Chapter 31

At the age of 16, Qin Dezheng entered the Yamen as a servant, practicing martial arts and studying law, and at the age of 20, he finally became a policeman as he wished.The little catcher is soft-spoken, bitter and tiring, dangerous and poor, but Qin Dezheng never complains, he does not accept bribes, does not cheat, does his work seriously, has no money and no power, and insists on his own ability to sit on the seat of the governor of Fucheng. The location of the head catcher.From Qin Dezheng's point of view, evil deeds should be rewarded with evil, and we must never let go of them.

On that day, Bai Yulang galloped over, saying that he met a nobleman in Shitou Town to help him solve this series of unsolved cases.He listened carefully to what Bai Yulang said about Ran Feize's excellence, and he heard the questions he asked clearly and clearly.Qin Dezheng is not a rigid and conservative person, he often solves cases by playing by ear and often finds new ways.Although Bai Yulang is a child with little experience, but because of his family background, he is indeed very well-versed, so Qin Dezheng told him left and right, and after hearing Bai Yulang's assurance that nothing would happen, he let him take care of the matter.Unexpectedly, this kid not only did it, but also made a name for himself. The details of Ma Zhengyuan made him check it out.

Bai Yulang was overjoyed with his meritorious service, but Qin Dezheng was as meticulous as a silk thread. After careful study of the investigation process, there was actually a strange aunt who gave pointers. She only looked at the case file, asked questions, and then pointed out the origin of the criminal.The details described are almost in line with the facts, which makes Qin Dezheng turn pale with shock.

Qin Dezheng has never seen this kind of ability, but he has seen a lot of this kind of accomplices telling each other and playing tricks.It's normal for him to have doubts.But he didn't see any harm to them in this matter, so he was just suspicious, he wanted to see this woman, and take a look at that so-called tall man Ran Feize.He just thought that the tragedy would happen again, and he was so overwhelmed that he took time out to listen to Liu Xiang's story, saying that the woman in Stone Town pointed out the murderer with her empty teeth, and lured people to testify to the truth, Qin Dezheng became suspicious again.

This woman, I'm afraid she really has some skills.

Qin Dezheng decided to give her a try.Now, he met Su Xiaopei.

Short hair, curvy and obedient shape, I don't know how it grew, it wouldn't look like this with scissors.The facial features are correct, the eyes are clear, and there is no trace of evil spirit.

Qin De was looking at her, she also looked straight at her, this is extremely rude on a woman.But Qin Dezheng did not feel disgusted.He thought of what Bai Yulang had told him about Ran Feize's description of this woman—weird is weird, but harmless.

Qin Dezheng looked at Ran Feize who was sitting beside him in a blink of an eye, he looked relaxed and relaxed, as if he was a guest.

Qin Dezheng turned his gaze back, looked at Su Xiaopei, and asked bluntly: "The girl told about Ma Zhengyuan's family situation and what happened around him, how did the girl know about it?"

"Rely on inference." Su Xiaopei sat upright, speaking carefully, trying not to reveal her weird vocabulary.

"How to deduce?" Qin Dezheng asked pressingly.

"Based on Ma Zhengyuan's actions and the clues left in the case." Su Xiaopei was not intimidated and answered fluently.

"The girl doesn't know the criminal. Before she was at the scene, she can tell the criminal's background just by looking at the case file. I have never heard of such deduction ability."

This is suspicious and critical.

Su Xiaopei glanced at Ran Feize, he told her to be cautious in her words and deeds, but in the current situation, she might have to "speech nonsense" again.

Ran Feize was also looking at her, and said, "Just talk about it carefully, and say something you can understand."

Su Xiaopei nodded, turned his head, and said to Qin Dezheng: "My lord, such deduction ability is often encountered by my lord. Look, my lord, just now I took a look at Ran Zhuangshi and didn't say anything, but Ran Zhuangshi knew what I was worried about." , I mean, knew what I was worried about. So he answered me and let me talk about it. My lord thinks this is not unusual, but what Ran Zhuang used just now is what I called inference. Ran Zhuang knew my accent and The way is weird, and he often warns me to be cautious in words and deeds, so when an adult asks a question, I can't explain it clearly in a few words, but he can infer what I am thinking with just one look. This is my words and deeds in Ran Zhuangshi's mind Leaving a message, he deduced from it."

When she said this, the subject suddenly changed: "Have you ever eaten candy?"

Qin Dezheng was taken aback by the question of the sharp turn.Su Xiaopei didn't wait for his answer, she didn't pause, and continued: "Your Excellency knows that candy is very sweet, so if I say that Your Excellency has eaten a lot of candy, it's too sweet, but even though Your Excellency didn't eat any candy and didn't see any candy, But you can also know what it's like to eat sugar that makes you feel tired. This is an adult's inference, because the taste of sugar has been left in the adult's mind."

Qin De was being told by her, he really felt his mouth was tired, so he hurriedly took some water to drink.

Su Xiaopei was still saying: "My lord solves the case, and when he sees the wound on the head of the corpse, bleeding profusely, he will deduce that his head was broken. Although the lord did not see the murderer's hands, such behaviors and actions are in the lord's mind. Yes, so adults can imagine and deduce how to do it. When adults see the wound, they can infer how painful it is because adults have also been injured and know the pain of injury... "

Su Xiaopei didn't finish her sentence, but Ran Feize interrupted her: "Okay, my lord must understand."

"Oh." Su Xiaopei stopped talking, and then concluded: "If you have knowledge and experience, you can deduce it."

Qin De was staring at Su Xiaopei, then at Ran Feize.

Su Xiaopei looked calm, while Ran Feize looked innocent.

In fact, the conclusion of this long speech is that one sentence of knowledge and experience is enough, but Qin Dezheng has to admit that if Su Xiaopei only said that, its persuasive power would be far less convincing than her long speech.He did find it, eccentric as it was, very convincing.

"Girl is young, where does knowledge and experience come from?" Qin Dezheng was not fooled like this, and he continued to ask.

"I was fortunate to be taught by my father and master, and learned a lot."

Qin Dezheng asked again: "I heard that the girl's father-in-law is also a head arrester, where is he working?"

Ran Feize also looked over, Su Xiaopei pursed his lips, and replied: "He passed away. Back then, there was a serial killer who specialized in killing and arresting the police. The government set up a trick to trap the criminal. The killer saw through the trap and killed my father. Afterwards, I studied skills with my master, and I am today. My lord, you must still ask me where I come from and where my hometown is. What I can tell you is that the skills I learned taught me I, like your lord and Ran Zhuang, are well-informed and have read countless people. They all have keen insight and judgment. If you want to gain trust, you must not lie. I don’t want to lie, but my hometown is too far away. I can't say anything, I just hope you can trust me. I came here just to find someone, and when I found him, I left. Ma Zhengyuan's case just happened to happen. Since I have this ability, I naturally figured it out A force."

When she said this, she looked at Ran Feize again, and thought about it for a while, let's not mention the matter of five taels of silver in the current atmosphere.

Qin Dezheng didn't say a word, he thought for a long time, he has indeed traveled all over the world, met all kinds of people, he has the confidence to know people and distinguish their colors.He finally understood why Bai Yulang dared to investigate Ma Zhengyuan's background after hearing those remarks, and he also finally understood why Liu Xiang kept saying that this girl should be credible even though he kept saying something weird.The missing person she mentioned was mentioned by Liu Xiang and Ran Feize on the way.

Qin Dezheng turned to Ran Feize again, he didn't have a deep impression of this person's name, but he had heard a lot of things he did, only Bai Yulang counted a few, and he had the feeling that he did it.This guy is also a character.It's just that I haven't met him in person, but seeing him now, I feel believable.

Qin Dezheng decided to trust his intuition, there was no contradiction between staying vigilant and trusting temporarily.

"Last night, there was another tragedy in Ning'an City. The eldest lady of Sima Mansion, a big household in the city, was killed. This Ma Zhengyuan made another move under our noses. What do you think, girl?"

"I don't know the facts of the case, so I don't have any opinion." Su Xiaopei answered honestly.

Qin De was staring at her, thinking about it for a while, and finally decided to tell the case: "Miss Sima's body was found in her boudoir this morning. She was stabbed in the center of her body. She has been dead for a long time. Her clothes are disheveled. The hair was cut off, and the modus operandi was the same as the previous examples. What else does the girl want to know?"

Su Xiaopei frowned: "Only stabbed once?"

Qin Dezheng also frowned, did he think that there were too few stabs or what? "This knife is fast and accurate, right in the center, enough to kill."

"What he cares about is not fatality, but torture. Of course fatality is the final result, but he became so calm during the process..." Su Xiaopei thought this was strange, so he whispered to himself.

Qin De was waiting for her words, but she was thinking on her own and didn't answer.Qin Dezheng glanced at Ran Feize, he didn't make any guesses, but poured himself tea.

Qin Dezheng turned his gaze back to Su Xiaopei, but suddenly saw Su Xiaopei saying to Ran Feize: "I'm thirsty too."

"I'll do it myself, my lord certainly doesn't mind if we ask for a cup of tea." Ran Feize smiled at Qin Dezheng after finishing speaking.

With Ran Feize as a demonstration, Su Xiaopei really had the guts to drink tea, Qin Dezheng couldn't say anything, he really didn't care about tea, it's just that Bai Yulang said that this woman is so miraculous, why is she speechless now?

"My lord, how disheveled is Miss Sima's clothes? Was she raped? Did she have any other injuries?"

Just as Qin Dezheng was thinking, Su Xiaopei suddenly asked a few questions, which made Qin Dezheng a little embarrassed.He had never had a discussion with a woman about clothing and innocence.But Su Xiaopei's words were vulgar and rude, which made him quite uncomfortable.

"My lord, what was Miss Sima's clothes when she died? Are you sure that she was touched by a thief? Are there any wounds on her body?"

At this moment, Ran Feize asked these questions again, Qin Dezheng felt all right, and hurriedly answered to Ran Feize: "When we arrived, the Sima family had put the young lady's body aside, and the clothes had been tidied up. The maid who found the body said that the young lady was killed and her clothes were disheveled. But the servant did not say much about the matter of reputation. Only the shaving of hair was consistent with the previous murder method, and it was already known that it was Ma Zhengyuan. The body was removed, and there were no other wounds anywhere on the body."

"No defensive wound?" Su Xiaopei muttered in a low voice, but didn't ask loudly.

But Ran Feize said: "Does this mean that Miss Sima has not struggled?"

Qin Dezheng also felt that something was wrong, but this matter is also reasonable: "If the acupoints are tapped and the young lady is unable to move, or if she is not prepared, she will be killed with a knife, without any signs of struggle, but it is also reasonable."

"It's too happy, it's not the method used to commit crimes before." Su Xiaopei finally said affirmatively: "My lord, I remember the previous cases. The women victims raped after losing their hair, and then died with multiple knives. The perpetrators used threats and violence. The means to control the victim, rather than the method of immobilizing them by pressing acupuncture points. This can be seen from the case of escaping from the hair loss, he did not immobilize the lady, he prefers that they can move rather than dare to move, what he wants is This process of fear and torture. Can your lord confirm whether the young lady has been touched?"

Su Xiaopei used the words taught by Ran Feize, and then went on to say: "The criminal changed his way of doing the crime, there must be a reason. If Miss Sima was frightened by the intruding Ma Zhengyuan, and she dared not move or struggle, Ma Zhengyuan successfully cut the case. He cut her hair and didn't hit her, but did he make the last step? It's very important, my lord. Why did he let Miss Sima die with such a quick knife instead of letting her die slowly in pain several times? What happened?"

Qin Dezheng thought about it and felt it made sense.He said: "Seeing the young lady's body and the situation in the boudoir today, I feel that it must be the same as the previous few cases. Master Sima has a lot of friendship with Mr. Fu Yin, and it is a matter of decency, so I never asked my wife to check those corpses. He didn't bring it back to the Yamen, and the work was only inspected at Sima's Mansion." He paused, and breathed out, "Since this is the case, I will discuss it with the adults immediately, and I will take someone to Sima's Mansion for inspection tomorrow morning."

"My lord, if it's convenient, I'd like to go too." Su Xiaopei made a bold request, looked at Ran Feize, then turned to Qin Dezheng, "I want to ask the maid who found the corpse about something."

Ran Feize raised his eyebrows, and looked at Su Xiaopei with disapproval.Qin Dezheng also looked puzzled.

Su Xiaopei frowned, seeing Ran Feize's appearance, he knew it was inappropriate to show his face like this.But there are some things, maybe it's more appropriate for her to ask those servants, she's all here, and it's too unreasonable not to do her best to sprint to the last hurdle of catching the murderer.

Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize and looked at him hard.

Ran Feize coughed, and was stared at by her at last, and finally said to Qin Dezheng: "Master, I don't know if there are any smaller yamen servant clothes with hats, and Miss Su can also cover them up when she wears them."

Qin De was looking at Su Xiaopei, Su Xiaopei also realized that it was better to be seen as a woman disguised as a man than a nondescript and vulgar sister-in-law wandering around.

She nodded quickly, and said loudly to Qin Dezheng: "Please, my lord!"

Tonight, everyone split up.Qin Dezheng went to the Fu Yin to explain that there are still things that have not been clarified, and he needs to go to the Sima Mansion tomorrow to ask the Fu Yin for an order.

Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize were sent to a nearby inn to rest. At Su Xiaopei's request, Bai Yulang came over and told them in detail what he had found in Jicheng, Ma Zhengyuan's background, and his family's situation.

When Bai Yulang talked about the great achievements he had made, his eyebrows were beaming, and he even talked about how he traveled to several cities and how much effort he had to make. Finally, someone recognized Ma Zhengyuan's portrait.How did he find the Ma family, how did the Ma family deny it, and how did he resort to tricks? In the end, he first found out that there was a young lady from the Ma family who became a nun, and then he went to the nunnery and pried open the horse Miss Jia's mouth, and finally broke through the Ma family's defense line, all kinds of things, all poured out in one go.

He talked on and on, with repeated repetitions and supplements. Su Xiaopei stopped listening and was writing down the details of the case and Ma Zhengyuan's personality analysis.On the contrary, Ran Feize was very flattering, although Su Xiaopei could see that Ran Feize was distracted, but he was still able to encourage him at the same time, making Bai Yulang so happy.

Sly, really sly.

Su Xiaopei slandered while writing the diary, unexpectedly Bai Yulang came over to read it: "Sister, what did you write?"

Su Xiaopei ignored him, he couldn't understand anyway.

It is true that Bai Yulang can't understand English, but he can tell the difference between beauty and ugliness: "Sister, no matter what you write, you are ugly. You have the wrong posture with the pen, and the master didn't teach you well." He shook his head while criticizing. I don't blame you, I know it's all the teacher's fault.

Ran Feize laughed loudly over there, Su Xiaopei's face was so dark, did this little brother from the Bai family drink too much?
She waved her away: "Go, go back to your room. You have to get up early tomorrow."

"This is my room." Ran Feize reminded her with a smile.

"Yes!" Bai Yulang also joined in the fun, "A gentleman does not enter a woman's boudoir. Sister, this is Uncle Ran's room."

Depend on!Su Xiaopei tidied up his things abruptly, thinking how long your Uncle Ran and I lived in the boudoir, now come to this set!She packed up the half-written things and shouted: "I'm going back to the boudoir!"

Ran Feize laughed out loud, and what responded to him was the sound of Su Xiaopei closing the door forcefully.

At the same time, in Sima Mansion, Sima Wanru was wiping his sword.She wiped it very carefully and seriously, but her thoughts wandered to nowhere.

"Miss, rest." A servant woman outside the door called, Sima Wanru was startled, as if she had woken up, she stared at the sword, and replied coldly: "Yes."
