Hundred Steps to Piercing Poplar

Zhang Hui's case has made progress, and Li Ke's mood has also been much more relaxed. When he returned to the mansion, he would tease Lan'er and other maids from time to time. The girls were dizzy and their eyes were shining, and they looked at him in a daze.

Li Ke immediately laughed, came to the study, spread the rice paper, let Chen Qi grind it, and slowly started writing on the paper.

How much life is when drinking and singing?

It’s like morning dew, and the past is full of suffering.

I should be generous with my heart, and I will never forget my worries.

Only Du Kang can relieve his worries.

The green collar of my heart is endless.

But for the sake of yours, I have been pondering it until now.

Yoyo deer sings, eating wild apples.

I have guests who play the throne and sing.

It is as bright as the moon, when can it be picked?

Worry comes from it and cannot be stopped.

The strange and the fields are everywhere, and the mutual use is in vain.

Qi Kuo talks about the banquet, and he is nostalgic for his old grace.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south.

If you walk around the tree three times, which branches can you rely on?

The mountains are never tired of high and the sea is never tired of deep.

Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the whole world returned to his heart.

A song by Cao Mengde's "Short Song" is written in a royal style, which is a unique feature. Even a military general like Chen Qi who does not understand literature and ink was amazed at the royal style written by Li Ke.

"Your Highness, your calligraphy is becoming more and more refined. Even if Wang Xizhi is resurrected, it is probably just like that."

"Ha! When did you understand the method of calligraphy? You are so polite and knowledgeable!" Li Ke joked.

"The last general, I have been serving His Highness for a long time, and naturally I have some insight into calligraphy." Chen Qi said silly.

Li Ke was very happy with Chen Qi's praise just now, and was very excited. He wrote several copies of the words in one breath. Then he gave up and said happily, "Piece it and hang it in the store to see how much it can be sold, so as to give some rewards to his subordinates."

"No." Chen Qi agreed, and excitedly walked out of the study with the words. He happened to meet Yang En. When Yang En saw Chen Qi who usually looked serious, he looked happy now and couldn't help but wonder, "What medicine have you taken? So excited."

"Your Highness, you have produced a few more horses in the stable, all of which are good horses. Do you go and see them?" Yang En asked, who walked into the study.

"We will discuss the Zhang Hui case with Deng Tongda in the afternoon. Let me let it go in advance." Li Ke said a little tiredly, "Tell the servants who feed the horses and ask them to feed the horses. Make sure that the foals can survive."

"Then the old slave will go down first." Yang En replied.

Li Ke nodded, and Yang En walked out of the study.

When Li Ke saw Yang En leave the study room, he walked to the window of the study room and began to look forward to what good news Deng Tongda and Feng Guan could bring to him.

Through Li Ke's method, Feng Guan found the fatal scars on Zhang Hui's body, which gave him confidence. Through an afternoon of hard work, he finally understood the fatal blow that eventually led to Zhang Hui's death. Then, Deng Tongda brought Feng Guan and Zuo Yi to the Han Palace.

In Juyi Palace, when Li Ke saw the three of them, Deng Tongda said first, "Your Highness, the autopsy result has finally determined the cause of Zhang Hui's death, and Wei Chen also found a little suspicious point at the scene."

"Oh?" Li Ke was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would get such a big gain today. "Let me talk about the autopsy results first."

Feng Guan walked forward carefully. This was the first time he came to such a generous and grand hall of the King of Han Mansion and such a grand hall of Juyi Hall. He was inevitably a little nervous. "Report to your Highness, according to the inspection of the minister, the real part that caused Zhang Hui to die was the needle hole in his chest. The murderer might have stabbed Zhang Hui in the heart by flying needles and other things, causing him to die."

"How to explain the scar on that head?" Li Ke asked.

"Often people's head injury does not kill immediately, it will take at least a period of time. During these two periods, the deceased will have a huge headache and his facial expression will change. However, according to Xiaochen's autopsy results for many days, and today I checked it carefully again. The deceased's facial expression did not show a special expression, which shows that he died instantly and he didn't even have time to react. Inferred in this way, the scars on his head were just a murderer who set up a maze." Feng Guan also talked freely when explaining the autopsy results in detail, without any restraint as before.

"Yeah." Li Ke nodded, and then asked Deng Tongda again, "What clues were found on the scene?"

"Your Highness, according to what we have investigated below, we have discovered that the place where the deceased was not the first scene of the murder." A servant who was dressed in soap clothes, in his twenties and had a pretty face, said, "Because the deceased was discovered by us in a pile of firewood, but I looked at the pile in detail and found that the broken marks of firewood were obviously caused by something severely damaged. As Feng Junzu said, if the murderer killed someone with a flying needle, the impact force of the deceased after falling to the ground would not make the broken section of firewood so completely. Therefore, I think that the murderer threw Zhang Hui in the pile after killing someone. And his strength was so great that Chai He immediately broke when he touched Zhang Hui's body, and the sharp part of the fracture surface did not cause any scratches to him at all."

However, "the crime scene is definitely not more than ten steps away from the firewood pile. Because, if ten steps away, the deceased has no obstacles to hide his identity, and the murderer cannot be killed by him before he can make a sound when the deceased can see him."

Li Ke listened carefully to the analysis of the young servant in front of him and felt that what he said made sense. At this time, by combining Feng Guan's autopsy report, the first scene of the murder case, the death of the deceased, and the murder weapon, can be determined.

"That means that after the murderer killed Zhang Hui with a flying needle a few steps away, he threw him into the pile of firewood?" Li Ke asked.

"It can be said that according to Weichen's observation, within ten steps of the crime site, the best place to shoot and kill people with a flying needle in a straight line is the door of the Sun Ning family." Deng Tongda said carefully, "Because other places are too close to the deceased and are easily discovered, or it is not a straight line distance. The flying needle can only fly around and kill Zhang Hui. Only the door of the Sun Ning family can clearly see everything at the scene of the murder, and there are still a little obstacle to seeing the Sun Ning family's door at the scene of the murder."

"As you say that, the murderer was the flying needle fired at the door of Sun Ning's house and assassinated Zhang Hui?" Li Ke asked, "How much do you know about Sun Ning?"

"Report to your Highness, Sun Ning is the groom of Cui's Mansion. He has a wife, Qian. He usually washes clothes and makes money for wealthy families, but never stays at home. The method of killing people with flying needles cannot be from the hands of such a weak woman. Therefore, we ruled out that she could kill Zhang Hui. Sun Ning is just a coachman, which shows that he has a low status in Cui's Mansion and is not valued. If the flying needles of Baibu are emitted from him, it is impossible."

"Well, it seems that you have investigated very carefully. I am very pleased with the result that can be obtained today." Li Ke said, "However, the murderer in this case has not been arrested yet, so you cannot slacken. Also..." Li Ke said to Feng Guan, "You must check what wounds on the deceased's head were injured."

"I understand, I will solve the case as soon as possible. Please rest assured by your highness." The three of them took the order.

Li Ke looked at Deng Tongda in front of him and suddenly asked, "Brother Ding, there was no result a few days ago. Why did he suddenly find such a discovery at the scene of the murder today?"

Deng Tongda was stunned and understood why Li Ke asked this, "Your Highness, you can find these suspicious points all depend on the left wing of the Chang'an County captain. This morning, Weichen specially transferred him from the Cuju team to investigate the case. It was him who discovered the clues of the murder scene."

"Huh?" Li Ke said softly, "Left Wing?"

"Your Highness has something to do. A few days ago, because of the deliberate obstruction of County Magistrate Wang, I was unable to transfer the left wing back." Deng Tongda explained, "Today, Your Highness personally arranged for me to thoroughly investigate the case in the county government. My practice of transferring the left wing back was not blocked by County Magistrate Wang, so it would be so smooth."

When Zuoyi saw Li Ke mentioning his name, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The captain of Chang'an County, Zuoyi, kowtow to Your Highness."

Li Ke didn't care about the left wing just now because of the case. Now, when he saw that he was wearing soap clothes, in his twenties, and had a pretty face, he suddenly felt good, "Are you a left wing? You are young and promising! Do it well, I will be optimistic about you."

Zuoyi was praised by Li Ke and was moved in his heart. He was the magistrate who did a good job and they resisted the wrong things. Today, he was praised by Li Ke and was valued by Li Ke, and he seemed to have comfort in his heart, as if his efforts were rewarded. Just like Bo Le met a thousand-mile horse, Zuoyi also silently vowed in his heart to be loyal to this prince who appreciated him so much.

"Thank you for your kindness. I am deeply honored to do your best. If you have any orders in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation." Zuo Yi said sincerely.

Li Ke was happy and stepped forward to help him up and pressed him on his seat.

At this time, he saw that Feng Guan seemed to have something to say, but he didn't dare. So he smiled and said, "Feng Zhui, you seem to have something to say to me?"

Feng Guan heard Li Ke ask this, and he felt aggrieved and said his question, "I want to ask Your Highness how did you learn about the secret recipe for autopsy today. Three generations of Xiaochen's family were all coroners and had some research on autopsy. After all, he could not compare to Your Highness and then he understood the cause of the deceased's death after a few sentences."

Feng Guan's words were very inconsistent, obviously a little nervous, but Li Ke still understood what he meant. However, Li Ke could not say that this was when he saw Zi's tea in the county government living room in the morning, and suddenly thought of a scene in a TV series called "The Great Song Dynasty Criminal Officer" I had watched in his previous life. He could only fool him, "Well, I have read it in a book. Today, I saw Zi's tea in the county government living room, and suddenly thought of it."

Then Feng Guan whispered, "Your Highness, can I observe this book?"

Li Ke is so angry. You ask me for a book at this time, where will I find it for you? Could it be that I ask Song Ci, who has not been born yet? But he can understand how he feels at this moment for Feng Guan, who is born in a coroner of three generations. Although Li Ke's method today tested Zhang Hui's scars, it also hurt Feng Guan's self-esteem. His usual honorary reputation as a coroner's family was also hit. And he can ask Li Ke about the autopsy method and ask him for this book at this moment. It can be seen that he is also a person who is not ashamed to ask, a quick and studious person. Li Ke cannot blame him, as the atmosphere in the hall is a bit rigid.

Deng Tongda, who was standing beside him, was also angry and couldn't help but scold Feng Guan, "This guy, what's wrong with you? You have to ask for any books from Your Highness. Don't you know that your Highness's books are all left by the Emperor when he was in the Qin Palace before? Can you give them to you?"

Suddenly, Li Ke coughed and said, "The Zhang Hui case has not been solved yet. You cannot slacken. Let's go back and rest early. I hope to hear good news from you tomorrow."

The three of them bowed to take the order. Deng Tongda was afraid that Zuoyi or Feng Guan would ask Li Ke for something again, which would make Li Ke unhappy, so he immediately led the two of them away from the Han Palace.

After the three left, Li Ke muttered, "If you have time, think about the details of the case solving of that TV series. It is good to write a book about ancient forensic medicine!"
Chapter completed!
