There are hundreds of large and small boats on the Jinshui River, and thousands of people enjoy themselves. It can be said that the Jinshui River after nightfall is one of the scenic spots in Beijing.
This brings great convenience to Jiang Si.
Although Zhen Shicheng is aware of the details, he is not a after all. It can be said that it is difficult to find clues to the arson from so many people and ships. Even if he can find the clues, it will not take a day.
Jiang Si did not take it lightly because of this, and she had a few dealings with Zhen Shicheng to make her understand that she could not ignore any detail.
The ship that Lao Qin rented must be properly disposed of.
She still remembered the scene where Yang Sheng used his force to climb up the ship's gunwale. When Yang Shengcai fell back into the water, he finally died silently at the bottom of the river, leaving his mark on the ship's gunship.
Zhen Shicheng is a person with great wisdom. If he starts with the person who chartered the boat last night, and then inspects the hull, once the traces are found, he may be able to guess that the person who chartered the boat is wrong. In this way, even if she told Lao Qin to hide his appearance when going to charter a boat, there might be uncontrollable situations.
Jiang Si certainly didn't want to get into trouble because of his carelessness.
"Old Qin let the girl rest assured, he handled everything properly."
"That's good." Jiang Si smiled.
She can still trust Lao Qin's ability, otherwise she would not have watched her second brother fall into the water last night but was so relieved.
The Jinshui River is not turbulent, it is a very gentle and long river, so it is so suitable for those painted pleasure boats to roam here, for people to have fun.
It is precisely because of this that Lao Qin's skill and wateriness can be said to be foolproof to rescue the second brother in time.
Aman has not yet awakened from the "heroic" of his master's murder, and worshiped, "Girl, how do you know that you want to deal with that ship? The maidservant went to tell Old Qin, and Old Qin said You are so amazing.
Jiang Si laughed at herself: "I can't be so good, but because I take it seriously, I think more."
She was born again. Of course, life is more than just "revenge", but guarding her relatives is one of the most important things. Otherwise, let the bad luck of the previous life come and be free and alone?
She could never do this, so even if her hands were stained with blood, she would not hesitate.
In the Shuntian Mansion, Zhen Shicheng paced slowly with his hands behind his back.
Not long ago, Wu Zuo reported an incident to him.
Wasaku found sawdust between the nails of the dead!
This shows what?
Through the accounts of Cui Yi and others, they all jumped into the river from the window along with the big fire last night, which means that the sawdust in the hands of the dead has nothing to do with the boat.
So what is the most likely scenario for sawdust in the nails of the deceased?
Zhen Shicheng was a very daring person, and soon a bold guess appeared in his mind: the deceased jumped into the river, swam to the nearest boat in a panic, and then firmly grasped the side or oar of the boat.
But he was not saved, and he left sawdust in his nails.
In fact, Yang Shengcai was not saved, which made Zhen Shicheng very puzzling.
He personally went to the Jinshui River to observe it. The current was very gentle, not to mention that the lights were bright at night and there were countless ships nearby. How could it not be saved? We must know that everyone on the painting boat except Yang Shengcai, even the second son of Dongping Bofu who fell into the water after drinking too much, was rescued.
With these considerations in mind, Zhen Shicheng's guess became clearer: the person who asked for help from the deceased was probably the murderer!
That is to say, that little boy still has accomplices, they have at least one boat, if luck is good, maybe they can find the traces of the deceased's nails on the ship's side or somewhere.
Zhen Shicheng was not in a good mood thinking about this.
Although he will show a fair attitude when handling the case, no matter what the identity of the deceased is, finding out the truth is what he should do, but this time Yang Shengcai's death really made him feel very happy.
Such scumbags have caused a lot of lives when they were only a teenager, and they still don’t know how many people are harmed when they are old.
No matter what he thought in his mind, Zhen Shicheng still ordered decisively: "Ask the owners of those cruise ships first if there are any people who charter them yesterday, and if so, have the ships returned."
The subordinate took the order and left, and soon another subordinate came down to report: "My lord, there is a visitor from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites."
Zhen Shicheng nodded, raised his foot and walked towards the hall.
Yang Shengcai's father came from Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites. At this time, Yang's father had red eyes, his face was slightly puffy, and he looked haggard.
It is an unbearable pain for anyone with white hair to send it to a black-haired person.
Although Zhen Shicheng doesn't have the slightest affection for Yang Shengcai, he sympathizes with Father Yang and greets him gently, "Brother Yang, be careful about your body."
Father Yang sneered: "Sir Zhen, don't say this. Did you find the arsonist?"
Although he still has two young concubines, but Yang Sheng is the only one who has such a baby bump, even if he often gets into trouble, he can't avoid being beaten and scolded, but it hurts to the bone.
Now that his son is gone, if he can't find the murderer, he can't wait to burn Shuntian Mansion with a torch.
"Not found yet." Seeing the other party's poor attitude, Zhen Shicheng's tone also calmed down.
What about Shangshufu?
Is he scared to be able to sit firmly in Shuntian Fu Yin's position?
Zhen Shicheng is a person who has climbed step by step from a poor family. Such a person may have no foundation when he was young, but being able to have the current status is by no means as simple as an official with no family background thought.
"It's been a night, why haven't you found it?" Father Yang asked aggressively.
Zhen Shicheng didn't hesitate to stroke his beard: "There were at least thousands of people on the Jinshui River last night. Does Brother Yang think that the official is a with three heads and six arms, and you can know where the people are by pinching fingers? Besides, that little one. He also jumped into the water, perhaps drowned as people guessed."
Hmph, if you have a son, you must have a father. If you don't care about it anymore, let the three law divisions investigate. After finding out who the murderer was, he issued a pennant!
Zhen Shicheng has never been a pedantic person. As Shuntian Fuyin, he doesn't just solve crimes, but because he is most interested in this area, he invests the most. In fact, occasionally, others can't take him as a shopkeeper.
"Then you tell me when you can find someone?"
"It's hard to say. Brother Yang is embarrassed by asking this question."
"You!" Father Yang wanted to vent his anger, but faced Zhen Shicheng's calm and indifferent face, he couldn't come out.
"I heard that the person who rescued the second son of Dongping Bo's House was under Master Zhen, and now I suspect that the person was related to the death of Inuzi. Master Zhen called out that person for me to see."
You can't get into a stalemate with Zhen Shicheng, at least you can't lightly spare the boy who rescued Dongping Bofu but didn't save his son!
Zhen Shicheng had a strange tone: "Brother Yang wants to see my men?"
