big week bad guy

Chapter 11
Great copywriting!
Zhao Xun's heart sank.

There are many and complicated yamen in the various departments of the Great Zhou Empire, and each yamen has its own file storage warehouse, but in terms of professionalism, it is completely incomparable with the special file warehouse set up by the imperial court.

The so-called document library is similar to the big data of later generations, which can be combined based on various details to bring important clues to investigators and judges.

It is worth mentioning that neither the Jingzhao Mansion, the Ministry of Criminal Justice nor the Dali Temple can directly access the files in the file library.

Only bad people have this power!
From this perspective, joining bad people is not entirely a bad thing.

At least Zhao Xun can grasp a lot of information that others cannot grasp.

but…

"Brother Jia, He Yushi met Hu Shang in the wine shop on August [-]th and died suddenly at home on August [-]th. This time is too tight. Moreover, the murderer is too short to choose the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is it vicious?"

Zhao Xun analyzed it from the perspective of an ordinary person, but Jia Xingwen obviously didn't care about it.

He smiled contemptuously, and said lightly: "The murderer is vicious? Where is this? You will have a lot of opportunities to meet all kinds of vicious people in the future. Besides..."

Jia Xingwen turned cold and said, "Perhaps it was not a human being who killed He Yushi."

Zhao Xun shuddered and subconsciously took a step back.

"It's not... not a person, is it?"

"It might be a monster. I smelled a monster in He Yushi's mansion, and I picked up some scale powder left by the monster with a soft brush."

Jia Xingwen took out a bag full of scale powder, and then took out a touch and handed it to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun sniffed it, then instinctively frowned.

"Why does this smell so strong?"

It smelled strange, a mixture of stinky and stinky.

"Yes, this is the smell of a monster."

Jia Xingwen nodded slightly, and said with some relief: "It seems that washing the marrow is still useful. If you have the basic aptitude before, you will definitely not be able to smell the evil spirit."

Zhao Xun had mixed feelings in his heart.

In the past, he would never have believed that there were demons in this world.

But since things like time travel have happened, it is not surprising that there are demons and demons in a parallel world with practitioners.

"If it was done by monsters, what is their purpose?"

Although Zhao Xun read many detective novels in his previous life, detective novels are deduced based on the conventional world.

If it was done by a monster, can it be applied?

Zhao Xun thought for a moment, but still decided to give it a try.

"Brother Jia, you can't reason without any evidence. If you say that, you can only say that you have gone astray."

This is what Holmes said, but it is very suitable for Zhao Xun to apply it.

Jia Xingwen was slightly taken aback, muttering silently.

"There is some truth in what you said, but what exactly do you want to say?"

"I just think it's too arbitrary to judge that He Yushi was killed by a monster just from the monster's aura and scales."

Zhao Xun calmed down and continued in a harmonious voice: "According to the statement in the file, He Yushi should have been killed around Zishi. This was inferred from the time when the corpse spots appeared after the autopsy. But according to what He Yushi's servant said, They didn't hear any abnormal noises around Zishi. If they were practitioners, it could be explained by flying with a sword or light work. But if they were monsters, how could they kill people without making any movement and then walk away Woolen cloth?"

"You mean, it is possible that someone deliberately forged the breath of the monster, and then sprinkled the scale powder of the monster in the house?"

Jia Xingwen captured Zhao Xun's point of view very keenly.

"There is indeed such a possibility, and there is a way to try it out."

Zhao Xun actually didn't want to act so hastily at first, but he was helplessly guilty now.

Although His Majesty the Emperor didn't make it clear, the meaning is very clear. Zhao Xun must make achievements in bad people before he can completely atone for his crimes.

Otherwise, although he temporarily saved his life, the emperor's butcher's knife may fall at any time.

It is unrealistic to reason with the emperor in a feudal dynasty.

Zhao Xun can only adapt himself to this era as much as possible in order to survive better.

"What way?"

Jia Xingwen narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at Zhao Xun playfully.

"I don't know if Brother Jia has heard of this sentence. Any perpetrator will leave evidence when he commits a crime. More or less, it is impossible to have no evidence at all. If the crime is committed by humans and then covered up by monsters, maybe We can identify them by taking fingerprints."

"fingerprint?"

Obviously, Jia Xingwen had never heard of the theory of fingerprints, and looked at Zhao Xun in confusion.

"Uh, the so-called fingerprints, Brother Jia can understand it as handprints."

Of course, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the concept of fingerprints, but they definitely knew what fingerprints were.

When you go to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or go down to the prefectural and county government offices, basically people will choose to press their fingerprints when they confess their crimes.

Sure enough, when Zhao Xun said this, Jia Xingwen immediately understood.

"It turned out to be a handprint. But this handprint... er, how to get this fingerprint? Even if someone did it on purpose, they have already escaped. Even if we want to chase it, we will be beyond our reach."

In Jia Xingwen's cognition, the presence of criminals must be present to press fingerprints.

"It's simple, we can use the powder display method to take fingerprints."

Zhao Xun explained carefully: "People's fingerprints will be left on the objects they touch, especially objects with smooth surfaces."

Of course there is no glass in this world, but there are many porcelain, lacquerware and wooden furniture.

It is easy to leave fingerprints on these objects, and the key to the problem is how to extract them.

"We can use graphite powder to spread evenly on porcelain and lacquerware, so that it can show obvious fingerprints."

"But how do you prove that it wasn't left by the dead He Yushi?"

"That's simple. Isn't He Yushi's body in the villain's office now? Let's fetch it and compare it with our fingerprints."

"According to the records of the case study, He Yushi did not reunite after his widowhood. Although his main room was cleaned by servants, the servants would not touch porcelain and lacquerware. Because He Yushi has a cleanliness habit. Of course, if Brother Jia is worried , you can also order all the servants of the He Mansion to extract fingerprints and compare them with He Yushi's fingerprints."

Jia Xingwen nodded: "This is the safest way."

Of course Zhao Xun knew that there was no fingerprint library in this world.

But he did not extract the fingerprints on porcelain and lacquerware to obtain the results directly from the fingerprint database.

All he had to do was to judge whether the murder was committed by a monster or an illusion deliberately created by someone.

Take the fingerprints and compare them.
