at the same time, the cross-testimonies heard from others are more worthy of analysis than those spoken by the person themselves - note, not more worthy. To gain trust, this will also highlight the murderer's behavior of directing suspicion to others.
Ye Ci always had a hint of sadness on her face. She was just about to take the initiative to say something to He Nan, but was caught off guard by this guy's question. After waiting for a moment, she could organize her words, but a leader Some uncertain questions: "You mean... you want to know about the situation of other people in the inn through me?"
"That's right." He Nan nodded, folding his hands on the table, waiting for Ye Ci's explanation.
The woman calmed down and finally said: "Okay..."
Mr. Jin, who is in charge of the accounts, is forty-three this year and is relatively tactful. He has been working with Wang Qianhun for a long time, and all the cashiers in the inn are handled by him, including Wang Qianhun's other businesses, and he will also check the accounts. However, he is a bit greedy for money, and he will occasionally make mistakes in the accounts. Taking advantage of the opportunity to get some kickbacks, Wang Qianhun thought that he had worked hard with her for so many years and had achieved great results, so he usually turned a blind eye, but he didn't use it again, so he stayed at the Pier Inn all these years - besides , this Mr. Jin is also a bit lecherous. He often takes advantage of the fact that the shopkeeper is not in Tuoshadian and has an excuse to be alone with the proprietress Ye Ci.
at.
The second boy in the shop is the waiter with a bad temper. He is in his twenties, has a combative temperament, and can't get close to three or five people in fights. He was originally a gangster from a nearby town, but was later recruited to his side by Wang Qianhun. He works in the inn. He is said to be a waiter responsible for entertaining guests, but how can this person's temperament allow him to entertain guests honestly? In fact, he was more like the thug that Shopkeeper Wang stayed at the inn to watch the show. The gangsters in the Tuoshadian area also called him Big Brother, just like Wang Qianhun in his youth.
The handyman Xiao Hu is twenty-two years old this year. He is very shy and has the lowest sense of presence in the inn. He is always busy doing things. He was the son of an old friend who made his fortune with Wang Qianhun in Tuoshadian. His father entrusted him to Wang Qianhun and later passed away. Shopkeeper Wang arranged for Xiao Hu to help in the inn, and now he has five or six It has been a year, and Xiao Hu is a child who works hard and makes the inn look brand new every day. Anyone who is too busy can come in and help. The only shortcoming is that he is too taciturn.
The cook, Yu Bo, nicknamed "Yu Laizi", was thirty-one years old, honest, tall and fat. he is
The nephew of Wang Qianhun's wife, because of a disease when he was young, his right leg was not very sharp. Because he was not very smart and physically disabled, he never got married. Fortunately, he had a cooking skill, so Wang Qianhun Qianhun's wife introduced him to the inn, but he actually has a pretty easy-going personality.
"As for my son... he is actually a very smart child. He is strong in both studying and practicing martial arts. But when I asked him to take the examination for scholar or take the martial arts examination, he was unwilling to take it.
, I didn’t want to do business with an official, so I had no choice but to let him stay with me to take care of the inn. My son has a slightly weird personality. If his words may offend the official later, please forgive him. Forgive me. "
He Nan did not agree immediately, but took advantage of this and asked with great interest: "Weird? What kind of weird method is it? Could it be that he is the kind of person with weird emotions? I have heard of one before. A strange case, a son stabbed his father because he had an unusual attachment to his mother..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Ci opened his eyes and said, half angry and half doubtful: "What did you say, sir? Is there any son in the world who wants to harm his father?"
Haha, then you are really ignorant... He Nan couldn't help complaining in his heart, Huangfu Rang was not his biological son, and the two brothers from the Qi family were his biological sons. Meeting his father was like meeting his enemy - in fact, it was the part about Guan Lingxiao. It's a secret that no one knows, otherwise he wouldn't be able to escape.
However, He Nan also knew that he had made a mistake with his words, so he immediately said: "I offended Madam by a mistake in my words, please don't be offended - go on."
"That kid is a little cynical, which is why he doesn't want to take the exam." Ye Ci finally felt that the young official in front of him was easy to talk to, so he responded.
"It's easy to say, in fact, not many people are willing to deal with us errands." He Nan nodded: "As for the situation about Shopkeeper Wang and his wife, as well as your relationship with Shopkeeper Wang, please tell the truth, Madam. .”
Wang Qianhun's first wife came from the village when he was still working as a porter in his early years.
The matchmaker there arranged a match. Later, Wang Qianhun occupied the dock to do business of collecting protection fees and gave birth to a daughter for him. But how can a person in this business live a stable life for a few days? During the three ups and downs of Wang Qianhun's show of power and ruthlessness, his daughter was also killed by his enemies, which made him always feel that he was indebted to his wife. Later, he obeyed her in all family matters, even after the birth of his eldest son.
Wang Qianhun's acceptance of Ye Ci as his concubine is another matter. Ye Ci was considered a lady at first. Although she was not from a famous family, her ancestors had several successful candidates. However, after her father passed away and her family had enmity with local officials, she moved her family to this county. At that time, Wang Qianhun was A group of young people became famous for a while, and the uncle promised Ye Ci to Wang Qianhun as his concubine in order to have someone to rely on in his new home. The relationship between the two was okay, but Wang Qianhun's first wife was disgusted with Ye Ci. In order to avoid the criticism, Ye Ci took the initiative to move to Tuosha Dian to run the wharf business that was gradually losing focus for Wang Qianhun, which could be regarded as a sign of dissatisfaction. The main wife's attitude is to grab status and property.
"Then do you think that Yu Bo is the person sent by the eldest lady to monitor you?" He Nan is actually curious about these family affairs - Qi Dan once chatted about the competition between concubines in the palace, so Call one an eye-opener.
"Maybe, but I don't care, and Xiaobo is quite kind," Ye Ci said.
Having almost heard what he wanted to hear from the wife of the side house, He Nan politely invited the person out and asked "your son to come and talk."
And Wang Guangdi did not live up to the psychological foreshadowing his mother gave He Nan. Indeed,
He was a difficult boy to handle. He Nan asked him, "What do you think of the people around the inn?" and the young man responded unceremoniously: "What? You officials are now resorting to sowing discord in order to quickly close the case?"
"Young man, you still have to be careful." He Nan never gets annoyed when others offend him, and he said: "That means I am sensible, otherwise if it had been anyone else, you, the kid, would have been labeled the number one suspect by now. "
"I think you are younger than me, right?" Wang Guangdi looked at He Nan, seeming to still have doubts about his identity: "I have heard about the power of the Junbing Guard, but
I never knew someone as young as you could be a guard. "
In fact, this was because Wang Guangdi was ignorant in the small Tuoshadian. The Shanhe Prefecture and the Junbingwei were at the same level. He Nan was promoted to full-time by Li Zhanchun but he was only eighteen years old - of course, He Nan was not as good as He Nan. There are many people who have reached higher positions even when they are still young. Even excluding those who have been educated for a long time, his third senior brother Ye Zheng is truly a living legend.
"What? Why don't you test me? Is it the laws of the Sheng Kingdom, the Nine Chapters and Six Courses, or the Four Books and Five Classics?" He Nan didn't have a formal appearance, but he wanted to kill Wang Guangdi's spirit and teach him what it means to have a sky outside the sky. .
So the two spent about half a quarter of an hour asking each other questions, but they were evenly matched in reciting scriptures - He Nan was also a genius at Shanhe Academy after all. Even though rote memorization was not his specialty, here It is really impressive that a self-taught young man from the valley has such ability.
"Okay, don't argue with me anymore, I've seen
Show that you are not one of those freeloaders. Wang Guangdi spread his hands and stopped fighting: "Just ask where you want to start!"
