Song Huifu took the people from Chaosi to the ruins of Wanli Gambling House to check to see if they could find any useful clues in the fire site.
Wang Zhenwei, the commander of the Anti-Theft Department of Dali Temple, also came to support.
Just last night, Liu Wangshu, who went to Pingshan County in Jizhou, rushed back to Dali Temple day and night. The defense manpower in Dali Temple in the divine capital was liberated, and Wang Zhenwei was able to spare his time to support Wannian County.
At the same time, Wang Zhenwei also brought a piece of news.
"Sir, this is the secret message that Master Ji asked me to bring you!"
Yang Qingyuan took a bamboo joint brought by Wang Zhenwei. The seal was sealed with wax and stamped with the official seal of the Guangwen Department to prove the integrity of the seal.
This is already the second highest level of information in Dali Temple! Unless it is designated to be handed over to a specific person, only those with two or more lines are qualified to unseal and view it.
Yang Qingyuan opened the wax seal and found a cipher text encoded in numbers.
The password dictionary was compiled by Yang Qingyuan and has been memorized in my heart. There is no need to look up the dictionary at all.
Because Yang Qingyuan narcissistically used his own original and borrowed poems as the code dictionary of Dali Temple.
"According to Li Yue'er's recollection, Yaya seemed to have seen his father in the capital of gods five days ago!?"
Li Yue'er was Fangyuan's subordinate and was once responsible for taking care of Yaya.
At this time, there were only three people in the room: Wang Zhenwei, Di Zhiyuan and Yang Qingyuan.
"Is this what Chief Ji found out?!" Di Zhiyuan asked.
This information is confirming Yang Qingyuan's and Di Zhiyuan's previous conjecture.
There may be something wrong with Li Shou's appearance!! The murderer may have disguised himself as Li Shou, or even Li Shou's appearance is very similar to the murderer! The murderer also silenced himself because he was afraid of being recognized.
Di Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, "What a pity, everyone who may have seen Li Shou is dead now! There were originally Yaya and Grandma Li, but I didn't expect the murderer to be so ruthless and decisive."
Yang Qingyuan did not comment, but said slowly:
"It makes no sense to say this now! The question is how to find the person who may look similar to Li Shou!?"
Shendu is the largest city in the world, and its registered and unregistered population combined is estimated to be six to seven million!
How is finding one person among these people different from finding a needle in a haystack?!
"There's another clue!"
Yang Qingyuan put on a whale skin glove and took out a white jade fan pendant from the evidence bag in his arms.
"This is the fan pendant I got from Liu's house. According to Meng Jue, this is the token of love exchanged between Miss Liu and 'Li Shou'!"
Di Zhiyuan and Wang Zhenwei on the side also put on whale skin gloves.
"This fan pendant, Miss Liu...Ms. Meng regarded it as a treasure. After Meng Xue's death, it was collected by Meng Jue. Therefore, there should not be many fingerprints on it. There may even be only three fingerprints on it: Li Shou, Meng Xue and Meng Jue.
Human fingerprints.”
Di Zhiyuan also smiled and said, "In other words, Li Shou's fingerprints can be found on it!"
"If fingerprints that do not belong to Li Shou, Meng Xue and his daughter are found on this, then these are the fingerprints left by the person who pretended to be 'Li Shou' and raped and killed Meng Xue!"
"This is really in line with the words of your Excellency, 'There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, but there is still a village full of bright flowers and bright willows'!"
Yang Qingyuan also smiled, "Yes!"
Wang Zhenwei on the side was stunned for a while, explaining that Li Shou pretended to be Li Shou and stayed with Yang Qingyuan, Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu, but it was easy for him to be out of his mind!
Everyone laughs at Ye Jianhan, but everyone is Ye Jianhan!
Sometimes, being a swordsman or a thug can make life much more nourishing!
Not only that, Yang Qingyuan also collected Mengxue's thumbprints in Mengxue's boudoir, as well as the thumbprints of Mengxue's personal maid, the deceased Chunxue.
After eliminating the distractors, what remains is the answer.
Yang Qingyuan took out the grain-revealing powder and sprinkled it on the white jade fan pendant. This step was originally supposed to be done in the darkroom, but in order to save time, Yang Qingyuan, although Wang Zhenwei and Di Zhiyuan could not see it, Yang Qingyuan's Taoist eyes increased.
The innate body double buff can see fingerprints clearly with the naked eye, coupled with his amazing memory of text and graphics, Yang Qingyuan can directly transform into a fingerprint scanner.
"Zhiyuan, bring me the piece of paper with Li Shou's fingerprints on it!"
Di Zhiyuan and Wang Zhenwei on the side looked at the white jade fan pendant in Yang Qingyuan's hand, completely unaware of what was happening!
I stared at the white jade fan pendant for a long time, but found nothing and felt lonely!
Although he didn’t know what Yang Qingyuan saw! Di Zhiyuan still obediently took over the three pieces of paper with Li Shou’s thumbprint!
Yang Qingyuan glanced at it with a solemn expression!
Now there is conclusive evidence to prove that the person with whom Meng Xue made a lifelong private decision is not Li Shou!
The case has made great progress again.
But it also means that an unjust case happened under the nose of Dali Temple. Dali Temple even had two opportunities to correct it, but they missed it!
"Sir, what's the result?!" Di Zhiyuan saw Yang Qingyuan's expression and asked.
"I extracted a total of five different thumbprints on this white jade fan pendant!"
Yang Qingyuan continued, "One of them belongs to the deceased Meng Xue, and two belong to his father Meng Jue! But there are two fingerprints that do not belong to anyone known!"
"It's not Li Shou's?!"
Yang Qingyuan replied, "It's not Li Shou, nor Meng Xue's maid! These should be the fingerprints left by the real murderer we are looking for!"
Di Zhiyuan also looked solemn. He also participated in the review of this case and did not find out the problem!
"Then what should we do now!?"
Wang Zhenwei on the side looked at the two intellectual leaders and asked the same questions Ye Jianhan asked in the past.
Indeed, although there is the fingerprint of the mysterious fake 'Li Shou', in this era, fingerprints can only be used as evidence to prove the facts of a crime. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to try to find the culprit through fingerprints.
Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan looked at each other, now they can only see what clues there are in Wanli Gambling House!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the evening, Song Hui’s father came back!
"How about Mr. Song?!"
Song Hui's father shook his head, "We can't find many clues! There was soot in the mouths of all the deceased, and due to the gambling house floor tiles and heavy rain, the method of painting corpses with sesame also lost its effectiveness! But judging from the scene,
The deceased in the gambling den should have died in the fire!"
After saying these words, Song Huifu took out a broken pottery fragment from an evidence bag.
"But one thing can be confirmed, this fire was man-made!"
Di Zhiyuan was wearing whale-skin gloves, which resulted in broken pottery fragments, and he seemed to smell a strange smell.
"Zhiyuan, there's no need to smell it! This is the smell of kerosene. I've smelled it before in a fire scene!"
"Other than that, there is nothing special to gain!"
A fire, followed by heavy rain, washed away all remaining clues. Even with Song Huifu's ability, he could not find many clues.
The investigation once again reached an impasse.
But at night, a spirit-wind pigeon from the capital broke the current predicament.
"Sir, Master Di! Mr. Song! Information from the capital!"
Wang Zhenwei took the small note and ran all the way through the door.
Yang Qingyuan took the note and started translating it.
"According to intelligence, Zhou Mingsheng and Feng Qian are behind Wanli Casino!"
Feng Qian, the grandson of Feng Wuyi, Duke of Ying (ying), is regarded as a rare outstanding figure among the noble children. Not only is he good at both civil and military skills, but he also has good friends with many talented people and ladies! He has a wide network of contacts and is a cool person! His grandfather, Duke Feng Wuyi of Ying,
He died of illness early, but survived Taizu's sword. He is now the top nobleman in the capital, second only to the four princes.
"Sir, who is this Zhou Mingsheng?!"
Song Huifu and Di Zhiyuan knew Feng Qian's name, but Zhou Mingsheng had never heard of it!
"Zhou Mingsheng is a businessman!" Yang Qingyuan replied.
"merchant?!"
There is a huge difference in identity between a businessman and Feng Qian! How did the two parties cooperate together!?
But Yang Qingyuan’s subsequent Q&A explained this problem.
"Although Zhou Mingsheng is a merchant and has no official status, he is the brother of Crown Princess Zhou Mingyu and the brother-in-law of the Crown Prince."
Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu looked at each other, but they still hadn't heard of it.
"You haven't heard of it, and that's normal. This Zhou Mingsheng is different from ordinary relatives of the emperor. He not only causes trouble in the capital, but also hides his identity and associates with talented people from all over the world. Although he does business, he can be regarded as a law-abiding person.
There is nothing against the law! Therefore, his reputation in the capital is not prominent. This person’s ambition is not small!”
As the prince's brother-in-law, it is taboo to associate with talented men of letters and nobles from all walks of life!
Everyone thinks that Yang Qingyuan is a princeling, but this is not the case.
Although Yang Qingyuan severely damaged the King of Chu in the water transport case and almost lost the opportunity to compete with the prince, it was not Yang Qingyuan's original intention to help the prince.
Yang Qingyuan has the same attitude as Yu Yanyi, Qian Muqian, Wang Hua and others, and is not involved in the dispute between the crown prince.
For future emperors, as long as there are no big problems with their conduct, it will be the same for them.
If the emperor is virtuous, everyone will naturally be happy.
It doesn't matter if the emperor is mediocre. The purpose of establishing the cabinet is to share the emperor's worries.
For them, the important thing is that there is a normal person sitting in this seat. As for who sits, it actually doesn't mean much.
Even if the King of Chu came to power, he would not dare to take action against Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan represents not just one person! He represents the entire group of pillars of the future country in the thirteen years of Yong'an, the Hanlin Academy and the Scholars, and even the Taoist forces headed by Wudang.
In the dynasty, even the appointment of official positions was not decided by the emperor.
The appointment of senior officials is subject to court recommendation. They are nominated by senior cabinet ministers in each ministry. After more than 60% of the officials participating in the court recommendation agree, they are then submitted to the emperor for approval.
For example, Yang Qingyuan's position as Shaoqing of Dali Temple was promoted through court recommendation!
If the emperor wants to appoint an official directly without going through any procedures, this person may not even be from an orthodox imperial examination.
This will arouse fierce opposition from the entire civil service group.
If he were a person like Taizu, he would not necessarily care about the attitude of the civil servant group! Because even if the civil servant group objects, he can still control the world!
But the king of later generations will not have the courage to fall out with the entire civil servant group.
If you want to follow Taizu's example, you will only end up with the country overthrown and the society in turmoil.
Throughout the ages, there is only one Taizu!
After killing a hundred thousand owls, the sword on his waist was still bloody.
Killing and abstaining from greed are the only way through the ages.
Having said that, Yang Qingyuan's attitude towards the prince is also cautious. After all, he is the crown prince of the country. There is no need to fall out unless he has to.
When they heard the name of the prince, Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu also frowned slightly.
"Sir, do you think Zhou Mingsheng and Feng Qian have anything to do with this case? Could they be the masterminds behind it?"
Feng Qian and Zhou Mingsheng are now extremely qualified people!
Yang Qingyuan did not dare to make a conclusion, "It's hard to say now. I will go back to the capital tomorrow!"
He had to go back to Beijing and use the power of Six Gates and Shenhou Mansion to investigate Feng Qian and Zhou Mingsheng.
The next day, just when Yang Qingyuan was about to get up and return to Beijing, a policeman came to report!
"Sir, there is a group of people! They came to the fire site and wanted to investigate the fire site! They were stopped by the brothers! They were about to take action!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
This group of people arrived a bit unexpectedly, which made Yang Qingyuan feel strange!
"This place has been sealed off by Dali Temple, and no one else can enter without permission!"
A group of Dali Temple policemen stood in front of him with their left hands on the handles of their swords.
"What if we want to force our way in?!"
Just when the leader finished speaking, Yang Qingyuan's voice with true energy arrived!
"Those who forcefully break in will be punished for obstructing official duties and will be captured!"
When the Dali Temple detectives heard Yang Qingyuan's voice, their momentum instantly increased!!
"Keng!"
"Zheng!"
The sword in his palm was slightly unsheathed, as a shock.
"who!?"
Seeing the sudden toughness of the Dali Temple police officer, the leader immediately asked loudly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Qingyuan stepped forward slowly and threw a token to the leader, "Young Qingyuan of Dali Temple!"
The leader looked at the token, but didn't see anything about it. They were noble family generals. Although they knew Yang Qingyuan's reputation, they only thought that he was a fourth-grade official, nothing more than that!
"What kind of thing is Dali Temple!? Dare you interfere with the affairs of our Duke of Ying's Mansion!?"
Yang Qingyuan looked slightly cold, he didn't expect there to be such rampant people in the capital!
Immediately, Yang Qingyuan fired his sword energy and slashed horizontally with his sword, creating a horizontal ditch three feet long and five feet wide in front of the group of people.
"Shut up!"
At the same time, he shouted loudly and reprimanded several servants of the Duke of Ying's mansion.
A figure came galloping from a distance.
The servants of Duke Ying's Mansion saw this and immediately saluted, "See you, Master!"
The person who came was none other than Feng Qian, the grandson of Feng Wuyi, Duke of Ying.
"Who gave you the courage to say such words that despise the dignity of the law?! The reputation of our Duke Ying's government was ruined by you, a bunch of slaves who take advantage of others' power!"
While speaking, Feng Qian kicked the leader, grabbed the token of Dali Temple from his hand, and then walked up to Yang Qingyuan.
"Master Yang, we meet again!"
When others gave him face, Yang Qingyuan naturally returned three points of face.
"Why did the young master come here!?"
"Oh, the Wanli Casino here is also one of my properties. I heard about the fire last night, so I hurriedly came here to check the damage."
Feng Qian opened the folding fan and continued, "I just entered the city. I first paid a visit to the Wannian County Magistrate. That's why I allowed these servants to act recklessly and speak arrogant words. Master Yang does not have to worry about it. He will be punished if he deserves it."
, if you want to kill, kill!"
Unlike the arrogance of several domestic servants, Feng Qian's attitude was very low-key!
