Chapter 367: Confronting the Governor's Protection
Although there is an extremely clear fingerprint slide, it is still a little difficult to compare fingerprints, and for unfamiliar laymen, you can actually see whether the fingerprints are buckets or kei, but it is a little difficult to distinguish the differences.
However, Li Mi has learned professionally, and he has a lot of experience, and after he warmed up, the speed was also extremely fast.
Later generations of fingerprint comparison usually establish a fingerprint database, through the computer system, can be quickly matched, but in the past, when the technology is not so advanced, it is also by the naked eye to compare, if it is a mutilated fingerprint, it may not work.
But the two complete fingerprints, Li Mi made them into transparent slides, and directly overlapped and compared, and it was easy to see the difference.
Li Mi focused on comparing fingerprints, Mo Hengluan was not idle, let people take the paper, and went down to collect fingerprints, and Li Mi's speed became faster and faster, and when he almost swept it away, he could see the difference.
The faster Li Mi's elimination speed, the closer the real murderer will be, everyone is also excited, Li Mi looked at it, but Mo Hengluan was gone, and after half an hour, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Mo Hengluan walked in and said towards Li Mi.
"These people's fingerprints have been collected, and it's about to dawn, so I'll see that this is it, you go back and rest first, and prepare for the street parade ceremony."
Everyone also felt that what they said was reasonable, so they got up one after another to leave, especially those martial artists, since they were innocent, they were all relaxed, and this place didn't want to stay for a moment.
As for the benefactors in the lobby downstairs, Mo Hengluan actually let them go!
"After all, these people are all heads and faces in Gusu City, and it is normal for people to find a happy pastime at night, they have a family and a business, and they can't run, so it doesn't hurt to let them go back first."
When Li Mi heard such an explanation, he also shook his head and smiled bitterly, daring to love himself for spending his scheming and working hard for most of the night, but this is the result.
When everyone was almost gone, Li Mi said to Mo Hengluan: "Zong Rong, although this girl has a humble status, but in the end it is a human life, whether she is pushed into the fire pit and forced to become a prostitute, or she is willing to eat this meat rice, human life is human life in the end......
Mo Hengluan heard Li Mi say this, his brows furrowed, his face was a little gloomy, and he said to Li Mi: "What do you want to say?" ”
Li Mi saw that General Rong was displeased, but instead of panicking, he said to him with the same seriousness: "General Rong, if I don't treat you sincerely, I won't have to say more, so as to save you from being bored, but General Rong is sincere, how can Li Mi pretend to be deaf and dumb, although this dead girl is a person from the nephrite cave, but in the end, there is a murder case, and she has already reported to the official, so it is impossible to be private, but General Rong is not good at protecting the turtle woman, right?" ”
When Li Mi said this, Mo Hengluan was suddenly shocked, Li Mi extracted fingerprints, which had already given people a mysterious and unpredictable power, he thought that Li Mi had been working hard, but he didn't expect Li Mi to break it!
"Bendu doesn't know what you mean......"
Li Mi listened to this extremely weak prevarication, and also shook his head lightly, and said to Mo Hengluan.
"General Rong, just give me another half an hour, and everyone will be investigated, and the murderer will have nothing to hide, but at this time, it came to an abrupt end, not only that, but even those benefactors were put back, how could it not make the officials suspicious?"
"The impact of this case on General Rong, General Rong is clearer than the lower officials, since General Rong has the confidence to order the release of the person, it means that General Rong already knows who the murderer is, or rather, the murderer has surrendered to General Rong, I am not wrong, right?"
Hearing this, Mo Hengluan finally sighed lightly and admitted: "I really can't hide anything from you, if you don't have a solid foundation, this governor would really suspect that you are possessed by gods and ghosts......"
Saying this, Mo Hengluan also sat down on the side, standing for most of the night, his feet were also sore, and he beat his knees lightly while saying to Li Mi.
"No one else thinks that I, the governor, am high above me, holding authority and doing whatever he wants, but who knows that this governor's seat is full of fire and thorns?"
"This local force is also complicated, if you don't make friends, it is difficult to carry out government affairs, and every year taxes and levies are apportioned, which one does not need the support of local forces? You can't just send troops to suppress it at every turn, right? ”
"In addition, there are three religions and nine streams, the Cao Canal Gang, and the coastal pseudo-widows, which is the land of fireworks, and there are guilds and chambers of commerce taking care of them, and you need to deal with them inside and out, if you are really contaminated with local government affairs, you can understand the truth, this official is not how much power you have, but how much face you have......
This is the reason why Li Mi is not interested in being an official, there are too many things to consider and worry about, and what Li Mi wants to do is only pursue the truth, but officialdom is obviously not a good place to pursue the truth.
"So Zongrong wants to sell this face this time?"
Li Mi's question was a little stiff, Mo Hengluan wanted to blurt out "yes", but in the end he endured it and said to Li Mi.
"In fact, you have already investigated this case, so this face should be sold by you, in the future, not only this nephrite cave, but also the fireworks and willow alleys of the entire Gusu City, will give you this face, come and don't be rude, your eyes open and closed today, it is likely to become the key to saving the career in the future......"
When Li Mi heard this, he was also silent, Mo Hengluan knew that Li Mi was not keen on power, and when he saw Li Mi, he seemed to see himself who had just stepped into the officialdom, full of ideals and innocence, but in the end, he still had to be surging by this undercurrent, smoothing out all the edges and corners, and finally turning into a round pebble.
Mo Hengluan gently patted Li Mi's shoulder, and then was about to walk out, seeing that Mo Hengluan was about to step out of the door, Li Mi suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head!
"Zong Rong, since I am here to sell this face, then I will not sell it!"
Mo Hengluan's footsteps froze, but his face was not so ugly, as if he had already expected Li Mi's statement, and even faintly waited for this sentence, at this time, he was relieved, if he really let him go out of the door, I was afraid that he would be disappointed.
"Do you know what kind of person this dead girl is? She is a person from the river, Huai helped the grass to make trouble, the displaced people migrated to the southeast, she fled with her parents, and the others were selling children and girls, but she did the opposite, selling her old parents to traffickers, just for a silver hairpin! ”
"She first came to Yangzhou, and then came to Suzhou, the buildings were mixed, it was already a broken flower, but she learned a good kung fu, with pigeon blood and chicken blood into the swim bladder, pretending to be a virgin, raising her value, not a place, she had to pretend to be a virgin, others may be forced by life, but this woman is not for money to do this business......"
"The old bustard's mother has vicious eyes, looking at her waist, pelvis, and legs, she feels that she is not a virgin, and she does not deny it, but she has a dispute with the old bustard's mother, so she has a grudge, but she is unwilling to leave, and even colludes with the big turtle to take away the nephrite cave of the old bustard's mother!"
When Mo Hengluan said this, he also used his eyes to peek at Li Mi, but Li Mi just frowned, and he didn't know what to think about, so Mo Hengluan continued.
"In the end, these martial artists are measured, if she hadn't instigated them, how could she have come to this place of smoke and miasma after she released the list, she wanted to use these martial artists to suppress the bustard's mother, how could the bustard's mother sit still and wait to die?"
When Mo Hengluan said this, things are already very clear, even if the bustard's mother is not the real murderer, she is also the mastermind of the plan!
Mo Hengluan can be regarded as honest, but Li Mi didn't plan to let it go, he thought about it and said to Mo Hengluan.
"Everything has a cause and effect, in the end, she killed someone, killed people to pay off her debts, it is justified, as for this girl to take away her inheritance, she can use other means to deal with it, why do you have to kill people?"
"Whether the deceased wants to seize this property or not should be discussed in a separate case, but the murder must fall on the bustard's mother, and I want the murderer to be caught and brought to justice!"
Li Mi also didn't want to discuss with Mo Hengluan those cases of "six relatives not recognizing" or legal but unreasonable cases in later generations, because this could not be understood and recognized at all, he just hoped that the results of his investigation could play their due role and obtain due value!
Mo Hengluan and Li Mi said so resolutely, he had no choice but to nod and say: "Since you are unwilling to sell this face, then the official can only act according to the rules and arrest her back." ”
Li Mi was also a little surprised, after all, in his imagination, Mo Hengluan shouldn't compromise so easily.
Mo Hengluan really did not exceed Li Mi's expectations, and then said to Li Mi.
"Well, what you said is also reasonable, the case of this dead girl is one thing, whether she wants to seize the property or not is another matter, then, Ben Du also told you, whether you sell face or not is one thing, and whether Ben Du sells this face or not is another matter."
"I'll arrest people back and do things according to the rules, because this case was solved by you, and everything can be done according to the rules, but it's another thing for this governor to catch people, and it's not aimed at you personally, it's just a matter of facts, I hope you don't think about it too much."
Since Chen Heguang asked Li Mi for help and went to the Governor's Mansion to treat Mo Hengluan's son, Mo Hengluan's correspondence with Li Mi was also harmonious, and later with the emperor's secret decree, the two cooperated with each other to hold this martial arts palace test, Li Mi played a key role in it, and Mo Hengluan also relied more on Li Mi.
With these friendships, Li Mi didn't need to report at all when he entered and exited the Governor's Mansion, but at this time, Li Mi realized that he hadn't known the real Mo Hengluan at all!
Or that he thought he had touched the doorway of officialdom, and it was only at this time that he realized that he was still a stunned young man, and he couldn't understand Mo Hengluan's approach at all!
He is clearly a governor and has a lot of power, so why do he have to sell face to a mother in the nephrite cave?
There are too many things that Li Mi doesn't understand, no matter how many puzzles and difficult unsolved cases, Li Mi is confident that he will see the light of day, but he really can't see through the things in the officialdom.
Mo Hengluan said this, as if an invisible barrier had been erected between them, and Li Mi and the governor were transferred back to their respective worlds.
This governor and Li Mi have never been from the same world, but Li Mi has not been aware of it earlier, or if what happened today has not happened, Li Mi will not notice this difference at all.
But Li Mi still insisted: "Zongrong can naturally sell this face, but the lower officials also have to insist, you can cover up, but the lower officials will also bring her to justice!" ”
Mo Hengluan smiled instead, and said to Li Mi: "Okay, Pontus Governor is waiting to see your methods!" ”
