Chapter Thirty-Seven: Lobbying Officials to Find Strength
Li Mi found the common suspicion of more than a dozen murder cases, which was enough to surprise people, but he didn't expect him to stop, and finally said that these victims were all Japanese criminals, which was simply shocking and endless!
After all, the deceased is the biggest, and it is still more than a dozen families, if there is no conclusive evidence to slander the reputation of the deceased, the matter will be a big deal!
Of course, Li Mi knew the consequences, but he looked around the hall and found that everyone's expressions had changed, and his heart was at ease.
Because the Japanese brought disasters to the coastal people and created huge troubles for the Ming court, both the government and the opposition were united in hatred of the enemy, and they hated the Japanese invaders!
If it can really be proved that these people are the work of the Japanese Invaders, even if it is confirmed that the Zhang family really participated in the assassination, she will not be a big devil, but a big hero!
This is also a matter determined by the social form, later generations are a society governed by law, but in ancient times, it was a society ruled by man, and the royal law represented the interests of the royal or ruling class.
Later generations talked about the law, that is, iron-faced selflessness, how the law should be judged, but in ancient times, in addition to the law, but also the law of human affection, etiquette and law, but also to consider other extenuating factors.
In some ancient dynasties, although avenging his father was to kill someone, he did so out of filial piety, and sometimes his sentence was commuted or even exempted, which was out of reasonable considerations.
If these victims are really cowards, then the Zhang family is to eliminate harm for the people, and she is dead, so there is no way to hold her responsible, but her reputation has been saved, and others are not allowed to slander again!
The atmosphere in the lobby was also very subtle, but Li Mi still felt this change in stance.
However, Jian Dingyong's face turned pale, and his fingers trembled slightly!
Li Mi saw all this in his eyes, and he also understood Jian Dingyong's mood at this time, in the eyes of this county magistrate, Li Mi was completely nonsense, and when he questioned it, Jian Dingyong was already a little worried, and now he brought up such an unprecedented thing, he was even more unbelievable!
Song Zhiwei couldn't help frowning, and said to Li Mi: "Li Mi, this matter is very important, do you have real evidence?" ”
Speaking of real evidence, Li Mi really doesn't have it, but he can't miss this opportunity, if he can't show his ability and talent in front of Song Zhiwei, the future will be sad.
However, these cases were all closed by accidents at the beginning, and when the officials handled the official documents, they were also perfunctory, and the amount of information in the files was actually very small, and it was really impossible to find evidence simply from the files, and one or two were successful, and more than a dozen cases were found to be evidence.
Besides, the dossier is full of words, and even if it is found, it will be inconsistent or unreasonable loopholes or flaws at most, and there is no real evidence at all.
But since Li Mi dared to speak, he should know the consequences of saying this, and at this time, in the face of Song Zhiwei's warning and questioning, Li Mi replied calmly.
"Back to Song Tuiguan, the villain really has no evidence."
As soon as Li Mi said this, everyone in the lobby was in an uproar, their emotions had already been mobilized, and they had been looking forward to Li Mi being able to bring a more shocking performance, but Li Mi was so single, he was simply a scoundrel!
Jian Dingyong couldn't help but say angrily: "Li Mi, what is this place?" This is my Wu County Court! Without conclusive evidence, how dare you talk nonsense in front of Song Shugan! ”
Song Zhiwei also looked displeased, as if he had been teased, but after all, he was well-informed, just look at the leather shoes on Li Mi's feet, and know that Li Mi is not very human.
Li Mi was able to find out the details that everyone ignored in these cases, which showed that he was a person with real skills, and the emotional intelligence that Li Mi showed when he answered the question was never stupid enough to use such a big thing to tease the magistrate of Suzhou Mansion!
Sure enough, in the face of Jian Dingyong's anger and everyone's doubts, Li Mi smiled slightly, and replied with a fist at Song Zhiwei.
"Lord Tuiguan, although the villain has no evidence, there is a person who knows this very well, just look for him, and the matter will be clear!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but get excited again, maybe they didn't even realize that their emotions had been completely affected by Li Mi's words and deeds, and Li Mi, who was pitied by others at the beginning and sympathized with him as a scapegoat, had already become the focus of the audience at this time!
Song Zhiwei's face also pale, and he said to Li Mi: "This person needs to be invited by the official in person?" ”
Song Zhiwei is also a smart person, and he knows that maybe this is what Li Mi said earlier, and he needs to be the link that pushes the official.
Li Mi was also unambiguous, and said to Song Zhiwei: "That's right!" In the process of investigating the case, the villain met this person by chance, so he knew that he was also investigating the case..."
Song Zhiwei's face is also a little unsightly, after all, he is a dignified official in the four mansions of Suzhou, and investigating cases is his forte, he is also a master of solving cases in Suzhou Mansion, when do you need to personally invite others to assist in the investigation?
Isn't this saying that he is incompetent!
Jian Dingyong was already impatient, and Li Mi was also a smart person, and it was precisely because of Li Mi that he promoted him.
But today's Li Mi is a little abnormal, even if he Jian Dingyong, the magistrate, has been reminded and warned three or four times, Li Mi still goes his own way and keeps saying something that offends Song Zhiwei.
Jian Dingyong observed his words and looks, knowing that Song Zhiwei was already very unhappy in his heart, and if he continued, he was afraid that Li Mi would really offend Song Zhiwei completely, so he spoke.
"Nonsense! Since this person knows the inside story and has the evidence, let the official take the approval ticket to summon him, how can he bother Song Jiaogan! ”
Everyone also felt that Jian Dingyong was reasonable, and they couldn't help but discuss, saying that although Li Mi was a little smart, he couldn't be on the table in the end, and he didn't have any awareness of politics, so he missed a great opportunity to curry favor with Song Zhiwei.
However, Song Zhiwei is a delicate person, don't look at the displeasure on his face, but he has been thinking about Li Mi's words in his heart, and he has been observing Li Mi in his eyes.
This young man showed a calmness beyond his years, a thoughtful mind, and was able to grasp details that others overlooked, and was by no means a man of words.
"Lord Jian is serious, since this case has been reported to the Punishment Hall, it is Song's business, but the affairs of the official yamen are complicated, the cases are piled up, and the manpower is also stretched, if there is really such a capable person, who can clarify the case and restore his innocence, what does it matter if the official invites him?"
When Song Zhiwei said this, he was also a little vain, and with a high demeanor, Li Mi also felt a sense of respect in his heart.
There is no bureaucratic tie, it is one of the foundations of doing practical things for the people, this Song Zhiwei pusher, I don't know other aspects for the time being, but at this level, he is indeed a person who does things.
Song Zhiwei has been observing Li Mi, although this young man has been speaking cautiously, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, he has no low-minded servile face, and he has also said some unpleasant things to him Song Zhiwei three or four times.
Although he was respectful and polite on the surface, Song Zhiwei really didn't feel the respect from the bottom of his heart, but after he said this, Li Mi's eyes changed, making him Song Zhiwei feel respected.
Song Zhiwei was originally a talented pusher, and he had rich experience, and from the change in Li Mi's expression, it can be seen that what this young man admires is not his official position, but his integrity, what he admires is not how big the official hat is, but how many good things the official has done for the people!
Such a young person, even if there are still some flaws, may not be able to cultivate them well.
Thinking of this, Song Zhiwei asked Li Mi: "Li Mi, I don't know what you are referring to, what is sacred?" ”
Li Mi raised his head slightly, looked at Song Zhiwei, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It's Lord Yuan Keli." ”
"Yuan Keli!" When everyone heard this, they were shocked again, this is known as the detective of Suzhou Qingtian!
Although Yuan Keli is famous all over the world, and even because of Yuan Keli's fame, Song Zhiwei and other criminal officials who also have the talent to solve cases seem to be a little unknown, but they are not inactive.
Including Song Zhiwei, these criminal officials, like the common people, also admire Yuan Keli.
The people's worship of Yuan Keli is somewhat vague, but it is even more fanatical, almost to the point of worship, because of the darkness of society, the people need a heroic image like Yuan Keli.
And as the so-called insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the excitement, only Song Zhiwei and other criminal officials know how strong Yuan Keli's professional talent is!
This kind of admiration is more vivid and accurate than the worship of the common people!
At the moment when Li Mi mentioned Yuan Keli, almost everyone thought that this case seemed to be indeed as Li Mi said, and these people were really the work of widows who were not sorry to die.
There is no other reason, just because under the rule of Yuan Keli, there are very few unjust, false and wrongful cases, and the imperial court appointed him as the inspector of Shanxi Province according to the imperial history, that is, to inspect the local criminal name, picket unjust, false and wrongful cases, Yuan Keli is known to be virtuous, revered, changed to another, maybe everyone still doesn't believe it, but if it is Yuan Keli, then the matter will not be far from ten!
In fact, Li Mi is not sure whether Yuan Keli really has evidence, but Yuan Keli no longer investigates the case because of Xie Yingluo, but he often asks about Li Mi's progress at Xiang Mu's house.
Li Mi also knows very well that Yuan Keli is the same kind of person as him, since he has taken over the case, there is no reason to give up halfway, so Yuan Keli must still be investigating in secret!
Even if Yuan Keli has no evidence in his hand, as long as Song Zhiwei is asked to come forward and let him continue the investigation, Yuan Keli will definitely be able to find evidence.
After all, the resources in Yuan Keli's hands are much stronger than Li Mi's, and he found these murders by following the vine from Zhang's body and revealing the secret of the sign, but when he went to the torture room to peek at the file, Yuan Keli had already investigated this step.
Besides, these Japanese cowards were all assassinated by the killers of the Zhang family where Xie Yingluo was, and Xie Yingluo or the Zhang family behind them will definitely be able to provide evidence of the crimes of these Japanese coles!
It is precisely because of this that Li Micai is full of confidence, and he insists that these victims are the widows, which can be regarded as a preliminary recovery of the reputation of the Zhang family!
As long as these dozen cases are solved, he can go back to investigate Chen Shi, and finally find out the murderer who killed Zhang, and end this case perfectly!
