At the same time, after being surprised, Qu San'er also shouted out to Qu Lai: "Fourth master, the villain is wronged, how can I do something that ignores other people's money bags?" It seems that he is indeed full of grievances.

Facing everyone's suspicions, Yang Chen couldn't help but sneer: "At this time, you still want to quibble, it seems that you have to make your words clear." As he spoke, he pulled Qu San'er to several onlookers, his hand tightened, and he opened his hand again under the pain.

"Look, what's in his hands?" Yang Chen asked a few people in front of him. These Yiyan carefully looked at Qu San'er's hand for a while, and then looked at him blankly, not knowing how to reply. Fortunately, there was a flexible mind, and after thinking about it, he said: "He has a lot of oil on his hands!" ”

"That's it." Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction: "He sells oil cakes on weekdays, and his hands are naturally covered with oil all year round." In this way, as long as it is something that he has touched, it will always be contaminated with oil and water to some extent. He said that the copper coins in this money bag were all saved by selling oil cakes, so look at this bowl, is there anything missing? ”

After such a reminder, everyone came to their senses. Yes, if the money is indeed owned by Qu San'er, falling into the water will naturally bring out the oil flowers. But now the water is clear, and there is no change at all. Naturally, there is no need to say more about the truth.

In order to prove the correctness of what he said, Yang Chen took another copper coin from the money bag, rubbed it twice on Qu San'er's hand, and then threw it into the bowl. This time, the contrast was even more obvious, not long after the money entered the water, a thin layer of oil floated up, and then he looked at Qu San'er, who was pale: "Now, what else do you have to say?" ”

Qu San'er's body trembled, and as soon as his legs were weak, he knelt down: "The villain knows that he is wrong, it is the villain's greed for a while, so he will be blinded by lard, and he will have the idea of leaving this bag of money." Please spare the villain, I don't dare to ...... anymore" As he spoke, he kowtowed to Yang Chen.

When the surrounding people saw this, they all scolded Qu San'er for being despicable, and they still believed him before, but it turned out to be such a greedy and hypocritical guy. Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything, just sneered: "The official has already given you a chance just now, since you refused to repent before, then I only have official business, and the crime of your false accusation cannot be washed away." As he spoke, the detective grabbed Qu San'er, who had already been frightened and weakened, picked up one of them, and pushed him out.

After taking two steps, he remembered something, and shouted to Hu Sui, who was still standing aside, "Take your money bag and be careful in the future." Before the words fell, his hand shook, and the money bag was thrown into the other party's hand, and he quickly reached out to take it, and hurriedly thanked him repeatedly.

At this time, the surrounding people woke up, and there was a little more admiration in their eyes when they looked at the fourth master, and they praised it one after another. However, Yang Chen didn't take these flatteries and praises too seriously, but just twisted Qu San'er, whose face was like ashes, and went to the county office.

In the crowd, a man dressed in a fast hunting suit looked at this scene, his face was full of amazement, and he said softly: "Originally, I heard the fourth master say that he was an official of the Criminal Department of the capital, and I didn't take it seriously, but now it seems that he does have some means." Maybe he can find a way to solve this case! With a decision, he wanted to catch up, but as soon as he raised his foot to exert force, he pulled the injury between his hips, which made him gasp, and his movements slowed down.

Yang Chen didn't know what was going on behind him, he took someone into custody, his steps were fast, and in a flash, he came to the county government of Biguan County, which looked a little dilapidated. Since it has come, there is a tradition of officials not cultivating the government, and in addition, it is located in a remote area, which is poorer than the Central Plains Jiangnan, so this county government looks even more shabby.

However, Yang Chen was already accustomed to seeing it, and soon passed through the eight-character wall, passed through the lobby, and entered the second hall where the officials were doing serious things. However, he did not hand over the person to the county magistrate, but came to a row of huts in the west, and said to the two people who were doing things in one of the rooms: "Lao Li, there is a prisoner who steals someone's money bag and wants to frame the other party, you can watch and deal with it!" ”

When the people inside heard this, they looked up and saw that it was Yang Chen, so they hurriedly laughed and rushed out: "This person has made such a big face, and you actually took the fourth master to arrest him personally." "This is the chief warden of the torture room in the sixth room of the county government, named Li Xing.

In addition to the county order, county officials and other officials, there are also six rooms of the six departments of the imperial court who are responsible for the relevant affairs in the county. The case was not all personally interrogated by the county magistrate, but was mostly handled by the prison officer in charge of the prison, so Yang Chen sent the person here.

After briefly talking to Li Xing about the relevant matters, Yang Chen said goodbye and left.

Just as he walked out of the public room, a person suddenly came over, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Fourth master, you are really a good means, today really opened the eyes of the villain." ”

"The little skill of carving insects is not worth mentioning." Yang Chen replied casually, and when he looked at the person again, he laughed: "Lao Huang, why are you so polite to me?" The person in front of him is Huang Feng, the head catcher in the yamen, and he is a friend who has a good relationship with him in the county yamen.

"Cough, isn't that a little one who didn't know Taishan in the past, and today I can be regarded as having learned your skills. In a few words, that kid had nothing to hide, he really deserved to be an adult from the Criminal Department of the capital. Huang Feng sighed again: "In order to show a little respect for you, I want to invite you to go to Xingyu Building for two drinks, and please don't shirk it." As he spoke, he looked at each other with a look of anticipation.

Yang Chen just wanted to say that he had drunk today, so he didn't bother. But when the words came to his lips, after looking at the other party again, he thought of something again, and nodded: "Then thank you for your hospitality." Let's go? ”

"Your Excellency, please!" Seeing that he agreed, Huang Feng was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down and led forward, letting Yang Chen walk in front. Then he himself took steps to follow, but his steps were cautious, and he did not dare to go too fast.

The conversation on their side was seen by many colleagues, and everyone couldn't help but wonder a little, why did Huang Zhutou, who had always been very arrogant and didn't take his boss seriously, suddenly treated the fourth master so respectfully?

————

On the second floor of Xingyu Building, the largest restaurant in Piguan County, Yang Chen and Huang Feng sat opposite each other, with several plates of meat and vegetables in front of them, plus a pot of Shanxi's famous Fenjiu. Just this table of wine and food is enough to cover Huang Zhutou's more than half a month, but he didn't look distressed at all, and he kept toasting with Yang Chen.

After drinking three glasses of good wine and eating another sauce elbow, Yang Chen put his chopsticks aside and said with a smile: "Say, why did you suddenly invite me to drink today?" There is no need to beat around the bush between you and me, let's get straight to the point. ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, the little one does have something to ask for." Huang Feng is also a happy person, and when he saw that the other party asked directly, he also replied honestly: "You have also seen that my body has been very unfavorable for the past two days, and it is all because of this incident." ”

"Oh? Are you referring to the fact that the old man chased you and asked you to handle the case during these days? "Although he doesn't care much about the affairs in the yamen, Yang Chen still knows about such a big thing.

"That's it......" Huang Feng sighed: "Who would have thought that there would be such a murder case in my small Biguan County, which is an accident that I haven't encountered for many years." The eldest lord was naturally nervous, so he forced us errand boys to work hard to find out the real culprit. But this case is really a bit strange, and my brothers and I have been investigating it for a long time, but we still don't have a clue. It's been ten days, so the eldest lord was angry, so he pulled us all down and hit the board, and said that if there was no progress in five days, we would have to be beaten again. The little ones really have no choice, and I ask the fourth master to help. ”

At this time, once there is a big case like a homicide case in the local area, the pressure on the government is very great, and in order to give an explanation to the superiors, they will often try their best to solve the case as soon as possible. However, it is impossible for the official to check in person, so he handed over the errand to the following, and set a date, as long as he could not give an explanation within the time limit, he had to listen to the training and be punished, which is the so-called chasing comparison.

And the consequence of this is that in order to reduce the hardships for themselves, and at the same time solve the case and make meritorious contributions, they will arbitrarily force the crime on a person who seems to be suspicious. In this way, unjust cases are naturally indispensable.

As for this time, Huang Feng didn't use this hand, and there was no way to do it. Because he has not been able to find a suspicious suspect in this murder case so far, it is difficult for him to come out even if he wants to plant a murderer at will. In desperation, he had no choice but to come to Yang Chen.

After Yang Chen listened to his request, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Is this case really not a clue until now?" ”

"yes, what the hell. I've handled a lot of cases, but like the murder I encountered this time, there were almost no clues, but it was the first time I encountered it. Only when an adult beats a case-handling master from the Criminal Department of the capital like this can the murderer be found out. As he spoke, he praised Yang Chen again.

However, the latter didn't react, just groaned for a while, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay." But it's getting late now, and tomorrow I'll look into the case with you. "This Huang Feng has a good relationship with him, and today he begged for each other like this, so Yang Chen naturally couldn't refuse. Of course, there is a bit of this that he is quietly thinking about it, and he wants to relive the taste of investigating the case when he was in the Criminal Department, but it is also very difficult to say......
