Qin Tai didn't have time to pay attention to Zhan's little emotions, and immediately took the file and analyzed it carefully. Although the other party's people gave Qin Tai three days, Qin Tai didn't have three days to spend on it. Qin Tai decided that if he could solve the case within a day, he would solve it, and if he couldn't solve it, he would give up. The cases in Qin Tai's hands are more important than these cases, and Xiao Ping'an can't wait. It's a big deal not to rely on the people from the Criminal Department, Qin Tai and his wife will personally go to find clues to solve the case.

The people from the Criminal Department asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to bring the files of three cases, one case of drowning and two cases of burning. These are all more difficult cases in the Criminal Department now, and they deliberately want to make things difficult for Qin Tai. Although Qin Tai is also a member of the Criminal Department, he was their colleague a few years ago, at least in the Yamen of the Criminal Department. But Qin Tai has always handled cases independently and never handled cases jointly with everyone. In addition, Qin Tai's limelight overshadowed everyone, causing everyone to be very dissatisfied and jealous of Qin Tai. Over the years, the Criminal Department has not had Qin Tai, and everyone has the feeling of getting ahead, but I didn't expect Qin Tai to come back like this. Not only has the prison of the Criminal Department been solved, a case that no one has dared to handle for a long time, but now through Zhang Juzheng, they are asked to cooperate with Qin Tai in handling the case, of course everyone is unhappy. So they found out these three cases with almost no clues, and deliberately gave Qin Tailai a "dismount".

Qin Tai looked through the case of drowning. The Criminal Department is worthy of being the highest case-handling agency in the Ming Dynasty, not only has a master of investigating cases, but also has excellent officials to inspect the body and make a more detailed autopsy report. Although Qin Tai had reservations about the professional knowledge of this work, he had to admit that this work was very careful. Not only is it carefully documented but also written in great detail, almost a bit verbose. But it was because of this verbosity that Qin Tai could see a hint of it.

The scene of the crime was in the stinky ditch of an alley in the capital, and a playful child used a long pole to dry clothes to catch things and play, and actually scooped up a piece of clothing and an arm that was already white bones. After the people from the criminal department arrived at the scene, they blocked the scene and drove away the people who were watching the excitement, and at the same time immediately salvaged the bones and made detailed records. Based on his own experience, he judged that the deceased had been soaked in the stinky ditch for at least half a year, causing the deceased to decompose and finally turn into a white skeleton. The deceased is already rotting, how can the clothes not be torn? It was because the deceased was wearing a southern silk underwear, and because the garment had been specially treated, it was not corrupt. Judging from the appearance and material of this dress, this person is not only a man but also a man with status. This man was either a businessman, a scholar, or even an official. Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to afford to wear such expensive silk underwear. He may be old, so he is a little nagging, and he has written a lot of dispensable things. The people in the criminal department only judged two points, the first was that the man was about thirty to forty years old, and the second was that the man had some economic status.

But Qin Tai saw something else from the nagging. First, the deceased had an old wound on his left leg, which had been injured by an external force. It can be seen that the deceased will not be a scholar, because scholars generally stay at home to study, rarely have the opportunity to go out, and will not be so seriously injured. The imperial court has a rule that civil officials cannot have disabilities, and a scholar with a disabled foot must not be an official. Therefore, readers not only love their own hands, but also love their own bodies. Therefore, Qin Tai judged that the deceased was either a soldier when he was young, or a businessman who often traveled from south to north. Second, the deceased's limbs were stretched out and did not twist or look unusual. It can be seen that the deceased was already dead when he was thrown into the stinking ditch, or did not struggle hard. Given that there were no obvious external injuries on the deceased's body, Qin Tai suspected that the murderer might have suddenly attacked the deceased from behind. After knocking the deceased unconscious, he threw the deceased into the stinking ditch. By the time the deceased came to his senses and was ready to struggle, it was already too late. Thirdly, there was no obvious lump in the deceased's skull, which shows that the murderer did not directly hit the deceased in the head. It is strange to give up the head of the deceased and attack other inconspicuous parts of the deceased. Qin Tai made a bold judgment, this murderer was either sure that he would be able to subdue the deceased, or he was not as tall and powerful as the deceased. The murderer couldn't have been a strong man, otherwise he wouldn't have thrown the deceased into the stinking ditch so casually. It can be seen that this murderer is not a half-old child, or a woman with little strength. After knocking the deceased unconscious, he did not dare and did not have the ability to deal with the deceased, so he had to throw the deceased into the nearest stinking ditch. This also resulted in the deceased having no belongings with him, but wearing expensive clothes.

Qin Tai made two more reasonable analyses based on the dossier. First, the deceased, who was a businessman, came to the capital to do business. When the transaction was completed, they met a group of little beggars, who saw that the merchant had money and came to beg. The businessmen not only did not give money to the little beggars, but also spoke ill of them. The little beggars were angry and for money, so they simply followed the businessman to an alley. There was no one in the alley, and the little beggars attacked the businessman from behind with the things they had found on the fly. After defeating the businessman, he snatched the businessman's money bag and simply pushed the businessman into the stinky ditch on the side. Then the little beggars scattered and left the capital. The second possibility is that this businessman, who used to be a soldier, bought a girl as his wife. The husband and wife came to the capital to do business, and the husband was not good to his wife, and he punched and kicked him from time to time. The wife couldn't help it anymore and attacked her husband from behind after walking to the alley. After knocking the man unconscious, she wanted to leave, but thinking that the man would still come to catch him after waking up, and that she was penniless and had a bad life, the woman simply took the money from her husband and pushed the man into the stinky ditch on the side. The panicked woman didn't dare to watch the man die, and after pushing the man down, she turned around and left with the money bag.

The other two cases of burning, although both were burned, there was a big difference in them. Qin Tai used his years of experience to immediately distinguish the difference. In one case, there was only one deceased, but his hands were in the shape of chicken claws. Qin Tai judged that the deceased had been burned alive by the fire. How could an adult man not be able to escape from his own home? The only explanation is that he can't walk if he wants to. The deceased was either tied up in his room, or the man was not good at it. Qin Tai made a reminder and suggested that the people from the Criminal Department inquire about whether the deceased was sick or not. If that's the case, is it possible that he doesn't want to affect his family and would rather die. Because even if you are not good at walking, as long as you want to live, you can get out even if you want to get out. Although this person struggled a little, he did not mean to escape, and the struggle was just human instinct. So Qin Tai suspected that this person might have committed suicide and knocked down the oil lamp and burned himself.

In another case, there were four deceased persons, the man and the woman of a family, and a pair of their children. Although it was judged that he was burned to death by fire, Qin Tai had a different opinion. First, the deceased and his wife and the children lived in two separate rooms, and the husband and wife should rush to the children's rooms even if they could not escape. But the dead all died in their beds in their rooms, and the charred bodies barely moved. Second, the four deceased, especially the two children, looked strange, as if they had been burned to death in their sleep. It's also so weird, don't children know to be afraid, don't they feel heat and pain? Thirdly, the clothes worn by the four deceased were so intact that fragments of their outer and undergarments could be found on their bodies even if they were charred. Could it be that the family is all weirdos? Prefer to sleep dressed up? Therefore, Qin Tai suspected that the family should have been collectively stunned before going to bed, and then burned alive at the scene of the fire. Judging from the other party's methods and mentality, Qin Tai suspected that the other party hated this family very much, and even had a deep hatred. Otherwise, they won't even let go of the young children of this family, and the purpose of this is mainly to cover up the type of drug under the other party. If you don't burn it once, it is very likely that the identity of the other party will be revealed through the type of drug used. Qin Tai suggested that the people of the Criminal Department carefully investigate the past of this family, maybe their husband and wife or their ancestors might find out the motives of the other party's crimes. It is very likely that the other party took revenge on this family for himself or his ancestors.

In these three thorny cases of the Criminal Department, Qin Tai made a new breakthrough in less than an hour. Zhan Xiaoxiao conveyed Qin Tai's meaning to someone from the Criminal Department, and soon after, Zhan Xiaoxiao not only brought a group of criminal department investigation masters, but also brought some good news. Through Qin Tai's suggestion, there are also the private suspicions of some people in the Criminal Department, as well as timely investigation and search. There has basically been a breakthrough in the three cases, and it is not far from solving the case. As Qin Tai had predicted, the man who drowned was a soldier who had served as a soldier, and was later replaced by his younger brother who was injured and continued to serve as a soldier. He himself came to the capital to find a relationship, trying to seek an idle errand. While waiting for news in the capital, this man forcibly bought a girl who was like a flower. was about to take this girl to the post, but I didn't expect this girl to be a girl who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she actually knocked the man unconscious and pushed him into the stinky ditch. Because the man did not go to work in time, the receiving unit reported to the capital, and the number was matched as soon as it was checked. The Criminal Department issued a sea arrest document to arrest the sinner woman who murdered her husband. Soon after, the girl was arrested and returned to the capital and sentenced to be executed, but the girl did not regret it at all.
