The night was dark, and the Zhang Mansion was also a bleak and gloomy cloud, and there was not much time left for Li Mi.

He must confirm a question as soon as possible, whether Zhang Dingsi was killed by Qi Changkong, if it was really Qi Changkong's doing, then it is confirmed that Qi Changkong has entered such a psychological stage, I am afraid that there are more officials who have impeached Qi Jiguang to be victimized!

Zhou Yu is not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, but why Zhou Yu wants to go to Lujiang County, the intention is also very obvious, he has no family, it stands to reason that there is no practical meaning, and the only thing that can be explained is psychological satisfaction.

A person who goes to worship his own tomb or temple can explain a lot, this is not to remember himself, but to say goodbye to himself!

Zhou Yu had reached the end of his rope and could no longer examine his actions with the eyes of the past, so it was not surprising that he indulged Qi Changkong in killing people.

But these are Li Mi's speculations, and they must be supported by evidence, not to mention that Qi Changkong is a clever person, in order to become a Lu Kang, he has received long-term training from the Heroes Association, just to say that these stupid family members in Zhang's mansion have cleaned the scene so cleanly, even if Qi Changkong left something, it has already been cleaned up.

Wang Shiqiang is also indignant and helpless, he is not what the official thinks, he just relies on a strong circle of contacts to solve the case, in the past three years of filial piety, he is also constantly learning, taking Li Mi as an example to learn, so the knowledge and skills to solve the case are also there.

The on-site investigation cannot be carried out, so we can only return to the main body of the murder, which is Zhang Dingsi's body!

Although Li Mi had simply checked the condition of the corpse, killing an old man with one punch was nothing unique about this kind of thing, and it was even too ordinary to find Qi Changkong's characteristics at all.

In fact, background checks don't have much significance, Zhang Dingsi's job is to offend people, because of his impeachment, there are too many people who have been demoted or even exiled, and they can't be counted at all, and anyone can retaliate against him.

Breaking the prefect and destroying the county order, local officials have always done whatever they want, and there is too much subjectivity in government management, not to mention that an official who jumps over the wall in a hurry, it is not too much to make any extreme retaliatory moves.

If it was Qingque'er who was still on the streets of Suzhou Yaxing four or five years ago, maybe he would have cut this enemy with a thousand knives to vent his hatred, but now Qi Changkong has been trained by the Heroes Association for several years, whether it is ability or mentality, it is not what it used to be, and he will definitely not do this.

But killing an old man with one punch is believed to be unable to satisfy his pleasure of revenge, so he must have done something to Zhang Dingsi, but Li Mi didn't find out for the time being!

"You all go out and wait!"

Li Mi couldn't help but say, he drove these people out, after all, he was a martial artist, and he was a messenger of Weifu's private visit, no matter how rude the Zhang family was, they didn't dare to say a word, not to mention that they also destroyed the scene, and they were already ashamed in their hearts, and they also walked out obediently at this time.

Although it is a little cold, but it is true, people are old, life is cheap, the family for the departure of the elderly, it is no longer so sad, many old people in their seventies and eighties have passed away, and the family members even breathe a sigh of relief, knowing their names and saying that they are happy and mourning, maybe they will have to knock and beat on a few tables.

Zhang Dingsi is no longer in the officialdom, because he is an official, and there are too many people who have offended, so his family can no longer get more help from him, even if Zhang Dingsi is dead, the grief of the family will not be too deep, perhaps this is also the explanation for many of their actions.

It is precisely because they are not too sad that their focus is on maintaining the dignity of the family, and they did not think of justice and revenge for Zhang Dingsi, maybe they even took this idea lightly.

People say that every time they slaughter more dogs, they are the most negative readers, and the lack of affection of these civil official families is really pathetic.

However, Li Mi didn't have much heart to pay attention to these, and after these people went out, Li Mi stood by the bed and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Dingsi is tall and thin, with a horse face, and it can be seen that he was also a graceful and high-spirited scholar when he was young, and he also looked very peaceful after being restrained, as his family said, he did maintain his dignity.

Li Mi checked the top and bottom of his body, except for the mark on his chest, there was indeed no other suspicious place, and it was inevitable that he was a little anxious.

Seeing that Li Mi was silent, Zhen Mi also said on the side: "Do you think this person is a little strange?" ”

"Strange? What's weird? Li Mi knows that women see things from different angles than men, and they also attach great importance to Zhen Mi's opinions.

However, Zhen Mi's opinion made Li Mi a little disappointed, because she considered it from a normal heart.

"This old man...... This old man looks like a very thin person, and he has not seen the form of old age and fortune, why is he pot-bellied? ”

Li Mi glanced at it, Zhang Dingsi's belly was indeed a little swollen, but this sign was normal.

"Even if you are thin, it is normal for you to have a swollen belly due to beatings, internal bleeding or fluid accumulation, and besides, it is not strange that the corpse will release all kinds of gases that cannot be expelled from the body."

What Li Mi said was reasonable, but Zhen Mi disagreed: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I also see your experience in handling cases in the past, don't you think his belly is swollen too early?" After all, he had only been killed for a short time......"

Zhen Mi said this, Li Mi was also puzzled, many detectives are most afraid of many problems when solving the case, but Li Mi knows that only by finding the problem can the problem be solved, and if the problem is solved, the case can be solved, so the more problems, the more suspicious points, the more clues, the smoother the case, the most afraid is that there is no problem at all, and even the direction of the investigation can not be found.

Holding this question, Li Mi reached out and lifted the cloth on Zhang Dingsi's belly, pressed it gently, and his brows suddenly wrinkled!

Li Mi pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pressed the corpse's abdomen again, and then walked to the desk, flipped through it casually, and finally suddenly realized!

Zhen Mi followed, but saw that the books on the table were mutilated, and a lot of them were dead!

He ...... He had ...... in his stomach Is it a book? ”

Li Mi nodded: "I think it should be." ”

"Why did Qi Changkong do this?" Zhen Mi also fell into thinking, but Li Mi was very clear about this.

"This is a strong disagreement, and this is just to show his disdain for Zhang Dingsi, thinking that what Zhang Dingsi wrote is worthless and not worth circulating in the world, so it is better to stuff it back into his stomach."

"Zhang Dingsi is a civil official, he prides himself on being clear, and after leaving office, he concentrates on learning, these academic books are his greatest achievement, and they are also his last pursuit and ideal, and they are the only thing that can humiliate Zhang Dingsi, after all, when people are old, they will look down on life."

When Li Mi said this, Zhen Mi was also thoughtful, many things are actually more important than life, and she understands this truth very well.

However, she didn't say anything, because her eyes were focused on Zhang Dingsi!

"Look!"

Li Mi looked at Zhen Mi's fingers, but saw that there were a lot of red and black blood stains flowing from the corners of Zhang Dingsi's mouth!

Presumably, it was just pressing on the abdomen, causing blood in the body to overflow from the mouth.

Li Mi didn't want to care about him, anyway, those family members would come in and clean up, but he couldn't take his eyes off!

Although his intuition told him that something was strange, he couldn't tell what was strange for a while.

After staring at it like this for a long time, Li Mi finally walked to the desk, grabbed a pen holder, and pried open Zhang Dingsi's mouth!

"That's right!"

Zhen Mi came over to take a look, but saw that Zhang Dingsi's tongue had been twisted!

Zhang Dingsi is a speech official, pen and ink are his spears, and his tongue is his sword!

It was Zhang Dingsi's mouth and tongue that set off a wave of impeachment of Qi Jiguang by courtiers and officials, which made Qi Jiguang come to an abrupt end!

The perpetrator did not rob money, did not set fires, did not kill other people, the goal was extremely clear, it was a vendetta, swallowing books and cutting off tongues, it was too obvious!

"You also said that Zhang Dingsi is a speech official, and he has offended too many people, and many people are eager to cut off his tongue, but it's not just Qi Changkong, even if he knows this, he can't confirm that Qi Changkong did it......"

Facing Zhen Mi's questioning, Li Mi just shook his head and said to Zhen Mi: "It can be confirmed that it is him." ”

He pointed to Zhang Dingsi's teeth and said, "Look, this tooth has been cut off, it must be a sharp weapon that sharpens iron like clay, do you remember the scene of the young swordmaster's death?" ”

Zhen Mi naturally remembered that the blades of the young swordsman had been cut off by Qi Brush, which was enough to show that Qi Changkong had obtained an extremely sharp and tenacious artifact!

However, Li Mi's evidence was not over, he walked back to the desk, pointed to the broken book, and said to Zhen Mi: "You take a closer look." ”

Zhen Mi flipped through the broken pages, although the context could not be revealed, but from the remaining content before and after, it can be seen that this book is a collection of excerpts that Zhang Dingsi once wrote, and the fragmented pages are the folds of his impeachment of Qi Jiguang!

This is said that Qi Jiguang is not suitable for the north, regardless of whether the talent is suitable or not, the special affairs figure out to cater to it, and these people can also be killed!

If it is said that swallowing books and cutting off tongues and the like are not enough to point to Qi Changkong, then this incomplete letter should be the best evidence!

Li Mi took the remnant book in his hand, walked out of the room, explained the situation clearly to Wang Shiqiao and the magistrate, and then suggested to them: "This Qi Changkong should still be hiding in Jinling City at the moment, if the official government can draw shadow graphics, distribute sea fishing documents, and create some pressure on him, I think it will be conducive to the pursuit." ”

Wang Shiqiang and the pusher didn't expect Li Mi to lock up the suspect so quickly, and they were overjoyed, but the painter was a thing, and it didn't help in the pusher's yamen.

In ancient times, painters were unreliable, and at most they could only draw some facial features, such as black moles or beards, which were more obvious and had iconic features.

Li Mi thought about it, returned to the study, and drew a sketch portrait with charcoal strips, he was very familiar with Qi Changkong, and even Zhou Yu drew it, treating Zhou Yu as an accomplice and accomplice.

After all, Matteo Ricci did not bring the techniques of Western painting such as oil painting to China until the twenty or thirty years of Wanli, and Li Mi's sketch was very fresh and amazing.

It's just that Liu Zhibei is very puzzled, Li Mi pursued Zhou Yu all the way, deliberately low-key, and never let the local government interfere, in order to avoid startling the snake, why is he using the power of Nanzhili now?

Faced with Liu Zhibei's doubts, Li Mi also sighed lightly and explained: "They have begun to blatantly kill people, and Qi Changkong is free to enter and exit Zhang's mansion, which means that they are very likely to have found a helper......

"If it's just Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong, it's looking for a needle in a haystack, there is only one clue, if they startle the snake, they are dragons into the ocean, and it will be difficult to catch them, but now that they have helpers, they will have flaws!"

Liu Zhibei finally realized that Li Mi didn't want to persecute Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong, because these two were not afraid of persecution at all, and what Li Mi wanted to persecute was their helper!
