Chapter 45: Clues
Following.
Li Yaowei took Fifth Yao and Xiaoxuan to the newspaper office, and Fifth Ming and Sun Huai were there.
"Brother Li, Mrs. Li, Second Lady." Sun Huai was the first to say hello.
"Sister, brother-in-law." Fifth Ming's expression was a little unnatural, and Li Yaowei glanced at him and smiled.
Yesterday, he was scared and scared by his sister, so he sold Li Yaoji, and he really didn't want to go. But depending on the situation, there should be no problem with the two.
"This is the house you bought for 10,000 yuan?"
"Hmm." Li Yaojian nodded, and now only ash and broken walls remain. But I didn't feel much distressed, after all, the 200,000 taels of gold sent by the Fifth Wenbo had only cost less than 5,000 taels so far, and the two shops also had a steady stream of money in their pockets.
"Did you find anything by calling me early in the morning?"
"Brother Li, look here." Sun Huai held a piece of porcelain. "It was found in the rubble of a house that caught fire."
Li Yaowei didn't know anything about ancient ceramics, "What is this?" ”
"It's a fuel-efficient lamp, a new type of lamp. I asked, but your newspaper doesn't use this kind of lamp, so it's very likely that someone else lit it and threw it in. ”
"Outsiders?" Li Yaoyu pinched his chin and pondered, "Brother-in-law, the ordinary workers of the newspaper are all arranged by you, can you trust it?" ”
"I can trust it, they are all old people who have worked in our family for several years or even more than 20 years, and their conduct is fine."
"However, this place is very hidden, how did outsiders know about it? Is it stalking me or Du Manwan? ”
"Very likely." Fifth Ming analyzed, "Your popularity is relatively high, and your hat is very distinctive, it is not difficult to recognize you." ”
Li Yaojian took this fuel-efficient lamp and watched carefully, thinking about who set the fire and why.
Fifth Yao asked on the side: "Could the arson have something to do with the newspaper that appeared yesterday?" ”
This is the question of the fifth Yao, and it is also the conjecture of many people in Chang'an City.
"They do have suspicions." Li Yaojian echoed, "By the way, is this kind of fuel-efficient lamp common?" ”
"It's not common, because it's a new type of lamp, and it's burning grease, which is not only expensive, but also a little smelly." The fifth Ming Hui Dao.
"Where can I buy it?"
"The porcelain workshop of the East City."
……
……
The shops in the two cities of Chang'an City are distributed in specific squares according to the type of goods sold. Li Yaowei, Fifth Yao, Xiaoxuan, and Fifth Ming came to the porcelain workshop in Dongshi.
"There are so many shops!" Xiao Xuan saw the large and small porcelain shops in the porcelain workshop, and suddenly had a bitter face.
"No way, the porcelain in Dongshi is the most famous, Chang'an people and people from nearby prefectures, towns and counties, if they want to buy porcelain, they will come to Dongshi."
The fifth family is a big business, and the fifth Ming knows the business situation well.
"Do you have a store in the East Market?"
"Yes, and a lot."
"......" Li Yaowei felt that he had asked a very stupid question, just like asking the people's teacher Jack Ma directly, does your company have a layout for online live broadcasting?
Modern network giants, with deep pockets, quickly establish subsidiaries or direct acquisitions in any new areas, so they basically have a layout in all network products and services.
The fifth company that can develop into a rich country must open stores on a large scale, open stores at every opportunity, and carpet search for "people's fat and people's cream".
"And which porcelain shop has a fuel-efficient lamp?"
……
"Shopkeeper, do you have fuel-efficient lamps for sale here?"
"Yes, do you want to buy it too?"
"No, let me ask you, do many people buy this kind of lamp?"
"Not much."
"And do you remember who bought it?"
"Ouch, guest officer, how can I remember that people come and go every day these days?"
“……”
The four of them walked around and found that there were a total of five stores selling them, but in ancient times, there were no cameras, and there was no purchase registration form, so it was impossible to find out who bought such things from the stores; In addition, in the past, families with a little wealth had servants, and it was not expected that these shops would know which servants came to buy things.
"Ugh." Li Yaowei sighed, how can you check this specially?
"No clue." Fifth Ming also shook his head, "It seems that we can only hope that Sun County Ling can find out any suspicious characters." ”
……
……
The four returned home disappointed, only to see Sun Huai waiting in the living room.
"Sun Huai?"
"Brother Li, I found a key person!" When Sun Huai saw Li Yaoyu and the four of them coming back, he got up and said with a smile.
"What character?"
"The chaifu who delivered firewood to the Sun family in Jiahuifang, he said that when he delivered firewood to the Sun family yesterday morning, he saw a person going in with something in his hand, and because his expression was a little nervous, so the chaifu paid attention to it."
"And then?" Li Yaowei was a little excited, it seems that this guy is likely to be an arsonist.
"Then after Chai Fu went out, the man also went out, and it was less than a cup of tea. But the things in my hand are gone! ”
"Nine times out of ten, it's him, have you seen his face clearly?"
"Chai Fu looked at it from a distance a few times and said that it was the appearance of ordinary people, nothing peculiar, so he was not impressed."
Depend on! Li Yaowei scolded secretly, it seems that it is the only clue, but it is actually broken, you can't arrest the people in Chang'an and let Chai Fu recognize them one by one, right?
"Did you see where this man was going?" Fifth Yao asked.
"The streets are so wide and wide that you can't see them in a blink of an eye, but he says it's going east." Sun Huai sighed.
"East?"
Li Yaoyu asked Sun Huai: "What about the chaifu?" ”
"In the yamen."
Li Yaojian gritted his teeth, "You go and tell him, I'll give him a hundred yuan and let him wander around Chang'an today to see if he can recognize that person!" ”
"Mainly to the east and west cities." Fifth Ming added.
Li Yaoyu glanced at him and nodded.
Sun Huai thinks it's feasible, a hundred yuan, and the chaifu can't earn a year's firewood, so he shouldn't refuse. "Good. If I don't go to East City, my people won't be able to go. It is necessary to get the help of the people of Wannian County. ”
Li Yaoyu smiled, "It's okay, I'll go to their county order, they should give me face." ”
Wannian County Ya is located in Xuanyangfang in the west of Dongshi, Li Yaoji, Fifth Yao, Xiaoxuan, and Fifth Ming came to the county Ya, and after Li Yaoyi identified himself, the county order went out to greet him.
The county order of Wannian County is called Wu Jiacong, who was promoted from the local county, although the official position is greater than Li Yaoji, but he is weak, so naturally he will not be stupid enough to snub Li Yaoji, a five-grade official registered by the emperor.
After Wu Jia learned of Li Yaoji's experience, he immediately expressed severe condemnation and did his best to help solve the case.
After getting Wu Jiacong's permission, the four of them continued to wander around the porcelain workshop in the East Market. Soon after, Sun Huai also came with Chaifu.
"Brother Li, guess what we found again?"
"What?"
"In the Yong'an Canal west of Jiahuifang, my people found a piece of clothing."
"What clothes?"
"It doesn't matter, what matters is that there are inky stains on it, which have been identified as the glaze of porcelain, which belongs to the black glaze."
"Black glaze?" Fifth Ming wondered, "How can there be a glaze on the clothes, could it be that it fell off from the fuel-saving lamp and stuck to it?" ”
"The fuel lamp didn't stick to it so much, most likely, he was a kiln maker, or a porcelain shop."
