Wang Shishu was startled by the sudden appearance of someone at home. The man in a smart suit and expressionless face was holding Wang Shishu's hand, as if he was about to break his arm!

Leng Chuan only felt that Wang Shishu under his command was a weak chicken who was too lazy to even respond.

"What are you doing? Who are you?" Wang Shishu gasped in pain: "If a strong man seeks wealth..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a row of shoes in front of him: the leader was wearing black gold soft-soled boots, and next to him were two pairs of Yunyan hibiscus soft-soled embroidered shoes...

Wang Shishu raised his head blankly, Lu Qingfan's condescending dark eyes were filled with a touch of coldness, and his dagger-like gaze silently cut towards Wang Shishu.

Next to him was Yun Xi and his party.

"Master Lu, what do you mean by this? Did the villain violate the criminal law?"

When Wang Shishu saw that he was a familiar face, he lost all his cowardice and became a noble scholar again, full of character.

Lu Qingfan glanced at Yun Xi and motioned for her to confirm.

Yun Xi took two steps forward, took a look at Wang Shishu's restrained hands, and found something wrong with the little finger on his right hand...

Human bones are somewhat imperfect in terms of symmetry.

It is precisely because of this imperfection that people make themselves unique in this world.

But Wang Shishu’s little finger is too perfect both in terms of bones and lines.

Yun Xi touched her hand and pulled it slightly, and the finger was broken from the bottom half of the joint by her... Oh no, it should be said that she removed it.

Half of the hand bones, which could look real, rolled up on the ground, and finally landed next to the black gold boots, one finger at a time, and the strange scene with clear black and white made everyone silent.

Wang Shishu was furious when he saw this: "You guys, you guys have gone too far to bully others!"

Yun Xi picked up the hand bones, observed them carefully and said, "Good craftsmanship. It's expensive to make hand bones of this quality in the world, right?"

"What are you doing?! Mr. Lu, I am a good citizen. Even if I am an official of the Ministry of Punishment, I shouldn't bully the people like this, right? Or maybe you just want to force me to confess at will..."

"Who said I am going to detain you to plead guilty?"

Lu Qingfan snorted sarcastically, "Since you are not guilty, why did you conceal the disability of your right hand, and why did you take away the account books of the fireworks venue in the middle of the night?"

Wang Shishu was lifted up by Leng Chuan and pushed down on the chair to speak. His eyes were red, staring at Yun Xi who had removed his fingers, and his eyes were full of hatred: "It turns out that you sneaked into my accounting room at the fireworks field... It's a villain's behavior, and it's lost."

The prestige of the Xingbu Yamen!"

Yun Xi blinked when he heard this and said in surprise: "We went in, but we didn't steal anything. You went in but took away the account books privately... If the owner of the fireworks field knew that Wang's accounting office was guarding theft, could he still keep his job?

"

Wang Shishu still wanted to argue, but Lu Qingfan took out his token: "As the Minister of Justice, I was ordered to investigate the illegal manufacture of gunpowder at the fireworks field. The purpose of the secret investigation was to prevent the common people and villagers from panic. Wang Shishu, who do you think you are? How dare you

Are you talking too much and ruining my reputation in the Ministry of Punishment?"

Producing gunpowder against the law and slandering court officials are not minor crimes. Wang Shishu seemed to ignore Yun Xi's anger when he exposed his fake fingers. The sweat on his forehead dripped quietly, like a misfired firework that could no longer be brilliant.

Seeing that Wang Shishu finally calmed down, Lu Qingfan squinted his eyes with satisfaction, thinking that this guy could accept the questioning honestly.

"Tell me what's going on with this fake finger."

Wang Shishu's eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head and said sadly: "I am born among ordinary people."

Yun Xi shook her head: "You lied, you were cut off."

She is a widower and a doctor. She can tell at a glance which bones are broken from birth and which have been cut off later.

Wang Shishu glanced at Yun Xi in surprise.

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise when you get to the Ministry of Punishment..."

Fan Zhi, who was standing aside, could no longer bear the intensity of the Tai Chi fight, and his casserole-sized fist seemed to have hit Wang Shishu's nose.

"I said it, I said it!"

Wang Shishu swallowed his saliva subconsciously: "Before I became a bookkeeper, I owed gambling debts. The creditor chased me to another place and chopped off my hands."

Wang Shishu's family has been working as accountants in the village for generations. Later, when a fireworks display was built, the family had more money, and he became addicted to gambling.

After that, Wang Shishu wandered around several underground gambling houses in the capital. The more he gambled, the more courageous he became, and the more he owed gambling debts...

Later, he couldn't pay it back, so he secretly stole the family's money and fled to another place. However, his creditor caught up with him and chopped off his fingers.

"Where is the gambling debt? Have you paid it off?" Yun Xi asked.

"I paid it back." Wang Shishu said dejectedly: "I just paid it back a few years ago."

Debt collectors are not serious about killing people, they are just trying to repay debts.

"There are so many people in the village, but they haven't heard about it?" Can a gambler be reassured that the village chief and the fireworks venue still ask him to take care of the accounts?

"I was cautious and avoided the villagers back then."

Wang Shishu murmured: "It doesn't happen every day that people in the village start talking nonsense. I'm also afraid of cutting off my own future."

Now this "fallback path" has made Wang Shishu very prosperous and changed his luck.

Lu Qingfan stared at Wang Shishu, then saw Leng Chuan coming in from the inner room, and shook his head.

The account book Wang Shishu stole is gone.

"Yunxi, go in and take a look."

Nothing disappears out of thin air. Since neither Fan Zhi nor the Leng brothers who followed just now saw Wang Shishu go out, there must be a secret room in this house.

Yun Xi didn't waste any time and quickly walked into the room.

Wang Shishu is worthy of being the accountant. His study is neatly tidied, except for a small corner that is a little messy.

There is no representation of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams in the house, and it should be regarded as just an ordinary secret room or secret passage.

After Yun Xi made a quick judgment, her clear eyes fell on the surroundings bit by bit to explore.

"There shouldn't be nothing..." She slowly walked from the desk to the window, and immediately saw a moving board below the window.

The board is not big, and there are several small baskets covering it. At first glance, it seems inconspicuous.

"Sir." Yun Xi raised his voice and called softly.

Lu Qingfan stared at Wang Shishu, whose pupils shrank, and knew that Yun Xi had found the right place.

Wang Shishu is a tough talker, and the answer to the mystery can only be found by themselves.

Lu Qingfan walked to Yun Xi, saw the trap that looked like the entrance to a cellar, but was dug next to the study, and raised his chin lightly at Leng Hai.

Leng Hai took the order, moved the basket and opened the wooden board.

Calling it a "cellar" is an exaggeration. The whole place that was exposed was just a shallow pit, and people could jump right into it and hide.

Yun Xi pointed at the hollowed out recesses and let Leng Hai explore them.

As expected, Leng Hai found several ledgers inside, but the one they were looking for didn't happen.

"Wait a minute, let me go in and take a look." Yun Xi helped Lu Qingfan climb out of the window, and Leng Hai came out in advance to let Yun Xi in.

She lowered her body and found a spacious corridor behind a hidden grating.

"It was taken away."

"Lengchuan, follow the corridor and chase him."

"Yes, sir." Leng Chuan said nothing, silently jumped in, and ran low and fast in the dark corridor, and soon disappeared.

Yun Xi's heart sank. She didn't expect that this Wang Shishu was not only weird, but also somewhat ingenious.

It's a pity that it is of no use on the right path.

After Lu Qingfan finished speaking, he turned around and asked Wang Shishu: "Where are the things?"

"Hahaha, what is it?"

Wang Shishu no longer had the panic and nervousness just now, and said confidently: "Several bad guys broke into my house without permission, deliberately shouting to find some lost account book... Let's not mention the shame of the villain, why are they slandering the villain for stealing the account book now?

Kill someone?"

Lu Qingfan pursed his thin lips slightly: "I have never mentioned murder. You did it too quickly."

Successfully seeing Wang Shishu's expression stiffened, Yun Xi knew that he might not be able to ask anything today.

"Take him to the Ministry of Justice." Lu Qingfan stared at Wang Shishu and said calmly: "You can't be arrogant for more than a few days."

The corner of Wang Shishu's mouth raised slightly, and his scholarly aura turned into a look like an old scoundrel, "Your Excellency, there is no evidence. Sooner or later, the common people will have to be released. By then, will the common people be as happy as they want?"

Lu Qingfan was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy, so Fan Zhi picked him up and twisted him away.

Tonight was hectic and disorganized, and the investigation at the fireworks field ended without any success due to Wang Shishu's interference.

Fortunately, all matters related to their fireworks production were clear; Wang Shishu was also arrested for his strange behavior.

Wang Shishu was exposed. It was unknown whether he was the real murderer of Wang Tong's family and who was behind him.
