My martial arts rely on solving cases

Chapter 19 The Deceased Liu Baixi
It was dusk when we returned to the Yamen.

It's been almost a day in the sun, and I'm sweating a lot.After taking a cold shower, Su Qing changed into white clothes, took Xiaoya with her again, and went out in a carriage.

Boss Wei's people were waiting outside the yamen for a long time. Seeing Su Qing coming out, he rushed to meet him and lead the way.

The Wei Mansion is located on Zhuque Street, but it is different from the Su Qing Street that Su Qing walked before.Boss Wei's mansion is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Zhuque Street, and the rent here is [-]% more expensive than other places.

"Master Su, please come inside, please come inside... hurry up and knock, what are you doing in a daze?"

As expected of a well-known wealthy businessman in Qingle County, the furnishings in his home reveal the personality of a nouveau riche.

"Master Su, this way please."

"Boss Wei is too polite. This reception standard is a bit high."

"It's not high, it's not high! No matter how high the standard is, it's not too high to receive Mr. Su. Mr. Su, please sit down, butler, tell the kitchen that the food and wine can be served."

After a while, more than a dozen women in green tulle filed into the living room and banquet hall, and placed stacks of delicacies from mountains and seas on the dining table.

After the dishes were served, the group of tulle women did not leave, and then danced lightly amidst a burst of music.

"Master Su, Caomin respects you."

"Mr. Wei is polite! Are these dancers raised by Mr. Wei?"

"No, no, these are all actors invited from Tianxiang Pavilion, specially to accompany and dance for Mr. Su."

After speaking, she leaned into Su Qing's ear mysteriously, "I also specially invited Miss Wu Shuang, the top actress in Tianxiang Pavilion, and Miss Wu Shuang will perform the Moon Dance in the Water later on."

Although Su Qing has never been to Tianxiang Pavilion, she has often heard Miss Wu Shuang's name from the mouth of the police officer.Anyway, in their eyes, Miss Wu Shuang is the most beautiful woman in Qingle County.

"This piqued my curiosity."

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Suddenly a rush of drums sounded, and then the dancing women in Tsing Yi gathered together, and a tulle woman in green clothes gradually rose from the crowd.

Originally, Su Qing thought that so many green-clothed dancers present were beauties after thousands of choices. Even if Xiaoya and Qiaodie grew up in Wenwen Su's parents, the two who were influenced by Wenqi were only slightly better. .

But the moment the woman in green appeared, Su Qing suddenly had a new understanding of the word stunning.

Her appearance seemed to have moved the world, raised the threshold of beauty standards, and made the dancers in Tsing Yi who surrounded her look even.

Drinking fine wine and looking at the beauty, Su Qing's eyes were slightly blurred.

"Lord Su, taking advantage of this auspicious day, Caomin dared to ask Master Su something, but I don't know the qualifications of Caomin as an official and businessman in Qingle County..."

"Boss Wei, what do you think is the most profitable industry in this world?" Su Qing asked leisurely suddenly.

"The most profitable business? It depends on the year and the market. Last year, selling tea made a lot of money, but the year before last, selling sea salt was the most profitable. All walks of life may become the most profitable. It’s hard to tell the difference.”

"Ninety percent of the most profitable transactions are written in the Dayu Code, don't you think so?"

Hearing this, Boss Wei gave a jolt.Looking at Su Qing again, she still looks fascinated by the wine, her eyes are clear and sharp like two sword lights.

"Official business can replace the government office to do business. Many business items are the only ones that are franchised by the government. Except for the businesses that are expressly prohibited in the Dayu Code, it is the only business that is good for making money.

Since I have given you this opportunity to make money, I hope you can keep yourself safe, manage your subordinates well, don't even think about things you shouldn't touch, and don't try to leak the taxes you should pay. This officer will keep an eye on you. "

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Boss Wei answered quickly, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Okay, come to the Yamen tomorrow to do paperwork."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, the grass people respect you."

Coming out of Boss Wei's house, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.Boss Wei's enthusiasm was hard to refute, and Miss Wu Shuang's tenderness was even harder to refute, Su Qing unknowingly drank a few more glasses.

Now lying on Xiaoya's lap, squinting and drooling.

"My lord, do you think Miss Wu Shuang is beautiful?"

"Easy as a bird, graceful as a dragon, beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin..."

Hearing Su Qing's answer, Xiaoya straightened her nose slightly and let out an inaudible hum.

"My lord, the sunset and the lone duck fly together, the autumn waters grow together and the sky is the same color, what is the next sentence?"

"If you dare to take advantage of me drinking too much, be careful that I will spank your ass tomorrow."

Xiaoya curled her lips and stopped talking.

After a dreamless night, Su Qing was awakened by birdsong outside the window in the early morning of the next day.

After all, it is pure nature, you can hear birds singing everywhere every morning.

Get up and wash, enjoy the breakfast carefully prepared by Qiaodie, and then start Mr. Su's boring and unpretentious day.

It was already past noon after finishing the official business and replying to the documents, and my stomach was growling with hunger.

"Xiaoya, what is Xu Xiancheng doing? I haven't seen him for several days."

"Young master, have you forgotten that you asked him to conduct a census of the county's population, and record everyone's name?"

"I really forgot. He used to do all these jobs. Now that he's gone, it's my fault."

"Master, you miss him when you're busy, and you bother him when you're free?" Xiaoya joked, covering her mouth.

"grown ups--"

At this time, Catcher Li came with a striding gun in a hurry, stopped outside Su Qing's study door and shouted.

"what's up?"

"I received a charred corpse in the morning. It has just been tested. It seems that it was burned after being killed."

As soon as Catcher Li's words came out, there was a slight tremor in his mind, and the case record popped up automatically, with a faint blue light flashing on the cover of the case record.

Su Qing was secretly happy, it seemed that at least it was the blue case.

Standing up quickly, "The body is in the autopsy hall?"

"Yes!"

"I'm going right now."

"My lord, let's go after dinner." Xiaoya called out hastily.

"There's no rush, we'll eat after we understand the case."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after you understand the case."

"Aren't you afraid that if I eat it now, I'll throw up when I understand the case?"

He took Li Butou to the autopsy hall, where Wu Zuo was already waiting.On the chopping board of the autopsy, lay a body covered in charred black.

The outer skin is completely black, and even covered with a layer of carbonization.

"My lord, the dead body of the charred corpse is lying flat, with its hands drooping naturally, with the palms spread out, indicating that the deceased did not struggle when he was burned.

The burning pain was the worst of all abnormal deaths. If he had been burned to death while he was alive, it would be impossible for him to appear in this state of death.Therefore, it can be determined that the deceased did not die from an accidental fire, but was killed and set on fire.

The deceased man, whose body was burnt beyond recognition, his appearance and age cannot be recorded. "

"Captain Li, have you confirmed the identity of the deceased?"

"Zhan Zhao took people to investigate, so he should be back by now."

Almost as soon as Li Butou's words fell, Zhan Zhao, dressed in a blue tutou uniform, ran vigorously from outside the courtyard.

Seeing this image, Su Qing couldn't help secretly praising her.This is the demeanor that Nan Xia Zhan Zhao should have.

"My lord, the investigation is clear. The deceased is Liu Baibai."
