"Relax, why are you so nervous?" Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but say to him, but found that he was also so nervous that his voice was trembling, so he simply kept silent.
Fortunately, Han Changran didn't keep them waiting for too long and arrived soon.
"Your Majesty Shen Zhonglei, I have met Mr. Han. Mr. Han please come in." Shen Zhonglei stepped forward and saluted.
Although he already knew it, the moment he saw Han Changran, Qiao Shuoming was still so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"Little Qiao Shuoming, I've met Master Han..." Not only did he speak with a vibrato, but his whole body was visibly stiff.
"Master Shen, I am returning to my hometown this time because my father is seriously ill and I am here to take care of him.
"So I've been traveling lightly and simply. I just wanted to keep a low profile and didn't come to say hello to the local parents. I'm rude. Master Shen, don't blame me."
Shen Zhonglei didn't even dare to stand up. After saying a few polite words, he sat down again.
"The reason why I came here suddenly today is because I heard that reincarnation drugs are on the rise again in Huguang? I wonder if the government office knows about this?"
"Mr. Han, the government office is also investigating this matter, but there are still relatively few clues at the moment, and we don't have any clues, but we haven't dared to relax."
"The reincarnation drug is not a trivial matter. It shocked the whole country and even the emperor was furious. He dealt with a group of people ruthlessly, thus preventing a bigger disaster.
“I didn’t expect that there are still people today who are evil-minded and want to touch things they shouldn’t touch.
"It would be fine if I didn't know, but now that I know, there is no reason to sit idly by and do nothing.
"So I came here today mainly to understand your current progress and help you find out what to do next."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Zhonglei and asked: "Of course, you, Mr. Shen, are still the main ones in handling the case. It should be your contribution, and I will never erase it."
When Shen Zhonglei heard this, he stood up in fright and said: "Since the discovery of the reincarnation drug in the government office, there has been no progress in the investigation. If Mr. Han does not hold us accountable for our incompetence in handling the case, we are already grateful. How can we do it again?"
Dare to take credit."
After saying that, Shen Zhonglei quickly took out the file that had been prepared and handed it to Han Changran for review.
Han Changran quickly flipped through the thick file at a glance, raised his head and asked Qiao Shuoming: "When you interrogated Miss Bai before, did you read the prostitution contracts of all her subordinates, right?"
"Yes, the young one took the deed of betrayal and confronted her men one by one."
Qiao Shuoming didn't expect that Han Changran would go directly over Shen Zhonglei to ask him, and he was so nervous that his voice changed a bit.
"Then did you go back to the Yamen afterwards to check whether these contracts of prostitution have any background?"
Qiao Shuoming was stunned by Han Changran's question. After a moment, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead.
"Yes! Why didn't I think of that at the time?" Qiao Shuoming immediately regretted it.
The sales contracts of Miss Bai's maids are indeed consistent with the people, but this does not mean that their sales contracts are genuine.
If I could have thought of this back then, it would have proved that there was something fishy about them!
At this time, the way Qiao Shuoming looked at Han Changran was completely different from before.
Being able to think of this shows that Mr. Han is a real hard worker.
Just listen to Han Changran say again: "Even if their sales contract is fake, it can actually reflect many details.
"For example, where is the place of birth and address written on the fake sale deed?"
“Many people may think that it’s all fake anyway, so why not just make it up?
"But that's not the case! When people fabricate something out of thin air, they will subconsciously use things they are familiar with, such as where they are from and where they were sold.
"After mastering this information, it may be of great help in finding their traces and inferring their hiding places."
After hearing Han Changran's analysis, Shen Zhonglei and Qiao Shuoming both showed expressions of sudden realization.
The two of them were really shocked today.
Qiao Shuoming always thought that he was careful and perceptive enough. Even when Shen Zhonglei asked him to come with him to meet Han Changran, he felt a little complacent.
But now, after Han Changran said a few words, he broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly felt that his little tricks were completely worthless, and there was nothing to be proud of.
Although Shen Zhonglei had long known that Han Changran was a very pragmatic official, he really didn't expect that now that he was a second-rank official, he could actually provide such practical guidance on handling cases.
Shen Zhonglei felt an inexplicable feeling of inferiority in his heart. If the officials in the capital were all of this level, then it would not be a bad thing that he was not transferred back to the capital. He should still train at the local level for a few more years.
Han Changran continued: "According to my understanding, the children born to patients who have taken the transcarnation drug but did not miscarry will have physical disabilities and will be very weird. Anyone who has seen it will have a hard time forgetting that scene.
“But whether it’s for face or reputation, most people are unwilling to speak out when something like this happens, and will pay some money to keep Wen Po’s mouth shut.
"But as long as you have delivered such a baby, you can't be unimpressed.
"Send people to find doctors in various places and ask Wen Po. Maybe we can get more clues."
"Yes, no one has thought of this!" When Shen Zhonglei heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "Master Han, you are really amazing!"
Shen Zhonglei's excitement awakened Qiao Shuoming who was standing behind him.
After Han Changran finished talking about the selling contract, Qiao Shuoming has been distracted.
He tried hard to recall every deed of sale he had ever seen, hoping he could remember what was written on it.
But so much time has passed that I really have no impression of it at all.
So when he was distracted, Han Chang didn't hear anything he said next.
When he came back to his senses, Han Changran said modestly: "What's wrong with me? I'm just a few years older than you, I've seen more cases, and I've accumulated more experience.
“You may hear what I say as if it’s easy to pick up, but in fact many of them were inspired by the investigation into the case of reincarnation drugs.
"Okay, these are my current thoughts. I will take the file back and look at it carefully. I will leave the investigation of the medical clinic and Wen Po to your government office.
"I will send someone over to Tian'en Temple to ask. If there is any news, we can communicate with each other at any time."
After sending Han Changran away, Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but sigh: "Look at this person, he is also a second-grade official, why are they so different!"
Although he didn't say it clearly, Qiao Shuoming knew that he was naturally referring to Qian Boxin, who used to show his official power in the government office.
After having contact with two people at the same time, it is really a matter of judgment.
Shen Zhonglei patted Qiao Shuoming on the shoulder and said, "Okay, your boy has now shown his face in front of the Crown Prince and Lord Han."
Qiao Shuoming said politely: "The fact that I can show my face in front of Master Han is not all due to your promotion.
"If you hadn't entrusted me with the important task, I wouldn't have been able to achieve anything, let alone show my face."
"Young man, work hard, you will have a bright future!"
