Chapter Thirty-Seven: Here comes the Governor
Dali Temple? It can't be Qu Fanyou, right? But he is in Luo County at the moment, so he shouldn't come to Weicheng, right?
Situ Yimo thought as he walked towards the side hall, which was specially designed to pick up witnesses. As soon as she walked in, she saw that the people inside were all familiar faces, including the boy she had seen at the post station last time.
The prince was slightly surprised when he saw Situ Yimo coming, he knew that her identity was extraordinary, but he never thought that she was the county lord of Anhe.
This person is the young master of the Shuntian Dart Bureau, Bai Si Jane.
Situ Yimo saw at a glance the box on the table, the workmanship was very exquisite, it was made of pure gold, and there were carvings on it that looked like some kind of flower, presumably this was Ou Guanze's lost treasure.
The master came in after Situ Yimo, and when he saw that everyone had already come, he looked at Bai Lu Jian and said, "Bai Gongzi, after the people from Dali Temple come, you can claim them."
Although this is a matter of the rivers and lakes, after all, the murder case occurred within the boundaries of Weicheng, and the murder case will be accepted by the prefect of Weicheng. ”
When Ou Guanze heard this, he nodded and smiled, "Since the person died in Weicheng, the investigation has to bother your county officials, and I am also very curious about who killed him." ”
Bai Lu Jian also expressed his attitude, "Man Xiang is a person from my Shuntian Dart Bureau, and he died in such an unknown way, and the grass people also hope to investigate clearly." ”
Seeing that they had no opinion and were very cooperative, Master Zhao nodded, "Although we only manage murder cases, my lord has instructed that if you need it, our prefect can also send someone to find the lost treasure." ”
"Lord Xie's kindness is still important to investigate the murder case." Bai Xi simply saluted and said, "Something, we will find it in the Shuntian Dart Bureau." ”
Master Zhao knew the rules of their rivers and lakes, so he didn't say much, this case involved the rivers and lakes, and it was no longer something that a prefect could investigate, there were enough cases in the prefect's house, and he didn't have the energy to investigate the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so it was better to hand over the case to Dali Temple.
The investigation of this case in the past two days has consumed a lot of time and energy from their prefect, and he is also a lot more relaxed to see them so happy.
"Our adults have something to do now, and this case will be in charge of our county." Master Zhao saw that Situ Yimo was checking the file, so he looked at them and said.
Ou Guanze was not surprised at all, after all, he had already seen Situ Yimo's skills before. But Bai Lu Jian was a little surprised, but it was only for a moment, and she didn't show too much expression.
"According to the records in the case file, the deceased Man Xiang was still with a dagger in his chest when he was found, but according to the examination, the knife was not the first tool of the crime, and before he was stabbed with a knife, there were wounds on his chest with other sharp weapons, and the knife had been taken out."
Situ Yimo held the case file in his hand, the corners of his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was a little curious, "Man Xiang was stabbed twice, and the other deceased was directly cut by someone with a knife, and he still used the same knife. ”
"In my opinion, it's an acquaintance who committed the crime."
When Bai Lu Jian heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was a little unconvinced, "Why did Lord Anhe say that?" ”
"According to the traces of the scene." Situ Yimo didn't care about Bai Lujian's attitude, and said lightly, "It is clearly written on the file, and there is no trace of struggle at the scene. I think, since you are the people of the dart game, you will not be powerless, and you can only be slaughtered in case of danger? ”
Bai Si Jane's face sank, he didn't want to doubt the people around him, those were the brothers who were born and died with him.
"The reason why I say this is that I hope that Young Master Bai can be vigilant to avoid any more accidents." Situ Yimo put down the file and looked at Bai Xijian, always feeling that his facial features were very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
She probably hadn't seen him before.
Seeing him look up at himself, Situ Yimo raised his eyebrows and said, "There are other footprints left at the scene, the footprints are different, and they are consistent with the two deceased, it can be seen that in addition to the murderer, there is a fourth person present, if I am the murderer, I will not keep him." Moreover, I think that it is very likely that the contents of the box were taken by the man, and since the murderer killed for this thing, it is even more impossible to let that person go. ”
Bai Lu Jian glanced at Situ Yimo a few more times, fell into deep thought, and stood silent.
"Miss Situ has a point." The fan in Ou Guanze's hand patted his chest lightly, hooked his lips and smiled, glanced at the box on the table, paused for a few seconds, then picked it up, looked at it a few times, and said to Situ Yimo.
"Look at this box."
Situ Yimo was slightly surprised, and when she saw Ou Guanze staring at her and smiling, she was even more puzzled, and after a pause, she took the box, and there was a fragrance on her face, but this fragrance seemed to be there.
She didn't smell it when she came in just now, and she felt the aroma in her hand, but it quickly disappeared and suddenly appeared again, which was really strange.
"Is there any special fragrance in this box?"
"Can you smell it?" Bai Si Jian was a little stunned.
Situ Yimo was very surprised, "Shouldn't I smell it?" ”
Ou Guanze stood up and looked at Situ Yimo, took the box in her hand, and turned his fingers around according to the pattern, the golden pattern changed, and the fragrance also changed.
"This box is cast by Xiangnan himself, it is a mechanism box, Mr. Xiangnan used ninety-one kinds of spices to smear the box, each fragrance is restrained, each turn the pattern, the fragrance is different, but only people who are born with a keen sense of smell can smell it, this mechanism is moved according to the change of fragrance."
Situ Yimo was slightly startled, and suddenly realized, no wonder she could smell it, wasn't she born with a good sense of smell?
"In this case, only someone who is born with a keen sense of smell can open this box."
"So to speak." Oguanze nodded.
"That Manxiang is also born with a keen sense of smell?"
"He's not." Bai Si Jian shook his head and said.
"The fourth person on the scene is born with a keen sense of smell."
Situ Yimo's fingers turned the mechanism on the box and said, "This is also a direction of investigation. ”
"Bang--"
"This mechanism really changes according to the fragrance, this design is amazing!"
Seeing Situ Yimo easily open the box, Ou Guanze chuckled silently, and looked at her with a little more approval, the more he looked at her so quietly, the more he felt that she and Second Brother Su were a talented and beautiful woman, a natural pair!
Bai Si Jian was a little surprised, Mr. Xiangnan's mechanism box is very wonderful, and few people in this world can open it. He himself can't.
"This box is so exquisite, the treasures inside must be even more precious, right?" Situ Yimo closed the box and handed it to Ou Guanze and said.
As soon as the words fell, Bai Si Jane's face was a little unsightly.
"The treasure inside is a jewel bracelet, which also has a mechanism, and each gem is connected to a different mechanism, which is also made by the Xiangnan monk, and it also has a name, a thousand fennel." Ou Guanze said with a smile, the smile on his face did not decrease but increased, as if he had lost his treasure.
"A thousand fennel, it's very nice." Situ Yimo raised his eyebrows, looked at Ou Guanze, saw that the smile on his face was very sincere, and said quite funny, "Isn't this thousand fennel Ou Gongzi's thing?" Such a valuable treasure has been lost, why do I look at you and seem to care at all? ”
Oguanze smiled, "Although the treasure is lost, it will always return to my hands intact." ”
"Ou Gongzi is so confident?"
"That's nature! Not to mention the ability to do it, just a Shuntian dart game, that person can't bear it. When the time comes, I will issue another wanted warrant, and he will naturally return the treasure obediently. ”
Situ Yimo didn't doubt Ou Guanze's words at all, so since this was the case, she didn't have to care about this, "Okay, since you have claimed the box, I will ask Song Yu to take you to the morgue quickly, and you can see the bodies of those two people." ”
As soon as the words fell, she added, "Now you can't bring the body back, you have to wait for the people of Dali Temple to decide before you can take it away." Before that, if you have any questions, you can come to the prefect's yamen. ”
"Miss Situ don't worry, if you have any questions, you will definitely come to the yamen." Ou Guanze's smiling Danfeng eyes showed evil charm, and he walked to the door and said, "The kite that was broken under it must be sent back to Miss Situ intact." ”
Situ Yimo was a little helpless, this Ou Guanze didn't expect to be so careful, just a kite!
She was about to go to see the confession at the scene with her master, but before she could step out of the door, she heard hurried footsteps outside.
"County Lord, someone is from above." Suddenly, the catcher outside the door ran and shouted.
"The people from Dali Temple have arrived so soon?"
"It's not the Lord of Dali Temple, it's the Governor sent by the Emperor!"
Situ Yimo was taken aback and surprised, "Lord Governor? Didn't the governor sent by the emperor to investigate the unjust case? How did you come to Weicheng? ”
Zhu Kuai's face was not very good, and he held back his anger, "What did the governor say to make a secret visit and evaluate the performance of officials." At the moment, he is sitting in the lobby to show off his might. ”
Situ Yimo raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, so he listened to the catcher and complained, "What kind of governor did the governor say, he came but didn't see the adult, said that the adult didn't take him seriously, and said that the adult was lawless, and he wanted to give the adult a bad record!" ”
"That's what he said?"
"Hmph, he said it worse than his subordinates!"
"I think he's here to find the adult!"
Situ Yimo was a little stunned, a governor is also a fourth-grade official, although her uncle, the prefect, is a fifth-grade official, it is indeed a level lower than him in terms of official position, but her grandfather is the emperor's teacher, and whoever doesn't look at it here has to give his uncle face.
What's more, her uncle is very popular in officialdom, after all, at least half of the officials in the imperial court came out of her uncle's Lishan Academy.
So no one on the bright side will understand his face so clearly, right?
"County Lord, why don't you go and take a look? Since he is the governor sent by the emperor, he has to go through this scene, lest he really give the adult a demerit and ruin the adult's reputation. Master thought about it and said.
Situ Yimo nodded, "Well, master, you can go and see if this governor is really here to find fault!"
