Returning to the palace, one news after another came that when several heavyweights of the Guangfu Silver Horn visited the factory to listen to the use of funds, a factory building in the shipyard was set on fire and detonated, and a factory guard was killed at the scene.

The tall chimneys still spewed black smoke, but the rows of factories seemed to fall into a dead silence, the non-stop clanging of steam hammers and the roar of machines disappeared, and on the island, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, the infantry patrol bayonets were shining, and the murderous atmosphere was high.

The stone lion lobby with teeth and claws is more like a yamen, but in fact it is the office of the agency, that is, the offices of the two chief executives, Martin and Liu Qi.

At this time, Ye Zhao stood in front of the glass window with his hands in his hands, listening to Liu Qi's report on the loss, a workshop in the carpentry factory was bombed, it should have been planted with a detonator in advance, casualties, in addition to the guards who were killed at the scene, there was also a British technician who was killed in the dormitory, which was found during the strict inspection of the whole factory just now.

Liu Qi suspected that the detonator explosives used to blow up the carpentry factory were brought in by the British mechanic, and that the perpetrators killed people before committing the crime, because the more than 160 workers in the woodworking factory who had the conditions to commit the crime were all Chinese, and the perpetrators were inevitably Chinese, and the shipyard was extremely strict in its entry and exit, but sometimes when it came across an arrogant Western mechanic, it was inevitable that one of them would be opened on the net, because the perpetrator must have bought off the Western workers to smuggle the detonators and explosives in.

Poof, the big man who knelt on the ground was the shipyard garrison manager, surnamed Yang, who was already scared into a cold sweat at this time, and kowtowed again and again: "Lord Wang, you should die for your humble position, you should die for your humble position!" ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Get up first, don't talk about him for your fault, but this Chinese and foreign workers must be treated equally, what's wrong with foreigners?" Wouldn't they be a thug? ”

"Yes, ignorance!" Captain Yang kowtowed again, but he didn't dare to be verbose, he got up and retreated to the side, now how many major things are waiting for the prince to decide, how to cure his own crimes is simply insignificant now, and then he can't say that the prince is angry, so he cut off his head.

Ye Zhao looked at several police officers in black uniforms beside Captain Yang, Gao Qin, the general office of the Provincial Patrol and Arrest Bureau, and Zou Shouming, the chief inspector of the Guangzhou Bureau, were among them.

"Gao Ju, what do you think of this criminal?"

Gao Qin knew that this was calling him, and he was fooling in his heart, what could he do? Torture and interrogation. Standing two steps forward, he bowed down and said: "Lord Wang, I am humble and foolish, so I can only ask one by one to find out the real culprit." "I also know in my heart that this hope is extremely slim, and under severe punishment, how can I distinguish the truth from the false? I'm afraid that more than half of them will be punished, and they can't help but confess that they are the perpetrators.

Ye Zhao naturally understood their methods, and frowned slightly: "What if you can't find the real murderer?" ”

Gao Qin gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Then with a humble and foolish opinion, I cut off all of them, and they were all gone." ”

Ye Zhao looked at Zou Shouming again, but saw that Zou Shouming also nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with the words of the general office.

Ye Zhao frowned and was silent, more than a hundred lives, just cut off his head? That's really better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one, but if you can't correct the real murderer in this matter, it will become a big joke. Although it was only a carpentry factory that was bombed and could be rebuilt very quickly, the impact of this incident was extremely bad.

Iron and steel mills, shipyards, and arsenals are extremely vigilant, and after confronting Mai Mang with the tip of the Northern Dynasties, they will take the safety of several sensitive industry factories in Guangzhou as the top priority, but they don't want to have an accident, if they can't find the real culprit but cut off more than 100 heads in one go, the core spirit of Guangzhou's new deal will be destroyed, and the people will be panicked.

Ye Zhao paced and did not speak.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, but it was Grandma Jin'er and her party who arrived, and they were stopped from a distance, and there were guards outside the hall who knew Grandma Jin'er, and hurriedly rushed over to let the vigilant riflemen go.

Grandma Jin Er is wearing a red and glamorous cheongsam that is slit to the crook of her slender calf and legs, her slender waist is twisted lightly when she walks, faintly revealing light-colored thin cotton socks, and her calf curves are soft, which makes people think about it, with a pair of dazzling red high heels, noble and charming, and delicate, as if she was born to charm men.

"Scared the hell out of me." Jiner's grandmother said "complaining" when she entered the room, her voice was charming and charming, which was even more heartwarming.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Are you still afraid?" ”

Gao Qin, who was secretly looking at Grandma Jin's mesmerizing beautiful legs and red high heels, was startled, it turned out that he was quite familiar with the prince, and he didn't dare to look at it again.

Grandma Jin Er secretly threw a flattering look at Ye Zhao, but she was blessed: "Lord Jin'an." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Come on, get up." ”

Grandma Jin Er got up and stood aside, Ye Zhao pondered for a while, and said to Gao Qin: "You tell me the results of the preliminary investigation again." ”

"Yes, the carpentry factory building was blown up by the explosives planted in advance, and it is estimated that the patrol guard found the thief at that time, but was strangled by the thief with white silk, and he had time to blow the siren in the future, because he thought that the thief must have practiced the trick......"

"Wait." Ye Zhao interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "You said he was strangled to death by Bai Aya?" ”

"Yes." Gao Qin replied a little blankly.

Ye Zhao paced two steps and asked, "What about the patrol corpse?" What about white silk? ”

Gao Qin said: "It's still there, it's still outside, and it's not been collected." The heart said that he didn't blame himself for doing things, and hurriedly said: "This is a lowly job." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Put that white silk ...... Forget it, I'll go see it myself. ”

Everyone in the house was stunned, what was there to look at the corpse.

But the prince has already said: "Lead the way in front of the head." Everyone didn't dare to say more, and a swarm of bees followed the prince out of the house, only Jin'er Grandma stayed. I don't go to see the corpse, it's disgusting and terrifying.

Under a willow tree, the corpse of the deceased patrol guard was lying on a stretcher, covered with a white cloth, Ye Zhao sighed softly in his heart, folded his hands, bowed slightly, and bowed to the corpse.

"Where's Hakuaya?" Ye Zhao turned his head and asked.

Gao Qin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the little colonel guarding the corpse next to him: "Where is Bai Aya, where did you go?" ”

"The villain, the villain doesn't know." Xiao Xiaoxiao's face turned white with fright, is that white silk strip? I really don't know where I lost it.

"Find it!" Gao Qin stomped his feet, and the little school immediately ran away.

At the end of the meal, the little colonel ran over with a snort, carrying a long strip of white silk in his hand, but it was dirty, and it was obvious that he had been stepped on a few times, and when he came closer, he knelt and offered it with both hands. Seeing that it was silk cloth, Ye Zhao was happy at first, but when he saw this silk cloth scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, and then ordered a few words to the guards around him, one guard rushed away, and the other guard picked up a dead branch and carefully picked up the white silk cloth from the middle.

Ye Zhao said to Gao Qin's police officers: "You come with me." Then he turned to Liu Qi, Martin and other shipyard managers: "You guys go and see how you can restore the normal operation of the shipyard as soon as possible." ”

Everyone was busy receiving orders, some of them dispersed in a hurry, and some followed behind Ye Zhao, all of them looking confused.

Why do people go to find this white silk, naturally in order to solve the case, using his chemical knowledge to extract fingerprints, if it is an ordinary cloth, there is nothing that can be done, but today's silk cloth is smooth, the pores are fine, and the water absorption is poor, although it is difficult to extract fingerprints, but there is always hope. Today's health is not comparable to that of future generations, not to mention that this murderer works in a factory, and the oil on his hands must be extremely heavy, but now this silk cloth is ruined, not to mention that when the murderer strangled the guards, he must have crumpled the white silk into a ball, but I don't know if there can be a smooth surface that happens to leave his fingerprints.

Thinking about it, Ye Zhao felt that there was little hope, and asked someone to lead the way to the dormitory of the killed British mechanic, but he didn't find anything valuable.

Back in the lobby of the office, Ye Zhao sat down to drink tea, and asked several police officers to sit, led by Gao Qin, who sat in turn, but they were all a little dazed.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Wait a minute, you patrol and arrest, you have to think carefully about how to solve the case, and when it is too peaceful in the future, this case-solving rate is a standard to measure your incompetence." How to solve this kind of case of murder and robbery, you must use your mind, don't eat the old yellow calendar, don't limit yourself to Western detective skills, and learn to use your brains. In the past ten or eight years, we will be able to sum up a set of theoretical things that can be used as the basic teaching materials for patrolling and arresting and investigating cases, and then slowly improve them in the future. ”

Gao Qin hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

If we want the real development of social civilization, it is necessary for the social division of labor and the ideological emancipation of all trades, and almost all walks of life can affect the development of science and technology in the subtle details, and only by playing together can we make real progress in social civilization and bring about the overall scientific and technological progress.

Ye Zhao said that he was forced by the situation, and he also wanted to increase the knowledge of these police officers, but he wanted to do his old business in chemistry, even if he couldn't extract the fingerprints of criminals, it was enough for them to see a new world.

Ye Zhao looked at Grandma Jin Er again, and said with a smile: "Jin Feng, do you know that there is no second person in the world whose fingerprints are the same. ”

Grandma Jin Er put down the little blue flower teacup and said, "The slave maid has heard a little. Although his status was promoted to Fujin, in the face of Ye Zhao, he always called himself a slave, as respectful as a slave, and kowtowed from time to time, which satisfied Ye Zhao's manly vanity to the fullest.

Gao Qin and the others were stunned when they heard the words of Wang Ye and Jiner's grandmother. Ye Zhao had already looked at them and said with a smile: "I don't have to hide it from you, Jin Feng is this king Fujin." ”

Gao Qin and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye to Grandma Jiner, and apologized repeatedly, facing them, Grandma Jiner was a different demeanor, she was used to being arrogant in the Tao family, and she had seen a lot of scenes, and now the identity of the person in front of her is more noble, but no matter how noble she is, there is no difference between her and the Tao family in front of the princess.

"He who does not know is not guilty." Grandma Jiner's tone was light, her red lips spit lightly, and the speed of the change in her face reminded Ye Zhao of Wang Xifeng, and she smiled in her heart, but Grandma Jin'er was so energetic that she liked herself.

Ye Zhao turned to Gao Qin and the others and said, "Get up and sit." After a few people sat down, he said: "Fingerprints are unique, and they can really be used as the key to solving the case, but how to extract fingerprints is a difficult problem, and you can wait for someone to study and study it." ”

"Yes!" Several people hurriedly agreed.

Gao Qin's eyes lit up, obviously thinking of something, and Zou Shouming and the other police officer also had an understanding, but they didn't dare to ask each other.

Ye Zhao nodded with a smile: "That's right, I just have to find a way to extract fingerprints from that white silk, I don't dare to say if it doesn't work, but it's always a way." ”

"The prince really has the ability to be unpredictable." Gao Qin looked convinced, but he didn't know how much it was true or how it was false.

Ye Zhao waved his hand: "Wait and see, maybe you will be busy for nothing." ”

Although Grandma Jin Er is silent, she is very curious in her heart, will she investigate the case? W-isn't this a monster? immediately felt that he didn't seem to be respectful enough, but on the contrary, Xianggong just gave people such a feeling.

Although she never called Ye Zhaoxiang to her face, she had already shouted hundreds and thousands of times in her heart, and every time she thought of "my Xianggong", her heart was so sweet and proud.

As he spoke, Ye Zhao couldn't help but talk about the skills of solving the case, some of the things he knew that could be used in this world, although most of them came from film and television works, and there were many mistakes, but it was enough to amaze Gao Qin and others. It is supposed to inspire their thinking, and they are not afraid of mistakes.

Ye Zhao smiled again: "There are people in the Xiguan Inventors Club who are extremely knowledgeable in chemistry, physics and medicine, you have time to ask for advice, and live to learn from the old, so that people can progress." ”

Gao Qin and the others hurriedly responded.

More than an hour later, several guards hurried in, bringing with them alcohol lamps, iodine, starch solution, magnifying glasses, cameras, and a bunch of other things.

Ye Zhao immediately got up with a smile, "I'll give it a try, but it may not be possible." Then he ordered the guards to move the table to the middle of the room, lit the alcohol lamp, and beckoned to a few people: "Come and see." ”

Gao Qin and several people hurriedly came over, but naturally they didn't dare to approach the prince, although Grandma Jin Er was also curious, but a bunch of big men were standing there, and she would never go over to join in the fun.

Ye Zhao put the test tube containing iodine on the alcohol lamp to heat it, and washed his hands again, then picked up the white silk cloth and put it at the mouth of the test tube, in fact, I don't know how many fingerprints of idle people are on this white silk cloth, but I don't think that any fingerprint has the traces of the murderer heavier, because the murderer once held the white silk cloth hard.

"Yikes." Gao Qin and the others exclaimed, because there were a lot of brown patterns on the white silk cloth, like overlapping and mutilated fingerprints, but Ye Zhao shook his head, and baked the place where the murderer might be holding it at the mouth of the test tube, but there were no complete fingerprints at all, there were a few fingerprints with reading power, but they were extremely shallow, and they knew that they were not the murderer's at first sight.

Said yes, the murderer wants to gather this cloth into a ball, and the part that is wrapped around the patrol's neck and rubbed in the middle should not be left with fingerprints, and the only hope is on both sides, hoping that a small piece of flat place will be grabbed by him.

The principle of using iodine to extract fingerprints is because there are oil stains and sweat stains on people's hands, and iodine vapor will dissolve in these organic substances, so that the fingerprint will be displayed, but soon iodine will be sublimated, and today's camera technology is not enough to shoot clear near objects, so it is necessary to use starch solution to retain fingerprints.

Smoked and smoked both sides of Bai Aya, but there was really no clear murderer's fingerprints, Ye Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, this is cowardly, but Gao Qin and the others were already dumbfounded.

Looking at a heavy brown pattern, it is definitely the murderer from the point of view of strength, Ye Zhao took a magnifying glass and observed it for a while, the white silk on this side should be held by the suspect's left hand, according to the analysis of the part of the fingerprint opposite to other fingerprints, it should be a thumb fingerprint, and the fingerprint at that place is overlapped by other lines, blurry and fatal, can only faintly see that the center part of the fingerprint is a "dustpan".

Ye Zhao shook his head helplessly, if the range of "fighting" would be smaller, but the "dustpan"? I'm afraid that among the more than 160 people, there are not a few left thumbs that are "fighting".

Seeing that several police officers were looking at him, obviously waiting for his magical performance, Ye Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, this is not easy to say, it was nothing if he couldn't find it, it would be good for them to open their eyes, but now, these bureau directors have really opened their eyes, but they were also hoisted up by this fingerprint imaging technique, thinking that they would definitely be able to solve this case.

was thinking about how to say that he could have both face and go down the stairs, when he suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "I have a way, have you searched those workers?" ”

Gao Qin hurriedly said: "Yes, the first thing I did was to search them carefully, and I didn't let go of the dentures. ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "You come here with your ears...... ............ The dark and narrow room on the east side of the shipyard was temporarily used as a prison cell, and there were countless frightened men crowded inside, and the smell of sweat emitted by these people was stinking, like pigs to be slaughtered in a pigsty, but these pigs, but these pigs, knowing the tragic fate to face, were frightened one by one, and some were even so frightened that they peed their pants early.

The door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and outside the door were two rows of infantry with shiny bayonets, and the patrolman who pushed the door open frowned at the strange smell in the cell, and scolded: "What the fuck, it stinks worse than a dung heap?" Then he said loudly: "You guys, the thumb of your left hand is "fighting", you can go!" ”

There was an immediate bang in the cell, and someone was so frightened that he cried: "Master, I didn't kill the person, master, Lord Qingtian, wronged!" ”

"Hell,! The general Wang Mingjian has used the fingerprint detection magic technique to take the fingerprint of the thief's left thumb, and the fingerprints are not the same in the whole world, do you know the same? Don't worry, I'll let you go. ”

Patrolling around, it was the factory guard Yang Guan team, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I really let you go, which of us doesn't have a head, dare to use the golden words of the general king to deceive you?" ”

Seeing acquaintances, these workers felt at ease, and then listened to the words of Yang Guan's team, thinking that it was really such a reason, and immediately many people shouted: "I am fighting, I am fighting." ”

Captain Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, come one by one, don't be afraid if it's a dustpan, the general Wang has a way to find out the real culprit, and if he doesn't do anything wrong, he won't be wronged if he keeps it, of course, because the thief may still have a fellow party, so ah, if you are not suspicious for the time being, you have to go to the East Factory District to wait." ”

Now the workers of the whole factory, including the low-level technicians of the West, are guarded near the big house in the east factory area, and these workers who have escaped from the predicament are even more at ease, and they will not cut off the heads of all the people in the factory.

Among the more than 160 people, there are many people with their left thumbs, and there are more than 20 people, all of whom came out one after another with joy, and one by one they were carefully looked at their left thumbs, and then walked to the east factory under the guidance of the factory guards.

Captain Yang shouted to the rest of the people, "Let's go too, go and get your fingerprints checked." ”

The rest of the workers were all shocked, under the threat of shiny bayonets, they slowly paced out, and were escorted to the west side of the factory, and there were patrols who escorted them to talk about fingerprint identification in a low voice, saying that "after touching people, they will leave fingerprints, which cannot be seen by the naked eye, but the general king has a way to make the fingerprints appear, and this person's fingerprints are unique in the world, otherwise how can the fingerprints be pressed on the deed?" With a Western magnifying glass, it is even more real. ”

Listening to the discussion of the patrol, a tall and thin man who deliberately walked two steps slower changed color slightly.

And when the workers gathered in front of the big willow tree that needed to be hugged by several people, a patrol bureau general ordered the front worker to press his left thumb on the snow-white paper, and then lit a fire. The general king said that he would not wronged people, and he would convince everyone. ”

Workers, you look at me, I look at you, although they are all curious, but no one dares to move.

"Come on, come and see!" The short and fat police officer pointed to a man in front of him, and the man nodded and walked up, took the magnifying glass handed by the officer, compared the fingerprints on the white paper, and immediately exclaimed, "Really, it's different, this thing can be magnified and seen really clearly." ”

Some of the bold and curious people also leaned over to look at it, and they talked about it in surprise.

The short and fat officer said loudly: "Now you can rest assured, go back and sit down, and leave fingerprints one by one." ”

These workers cheered, feeling that they had escaped, and one by one they scrambled for blank paper and fingerprints.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a few people shouting, "What are you doing?" But he saw a tall and thin man suddenly jump, and he ran towards the iron fence of the cliff behind the willow tree, and saw that he was about to jump off the cliff in a few steps, and under the cliff was the rocky rolling river, even if he was not thrown to death. It will also be swallowed by the rushing river.

In a hurry, the guardrail was a dead end, and there was no infantry to take care of it, the tall and thin coolies could reach the edge of the cliff in a few steps, and they didn't have time to aim at all, who knew that he had just jumped behind the willow tree in one step, but saw a black shadow on the willow tree, and threw him to the ground, and fell to the ground, and there were people on the willow tree, but no one paid attention.

"Good boy! Look where you're going! The thin monkey that swooped down from the tree was the palace guard, known as Sai Shiqian, who smiled and took the rope and tied the tall and thin man like a zongzi.

Far away on the roof of the factory, Ye Zhao put down the binoculars with a smile and said, "It's done, let's see what accomplices he has!" "Speaking of these workers, although they are the outermost coolies, it is not easy to get in, but I don't know how much effort the behind-the-scenes commanders have put in, and the matter of buying off the British mechanics is definitely not something that the coolies who have mixed in can do.

Grandma Jin Er stood beside Ye Zhao, bit her red lips lightly, glanced at Ye Zhao secretly, and said in her heart that Xianggong is really the best at everything. sighed in my heart, I didn't shoot Ye Zhao's little fart for the first time.

(To be continued)
