It turned out that when Shitou, who pretended to be Xie Jiyong, beat Huo Shuliang out of guilt, he exposed the wooden carving of a horse's head on his chest, and Zhao Bin saw it.

Zhao Bin, who stepped forward to break up the fight, accidentally exposed the wooden carving of a horse's head on his chest, which was also recognized by Shitou.

Zhao Bin obviously recognized the thing he had carved and recognized the identity of the stone.

Shitou was brought home by the Xie family because of the wooden carving of a horse head, which made him even more sensitive to it. In a daze, the two of them looked at each other.

This direct beating ended so easily in the fight between the students.

Zhao Bin was not only happy that his classmate of two years was his childhood playmate, but he was also worried about Shitou's identity because he knew that Shitou was Aunt Yun's child born in a gangster den and could never be the fourth son of the Xie family.

There must be something wrong with it, and because I had received the favor from the other party when I was young, I didn't dare to call it out on the spot.

After returning to the dormitory, I couldn't sleep at night.

The roommate Huo Shuliang also couldn't sleep because he was beaten for nothing, but Zhao Bin did not dare to discuss his concerns with Huo Shuliang.

After Huo Shuliang went out to relax, Zhao Bin also went out to relax alone.

After leaving, I met Shi Shi in Shuyuan, who was also upset and couldn't sleep.

There was no one around, so Zhao Bin stepped forward to recognize Shi Shi.

Unexpectedly, during the conversation, a stone suddenly rose up and he took a knife to stab Zhao Bin.

Although Zhao Bin has studied in recent years, he is not a sickly scholar.

The adoptive father suffered a broken fortune in the bandits' den. After losing his family, he was so heartbroken that he stopped running the family business. The family had to take medicine and support Zhao Bin's education. It was all spent very quickly.

Therefore, Zhao Bin also worked frequently, his reaction speed was not slow, and he avoided sudden attacks from stones.

The two started fighting each other.

During the day, although Zhao Bin guessed that Shi Shi must have assumed the identity of the fourth son of the Xie family, he did not guess that the fourth son was himself.

He didn't react until Shitou was obsessed with snatching the wooden horse head carving on his neck.

Ask aloud.

Shi Shi admitted that he had impersonated him.

He also said that it was not his original intention, but he was thinking that his friend might have died in the bandit rebellion, and he was short of money to study. It was his mother's last wish to study and get ahead. Only in this way could his mother, who was despised and expelled by her tribe, be able to succeed.

He was buried in the family grave, so he recognized his identity.

Although he felt that he would be sorry for his good brother in this way, he also felt that this way, he would have a family and the Xie family would also find their fourth brother, which was the best of both worlds.

But now, Shitou has been unable to get off the tiger. The Xie family is a big family in Chaozhou. With countless gold and silver, Shitou no longer has to face difficulties in life and study. He can also feel the love from his brothers and the support of the servants at home.

.

Besides, as autumn approached, Shitou was extremely afraid that Zhao Bin would reveal his identity.

The glory and wealth that is already in the palm of your hand, the fame and wealth that are so close in front of you, make the stone unable to let go.

He just wanted to get rid of Zhao Bin, the real Fourth Young Master, and he was already in a dilemma, but fate made the two of them meet in the book garden in the middle of the night...

He blamed Zhao Bin for not dying in the bandit rebellion.

He said that Zhao Bin should have died. Zhao Bin would have been dead long ago if he had not asked the second master to keep him a playmate, so Zhao Bin had to give him his life back.

He blamed Zhao Bin for being able to study, for enrolling in a state school, and becoming a fellow student with him.

No wonder Zhao Bin showed up at the wrong time...

However, his skills were inferior to those of others, and the stone was cut by Zhao Bin.

Zhao Bin also slapped Shitou because of his despicable sneak attack and his dark thoughts.

After the murder, Zhao Bin was in panic and terrified.

Although he killed someone in self-defense, killing is killing. I thought about my adoptive father's expectations and the home I had never returned to, and I thought a lot...

In the end, Zhao Bin chose to blame Huo Shuliang.

It is not known whether Zhao Bin's confession is true or not, and Chen Yuan did not have much time to stay in the Zhizhou Mansion to wait for the results of the investigation.

However, Zhao Bin's words were enough to prove Huo Shuliang's innocence.

The unlucky guy Huo Shuliang was released from prison that night.

This trip is not in vain.

Huo Shuliang, who had regained his innocence, was still waiting to thank Chen Yuan.

Unexpectedly, I arrived early the next day and heard from the government official in Zhizhou Prefecture that Chen Wuzuo had left overnight.

Huo Shuliang was filled with regret.

But he also understands that those who are capable work hard, and a powerful co-worker like Chen Yuan must be busy. It is a great kindness to stay for him for one day and wash away his grievances in one day.

"I wonder what poor people are waiting for Chen Wuzuo to wash away his grievances and seek justice."

"Fortunately, Chen Wuzuo is already on his way."

"It's just that running around like this is really hard, not to mention that she is still a woman..."

Qiu Wei felt sorry for Chen Wuzuo who came here just for him.

Huo Shuliang gathered his thoughts and returned to the state to study steadily.

………………

Chen Yuan, who was being remembered by Huo Shuliang, had already fallen asleep in the carriage.

In ancient times, there were no flat asphalt roads. The road was crushed by horse-drawn carriages, and the overlapping ruts created a lot of pits on the road.

If the carriage ran slower, the bumps would not be so severe.

However, Liao Zhizhong's return home was as fast as an arrow, and Chen Yuan could only rely on sleep to escape the uncomfortable bumps.

As soon as I woke up, I arrived at Suizhou Prefecture.

Chen Yuan took a short rest, washed and changed clothes at the post station, and was then taken to the magistrate's house by Liao Zhizhong.

The night before, after Zhao Bin confessed the case, Liao Zhizhong showed her the letter written by the county magistrate.

The county magistrate asked her to follow Liao Zhizhong and follow Liao Zhizhong's instructions to go to the Suizhou magistrate to investigate the case.

In Liao Zhizhong's view, the real culprit in the death case of "Xie Jiyong" has already confessed the case based on the evidence found by Chen Yuan, and the possibility of a recurrence of the case is extremely small. The purpose of testing Chen Yuan's ability has been achieved, and there is no need for her to stay

Chaozhou Prefecture awaits the results of the investigation.

Although the case affected the heart of the prefect, what Chen Yuan saw after entering the house was not the prefect.

Liao Zhizhong took her directly to Suizhou Prison Master Feng Delin.

Chen Yuan liked the cold and solemn manner of the warden and the orderly work environment.

The behavior of the head of a department can also be seen from the attitude of his subordinates in handling errands.

The Prison Department is in charge of the criminal cases of a government and needs to be strict and discreet. If the officers in the entire department are lazy and lazy, Chen Yuan will not feel comfortable cooperating with them.

Criminal investigation is never a one-man show.

She may be able to use the knowledge of later generations to investigate the scene and dissect the corpse to obtain some mysteries that people of this era cannot solve, but arrests, reasoning, interviews, etc. all require teamwork.

"Greetings to the Lord Prisoner!"

Feng Delin sat behind the desk and raised his hand, "Chen Wuzuo, there is no need to be polite, just watch your seat."

"Liao Xingshu, you also sit down."

"Thank you, sir!"

Chen Yuan sat down generously and started to look at the excited Liao Zhizhong.

Feng Delin took out a volume of cases, spread them out on the table, and looked at the two people sitting down with a solemn expression.

"I think Liao Xingshu already told Chen Wuzuo about coming on the way here."

Chen Yuan did not dare to say more, "Liao Xingshu said that he needs his subordinates to help investigate an old case."

"As far as I know, Chen Wuzuo can see many clues from the bones, and the method he uses does not come from "The Record of Clearing Wrongs."

"I read many books when I was young, and all my investigation knowledge comes from those books. If there are situations recorded in the books, I should be able to see the clues. If there is no mention in the book, there is nothing I can do."

This case attracted the attention of the prefect, and since it was of great importance, Chen Yuan was afraid of being blamed, so he answered very cautiously.

The Lord Prisoner has already inquired about Chen Yuan's identity and the reason for changing her name. He naturally knows that the books she has read have been confiscated long ago. It is impossible to ask her for them. It is unrealistic to detain her until she confesses them all.

After all, the difficult case at hand is more urgent, and she has also appeared in front of her son Wang Qi, the factory supervisor in Dongchang.

Dongchang didn't arrest her and read silently, so Feng Delin could only think about it. It was a pity that those books fell into the hands of a woman.

But fortunately, Chen Wuzuo also knew how to write down the techniques he used in detail. Perhaps he didn't understand what kind of glory these methods could bring her.

Now that she doesn't know how to hide things, Feng Delin feels a lot relieved. One day, the skills she has learned will be revealed to the public as the number of cases she solves increases.

That’s all.

After resting his thoughts, Feng Delin didn't want to waste time and said directly, "This case is about the grievances between the natal family of Concubine Ning, who was just promoted to the title of Concubine Ning."

These old-timers in the officialdom would not speak too clearly. Chen Yuan understood the deeper meaning of his words after thinking about it for a moment.

Having just been promoted to the Jin Dynasty, it means that Concubine Ning is getting the favor of the Holy Spirit and cannot be easily offended.

Moreover, Concubine Ning's pillow complaint was approved by the Holy Emperor, which means that either the case was really ordinary, but the officials were mediocre and incompetent at the time and did not find the real culprit, which did not arouse the Holy Emperor's fear. Or the murderer behind the case was.
