Chapter 1795 The Dead

Naturally, such transactions were recorded, and the shopkeeper took out the ledger to check and found out that the person who bought the shoes was a man named Stedi.

Li Ziyu didn't know who Stedy was, but all the detectives in the police station knew.The master in charge of the Wenlan Academy has been arrested because he was involved in acting as a middleman to buy a murderer to attack the Chaoshan Guild Hall, and is now being held in the prison of the government office.

Wuxiang immediately raised Shi Tidi for interrogation.When Shi Tidi heard that he was asking about buying shoes from Changyu, he was straightforward and immediately admitted that he had done it himself.

It turned out that he bought these shoes for the students of Wenlan Academy.As the largest and richest academy in Guangzhou, there is so-called "clothes and shoes money" every year-each person can get a cotton ruler and two pairs of shoes.Shi Tidi, as the master of Wenlan Academy who is actually in charge of specific affairs, it is very common for Shi Tidi to choose fat and devour it.

It turned out to be like this.Wuxiang thought, since the shoes were bought by Wenlan Academy, the victim is likely to be a student of the Academy or a related person.

"Have all the shoes been sent out?"

Shi Tidi said that this happened at the end of last year, and the shoes had already been distributed.There are more than a dozen pairs left untouched in the academy.

Wuxiang immediately called the police to the college to bring in the roster of shoes distributed on New Year's Eve last year and the remaining shoes.After comparing the shoes, it was confirmed that they belonged to the same batch of Changyu as the burned shoes.

Now that the case has developed, Mu Min feels that things may not be as simple as imagined.She ordered the establishment of a special task force, led by Wuxiang, to take charge of the case.At the same time, Li Ziyu and Zhao Gui were added to the task force.

The task force visited one by one to investigate the whereabouts of the shoes.Finally, after investigation, it was confirmed that there were more than 240 people who received the shoes in Wenlan Academy, including students, teachers, and handymen.

Most people still remember these two shoes, because the quality is really not good.Whether you wear it yourself or wear it for someone else, basically within three months, the soles of the shoes are either cracked or worn out.Everyone is very calm about such inferior shoes-because the things distributed in the academy have always been so "black hearted".For example, the blue cloth rulers issued with the shoes also have rough holes, and they can't soak in the water, and they will be ruined when they fall into the water.

However, some people who received the shoes were not in the academy.The police checked and found 31 people whose whereabouts are currently unknown.Most of them asked for leave from the academy for various reasons, but Gao Chongjiu knew that most of these people were because of the Australians entering the city, and he was afraid of what might happen if he stayed in Guangzhou, so he simply went back to the countryside to hide from the limelight .

After some investigation, Gao Chongjiu reported that out of the 31 people who were not in the academy, five lived in the local area, neither came to school nor at home, and their whereabouts were unknown.It is recommended that these five people be listed as key targets for investigation.

A, a man surnamed He, from Nanhai County. 40 years old.Zengsheng from Nanhai County, who has been studying in the academy for five years, has been unable to pass the exam.Married.The family situation is more difficult.Relying on parents and parents-in-law for support.One day at the end of last month, I said that I went to drink tea with my friends and talk about things. The family members searched for it for many days to no avail, and have not returned yet.This person studies hard on weekdays and does not make many friends.

B, a man surnamed Cao, 34 years old.A native of Nanhai County, a supervisor.Married.I have studied in the academy for seven years, and rarely go to the academy on weekdays.I went out to drink tea one day at the beginning of this month, but I haven't returned yet.

B, a man surnamed Xun, 26 years old, from Haikang County, Zengsheng in Haikang County.Widowed, studied in the academy for two years.It is said that this person works as a master in a certain rich family and basically does not come to the academy.The last time I showed up at the academy was when I gave money and rice during the Chinese New Year.I haven't seen him come to the academy since then.

Ding, a man surnamed Wang, is 24 years old.A native of Panyu County.Tongsheng.Married.Study in the academy for three years.I often come to the academy and don't like studying.Not long after the Senate entered the city, not only did he stop coming to the academy, but the whole family disappeared.

Wu, a man surnamed Pu, 21 years old, a military household in the guard of Guangzhou.unmarried.Study in the academy for three years.Read more seriously.The Senate disappeared shortly after entering the city, and his whereabouts are unknown at home.

However, the five missing persons did not match the headless corpse found, because according to Liu San's identification, the age of the deceased was between 55 and [-] years old.None of the five missing persons matched in age.

Because students may not wear the shoes themselves, they may give them to relatives, friends or servants to wear, so it seems inappropriate to rule out the suspicion of these five people.

The task force questioned the family members and surrounding personnel of the five people and asked about the whereabouts of the shoes.Except for the man surnamed Wang, whose family has disappeared, and the man surnamed Xun, who does not know who the owner is, other family members recalled the whereabouts of the two pairs of shoes.

In this way, there are only two people whose shoes are missing.Wu Xiang asked people to investigate the social background of the missing Xun Sansheng and Wang Dong in the Academy, and at the same time brought up the history question.This person is in the old land of Wenlan Academy, and he is very familiar with the situation of the Academy, so maybe we can get some useful information from him.

The soldiers were divided into two groups, Li Zhenguo went to the academy to investigate and investigate, and learned about a situation: the head of the academy said that Xun Sansheng was recommended by a certain threshold in the city, and that he was Zengsheng from Haikang County, but no one had seen him. The birth certificate of Kangxian County School.

Because Wenlan Academy is not a government school, it doesn't matter whether the students are really students or not.However, Wenlan Academy has always been famous for its "Article Examination". Even if it is a wealthy family, the children are really incompetent and cannot be a scholar.It's rare to come here without anything like this in the academy.

"Although this Xun Sansheng has entered the school, he has never been to the school to study, but he never fails to come to collect money, rice and other things. Judging by his appearance, words and deeds, he is not a seed for studying." The manager said.

"Which one is the threshold for recommending him for admission, do you always know?"

"Speaking of which, it's quite a big story." The director said, "Master Zhong is taught by Zhong Ai—one of the directors of this academy."

This aroused Li Zhenguo's interest. Although Master Zhong can only be regarded as a first-class tail among the gentlemen in Guangzhou.To unexpectedly recommend a person of unknown origin to enter the academy for no reason, what is the origin of this Xun Sansheng?
The head of the academy said that this Xun Sansheng was only a name in the academy.On weekdays, except for three quarters to collect money, rice and other items from the academy, I don't come to study.Although people are ugly, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

As for this Wang Dong.The headmaster shook his head, and only said that he was "the boy of the floating wave" and "the rotten wood cannot be carved".The head of the school didn't know much about him, saying that he came to study to pass the time, and he was free to stay or stay in the school.It's just that he often seduces ignorant and handsome students in the academy.Some people were greedy for his money, and he got a few of them, and there were always jealousy, which made the academy a mess.

"Speaking of such a student, our academy can't tolerate him. It's just that the teacher in charge of history insists on him, so he is allowed to mess around in the academy. Alas! What a shame!"

Judging from the expression on the head of the academy, the resentment towards Shi Tidi's hijacking of the academy was beyond words.

Li Zhenguo came out of the academy and rushed to Zhongzhai. Mr. Zhong said that this Xun Sansheng was indeed recommended to the academy by him, but in fact he was his family's master—the reason for recommending him to the academy was to get a share of money and food.Such things are tacitly understood by the directors.

As for Xun Sansheng's whereabouts, Mr. Zhong said that there has been chaos outside recently, and people in the village in the countryside are uneasy. He sent Master Xun to the countryside a few days ago.

As for the shoes given out by the academy, he naturally has no impression.But the shoes should be worn by Master Xun himself—"His wife died, and no one made shoes for him. Can I not wear the ready-made shoes?"

Here, Wuxiang's interrogation of Shidi also got important information. It turns out that Wang Dong has a lot of background, and he is the young master of the "Ditch King" family.

It turned out that this Wang Dong was the son of Wang DaNiao, the labor leader Liu Xiang wanted to find.His family got the nickname of "Ditch King" because of the hereditary work of dredging and dredging the ditch, and they have the "Ditch Map" in their hands.

Wang Dayiao disappeared without a trace shortly after Liu Xiang entered the city, and his son disappeared with him, leaving only the female relatives and servants at home.The Ren Police Station made a secret investigation in and out of Guangzhou, but they still didn't find a single hair.

Unexpectedly, this case would involve Wang Dayiao!When Li Zhenguo came back, the two paired up the situation and felt that Wang Dong's side was more suspicious.At this time, Li Zhenguo put forward a hypothesis: the deceased was Wang Dayiao!
No matter in terms of age or body shape, the deceased and Wang Da Niao were very similar.

Wu Xiang was not quite sure, because the information said that Wang Da Niao was just a hereditary foreman under the government office workshop, who was in charge of clearing ditches and dredging silt - in the yamen servant system, his rank was the lowest.He was just a foreman, and he had to work hard, but the deceased was well-built, with underdeveloped muscles, no calluses on his limbs, and delicate white skin... No matter how you look at it, he was a wealthy old man with a comfortable life.

"You don't know about Captain Wu. He is a foreman and his family is very rich." Gao Chongjiu listened to their conversation, and interjected that Wang's family had a ditch map in hand and never cared about the specific construction. They all asked their apprentices and grandchildren to dig ditches—although the heads of the Wang family had a humble status, they had a lot of private wealth in the family.

"...I think the deceased may indeed be Wang Da Niao, the body shape is really similar - now there are shoes as evidence."

"Since his family is rich, why does he wear such inferior shoes?"

"It's not surprising," Gao Chongjiu said, "Wang Da Niao is usually very stingy, and he is willing to spend money on women and sons. Food and clothing are not considered elegant."

"Assuming that the deceased is indeed him, why did the murderer kill him, and why did he cut off his head and genitals?" Wu Xiang said, "The most valuable thing on him is the ditch map, and the murderer just killed someone and grabbed it. ...why take the risk to do the following series of things?"
