Thinking of the thick calluses on the soles of the deceased's feet, Li Yi felt that the situation was not optimistic.
The thick cocoon must have been caused by years of travel, so the possibility of the deceased traveling to Shu and Zhaozhou is very high.
Gan Ci suddenly thought of something and said, "Mr. Li, do you think... this jade bracelet was carved by the deceased? The deceased's fingers were slender and there were so many minor injuries. He was very likely a jade craftsman who carved jade artifacts!"
Li Yi nodded. He actually thought so, but why does a jade craftsman run around all year round? Usually, jade craftsman stands quietly in the inner room to polish jade.
"Perhaps, the four words on this jade bracelet can be deciphered for me." Li Yi thought about it.
At this moment, Chu Ping came over, his face looked a little ugly, and he said to Li Yi in a deep voice: "A bad news."
"What bad news?" Li Yi asked curiously.
Chu Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Just just now, the county magistrate told me that the high-ranking official knew about the murder case and ordered us to solve the case in three days."
"Ah?" Li Yi was stunned, he wondered, "This murder happened last night. Why did the superiors know so quickly? Someone informed me?"
Chu Ping sighed. Unlike Li Yi, the people in his yamen naturally knew that it was the reason for the open and secret struggles of his superiors: "Stop worrying about this, our task has become very heavy."
As he was talking here, the middle-aged county magistrate with a dark face came over there. He smiled at Li Yi: "Brother Li, are there any clues now?"
Originally, he, as an official, didn't have to be so polite to Li Yi, but now he is using a case-based genius like Li Yi, so he knows how to be polite and polite.
Li Yi and Chu Pingwei bowed, and Gan Ci heard them call this person "county lieutenant" and hurriedly bowed.
Li Yi hesitated for a moment, presented the jade bracelet, pointed to the four small words and asked: "Sir, this jade bracelet is very likely carved by the deceased. If we can find out what these four words mean, we may be able to clarify the identity of the deceased."
The county magistrate took the jade bracelet and looked carefully for a while, and said suspiciously: "This... seems to be a text from Shu."
Gan Ci secretly glanced at Li Yi and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that he was guessing correctly...
Li Yiyi was happy: "Can you recognize this word?"
The county magistrate shook his head: "This Shu language is not common. Not to mention the official, unless he is a native of Shu, there are probably not many people in Pingji County who know each other."
Li Yi was disappointed, and he asked again: "Sir, I wonder if we can allow the autopsy and autopsy?"
"Secretory of the body?" The county magistrate was stunned and hesitated, "Is it necessary?"
Gan Ci wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that the county magistrate had a serious black face, he couldn't speak timidly.
Li Yi noticed Gan Ci's fear and knew that the girl was weak in character. Li Yi intended to restore her confidence, so he affirmed loudly: "We are completely unknown to the identity of the deceased now, and severing the body may give us a possibility."
The county magistrate said in a deep voice: "If you can't get valuable information and disturb the dead souls, do you have to bear this responsibility?"
When Gan Ci heard what the county magistrate said, his calves became softer, and his timidity almost occupied all his mind.
Li Yi smiled and said, "I believe our Gan Corp. Since she said it was OK, it would definitely be OK."
Gan Ci trembled when she heard this, her gentle eyes were filled with emotion. She clenched her fists and stood straight.
The county magistrate was also eager to solve the case. Anyway, no one claimed the body, and even if it was damaged, there was no need to explain it to his family. He coughed lightly and said, "Miss Gan... Miss Gan, if you can really find something useful, it is not bad for me to accept you as a coroner in the yamen."
Gan Ci understood the county magistrate's words after realizing it, and couldn't help but express her joy. It was only after Chu Ping's reminder that she stammered and thanked her repeatedly.
The county magistrate smiled and said, "It is a way to be an official. If you want your subordinates to serve, you will be able to be kind and powerful. Only big sticks and no sweet dates, who will devote your efforts to you?"
He turned his eyes to Li Yi again and said slowly: "I heard from Chu Ping that Brother Li is interested in buying a shop and selling a business?"
Li Yi said: "Just support your family."
The county magistrate smiled and said with great meaning: "Brother Li is very knowledgeable. He is a natural genius in case-based judgment. Isn't it a talent for businessmen to be inferior?"
Li Yi sighed and said, "I am used to being idle, and I can't stand such daily points."
The county magistrate heard that he was polite to refuse and said it was a pity, but with his official style, he would not easily give up his olive branch.
"Okay, if Brother Li changes his mind, I hope to tell me the first time."
Li Yi pretended to be grateful, but he didn't agree.
Seeing that although he was young, he was well-behaved and had a basis for advancement and retreat, he was indeed a talented man, and asked again: "The clues are basically cut off now. What do Brother Li have any ideas?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Yi said, "I want to go to the crime scene to take a look."
...
At the back of the yamen, Diao Nan entered Wang Zhuzhu’s office room with his butt. Wang Zhuzhuzhu saw his appearance and snorted coldly: “Is it a mess?”
The chief clerk is a affairs officer of some official offices and local governments, in charge of household registration, arrest and document handling affairs.
In Pingji County, where there is no county magistrate, Wang Zhuzhu is the first person under the county magistrate and a well-deserved second-in-command in the yamen.
As for the county magistrate, it is the third in command.
Wang Zhubu looked thin, with protruding cheekbones and a thin beard under his lips, like a shrewd businessman. Although he is in his forties, his eyes are still full of energy. His eyes swept over Diao Nan for a few times, and his face is cold.
Diao Nan didn't care about the pain in his butt and kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, I really didn't expect a genius to suddenly appear! Otherwise, how would he solve the adult's plan with two stupid people, Zhao County Wei and Chu Ping?"
It turned out that the pit set up by Diao Nan was not just for himself to seek a captain position. He was ordered by the Chief Wang to dig a pit for Zhao County Wei.
If Zhao County Wei really convicted Liu He, the unlucky man, then the chief clerk of King Wang could immediately report his crime of "unknown official position" to the superiors, but he did not expect that he would fail.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Li Yi?" Wang Zhuan Zhuang said in confusion, and he wrote, "Is it the young man who broke the 'headless case' before?"
"That's right! It's him!" Diao Nan was so angry that he was tiring.
"Chen Yaojin came out halfway!" Wang Zhuan pondered for a moment and snorted, "Although this plan cannot be achieved, I have already learned about this case. If the case cannot be solved within three days, he, the Zhao County Magistrate, still wants his official position to be unprotected!"
"Sir, you're so tall!" Diao Nan said quickly.
The king's clerk snorted coldly: "These days you have let you look at the stupid son of the county magistrate. Have he done anything ridiculous?"
Diao Nan said: "Recently, a courtesan from Shu has arrived in Miaoyu Pavilion. He is said to be a charming beauty, but it is rare to see a daughter. The county magistrate is thinking about how to be the guest of the courtesan."
The chief clerk frowned and thought, now that the term of office of the county magistrate of Pingji County is about to expire, the number of officials above is tight, and no one can be sent for a while. The position of the next county magistrate is likely to be his or Zhao County Wei.
Unlike the county magistrate and the county magistrate, he was not from the imperial examination. In the eyes of the above, this is equivalent to missing a "university diploma".
Therefore, although Zhao County Wei is only the third in charge of the yamen now and has power under him, as long as the county magistrate slapped his butt and left, Zhao County Wei may become the successor to the county magistrate and ride on his head.
The chief clerk of Wang naturally could not tolerate such a thing happening, so he sent Diao Nan to dig a hole for Zhao County Wei.
After thinking for a while, the chief clerk Wang said to Diao Nan: "Our county magistrate is an old loach, he is sloppy and he is not hiding his work. His only weakness lies in his stupid son. Think of a way to make his stupid son have a conflict with Zhao County Wei."
The election of the next county magistrate is also related to the recommendation of the previous county magistrate. If the county magistrate fights with the county magistrate, he may be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Diao Nan said bitterly: "But... the job of a humble official was removed from the county magistrate. If the humble official does not have this position, it would be inconvenient to think it would be..."
The king smiled. How could he not know that Diao Nan was trying to please him. He said angrily: "What's the hurry? When I become the next county magistrate, how can I be worse than yours?"
You are showing off your power in Pingji County, and there are countless friends from all walks of life, so it will be inconvenient? I won’t leave this position of captain for you, who will I leave it to?"
Diao Nan was overjoyed. He wanted this sentence. Since he had boarded the ship of the King of Lords, he naturally had to do his best to row.
"I'm not leaving yet, waiting for me to drive people away?" The chief clerk of the king saw Diao Nan hesitating there, as if he had something to say.
Diao Nan hesitated and said, "Sir, that Li Yi... has some tricks. If he helps the county magistrate solve the case, will the adult's plan be lost again?"
Diao Nan didn't hate Chu Ping and Zhao County Wei very much. In his opinion, the two of them were very simple to deal with. On the contrary, Li Yi was smart and clever, which made him lose his official position and embarrass him. It was simply hateful!
The chief clerk Wang glanced at him and said contemptuously: "But you can't solve it even if you have a white dick? You can only make a round and flat product with three or five gangsters. Do you still need to give me a plan?"
Diao Nan's eyes lit up, he slapped his head and shouted, "It's amazing! Why didn't I expect it? I'll just finish finding a few green skins to deal with him?"
"Get out."
