The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 71
"I haven't seen the wooden stick, but I saw the short knife when Wang Qi went to the county government to pick it up." Wu Ruijiang squeezed out a sneer on his hard face. "What if I've seen a short knife? Is it possible that I've seen a knife that killed someone, and it's related to me, and it has become my personal thing?"

The people onlookers burst into laughter because of this sentence. If the county magistrate dared to respond, he would be seated in the name of an obscure official.

Guan Zhixian didn't answer, and still asked, "Then have you borrowed Wang Qi's short knife?"

"It's not like I don't have a knife myself, so why borrow Wang Qi's knife?"

"Then have you ever touched these two things?"

"Never."

"You really haven't touched these two things?"

"really."

"Sure?"

"determine."

Wu Ruijiang only felt that Guan Zhixian's repeated confirmation was annoying. Could it be that he wanted to ask questions many times to observe the changes in his expression?
I don't think about it!

The goal was achieved, and Guan Zhixian finally showed a relieved smile.

His smile was not hideous, nor could it be glamorous, but it attracted the eyes of people who didn't know the truth in the courtroom to focus on him.

The laughter made Wu Ruijiang feel uneasy, and it also frightened some villagers to feel uneasy. They always felt that there was something weird about Shengtang today, which was different from what they imagined.

Ge Xianwei and Wei Xiancheng, who knew the truth, pouted secretly.

Chen Yuan understood that the three adults couldn't help rolling their eyes, but if they disturbed people and pretended to be coercive, they would be struck by lightning. The better Guan Zhixian felt, the better for her in the future, so Chen Yuan silently followed the adults to watch the governor to tease Wu Ruijiang.

Guan Zhixian shook his head and slipped his beard, and asked in high spirits, pretending to be puzzled, "Then this officer doesn't understand, you have never touched these two murder weapons, why are there your personal belongings on these two murder weapons? "

"Heh, my lord, the villain really can't see anything close to me on these two murder weapons." Wu Ruijiang, who was worried at first, was relieved at this moment, and he didn't know what tricks the dog officer, who was biased towards Dongchang, came up with to coax him. It was impossible for him to be fooled.

"Perhaps the villain's eyes are not as good as the adults', and I really can't see that there is my personal belongings on it." Wu Ruijiang turned around, those firm eyes that were not afraid of life and death, but at this moment sneered, looking at Xiangtang eagerly foreign people.

"I think so many people present should have good eyes, especially there are so many villagers in Dumin villages. They know me and my objects very well. It's better to show them these two weapons, my lord. I also want to know what I have on it." The confident words were full of helplessness and desolation.

Guan Zhixian nodded, "Okay, let's show everyone, but you can only see, not touch."

Wu Ruijiang, "..."

This fainted official is crazy, does he really think he can cover the sky with one hand?Don't you want to cling to the group of neutered dogs in Dongchang?
Zeng Shuisheng stepped forward and walked out of the hall holding the tray flat.

Everyone leaned forward, stretched their necks, and looked at his hand.

Touching, but no one did it. The ancients were most taboo about evil things. Things that have killed people are very bad. How could they touch them.

"It's not just a knife, a wooden stick that is used in the boudoir, and nothing else."

"I don't know what the lord is doing."

"No, look what's on the knife and stick."

"what?"

More people probed, and even Wu Ruijiang was so frightened by the roar that he turned his head and stared at the objects on the tray.

Just now, when he saw that there were no personal items that he was familiar with except the knife and wooden stick on the tray, he felt relieved, and did not look too closely at what was on the murder weapon.

But Zeng Shuisheng turned his back to him, he couldn't see anything, and when he was uneasy, he could only bow his head to comfort himself to avoid being noticed by others.

"Isn't it blood? No, there's white powder, and that powder looks like..."

"like what?"

"Like fingerprints."

"Yeah, how come there are handprints?"

"It's normal to have handprints. There is blood on the knife. When the knife is in hand, the handprint is left."

"Why is there white powder on the handprint?"

Wu Ruijiang, who was originally calm, began to panic in his heart. He was not an empty-headed person. He understood the use of fingerprints on contract documents and files, and a bad guess came to his mind.

"The sages and the masses have sharp eyes, and this county is very pleased. The people under the rule also have a pair of discerning eyes, and they will not be deceived by those who make false claims." Guan Zhixian, who has been wronged, did not feel sorry for himself, but instead praised the people. Fan, I am so embarrassed to brag about it, and it is also inexplicable.

However, the county magistrate immediately cleared their confusion, "You see the white fingerprints on the murder weapon, it is the fingerprint developing powder invented by Li Fei, a new recruit from the county government."

When he said this, the two yamen cooperated and started to demonstrate with his explanation.

"As long as people have taken or touched things, they can be sprinkled with developing powder to make fingerprints invisible to the naked eye show their shape."

One of the yamen pressed on the copper pot and moved his hand away, while the other yamen sprinkled white powder... and then a white fingerprint appeared on the place where the copper pot was touched just now.

"Then use ice paper as thin as cicada's wings and transparent as thin ice to extract the visible fingerprints, and then compare them with the fingerprints of the murderer."

The yamen who worked with Chen Yuan to develop a fingerprint extraction method had already learned the method of fingerprint extraction with her, and took out the "transparent glue" made by Chen Yuan from the small intestine, peach gum, glutinous rice and other materials to cover the white fingerprints on the copper pot. extracted.

Then stick it on black cardboard.

The extracted black and white fingerprints were erected so that the onlookers could see clearly.

And the yamen who just pressed the fingerprint on the copper pot just now pressed the blue ink pad with the same finger, printed it on the paper, stood up, and handed it to the people for circulation.

Guan Zhixian County Road, "You can compare it to see if the fingerprints extracted on the appliance are the same as those printed on the paper."

Hearing this, the only luck left in Wu Ruijiang's heart also dissipated, and the long-planned hoeing plan was cracked so easily.

Under the blow, he roared in despair, and his straight spine softened without being beaten. He knew that it was over, everything was over.

Actually, someone really invented the method of extracting fingerprints!

By the way, Guan Zhixian said who invented it?

The new recruit Li... Li Fei!
Wu Ruijiang turned his head in astonishment and looked at the little girl who had been standing silently behind the yamen.

The little person he never valued, the skinny deaf-mute girl who almost died of exhaustion several times during the exile, and when he arrived in the village, he also saw her running to his house with the scars from being beaten up to ask for help. Thorough eyes, full of desire to release the light of help to him.

What was he thinking at the time?

Even if he assumes the title of the village head, does he have to intervene in the affairs of the Li family?

What he wants to do is to punish evil and eliminate evil, and it is a major event related to the world.

What does the injustice of a little girl have to do with him?
Whether she lives or dies, it depends on her personal creation, and she is incompetent when she dies.

Helping her won't help him in his major affairs, but will increase the risk of his exposure.

Of these exiled officials' families, which one is not dirty, he really doesn't want to be involved in the secrets of the Li family.
