The cell was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the stench of long-suffocating stool, which was not a place for people, and dirty rats gnawed at the blackened sores on a prisoner's foot.

The so-called compassion is shared by everyone, and Li Mi is not a plant or tree, as a modern person who has received civilized education, Li Mi is also full of humanitarian goodness, and it is inevitable that he will feel chills when he sees this scene.

Kaoru Asakusa was hung from the torture pillar, scarred, and not a single part of his body was intact, but his eyes still shone with ruthlessness and unyielding.

Her clothes and pants had long been stripped off, and her plump and toned body was exposed, stained with blood, and there was no beauty at all, as if she had taken people back to an ancient world full of primitive sins.

Li Mi seems to understand why the ancients were so keen on stripping people's clothes, that is, they hit the board, and they also took off their pants and beat again.

Because the ancients were most cautious about this matter, and stripping off their clothes and trousers is like depriving them of their dignity, which is the greatest humiliation to a person, and brings greater pain and punishment than physical punishment!

However, there is no shame in Kaoru Asakusa's eyes, only the flames of indomitable and hatred!

Of course, what the Japanese did was the anger of people and gods, and Kaoru Asakusa was by no means a woman from a good family, but even so, Li Mi still had compassion and humane care in his heart.

It's not about right and wrong, it's about the good side of human nature.

He walked into the room, took a blanket, put it over Kaoru Asakusa, poured another bowl of water, and handed it to her mouth.

Kaoru Asakusa was not surprised, nor grateful, she took a sip of water, but did not swallow it, but sprayed it on Li Mi's face with the blood in her mouth!

Li Mi was not angry, and still handed over the water bowl, but Kaoru Asakusa suddenly used force, biting down a broken bowl and chewing it vigorously, as if grinding his tongue and lips, and his mouth was full of blood and minced!

"Crazy!"

Li Mi was finally shocked, and he finally saw the humanity of the Japanese Kou, these people are really barbaric!

This kind of barbarism is not examined by the level of education, but their attitude towards life!

In their eyes, they either become hunters or prey, they follow the law of the jungle, which annihilates humanity, cultural knowledge and survival skills, which can only make them more dangerous!

Li Mi knew that he couldn't hear any news from Kaoru Asakusa's mouth, even if the four cool officials around Wu Zetian were reincarnated and tortured in turn, this woman would not give in, so he shook his head and sighed, and left the cell directly.

After going through so many things, Li Mi was physically and mentally exhausted, but he couldn't sleep.

It's not that the bureaucracy is stuffy, it's not that the mosquitoes are dancing, but that he can't let go of it in his heart, and there is always a sense of crisis that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it.

When he was in the Ma Wangye Temple, the information he overheard was the biggest hidden danger.

The conversation between Gen Seiko and Kaoru Asakusa reveals that the Wako have a plan, but no one knows what this plan is.

It's a matter of widows, no matter how small it is, it's a big deal, and Jian Dingyong's side also interrogated Xuan Qingzi overnight.

But as expected, this Xuan Qingzi is only a peripheral work, and he has no access to the core secrets, and he only knows a little about this plan.

Li Mi also knew very well in his heart that the higher the level of secrecy, the more important the plan became, and the military plan of the Japanese invaders directly affected the safety of thousands of people along the coast, so how could Li Mi sit back and relax?

He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, but as soon as he thought of it, he got up from the bed again, poured a stream of cold water, and walked to the county government's back house.

As expected, Jian Dingyong did not fall asleep, the light was still on in his study, and the history and master were also waiting inside, and they were analyzing Xuan Qingzi's confession.

The official who was on night duty outside saw Li Mi coming, and nodded politely, and did not stop him, but knocked on the door of the study for him.

Jian Dingyong opened the door and came out, seeing that it was Li Mi, some surprised, but also a little relieved, and said with a slight smile: "Come in." ”

Li Mi walked into the room, nodded to Master Qian and Dian Shi, and then asked Jian Dingyong.

"Does the Ming Mansion have eyebrows?"

Jian Dingyong sat down, sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "These widows must do great things, but we have limited clues and can't get more information..."

This is the second day that Li Mi became a fast arrester, not only solved Zhang's case, caught the murderer Kaoru Asakusa, but also involved the conspiracy of the Japanese Kou, such an achievement, even Xing Zhutou and others who have been on errands for decades have never had.

Perhaps because of this, whether it is Jian Dingyong or Master Qian, they all look at Li Mi differently, this matter was originally exposed by Li Mi, and naturally they will not hide it, but they need Li Mi's help even more.

Li Mi thought for a while, and said to Jian Dingyong: "Kaoru Asakusa, a female devil, is tight-lipped, she would rather die than give in, and it is unlikely that she wants to get more information from her..."

"Yes..."Jian Dingyong sighed again, thinking about this matter also made him anxious, after all, it was a matter of widows, if he didn't take the right measures and missed something, the responsibility was on him, the magistrate.

Master Qian asked seemingly casually at this time: "Little Brother Li is resourceful, I don't know if there is a good plan?" ”

Li Mi looked at it at a glance, Master Qian did not mean to provoke, he looked very sincere, Li Mi didn't care, so he replied.

"Since Kaoru Asakusa and Gen Qingzi have made no progress here, we can only find another breakthrough..."

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, this Suzhou Mansion is not small, where should I start?" Master Qian shook his head and said.

Li Mi pondered for a moment, and said frankly: "Don't dare to hide it from the Ming Mansion, in addition to us, there are people who are concerned about the every move of this gang of widows, maybe they know more than us, why don't you hand it over to the next and let me ask?" ”

As soon as Li Mi said this, Jian Dingyong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he was about to agree, but Master Qian grabbed the conversation in time and said, "Brother Li is talking about the people of the Zhang family in Qiantang, right?" ”

Li Mi also nodded, if there was no Xie Yingluo this time, he would not be able to catch Asakusa Kaoru, and besides, when he was in the Ma Wangye Temple, it was Zhang's ghost that suddenly appeared, so that Xie Yingluo had an opportunity to take advantage of it and successfully take down Asakusa Kaoru, this matter, Li Mi has not been able to let go, he must find out, what is Zhang's ghost!

However, Master Qian shook his head and said to Jian Dingyong: "My lord, with all due respect, although the Zhang family has justice in his heart and actively resists the Japanese invaders, the so-called improper name is not good, the Zhang family is not treated by the imperial court in the end, and many officials in the court even suspect that the Zhang family and the Japanese are secretly in communication, if the adults have a relationship with them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be alone..."

When Jian Dingyong heard this, the thoughts in his heart were extinguished.

Yes, he is an official, and the people of the Zhang family can only be bandits in the final analysis, but if they are involved with the people in the green forest, how many of them can be good in the officialdom?

"There's no other way?" Jian Dingyong asked Li Mi like this, and Li Mi couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, which showed that Jian Dingyong vetoed his proposal.

Li Mi thought about it for a while, and then suggested: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that it takes more time and manpower..."

Jian Dingyong discussed with his master and Dian Shi for most of the night, but he had no clue, but now he heard Li Mi say that there was a way, and there was more than one way, so he was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked.

"It's better to spend more than to sit back and wait, talk about it and see if it works."

Li Mi actually had this idea in his heart for a long time, and immediately said to Jian Dingyong.

"Kaoru Asakusa is the yin and yang Xuannu of the Shenlu Palace, and she has a high status in the Wako, after she is caught, the Wakou will definitely not give up, if she is used as bait, she will definitely be able to lure the snake out of the hole!"

As soon as Li Mi said this, Jian Dingyong and the others immediately woke up, and they might really be able to get some intelligence and information by grabbing other Japanese coars, but Kaoru Asakusa is the biggest trophy this time, if there is a mistake, the duck that reaches the beak will fly.

Jian Dingyong couldn't help but hesitate, Master Qian is also a thoughtful person, and he knows Jian Dingyong even better, so he said to Li Mi at this time: "Asakusa Kaoru has just been captured, and it has been reported to the government overnight, and the people above have not come down to see it, at this time, using her as bait is inevitable that it is a little hasty, I think it is better to find another way..."

Jian Dingyong also said at this time: "Master's concerns are not unreasonable, Li Mi, in addition, is there a good plan?" ”

Li Mi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and it was difficult to hide the disappointment on his face, but he could only retreat and say: "You don't need Kaoru Asakusa as bait, it's not impossible to capture other fine works, but the time may be slower..."

Jian Dingyong couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when he heard this, this Li Mi really has some city governments, and the ideas of the plan are endless, and he immediately said: "After all, this matter still needs to be decided by the government government, but the situation is urgent, time is not waiting, if you really have a good plan, you can rest assured to say it, and the official will see if it is done!" ”

Li Mi took a light breath and asked Jian Dingyong, "I wonder if the Ming Mansion can give me a map of Suzhou Mansion?" ”

"Maps?" As soon as Li Mi said this, not only Jian Dingyong, but also Master Qian and Dian Shi, their faces changed greatly!

In later generations, maps were nothing new, you could buy a copy for a few dollars, and the map app on your phone was extremely detailed.

But in ancient times, maps were a crucial thing, and private individuals were not allowed to draw and harbor them, otherwise it would be a great sin!

Just like this map of Suzhou Mansion, strictly speaking, it should be the city defense map of Suzhou Mansion, and the map marks the main roads and defenses of Suzhou Mansion, even Jian Dingyong may not be able to get it!

After all, he is only the county commander of Wu County, and the city defense map of Suzhou Mansion is something only available to the government and the guard!

"What do you want the map to do?" Jian Dingyong couldn't help but be vigilant, although Li Mi became a fast catcher, but it was only yesterday, at this moment, he asked for a map, which inevitably made people a little nervous.

From their expressions, Li Mi could also see that he was only afraid of committing some taboo, and hurriedly explained.

"Mingfu, we want to clean the fine work in Suzhou City, but we can't be targeted, headless flies like ramming, the latter go door-to-door search, will startle snakes, even if there is no clear goal, we must have a general search range..."

"In the criminal investigation gate, there is a first-hand technique called map analysis, let me give an analogy."

Li Mi glanced at it, then walked to the desk, pulled out a piece of paper, and drew with a pen.

"My lord, look, this circle is the county government, and this is the Lu family, if I remember correctly, the direction is probably like this..."

Li Mi said to Master Qian again: "Master Lao is bothered to tell me the general location of the dozen or so murders." ”

Master Qian is Jian Dingyong's right-hand man, it can be said that most of the government affairs, he must be handled, as a Shaoxing master, he knows the case better than Jian Dingyong, at this time he doesn't know what Li Mi is going to do, his interest is aroused, and he doesn't need to look at the file, and he immediately points out the location.

Li Mi marked the directions one by one, and then drew lines on these places to connect them.

Seeing Li Mi describe it so skillfully, Jian Dingyong and the others also showed surprise, but when they saw the drawings on the paper, they instantly understood what this map analysis method was!
