Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 743
While thinking about it, Le Shi said, "No. Hey, my lord, what you said is really true. There seems to be something wrong with that mustache's hands."

At this moment, Di Renjie asked, "What does that mustache look like?"

Leshi recalled for a while and said: "He is very short, less than five feet tall, with high cheekbones, deep-set eye sockets, and looks a bit barbaric."

Di Renjie was secretly startled, and slowly walked up.

Zeng Tai asked: "Miao Huzi didn't mention, where does he want your husband to go to work?"

Le Shi shook his head: "No."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they frowned.

Zeng Tai walked up to Di Renjie and said in a low voice, "Master, this case is very difficult to investigate. It's been a long time, and it's been a few months..."

Di Renjie waved his hand, interrupted his words, turned around and said: "Zeng Tai, Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, the four of us will ask all the family members of the silversmiths separately, especially about all the details of the employer. Do you understand?"

The three replied: "Understood."

Di Renjie ordered: "After the end, go back to the residence and discuss it in detail."

……

It was getting late, and the lights in Di's mansion were turned on one after another.

Candles were shining brightly in the main hall, and several complaints were placed on the table.

Di Renjie paced slowly in the hall, while Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai walked in quickly.

Di Renjie stopped in his tracks and said, "Ah, Yuan Fang, Jing Yang, and Zeng Tai, have you gained anything?"

Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they said in unison: "Let Jingyang talk first!"

Wang Mang nodded: "Okay, let me tell you first, I asked the family members of six silversmiths, all of whom were hired away from their homes for ten taels of silver two months ago, on the night of the third day of September.

The description of the employer's appearance and clothing varies, some say bearded, some say beardless, and some say mustache.

Some said the employer was wearing a crew-neck gown, while others said he was wearing a Hu suit.But there's one thing that's pretty close..."

Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What is it?"

Wang Mang said: "Size. Almost all the sufferers said that the employer is a short man less than five feet."

Di Renjie nodded: "What else?"

Wang Mang said: "The other thing is the hands. I asked them, but they all said they couldn't remember."

Di Renjie nodded, turned around and asked Li Yuanfang, "Yuanfang, what about you?"

Li Yuanfang replied: "I also questioned six sufferers, and they were all hired away by their employers for ten taels of silver on the night of the third day of September.

The description of appearance and clothing is exactly the same as what Jing Yang said, short, but some say he has a mustache, and some say he has a big beard.

When the humble staff asked about the employer's hand, four of the six sufferers couldn't remember clearly, and two still had a little memory. They said that the employer did indeed hang the money bag on his wrist. "

Di Renjie nodded, and looked at Zeng Tai.

At this time, Zeng Tai said: "Teacher, what the students asked is basically the same as what Jing Yang and Yuan Fang said, but they all said that they couldn't remember the employer's hand."

Di Renjie said: "The result of my inquiry is basically the same as the three of you. It seems that one thing is certain."

Wang Mang said: "The 23 missing silversmiths were taken away by the same employer."

Zeng Tai said: "That's right, the students think so too."

Di Renjie smiled and patted the shoulders of the two: "Okay, very good. Through the smoke screen, to get to the essence, this is the essence of the way to solve a case.

What you said is absolutely correct, there is only one employer, and that is the middle-aged man that Leshi mentioned with the money bag on his wrist. "

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, Zeng Tai's eyes lit up and they nodded.

Di Renjie said: "It doesn't matter if he has a big beard or a small beard, and no matter what kind of attire he wears, all of these can be achieved through changing appearances and changing clothes.

However, the most essential thing cannot be concealed, that is, this person is a short man under five feet, and his hands are disabled. "

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai were startled, and said in unison: "Disability!"

Wang Mang smiled: "Remember, Li Leshi once said that the employer hung the money bag on his wrist, then lowered his arm, and put the money bag on the table, and his fingers were not bent from the beginning to the end.

Moreover, he asked Li Yong to open the money bag by himself.

This statement has also been confirmed by several other suffering masters.Brother Yuanfang, Brother Zeng, think about it, would a normal person do this? "

Li Yuanfang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and said: "That's right. A normal person's money bag should be placed in his arms or sleeves. When withdrawing money, he would take out the money bag with his hands, open the mouth of the bag, and take out the gold and silver."

Zeng Tai continued: "Besides, this person's fingers have never been bent, which is even more abnormal. Teacher, you are right, this person's hands must be disabled."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Think about it again, this employer shows up in a different face to every silversmith's house, why?"

Zeng Tai replied: "In order to confuse the public, the investigators have no way to investigate."

"That's right. The purpose of his disguise and change of clothes is to prevent the family members of the silversmiths from recognizing his true face. But why did he do that?"

Zeng Tai was stunned, looking at Li Yuanfang, Li Yuanfang pondered and shook his head slowly.

Then he looked at Wang Mang, and Wang Mang said in a deep voice: "There is only one reason, that is, he never thought of letting these silversmiths come back alive!"

Hearing Wang Mang's explanation, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai were stunned: "What, Jing Yang, you, you mean him, he has long planned to kill these silversmiths!"

Wang Mang said: "Otherwise, why would he take the trouble to change his beard and attire to cover up his true face?"

Li Yuanfang looked at Zeng Tai and nodded, "It makes sense."

Di Renjie nodded: "Jing Yang is right, and when Le Shi described the appearance of his employer, there are a few words that are quite intriguing...

Do you still remember the few words Li Leshi said when I asked Li Leshi what that mustache looked like? "

Li Yuanfang replied: "I remember, she said she was very short, about five feet or less, with high cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and a bit of a barbarian."

Zeng Tai asked puzzledly: "Yes, but what does this mean?"

Di Renjie walked up to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, you said something this afternoon that touched me very much."

Li Yuanfang was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"

Di Renjie laughed and said, "You may not have meant it when you said that, but you just hit the trick in several cases..."

Zeng Tai asked, "My lord, what did Yuan Fang say?"

Di Renjie laughed loudly: "He said that we have been involved with gold and silver in the past two days. Yesterday we searched the Shanjin Bureau, and today there is another case of missing silversmiths."

Di Renjie turned to Li Yuanfang and said, "Yuanfang, do you still remember?"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "I remember, you still said this kind of interesting. But I still don't understand, what exactly did I say?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang again: "Jing Yang, you said that every case was related to gold and silver. Could it be a coincidence?"

Wang Mang nodded.
