Chapter 68: Peaceful
So in the life-and-death confrontation between the deceased and the murderer, the deceased did not tear any of the murderer's clothes, so what exactly was the deceased's ten fingers stained?
As soon as Luo Gong said that, he immediately crossed out the possibility of the clothes in the jade pickup, and even if the ten fingers were stained with the crumbs of the murderer's clothes, unless the murderer's clothes were special enough to be the only one in the Chu State, it was not to the point where it had to be cleaned.

The same goes for hair.
And the murderer used water to clean, so it can be seen that the things touched by the ten fingers can only be washed with water, and the clothes and hair obviously have to be washed with water.
The shoulders were also clothed, and since there were no torn crumbs, the deceased's hands could not touch the murderer's shoulders wrapped in robes.
Except for the shoulders, only the murderer's face and neck remain, both of which are exposed to the naked body of everyone.
Yu Shi was puzzled: "I don't know what is so special about this murderer's face and neck?" ”
Luo Gong said: "I don't know. ”
It really deserves it.
Yu Shi couldn't help but turn his face away, and rolled his eyes indecently.
Then I heard Luo Gong say: "But this is not a clue." ”
Yu Shi turned his face back and said seriously:
"The murderer deliberately washed off the deceased's ten fingers, in order to remove any information about the murderer left by the deceased, but on the other hand, the murderer's face and neck that the deceased could touch, there must be something special about these two places, and it is still the kind that is easy to leave evidence after being caught."
The neck is simple, there is nothing to delve into.
But the face is different.
The face has facial features, eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, ears, as well as chin, cheeks, forehead, and so many other places.
Scratching the neck or face with your hands can easily scratch the flesh, and the nails will then be stained with the epidermis or blood, and in more serious cases, you may even scratch deeper and more horrific blood, and the nails will be stained with a little meat crumbs.
But these are very ordinary, and there is no way to immediately confirm who the murderer is from that little bit of skin or flesh, and at most look for the suspect based on the scratches.
However, the sea of people is vast, and Zhusha County is not big, but there are tens of thousands of people.
Out of tens of thousands, it's hard to find someone with a scratch on their face or neck.
Moreover, even if there are scratches, it is not enough to mean that they must have been scratched by the deceased, and there are many possibilities that can cause scratches on the face or neck.
In a word, this ordinary assumption is completely impossible, and the murderer's intention to wash away his ten fingers should not be due to this ordinary reason.
So what is the reason?
Luo Gong said: "We can start with people with special conditions on their faces or necks, and check in this direction, and we should be able to find some clues." ”
Yu Shi nodded, and just said that Bing Wei and Liancheng hadn't come back yet, and saw the two of them returning together.
The two entered the Zhengguang Hall, and after each saluting Luo Gong and Yu Shi, Bing Wei said:
"During the tenure of the three magistrates, there was nothing special, no evil things, no good things, it was really mediocre."
In other words, inaction.
This is consistent with the performance records that Luo Gong and Yu Shi saw during the tenure of Chen Huiyao, Fang Shijun, and Lin Chang, there are no six positives and no six evils, which is also related to the fact that the three have not been in office for a long time and their own inaction.
Chan was the first to die, having served less than half a year in office; Fang Shijun was the second deceased and served less than three months in office; Lin Chang was even shorter, but he had only been in office for a month, and he followed in the footsteps of the first two magistrates.
Liancheng said: "The people of Zhusha County do not have a deep understanding of the three magistrates, they can't say good, they can't say bad, when it comes to the magistrates, everyone looks at a loss, they only know that they are the parents of Zhusha County, they don't applaud, and they don't complain or complain." ”
Chen Huiyao has been in office for the longest time, and he has also handled large and small cases, but in the end, Zhusha County is just a small city, and there are no major cases.
Among them are the two largest cases.
First, there was a sales dispute between two merchants in Zhusha County, and as a result, they went to court, asked Chen Huiyao to give him justice, and finally sentenced them to operate together and work together, which can be described as impartial; The second is that the wife of a wealthy businessman found out that her husband had raised an outer room outside, and in a fit of anger, she took advantage of the night to take the house slave directly to her husband's golden house.
When Hui Yushi looked at the files of these two cases, which were the biggest cases, he sneered and said that this Chen Huiyao was a good old man and a bad good person.
Why didn't he think that if the two merchants could not be truly legal, although they had to be harmonious on the surface because of the face of their parents, they would definitely have to fight to the death in secret.
There is also a case of reunion, he let the outer room enter the door, he didn't think that the outer room had a grudge, and the lady of the outer room, since he can take the house slave to almost kill someone, he is not afraid that the outer room will carry into the door as a concubine, it is already like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and die again?
It is the outer chamber that turns grief and anger into strength, and the man's home must become a second battlefield.
As for the useless man who dares to raise an outer room and can't keep his parents and son, he is sandwiched between the lady of the main room and the concubine who is newly carried into the door day and night, and when he is unbearable, sooner or later, he will have to raise a second flower-like, well-behaved, sensible, quiet and gentle outer room outside.
These two cases, on the surface, seem to be judged to be good to me, good to everyone, but if you think about it deeply, there are endless troubles.
At that time, as soon as Yu Shi finished analyzing, he saw that Luo Gong said a word indifferently - if you really have real talent and real learning, you should not be killed.
This is intriguing.
When you think about it, it makes sense.
When Fang Shijun arrived after Chen Huiyao's murder, according to Zhang Gengli, he was ambitious and high-spirited, vowing to bring Chen Huiyao's murderer to justice and be punished by national law.
It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
In the three months that Fang Shijun was in office, because the previous magistrate was killed for no reason, the security of Zhusha County seemed to be better overnight, and for more than two months, he did not receive even a small case, and the entire yamen was so quiet that even a mosquito flew by, and he had to attract the boredom of the officials to chase and kill.
Although there is leisure and ambition, it backfires.
Fang Shijun investigated the murder of Chen Huiyao, and for nearly three months, he did not find any point about the murderer.
However, on a night with a few days left and a full three-month term, Fang Shijun followed in the footsteps of his predecessor Chen Huiyao, the magistrate of the county, and was quietly also cut throat and bloodied, and then put a copper coin with symbolic meaning.
