The system always wants to send me to the heroine

"Two women take turns looking after him."

I held my forehead with my hand, called the yamen runner over, and gave him some instructions.

"Go, ask the jailer who the child is closest to, who can comfort the child when he cries, and who is the most obedient. Also, send people to their homes to ask the villagers who gave birth to a child in the past year. It would be best if you could call the midwife to identify her on the spot. This case will be closed then."

The bailiff's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and it took him a while to reply.

"Yes, my lord."

After he went out, he kept scratching his head, as if he was very confused about my change.

"Your Excellency is wise, and truly a man of natural intelligence... uh, a wise but seemingly foolish person, a late bloomer. This has really opened my eyes, and I admire you."

I rolled my eyes at the copywriter and told him to do his job.

This is just the normal process of solving cases and trying cases. Is it necessary to be praised for this?

Also, can this be considered a compliment?

You are stupid, your whole family is stupid, huh!

"Brother Li really isn't as incompetent as others say. I have firmly believed in him since the beginning!"

Xiao Yunyun jumped to my side and said with a smile.

Wow, the little loli heroine is so healing.

My unhappy mood instantly improved a lot, and I quickly touched the good girl Yunyun's head.

"It's just that, no matter how powerful Brother Li is, there is still something missing!"

Xiao Yunyun came up to me, stretched out a finger, and said mysteriously.

"Hey, what am I missing?"

"I!"

Xiao Yunyun straightened her chest and patted herself.

Well, okay, the heroine is still a little loli, so just be responsible for being cute.

"Little Yunyun, be good. Go and let Uncle Zhang Long play with you. I still have case files to look at."

I patted her little head again to coax her.

"What? I mean, what you lack is someone who can truly assist you, not someone like Master Diao, who will only assist you on the surface but use you for his own selfish interests to gain benefits for himself!"

"You mean, I should still hire a mentor?"

I finally understood. I didn't expect that although the little heroine was young, she could see everything clearly and knew that Master Diao was using me.

"Right? As the saying goes, listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, while only believing in one side will lead to ignorance. Even Mr. Bao, who is known as the Justice, has Mr. Gongsun as his assistant, right?"

I nodded. I didn't expect that the little heroine could convince me with just a few words.

"Well, that makes sense, but I wonder where I should go to find such a person?"

I murmured, even if I wanted to follow the example of Emperor Liu and visit the thatched cottage three times to invite a great sage, who in Qiyun County has such talent and virtue?

"So, you need me, you need me!"

"Hey, you?"

"OK."

Xiao Yunyun put her hands on her hips proudly and met my incredulous eyes.

I always feel that she is so confident, even though she is just a loli.

If I had said this before, I would have thought she was just joking, but it is not the case. Although the heroine is still a little loli, she might really have extraordinary experience.

Yeah, no wonder Long Aotian wanted to snatch her from me as soon as we met. It doesn’t make sense at all.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of drums outside the hall.

"Does anyone want to seek justice? Quick, let's go to court!"

I shouted quickly and put on the big official hat hastily.

"Xiao Yunyun, you come too, stand beside me and be good, don't move around or run around!"

Since you are interested, why not give it a try? Maybe the heroine really has the talent.

I have no talent, but she may be different.

Wow, maybe I can really cultivate a talent for the court. By then, I will be the heroine's benefactor, and her favorability will naturally come to me!

Well, although it is against the law to bring a loli to the lobby, I have done so many more illegal things, so who cares about these little things?

After thinking it over carefully, I took Xiao Yunyun's hand and went straight to the lobby.

"mighty!!!"

Unlike the listless calls of the past, today's yamen runners shouted unusually hard.

I nodded secretly. This morning, I saw Wang Chao and Ma Han scolding the yamen runners. It seems that it is quite effective.

"Bring the drummer to the classroom!"

I shouted loudly.

Early this morning, I posted a notice in front of the yamen, stating frankly that I would rectify the atmosphere in the county government, correct past mistakes, and encourage people to file complaints. No matter whether the case is big or small, all will be tried impartially and without charging a penny.

Although I don't think it will have much effect, after all, I was really terrible before.

But I didn’t expect that in less than half a day, someone actually filed a complaint.

This is a good change, right?

Chapter 14: Newly Married Murder Case

I never imagined that on only the second day since I took office and my second trial, I would have to face a vicious murder case.

The woman, Ms. Li, who came to report the case, cried bitterly and recounted the details of the case in fragments.

Her husband, Zhou Yong, had married a new concubine the day before and entered the bridal chamber happily. However, on the next morning, they were both found dead in bed.

The scene was extremely horrific. Both of them had their necks cut by sharp blades. When they were found, Zhou Yong's head was even rolling on the ground. The scene was covered in blood.

At this point, the woman, Ms. Li, could no longer bear it and cried so hard that she fainted on the spot. Her emotions were genuine and there was no falsehood at all.

I swallowed silently.

It turned out that it was not that the people were willing to believe me once and come to appeal for justice in the hope of getting away with it, but that when such a big thing happened, there was no other way except to report to the authorities.

"Well, the four of you from Dynasty, go with me to the scene, gather your forces to surround the scene, and keep an eye on all the members of the Zhou family. No other civilians are allowed to approach!"

I made the decision quickly.

Qiyun had encountered such a big case, so they did not dare to be careless and soon set out in a grand manner.

I originally wanted to keep little Yunyun here because she was too young and I didn’t want her to see the horrific crime scene at all.

Even I myself don't know if I can bear it, but I have already mustered up my greatest courage and made full mental preparation to face the scene in person.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yunyun was not willing at all. She just said that it was no big deal. She had seen execution grounds before, where hundreds of people were brought to justice together. With just one order, heads rolled down the list.

I had no choice but to ask her to stay with me and not run around.

Well, she is the heroine after all, so it is understandable that her mental quality is stronger than that of ordinary children.

The on-site investigation went smoothly. I thought I would feel unwell and vomit continuously even if I didn't faint on the spot.

But in reality, I just looked a lot paler.

I only felt fear in my heart, and I didn't feel any physical discomfort at all, or maybe I had traveled through several worlds and had already seen such scenes.

The heroine, Xiao Yunyun, is even more amazing. Her face is as rosy as ever, and she is even calmer than me, a time traveler.

"Sir, the coroner's examination results are out. There are no signs of a fight at the scene. Both of them had knife wounds on their necks. The wounds were smooth and there were no signs of a second attack. The preliminary investigation results show that both of them died from a single knife attack. The time of death was probably between late last night and early this morning."

Killed with one blow?

I bit my lip, feeling a little awkward.

The Zhou family made a living from their ancestral tailoring business. They were not wealthy, but they were well-fed and well-clothed. In the mansion, apart from Madam Li, there were only two maids. Among these three people and the deceased, no one was capable of killing two people with just two swings of the knife without any resistance.

What's more, beheading requires strength and technique that ordinary people cannot master.

There is no doubt that this case was committed by a martial artist with martial arts skills. Li, along with the two maids in the mansion, are not suspects.

But where can I find such a person?

After interrogation, it was found that the two maids lived in the side yard and had been busy arranging the wedding and entertaining guests yesterday. Although there was no fanfare, they still managed it well. At the time of the incident, the two were so tired that they had fallen asleep and did not hear any noise.

Li was still unconscious in the county government office.

Then, how to investigate? There are only so many witnesses.

I turned around and faced the group of yamen runners, staring at each other.

This, this scene is different from what I imagined!

There were no so-called clues at the scene, such as shoes dropped by the criminal when he escaped, bloody handprints or footprints left by clumsy hands and feet, or even tokens left behind to show off.

Nothing was found, not even the murder weapon. All that was left to me were two cold bodies.

Wow, so you can’t blame me for being out of ideas, right?

The investigative methods in ancient times were really limited. This was not a confrontation in court like last time, where the criminal only had to choose one of two people by luck to be convicted.

Well, without a direction for handling the case, even the super thinking of the plug-in is useless.

I slowly looked at the little heroine, and I admired her foresight very much.

At a time like this, it is extremely important to have someone to discuss things with. I am not stupid, but what I lack is experience!

"Brother Li, what do you think is the motivation for most people to kill sharks?"

When I looked at Xiao Yunyun, she also looked at me with a smile.

"Well, it's nothing more than seeking wealth, revenge, love, and impulse, unpremeditated sharking."

I answered without thinking.

"Then what do you think, Brother Li, is the reason you want to find this murderer?"

I looked up at Xiao Yunyun and felt a little unbelievable.

Is she, is she trying to enlighten me?

"Well, killing a newlywed couple on their wedding night is too decisive and cruel. It's definitely not for money, and it's even more impossible that it was premeditated. Well, it's probably a murder of passion, but it could also be a murder of revenge."

I quickly answered along the lines of what Xiao Yunyun said.

"In this case, if it's revenge, how do we start investigating? If it's love?"

"If it's a revenge killing, we should interview the people nearby and ask about the Zhou family's reputation and character, and find out whether they have any enemies. If it's a murder of passion, well..."

"If it's a murder of passion, we should start with the deceased bride to see how wealthy she is and whether she had a lover before marriage. Also, we must not let go of the original wife, Mrs. Li, to interrogate and investigate. Don't forget that she may have hired the killer!"

Before I could come up with an idea, Xiao Yunyun quickly answered for me.

The thinking is clear and to the point.

I opened my eyes wide, as if it was the first day I met the loli in front of me.

No, my dear heroine, you are so strong, how about you be the county magistrate?

The little heroine still smiled sweetly, as if nothing had happened, blinking her big eyes.

I quickly held her little hands tightly with both hands, as if I were holding a savior.

"Xiao Yunyun, you, you know how to solve a case?"

Woo woo woo, I was wrong. I will never again dare to look down on you just because of my young age, my lady boss!

Well, if she didn’t have long legs, I would have wanted to hug her.

"Hey, I told you, Brother Li still needs me. Without me, you will never achieve anything great in your life!"

Xiao Yunyun put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest proudly.

Oh, you are the same level as me, there is nothing to be proud of.

Of course, I didn't dare say this. I quickly followed my previous thoughts and ordered Wang Chao and Ma Han to take people to investigate.

The tasks of searching for evidence and finding people to question were originally the responsibility of the head of police. Now that I don't have a head of police, I have to trouble these two to make a trip.
