Such transactions are naturally recorded. When the shopkeeper took out his account book and checked, he found out: the person who bought the shoes was a man named Stidi.
Li Ziyu doesn't know who Stiti is, but the detectives in the police station all know. The steward of Wenlan Academy has been arrested because he was involved in acting as a middleman to pay for the assassination of the Chaoshan Guild Hall, and is now being held.
In the government prison.
Wu Xiang immediately brought Shi Tidi to trial. Shi Tidi heard that he was asking about buying shoes from Changyu, but he was very straightforward and immediately admitted that he had handled it.
It turns out that these shoes were purchased by him for the students of Wenlan Academy. As the largest and richest academy in Guangzhou, there is a so-called "clothing and shoe money" every year - each person can get a piece of cotton ruler and two pairs of shoes. History
As the master who is actually in charge of the specific affairs of Wenlan Academy, it is quite normal to take advantage of the situation.
So that’s it. Wu Xiang thought, since the shoes were bought by Wenlan Academy, the victim was probably a student or related person of the academy.
"Have all the shoes been handed out?"
Shi Tidi said that this happened at the end of last year, and the shoes had been distributed long ago. There were still more than a dozen pairs left untouched in the academy.
Wu Xiang immediately asked the police to go to the academy and bring in the list of shoes distributed on New Year's Eve last year and the remaining shoes. After comparison, the shoes were confirmed to belong to the same batch of Changyu goods as the burned shoes.
As the case developed, Mu Min felt that the matter might not be as simple as imagined. She ordered the establishment of a task force, led by Wu Xiang, to take charge of the case. At the same time, Li Ziyu and Zhao Gui were also added to the task force.
The task force visited one by one to investigate the whereabouts of the shoes. The final investigation confirmed that there were more than 240 people in Wenlan Academy who had received the shoes, including students, teachers, and handymen.
Most people still remember these two pairs of shoes, because the quality is really not that good. Whether they are worn by themselves or for others to wear, the soles will either crack or have holes worn out within three months. Everyone is disappointed with such low-quality shoes.
He is also very calm - because the things distributed in the academy are always so "black-hearted". The blue cloth ruler that was distributed with the shoes also has rough holes and cannot be drained into the water. Once it falls into the water, it will be messed up.
.
However, some people who received the shoes were not in the academy. The police investigated and found that 31 people were currently missing. Most of them had asked for leave from the academy for various reasons, but Gao Chongjiu knew that most of these people were
Because of the fact that Australians came to the city, they were afraid of what might happen if they stayed in Guangzhou, so they simply went back to the countryside to avoid the limelight.
After some investigation, Gao Chongjiu reported that five of the thirty-one people who were not in the academy lived in the local area. They neither came to school nor were at home, and their whereabouts were unknown. It was recommended that these five people be listed as key targets for investigation.
A, a man named He, is from Nanhai County. He is forty years old. He was born in Nanhai County. He studied in an academy for five years and failed to pass the examination. He is married and his family is in a difficult situation. He relies on his parents and parents-in-law for financial support. One day at the end of last month
He said he was going to have tea and talk with friends, but his family had been searching for him for many days to no avail, and he has not returned yet. He studies hard and does not have many friends.
B, a man named Cao, 34 years old. He is from Nanhai County and is a supervisor. He is married. He has been studying in the academy for seven years and rarely goes to the academy on weekdays. He went out to drink tea one day at the beginning of this month and has not returned yet.
C, a man surnamed Xun, 26 years old, from Haikang County. He was born in Haikang County. He is widowed and has been studying in the academy for two years. It is said that this man is a master in a wealthy family and rarely comes to the academy. The last time he was seen in the academy was during the Chinese New Year.
He was given money and rice every time. Since then, I haven’t seen him come to the academy.
Ding, a man surnamed Wang, is twenty-four years old. He is from Panyu County. He was born as a child. He is married. He has been studying in the academy for three years. He often comes to the academy but does not like studying. Not only did he stop coming to the academy soon after the Senate entered the city, but his whole family disappeared.
Wu, a man surnamed Pu, is 21 years old and belongs to the Guangzhou Guard Army. He is unmarried. He has been studying in the academy for three years. He studies seriously. He disappeared shortly after the Senate entered the city and his whereabouts are unknown at home.
However, none of the five missing people matched the headless body found, because according to Liu San's identification, the deceased was approximately between fifty and fifty-five years old. None of the five missing people matched the age range.
.
Because the students may not wear the shoes themselves, but may give them to relatives, friends or servants to wear, it seems inappropriate to rule out these five people as suspects.
The task force interrogated the family members and surrounding people of these five people and inquired about the whereabouts of the shoes. Except for the man surnamed Wang, whose entire family disappeared, and the man surnamed Xun, who did not know who his employer was, all other family members
I recalled the whereabouts of these two pairs of shoes.
As a result, only two people's shoes were missing. While Wu Xiang asked people to investigate the social background of the missing Xun Sansheng and Wang Dong in the academy, he also brought up the historical title. This person was in Wenlan Academy
I am an old man who is very familiar with the situation in the academy. Maybe I can get some useful information from him.
The troops were divided into two groups. Li Zhenguo went to the academy to investigate and learned a situation: the chief of the academy said that Xun Sansheng was recommended for admission by someone with a high threshold in the city. He said that he was a hyperplasia in Haikang County, but no one had seen his body.
Student certificate of Kangxian County School.
Because Wenlan Academy is not an official school, it does not matter whether the students are actually students. However, Wenlan Academy has always been famous for its "Article Examination". Even if the children of rich and noble families are really incompetent and cannot become a scholar, they must at least get one.
Only in the name of a supervisor can you enroll in school. It's rare to see someone like this with nothing in the academy.
"Although this Xun Sansheng has entered school, he has never been there to study. However, he always comes to collect money, rice and items during the three festivals. Judging from his appearance, words and deeds, he is not a scholar," the manager said.
"Do you know which school has the highest threshold for recommending him to enter school?"
"This is a big deal," said the headmaster, "it's Mr. Zhong Aijiao, one of the directors of this hospital."
This aroused Li Zhenguo's interest. Although Mr. Zhong could only be regarded as the tail of the first-class gentry in Guangzhou, he would inexplicably recommend a person of unknown origin to enter the academy. What was the origin of Xun Sansheng?
The headmaster said that this Xun Sansheng was in the academy just for a name. On weekdays, he didn't come to study except to collect money, rice and other items from the academy during the three festivals. Although he was not good-looking, there was nothing special about him.
As for Wang Dong, the headmaster shook his head and said he was a "dissolute son" and "rotten wood cannot be carved." The headmaster didn't know much about him. He said he came to study just to kill time, and he also went to the academy to study.
He just kept it as he pleased. He just often seduced ignorant and handsome students in the academy. Some people were greedy for his money, so he succeeded in getting a few of them. There were always jealousies, which made the academy a mess.
"Speaking of such a student, our academy will never tolerate him. It's just that Master Shi, who is in charge, insists on him, so he is allowed to run amok in the academy. Alas! What a shame!"
Judging from the expression on the headmaster's face, the resentment towards Shi Tidi's hijacking of the academy is palpable.
Li Zhenguo came out of the academy and rushed to Zhongzhai. Mr. Zhong said that Xun Sansheng was indeed recommended to the academy by him. He was actually his master-he recommended him to the academy just to get a share of money and food. Such a thing, the director of the academy said
They all knew it tacitly.
As for the whereabouts of Xun Sansheng, Master Zhong said that there has been a lot of chaos outside recently and people in the village in the countryside are uneasy. He sent Master Xun to the countryside a few days ago.
As for the shoes given out by the academy, he naturally has no memory. But the shoes should be worn by Master Xun himself - "His wife died and no one made shoes for him. Can he not wear ready-made shoes?"
Here Wu Xiang also obtained important information during the historical examination. It turned out that Wang Dong had a good background and was the young master of the "King of Gou" family.
It turned out that Wang Dong was the son of the labor leader Wang Daniao that Liu Xiang was looking for. Because his family had a hereditary job of dredging and dredging ditches, they had "ditch maps" in their hands, so they were nicknamed "Ditch King".
Wang DaNiao disappeared without a trace shortly after Liu Xiang entered the city. His son also disappeared from the world, leaving only his female family members and servants at home. The police station continued to conduct overt and covert visits in and outside Guangzhou, but there was still no trace of it.
None were found.
Unexpectedly, this case would involve Wang Dayiao! When Li Zhenguo came back, the two of them discussed the situation and felt that Wang Dong was more suspicious. At this time, Li Zhenguo came up with a hypothesis: the deceased was Wang Dayiao!
No matter in terms of age or body shape, the deceased was very similar to Wang Daniao.
Wu Xiang was not sure, because the information said that Shangwang Daniao was just a hereditary foreman under the government office, responsible for clearing ditches and digging silt. In the government service system, his rank was the lowest. He was just a person.
The foreman also had to work hard, but the deceased was in good shape, with underdeveloped muscles, no calluses on his limbs, and delicate, white skin... No matter how you look at it, he was a wealthy man who lived a comfortable life.
"You don't know anything about Captain Wu. As a foreman, his family is very rich." Gao Chongjiu listened to their conversation and interjected that the Wang family had ditch plans in hand and never cared about the specific construction.
They all asked their disciples and grandsons to dig ditches. Although the successive heads of the Wang family had humble positions, they still had a lot of private wealth.
"...I think the deceased may indeed be Wang DaNiao, and his body shape is very similar - and now there are shoes as evidence."
"Since his family is rich, why do he wear such low-quality shoes?"
"That's not surprising," Gao Chongjiu said. "Wang Da Niao is usually quite stingy. He is willing to spend money on his women and sons. He is not very particular about food and clothing."
"Assuming that the deceased is indeed him, why did the murderer kill him, and why did he cut off his head and genitals?" Wu Xiang said, "The most valuable thing on his body is the ditch map. The murderer just killed the person and grabbed it.
.Why take the risk to do the following series of things?” (To be continued.)
