Zhang Haojie, a servant, bought breakfast, pancakes and bean curd, everyone had it, and some people in the Wei Mansion began to eat, and some people endured the hunger in their stomachs and did not want to eat. There were dozens of people gathered outside the Wei Mansion, and they opened it early in the morning, Li Guolou stood behind the door panel and eavesdropped, he never thought that people's imagination would be so rich, and the ending he thought of, the people outside had the answer.

After listening to it for a while, Li Guolou had an answer, it turned out that even he was not a good person, and the thief shouted to catch the thief, and it was Xiao Lizi who blamed the Axe Gang. Some people saw Xiao Lizi lifting a big living person of about 200 catties, and some people saw Xiao Lizi climbing over a high wall.

Li Guolou really wanted to rush out of the door and debate with Big Mouth, but his shoulder was patted by Ai Hai.

Ai Hai smiled and said: "Don't try to escape, suspect, you are not a good person, the people who are still messing around on the street in the middle of the night are snitches and flower thieves, don't tell me that you are a watchman, I can expose you immediately." ”

Li Guolou smiled bitterly and said, "Is it easy for me?" I didn't sleep all night, and I was supposed to take the waist card today, but now it's okay, stay with the family of the dead. If we can't leave, we can't do anything, so we will dry up and consume it, and we won't touch anything? ”

Ai Hai looked at Li Guolou's outfit, pursed his lips, and said, "You ran to the yamen like this, we thought it was a fake foreign devil to make trouble." You tell me the truth, you really went abroad to study. I still made some money as a coolie in Nanyang, and came back to sell a petty official. Look at your virtue, let you go to collect protection money, and be knocked out of your big teeth and come back. ”

Li Guolou said: "To be honest, I don't like to wear silk jackets, I can't move around, and I get dirty when I get it." As for the Tsing Yi coat you are wearing, it looks quite imposing, but I haven't received one yet. I really don't like this hat, and I always feel like it's an eyesore when I walk and sway. ”

Ai Hai replied: "I don't like this hat either, but it comes in handy on a rainy day, and the big head doesn't have to worry about the rain, that is, us." Hey······ Xiao Lizi, you are quite good at detours, I asked you a question, but you didn't answer a word, but put my words on it. To give you a word of advice, when you go to the Yamen, you will give Master Wu a meeting gift, your set of outfits, he sent you, if you want to wear a green coat that is not moldy, and a hat without holes, you will be filial to the chief. Our chief Bao has ten masters, each of whom is in charge of different territories, some of them can't be offended, and some of them don't pay attention to him, you will have trouble if you send red envelopes indiscriminately. Got it? ”

Li Guolou looked at Ai Hai's outstretched hand, knowing that the old-timers wanted to teach him to be a man, of course, the first step was to give red envelopes. Li Guolou caught Lao Qian last night and divided some broken silver, which is just in handy now. He handed over a piece of broken silver but did not react, Ai Hai's palm was still open, Li Guolou added another piece, and his right hand personally held Ai Hai's hand tightly. Let Ai Hai not be greedy, no matter how insatiable he is, it will hurt his brother's feelings.

sighed: "Brother Ai, come to Japan, give the chief a face." I heard that the chief is here, and it is his subordinates who pay homage, why did you do the rules wrong? ”

Ai Hai smiled, stretched out his hand back, and said, "That's right, if you are my chief, I will send filial piety." But the rules of entering the door can't be broken, you want to know the rules, and you have to follow the rules. Everyone is courteous, be a responsible person, and be kind, this is the favorite sentence of Mr. Bao. We can't make a fortune in this errand, and we can't starve to death. Compared with other yamen in the capital, it is quite good. This time the Wei family is going to suffer, they are a rich family, and Lord Bao is going to make a fortune. I worked hard all night, and I did my duty, and Lord Bao will not treat us badly at that time. Do you understand this? Your broken silver is rewarded. ”

Li Guolou exclaimed: "Ah! The Wei family is dead, and they have to break their fortunes, where does this rule come from, there is no reason. ”

"Shhh······hh Ai Hai rolled his eyes and glared angrily: "Little Lizi, give me a whisper, which business is not relying on the mountains now, and we are not the ones who let the Wei family die." We caught the murderer, and the Wei family was comforted and did not show it. Otherwise, this official matter will not be sentenced by Lord Bao, and it will still be doubtful to drag it out until next autumn. If there are some changes in the emperor's family, and the world is relieved, the Wei family will not be able to get anything, and there will be endless troubles. This is also a rule, Master Wu will come forward to talk to the grandmother, we just need to do our own work. ”

Li Guolou asked, "Brother Ai, what if someone from the Wei family colludes with Man Youli?" ”

Ai Haidao: "We are not robbers, we will ruin people's families." There are rules for everything, and there will be no messing around. Could it be that if we swallow the treasure Xuan, who will come to fight the official affairs in the future? It's like collecting protection money, and who can't afford to pay that amount. This is the root of the imperial city, there is no big embezzler, if the great eunuch An Dehai chews the root of his tongue in the emperor, don't we Bao Daren find death by himself? Full of harmony, harmony makes money, understand? Mallet. ”

Li Guolou asked, "According to what you say, the Axe Gang also wants to give gifts?" ”

Ai Hai said dissatisfiedly: "Saying that your mallet is a mallet, if the three words of the axe gang fall in the pen case and show it to the people above, who will benefit?" Han Da is afraid that he has already gone to the yamen to inquire about the news, and Yao Cuo is praising you in his stomach that you are a little lucky star. not only caught Lao Qian for him, but also let him make a big profit, and he will take you with him if there is a case in the future. As for who you offended, I won't say anything about you being so smart. ”

Ai Hai laughed a few times, walked away, and went to meet a carriage at the door, Wan Qizuo jumped off the carriage with two apprentices, Wan Nianqing, who was in his fifties, was vigorous, and the first thing he saw was Li Guolou, the two met for the first time in their lives, and they looked at each other a little unpleasantly.

In the courtyard, Ai Hai told Wan Nianqing about the case, but Wan Nianqing just nodded and listened, and did not say much.

After Ai Hai finished speaking, Wan Nianqing asked, "Has anyone seen the scene of the crime?" ”

Ai Haidao: "Ma Dequan and I looked at the corpse and didn't get close. This newcomer Li Guolou, he has seen the scene, but he has not touched the body, and Xu Xiaohu, the deputy head of the Wei Mansion, has taken the pulse of the dead Wei Wenshao, and everyone else said that he has not approached the corpse. ”

Wan Nian Qingli ignored Li Guolou, swept Li Guolou's face without a hesitation, put on gloves and masks, and stepped into the south room with tools on his back.

Li Guolou didn't want to be cheeky, no matter how many people made a stinky face to him, he also followed up with Nanfang. Another apprentice shouted, "You! Do not approach the scene. ”

Li Guolou nodded and smiled: "I'll take a look in the living room to ensure that I don't touch the footprints." You're busy, I won't bother you. ”

Fang Zuo Xingxing is in his early twenties, originally a grave digger in the cemetery, and he sees his current job as sacred, glaring at Li Guolou viciously, hating Li Guolou for destroying the scene, in the eyes of the three servants, Li Guolou is a superfluous person, making a mess of the scene, that is, Li Guolou does not know the severity of the matter, and steps on the ground one by one bloody footprints.

Seeing Fang Xingxing, using rice paper to expand the bloody footprints on the ground, Li Guolou said embarrassedly: "Brother Fang, these are my footprints." ”

Fang Xingxing didn't raise his head, and said angrily: "I know this, you don't have to talk much." ”

Li Guolou stretched his neck and looked at the door of the bedroom, but heard Wan Nianqing shout angrily: "Who has touched the corpse." Which plague god lied, tell me the truth. ”

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Guolou confessed: "I moved it a little, I didn't touch the knife, it was originally inserted to the end, regardless of my business." ”

Wan Nianqing glanced at Li Guolou and said: "You are not honest, you are very dishonest, I remember you, be careful with me, I will make him stink for the rest of my life." ”

Ma Dequan approached and said in a low voice: "Little Lizi, don't offend Wan Nianqing, he will get the corpse stench on you, where are you going to take a bath in the middle of the day." ”

Li Guolou shuddered and looked at the three servants in horror. I didn't expect him to commit a taboo, the dog took the mouse to meddle in his affairs, and did other people's work, like killing his parents, and before these two feet stepped into the yamen, there was an enemy. He wanted to learn to inspect the scene, but he didn't expect that in the yamen, the division of labor was clear, and each performed its own duties. What he did was not praised, Wan Nianqing did not ask him a word, he was already treated as air.

Li Guolou only pretended to be a grandson, bowed his head and put a hippie smile on it, he was naturally cheeky, people showed him a stinky face, and he could turn a blind eye. As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Wan Nianqing's face was much better, and he glanced at Li Guolou with white eyes, no longer embarrassed by Li Guolou's ignorance.

Li Guolou glanced at Ai Hai, Ai Hai understood and said, "Master Wan, what did you find?" ”

Wan Nianqing still lowered his head to examine the corpse of the deceased, and said: "From the scene, it seems that the deceased was cut into the heart by a sharp knife, and there were no other wounds. The murderer was very powerful, a fatal knife This person was ruthless, and he did not leave too many traces at the scene, but these bloody footprints should have been left by the murderer. The other few are the footprints left by Xiao Lizi, and there are a few suspicious footprints, which should be the bloody footprints stepped on by the people in the Wei Mansion who accidentally touched on others. As for the murderers, it's hard to say, and it is possible that there are bloody footprints that were not left by the murderer. ”

Ai Hai asked, "Master Wan, why is this?" ”

Wan Nianqing pointed to the knife pulled out of the corpse and said, "Because the murderer didn't pull out the murder weapon, he stabbed the deceased in the chest and immediately pulled away. But there was a bloody blade on the sharp knife of the cow, and when the knife was inserted into the body of the deceased, blood gushed out from the blade, and the murderer's hands and body must have been stained with blood. So footprints are secondary, and the real evidence is the hands and clothes. You beat the eighth master to the point that his face was bleeding, his clothes were covered with blood, his clothes were covered with blood, and I didn't know how to write that report? This case can be made into an iron case, and no one can turn it over. As for whether Man Baye has an accomplice, judging from the scene, I can't tell it, because the corpse has not moved since the moment it was killed, only Xiao Lizi turned it over once, which is quite complete. ”

Li Guolou's most concerned question was not touched, he really couldn't bear it, and asked, "Master Wan, how long do you think the deceased has been dead?" ”

Wan Nianqing looked at the deceased's eyelids and touched the deceased's body for a long time, and finally said: "I can guarantee that the deceased's death time will not exceed three hours, that is, six hours. Xiao Lizi this time you took shit luck and caught the murderer. How much oil and water can we squeeze out of the eight suspects out there? It depends on the means of Lord Bao. ”

watched a few catchers and pretend to snicker together. Li Guolou knew in his heart that Wan Nianqing meant that he wanted to bring all the eight people from the Wei Mansion back to the Yamen, interrogate them again, and let them suffer a little hardship for a day before letting them go.
