"Cough...cough..."
"Let me tell you, girls have unique judgment skills for this kind of thing."
Normally, Gong Lianxue thought Li Qingcha was like a woman, but when it came to things like this, he was a real man.
The girl said in a very low voice:
"This is very strange. I found traces of the deceased having used Michundan."
Chapter 43: Could it be that 'Ji'?
Mi, spring, Dan.
After hearing these three words, Li Qingcha understood.
"No wonder the bruises are shallow this time, it turns out that... humph... the prisoner is such a piece of trash!"
She gnashed her teeth, but she hadn't lost her mind yet.
"Is it related to Yicui Tower?"
"You are not allowed to take the Michun Pill out of the building," Gong Lianxue replied in a low voice, "I didn't expect that while we were investigating the female corpse case, we could also solve the problem of the stolen prescription at the same time."
"..."
"Come on, brother! Bring the criminal to justice."
Girls become cheerleaders: ヾ(?°?°?)ノ?
Li Qingcha: “…”
She thought for a while and said, "Based on the current situation, we can basically infer the relationship between the two victims."
Gong Lianxue nodded.
"Master and servant."
"Yes, they went to Daxiangguo Temple to pray together, and then they were kidnapped by criminals. The criminals first..."
"Wait a minute, why is it a hijacking?"
"It's a very simple logic. No matter how you look at it, only kidnapping can explain the fact that the two people were killed three days apart, right? Could it be that the criminal killed the young lady first and let the maid go back home?"
After hearing what Li Qingcha said, Gong Lianxue felt that she was a bit stupid.
She awkwardly changed the subject: "If that's the case, then the identity of the deceased is much easier to confirm. Because, although the young lady doesn't show up in public, the maids have to go out shopping from time to time. If we take the portrait to the snack shops, jewelry stores, and cloth shops in the capital to ask, we will definitely get something."
Li Qingcha agreed.
"Also, prisoners can be circumscribed."
"Hey? Why is this?"
"The master and servant were kidnapped, and the places where they were killed were not far from each other, so it can be judged that the criminal dumped the bodies nearby."
As he spoke, Li Qingcha waved to the constable beside him.
"Bring me some paper and pen, I'll draw a picture..."
At this point, she was stunned.
After traveling through time, she practiced soft brush calligraphy and her handwriting was barely readable, but she definitely could not draw with a brush.
Gong Lianxue on the side was puzzled.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Ahem...um...do you have any lead tablets?"
Lead tablet is the ancient pencil.
Gong Lianxue gave Li Qingcha a cold look and thought to herself that the stupid senior brother was so pretentious. He had a brush but didn't use it, and insisted on using a pencil.
Feng Weiqi on the side didn't think so.
Mr. Siwei was a man of great talent. He didn't care whether it was written with a brush or a pencil, as long as he could leave his mark, even if he had to add gold powder to the ink.
"Go buy some lead!" Feng Weiqi ordered.
"No need to be so troublesome..." Li Qingcha felt a little embarrassed.
"I want what I want!"
Feng Weiqi glared.
The detectives had originally wanted to see if Li Qingcha could push the matter off so that they could avoid the trouble of running errands, but now they had to give up the idea and look for a shop selling the four treasures of the study nearby.
About a quarter of an hour later, someone came back with a lead tablet.
Feng Weiqi handed Li Qingcha with both hands, "Please."
Li Qingcha: “…”
She just wanted to draw a simple picture, but she didn't expect to make such a big fuss.
The pressure is a bit high...
"Please forgive me, Lord Feng," she said.
"How dare I!" Feng Weiqi said with a serious face.
Li Qingcha sighed, took the pencil and sketched on the paper.
Feng Weiqi watched from the side, frowning, totally unable to understand the beauty of those simple geometric lines.
Square and round...
I have never heard of this art form.
Finally, Li Qingcha spoke.
“This is Wansong Tower.”
She pointed to the circular area she had drawn first.
Feng Weiqi: ￣□￣｜｜
It turned out to be a map.
He suddenly lost interest and called Captain Zhao to come over and help Li Qingcha improve it.
The detectives were all local bosses in the capital, and they quickly figured out the surrounding area map.
Afterwards, they all looked incredulous.
“Can you draw like this?”
“That’s too clear…”
"As expected of Mr. Siwei."
……
Feeling.
Feng Weiqi was startled and came over.
Similar to ordinary maps, Li Qingcha marked most of the landmark buildings.
but,
"What are these dots?" Feng Weiqi asked.
"Look at the illustration." Li Qingcha said.
"legend?"
"In the upper right corner, there are explanations of the contents and indicators represented by the various symbols on the map, which helps to understand the map more easily. The dots represent the small vendors who set up stalls every day."
Feng Weiqi was stunned.
Instantly, he realized that the illustration created by Li Qingcha could compress a large amount of information into the map.
If you use this method to draw a city defense map...
OK!
Feng Weiqi felt the electric current stimulating his whole body.
"There's another line in the upper right corner, and it says... um..."
"That's a scale," Li Qingcha said, "which indicates the actual distance represented by one inch on the map. In simple terms, the scale specifies the size of the map."
"..."
"grown ups?"
"..."
Feng Weiqi stood there.
Men of letters and scholars often like to paint "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" or "A Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers", but how can a piece of paper contain so much space?
This one of Li Qingcha is the real Jiangshan Wanli!
"I admire you!" Feng Weiqi said suddenly.
"???"
Li Qingcha was confused.
Gong Lianxue, who was standing by, saw that she realized the mistake but didn't realize it, and couldn't help but complain: "Stupid Senior Brother, that's how you are. You don't even realize how shocking the thing you did is."
Feng Weiqi said with emotion: "Originally, I wanted to keep the master's calligraphy, but now it seems that this thing must be handed over to the country."
Li Qingcha quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, no, I drew this purely to solve the case."
"Isn't it a waste of resources to use this picture to solve the case?"
"No, look..."
Li Qingcha snatched the map and drew two circles on it with Wansong Tower as the center.
Feng Weiqi was very distressed.
"What is Mr. Siwei going to do?"
"My Lord, the first circle was drawn by me assuming that the prisoner dumped the body on foot; the second circle was drawn when he dumped the body in a carriage."
Hearing her say this, the detectives present were all stunned.
I thought that having a map would greatly improve efficiency, but now I realize that I was oversimplifying things.
Having Li Qingcha alone is more effective than having all the constables from the Six Gates running themselves to death.
I saw her drawing two circles with Daxiangguo Temple as the center.
Gong Lianxue clapped her hands.
"I see. The criminal must be hiding the second victim in the intersection area."
"But that requires a premise: the criminal's habit of disposing of corpses is consistent. But considering his panic when he committed the crime for the first time, it may not be so regular, so the reference value is relatively low."
After hearing this, everyone felt that Li Qingcha was humble.
Captain Zhao took the map and said, "That's enough. That's enough."
Li Qingcha nodded.
"I hope so."
The other detectives gathered around to study the map.
“Ordinary residential buildings are easy to investigate.”
“The shops are simple too.”
"There are a few mansions that are quite troublesome, including the Zhang Mansion, the Li Mansion, the Feng... ahem... and the Ji Mansion."
……
They have already started to divide the work.
Feng Weiqi waved his hand and arranged: "Don't just think about looking for the criminal. You also need to take the portrait of the second victim to the pastry shop, jewelry store, and cloth shop to ask and see if you can confirm the identity."
