"Everyone has listened to Mr. Cai's briefing, if you have any ideas, or if you have any suggestions, you can say it, today's meeting, this official also hopes to brainstorm, three stinkers, top one Zhuge Liang!"

As soon as everyone recovered from the twists and turns of the case, Meng Yan's voice of questioning came from their ears.

"Your Excellency?"

Meng Yan raised his head slightly, a little surprised, he didn't expect that the first person to speak would be Ge Tong.

"Lao Ge, if you have something to say, there are no outsiders here." Meng Yan said this, which contains two meanings, the first meaning is that everyone sitting here is their own people and can be trusted, and the second is that in this conference room, behind closed doors, everyone can speak freely without too many scruples.

One person's wisdom and strength are limited, and it is impossible for Meng Yan to do everyone's work, so what do you want them to do?

Besides, he can't do everyone's work.

"My lord, when I examined Miss Xi'er's body, I found out that she was three to four months pregnant before she died." Kudzu channel.

"What, Xi'er is pregnant?" Meng Yan was a little surprised, the autopsy was basically completed by Ge Tong, and Meng Yan basically did not interfere except for some guiding opinions.

In addition to opening the coffin for Li Chengyan for an autopsy.

"Yes, my lord, the woman is pregnant for three to four months and can't be seen on the surface, not to mention that Xi'er's body is about to become a pile of skeletons, and after careful inspection, I found that a baby and an umbilical cord that were about to be formed were found in Xi'er's hip pelvic cavity, so I judged that Xi'er may have been pregnant before she died!"

"Then how do you determine that Xi'er is three to four months pregnant? Instead of a month or two or longer? Zhang Xuan asked.

"Inferiority is a rough judgment based on the outline and size of the dead baby's carrion." Ge Tong explained.

Here comes a new problem.

Xi'er is actually one corpse and two lives!

Why Xi'er is pregnant, whose child is in her womb, Meng Yan is difficult to judge for a while, He Wendong's confession mentioned that Jiao Hong has already hooked up with Xi'er, and Xi'er herself is also a little inappropriate, and it is also related to He Wendong.

In this way, it is difficult to say who the child in Xi'er's belly is.

With the scientific means of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to identify who the child in Xi'er's arms belongs to.

The sudden appearance of this child made Xi'er's death confusing.

Originally, Jiao Hong's murder suspicion was very big. But He Wendong can't just be suspicious at all.

According to the preliminary information that Meng Yan has. He Wendong has been married for many years and has never had children, so he also took two concubines.

But there was no movement, so He Wendong asked the immortals many times for divination. I don't know how much money is added to the temple every year.

Xi'er is pregnant. She doesn't know it herself. Do He Wendong and Jiao Hong also know whose child it is?

"The official knows about this, old Ge. You go on! ”

"Yes, sir." Ge Tong nodded, "My lord asked me to check the origin of the tattoos on the seven prison robbers such as He Renjie, and I consulted some tattoo masters, at first they directly said that they didn't know, and later, under the persuasion of the lowly position, they sued the lowly position, which is a special status level tattoo, which is distinguished by the number of petals......"

"Ge Chengzuo, you just say directly, what is the origin of these people."

"It's very likely that they're members of the Holy Church." Ge Tong explained solemnly.

"Holy Sect, White Lotus Sect?"

The civil strife twenty years ago, which many people still remember vividly, almost destroyed half of the empire, and finally subsided.

But many people still survived, and it was impossible for the imperial court to kill all the people involved in the civil strife, so the Ming Dynasty would have long since ceased to exist.

After the head and most of the top leaders of the Holy Sect were suppressed, the civil strife subsided, but as long as the government oppressed the people and made it impossible for the people to live, it was only a matter of time before the Holy Church revived.

Both Jinyiwei and Dongchang have an important task, that is, to investigate the evil spirit, and the biggest evil is the Holy Sect!

Jinyiwei and Dongchang Wharves in various places have not relaxed their monitoring and crackdown on the Holy Sect.

The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the activities of the Holy Sect have almost disappeared under the blows of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Of course, with such a severe crackdown, the activities of the Holy Religion will inevitably be more secretive, more difficult to discover, and even more deeply hidden.

Dongchang actually mixed in with the people of the Holy Sect, which can be regarded as a great irony.

"This matter is not trivial, everyone here today, no matter who it is, must be tight-lipped to this official, understand?"

"Master Meng......" Zhang Xuan was anxious, if he said that his share of the previous performance could not bring down Dongchang, he would admit it, after all, some things cannot be proved with real evidence, and they will be bitten back when the time comes.

But now, the evidence is conclusive.

"Zhang Xuan, I'm just suspicious now, but have you ever thought about what if this is a trick of the Holy Sect?" Meng Yan Road.

"Trickery?"

"I agree with my lord's speculation, we didn't find any tattoos when we initially examined the body, and these tattoos were found a day later, so it is entirely possible that the body was tampered with." Ge Tong talked about the matter.

"Is it possible that you were careless and didn't find out?" Zhang Xuan asked rhetorically.

"It's not impossible, so many corpses, we dealt with them overnight, these tattoos are also in some inconspicuous places, and not all of them have them, so it's not impossible."

"Lord Meng, Dongchang has been infiltrated by evil people, this can't explain the problem, go down to the official and report it to the court immediately." Zhang Xuan stood up and said in a sonorous voice.

"Master Zhang, now it's just a suspected tattoo, and it hasn't been confirmed yet, so I'm in a hurry to report it, if I make a mistake, wouldn't it be a joke?" Li Duo calmly reminded.

"Ordinary people will tattoo this kind of tattoo, and listen to Ge Chengzuo, tattoos also have grades, which are used to distinguish identity, aren't they?"

"Yes, the lotus petals on He Renjie's body are five. The rest are all three, according to the rules of the White Lotus Sect, the three petals are the identity of ordinary disciples in the sect, five should be an incense master, seven are the altar master or messenger, and nine are the identity of the Venerable or Elder Keqing. Wang Jing suddenly spoke, he was the oldest in this conference room, and he was also a witness to the civil unrest that year, so he knew it more clearly.

"In this way, the level of this He Renjie is not low. At least a perfumer? ”

"First determine the authenticity of the tattoo. Then decide whether to report to the imperial court. Meng Yan pondered for a moment and decided.

"Master Meng......"

"Lord Zhang, this official knows your feelings, but our patrol makes the yamen pay attention to evidence in handling cases. Not by personal likes and dislikes. If you can't do it, calm and objective. This officer can let you go back to the Punishment Department. Meng Yan said coldly.

"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, he knew. Meng Yan can do what he says, not to mention that what he said is not intentionally partial.

If the tattoo is fake, or someone deliberately frames it, then the patrol makes the yamen a villain.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the "Knock Knock ......" conference room.

"Come in!"

"My lord, the craftsman who repaired the door frame and railing at the scene of the crime has been found." Fan Xiping walked in with his hands still wrapped in gauze.

"Old Fan, why are you here, aren't you recuperating at home?" Meng Yan said in surprise.

"My lord, I'm fine, as soon as I think of our case, I can't be idle, so I will find Mr. Cai and ask him to arrange for me to do what I can." Fan Xiping sneered.

"Mr. Cai, Lao Fan's injury is not healed yet, why are you ......?"

Cai Jin said embarrassedly: "I can't stand his soft grinding and hard bubbles, so I just say, if you can find out the craftsman who repaired the railing at the scene, even if you have the ability." ”

"Lao Fan is actually here, then sit down and talk, there is a place over there." Meng Yan pointed to a vacant seat beside Lin Tianxing and said.

"Oh, sir!" Fan Xiping walked over and sat down.

"Old Fan, tell me, how did you find this craftsman who repaired the door frame and railing?" Meng Yan asked.

"Lao Fan knows, the adult has started with the craftsmanship of the craftsman of the restoration, and asked Lord Kuaixiang to help, but my Lao Fan does not understand these, can only think of other ways, Lao Fan I know a lot of people, the three religions and nine streams in the capital have contact, I thought, this repair railing and door frame work can do a lot of people, but can do not let people find out much, Kuaixiang Lord is known as the current Luban, the skills must be superb, but he will not do illegal things, so, among the people he knows, Even if the people who can do this skill are more decent, and someone secretly takes over the work in time, then he can't let him know, and this kind of secret work is not good to eat lawsuits, and those who dare to take the job are either doing this business, or they are short of money, and the people who specialize in this line of work, if the government wants to find it, it is easy, and they will not do it if it involves serious murder cases, they will not do it, they will be implicated, and the money earned has not been spent, so the mark feels that only the craftsman who is in urgent need of money and has good craftsmanship is the most suspicious! ”

Meng Yan couldn't help nodding, Lao Fan's analysis was completely to the point, it seemed that Lao Fan, who was usually a good man, should not be underestimated, once this good man became smart, it would be impossible for the gods to stop him.

"Lao Fan's analysis makes a lot of sense."

"So I started to check some craftsmen who usually have some minor problems, and there are good craftsmen, and investigate their family situation after September last year."

"This is also looking for a needle in a haystack, and there are not a few such people?" Li Duo said empirically.

"Master Li is right, even if there is a range marked and circled, it will be at least a few hundred people, and maybe the person I'm looking for is not among them at all." Fan Xiping Road.

"Old Fan, keep talking!" Meng Yan tapped the table lightly with his right hand and said, "Everyone try not to disturb him." ”

"Lao Fan remembers that adults once talked about the elimination method when they taught us, so Lao Fan used the elimination method to eliminate the people who did not meet one by one and narrow the scope!"

Although Meng Yan's face was expressionless, he was happy in his heart, which showed that his training of the Treasurer Brigade of the Craftsman Division had been effective, and they had begun to learn to think and use what he had taught them interestingly. (To be continued......)
