Li Mi's proposal to check Chen Shi's suicide note is a new direction of the investigation, and it is also the few clues left, it is said that it is understandable, but he is not a tolerance after all, this kind of key evidence, whether he can be given this authority, it all depends on Jian Dingyong's county order.

At this time, Jian Dingyong stared at Li Mi meaningfully, Wu Yong and Lao Qizuo were also a little confused, but Li Mi was not timid, but looked at Jian Dingyong indifferently.

The officialdom system of the Ming Dynasty is a bit strange, the county officials have great authority, and everyone else has to call the county an old parent, Li Mi is clearly a young man in his early twenties, why is he so calm?

This is something that Jian Dingyong can't figure out, and it makes Wu Yong and Lao Zuo a little unbelievable, but thinking about Li Mi's bold move of throwing Wu Yong, the official of the torture room, into the water, he is also a little relieved.

Jian Dingyong didn't let Li Mi wait for a long time, his eyes finally looked away, and then said to Li Mi: "It is said that this evidence is very important, you are not a public person, and you are not a relative, so you should not be allowed to check it, but since you have the heart to find out the truth, this county will give you a chance." ”

When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked Jian Dingyong: "The Ming Mansion and the mirror are hanging high, which is the blessing of the people of Wu County, and Li Mi is so lucky!" ”

Jian Dingyong waved his hand: "Don't be happy too early, this county will ask you, you are neither a relative nor a tolerance, why do you care so much about this case?" ”

Li Mi had already thought of his words, and then he spoke: "I really don't dare to hide the Ming Mansion, the contemptible family is also a person from the Six Doors, but it is just involved in some unjust cases, and the family is in the middle of the road, and since then I have become a grass people, although I Li Mi is not talented, but I hope to re-enter the public gate and revive the family's reputation... This case is suspenseful, if this case can be solved, can the Ming government give me a chance to work for the public? ”

When these words came out, Wu Yong and Lao Qizuo both realized a little, after all, not everyone has the courage to do this, and they can go down to check the corpse, since they have such a motive, it perfectly explains why Li Mi is so persistent.

But this time it was Jian Dingyong's turn to hesitate, he looked at Li Mi paradoxically, and then said bluntly.

"What you said is decent, but the official doesn't believe it, no matter what, the official won't pursue it for the time being, and come with me to see the evidence left by Chen Shi."

Jian Dingyong is an old fox in officialdom, and when he says this, Li Mi is a little uncertain.

He clearly saw that Li Mi was just saying an excuse, and he didn't believe it, but he didn't pursue it, if he pursued it, it meant that he had the intention to accept Li Mi for his own use, after all, he had to know the roots of his own people, and he didn't ask questions, which means that he didn't want to rein in Li Mi.

But he did not refuse Li Mi's proposal, and said that this was only a temporary decision, and it did not block Li Mi's way.

Li Mi did not enter the system in later generations, and he didn't know anything about officialdom, so he made a career plan from the beginning, never participated in politics, and only thought about solving cases, pursuing the truth, and achieving the name of a detective.

Therefore, it is not easy for Li Mi to figure out Jian Dingyong's intentions, but in any case, Jian Dingyong's agreement to let him check the verification object is a good start, and Li Mi will be energetic again.

Returning to the torture room again, the scribes were nervously greeted up, because in ordinary times, only the canons and histories would come, and most of the work in the six rooms was done by the scribes and all kinds of fast-moving officials.

But this time, it was the county magistrate who came to inspect in person, and the scribes and stickers were trembling and walked out of the signing room.

In ancient times, officialdom was usually rotated for three years, and the assessment was completed at the end of the period, or moved or transferred, so the officialdom never repaired the yamen, after all, the political time is limited, who will waste time and manpower and financial resources to repair the yamen, and when it is repaired, he will also leave, isn't it cheap to take office, so the yamen is also a little dilapidated.

The signing room was old and stuffy, the cubicle was steamer-like, and the scribes worked very hard.

It is also a loss that Suzhou City has money, and the county government environment in Wu County and Changzhou County is not bad, but if it is changed to another place, the conditions will be even worse.

After Jian Dingyong sat down, he even asked Li Mi to take a seat, which made people a little surprised.

In ancient times, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, strict classes, and different statuses, so naturally they could not sit at the same table, like Lu Chongning, who had the identity of a showman, and he didn't kneel when he saw the county order, and Li Mi was a white body, not even a grass person, where could he sit!

This grass people are not ordinary people can call themselves, like the kind of people who are like the people of the tooth, they can't call themselves grass people, the so-called grass people, they must be farmers who have land to plant, so Li Mi is not even a grass people.

Jian Dingyong was originally a temptation, but Li Mi was completely ignorant of these rules, so he sat down with a big grin!

Wu Yong and the others were dumbfounded, their hearts were full of resentment, they didn't know why this Li Mi was so arrogant, he first threw him, the priest of the torture room, into the stinky ditch, and now he didn't know how to be humble in front of the county master.

Wu Yong was thrown into the water, which has become a big joke of the county government, and the other officials in the sixth room saw Li Mi for the first time, but seeing that this son has an extraordinary bearing, calm and old, although he is wearing a scarf, he can still see that he has his hair.

The most eye-catching thing is the strange pair of short-top leather shoes on Li Mi's feet, which are extremely finely made, and the leather surface is shiny and dazzling, which is really a rare treasure.

But it is such a pair of shoes, but with Li Mi's poor sourness, it is really incomprehensible, I think what kind of master Li Mi should be, otherwise where would he have such a big temper?

In addition, all kinds of deeds of Li Mi's investigation of the case were spread through discussions, and the officials and scribes of the six rooms couldn't help but look at Li Mi twice.

Jian Dingyong didn't say much, just glanced at Li Mi, and then didn't realize it, and asked Wu Yong to take out Chen Shi's evidence and put it on the table.

There are not too many evidences in this stale case, and the most important thing is the suicide note, so Li Mi's focus is on the suicide note.

The suicide note was written on pale yellow rice paper, and the ink staining was more serious, but the content could still be seen clearly.

Li Mi just watched it from beginning to end, Chen Shi really wrote down how he lured Zhang out and how he murdered him, and even mentioned the details of tying heavy objects to Zhang's feet with ropes, and wanted to sink the body to the bottom of the water, but was witnessed and had to fish Zhang up.

If Li Mi hadn't discovered Zhang's secret, hadn't decrypted the signatures left by Zhang, and didn't know that Chen Shi had already been written into Zhang's blacklist, I was afraid that the persuasiveness of this suicide note would be a hundred times stronger, and it would even be enough to finalize the case.

However, Li Mi unlocked the secret of the Zhang family, knowing that the names of those who were written on the signatures were estimated to be dead by the owner, and those signatures were simply the death list!

If, as written in the suicide note, Chen Shi and Zhang's have never known each other, and he just covets Zhang's appearance and wants to lure him to a secluded place to commit violence, then why did his name appear on Zhang's death bamboo stick early?

Li Mi can completely imagine that if the Zhang family does not die, he is afraid that the one who is dead now is already Chen Shi, but now Chen Shi's death, I don't know if it was because of the effect of the bamboo stick, or another force killed him and made him a scapegoat.

"Ming Mansion, as far as I know, Chen Shi is illiterate, this suicide note is clearly forged, this case is full of loopholes, it is impossible for Ming Mansion not to see it, why should the case be closed hastily?"

As soon as Li Mi said this, all the officials frowned again, thinking that Li Mi was a little smart, but in terms of dealing with people, he was like an idiot.

However, they didn't know Li Mi's intentions, Li Mi just wanted to get Jian Dingyong's appreciation, if he was submissive, it was not enough to make him look at him differently.

On the other hand, it is a neutral word, not necessarily all good things, it will make people pay attention to you, and sometimes the sword goes sideways, but it is impressive.

There are too many echoing insects in the county office, and Li Miruo is also unknown to everyone, how can he be brilliant in front of the county order?

It is impressive, even if it is your mistakes that you remember, it is more violent and effective than mediocre flattery, this is Li Mi's strategy.

Sure enough, Jian Dingyong frowned slightly, and then replied flatly: "Who said that Chen Shi is illiterate, although he is a grass citizen, he is literate, and the words are not bad, as for when he learned it, it is not clear, he is a good gambler, and he left a lot of IOUs at home, after comparison, this suicide note is indeed his handwriting, and there is no suspicion of forgery." ”

"IOU?" Li Mi unfolded the crumpled pile of papers on the table one by one, and the contents were really an IOU from Chen Shi's handwriting, and there was also his drawing on it.

Painting this thing is also a pioneering work of the ancients, used to identify personal identity, in fact, it is a simple symbol, not a very reliable thing.

However, ancient China has begun to identify handwriting, because the calligraphy and painting of the Chinese nation is a must, and many times it is necessary to identify the authenticity of treasures, so it is derived from the industry of identifying handwriting.

It's just that it was not used in criminal investigation at the beginning, and even in the Ming Dynasty, the use of handwriting identification in criminal investigation is still not much.

Li Mi's first thought was naturally forgery, maybe someone imitated Chen Shi's handwriting, or maybe someone coerced him to write this suicide note under duress.

The former is also easier, find a famous calligrapher, you can compare, and if you want to prove that Chen Shi was coerced to write this suicide note, it will be extremely difficult.

It's no wonder that the county government wants to close the case, maybe it's really as Jian Dingyong said, this case can't be investigated at all!

Li Mi is a detective, but the handwriting comparison and identification is only half an insider, and now he is also unfamiliar with life, and he wants to find a calligraphy master to compare and identify, which is even more painful, is it difficult to give up?

He wanted to tell Jian Dingyong the truth in exchange for the right to view the file, as long as it was determined that the bamboo stick hung by the Zhang family was a death blacklist, and the decrypted surname on the bamboo stick was involved in the murder case on the corresponding date, then there would be a new idea and breakthrough in this case.

But it is about the reputation of the Zhang family, if you make a mistake, it will inevitably be smeared on the face of the dead, there is no conclusive certainty in this kind of thing, Li Mi doesn't care, Jian Dingyong, as a county commander, will not agree to anything.

The case has progressed to this point, and it seems that every clue can pull out the radish and bring out a pile of mud, but each radish does not dare to pull it out, or it can't be pulled, or it can't be pulled out.

But since Li Mi vowed to become a Daming detective, how could he give up easily!
