Chapter 16 : Looking for clues
Wei Tai, who was Ying Tianfu Fu Yin, was at a loss.
I’m also a third-ranking member. Look at the same level. They eat fragrant and spicy foods, and they are arrogant. That is a comfortable and comfortable person. How can I be like my own parent, whether I eat fragrant or spicy food? You have to ask if you eat or drink Lhasa. If you commit something, you will be held accountable. It’s not this. The son of an adult is the child of the general. He cannot be beaten or shut down. He has to pay for his smiling face. How can there be the dignity of a third-ranking member?
Now, five more murders have been committed, and the entire capital is looking at him, satiating and sleeping.
No, the government officials hurriedly reported that His Highness Seven and His Highness Nine had already entered the palace.
My mother-in-law.
Covering his forehead with one hand and his old waist with the other, Wei Tai couldn’t help sighing: “Why are these two little ancestors here?”
He didn’t dare to neglect, so he hurried to greet him.
Seeing Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan, Wei Tai arched his hands and said: “Weichen pays respects to His Royal Highness, I don’t know what the **** is coming?”
“Let’s take a look at the progress of the hunting ground murder case!” Xiao Yan asked.
Wei Tai twitched the corners of his mouth. He had expected this a long time ago, so he said, “Your Majesty, please, speak in the room.”
entered the room, and the three of them took their seats.
Wei Tai sighed and said, “Your Highness, all the government officials and arrests have been dispatched in the past four days to investigate the inns, guesthouses, and leased houses in the entire capital, and mobilize the people, but they have never found clues. No one reported the case to provide relevant clues. It seems that the deceased did not stay in the capital for a long time, so Weichen wondered whether the five people passed through the capital? If this is the case, it will make the investigation more difficult.”
“Hey, Weichen feels stressed.”
“Look at my hair, it’s almost falling out.”
Xiao Rui knew his grievances and said with a smile: “Master Wei has worked hard. The reason why Xiao Jiu and I came is because we reported the case and we are naturally concerned about the case. Second, we want to do our best to help the deceased as soon as possible. revenge.”
“Yes, yeah!” Xiao Yan nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Rui continued: “As Mr. Wei said, if the dead pass through the capital, the difficulty will increase too much. But if not? They came to the capital from a foreign country and were followed and killed by the murderer when they left, so they stayed there. There will inevitably be intersections with others in the capital. Then why don’t witnesses dare to stand up and say? It is probably because they are afraid of the murderer’s revenge.”
After a pause, Xiao Rui said: “So His Royal Highness Nine is willing to invest 10,000 taels to offer a reward to the capital, and to reward the people who can provide clues to the deceased’s identity.”
Xiao Yan was stunned, when did he agree?
Wei Tai was overjoyed and quickly got up: “Thank you for your help! I believe that under the temptation of money, witnesses will not help standing up and revealing clues. I will arrange for someone to do it now and offer a reward for posting in Beijing.”
Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yanhao said: “Isn’t it ten thousand taels? It’s a trivial matter. As long as you can catch the murderer, another ten thousand taels is a trivial matter.”
Xiao Rui asked Wei Tai: “My lord, what can you find from the clothes of the deceased?”
Wei Tai ordered people to bring the post-mortem transcripts made by him and said: “The clothes of the two male deceased persons were not characteristic. The clothes of the two male deceased persons were quite common. The clothes of the two female deceased persons were cyan silk woven blouses and turbans. The dark blue undergarment, especially the young female deceased, her blouse is two feet eight inches long, the sleeves are one foot two inches wide, and the outer sleeves are inlaid with beautiful embroidery. The embroidery on the clothes has the style of Su embroidery, beautiful patterns, and exquisite embroidery, but It’s not all, but also some other characteristics.”
Wei Tai handed the transcript to Xiao Rui, and continued: “I have ordered people to bring the deceased’s clothes to various cloth houses to investigate, hoping to find out the location of the deceased.”
Xiao Rui nodded, he could think of starting from the clothes, and naturally he could think of the government’s quick catch and work.
Wei Tai asked his servant to call for the arrest.
A big man walked in.
“Is there any clues to ask the cloth houses?” Wei Tai asked.
Catch quickly clasped a fist and said, “My subordinates visited twelve cloth houses, large and small, in Beijing. After seeing the fabrics and embroidery of the deceased’s clothing, they thought it was Su embroidery. Although the stitches and patterns have been changed, it is very I changed my style, but I didn’t see where it was.”
Wei Tai sighed and waved his hand to retreat.
“Your Highness, look, the clue is broken again.” Wei Tai looked sad.
Xiao Rui smiled, and said, “Master Wei, although the cloth dealers in the capital have good eyesight and can see the changes in embroidery stitches and patterns, they do not fully understand the characteristics of embroidery in various places due to the limitations of their operations. And I Knowing a place, you should be able to see some clues.”
“Where?” Wei Tai asked quickly.
“Shangyi Supervisor and Acupuncture Division!” Xiao Yan shouted suddenly.
Xiao Rui nodded.
Wei Tai patted his forehead and said, “Yeah, why did I forget these two places. Shangyi Supervisor is responsible for purchasing fabrics and clothing from all over the world. The Needle Industry Department specializes in embroidery and sewing. They serve the palace and are the most proficient in fabric embroidery in the world. Experts, it’s just…this matter has to trouble your two princes.”
Xiao Rui smiled and said, “It’s a trivial matter, please prepare the clothes of the deceased.”
“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Wei Tai arranged immediately.
Xiao Rui just wanted to close her to make a transcript. Suddenly, his eyes scanned a piece of information, and he couldn’t look away.
He asked: “Master Wei, the autopsy result says that the young female deceased was the eldest daughter of Huanghua? Didn’t she give birth to the baby?”
“Yes, yes.” Wei Tai nodded.
Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan looked at each other, and wondered even more, what kind of combination is this family?
Coming out of the prefectural office, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan rode towards the palace in a carriage.
Entering the inner city of the imperial city, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan came to Shangyi Supervisor, and the **** of the palm print saw the two majesty coming by, and he bounced in his heart, thinking that he had offended them in some way.
Xiao Rui explained his intentions, and the **** of the palm print immediately sent someone to the Department of Needling Workers to call someone, and called the master of Shangyi Jian to study the clothes and fabrics of the deceased.
The director of the Needle Industry Department brought female embroidery workers to study together.
Finally, they came to a conclusion.
“His Royal Highness, UU reading www.uukanshu.com looks at the fabric and dyeing techniques of this dress, which are very similar to the style of Luzhou. And this embroidery comes from Suzhou embroidery, but it also adds the characteristics of bright colors and ancient atmosphere. Some improvements have been made, which should be the local characteristics of Luzhou embroidery. Our needlework department has female embroidery workers from Luzhou, so I’m pretty sure.”
Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan looked at each other, and the two immediately left the palace and came to Yingtianfu again.
“Luzhou!”
finally found a little clue, Wei Tai felt like he was very calm.
“Your Majesty, the minister immediately sent someone to Luzhou, I believe there will be something to gain.” Wei Tai smiled.
Xiao Rui nodded, and said, “Master Wei, that’s hard work.”
“Senior officials should do.” Wei Tai solemnly said.
Then, Xiao Rui and Xiao Yan left the prefectural office.
Xiao Yan said happily: “Now there is a breakthrough, and we can see the murderer in the next day.”
Xiao Rui was very calm: “What if the deceased passed by Luzhou to buy clothes?”
“Um…” Xiao Yan’s smile disappeared suddenly.
Xiao Rui sighed: “It’s not that simple.”
Xiao Yan asked: “If the investigation in Luzhou fails, isn’t it a headless case?”
Xiao Rui said: “I hope the reward is also useful, and I can find some clues.”
“Would you like to increase the reward amount?” Xiao Yancai said boldly.
Xiao Rui shook his head: “Twelve thousand taels is enough, but it doesn’t work, then it’s not a question of money. Let’s go…”
“Seven brother, I will accompany you back to the fourth brother’s house.” Xiao Yan flattered.
Xiao Rui flatly refused.
He didn’t want others to know that he had moved out of Duan Palace. First, he was ashamed, and second, Duan Palace’s face was also ugly.
Xiao Yan looked annoyed and could only go home obediently.
