"We, the Tie Pai Gang, found a body... You know, we who run on the river and the river are afraid of bad luck. I have to give my brothers several hundred taels of silver to appease them."
It really turned into a rip-off.
The tax collector felt bad, but he thought that using money to get rid of the disaster was the best outcome, so he said, "I'll pay for it."
Lin Shoubei felt aggrieved and asked, "Did he ask you to pay?"
Tax collector: “…”
"Besides, he was so unclear and hesitant, and the incident had nothing to do with you, yet you are willing to pay for it. Who would believe you if you said you had nothing to hide?"
"..."
Beads of sweat the size of beans were running down the fat face of the sleeping tax collector.
Lin Shoubei was not good at criminal law, but if even he could see it, there was no way Li Qingcha could not see it.
The other merchants were all confused.
Corpse?
What does it have to do with the corpse?
Lin Shoubei looked at Li Qingcha.
Li Qingcha's mouth curled up into an arc, and a smile appeared on his face.
The lights on the dock flickered, shining on her face. The interweaving of light and shadow made people feel inexplicably palpitating.
Seeing this smile, Gong Lianxue knew she could rest assured.
Stupid Senior Brother must be up to something bad again~
Li Qingcha walked to the tea leaves scattered on the ground, pointed at the bloodstains on them, and asked, "Tax collector... Hehe... Mr. Tax Collector, did you also collect this box of tea?"
The tax collector didn't know what to do.
Lying or not lying is a stupid choice here.
tsk...
Li Qingcha was shocked and continued, "If you ask me, this thing can't be drunk by others. It's covered with filth."
The tax collector swallowed his saliva.
"That blood...I don't know how it got on me."
I almost confessed.
Li Qingcha said: "I didn't mention blood."
The tax collector nodded and said, "I didn't say blood. You heard it wrong..."
The voice has not fallen,
"That's what I'm talking about, shit."
"?"
Is there feces in tea leaves?
The others showed disgusted expressions.
Especially Lin Shoubei, his face turned black when he thought about how he had just touched it with his hand. He put his fingers on the armor and rubbed it hard. His fingertips were warmed up, but the awkwardness in his heart could not be erased.
Li Qingcha said: "The tax collector is in a good mood. Not only does he use tea leaves as toilets, but he also collects them and packs them into boxes after use."
Everyone: Ugh!
I almost vomited on the spot.
The picture Li Qingcha painted was so beautiful that it was impossible to imagine.
Gong Lianxue kicked with her feet, and the small stone flew onto Li Qingcha's buttocks.
Li Qingcha turned back,
Gong Lianxue: ╭(╯^╰)╮
No one else noticed the little expressions on their faces.
The tax collector said, "I don't have that kind of... Ugh... Anyway, I won't do that kind of thing."
Li Qingcha smiled and said, "Then how do we explain these filthy things?"
"I don't know what's going on."
"do not know?"
"Maybe it was left by someone who couldn't control his stuff?"
The tax collectors spoke provocatively,
Obviously, "can't control one's own stuff" is a satire on someone who meddles in other people's business.
did not expect,
"I really can't control myself."
Everyone:? ? ?
Li Qingcha said: "After a person dies, the muscles are not under control... Let me put it another way. After a person dies, the body is no longer under control, of course, the feces and mouth are also included. These filth are the best evidence that tea leaves were used to hide corpses."
Just this one sentence reveals the real purpose!
Chapter 118 I'll Make You Die with Contentment
Tax collectors kill people...
Who can believe this?
Everyone was whispering to each other.
Yao Zhixing had seen how powerful Li Qingcha was, and knew she would not do anything without a purpose.
But what if the real murderer is caught?
In the eyes of the people present, not only Yao Zhixing, but also the members of the Tiepai Gang, it would be better to take the opportunity to extort a large sum of money from the tax collector, give Fu Niapao's mother a few dozen taels, and divide the rest.
Just a few dozen taels, I don’t think the old man would be able to say anything.
Yao Zhixing looked at the gang members and said, "Sir, you are not a yamen runner. Who can't make a firecracker out of thin air?"
Li Qingcha smiled.
"This isn't a court. What's wrong with me setting off a few cannons?"
"you……"
“Yao Zhixing, I know what you are thinking, but you have to figure it out… humph… Fuchi has no family?”
"His family won't say anything."
Fu Chi is a courier, his wife doesn't care about his life or death, his parents may feel sad, but if Fu Chi has brothers and sisters, his parents will definitely care more about the living ones.
Gong Lianxue frowned, came closer, lowered her voice,
"This case is very difficult, mainly because no one is willing to investigate it thoroughly."
"Ah."
"Senior brother?"
"It would be fine if I didn't know the real murderer. 'Less trouble is worse than more trouble', as I said before. But now, the real murderer is right in front of me. I... Lianxue, a person just disappeared silently like this. Don't you think this kind of silence is scary?"
Gong Lianxue understood that Li Qingcha's words "silently" had a deeper meaning.
She lowered her head, lost in thought.
After a few seconds, Li Qingcha said again: "I hope there will be a result in this case, no matter whether it is good or bad."
Seeing Li Qingcha's resolute expression, the girl was shocked.
She was the stupid senior brother whom she met in Beijing.
During that period, Li Qingcha was sometimes aggressive, but mostly introverted and low-key. Today's Li Qingcha is different. He has the temperament of a strong man who is willing to take on responsibilities.
Senior brother’s cultivation may only be at the ninth level, but his state of mind is probably far more than that.
The girl's heart seemed to be gently hit by something.
"Brother, I will support you."
Li Qingcha nodded.
Xiang Nan noticed the strange behavior of the two brothers and sisters and could not help but be surprised.
Is Li Qingcha really from Yuezong?
Why is his style so carefree, more like that of a Japanese emperor?
Xiang Nan was also thinking in his mind, and the expression on his face seemed a little dull, which actually added to his charm.
Li Qingcha walked up to the tax collector and asked, "I'll give you a chance. Do you want to confess your guilt yourself or wait until I produce evidence?"
There is no difference between the two.
Tax Collector: ...
He didn't pretend anymore.
"I'm waiting for you to produce evidence."
This statement is exactly the same as what the criminals in TV dramas say.
Li Qingcha sighed and said, "You won't cry until you see the coffin. Let me put it this way, if you want to prove that this box once hid a body, I have ten thousand ways to do it, but now that things have come to this, I will let you die willingly."
She said to Lin Shoubei standing beside her, "Sir, could you please get me a bowl of water?"
"Get water?"
"Blood test."
Lin Shoubei: ...
In local areas, people often suspect that a child is not their own and go to the government office to perform a blood test to identify the child.
As for the result, of course it's half and half.
Even a biological child may not be compatible with his father's blood. To prove this, the county magistrate used his own blood and his child's blood to demonstrate that it was indeed sometimes compatible and sometimes not.
Blood test to identify kinship is feudal superstition, even more unbelievable than Buddhism.
Lin Shoubei shook his head like a rattle.
"That won't work."
Li Qingcha said: "Master Garrison, please trust me."
"You...ah...I can't mess around with you, otherwise I'll be in trouble...Hmph, do whatever you want, don't involve me."
"..."
Li Qingcha didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It seems that the ancients also knew that blood test for kinship was unreliable, which was actually good news for her.
She looked at Gong Lianxue,
The latter shook his head.
"No, no, it has to be a blood-bone recognition anyway."
Blood test is easy to do if it is between living people. Just take their blood and add it together to see the reaction.
If one person dies and another is reborn, it is more troublesome. The bones of the deceased person are often taken, washed, and then the blood of the living person is dripped onto the bones. If the blood quickly seeps into the bones, the person will be considered a relative.
Li Qingcha: ...
I don’t know where Gong Lianxue read the script from.
The tax collector next to him was delighted.
I thought the young man had some amazing skills, but I didn't expect it was blood recognition.
Maybe, they will be compatible in one experiment, but after many experiments, there will always be a time when they are not compatible. At that time, we can just blame others.
