Great Lawyer

Chapter 373

Song Ji's business is very good, the main reason is that they have a lot of goods, ranging from cheap bracelets with a few pennies each to thousands of taels.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a dazzling array of emeralds and jade.The young lady shuttled among them, and the buyer was warmly received as soon as he entered the door, with a gentle tone and thoughtful service.

Unlike ordinary stores, where you look at your purchasing power when you enter the door, here they don't look, they are customers when they come in.

"Shan Butou, if you have something to say, let's go to the yamen, how can I let you go there in person." Song Ji's shopkeeper was surnamed Ma, and Ma shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

Shan Butou first introduced Du Jiuyan, and then said to Shopkeeper Ma: "Mr. Du just took over the case of the female corpse in Qingyi River in April last year, and I want to ask you something about it."

"You are Mr. Du. I heard about you last year, and I heard about you a while ago, saying that you are amazing." Shopkeeper Ma saluted and invited them to sit down in the empty private room with a smile. He came in with a box of jade bracelets in his arms. , "The bracelet worn by the female corpse last year is just like this. Take a look, isn't it hard to tell?"

"This table used to be bought for 350 yuan each, but it has increased a little in the past few years, and it costs [-] yuan each." The shopkeeper Ma said: "During the Chinese New Year, we have to go out seven or eight times a day. We really don't remember who bought the small things."

"Besides, this bracelet has been sold outside Song Ji for nearly ten years, so I dare not speak big words. At least five out of ten women in the capital have this bracelet."

Du Jiuyan picked up the jade bracelet and looked at it. The jade looked better than the one left by the deceased, as if it had been soaked in potion.At this price, the buyer must at least look good.

"Does anyone from other places come to buy it?" Du Jiuyan asked, "Does Song Ji still have semicolons in other places?"

Shopkeeper Ma replied: "There are two semicolons, both of which have this bracelet."

It seems that it really came for nothing, Du Jiuyan smiled and said, "Thank you for bothering you."

"Don't dare, Mr. Du, if you still have something to do, please send someone to tell you. No matter what time it is, the villain will definitely cooperate with you." Shopkeeper Ma said.

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands in thanks and left Song Ji.

"It's approaching noon, but the chief catcher has time. Let's have a light meal together." Du Jiuyan looked around, "Choose a quiet place, and we'll discuss the case while eating."

Shan Butou said: "Then I will be disrespectful."

He took Du Jiuyan along two alleys with eleven people, and entered through the back door of a restaurant.There is a private room in the backyard, which is very spacious and the table is big enough.

Everyone sat down, served tea and ordered food. After the young man went out, Shan Butou said: "Mr. Du has walked all the way, have you gained anything?"

"Not yet. So I'm going to ask Shan Butou to help arrange a job in the afternoon, and we will go to the autopsy together." Du Jiuyan said, "Is it convenient?"

Shan Dequan responded, saying: "It's convenient, I'll go back and call for you after dinner."

Du Jiuyan thanked him.

"Sir, do we only need to check the boats coming and going on the river?" Xiao Jin asked, "If we don't check, we really have too few clues."

Du Jiuyan said: "No need, one is that it cannot be found, but it is not necessary."

Everyone was immediately dejected.

Shan Dequan looked at the young faces and could understand their feelings. He had met them many times over the years.

It's not that they don't check, but sometimes, they are really powerless.

"Cheer up." Du Jiuyan tapped the cup with the lid, making a crisp sound, and said with a smile: "It's not like we've been walking all morning without gaining anything."

Everyone looked at her expectantly, because at the same scene, they found nothing while walking, but Du Jiuyan could see many things.

"First of all, the woman did not throw her body from the passenger ship while walking." Du Jiuyan said.

Everyone was puzzled, where can this be confirmed, Shan Dequan was also curious, and asked: "How can you see it?"

"After the inspection in the morning, I came to a few conclusions. I will say it now, and everyone will listen to it."

Fu Yuanwu took out a pen and paper and was in a hurry.

Shan Dequan looked at Du Jiuyan seriously and listened to her analysis.

"Just now Zhang Shan said that when he caught the deceased, the hands and feet of the deceased were not entangled in the fishing net." Du Jiuyan looked at Shan Dequan, "Is that so?"

Shan Dequan nodded with certainty, "Yes, when I arrived, the woman was covered by a fishing net and was not entangled."

"What does this mean?" Du Jiuyan looked at the ten people, glanced over, and Yan Tong was a little uncertain: "Does it mean that she didn't struggle in the water?"

A living person who falls into a fishing net struggles whether he can swim or not.

But the dead did not.

After Yan Tong finished speaking, everyone showed surprise, which they didn't expect.

"When we left just now, I saw Zhang Shan's fishing net with a large mesh, but the woman was not entangled at all. This only shows that the woman fainted when she entered the water." Du Jiuyan was very pleased. Definitely authentic.

Dan Dequan pursed his lips, quietly waiting for Du Jiuyan to continue.

"Downstream of the Qingyi River is a wharf, and the place where the fishing nets fell, if the boat is not rampaging on the river, then it should be a boat coming out of the wharf."

When sailing on the water, one should also pay attention to the direction of coming and going, otherwise the river would be in a mess, with big boats and small boats colliding with each other.

"If it's a passenger ship, there is still a section of water to go, so why didn't he take people to a deeper place and throw them away. Obviously, throwing them in the canal is much safer than throwing them in the Qingyi River."

"But the other party didn't, so what does that mean?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"It means that they don't have a waterway to go. When they lost it, they were flustered. They walked a part of the way and lost the woman." Shan Dequan answered quickly.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, Shan Dequan was a little embarrassed, stroked his beard and said nothing.

"Yes!" Du Jiuyan said: "That's why I came to this conclusion. The woman should be from the capital, or in other words, she lived in the capital during this time."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Secondly, there is one more thing." Du Jiuyan looked at Shan Dequan, "If a woman is pregnant, she must ask a doctor for consultation. Have you checked the medical clinics and the barefoot doctors?"

Shan Dequan nodded, "I forgot to tell you, I checked, but none of the doctors knew this woman."

"That's three possibilities. One is that the deceased couldn't afford to hire a doctor and wanted to save some money. But according to the description in the dossier, the deceased's skin was tender and fleshy, with a charming appearance, a good figure, and no calluses on his hands. He didn't look like a poor family. woman."

"Then there is another possibility." Du Jiuyan said: "The woman came from Huajie and Liuxiang. This type of woman matches her characteristics."

Shan Dequan said again: "I've checked, no one knows this woman who is a prostitute in brothels, big or small."

Du Jiuyan took a look at Shan Dequan.This single headhunter is really interesting. At the beginning, he didn't know if he didn't check this one, but when she started talking now, he would think of one at a time, and then another at a time.

There are really many omissions, not only not mentioned, but also not recorded in the file.

Shan Dequan was very embarrassed. He never thought that Du Jiuyan would be so powerful... So he really didn't bother to talk about these clues at first.

They are all useless clues. If they are not really capable people, it is useless to talk about them.

"That's the third possibility," Du Jiuyan said, "use your brain to think about it, and think about eating an extra piece of meat later."

Everyone laughed, Fu Yuanwu raised his hand and said, "The clue, could it be a concubine from some big mansion, girl?"

The elder sisters who serve and take care of the people in the palace are all from the palace. They are really good-looking and delicate, and their gestures are better than some ladies in Shaoyang.

"It's very contradictory to be pregnant but no one claims it. So Fu Yuanwu's guess is very reliable." Du Jiuyan said.

I heard that the princes and young masters of the noble families don't need to take the imperial examinations to avoid getting famous, so behind closed doors, there can be a lot of girls in the house.

Some of them added several concubines to the house after they got married.

The former, when the young master got married, he was afraid that his wife would dislike him, so he casually dismissed or sold him, or even beat him to death.

The latter, maybe it is the result of the women in the back house fighting openly and covertly for the favor, making you live and die.

"It makes sense," Shan Dequan found out. After Du Jiuyan's analysis, this case, which was impossible to start with, suddenly became clear and had a direction.

It was so exciting for him.

"Does Mr. Du have any other clues?" Shan Dequan asked impatiently.

Everyone looked at Shan Dequan in surprise, and Zou Kaixuan said, "Captain Shan, you...are in a hurry."

"Indeed, hehe..." Shan Dequan said: "Mr. Du is really amazing, he can notice and take into consideration every detail and clues, and someone Shan admires it."

Everyone laughed and looked at Du Jiuyan eagerly.

"It's gone," Du Jiuyan said, "If I continue talking, I will become a god."

Everyone laughed.

"I'll help you," Shan Dequan said, "I'll help you find out about this concubine, and that's what we should do."

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you very much."

Shan Dequan waved his hand and said: "No, I'm very honored." Then he said: "After dinner, we will go to the autopsy."

He is now looking forward to what clues Du Jiuyan will find on the bones after the autopsy.

When the food was served, everyone chatted and ate, and the atmosphere was obviously much lighter than in the morning.

After dinner, Shan Dequan went back to the yamen to look for Zuo Zuo. Qi Daiqing happened to come out and saw him and asked, "Du Jiuyan, is there anything to gain?"

"Yes! My lord, this Mr. Du is very amazing. No wonder the outside world says she is amazing. Today I have learned something." Shan Dequan said: "Just that little clue, she has not seen it in person, but she analyzed it clearly and logically. Makes sense."

"I can't accept it."

Qi Daiqing smiled and said: "That's for sure, she is the president of the Southwest Litigation Firm. She has argued more than 20 large and small cases in Shaoyang a year."

"I heard that in Shaoyang, as soon as she goes to the court, there are huge crowds of people outside the yamen, and the people walk dozens of miles in the morning just to hear her defense."

Shan Dequan had never seen such a scene before, and said with a smile, "My lord, I'll go to Lao Diao and have an autopsy this afternoon."

"Go," Qi Daiqing said.

Shan De all went.

Qi Daiqing thought about it and went to Dali Temple.
