There are hundreds of large and small boats on the Jinshui River, and thousands of people who are happy, so it can be said that the Jinshui River after nightfall is one of the scenic spots in the capital.

This brings great convenience to Jiang Xiang.

Although Zhen Shicheng is discerning, he is not an immortal after all, and it can be said that it is difficult to find clues to the arson thief from so many people and ships, and even if he can find clues, it will not be a day's work.

Jiang didn't seem to take it lightly because of this, and having dealt with Zhen Shicheng a few times made her deeply understand that she couldn't ignore any detail.

The ship that Lao Qin rented had to be properly disposed of.

She still remembered the scene when Yang Shengcai climbed up the side of the boat with all his might, and when Yang Shengcai fell back into the water, he finally died quietly at the bottom of the river, and there was a chance that he would leave traces on the side of the boat.

Zhen Shicheng is a man of great wisdom, if he starts with the person who rented the boat last night and then checks the hull, once he finds those traces, he may be able to guess that there is something wrong with the person who rented the boat. In this way, even if she told Lao Qin to hide her appearance when she went to charter a boat, it would be difficult to control.

Of course, Jiang seems to be unwilling to get into trouble because of his carelessness.

"Lao Qin reassured the girl, he has taken care of everything."

"That's good." Jiang seemed to smile.

She still has trust in Lao Qin's ability, otherwise she wouldn't have been so relieved to see her second brother fall into the water last night.

The Jinshui River is not turbulent, it is a very gentle river, which is so suitable for those painting boats to wander here, for people to enjoy themselves.

It is precisely because of this that it can be said that it is foolproof to rescue the second brother in time with Lao Qin's skills and water nature.

Ah Man has not woken up from his master's murderous "heroic appearance" to this day, and said with a face full of admiration: "Girl, how do you know to deal with that ship?" The servant went to pass the word to Lao Qin, and Lao Qin said that you are too powerful, and you are like a god. ”

Jiang seemed to laugh at himself: "How can I be so powerful, but because I attach great importance to it, I think more." ”

She was reborn and returned, of course, life is not only about the word "revenge", but protecting relatives is one of the most important things, otherwise let the bad luck of the previous life come, and be at ease alone?

She would never be able to do that, so she would not hesitate to do so, even if her hands were stained with blood.

In the Shuntian Mansion, Zhen Shicheng paced slowly with his hands behind his back.

Not long ago, he reported something to him.

Sawdust was found between the fingernails of the deceased!

What does this mean?

Through the accounts of Cui Yi and others, last night, the fire in the painting boat and several of them all jumped into the river from the window, which means that the sawdust in the hands of the deceased has nothing to do with the painting boat.

So what is the most likely scenario for the presence of wood chips between the fingernails of the deceased?

Zhen Shicheng was a very bold man, and soon a bold guess came to his mind: the deceased jumped into the river, swam to the nearest boat in a panic, and then firmly grasped the side or oar.

But he was not saved, and he left sawdust between his fingernails.

In fact, Yang Shengcai's failure to be saved is a very puzzling thing for Zhen Shicheng.

He personally went to the Jinshui River to observe, the current is very gentle, not to mention that the lights are bright at night, and there are countless ships nearby, how can he not be saved? You must know that everyone on the painting boat except Yang Shengcai, even the second son of Dongping Bofu who drank too much and fell into the water was rescued.

Zhen Shicheng considered this, and the guess became clearer and clearer: the person the deceased asked for help was the murderer nine times out of ten!

In other words, the young man had accomplices, and they had at least one boat, and if they were lucky, they might be able to find the marks left by the deceased's fingernails on the side of the boat or somewhere.

Zhen Shicheng was not in a good mood when he thought about this.

Although he will show a fair attitude when handling the case, no matter what the identity of the deceased, finding out the truth is what he should do, but this time Yang Shengcai's death really made him feel very happy.

Such a scumbag, who was only a teenager, was involved in a lot of lives, and he didn't know how many people he had harmed when he was old.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Zhen Shicheng still decisively ordered: "First ask the owners of those cruise ships, whether there was anyone who rented the boat yesterday, and if so, whether the boat has been returned." ”

The subordinate took the order and left, and after a while, another subordinate came down to report: "My lord, someone from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites has come." ”

Zhen Shicheng nodded, raised his feet and walked towards the hall.

It was Yang Shengcai's father who came to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and at this time, Yang's father's eyes were red, his face was slightly swollen, and he looked haggard.

The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and it is unbearable pain to put it on anyone.

Although Zhen Shicheng didn't have a good impression of Yang Shengcai, he was sympathetic to Yang's father, and greeted him gently: "Brother Yang should pay attention to your body." ”

Father Yang sneered: "Lord Zhen, don't talk about this, I don't know if the arson boy has found it?" ”

Although he still has two young concubines, only Yang Sheng is such a baby bump, even if the concubine often causes trouble and inevitably scolds, it hurts to the bones.

Now that his son is gone, if he can't find the murderer, he can't wait to burn Shuntianfu with a fire.

"Not found yet." Seeing that the other party's attitude was not good, Zhen Shicheng's tone was also cold.

What about the Ministry of Rites?

He can sit firmly in the position of Shuntianfu Yin, is it frightened?

Zhen Shicheng is a person who climbed up step by step from a poor family, such a person may have no foundation when he is young, but to have his current status is by no means as simple as an official with an empty family background thinks.

"It's been a night, why haven't you found it yet?" Father Yang asked aggressively.

Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard unhurriedly: "There were at least thousands of people on the Jinshui River last night, Brother Yang doesn't think that this official is a three-headed and six-armed immortal, and he can know where the person is by pinching his fingers?" Besides, the boy had jumped into the water, and had drowned, as one might have guessed. ”

Hmph, if there is a son, there must be a father, and he doesn't care if he is foolish, let the three law divisions check it. Find out who the murderer is, and he will give him a pennant!

Zhen Shicheng has never been an old-fashioned and pedantic person, as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, he is not only in charge of solving cases, but he only invests the most because he is most interested in this area, in fact, he is occasionally a shopkeeper and others can't do anything with him.

"So when are you going to find someone?"

"It's hard to say. Brother Yang asked like this, which was embarrassing for the official. ”

"You!" Father Yang wanted to vent his anger very much, but in the face of Zhen Shicheng's calm and indifferent face, he couldn't get out.

"I heard that the person who rescued the second son of Dongping Bofu was a subordinate of Lord Zhen, and now I suspect that that person has something to do with the death of the dog. Master Zhen called that man out and let me meet him. ”

can't have a fight with Zhen Shicheng, at least can't spare the boy who saved Dongpingbo's Mansion but didn't save his son!

Zhen Shicheng said in a strange tone: "Brother Yang wants to see my subordinates?" ”
