On this day, Xia Xue and Ouyang brothers and sisters in disguise came to Pucheng County, Fujian, and heard that the county magistrate here is named Di Renjie, who is a talented, honest and honest official, who is good at cracking down on crimes, punishing corruption, and being good at solving cases.

"Di Renjie, isn't this the "Sherlock Holmes" and Detective Di Gong who was known as the East in later generations? Xia Xue secretly sighed in her heart, if it was really Detective Di Renjie, then it seems that the "butterfly effect" caused by her crossing still had a lot of impact on history, according to the history books, Di Renjie should not be born in a few years now.

I heard that Di Renjie just arrived in Pucheng County, and there is a very large backlog of cases. He devoted himself to his work, worked day and night, and fought for a whole year, and cleared all the backlog of cases, involving as many as 17,000 people, and there was no one to complain about injustice afterwards. The quantity and quality were so good that they were rumored to be good stories at the time.

"It's really a genius in judging cases, the Angel Kingdom currently needs a good official like Di Renjie who is both honest and capable, if it is really the historical detective Di Renjie, I must promote him well, so that he can make greater contributions to the rule of law, fairness and justice, prosperity and stability of the Angel Country." Xia Xue decided to conduct a detailed secret investigation of Di Renjie, if he was really a fair and honest official as the people said, then he decided to entrust Di Renjie with a heavy responsibility.

After chatting with the local people, Xia Xue learned many anecdotes about Di Renjie's case-solving and case-solving, and couldn't help but secretly admire that there was such a smart person in ancient times, what a genius detective.

It is said that there was a major theft case in Pucheng County, Fujian.

Di Renjie, the magistrate of the county, detained several suspects, and after repeated interrogations, it was still difficult to confirm who the real culprits were.

Di Renjie thought about it and said to the suspect: "There is an ancient bell in the Fugai Temple in this county, which can distinguish between guilt and innocence, which is very effective. ”

He immediately sent someone to solemnly welcome the bell into the back pavilion and worship it.

One day, he brought the suspects into the back cabinet and ordered them to stand respectfully in front of the bell.

Di Renjie said: "Which of you is the real thief, you only need to touch the clock, you can tell clearly. If you are not a thief, the hand will not ring the bell, but if you are a thief, the bell will make a sound when you touch it. ”

After that, he led all his subordinates to pray to the bell and ask for a manifestation, and the atmosphere was very serious.

After the sacrifice, he asked the officials to use a curtain to enclose the bell, and then asked the suspects to reach into the curtain one by one to touch the bell, and check one after another.

It turned out that he secretly asked someone to apply a layer of black ink to the clock, but only one person had no ink on his hands, and the rest of the people had a black layer on their hands.

Di Renjie interrogated the man who had no ink on his hand, and after interrogation, the thief immediately admitted the facts of the crime, this person was indeed a real thief, this person was a thief, and he was afraid of touching the bell, so he stretched out his hand and retracted it without daring to touch the bell.

"To be able to use the criminal's thief's weak heart and superstitious psychology to skillfully solve the case, which is in the environment of general superstition and ignorance in ancient times, it is really a genius to think of this." Xia Xue heard this story in later generations and remembered that it happened in the Song Dynasty more than 300 years later, but Di Renjie actually took advantage of the suspect's psychology of being a thief more than 300 years in advance to successfully solve the case.

Hearing about the cases solved by Di Renjie, Xia Xue was impressed by a few cases. For example, the "Iron Nail Case": a male owner suddenly died in bed, and his wife reported the crime. After Di Renjie went to investigate, he found that his wife was wearing heavy filial piety, crying constantly, although the words in her mouth were sad and sad, but her eyes were not red and swollen, and she couldn't help but be suspicious.

An examination of the body of the deceased revealed that it was quite robust, not like a dead person. However, there was not a trace of wounds on the deceased's body. A silver needle was used to probe the throat, and there was no sign of poisoning. Moreover, the deceased's complexion was normal, and it did not seem to have died of poisoning.

Untie the deceased's hair bun and find that there are no wounds on the deceased's head. However, when the deceased's mouth was pried open, he smelled a smell of alcohol. His wife said that her husband had abdominal pain last night and thought it was a cold, so she poured him a bowl of wine to warm his stomach. When Di Renjie heard it, he also said it reasonably.

However, he always felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly had an idea, and carefully examined the nostrils of the deceased, and found that there was an iron nail three inches long deep in the nostrils. When his wife found out that the matter was exposed, she finally had to honestly confess her crimes.

It turned out that she had committed adultery with someone, and she thought that her husband was an eyesore, so she drunk her husband with wine, and then the adulterer drove a nail through her husband's nostrils and murdered him alive. Then he scrubbed away the blood that had flowed out, so that there was not a trace of it from the surface of the corpse.

Di Renjie quickly arrested his adulterer, and a pair of dog men and women were finally severely punished by the law.

From this "iron nail case", we can see Di Renjie's meticulous and extraordinary observation.

There is also the "cranial irrigation case": a woman cried to Di Renjie that her husband was wrongfully killed by Zhang Yuanwai, and begged Di Renjie to avenge him. It turned out that the woman's husband's name was Gao Ping, who was a showman, and four years ago, he was hired by that Zhang Yuan to teach his only son to read and write. Unexpectedly, the child was so stubborn that he fell into the pond and drowned. Zhang Yuanwai then made a false accusation, saying that his husband strangled the child to death and then pushed him into the water, so he twisted him to the county office. The former magistrate did not ask about it, and convicted his husband of deliberate murder and was beheaded for public display.

The woman felt that her husband had been wrongfully killed, and that his husband was kind by nature, so how could he strangle the child. After hearing this, Di Renjie also felt that there was something strange about the case.

Although the case has long been closed, it is difficult to verify that it is difficult to verify that it is necessary to overturn the retrial, and it is several years ago. However, Di Renjie, who has a strong sense of responsibility, did not shy away from difficulties, and he led people to the cemetery where Zhang Yuanwai's family buried his son. The skull of Zhang's son was removed from the coffin and wiped clean with boiling white vinegar.

Place the clean skull in a white porcelain basin and place it on a piece of bluestone next to it. Then, he took a thin-necked porcelain gall bottle and filled it with water. Then let everyone see. Di Renjie said to Zhang Yuanwai, who was full of anger: "Whether your son was strangled to death in the water, or whether he accidentally fell into the water and drowned, you can see it immediately." ”

I saw Di Renjie carefully pour the water in the gallbladder bottle into the gap in the top door of the skull, and after a while, the water slowly flowed out from the seven orifices of the skull.

Di Renjie pointed to the water flowing out of the nose and said: "Everyone, please see, in the water flow of the nose hole, there are fine sand and mud chips, which clearly settle at the bottom of the white porcelain basin, think about it, why is this?" ”

The official was stunned and asked again and again, "My lord, where does this mud and sand come from?" ”

Di Renjie smiled slightly, and continued: "Everyone, this child is definitely not thrown into the water after being strangled to death by Gao Ping. And those who fell into the water before their death stirred the sediment at the bottom of the water and entered through their noses. Once the sediment is choked, it cannot come out. After many years, all the contents of the skull decayed, but the sediment remained. Therefore, just now I used the method of skull irrigation to detect the presence of sediment in the skull, which shows that this child entered the water alive, and was strangled to death by Gao Ping and thrown into the water. ”

The officials suddenly realized and nodded again and again. The rest of the crowd were also impressed, the meticulous analysis, and the ingenious cranial irrigation method were indeed breathtaking.

And Zhang Yuanwai couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Di Renjie finally cleared the grievances of the woman's dead husband Xue.

Through this "skull irrigation method" to solve the mystery case many years ago, it can be seen that Di Renjie's meticulous observation and reasoning ability, as well as a high sense of responsibility.

There are others, such as using the footprints left by the murderer to solve the case, such as using other evidence accidentally left by the murderer to solve the case, etc., all of which can be seen Di Renjie's meticulous observation and outstanding ability to solve the case.
