Chapter XVIII: Under Investigation

Dong Ce couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this woman's style, sifted the flour and said, "I haven't been in the kitchen." ”

"Hey, how do you know?" Fang Shuwei was probably curious.

"Nonsense!" Dong Ce kept shaking his head in his heart, just this kind of person, he actually did it quickly, this Daning Dynasty is enlightened, especially after the Queen Mother lowered the curtain to listen to the government, many court institutions are not taboo men and women, but don't get these goods, what kind of IQ is this, negative number, right?

"Hey, I'm asking you." Fang Shuwei saw that Dong Ce actually dared to ignore her, and couldn't help but raise her sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and her hatred instantly filled her jade countenance.

Dong Ce's movements in his hand stopped, turned his head and raised his eyes to look at Fang Shuwei, and said angrily: "I know, you are purely here to scare people, but unfortunately, you are too beautiful, this is going to stand in front of other criminals, it is purely for people to admire, I advise you to change your career as soon as possible." ”

Fang Shuwei couldn't help but be stunned for a while, she was stunned for a long time, and suddenly her jade cheeks turned red, and she kicked Dong Ce's side with one leg, and shouted angrily in her mouth: "How does the old lady want you to take care of it, I think you are itchy and begging for beating!" ”

Dong Ce stood up suddenly, making Fang Shuwei kick into the air, he walked to the stone bench opposite and sat down, pulled up his sleeves, lowered his body and approached the table, grabbed a handful of sifted flour in his palm, and blew lightly on the dagger.

Fang Shuwei couldn't do it, and was ignored, and the anger rose in an instant!

Fang Shuwei, who had never received such a bird breath, immediately took out a bundled leather whip from behind her waist, and was about to give the hateful man in front of her a taste of what it means to be hot, when suddenly, a heavy cough came from her side.

"Ahh When Fang Shuwei heard the prestige, she saw three men standing under the corridor, and suddenly her little face turned white with fright, and she stood still in fear, bowing her head and shouting softly to the middle-aged man at the head: "Dad!" ”

Fang Mu, who was dressed in a black satin red robe, wearing a gold-veined gauze on his head, but was a little shorter than Shi Mao, but the mighty Fang Shuwei glared fiercely, and said coldly: "What are you doing here?" The murder of the butcher in East Second Lane has been clarified? ”

Facing her father, who was almost a head shorter than herself, Fang Shuwei was more honest than a quail, and she was even more panicked in her heart, squeaking for a moment, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, turned sideways and pointed at Dong Ce, who was blowing flour, and said: "Brother Yan has already gone to investigate the murder of the butcher, and his daughter is also handling the case, so he is cooperating with this kid to investigate his father's case." ”

"How many times have I told you, if you want to call me a general arrest in the yamen, you have to call yourself a subordinate." Fang Mu snorted coldly, so frightened that Fang Shuwei hurriedly clenched her fists and added: "Yes, Mr. Fang, his subordinates understand!" ”

Fang Mu then set his eyes on Dong Ce, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw Dong Ce blowing flour all over the dagger, especially the handle of the knife, which was covered with a thick layer of white dust on both sides, and then he slowly blew away the flour on it, and people were puzzled.

"Total arrest, he is Dong Yuanchang's son!" A head catcher behind Fang Mu said respectfully.

"Oh, he is Dong Yuanchang's son, his filial piety is commendable, and you will do your best to thoroughly investigate this case, you know." Fang Mu also admired Dong Ce very much for mentioning Dong Yuanchang's reversal of the case without fear of serious crimes, in fact, he also saw that there were many doubts in this case, and the biggest reason was that Dong Yuanchang had no reason to kill! It's a pity that Dong Yuanchang has confessed, and it's not easy for them to catch fast.

There is no professional ethics to investigate to the end in these years, there was no case in the huge Jinling Mansion that day, especially recently, the victims have become more and more dishonest, they are all busy, and it is naturally better to have more than one thing than less.

He looked at it suspiciously for a while, just as Fang Mu thought that there were still important things to deal with and could not be delayed, but this footstep had just been raised, and suddenly it was put back in place.

Because he saw that Dong Ce had blown out the flour on the dagger, but there was still some residue, and it formed a familiar pattern one by one.

Fang Mu seemed to have seen these patterns somewhere, but he couldn't remember them for a while, and was pondering, when he suddenly saw Dong Ce take out a ball of wet dough from the bowl, and the handle of the knife carefully pressed it lightly on the dough, and finally left a circle of dark red marks on the dough.

"What is this?" Fang Mu's curiosity was aroused, and he walked out of the corridor to Dong Ce's side, lowered his head and stared at the fine red marks on the dough, and said curiously: "This seems to be ...... Fingerprint? ”

Dong Ce nodded and praised: "Mr. Fang has a good eye. ”

"Then I wonder what is the use of taking this fingerprint?" Fang Mu was curious.

"Of course there is, and it's very useful, because everyone's fingerprints are different, and everywhere someone touches them, they will leave fingerprints, and so ......on."

As soon as Dong Ce said this, Fang Mu couldn't help but be shocked: "You can know who has ever touched this thing!" ”

"Exactly!" Dong Ce said, then picked up the dagger and said: "This dagger has obviously been touched by more than one person, but there is only one ironclad evidence of the person holding the knife in his backhand, and the fingerprints he left on the handle have been rubbed down by me, I guess it was not left by the murderer, or left by my father." ”

"Can you tell the difference?" Not to mention that Fang Mu was shocked, the two catchers and Fang Shuwei on the side were all shocked.

"Of course, if you look at the bloodstained fingerprints on the end of the handle of this knife, only the thumb is so big, if this person is not holding the knife with his backhand, I really don't know how he left his thumb fingerprints." Dong Ce's explanation made Fang Mu and the others look surprised.

As fast catchers, how can they not know what is at stake!

"Your dad won't stab someone backhanded?" Fang Shuwei didn't have a good airway.

Dong Ce rolled his eyes, but before he could speak, Fang Mu said first: "It's possible, but judging from the horizontal wounds of the female corpse, this probability is too small, firstly, the knife is rarely held horizontally with the backhand, and secondly, before he stabs the deceased in the abdomen, he has to cover her mouth, don't you think it's weird to attack people in such a way?" ”

Fang Shuwei was looked at by her father, and couldn't help lowering her head and didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that Fang Shuwei didn't even refute a few words, Fang Mu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, looked at Dong Ce and asked, "Dong Gongzi, do you want to say this?" If so, I advise you to give up. ”

But contrary to Fang Mu's expectations, Dong Ce shook his head and said: "No, if you start from behind, there is a high chance that this kind of scar will be left, and what I want to say is still the same sentence, this fingerprint is not my father's, then it can only be the murderer, the arrester who gave me evidence said quickly, except for my father, only he has touched this dagger at present." ”

"Well, you're a smart guy!" Fang Mu smiled, looking at Dong Ce with a deep appreciation, which made Fang Shuwei on the side frown.

After Fang Mu finished speaking, he stared at the dough for a moment and said, "Are you really sure that there are no same fingerprints in the world?" ”

"I don't believe you can try." Dong Ce said with a smile.

"There are so many people in the world, how can you try this? You're obviously talking cool things. Seeing that his father's attitude towards Dong Ce was getting better and better, Fang Shuwei was extremely unhappy.

"You don't need people in the world, as long as you let all the people in the yamen print their fingerprints for comparison, it will naturally be clear at a glance!" Fang Mu knew very well that it was only a matter of time before he could prove that this matter was troublesome, as long as he could not find the same among the ten people, he could slowly start the verification, if all the fingerprints in their yamen were different, then he could ask the prefect to issue a general order to find those with the same fingerprints from the whole mansion, and they only needed to find the same fingerprints from the whole mansion after ten days and a half months, after visiting and investigating, they naturally came to a conclusion.

It is undeniable that Fang Mu's mind turned very fast, and he understood the pros and cons in an instant, and thought of the fastest verification method!

"Yang Zhutou, this matter will be handed over to you, and you must collect the fingerprints of everyone in the yamen as soon as possible." Fang Mu acted decisively and did it when he thought of it, which made Dong Ce admire it very much!

Originally, Dong Ce thought that he had to spit out a lot of words in order to persuade these ignorant people, but he never thought that people were not stupid, and they would immediately start investigating after knowing the feasibility.

"I think it's just a dream!" Fang Shuwei frowned suddenly, raised her thumb and compared it with the fingerprints on the dough for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I just can't tell the difference, what is the difference between this person's fingerprints and mine?" ”

I sweat!

Dong Ce rolled his eyes and said: "If you can't see it like this, you can find two people to distinguish between the fingerprints printed on two sheets of translucent oiled paper, and then overlap them in the sun, wouldn't it be clear at a glance!" ”

"Well, this method can indeed greatly reduce the time of comparison, Yang Zhutou remember." Fang Mu looked at Dong Ce approvingly, and stroked the short beard.

"Cut, carving insect skills." Fang Shuwei whispered with disdain.

Dong Ce didn't bother to pay attention to this ignorant woman, because he knew very well that once you got on the bar with this kind of woman, you would definitely be caught by her if you walked on the street and spit.

"What do you think of your father's case?" Fang Mu asked suddenly.

Dong Ce thought for a while and said, "If evidence of another murderer can be found at the crime scene, I don't think my father needs to stay inside!" ”

"Crime scene!" Fang Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Well, this word is quite fresh and very conforming, so let's let Fang Zhu Kuai and Shi Zhu Kuai assist you, find out the evidence of another murderer as soon as possible, and your father can be released as soon as possible." ”

"Ah, no, Dad, you actually let your daughter ......" Fang Shuwei was anxious again, but Fang Mu's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Didn't you say that you were helping others, why, you want to retreat before the case is over!" Okay, let's just go home! ”

"Don't, Dad, can't my daughter promise it?" Fang Shuwei said aggrieved.

"Hmph, if you want to stay at home, you have to go to the yamen to cause trouble, and besides, you will call me to arrest me here in the future!" After that, Fang Mu snorted coldly and turned around and left.

It can be seen that Fang Mu is extremely disapproving of Fang Shuwei's going to the yamen to catch fast, but the queen mother ordered that all women in the world can be men, so this girl who worships her father jumped out of the boudoir and threw herself into this man's world.

In the Ning Dynasty to overturn the case, in addition to the court thinks that the case is too suspicious, from the court Wei sent someone down to investigate, in the people there are no more than two, one is that you sacrifice your life to use a large number of yamen manpower to work for you, and the other is the new unique profession of the Ning Dynasty, similar to the detective of the future generations, the former is too dangerous, so I don't want to pay for myself, and the latter, generally depends on how much the suspect is worth!

And Dong Ce, he doesn't care about the former at all, let alone the latter, he doesn't believe that Tanlang can be better than him when he is killed!

Although Dong Ce has never been a detective, he has read some novels and movies, coupled with his keen insight, it is really not a matter to investigate a small case in this year.

In an elegant attic in the west of Jinling City, Shi Mao stood in the attic and said very unpleasantly: "I said eldest sister, why do you have to pull me into the water?" ”

"It's my, I'm going to blame you and my dad." Fang Shuwei snorted coldly.

"Ahem, how dare I blame the master for always catching adults, it's not all that kid who is to blame!" Shi Mao looked at Dong Ce's back, and his heart was extremely depressed.

"Come here, help me make a note." Dong Ce suddenly screamed.

Shi Mao glanced at the eldest sister's head, and when he saw that he was talking to him, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, walked over with a pen and paper, and said lazily: "Say it." ”

"The compartment gauze curtain is broken, the copper hook of the curtain is seriously deformed, it is guessed that it is caused by pulling, the side wooden bar in the gauze curtain is also damaged, the broken scratches are located on the ground three feet four inches high, and there are broken inferior jade pieces below, and it is initially suspected that it is a scratch made by the inferior jade belt, after the compartment gauze curtain, there is a wooden porcelain table that has been moved, and the range of movement is judged from the dust marks, there should be half an inch and five millimeters, and the porcelain bottle on the wooden platform is intact, guessing that it should be hit lightly......"

Dong Ce stretched out his hand and gestured while dictating, and after he finished speaking, when he got up, he saw Shi Mao in a daze, and the book in his left hand was pale and inkless, and he couldn't help frowning: "Have you remembered?" ”

"Ah......? Oh! Shi Mao was stunned for a while, suddenly woke up, couldn't help blushing, and said in a low voice: "You say it again?" ”

"!"

Dong Ce scolded secretly, but he was helpless, so he had to narrate it again.
