The reason why Xiao Yuan was angry was because the laws of the Qin State were strict, and someone dared to commit murder in the capital, and more than ten people were killed in one shot, this is at the feet of the king!

And after his royal decree reached the Wuwei Mansion, Ye Cheng immediately panicked.

In this case, judging from the scene, there were no clues at all, because no one identified the body, and there was no ID card at that time, and the Wuwei Mansion did not know the identity of the deceased at all.

If you know, you can also find out who the deceased has a grudge with, starting from this aspect.

But now, it's foggy.

And in the Qin State, there are so many counties, counties, towns, and even villages, who knows where these dead people came from.

In the Wuwei Mansion, Ye Cheng was frowning and pacing back and forth anxiously.

On either side below, there stood a cadre of officers, all staring at him with wide eyes.

"Any clues?" He stopped and glanced at the officers.

The people looked at each other, but they didn't answer.

"Alas!" Ye Cheng was also clueless, and after sighing, he couldn't help but say: "Three days, Wuwei Mansion only has three days, if you fail to solve the case, the king will definitely be angry, and at that time, this official will be in danger!" And so it is! ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and asked with a glare: "Where is Qi Ying!" Such a big case, where did the others go! ”

"This," the officers looked at each other again.

Ye Cheng was just about to get angry, but at this moment, Qi Ying walked in quickly, clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, I just came back from Liyang, and I heard that a big case happened, I don't know what the situation is now." ”

"Xiao Qi, you came just in time, quickly." Seeing him, Ye Cheng's face finally softened a little, and then, without pausing, he took him to the morgue without pausing.

The bodies of more than a dozen men had been covered with white cloths, and after arriving here, out of professional instinct, Qi Ying couldn't help but step forward and lift a white cloth and began to observe it carefully.

He would pinch the deceased's chin and look left and right, and then he would brush the deceased's hair and examine his scalp

Ye Cheng said on the side: "The thirteen deceased, all of them adult men, after inspection, they were all sealed by sharp blades and killed with one blow. ”

"And so many people died, and no one in the city identified the body, so it can be inferred that it should not be a local."

"Your Excellency is right." Qi Ying nodded in agreement.

Ye Cheng said again: "But the key issue is also here, because the identity of the deceased cannot be determined, so there is no way to start this case, and the king's side has already issued a royal order, within three days, the Wuwei Mansion must solve the case!" Otherwise, under the king's order, you and I will rest. ”

"Three days," Qi Ying muttered.

At this time, he was lifting the palm of a deceased person, squinting and looking closely.

At the same time, he said: "The dead have no power to resist, and from this it can be inferred that none of them have martial arts, and from the calluses on their hands and the clothes on their bodies, it can also be concluded that they are not merchants, but people who have been engaged in agricultural work all year round." ”

"Therefore, it is preliminarily concluded that it is a villager somewhere outside Qinzhou."

After Qi Ying finished speaking, Ye Cheng was shocked and commanded: "Quick!" Go on! ”

The latter was not in a hurry, and began to peel off the cocoon, and at the same time said: "They should have had something on them before, but unfortunately, they were all searched." ”

After some investigation, he had already looked around the corpse, and finally squatted at the feet of the deceased.

At this time, Qi Ying smiled and said with a smile: "The murderer is clean and neat, but it's a pity that he is a hundred secrets." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ye Cheng immediately became nervous: "But what did you find?" ”

"Your Excellency, please take a look." As Qi Ying spoke, he also took off the deceased's shoes, scraped off the dry mud on one side and said, "This kind of sole, the level of Na, have you ever seen it?" ”

"This shouldn't be worn by the people of Qindi." Ye Cheng groaned.

"That's right, this kind of sole level can only be accepted by a peasant woman in Shuzhong." Qi Ying said.

"Oh? In this way, the deceased was a Shuzhong peasant? ”

"That's right."

"But Shuzhong, how big it is, just this clue, still can't lock the identity of the deceased." Ye Cheng said again.

"Adults don't have to worry, the murderer should be in a hurry, knowing the security of Qinzhou, after the killing, he fled in a hurry, and only took away the superficial evidence, in fact, there are many clues to be found."

As he spoke, he carefully examined the dead boy in front of him, then covered it with a white cloth again, and then began to look at it again.

"My lord, please see, the soles of their shoes are almost the same, which means that they should be in the same place, and it is very likely that they will know each other."

The fog had been lifted more and more, as if he was about to see the dawn, Ye Cheng couldn't help but urge again: "Xiao Qi, hurry!" Time is of the essence! ”

"Yes!" Qi Ying responded and began to half-squat down again.

It's just that in the next few corpses, no useful clues were found, but Qi Ying was extremely patient, until after a while, he lifted a white cloth again, and under careful investigation, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Your Excellency, please look!" Qi Ying Zhengse said a word, and Ye Cheng hurriedly came over.

He lifted the deceased's right hand and pointed between his fingernails.

There's something like blue dye that is hard to spot unless you look closely.

Ye Cheng stared at a pair of eyes, and after looking closer, he also asked in a condensed voice: "This is"

"It should be a dye, adults can help." As Ye Cheng spoke, he also took out a white handkerchief from his arms and took out a small blade.

Ye Cheng helped him stabilize the deceased's right hand, and Qi Ying began to carefully scrape out the blue thing from between his fingernails, and then leaned in front of his nose and sniffed.

Seeing this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but ask, "How?" ”

"It's dye, no doubt." Qi Ying said: "From this point, it can be concluded that the deceased must have been in contact with a dyeing workshop somewhere in Shuzhong, and it is very likely that he has done something there, and the dyes are different, it is not difficult to find out which dyeing workshop came from, we can follow this clue and touch it all the way, at that time, as long as the identity of one deceased person is determined, the rest will be determined." ”

"Good!" Ye Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to reach out and pat Qi Ying's shoulder, but the latter hurriedly shrunk the handkerchief in his hand: "Be careful, adult." ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, this thing can't be lost. Ye Cheng hurriedly said.

Qi Ying said again: "The clues are clear, but in three days, the adults still need to enter the palace to ask for a time limit of time, otherwise, when we rush to Shuzhong, the deadline has arrived." ”

"I'll try it." Ye Cheng paused, then looked at Qi Ying and said, "However, you'd better enter the palace with me, it's more convincing for you to explain." ”

When Qi Ying heard this, he said a little nervously: "But, the rank of the lowly official is too low, and I will see the king in this face."

"Huh? It's okay, I'll take you into the palace, remember, don't wear a sword. ”

"Yes! Humble duty understands. ”
