Great Lawyer

Chapter 378
Everyone looked at her, the little girl was very embarrassed, blushing and said: "When he was smiling, I glanced at him, he, he had a mole on the back of his ear."

A fat man with a mole behind his ear and a loud voice.

Being able to talk and laugh happily at the scene at that time, mocking the deceased, it can be seen that he was determined in his heart that after the arrest came, he could not find any clues.

"Then after the head catcher came, did this person leave, or did he leave before the head catcher came?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The little girl replied: "Shan Butou came over from the small road, he took a look, and then walked away from our village."

"Sir, is it possible that this person knows Butou Shan?" Duan Ying asked.

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Ninety-nine is not far from ten!" Turning around, he took his booklet and charcoal pencil from Fu Yuanwu, and said to the little girl, "Excuse me, get me a stool."

The little girl didn't know what she was going to do, so she hurriedly dragged a bamboo chair for her.

Du Jiuyan sat down and looked at Ma's mother and daughter, "You recall his appearance, and say what comes to mind."

Ma Shi and her daughter looked at each other, Ma Shi said: "I don't remember anything else, but I remember that person's nose, it was a big fat one, and the bridge of the nose was not too high."

"The chin is square, and the mouth is wide when you smile. There is a pit on the face, just... just here..." She pointed to her cheek, "It's like the puddle on the road."

Du Jiuyan didn't look at the two of them, she kept sketching with her hands, and finally she sketched out the clothes. She still lacked a pair of eyes. She paused for a while, and the little girl leaned over to look at them, blushing and thinking, "His eyes... The eyes seem to be nothing special, just the eyes of ordinary people."

"What are ordinary people's eyes?" Du Jiuyan asked him, "We are one person, who do you think are ordinary people's eyes?"

The little girl looked at the ten people Du Jiuyan brought one by one, and pointed to Duan Ying, "His eyes are the eyes of ordinary people, neither big nor small, nor very bright, but they are very ordinary anyway."

Duan Ying didn't know whether he should be happy that he had contributed, or unhappy that his eyes were so uncharacteristic.

Du Jiuyan added eyes, and turned to show the mother and daughter.

"Ears," the little girl pointed to her ears, "Zhou Feng Er!"

Du Jiuyan changed it again.

"The figure is fatter than this one, without beard." Ma Shi said.

Du Jiuyan revised it twice more, and Ma nodded, "That's right, it's exactly the same as that person at that time."

The little girl also nodded.

"Okay!" Du Jiuyan put away the booklet, looked at Ma's mother and daughter, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you both, thank you!"

Mrs. Ma shook her head, "That's a murderer. It's a great thing that we can help the Yamen catch the murderer. Don't thank us, sir."

Du Jiuyan said a few polite words and said goodbye to Ma and her daughter.

The little girl said to Ma Shi with a look of surprise: "Mother, Mr. Du is really amazing, she can draw it after we say it."

"Students are all great." Mrs. Ma looked at her daughter, "In the future, no matter what, I will send your brother to study."

The little girl nodded.

"Sir, let me take a look at the portrait you painted." On the way, Xiao Jin took the booklet and exclaimed, "This painting is really lifelike."

"Sir, your skill is amazing, can you teach us?"

Du Jiuyan said: "Okay, after the case is over, I will teach you how to draw."

"Thank you sir." Everyone hugged the painting, even Yan Tong was eager to try.

It is really their blessing to learn useful things from a good gentleman.

"Sir, what are we going to do now?" Fu Yuanwu asked, "Are you looking for Shan Dequan?"

Shan Dequan was summoned by Dali Temple, and Du Jiuyan knew about it yesterday.She doesn't care. It would be really strange if Wu Wenjun didn't make things difficult for her.

"Go to Song Ji." Du Jiuyan said.

The group returned to the city, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they met Dou Rongxing who came to look for him, "Ninth brother, it's not good."

Du Jiuyan frowned and asked, "Did Shen Daoru find out the murderer?"

"Yes!" Dou Rongxing said: "Just now, he and Shan Dequan went to arrest people together."

Everyone's faces were extremely ugly, and no one wanted to lose this competition, but Shen Daoru and the others were too fast.

Today is only the third day, and the competition is coming to an end.

"Don't care about them, let's check ours." Du Jiuyan went to Song Ji, and the shopkeeper who received her the day before yesterday greeted her personally, clasped his hands and said, "Mr. Du, what orders do you have?"

Just as Du Jiuyan was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone outside the door laughing and saying, "That's right here, there are a lot of jewelry here."

"My lord." The shopkeeper and Du Jiuyan waved their hands, and they walked to the door, "Why are you so free today?"

Du Jiuyan turned his head and saw King Gui who was entering the door. His eyes also fell on her, his brows were slightly raised, and he smiled happily.Standing beside King Gui was a man with a handsome appearance and gentle temperament, and his smile gave off a kind feeling like a spring breeze.

The shopkeeper called him the son of the world, so this person should be Ji Lin of Chengde Hou.

It seems that the relationship is not bad, but yes, the empress dowager's first choice, Princess Gui, is Ji Lin's younger sister.

"Shopkeeper Dou, I'm bringing my friends to buy jewelry, and I'm going to hurry up with your good things."

Shopkeeper Dou responded, and said, "Two distinguished guests, please go upstairs." As they were about to leave, Du Jiuyan suddenly took the initiative to greet King Gui, "Young Master Zhao, come to buy jewelry."

Du Jiuyan came to do business, King Gui wasn't sure if she wanted to talk to him here, but when she heard her take the initiative to speak, he smiled and said, "Are you here to investigate the case?"

"Yeah, it just happened to happen." Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

Ji Lin and Shopkeeper Dou stopped to look at them. Ji Lin looked at Du Jiuyan and asked, "Mo Xi, this is..."

"Du Jiuyan, the president of the Southwest Litigation Firm." After the introduction, King Gui said to Du Jiuyan, "Jilin, the son of the Marquis of Chengde."

Ji Lin looked surprised, "You are Du Jiuyan from Southwest, I didn't expect you to be so young, I have admired you for a long time!"

"Hello, son." Du Jiuyan bowed his hands.

Ji Lin said enthusiastically: "We've all heard about the bet between you and Southwest. How about it, are you here today to investigate the case?"

"That's right." Du Jiuyan said, "The bracelet on the deceased's hand came from here. I still have a few more questions, and I want to ask shopkeeper Dou to confirm."

With his original expression on his face, Ji Lin hurriedly said to shopkeeper Dou enthusiastically: "Mr. Du's matter is a big one, you should greet Mr. Du first, Mr. Zhao and I will be fine as we please."

Shopkeeper Dou should be, and said to Du Jiu: "Mr. Du, do you want to go to the private room at the back, or..."

"It's okay, I just have one question." Du Jiuyan didn't avoid suspicion, and said with a smile: "The bracelets you sell here are not registered when you sell them one by one. But if there are customers, how much do you buy at one time?"

"Is it registered?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Shopkeeper Dou said: "Not at all. But those who buy a lot are regular customers or foreign traders who buy here outside."

"The merchants are registered, and there are only a few old customers who buy a lot, we all remember." Shopkeeper Dou said.

Du Jiuyan waited for him to continue.

"Well, wait a moment, I'll get you the guy who sells bracelets, you can ask him." Shopkeeper Dou said, "He must be clearer than me."

Du Jiuyan nodded.

Shopkeeper Dou went to find someone.

"Sure enough, your reputation is well-deserved," Ji Lin said with an admiring expression, "Mr. Du, how is your case progressing? Shen Daoru in the Southwest is not simple. It is said that he has been arguing for his whole life and has never lost a single case."

Du Jiuyan smiled and said: "This is the temporary progress. Mr. Shen is a senior, so he dare not stand shoulder to shoulder."

"You're still young, so it's okay even if you lose him once. Just look at it." Ji Lin said, and then said: "Speaking of which, there are a lot of people who bought this bracelet. If you just check it out, can you find it out?"

Du Jiuyan said: "If you can't find out, you have to bite the bullet. It's really a case with too few clues."

"I've heard about it too." After Ji Lin finished speaking, shopkeeper Dou came with a clerk, "Mr. Du, he is the clerk at the bracelet side, let him tell you."

Du Jiuyan looked at the boy and asked the same question.

"As far as I can remember, I bought a lot at one time, and they are all regular customers who come here often."

"If you see someone, you must recognize them?" Du Jiuyan said.

The guy nodded, "I must know him."

Du Jiuyan showed the portrait to the assistant, "Do you know this person?"

The clerk took it curiously, and Ji Lin and shopkeeper Dou also came over to have a look.

"Yes, he is an old customer of mine, but he hasn't been here since last year." After thinking for a while, "His surname is Lu, and I heard his brother call him Third Brother Lu."

Du Jiuyan asked: "He bought bracelets from you? Do you remember how many he bought?"

"Actually, I bought it once. That time he bought eleven bracelets, and he stood on the counter and asked to give him eleven bracelets. He also negotiated the price with me, and I gave him ten cents less each."

"After that time, he came back twice, but instead of buying bracelets, he bought hairpins and so on. He never came again after that."

"We were still thinking at the time, he didn't look like a businessman. Why did he buy one bracelet at a time? How could his wife have so many hands. It must have been given to an outside mistress." The man said, a little embarrassed, scratching his head hair.

"Thank you!" Du Jiuyan thanked.

The little guy smiled shyly, saluted and went to work.

"Master Zhao, my son, I have asked all the questions I should have asked, so I'm leaving now. You two continue shopping." Du Jiuyan cupped his hands.

King Gui knew that Du Jiuyan should have a solid idea in his heart, he said: "You go first, I will go back to find you later."

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"I'll go too later." Ji Lin said.

Du Jiuyan and the two of them smiled, and led everyone out to Song Ji.

"Sir," everyone was faintly excited. After all, the murderer seemed to be at hand after being confirmed by the assistant, "Let's let the Yamen arrest people."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Go to Shan Dequan first."
