"Mr. Di is probably a misunderstanding. With just these incomplete arrows, how can we determine that it must be a powerful crossbow? Isn't it too far-fetched?"
Li Chen is not an ordinary person after all. He is still a little stingy and is not stupid enough to admit his account on the spot. After his eyes turned, he smiled and said without a smile.
"It's very simple. The arrow with a bow has a large arrow, while the arrow with a crossbow has a small arrow. This is one, and the second is the arrow with a long arrow with a short arrow. Shangdang Gong, please see how long the arrow is?
”
Di Renjie was not afraid of Li Chen's counterattack at all. He took out a relatively intact piece from several incomplete arrows and handed it to Li Chen, and listed three major reasons confidently.
"Haha, Lord Di has good eyesight. This may be a crossbow, but it cannot be said that it is from the official army's standard crossbow. It should be noted that although the court ban is strict, it can be banned repeatedly. There are still crossbows among the people, those thieves.
It makes sense to dare to act rampantly, but there are a few crossbows to make a basis for it.”
Faced with the facts, Li Chen could not forcefully say that these incomplete arrows were not crossbow arrows, but he would never admit that these crossbow arrows were made of powerful crossbows, and he did not hesitate to talk nonsense about this.
"What Shangdang Gong said is reasonable, but it is not applicable carefully. As far as Di knows, our crossbows are customized, and the materials collected by craftsmen in each field must be recorded, regardless of the finished product or the residual quantity.
There are no exceptions. For counting, every time a hundred, craftsmen will engrave marks on the arrow shaft. There is a mark on the arrow shaft. The two words "Wang San" can be vaguely distinguished. It is the craftsman named Wang.
The 300th arrow made can be found by just going to the arrow making workshop to check it out!”
Di Renjie patiently listened to Li Chen's quibbling words, but was not moved by it. He smiled slightly, flipped the arrow shaft, pointed to the two vague small words on the arrow shaft, and easily turned it up.
Li Chen's quibbling refuted back.
"This..., haha, what Lord Di said is quite reasonable, but it is hard to guarantee that the crossbow was not stolen from the workshop. It is difficult to explain the strangeness for a while. Let the officials turn around.
Check it out."
Although the loss of materials in the army is also a crime, it is a small crime after all. At most, it is just a warning from the court. If the command of the state army to attack the post station at night, it is a death sentence. Among them, Li Chen will not know that he will live or die.
Be willing to let go.
"Well, it's true that we should have checked it out. With such a large fire, the arrows should have been completely eliminated, but there were still dozens of remnants, which shows that there were so many crossbow arrows shot into the post station at that time, and I'm afraid there should be nearly a thousand.
Such a large number is really amazing.”
Even though he knew that Li Chen was cheating, Di Renjie did not point it out on the spot, but nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile.
"It should be investigated, it should be investigated, haha, Lord Di, don't worry, the next official will turn around and have a thorough investigation."
Nearly a thousand crossbow arrows means at least more than a hundred powerful crossbows. This number is amazing. If you want to use the excuse lost in the workshop to explain it, it will obviously not work. Li Chen is not stupid, so he can hear it.
The hint in Di Renjie's words made his face pale immediately, but he didn't dare to defend himself. He could only nod his head in a mess and answered with a dry smile.
"Then it's a labor."
Di Renjie obviously had no intention of ripping up the face with Li Chen on the spot. He just smiled and thanked him, and stopped entangling in the matter. He didn't care about what Li Chen had expressed, and walked towards the coroners who had finished the on-site investigation. Go past.
"Mr. Di."
When the coroners who were gathering together to discuss privately, they stopped discussing and stood up. Only the middle-aged coroner rushed forward and rushed forward. It was Qiao Santai, a coroner master who was specially transferred from the Ministry of Justice.
"No need to be polite, but what are you finding?"
Di Renjie raised his hand and stopped Qiao Santai's big gift from him, and asked calmly.
"If you want to go back to the master, the scene has been damaged for many days, and it is difficult to restore the scene at the time of the incident. My subordinates can only come up with some simple clues."
Although Qiao Santai only has thirty-five or six, he has learned from his father's coronary arts since childhood, but has a very deep qualification in the coronary arts industry. He is known as the first person in the Ministry of Justice. He has a very vicious vision. Li Chen, behind Di Renjie, had no much concern. He revealed that the wreckage here was artificially arranged.
"Oh? Then let's talk."
Di Renjie himself is also proficient in coroner work, so he naturally knows that the scene has been tricked several times. The reason why he found those crossbow arrows in front is not only because he searched carefully, but also because of luck. Therefore, Di Renjie didn't feel surprised at all when Qiao Santai said that, but he said calmly, and then signaled Qiao Santai to continue talking.
"No, according to the remaining traces on the scene, we can see that the fire at this station was ignited from the inside to the outside, and there were at least three fires. The fire spread very quickly. Everyone in the frightened station seemed to be rushing towards the front yard in panic, but The thief was attacked heavily at the gate of the courtyard, leaving several fishy blood mud on the scene. In addition, someone should have tried to break out from the high wall on the west side, and was blocked by the enemy's arrows. His life and death were unknown, and the wall was on the broken wall. There are more than a dozen deep holes left, but no arrows are found, and they are obviously cleaned up. Third, the residual marks of the floor tiles on the survey site are corrugated and varying in depth, and it is suspected that they are overfire twice. .”
Although the scene has been destroyed by humans, in the eyes of experts like Qiao Santai, there are still many secrets. As his analysis is layered and layered, the truth has almost been revealed.
"The second time it's too much? What is the explanation for Shangdang Gong?"
Di Renjie had already known the truth of the matter, and naturally believed Qiao Santai's analysis. Then he frowned, looked at Li Chen with a gloomy face, and asked in a questioning tone.
"This, this..., this shouldn't be done. Ah, maybe the thief was afraid that he would not burn thoroughly enough, and he might have ignited the fire from outside again, well, that's what it should be."
When Li Chen heard Di Renjie ask about this, he immediately panicked. The reason was very simple. He ordered the second arson to completely destroy the entire scene. He originally thought that the matter was very hidden, but he did not expect it. Qiao Santai actually saw it through. He was shocked and scared. His tongue was immediately tied. After he hesitating for a while, he cleverly gave an explanation of his flaws.
"Shangdang Gong's words are wrong. You must know that floor tiles are fire-resistant objects. If they are completely burned, they will be difficult to damage. There will be no wavy burn marks on them. At most, they will be just black. Only after they are burned and cooled down.
If it is burned again, these wave-like burn marks will appear. There is no doubt that there will be at least half a day between the two burns."
Li Chen's lies are too low-level, just talking lies with his eyes open. Qiao Santai had no fondness for him, and naturally exposed his words on the spot without hesitation.
"Ah, what happened? Haha, this is the first time I heard about it. Haha, I was not present on that day. I still need to investigate what happened. Lord Di, it's getting late, you think you have to do it first
Go back to the city?"
The lie was exposed on the spot, and Li Chen was immediately unable to hold on to his face, but he couldn't use force at the moment, and he couldn't get angry. He could only make a few ugly dry laughs with shamelessness and perfunctory words.
After a few words, he immediately urged Di Renjie to return to the city.
"Well, the people who should be surveyed have been surveyed now, so I'll go back to the city first."
Di Renjie did not agree to Li Chen's proposal immediately, but looked at Li Chen meaningfully, making Li Chen lower his head in panic, then laughed and nodded to agree.
"Okay, okay, okay, Lord Di, please!"
After a live survey, Li Chen was defeated several times. He was already tired, depressed and panicked. He naturally didn't want to stay in this broken place. When he heard that Di Renjie was finally willing to withdraw his troops, he immediately let go of his mouth secretly.
Atmospheric, he quickly made a "please" gesture and made Di Renjie get on the carriage with great sincerity. Soon, the number of carriages was already under the escort of a group of cavalry and rushed to Shangdang City. The scene was only
The messy wreckage left in the ground was as ugly as the abscesses on the earth, as if silently telling the tragic situation that happened a few days ago...
"Waste, why don't you die? A bastard? Just a little thing has made you do like this. Waste, a lot of waste, you, you, you..."
Li Chen, who had a ghost in his heart, sent Di Renjie and others back to the villa, rushed back to the governor's mansion, found his father in the study room, and didn't even bother to take a breath, so he panic to investigate today.
The situation on the scene was reported. What was received? Naturally, it was not Li Yuanjia's kind words of praise, but a angrily scolding.
"Don't let go of your anger, your father calms down, your child deserves to die, but now the matter has been made, so please ask your father to have an idea. If so, if this matter is exposed to the court, then..."
What Li Chen feared most was his father. When Li Yuanjia got angry, Li Chen's face turned green immediately. He hurriedly knelt on the ground, and he begged in a vain.
"Oh, if you don't succeed, you can do more than lose. You are talking about such a person. One day, you will be dragged down by you idiot until death!"
Looking at the youngest son kneeling on the ground, Li Yuanjia was so angry that he shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed helplessly.
"The father is angry. It's all the fault of the child. Now that things have come to this point, I'll ask the father..."
Li Chen felt really wronged. He advised Li Yuanjia not to participate in this impeachment case on the spot. Unfortunately, Li Yuanjia insisted on not listening at that time. Now he has caused so many troubles, but Li Chen
He was also a scapegoat and was just a scapegoat. He had nowhere to say anything if he had reason.
"Shut up, get out, go prepare the frame, and go to the villa with me!"
Li Yuanjia was too lazy to listen to Li Chen's nonsense anymore. Before he could finish his words, he stomped his feet hatefully and scolded him in anger.
"Ah, yes, yes..."
When Li Chen heard his father's orders, he felt relieved for no reason and did not dare to ask any more questions. He got up and rushed out of the study like he ran away...
