"Then, take me to see it."

Since the case is so complicated, Xu Hanliang is ready to go over and take a look.

Soon followed by a group of soap officials, they came to the place where the crime occurred.

The scene has been protected, which is also according to the statement in "Clearing Grievances".

Since the book "Clearing Grievances" written by Xu Hanliang, Jiang Wen likes it more and more the more he reads it.

Reading day and night, a lot of the content in it is naturally memorized in my mind.

When he came to the room, Xu Hanliang looked around.

"Sun Yuan County Ling is extremely heavy, about 180 pounds, if he is killed first and then hung on the beams of the house, it may be a gang crime."

Jiang Wen looked at Xu Hanliang and continued.

"Are there any stools?"

Xu Hanliang then asked.

Jiang Wen was slightly stunned: "Yes, yes." ”

It didn't take long for the official to move two ladders.

Xu Hanliang didn't think much about it, and directly put the ladder on the beam of the house and surveyed it carefully.

It can be seen that the beams are rarely cleaned, but there are two marks that are very obvious.

It seems that something was once fixed to the beams of the house.

After thinking about it a little, Xu Han's conscience was already numerous.

"This shouldn't be a gang crime, but only one person, wait a while and move the ladder outside, I'll take a look."

Xu Hanliang said to a few people.

Soon, Xu Hanliang came to the roof.

As soon as he came to the roof, Xu Hanliang almost slipped on the moss on the roof.

Under his investigation, there seemed to be traces of some people on the roof, and the tiles had also been passive.

After coming down from the beam, Xu Hanliang looked at the county commander: "According to what you said, that Sun Yuan county commander should have been quite strong before his death, is there any trace of a fight on his body?" ”

Jiang Wen shook his head: "There are no other traces on the body except for strangulation marks. ”

"According to this, nine times out of ten, it is an acquaintance who commits the crime, and there is a certain possibility that the crime will be committed again after being stunned, do other people have an alibi?"

Xu Hanliang nodded, and then asked.

"Anyone we know well, we have investigated in the morning, and there really none."

Jiang Wen nodded and continued.

"Is there anything missing in his room?"

Xu Hanliang then asked.

Jiang Wen nodded: "There is nothing missing in terms of property, but according to his wife, some of the manuscripts he wrote are missing." ”

"Manuscript?"

Xu Hanliang asked rhetorically.

"It is said to be a public crime novel, describing what kind of luck was stolen or something, and it is said that it is almost finished."

Jiang Wen repeated Mrs. Sun Yuan's statement.

"Cao Yun stolen?"

Hearing this, Xu Hanliang had to think of a case that happened in Wu County before.

The theft of Caoyun happened about three years ago, and this case even alarmed the capital at that time.

In all dynasties, Cao Yun was a very important way of transportation.

The main purpose is to transport the grain collected from all over the country, or items such as silver taels, to the capital.

The purpose of transporting grain and silver was mainly for consumption in the court, as well as the payment of salaries for hundreds of officials, and military salaries.

Cao Yun not only refers to water transportation, but also can be transported by land.

However, the Cao Yun at the time of the Cao Yun case was indeed by water, and it happened to pass by Wu County.

But for some reason, the boat suddenly capsized within the boundaries of Wu County.

After capsizing, the sailors on board were fine, and they were quickly rescued ashore.

However, when the follow-up salvage, the silver taels on the ship were found nothing, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

At that time, there were 200,000 taels of silver on the ships.

The imperial court was also extremely angry when it learned of this, and dismissed many officials.

Although the incident occurred within the boundaries of Wu County, the officials of Wu County do not seem to have much to do with the matter, so they are not implicated too much.

Until now, the whereabouts of those silver taels have been unknown.

"Nine times out of ten, the person who committed the crime is an outsider, not one of us in Changshu, and there should be only one person."

Xu Hanliang didn't think too much about the Cao Yun case, and there seemed to be little connection between the two.

"But there is only one person, how can it be possible to hang such a heavy Sun County Order, it is simply impossible."

When Jiang Wen heard this, his first reaction was not to believe it.

Xu Hanliang didn't say much, but took the pen and paper from the official on the side.

Immediately after that, he began to draw on paper, and it was not long before he drew a strange device.

"Well, let's go to a blacksmith shop in Changshu and see if anyone makes such a device."

Xu Hanliang handed the painting to Jiang Wen and continued.

"What is this?"

Looking at Xu Hanliang's words, Jiang Wen was confused.

"If you can find it, then it will be much easier to crack this case, if you can't find it, plus it's a foreigner, I'm afraid it will become a headless unsolved case."

Xu Hanliang didn't answer more, but only explained a little.

What he drew was a fixed pulley.

The traces he saw on the beams before were probably such a fixed pulley.

Although in ancient times, there was no concept of pulley sets.

But this kind of thing that can be formed by experience must have been made by someone.

However, the fixed pulley is not widely used, and it is normal for some people not to know.

As for the motive for the crime, this is not something that can be simply deduced.

Especially for crimes like this, there is a high probability that only after the culprit is brought to justice can it be known.

Xu Hanliang always felt that this matter was faintly not so simple.

But he didn't care too much, there were still a lot of things to be busy with now, and he could at most help with this matter.

Whether the murderer can be found in the follow-up can only depend on luck.

It's not that he is unwilling to explain to Jiang Wen how this pulley group works, but the most important thing is that it is too troublesome to explain.

All in all, if he can find a craftsman who has made such a thing,

Then there is a high probability that there is a clue to this case.

Ancient and modern times are not the same, and there is no surveillance, and there are no various criminal investigation methods, so the rate of solving cases is naturally very low.

Even Xu Hanliang can only write a "Record of Clearing Grievances" to help others improve their level of criminal investigation.

What he wrote was just some common sense, and he didn't know anything that was too deep, let alone written.

He discussed with Zhiniang, and when he waited until tomorrow, he would return to Wu County.

Now that the results of lifting people have come out, and the cheap father will soon be escorted into the capital.

Before he entered the capital, Xu Hanliang also wanted him to be happy.
