The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

There are hundreds of boats of various sizes and thousands of people on the Jinshui River. It can be said that the Jinshui River after nightfall is one of the scenic spots in the capital.

This brings Jiang Si a lot of convenience.

Although Zhen Shicheng is very discerning, he is not an immortal after all. It is difficult to find clues about the arsonist from so many people and ships. Even if he can find clues, it is not a day's work.

Jiang seemed not to take it lightly because of this. Having dealt with Zhen Shicheng several times, she deeply understood that no detail could be ignored.

The boat that Lao Qin rented had to be disposed of properly.

She still remembered the scene when Yang Shengcai was clinging to the side of the boat and climbed up. When Yang Shengcai fell back into the water, he finally died silently at the bottom of the river, and his traces would probably be left on the side of the boat.

Zhen Shicheng is a person of great wisdom. If he starts from the person who rented the boat last night, and then checks the hull, once he finds those traces, he may be able to guess that there is something wrong with the person who rented the boat. In this way, even if she told Lao Qin to cover up her appearance when she went to charter a boat, there might be uncontrollable situations.

Of course Jiang Si didn't want to get in trouble because of his carelessness.

"Old Qin reassured the girl that he handled everything properly."

"That's good." Jiang Si smiled.

She still trusted Lao Qin's ability, otherwise she wouldn't be so relieved when her second brother fell into the water last night.

The Jinshui River is not turbulent, it is a very gentle long river, which is so suitable for those painting boats to roam here, for people to be at ease.

It is precisely because of this that Lao Qin's skill and ability to rescue the second brother in time can be said to be foolproof.

To this day, Aman has not woken up from the "heroic appearance" of his master's murder, and said with admiration on his face: "Girl, how do you know what to do with that ship? The maid went to send a message to Lao Qin, and Lao Qin said You are so amazing, you can't imagine anything."

Jiang Si laughed at himself: "I'm not that powerful, but because I attach great importance to it, I think more."

She was born again. Of course, there is more than just the word "revenge" in her life, but protecting her relatives is one of the most important things. Otherwise, let the bad luck of the previous life come and be at ease alone?

She absolutely can't do this, so even if her hands are stained with blood, she will not hesitate.

In Shuntian Mansion, Zhen Shicheng slowly paced with his hands behind his back.

Not long ago, Kazuo reported something to him.

Kazukaku found sawdust from the dead man's nails!

This shows what?

According to Cui Yi and others, they all jumped into the river from the window when the painting boat caught fire last night, which means that the sawdust in the hands of the deceased had nothing to do with the painting boat.

So what's the most likely scenario for sawdust in a deceased person's fingernails?

Zhen Shicheng is a very imaginative person, and soon a bold guess emerged in his mind: the deceased jumped into the river, swam to the nearest boat in a panic, and then firmly grasped the side of the boat or the oar.

But he was not saved, and saw shavings in his fingernails.

In fact, Yang Shengcai's failure to be saved was one thing that puzzled Zhen Shicheng.

He personally went to the Jinshui River to observe it. The water flow was very gentle, not to mention that the lights were bright at night, and there were countless boats nearby. How could they not be saved? You must know that everyone on the painting boat except Yang Shengcai, even the second son of Dongping Bofu who drank too much and fell into the water, was rescued.

Zhen Shicheng considered these, and the guess became clearer and clearer: Nine times out of ten, the person who asked for help from the deceased was the murderer!

That is to say, the little shepherd has accomplices, and they have at least one boat. If they are lucky, they may be able to find the marks left by the deceased's fingernails on the side of the boat or somewhere.

Zhen Shicheng was in a bad mood when he thought about this.

Although he will show a fair attitude when handling the case, no matter what the identity of the deceased is, it is his job to find out the truth, but this time Yang Shengcai's death really makes him feel happy.

That kind of scum has taken many lives in his teens, and he doesn't know how many people he has harmed when he is old.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Zhen Shicheng still commanded decisively: "Ask the owners of the cruise ships first,

Did anyone charter the boat yesterday, and if so, was the boat returned? "

The subordinate took the order and left, and after a while, another subordinate came down to report: "Sir, someone from the Minister of Rites is here."

Zhen Shicheng nodded and walked towards the hall.

It was Yang Shengcai's father who came from the Minister of Rites. At this time, Yang's father's eyes were red, his face was slightly swollen, and he looked haggard.

It is unbearable pain for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to anyone.

Although Zhen Shicheng didn't have the slightest affection for Yang Shengcai, he felt sympathy for Yang's father, and said hello in a gentle tone: "Brother Yang, pay attention to your health."

Father Yang sneered: "Sir Zhen, don't talk about this, I wonder if the arsonist has been found?"

Although he still has two young sons, only Yang Sheng is the only one who is so precious. Even if the son is often in trouble, he cannot avoid being beaten and scolded, but it hurts to the bottom of his heart.

Now that his son is gone, if he can't find the murderer, he can't wait to set the Shuntian Mansion on fire.

"I haven't found it yet." Seeing the other party's bad attitude, Zhen Shicheng's tone also became cold.

What about the Shangshufu of the Ministry of Rites?

Could it be scary for him to be able to sit firmly in the position of the governor of Shuntian?

Zhen Shicheng is a person who climbed up step by step from the poor family. Such a person may have no foundation when he was young, but to have his current status is by no means as simple as an official with a family background thinks.

"It's been a night, why haven't I found it yet?" Father Yang asked aggressively.

Zhen Shicheng unhurriedly stroked his beard: "Last night there were at least thousands of people on the Jinshui River. Does Brother Yang think that this official is a god with three heads and six arms, and he can know where people are by pinching his fingers? The shepherd jumped into the water too, and probably drowned, as people guessed."

Hmph, if there is a son, there must be a father, no matter how stupid he is, let the three justices investigate. Find out who the murderer is, and he sends a pennant!

Zhen Shicheng has never been an old-fashioned and pedantic person. As the governor of Shuntian, he doesn't just solve cases, but because he is most interested in this area, he invests the most.

"Then you tell me when will people be found?"

"It's hard to say. Brother Yang is embarrassing the official by asking this."

"You!" Father Yang wanted to vent his anger very much, but he couldn't come out in the face of Zhen Shicheng's calm and indifferent face.

"I heard that the person who rescued the second son of the Uncle Dongping was under the command of Lord Zhen. Now I suspect that the person was related to the death of the dog. Lord Zhen, call that person out for me to meet."

I can't get into a quarrel with Zhen Shicheng, at least I can't spare the yamen who saved the boy from Dongping's Mansion but didn't save his son!

Zhen Shicheng's tone was weird: "Brother Yang wants to see my subordinates?"
