Touring the Ming Dynasty

Yue Yuqi already knew that Duan Fei was furious because of the torture of Guangdansong. His left face covered by the white cloth must have left a Wuzhi mountain. Besides, Duan Fei was strictly forbidden to touch that place. The thirteen masters are strictly forbidden to approach the Wang family's old house. If Duan Fei was not sent by the Yangzhou Tongjuan, he would have been kicked out of Hai'an Town. Now he has received a difficult task. Within a few days, search all over Hai'an Town to find suspicious people.

This is indeed a difficult task. The size of Hai'an Town is close to that of a small county, with a population of more than ten thousand and several thousand households. It is not an easy task to search the whole town. But still try to arrange manpower for Duan Fei.

When everyone came outside the shop, Duan Fei called Butou Yan, Futou Wang, and Li Futu from another county to him. The four discussed in low voices for a while, and then the three brought a few I went to work separately.

There were six people beside Duan Fei, including Yue Yuqi. Under the leadership of Duan Fei, they first found a few nearby Lizhengs, and then searched from house to house with Lizheng's help.

Below the counties of the Ming Dynasty, Lizheng was the largest. Lizheng was basically held by local prominent landlords, squires, or people who had been officials. One Lizheng was basically responsible for the management and tax collection of a hundred households. They are very clear about the number of permanent residents in the family. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current management.

Duan Fei discovered that the surnames of several Lizhengs were Wang, and they were all nephews or close relatives of Wang Dequan. The surname Wang was not a common surname in Hai'an Town, which shows that the Wang family is thriving economically and politically in Hai'an Town.

Duan Fei was very patient. Although he had only asked a few questions, he would not speak up himself, but there were only a few questions. Let Shi Bin, Guo Wei and the others take turns. Hide aside and observe the changes in the demeanor of the person being questioned.

"Is there anyone staying at home?"

"Have you lost anything at home in the past two months? Have you lost any food?"

"Have you seen any strangers hanging around in the past two months?"

……

These questions and the order of the inquiries were drawn up by Duan Fei, and there was even a point at the end, requiring the residents to destroy the food that they could not finish every day, until the government notified them. The implementation of the net and the three-light policy.

Mr. Shi and the others had conducted two or three large-scale arrests before, so that the hotels and hostels were afraid to accept strangers from other places. The possibility of the murderer staying in the hotel for a long time was zero. The hiding place is easy, but if a stranger appears on the street every day to buy food, someone will definitely notice his existence. If no one notices, then the only way for the murderer to stay in Hai'an Town for a long time is to do it piecemeal everywhere. Steal and eat.

Those few questions almost completely included the possibility, after thinking it over, even Yue Yuqi, who was very unhappy with Duan Fei, couldn't help but look at him again with admiration.

The news was collected bit by bit, and Duan Fei took a hand-drawn sketch of Hai'an Town to record it.

The picture was drawn by Duan Fei himself, and what he was holding in his hand was the duck feather pen that was made temporarily again. Yue Yuqi, who was looking at these two things for nothing, looked curiously at him.

"Brother Fei, can you find the murderer by drawing these small circles?" Yue Yuqi couldn't help asking in surprise when he saw that there were more and more small circles on the picture.

"Of course!" Duan Fei said confidently: "Each small circle represents the place where the murderer has appeared, and in some places he has even appeared two or three times. Through the number, density and time of birth of these small circles, and A lot of information can be obtained by comparing the time when the murder occurred."

"I still don't understand." Yue Yuqi said.

Duan Fei explained: "In this way, the area with dense circles indicates that the murderer used to be active in that area, and he may have been hiding nearby during that time. For example, the food in this tavern was stolen five times, and the other students were stolen many times. The places where the food theft happened are relatively well-known snack shops and taverns. Sometimes the murderer even goes to steal food in broad daylight. After excluding accidental factors, these clues may indicate that the murderer is greedy. In addition, have you found out? Except for these hotels and restaurants , the time of food theft in ordinary households is concentrated in a certain period of time... This shows that the murderer may be active in the vicinity during this period of time. After this period of time, he moved away. The murderer must be very careful..."

Duan Fei raised his head and looked somewhere, smiled and said: "According to the clues I have so far, I probably already know where the murderer is hiding in late February... Shi Bin!"

Shi Bin promised and walked over, Duan Fei thought for a while before saying: "You go and inform Mr. Shi immediately, please ask Master Yuanzheng and Daoist Qingxu to meet Yan Butou in the north of Zhenbei, and tell Yan Butou that the little one who was killed The hollow area surrounded by circles is where the murderer is hiding, I believe there will be a more eye-catching tower or something like that..."

Yue Yuqi wondered: "Brother Fei, how do you know that the murderer is in the north of the town? Don't you need to invite experts to go to the east and west of the town?"

Duan Fei waved to him, and then whispered into Shi Bin's ear: "By the way, please go and have a look at that one too, let him hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to strike..."

Shi Bin left in response, Yue Yuqi said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Fei, don't you even believe me?"

Duan Fei smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's better not to know so much about some things. I'm not trying to hide it from you, it's just a professional habit, haha, it's just a professional habit."

Yue Yuqi pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, find an excuse to prevaricate me. Well, I originally wanted to go to Zhenbei to help you catch the murderer. Since I am also suspected, I'd better not go."

Duan Fei looked at him deeply, and said with a smile, "Do you really want to go?"

Yue Yuqi said: "Anyway, you don't believe me."

Duan Fei stretched out his hand and said, "Stretch out your right hand, I want to ask you a few questions."

Yue Yuqi stretched out his hand, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Duan Fei stretched out his hand and grabbed Yue Yuqi's wrist, Yue Yuqi twitched his hand in shock, leaving Duan Fei's grasp, and stared at him vigilantly.

Duan Fei laughed and said, "If you want me to trust you, you have to trust me first, come on, give me your hand."

Yue Yuqi hesitated for a while, and finally stretched out his hand again. Duan Fei grabbed his wrist again, and pressed his index finger, middle finger and ring finger on Yue Yuqi's aorta like a doctor feeling pulse, and asked, "Are you the murderer?"

Yue Yuqi was taken aback and said, "You are crazy, how could I be the murderer?"

Duan Fei felt his heart beat a few times, but he was trying this method of judging whether he was lying or not, so he was not sure whether Yue Yuqi was panicked or surprised. He smiled and said: "You can only answer yes Or not, it's a lie test and I'll believe you as long as you pass."

Yue Yuqi took a breath, nodded, and said, "I understand, come on."

"Are you the murderer?" Duan Fei asked again.

"No." Yue Yuqi replied with certainty.

"Do you know who the murderer is?"

"do not know."

"What's your name?"

"Yue Yuqi."

"Where are you from?"

"My hometown is Dengzhou."

"Are there any relatives in your family?"

"Gone."

"Did you lie?"

"No."

"How old are you this year?"

"15 is old."

"Did the blood on Guangdansong be planted by you?" Duan Fei stared into Yue Yuqi's eyes...
