To say action is to act.

The action was very fast, and soon arrived at Zheng Tuhu's house.

Along the way, Li Mu inquired about the inspection, and the inspection talked about the experience of Zheng Butcher.

Zheng Butcher is not a pig killer, to be precise, Dad is a pig killer. Later, Zheng Tuhu left home to join the army, and when he came back a few years later, he had a lot of money, and then settled in Yong'an Town, bought hundreds of acres of good land, opened a butcher shop, and a cloth shop, grain store, etc., and lived a good life.

Soon, it was time to arrive in Yongan Town.

The house where Zheng Butcher is located is gorgeous and elegant.

"Meet the Inspector!"

Zheng Butcher's wife, with three concubines and a dozen servants, came to greet her.

Patrol inspection, is the director of the police station, controls local security, belongs to the current management, and the authority is still above the county order.

"This is your parents!" said the inspector.

"Meet your parents!" Zheng Butcher's wife and three concubines stepped forward, a little scared. Most of the county orders in this era are not close to the people, but they are feared characters.

"Zheng Butcher is dead!" Li Mu said, with three concubines and more than a dozen servants.

"How is it possible, isn't Xianggong going out to visit friends!"

Zheng Butcher's wife was incredulous.

"Impossible, how could the master die!" a concubine said, "The master died like this?"

The other two concubines seemed to be frightened and couldn't accept all this, trembling all over their bodies, unable to speak.

Walking into the residence, the courtyard was very large, three in and three out, and there were peony flowers planted, Li Mu observed every corner, did not let go of a trace, and said: "Madam, mourn! Zheng Guanren died a miserable death, his head was cut off on the spot, and his body was thrown into the river, and it was only discovered a few days later. ”

"Just identified the body!"

Li Mu said the facts of the case, observing a wife and three concubines, and suddenly said: "As long as the murderer commits the crime, he will leave clues, with the source of the corpse as the center, within a radius of 100 miles, there must be a murderer." There are several types of homicides, one is vendetta, killing people because of grievances, and the other is killing people because of money. These two categories occupy as many as eight layers of the case!"

"What are the other two floors?" asked Liu Qingchan.

"There are two layers, that is, accidental killing, intentional killing!!" Li Mu said: "It's like, a millionaire, one day went to rob a farmer's five taels of silver, and was sentenced to ten years of criminal detention and exiled thousands of miles away, why do you say it!"

Liu Qingchan said: "Then it is needless to say, the official word has two mouths, it is reasonable or not, it all depends on two mouths." It must be a dog official, in order to seek money, fabricate human and material evidence!"

"Ahem, cough, ahem!" Li Mu said in his heart, scolding the bald man in front of the monk, let's give the girl some face!

Li Mudao: "But the court, no! Under the judgment of the county order, the reason is that the person is mentally ill, and it is normal for a mentally ill person to do anything." In the eyes of the mentally ill, everything in the world is possible!"

"What else?" asked Liu Qingchan.

"I can't say!" Li Mu said. For example, the nobles killed, the court magnates killed, and no one dared to judge. It's just that these can't be said, and they say that they destroy the harmony of the court.

Observing everything, Li Mu walked to the study and said, "Mrs. Zheng, this official wants to take a look at your account books, if you kill people for money, it must be related to the account books!"

"Yes, sir!"

Mrs. Zheng said.

Sitting on the chair, Li Mu looked at the account book, and his colleague calculated, and after about half an hour, he closed the account book.

Liu Qingchan said impatiently: "But there is a problem?"

"There's a problem, but I can't say it!" Li Mu said.

As he spoke, he stood up and observed the study. In the study, there are all kinds of books on the shelves, including subsets of scriptures and histories, as well as various art of war, and the shelves are full of books, and on the desks, there are also paper, ink, pens and inkstones, all of which are of the highest quality. Li Mu asked, "Zheng Guanren, do you like to study?"

Mrs. Zheng said: "Xianggong had no money to study when he was young, and he always regretted that he read less, and often regretted that he read less. ”

On the bookshelf, I saw several martial arts cheats "Tiger Roar Golden Bell Jar", "Blood Knife Technique" and "Falling Star Archery Technique".

Li Mu took a general look, these three martial arts are all martial arts in the army, they do not pay attention to skills, do not pay attention to flashing and moving softly, but are simple and direct, ruthless, and kill with knives.

Finally closing the book, Li Mu nodded, didn't say anything, and looked at the wall.

I saw a picture hanging on the wall, in the vast snow, in the heavy snow, a general bent his bow and arrows, hunting a tiger.

"This is the Flame Emperor Tiger Hunting Diagram!"

Li Mudao stepped forward and touched it: "This is a fake, no, it's an imitation!"

Mrs. Zheng said: "The picture of Emperor Yan hunting tigers is a famous painting of ancient times, which was originally stored in the royal treasury. It's just an imitation, but it costs five hundred taels of silver!"

Emperor Yan is the emperor of ancient times, the legend is the origin of martial arts, and many martial arts that are circulating today are spread from that era, any paintings about Emperor Yan, as well as works, etc., were originally collected in the royal family, or in some great families.

Some imitations are also expensive!

Li Mu stepped forward to observe, reached out and touched it again, took down the picture, and tapped it, the wall was hollow.

"Qingchan, do me a favor?" Li Mu said.

Liu Qingchan stepped forward, sucked in his palm, and suddenly three bricks flew out, revealing the face inside.

I saw that the walls had been hollowed out to form a hidden space, and outside was a portal made of 100 steel, on which there were seven gears, and the gears were engraved with words.

Liu Qingchan said: "This is the secret pavilion, specially stored precious things, hidden things, outside is the seven-trick lock created by the Shengong Pavilion, the text on the lock corresponds, it can be opened; if the text does not correspond, it can't be opened at all." ”

"Tangram Lock...... Isn't that a combination lock?"

Li Mu thought.

In this world, many places are backward and not decent, but some places are advanced and not decent.

For example, a tangram lock is a combination lock.

Li Mu stepped forward and turned the wheel, and immediately appeared Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si and other words, after turning a circle, corresponding to the twelve earthly branches.

"Do you have the key to the tangram lock?" Li Mu said.

Mrs. Zheng said: "Only the princess knows, but the concubine doesn't know!"

Li Mudao: "Qingchan, can you crack the tangram lock?"

"Qiqiao lock, there is almost no solution!" Liu Qingzen said: "The only way is to get the key! Maybe the disciples of the Shengong Pavilion can open it...... It's just that most of them won't make a move!"

Li Mudao: "This official has a feeling that by opening the Tangram lock, he can get the key clues of the case!"

As he spoke, he observed it carefully, recalled the methods of cracking the lockbox in later generations, and asked, "Can you brute-force it!"

"No, absolutely not!" Liu Qingchan said: "Tangram lock, there is gunpowder inside, once it is brute-forced, it will cause the gunpowder inside to explode, and all the things in the box will be exploded!"
