Upon closer inspection, they finally discovered subtle lines on their fingers.
Everyone couldn't help but be confused.
Why, can the case be solved using this pattern?
How can this be?
As the Minister of Justice, Lu Zongyi was the first to speak out: "Shilang Hu, I don't know how to solve the case with this fingerprint?"
Hu Changan smiled slightly and said to Lu Zongyi: "Lv Shangshu, everyone's fingerprints are unique."
"As long as we find out who's fingerprints are on the windows and stoves besides the maid, the truth will be revealed!"
"The third party must be the real culprit behind the scenes!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be a little confused.
How did this fingerprint become unique?
Even Lu Zongyi was puzzled: "Shilang Hu, you said that everyone's fingerprints are different. Is this true?"
"I look at the fingerprints on my ten fingers, and there seems to be no difference!"
Lu Zongyi, the Minister of Punishment, did not quite believe what Hu Changan said.
After all, Hu Changan is not from a criminal investigation background.
Previously, Hu Changan's talents had been limited to the construction area of the Ministry of Industry.
Lu Zongyi didn't think that Hu Changan had taken such a big step all of a sudden and was capable of doing anything.
After all, criminal investigation requires a lot of accumulation!
At such a young age, Hu Changan has never handled a single case, and has never even entered the criminal investigation field.
In Lu Zongyi’s view, what Hu Changan just said was just talking nonsense!
Other officials in the Ministry of Justice also talked a lot about Hu Changan.
"This kid is too crazy. I think he is just talking nonsense. How can people's fingerprints be different?"
"Hu Chang'an, I'm afraid he has made some achievements in the Ministry of Works, so he thinks that there is nothing he can't handle. It should be noted that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. This Hu Chang'an is a little naive when it comes to interrogation."
"I think Hu Changan is probably talking nonsense just to get away with it. Does he think he can avoid being punished by saying some ridiculous things?"
However, Hu Changan, who was in the center of the whirlpool, was extremely calm.
Facing the disapproving looks from Lu Zongyi and others, Hu Changan just smiled and said, "I think that's it. Mr. Lu, you can just name ten people and I'll collect their fingerprints."
"I swear, the fingerprints of these ten people are definitely different."
"If any of these ten people have the same fingerprints, I will resign immediately and go into seclusion!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
They never expected that Hu Changan would play so big as soon as he came to the table.
Resign and go into seclusion!
This means that Hu Changan will no longer have any so-called future in the future!
Xue Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry on the side, suddenly became anxious when he heard this.
Xue Xiang pulled Hu Changan over and whispered: "Shilang Hu, why are you betting so big now?"
"This is in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, in front of His Majesty!"
"With His Majesty's testimony, it will be difficult for you to regret it in the future."
"I think you might as well beg for mercy immediately and take back what you said before."
"I have worked with Mr. Lu for a while before, and he also has a non-negotiable temperament."
"As long as you surrender right now, he won't hold on to you!"
In Xue Xiang's view, whether it was an accident or someone was causing trouble, Hu Changan was innocent.
Hu Changan's excellent creative talent should not be buried by an accident!
Even if this matter was Hu Changan's responsibility, Hu Changan would only be demoted from an official position at most.
After all, there have been no casualties so far, and those ministers just need to rest at home for a while.
Even if Hu Changan is demoted, he will most likely still serve in the Ministry of Industry.
As long as Hu Changan remains in the Ministry of Industry, Xue Xiang can ensure that Hu Changan's status remains unchanged from the past.
This is much better than resigning directly and going into seclusion.
Xue Xiang does not want people with great talents like Hu Changan to be buried.
However, when Hu Changan heard this, he shook his head firmly.
This bet was not Hu Changan's whim. Hu Changan also had long-term considerations in it.
If he cannot prove his innocence with his fingerprints, then Hu Changan's official career will basically be over.
Once Hu Changan's official career is over, the enemies lurking in the dark will definitely take action again and let Hu Changan die without a place to die.
Hu Changan didn't want to cook the fish on the chopping board.
Instead of doing this, Hu Changan might as well just retreat and resign and go into seclusion.
When he retired to seclusion at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang would still remember his previous contributions and let him become an ordinary rich man.
Even if Hu Changan has no hope of an official career, at least he can still live leisurely until old age.
What's more, Hu Changan's suggestion that everyone's fingerprints are different has been scientifically verified in modern times.
No two identical fingerprints can be found in modern big data. Hu Changan does not believe that counterexamples can be found in ancient times.
Seeing Hu Changan's determined look, Xue Xiang also sighed slightly.
It seems that this smart young man's official career will be cut off because of this impulse!
Xue Xiang wanted to persuade him again, but his train of thought was interrupted by Xu Duo, the Minister of Household Affairs on the side: "Xue Shangshu, if this young man wants to fight for his reputation, just let him fight for his reputation."
"Young people are naturally a little impulsive."
"And I think Hu Shilang should be very confident this time. Xue Shangshu, just let him try."
Xu Duo's men on the side also quickly responded.
Hu Changan looked at Xu Duo's smiling face and couldn't help but have doubts.
It seems that I have never had trouble with the Minister of the Ministry of Finance before.
Why did he suddenly jump out and speak out now?
Although Xu Duo's words seemed to be comforting, they simply forced Hu Changan to accept the bet!
If Hu Changan just spoke impulsively, he must be so regretful now that his intestines are blue!
When Hu Changan saw this, he also smiled slightly.
It seems that the tricks of the person behind the scenes are gradually coming to light.
Xu Duo's words immediately received responses from many ministers.
After all, Xu Duo, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had always been able to get everything he wanted, and he was very comfortable in the officialdom.
His proposal is naturally something that everyone should consider carefully.
In addition, everyone was indeed very curious about Hu Changan's words.
They really want to know whether the fingerprints are really different for everyone as Hu Changan said?
Seeing that the ministers at the bottom of the steps were all in agreement, Zhu Yuanzhang also followed suit and said: "In that case, then Minister Hu, please show it to us."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hu Changan also smiled slightly when he heard this, and quickly took out the coal ash and rice paper that had been prepared from his pocket.
Generally, people's fingerprints have no traces.
Hu Changan planned to use black soot to make the fingerprints visible.
