Chapter 4: A Master of Solving Cases
Compared to other peers who have traveled through rebirth, Rong Fei is a complete tragedy.
There is no omnipotent system, no talent for hanging the sky, and no famous family background, the only thing you can rely on is the reasoning ability you practiced when writing suspense novels in your previous life, which is barely better than nothing.
Fortunately, Rong Fei has a positive and optimistic heart and has the courage to face the dismal start.
There is no plug-in, and with your own ability, you can also break into a new world.
The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds.
The introductory practice of cultivation is the wind and clouds, and it is the ladder of the glory and non-transformation of the dragon.
Moreover, in addition to practicing the exercises, Rong Fei also has a bigger plan.
After being excited for a while, Rong Fei restrained his divergent thoughts and didn't delay any longer, opened the cloth bag and picked up the top case file and read it carefully.
The officials in the yamen have all been guided by Rong Fei, so the records of the crime scene, the evidence, the interpersonal relationships of the deceased and other clues and information are written in great detail in the case file.
Ji Rouer has been hiding in the kitchen and eavesdropping, although the progress of the business is a little twists and turns, but she believes in Rong Fei's ability, so she has already included two thousand and forty taels of silver bills in the account book in her heart.
When he was in a happy mood, Li Fengjie, who looked at the sharp-beaked monkey's gills, also felt much more pleasing to the eye, so he made a pot of coarse tea and sent it.
"Thank you, Miss Rou'er."
Li Fengjie hurriedly got up and nodded in thanks.
Ji Rouer poured a cup of tea for her with her own hands, and then smiled slightly, just like the peony blossoming.
I have known each other for many years, how could Li Fengjie have had this kind of treatment, flattered and picked up the teacup with both hands, looked at Ji Rouer's back and couldn't help but be a little stupid, and sighed in my heart.
Without waiting for Li Fengjie to eat a cup of hot tea, Rong Fei put down the case file, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and asked Ji Rouer to bring a pen and paper, and the pen was like a flying brush, and handed over the detailed process of solving the case to Li Fengjie.
"Ah, this is broken... Broken? ”
Li Fengjie was a little incredulous and stammered.
Previously, Rong Fei said that his ability to solve the case had improved, and Li Fengjie thought that it was an excuse to raise prices, but he didn't expect that it was really much faster than before.
Rong Fei found the state of solving the case, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and reached out to pick up the second case.
In the Yanei of Fencheng County, Guo Xiao suspected that it was too troublesome to move the case file around, so he simply requisitioned the case room.
At this time, Guo Xiao was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, and on the case table in front of him, the seventeen cases were neatly stacked in three rows.
A handsome young maid on the right side of the desk is studying ink, and a maid on the left is fiddling with the incense burner.
After the ink in the inkstone was polished, and the green smoke wafted out of the incense burner, the two maids retreated to the door and waited, Guo Xiao opened his eyes and picked up the first case.
Guo Xiao is worthy of being a famous disciple of Shushan, reading books is really fast, his fingers turn the pages of the book like playing a pipa, and the two eyeballs move back and forth in the eye sockets, and he will finish reading the case file in a moment.
The content of the case is a woman who has just moved to Fencheng to report the case, saying that her father-in-law went out to buy the day before yesterday and has not returned, and the woman has been searching for no result, so she has no choice but to seek help from the yamen.
Yamen learned from the woman that her husband had gone to a grocery store in the west of the city to buy daily necessities the day before yesterday, so he went to investigate.
The grocery store shopkeeper was a little panicked in the face of the grocer's inquiry, and the grocery store searched the grocery store with suspicions, and found a large amount of illegal salt from the backyard warehouse, and found a huddled corpse in a salt bag.
Later, the woman identified her as her missing father-in-law.
The shopkeeper of the grocery store was brought back to the county government for interrogation, and the shopkeeper confessed that the private salt in the warehouse was stored on behalf of others, and he only charged some storage fees. As for the dead body, it has nothing to do with him.
No matter how the arrest is tortured and questioned, the grocery store shopkeeper gritted his teeth and pleaded not guilty.
Catch fast had no choice but to report the situation, and Guo Muhuai had no better way, so he could only temporarily suppress it and wait for Rong Fei to come back to deal with it.
"Humph! I thought it was a difficult case, but it turned out to be nothing more than Erer. ”
After finishing the case, Guo Xiao snorted disdainfully.
The two pretty maids at the door immediately cast admiring glances.
"The law of everything in the world has long been recorded in the book by the ancestors of Shushan dynasties, and when you understand the eleventh and twelfth, you can come out to worship the prime minister and tear the soil and seal the marquis. Solving a few mysteries is just a pastime, and it's ridiculous that there are nameless officials who think they can, but it's just a toad at the bottom of a well.
The ancestors are cloudy, and businessmen are the most greedy in valuing profits and thin righteousness. Therefore, the real murderer must be the grocery store shopkeeper, and there is a charge of hoarding illicit salt, which should be beheaded! ”
Guo Xiao picked up a pen and wrote a line of words on the paper - Liu Er, the shopkeeper of the murderer's grocery store.
As the county master, Li Fengjie naturally knew about this case, and in his heart, he also thought that the grocery store shopkeeper should be the real murderer.
But Rong Fei's detailed solution to the case gave a different answer.
First of all, Rong Fei is sure that the grocery store shopkeeper is definitely not a murderer for two reasons.
First, it is unconscionable to leave the body in one's own warehouse instead of discarding it far away after the killing.
Second: A bag of private salt is worth a lot of money, and it is too much to lose by hiding the corpse in the private salt, but it is better to dig a pit and bury it more secretly and safely, and it is not easy to be exposed.
Later, Rong Fei pointed out in the details of the case resolution that the woman who reported the case was seriously suspicious for three reasons.
First: Why did the woman live in the east of the city, so why did her husband go to the west of the city to buy groceries?
Second: There is more than one grocery store in the west of the city, and the woman has not traveled with her husband, why can she directly find the grocery store where the body is hidden?
Third: Why didn't the woman report the crime that day, but did she report it overnight?
At the end of the detailed process of solving the case, Rong Fei gave a specific way to solve the case.
Investigate who the woman has been in contact with recently.
Find out who stored the smuggled salt in the grocery store and whether that person has any business competitors.
Although the identity of the real murderer was not directly revealed in the detailed process, it was easy to find out the real murderer as long as he followed the method given.
Li Fengjie can't solve the case, but he still has the ability to distinguish. Throughout the detailed process of solving the case, it is reasonable, logical, and convincing.
That's the word... It's a little ugly.
After reading it three times and confirming that there were no typos, Li Fengjie was about to put away the paper, and Rong Fei threw out the details of the second case.
Another broken one?
Li Fengjie was shocked.
This... It's too fast.
Li Fengjie took the details in his hand in disbelief and looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was still as strict as the previous part, he raised his eyes and glanced at Rong Fei, who was flipping through the third case case, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
Although it is a good thing, why is there always a sense of child's play?
In the county government case, the second case cost Guo Xiao a little more time, but in the end, he still relied on his understanding of the sage's quotations, from the perspective of the operation law of everything and the in-depth analysis of human nature, and successfully made a conclusion.
"The foot of the car and ship shop should be killed if he is not guilty. The real culprit must be the coachman. ”
After solving two cases in a row, Guo Xiao felt a little tired, so she asked the maid to bring refreshments to eat and drink, and then closed her eyes for a while, and then picked up the third case.
There were two cases to warm up, Guo Xiao felt that he had figured out the trick of solving the case, and the next cases were solved quickly, almost an hour later, he had finished reading the eleventh case and wrote the name and surname of the real murderer on the paper.
Hmph, solving eleven unsolved cases in an hour is so efficient even if there are a few people in the world.
The complacent Guo Xiao put down the brush, walked to the window and looked at the blue sky and white clouds to relax his sore eyes, and the two maids also hurriedly went to change the incense and tea soup.
At the same time, in the small courtyard of Osmanthus Lane.
The detailed process for solving the seventeen cases has been written, and Li Fengjie pressed his handprint on the IOU with a bitter face, and couldn't help but complain.
"The two of us are colleagues and old acquaintances, but Rong Zhutou can't trust Li like this?"
Rong Fei picked up an IOU worth three hundred and forty taels of silver and dried the ink on it, and handed it to Ji Rou'er with a smile on her face along with the silver ticket, and then she hugged Li Fengjie.
"My brother settles the accounts, Master Li is not strange, not strange."
Li Fengjie shook his head with a wry smile, put the sorted out case file and the details of the settlement of the case into a cloth bag, wrapped it, and arched his hand towards Rong Fei to say goodbye and leave.
"I'm tired."
Ji Rouer handed over a hot towel and looked at Rong Fei, who was full of tiredness, and said distressedly.
From Danzhou to Fencheng, it takes four or five days to travel by foot. Rong Fei returned home this morning, and before he had time to wash and eat, the black market merchant first informed him that the goods had arrived, and then Li Fengjie came to the door.
Ji Rouer originally wanted Li Fengjie to wait first, so she had to let people eat and drink. But Rong Fei was worried about getting together the money to buy the cultivation exercises and elixirs, and he washed his face indiscriminately and began to solve the case.
"I'm getting tired of being a dog."
Rong Fei stuck out his tongue and grimaced.
"Freshly made braised pork and rice in the kitchen, take a shower when you're full, and go to bed. Now that the money has been gathered, and the time given by the shopkeeper is also abundant, I will have a good rest today, and it is not too late to go tomorrow. ”
"No, if you don't get anything, your heart is always unsteady. I went to buy things in the afternoon after a sleep, and I never had to wear these Rausch gloves again. ”
Rong Fei grabbed Ji Rou'er's hand with deerskin gloves and said with pity.
Although Qi Xiutai, the old man, rescued Ji Rou'er, who had half a foot in the ghost gate, his unsightly hands that were gnawed by wild dogs were difficult to repair, leaving hideous and terrifying scars.
Since then, even in the hot summer, Ji Rouer has worn gloves and refused to take them off, and has suffered many white eyes and criticism for this.
The pain and suffering, the closest Rong Fei naturally empathizes.
Ji Rouer withdrew her hands, glared at Rong Fei shyly, and left home to go to the hospital after a few words.
In the case room of the county government, Guo Xiao felt that the soreness of his eyes had eased a little, and he was about to turn around and go back to continue looking at the rest of the case files, when he saw Li Fengjie holding a cloth bag, and trotting to the back office like a thief.
Guo Xiao's heart moved, and he shouted.
"Master Li is in a hurry, what is the matter?"
