No one can answer this question.

Li Yuchun said, "what's the reason why the demons robbed the tax money?"

"Yin Fu Yao never does things as he pleases, but he does things as he pleases

Yellow skirt girl has different opinions: "human flesh is not more delicious... Well, you wait a moment, I'll finish the bun first."

She finished eating two big meat buns, and her face turned into a small cage bag. She tried hard to swallow and drink a cup of tea. Then she continued the topic just now, and could freely talk about human flesh:

"demons have no scruples about doing things, and silver may not be attractive in their eyes. Even if you want money, stealing or robbing is safer than robbing tax money directly. "

In Dafeng Kyoto, it's too risky to rob tax money on the street.

Chen Fu Yin nodded: "it's reasonable. I can't rule out that it's someone's instigation."

Li Yuchun narrowed his eyes: "then who will make the demons steal the tax money? What is the reason? Why does this tax money have to be 150000 liang? "

"We can think that the backstage agents need a lot of money, but they can't make too much noise... To be exact, they can't make money recklessly." Chen Fu Yin's heart moved.

"So you're looking at the tax money?" The girl in the yellow skirt pursed her lips.

"The route of tax and silver escort is random, which is decided temporarily by Xu Pingzhi, a hundred families of the imperial sword guard, while the demons can ambush in the river ahead of time... There is a strong possibility that there are insiders in the escort team."

when Yin went to see Li Yulu, he asked him

The yellow skirt girl gave him a slant: "do you look down on our Tianjian's Qi watching skill? I have said that all the soldiers escorting the tax money didn't know it."

The train of thought got stuck again, and the three were silent for a while.

The air suddenly quieted down.

Li Yuchun looked down at the dossier, Chen Fu Yin sighed. The yellow skirt girl fiddles with the Feng Shui tray around her waist, thinking that she has to leave Jingzhao mansion before sunset and go into the palace to find the princess Chang to have a meal.

The craftsmanship of the palace cook is the best in the world!

Compared with them, the yellow skirt girl named Caiwei is more likely to act as a guest Qing to assist in handling cases.

Although she is one of the persons in charge of the case, she does not need to shoulder too much responsibility.

Chen Fu Yin's eyes moved and said tentatively: "the case is progressing slowly at present, and time is pressing. It's really worrying. Mr. Li, why don't you ask Mr. Wei? "

The middle-aged man glanced at him and hummed coldly: "you civil servants have jingcha, we also have watchmen. To tell you the truth, this is the assessment given to me by Duke Wei. "

Chen Fu Yin said with a bitter smile: "this case can't be solved, and I'm afraid I can't keep my position under my ass. All over the country are looking at us. "

They looked at each other in silence, with a dignified atmosphere.

...

"if it's a monster, there's nothing I can do!" Xu Qi'an's face turned white, and he felt God's deep malice.

There are monsters in this world. Demons have existed since ancient times. They hunt and devour each other with human beings.

In the hundred thousand mountains of Southern Xinjiang, there is a kingdom of ten thousand demons, which is the largest settlement of demons.

Five hundred years ago, under the leadership of Buddhism, the western countries declared war on the Wanyao kingdom in southern Xinjiang. They fought a series of wars before and after, and finally wiped out the demon kingdom.

The battle was named "Jia Zi Dang Yao" in history books.

Since then, the spirit of the demon clan has been damaged and gradually declined. Buddhism soared to the sky and Buddhism flourished.

According to Xu Qian's later knowledge, human beings have won the battle for the top of the food chain.

If the tax money is a monster, then he can only recover the money to keep himself and the Xu family.

As an unyielding silver at the peak of refining, Xu Qi'an felt that he could not turn over.

In autumn, the weather was cold and humid, and Xu Qian was in a cold sweat.

He's scared!

He knows that he can't escape from prison at all. He also knows that human rights are too weak in this society where the imperial power is high.

It's all in the mind of others.

I used to fantasize about wearing the costume of copying poems back in ancient times. I felt very cool, and the reality slapped him hard.

I have to be beaten by the society.

"No, it's just a guess. It's just a guess of Jingzhao government. I can't be influenced by their guess. I'll analyze it myself... And save it, and save it..."

his strong desire for survival made him calm down quickly and his logic became more rigorous and clear again.

"Why don't you listen to the banshees who don't have to steal money from books?" Xu Qian slapped himself, "reasoned again!"

The most important part of reasoning is subtraction, listing the clues one by one and sorting them out.Otherwise, it will be a wool ball, and the more you think about it, the more confused you will be.

The two most obvious clues of the tax case are as follows:

one: evil wind!

2: Tax money explodes after falling into the river!

In addition to martial arts, all major cultivation systems have the ability to blow demons. Therefore, "clue 1" can only be used as evidence of the participation of "practitioners", and can not give a more detailed goal.

The suspicion of the second uncle, who was born in Wufu, was reduced, though he was not excluded from colluding with others.

The explosion of clue 2 is an unreasonable doubt. It is normal for high rank practitioners to fight and cause explosion. However, in the case of missing tax money, there was no armed struggle, so the explosion was unreasonable.

"Unless it had to explode!" Xu Qian murmured.

"In every major cultivation system, what profession needs explosion to achieve its goal?"

Xu Qi'an thought for a moment, but didn't get a clue. Then he felt that he and Jing Zhao Fu had made the same mistake.

There was something wrong with jingzhaofu's thinking at the beginning. According to the most obvious clues in the case, he judged that the murderer was a monster, and then ran wildly along this road, never to return.

This is not wrong. The problem is that this judgment is too hasty.

Although Xu Qi'an has integrated memory, he is still dominated by the thinking of modern people, and mainly by the experience of previous lives. He prefers to shred the cocoons in the files, chew the details that are not easy to detect, and then make a conclusion.

"I can't figure out the way for the moment, so I'll change my mind and break through from other places. I'll rule out that it's a monster, assuming it's a well planned, man-made incident. "

"Then, he is bound to leave a flaw in the case."

"Rocar's law of material exchange tells us that whenever a crime is committed, it will leave direct or indirect traces on the scene...

all kinds of traces can be divided into two categories, which are not clearly remembered, such as footprints, fingerprints, traces of horses and vehicles, traces of tools and instruments, etc."

"The flaw is not in the two most conspicuous clues, but in these various traces..."

according to the description of the file, Xu Qi'an is in his mind about the process of escorting the tax money of the second uncle.

Adrenaline is secreted crazily and brain cells are highly active. If pheromones can be mimicked, they are like Koi in the pool, scrambling for food and boiling water.

After repeating and deliberating over and over again,

all kinds of information and clues on the dossier converge, and his brain is like a high-speed CPU.

With the patchwork of all kinds of information, the case is more and more clear.

Unconsciously, Xu Qi'an felt that he had entered a certain state. His soul flew up lightly, broke through the body and buildings, and came to the sky over Kyoto.

Time seems to turn back. The sun is about to rise in the East. Xu Pingzhi leads a group of strong and resolute Jia Shi to escort tax money to the account department.

At this time, it was the second quarter of Maoshi... When we arrived at Guangnan street, suddenly a demon wind came, and the horses were frightened and rushed into the river.

Boom!

The river exploded and the turbid waves emptied.

The explosion seemed to ring in Xu Qi'an's heart. He kicked his legs like a reflex and woke up.

Tired in the eyes, but full of excitement and ecstasy.

"I know, I know, ha ha ha, I solved the puzzle!"

Xu Qian laughed wildly and beat the fence hard: "come on, come on, come on."

The jailer in charge of the guard was startled, carrying a firestick and swearing: "it's noisy. It's a long life, isn't it?"

Beat the fence hard to scare Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an stepped back and released his hand holding the fence, so as not to be knocked off. He said in a deep voice, "I want to see the official."

"A prisoner on the stage, when he sees the Fu Yin... He doesn't pee to take care of himself." The jailer laughed angrily and put the stick into the fence to poke Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an retreated and dodged again.

"How dare you hide?" The jailer felt the key on his waist and said with a grim smile, "I've broken your leg today."

"I have an important clue about the robbery of tax money. I want to see the official. You are responsible for the delay." Xu Qi'an stares at him.

The jailer's face froze.

...

in the inner hall, the girl who finished the meat bag continued to chew sugarcane, and sometimes took a few preserves from the deerskin bag to eat.

On the one hand, it's gloomy, on the other hand, it's heartless.

"Your Majesty ordered us to solve the case within five days, because the time was too long and the tax money might never be recovered." Chen Fu Yin paced back and forth in the hall. He couldn't sit still:

"but time is so tight that we can't do anything about it." It takes time to solve a case.

The official slapped his hand and said in a deep voice, "I'll go and ask the Duke of Wei to give me the file."

Li Yuchun hesitated: "I'll go with you."

The yellow skirt girl glanced at him and said with a smile, "it's OK. You two don't have to be held accountable by your majesty if we are the big country hand who we are serving.""However, it's much more serious to reduce the score in Duke Wei's mind than to be held accountable by his majesty." She laughed, revealing two small white tiger teeth.

The middle-aged man's face sank.

A Yamen in soap clothes bowed his head, came in quickly, bowed his body and said: "Mr. Fu Yin, the jailer reported that Xu Qian, the nephew of Xu Pingzhi, had just said that there was an important clue about the robbery of tax money. I want to meet you."

The three men's eyes were fixed at the same time.

If you remember correctly, Xu Qian is just a marginal figure who has nothing to do with the case. After the initial interrogation and torture, he was identified as an idle person who has nothing to do with the case.

Chen Fu Yin pondered for a moment and said, "bring the people up."

In a short time, Xu Qi'an, who was wearing prison clothes and had dried up blood stains on his body, was brought up by the Yamen guards. As he walked, his handcuffs and shackles clattered.
