023. Provocation
After some rhetoric, the onlookers of Quliu Village nodded, feeling justified.
Not far away, the white-haired old man who was also tied with his hands tied, his eyes were full of tears, and he fell to the ground in a daze.
"After that, it was Wang Dachun who took advantage of the curse of the Feng family to kill people with a knife and do evil."
Li Mi told the truth about the curse killing and the fact that the people in the village could not conceive a child.
"If you don't believe it, you can go to Wang Dachun's bed to search the secret compartment, and find a Lang Zhong to carefully identify the herbs hidden in it, and the truth will be revealed immediately. And Liu Sanxi, who died for us last night, should also find traces of those poisons when he checks his diet. β
As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately became excited, they scolded Wang Dachun, and some even picked up the stones on the ground and threw them over.
Wang Dachun screamed again and again, curled up on the ground and dodged left and right, like a drenched dog.
If it weren't for the six gates, I am afraid that these villagers would have stepped forward and flayed Wang Dachun alive.
Shen Luo patted the chair to make everyone quiet, and then looked at Li Mi, "Since the real culprit of the Feng family tragedy is Feng Xiu, then I will send six doors back to Beijing to investigate?" β
Li Mi shook her head, "No need." So far, this case is no longer something that the six doors can meddle in at will, I'm afraid, if you want to start the Empress Dowager Xiao, please investigate it. β
"Why? Do you know who Feng Xiu is? β
"Feng Xiu is actually Cui Shangshu of today's Ministry of Officials!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped.
The official of the Ministry of Shangshu, the official of the second rank of the imperial court, could be a demon who brutally slaughtered fifty-seven lives?
Shen Luo almost fainted.
"Li Mi, do you have any evidence? You must know that Cui Shangshu is not an ordinary person, and slandering the court officials is to be questioned! She said with a serious face.
Li Mi asked Cao Shaocheng to bring three things and called a witness.
The east and west are two portraits, a dark green jade pendant.
The witness is Liang Kuan, the housekeeper of the sealed family.
Li Mi said: "If Shen Zhutou wants ironclad evidence, he can also call Old Man Feng to identify him." After all, Feng Xiu is his biological son, and if necessary, he can confess his relatives by blood, Feng Xiu, oh no, Cui Shangshu is speechless. β
The two portraits are the missing scholar Cui Chu and Feng Xiu in the old man's room.
The two portraits were held up by two horsemen and circled around for all to see.
From time to time, someone exclaims that it looks exactly the same.
Li Mi called Liang Kuan and said, "You tell Shen Zhutou, is this other painting hanging in Old Man Feng's room Feng Xiu?" β
Liang Kuan nodded.
The people in the two portraits are both images of beautiful men with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.
Li Mi picked up the dark green jade pendant again, "This is what Cao Shaocheng found in Cui Qiu's book basket, and it is exactly the same as the jade pendant on Feng Xiu's portrait." Maybe he accidentally learned the truth from his mother, so he had the plan for this study tour. can only be that the will of heaven is not as good as people, the grandfather and grandson failed to recognize each other in the end, and the place where Feng Xiu desperately wanted to escape became his son's grave, I don't know if it was providence or karma. β
He handed it to Shen Luo, who carefully compared it for a long time, and finally nodded, "It's the same." β
She said in a heavy tone: "It seems that what you said is right, Cui Shangshu...... It is the new identity after Feng Xiu went to Bianjing. β
Li Mi said slowly: "Back then, after Feng Xiu went to Bianliang, Tokyo, he became surnamed Cui. Later, in order to make friends with the powerful people in Beijing, he spent a lot of money to train the servants. And as the owner, he chose Quliu Village as a secret location, so that Wang Dachun could secretly Chen Cang under the guise of a curse. He grew up in Quliu Village, and in his mind, this is the safest place. β
Speaking of which, the whole case related to Quliu Village finally came to an end, and Li Mi also let out a long breath and sat back in his chair.
Shen Luo wrung his eyebrows for a long time, and then summoned Li Moxiong of the Thousand Households and said: "Send me a secret letter, 800 miles will be sent to Bianjing overnight, and it will definitely be handed over to Commander Hong in person." β
Li Moxiong clenched his fists heavily, "The subordinates will not disgrace their mission!" β
-------------------------------------
As the case of the entire Quliu Village became clear, the truth surfaced, and many puzzles that were once difficult to explain were solved, and Li Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After waiting for a while, the horsemen of the six doors successively brought down some beautiful women from the mountain, most of them were in the bloom of cardamom, but they were imprisoned in this deep mountain and old forest, if it wasn't for Li Mi to solve the case, I am afraid that they would soon face the fate of being famous.
Li Mi stood up and looked through the crowd four or five times, but he couldn't find the familiar figure for a long time.
He turned around and walked back, grabbed Wang Dachun, who had already been spurned and trembled, and asked, "Where did you send Xue Xuan?" β
Wang Dachun replied tremblingly: "I didn't touch Xue Xuan...... Yesterday, after the proprietor's flying pigeon passed the book, I sent someone to send Xue Juan out of the back mountain, and now ...... It's time to be on your way to Bianjing! β
"You bastard!" Li Mi was so angry that he kicked him to the ground.
Shen Luo stepped forward and grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Xue Juan was sent to the capital, and once Cui Shangshu secretly opened the joint and sent it to the palace, she was trapped in her life." Li Mi clenched her fists, "She has been trapped here for the first half of her life, and she has suffered enough, I must not let her suffer from the same grounding by the palace wall for the rest of her life." β
Li Mi turned his head, hugged his fist at Shen Luo and said, "Shen Zhutou, please help me recover Xue Juan!" β
Shen Luo was duty-bound, she nodded, summoned three six-door horsemen, and ordered them to set off immediately, hurry up and return to Bianjing City, and be sure to stop the carriage escorting Xue Juan outside the city.
Li Mi smiled, grateful.
Subsequently, the two of them got on their horses and returned to Wushan County, Yizhou Prefecture, under the escort of 100 six-door embroidered clothes and 1,000 Li Moxiong.
This time in Quliu Village, Li Mi can be regarded as making a contribution to solving the case, not only to regain face for Wushan County, but also to emerge in the court in the future.
As the so-called golden scales are not things in the pool, for two consecutive days, Li Mi was frequently invited to the celebration banquets of Wushan County and Yizhou Mansion, and his head was almost not sober.
Whether it is the official of the county government or the prefect Lord Yang, they keep advising this hero to drink, they know that Li Mi is not a character who can be kept in such a small place, so they naturally mix up their faces first, hoping that the other party will be able to piggyback on them in the future.
On the third day, Shen Luo found Li Mi and prepared to leave for Beijing.
Li Mi was surprised, "Go back so soon and stay a few more days?" β
Shen Luo shook his head, "There are many affairs in the six gates, so I shouldn't stay here for a long time." Besides, the case has been solved, and I have already prepared the debriefing documents, so I naturally push you as the first merit. β
Li Mi smiled, and invited Shen Dazhutou to a restaurant hidden in the depths of the alley, and the two ordered a few home-cooked dishes, accompanied by some cooked food, and sat around the table to eat and drink.
After eating, the two of them said goodbye, Shen Luo said: "You also pack your bags early and prepare to go to the capital, I will go to the capital in advance to prepare for you to wash the dust." β
Li Mi readily agreed.
Before leaving, Shen Luo sent someone to send his personal waist card.
There are three seal characters on the six doors, and there are tiger head patterns, and there are five unique nebula patterns painted on them.
Under the imperial court, the criminal department was used to revitalize the dynasty, among which the six doors jointly established by the criminal department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were the first yamen, especially since the death of the first emperor and the reign of the Empress Dowager Xiao, the six doors began to attract people in the rivers and lakes to serve themselves.
Whether it is the six door ti horse, flag officer, hundred households, etc., or the masters of the rivers and lakes, spies and spies, they are all awarded waist cards according to the lion, tiger, bear, leopard, wolf, and eagle from high to low.
Shen Luo is a famous arrester of the six doors, his status is higher than that of a thousand households, and he is slightly lower than the pacification envoy, so he only gets the tiger stripe waist card, but the deterrent power is enough to mobilize most of the six doors in the country at will.
It was Shen Luo's idea to give the tiger stripe waist card to Li Mi, if Li Mi entered Beijing, from Jiangdu Road to Bianliang in the north, it could be more convenient and less troublesome.
Moreover, Shen Luo's detection of the big case this time, although it is not the first achievement, but as soon as he returns to the six doors, it is still a nail in the coffin to change from the tiger stripe waist card to the handful of lion pattern waist cards, and then this waist card will be left for Li Mi as a souvenir.
After Shen Luo left, Li Mi also packed his bags with Cao Shaocheng and left for the capital early.
Staying in Wushan County, Yizhou Prefecture, is naturally not Li Mi's original wish, and he just took this opportunity to feel the customs and sophistication of the Great Zhao Dynasty.
The night before leaving, the record of clearing grievances appeared again in front of him.
γDing! Congratulations on solving the cursed murder case in Quliu Village, which is being evaluated......]
Li Mi looked at the tattered strange book in front of him and turned it without wind, and pages of old villages in the mountains, abandoned old houses, mountain villas, and waterless dry wells flashed in front of him, followed by quite detailed documents.
There are no more ghost hands, and there is a Buddha heart in the peaceful world; Peel off the cocoon and dissolve the corpse, and clearly clear the grievances.
After turning the pages of the book, the record of clearing grievances gave the difficulty of this case: A-level difficulty.
[Get points reward: 1000, lottery chance +1!] DNA testing and toxicology testing will automatically enter the mall, and luminol reagent and purple light will be added, which can be exchanged through points. γ
Li Mi clicked on the turntable, and finally selected a book called "Blood Stain Inquest", which recorded many techniques for inquest of blood stains left by different crime scenes and different criminal methods.
This book made Li Mi's eyes shine, his predecessor as a criminal policeman did have some weaknesses, and the bloodstain test was one of them.
Now the appearance of this book can just make up for the weakness, and it will be of great help to the investigation of the case in the future.
Li Mi carefully put away the book, and then prepared to enter Beijing.
After everything was ready, Li Mi suddenly heard a noise, as if something was nailed to the door.
He opened the door and saw that the courtyard was empty, and there was indeed a dagger stuck in the door, and under the dagger was a letter.
Li Mi took off the dagger, threw it aside, and went into the room to unfold the letter, which surprised him by its contents.
"I'm wondering, should I call you Li Zhutou, or Captain Li? I've been carefully arranging for so many years, but I didn't expect you to really come. You from Quliu Village are very satisfying to me, so even if I admit defeat. But I still have a lot of games waiting for you, are you excited? I'm so excited, I feel like my whole body is going to boil at the thought of being able to fight you again, hehehe, you must not be easily defeated. Li Mi, I'll wait for you to catch me with your own hands! β
At the end of the letter, it was a small graffiti, and when Li Mi looked closely, it was actually a mask pattern.
His blood froze.
Who is this man? How do you know who you are, is he provoking himself?
Li Mi pondered for a long time, and his mind flashed one by one of the criminals who had been personally arrested in the past, but he had never had an impression of the other side.
In any case, this is not a friendly signal, and Li Mi has a hunch that a conspiracy against him is about to strike.
