Li Shun was full of joy that the old man was praising him, he must know something, but even if he knew, he wouldn't say it anymore, "My lord, my strength is not good, so let's talk about it."

Lu Fei picked up the files on the ground one by one, and stacked them back one by one, forming layers of rings of different sizes on the ground, "Master Li, you see, similar cases have occurred in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of this city, if you divide the entire case into three sections before and after the time, and then connect the three sections in turn to form three rings, this, what can you see?" ”

Li Shun really didn't know this time, "What? ”

Lu Fei smiled slightly, walked to the chair, and sat down, "Master Li, do you know the layout of the buildings in this Susong County?" ”

"Born and raised, naturally understand something, what do you mean, adult?" Li Shun didn't quite understand what he meant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Fei was confident, smiled, pointed to a few rings on the ground and said, "I don't know where these crimes are at the moment, but if I guess correctly, they must have come layer by layer in the order in which I stacked the files."

Li Shun was a little unconvinced, and hurriedly squatted down and looked at it carefully, and said while watching, "My lord, you really know the world without leaving home, it's true."

Lu Fei also walked over and squatted, "The amount stolen each time is not large, and it is mainly in cash, and the few pieces of jewelry stolen are not very valuable, which shows that the criminal does not have much economic acumen, and may not be illiterate, and then look, the early time of the crime is in the middle of the night, and the later stage is basically in the second half of the night, which shows that the criminal is getting farther and farther away from the place where the crime was committed in turn, and it takes time to go back and forth, and he must rush back to the nest before dawn between this back and forth."

Li Shun seemed to understand a little, and nodded slowly, "After such an analysis by the adults, the case seems to be getting more and more eyebrow-raising, and every time the silver is lost, it is not big, and it can basically be ruled out that it was done by outsiders."

Lu Fei suddenly stood up, pointed to the door and said, "In this way, you go to Wang Xiancheng now, and ask him to find me a map of Susong County, the sooner the better, the more complete the better."

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this kind of headless case, according to modern criminal psychology, the perpetrator will generally choose to start in the environment he is familiar with, and then with more and more successes, the courage will also expand, and slowly find a farther target to start, so that over time a crime radius will be formed, and then connect these crime locations in series, it will be a circle with the criminal as the starting point, as long as the center of the circle is determined, so that the scope is narrowed a lot.

Of course, all this is just Lu Fei's inference, and whether the truth of the matter is like this will not be determined until the case is solved.

After a while, Li Shun took a scroll and hurriedly ran into the value, and closed the door casually, "My lord, do you think this is okay?" ”

Lu Fei spread the scroll on the table, and there was a line of words on the top of the scroll, 'Tang Susong County Governance and Interior and Exterior Map', this map is very vague, and there is basically no place name, but the basic pattern of Susong County can still be seen at a glance, and the houses and streets are also very clear, as for which street is called, of course, it is clear when you ask Li Shun.

Lu Fei asked Li Shun to mark all the locations of the crime on the map, using a point in the early case, a small circle in the middle stage, and a triangle in the later stage.

Half an hour passed, Li Shun stretched his arms and stood up from the chair, rubbed his somewhat sour eyes and said, "My lord, it's all marked, take a look"

Lu Fei was standing at the window riding the cool breeze, and when he heard the words, he came to the table, put the map right, looked at the face with a comfortable smile, and then picked up the brush and connected the three styles of icons on the map with three thin lines, so that it was much more intuitive.

"This" Lu Fei stopped his finger on the center point where the two straight lines intersected perpendicularly.

Li Shun leaned over and squinted at it, "Nanshikou?" Did you say that the culprit was at Nanshikou? ”

Nanshikou is a small place name in the south of the city, separated from the county government by a few streets, about two miles away from the south gate of the city, there is the intersection of the market in the south of the city, the shops are lined up, it is very prosperous.

Lu Fei said thoughtfully, "Nanshikou, okay, Master Li, I have wronged you for two days, and when this case is over, you can go home to see your wife and children, help me go to Nanshikou for a few days first, and I must find out this person."

Li Shun blinked and looked at him with a smile, "My lord, this is ...... There are no less than thousands of people coming and going every day in this southern market, and there are hundreds of permanent residents, so there are not enough people."

Of course, Lu Fei has already considered these most basic things, and the people who come and go must not be considered first, mainly for the permanent population, and then narrow down the scope.

If this man will steal, he must have a bad family; To be able to travel back and forth to the crime site within a few hours in the black light and blind fire must be some physical strength; If you can steal even a dozen dollars of jewelry, you must not have much knowledge; committed a crime in the middle of the night, worked all night, and must have slept during the day; Life was difficult before the theft occurred, but then life was greatly improved; Combining these features is much simpler.

After listening to Lu Fei's inference, Li Shun secretly praised: What a delicate mind. turned around and went out of the duty room to beckon the officials to squat.

Find the right location, but also deduce the basic characteristics of the criminal, and then wait for the completion of the work, this seems to have no clue at all headless case, I can't think of it in a few hours to clear up, it seems that everything as long as you find the right direction, everything is not difficult to go down the vine, a section of the road from the duty room to the back office, can actually bring the case back to life.

Waiting for Li Shun to leave, Lu Fei also stretched his arms and hummed a small tune to prepare to go back to the back of the Yaxiao for a while, there is still a dinner this night, eat this old county, don't eat for nothing, the most important thing is that he doesn't have half a piece in his pocket, this may be the poorest county magistrate in the history of the Tang Dynasty, penniless.

Lu Fei walked straight through the arch, and after a few steps, he heard Li Shun, who had just left, turn back again, and shout anxiously, "My lord, my lord."

"Is there anything else?" Lu Fei yawned.

"My lord, you just ask me to do things, but the little one has no power and no name in this county office, and those officials don't listen to me" Li Shun spread his hands and looked embarrassed.

Lu Fei ignored this, so he waved his hand and said to Li Shun, "You go and find the head of the official for me."

Not long after, Zhao Sihai, the head of the county government team, followed Li Shun to the back office, Zhao Sihai is a very gentle-looking person, less than thirty years old, his face is white and pure, if it weren't for the clothes of the government and the hanging knife on his waist, he really thought he was a scholar.

Zhao Sihai had seen Lu Zhixian in the public court, and as soon as he entered the back office, he bowed his hand to salute, "Zhao Sihai, the head of the county office, has seen the county master"

"Well, sit down" Lu Fei casually gestured to the seat in the hall.

Li Shun and Zhao Sihai looked at each other, did this county master say the wrong thing, how can there be their seats in the back office, if there are relatives, this back office is equivalent to the harem of the Forbidden City, so please do not enter.

"The little one doesn't dare, if the adult wants something, please just ask" Lu Fei's casual words made this Zhao Sihai feel deeply, the approachable magistrate may not necessarily be a good official, at least if it is bad, it will not be bad.

Lu Fei saw that he refused to sit, and then he remembered that this was in the hierarchical Tang Dynasty, forget it, if you don't sit, you won't sit, "Zhao Bantou, our buddies will be colleagues in the future, don't need so much etiquette, don't feel comfortable, just be casual, ah"

Li Shun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes rolled to Lu Fei's side, and he whispered in his ear, "Master, it's hard to talk about us, you have to hold it in front of your subordinates, you can't lose your official body, otherwise they won't obey you."

Where can Lu Fei listen to this, he finally became a county master, a dignified leader, and he can't even speak or have a private expression, so this official is too much of a failure.

Zhao Sihai's heart is hot, for thousands of years, there has never been a county magistrate and a servant who calls him a brother and a brother, the servant has been a ninth-rate since ancient times, and beggars who ask for food, laughing Qinglou women, singing actors and other characters, the next three generations are not eligible to participate in the scientific examination, not to the point of exhaustion No one wants to engage in this profession, which is why ninety percent of this kind of people are passed down from generation to generation.

In today's view, the status of the servant is equivalent to the criminal police, traffic police, police, explosion-proof police, and so on, and now the hybrid of various police forces, but the status is one day and one place, and there is no salary, no official establishment, sometimes when you meet a good-hearted county master, you can give a little hard money, if you come to a week, you have to go out to ask for water.

Of course, there is no official salary, but in fact, the income of these people is sometimes higher than the salary of the county master, where does the money come from, of course, there is a way, which one reports the case, how much is the police fee, meal allowance and so on, if it is a place where the law and order is not good, then the income is relatively more, the police rate is high, where to arrest a person, how to arrest it, whether it is civil or martial, that is all exquisite, and the cost is naturally indispensable.

Zhao Sihai looked at Lu Fei with a grateful face, "Thank you for your love."

Lu Fei sighed and shook his head, "There is nothing else to do when I call you here, just to get to know each other in advance, then, this, Li Shun, Master Li, is my lord's left and right hand, by the way, I happen to have a case, I want you to help him"

Zhao Sihai's favorability of this new county without a little official tone has skyrocketed, and he wants to do what he says, but when he thinks of Wang Xiancheng, he becomes careful again, although he is the head of the team and is in charge of the county's officials, but most of the people's hearts are towards the county, and everyone has taken a lot of his benefits.

So Zhao Sihai replied very carefully, "I don't know which case the adult is talking about, do you want to inform Wang Xiancheng in advance?"

Lu Fei looked sideways, and muttered in his heart: I really let Li Shun tell me, this Wang Xiancheng really has some foundation in the county government, I still can't play it anymore, it seems that taking out Wang Xiancheng is already a top priority.

"Oh, do you want to tell him that you will look at it yourself, I will leave the case to Master Li, you just listen to his arrangement, okay, that's it, you go to handle the case, master, I'm tired, I want to rest" Lu Fei said very easily, and the implication was almost to say, anyway, master, I have already had trouble with the county, you can see which side you are on, and give this choice to Zhao Sihai.

As soon as the two left, Lu Fei lay on the chair beautifully, confused, recuperating, waiting for the evening reception.

When night falls, the lights in the county are on, the streets and alleys are shouting and barking, and the most lively nightlife before the curfew begins.

The county yali is also brightly lit, the first day of the new knowledge of the county to take office, the original incumbent of the bureaucracy has a lot of work to be sorted out overnight in order to report to the new knowledge of the county the next day, and more people are busy listing their achievements in office one by one, boasting about themselves, just for tomorrow when the new master can have a good head, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the same is true of this small county office, but every time the new county arrives will make a big transfer to personnel, everyone wants to use their own intimate and loyal subordinates, The grinding gun is not bright and light.

After the county government went to bed, the two officials each carried a lantern and lined up outside the door, and there were bursts of snoring in the dim room, Lu Fei was lying on his back on the chair, and he was talking incoherently in his dreams.

"Hehe, it's delicious..... Boss, let's have an egg fried rice, put less rice and more eggs...... Hi! Beautiful ......"

'Smack! Lu Fei, who was asleep, slapped his mouth violently, turned over and sat up in a daze, and the two officials hurriedly pushed the door and ran in with the lantern when they heard the sound, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Fei was stunned, came to his senses, stretched out his palm, and looked at it through the light, only to see a pool of soybean-sized blood stains in the center of his palm, and two mosquitoes were slapped.

"How long has this place not lived, mosquitoes grow bigger than flies, go, find me a plate of mosquito coils" Lu Fei cleaned up the blood stains on the clothes of a servant.

The two officials were stunned for a moment, and one of them said, "Mosquito coils? The master is talking about mosquito repellent grass, this has been prepared for a long time, I am afraid of smoking the master, just wait for the master to leave the house and ignite it."

When he woke up, Lu Fei didn't feel sleepy, and stretched out his arms and stood up slowly from the chair, "Who is that, what time is it?" Oh, what time is it? ”

"Master, the little one is called Heizi" A servant hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, smiled, and pointed to another servant with his chin, "His name is Sun Dayan, and he is here to serve the master, and it is almost 7 o'clock in the evening, and you have slept for more than an hour, sir."

Sun Dayan was busy and grinned, bending over to the ground, "At noon at the yamen, the little one with eyes and beads collided with the master, and I hope that the master will not remember the villain."

Lu Fei is not that stingy person, yawning and waving his hand and walking towards the door, "Don't blame those who don't know, big eyes, where did Wang Xiancheng go?" ”

After taking a nap, Lu Fei felt that he was having no food in his stomach and was making a lot of noise, so he remembered the dinner at night.
