Chapter 28: Who is the bluebottle
"That's right." Shen Mo nodded.
"Is there any more?" County Magistrate Lu continued to ask thoughtfully.
"Also, on the way back to the county government, the villain had some speculations about the whereabouts of the criminal..."
"What?"
After County Magistrate Lu understood this sentence, he stood up from the chair!
This is the most troublesome thing about County Magistrate Lu now!
Although they have determined the candidates for two criminals Zhang Liuer and Meng Xiaoyi, these two people have been absconding for several days.
In other words, it doesn’t matter whether they analyze the case clearly or not. As long as Qiantang County can find the whereabouts of these two people and arrest them. So how did the case be done, are you still worried that you can’t be questioned?
What's more, after the criminal is arrested, it is easy to seize the stolen goods. In the Song Dynasty, as long as the stolen goods are captured, the case will be successfully solved!
Unexpectedly, Shen Mo actually said that he had his own ideas about the whereabouts of the criminal, which really made County Magistrate Lu very happy!
"It seems that Shen Mo is really a genius who solves cases! It's hard for him to be so meticulous at such a young age..." County Magistrate Lu thought in surprise and signaled Shen Mo to say down quickly.
"I think so," Shen Mo continued: "The treasures brought by Hu Shang are really wrapped in a lot of boxes and cages. Those things can be said to be heavy and cumbersome."
"If these criminals want to fly far away after committing the crime, they will inevitably show their travels when they run away with these bulk items."
Speaking of this, Shen Mo turned around and pointed to the Qiantang County map hanging on the wall of the second hall and said:
"If you don't want to say anything else, just take out their paintings and graphics at the water gates of several dry roads in Lin'an for investigation. I just asked if anyone walked by with a large number of cages on the next day of Qingming Festival. Can you still not find out where these criminals are going?"
"Yes!" After hearing this, County Magistrate Lu felt eager to try it, and felt that Shen Mo's method seemed to be very feasible!
"The criminals also know that as long as they show their paths along the way and we follow the path they walk, they may catch up with them." Seeing that County Magistrate Lu was thinking a little bit, he quickly spoke back and found a supplement.
"So, they did not run away overnight!" County Magistrate Lu finally understood this time: "They will not flee in a hurry, but will choose a safe place to hide nearby. They will only escape after the wind passes!"
"Sir!" Shen Mo felt relieved. He finally explained it to Lord Lu this time.
"You mean, the criminal is in Lin'an City now?" County Magistrate Lu's eyes widened!
He knew that Shen Mo's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and should be not far from the facts. His surprise now was not only for Shen Mo's analysis, but also secretly surprised by the boldness of these criminals.
"It's not in the city, but also in the suburbs," Shen Mo nodded.
"If this is the case, how can we find them?" After hearing this, County Magistrate Lu couldn't help but frown slightly again.
"In such a huge Lin'an City, hundreds of thousands of families and two or three million people, can we let the public in Qiantang County search one by one?"
"Of course not! How can the best place be at the foot of the emperor? "Shen Mo immediately gave up the idea of County Magistrate Lu.
County Magistrate Lu repeatedly thought about how to catch these criminals. He saw him paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. After walking for a few trips, his brows became tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, County Magistrate Lu looked up inadvertently.
At this moment, he saw that there was a clear light in his eyes and was looking at him with a smile. County Magistrate Lu then called out secretly: "This kid!"
"Did you have long been confident and have a way to catch these criminals?" County Magistrate Lu suddenly realized: This ready-made talent is right in front of him, and he still needs to think about this matter with such painstaking efforts?
"Of course there is no confidence," Shen Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "But there are still many things that have not been figured out in this case. If the adults can trust me..."
"It's trustworthy!" County Magistrate Lu didn't even think about it this time and immediately expressed his trust in Shen Mo.
"In that case, the lord will just leave me the authority to allocate yamen runners, interrogate prisoners, inspect evidence, and examine corpses."
"When my subordinates figure out the past and after the case, the criminals will naturally surface, and it will not be far from catching the thief and raising the stolen goods!"
"Of course, I can leave it all to you!" County Magistrate Lu immediately agreed: "But, this case is as anxious as sparks..."
"I understand," Shen Mo said in a deep voice: "Lin'an Prefecture gives us the fifteen-day deadline for Qiantang County, and four days have passed. But please don't worry!"
"I understand that this case is bizarre and weird, and it will definitely shock the capital. The adults were ordered by the peak to solve the case within a specified period. This incident is certainly a crisis for the adults, but with the intention of the subordinates, this may not be a great opportunity!"
"What do you mean..." County Magistrate Lu's heart immediately moved when he heard this!
"If the case cannot be solved, the adults will inevitably be held accountable by Lin'an Prefecture. But what if this matter is to be said the opposite?" Shen Mo said slowly:
"If sir, if you raise your hands, you will solve this strange case as if you are raising your hands. Think about it, your name must have been fascinated by the capital at that time, and it is unknown even if you are going to the heavens!"
County Magistrate Lu was immediately excited when he said this! Shen Mo was right at all!
If such a case is broken by yourself, your future career will definitely be smooth sailing!
"What you said is true, but..." At this time, County Magistrate Lu only felt his throat dry. He seemed to be seeing Sijin's future and the abyss in front of him. This step would be either a fairyland or a hell!
"So, my subordinates are responsible for pursuing clues, and my subordinates are responsible for being confident. My subordinates only focus on investigating cases conscientiously, and you just need to hold on to the demeanor of a famous scholar!"
Shen Mo smiled and said steadily: "Before the fifteenth day deadline arrives, I will definitely give you one... everyone and the stolen goods are all taken away!"
"Okay!" County Magistrate Lu slapped the armrest of the chair suddenly, his eyes shone with his eyes, and he looked at Shen Mo opposite him.
Although what Shen Mo said only drew a big cake for him in the air, the strong confidence and calmness shown by this little constable inevitably infected the emotions of County Magistrate Lu.
Now that he stretched his head, he was also a knife. County Magistrate Lu made plans at that time and bet on this big price!
These days, he just handed over the case to Shen Mo. All he had to do was to show the style of a famous minister and act as a slight attitude.
As long as the case is really solved, then Lu Yue's reputation as "a peerless and unsuspecting in the face of changes" will be completely launched in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty!
"I'll leave the case to you!" County Magistrate Lu patted Shen Mo's shoulder heavily.
"Fly attached to the horse's tail and went to a thousand miles," Shen Mo said with a smile: "Sir, I will be promoted soon. At that time, my subordinates will continue to serve you!"
County Magistrate Lu laughed, but his expression was full of confidence.
Seeing that it was getting late and they said it thoroughly, Shen Mo got up and said goodbye.
After Shen Mo left, County Magistrate Lu looked at the direction of Shen Mo leaving and stood in the hall without saying a word for a long time.
He sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect that this small Qiantang County would be hidden! I had such a talent under my command, but I knew nothing!
Shen Mo is very capable and doesn't say it, and his attitude is also respectful and respectful. Sometimes, even though you know that what he says is not all the truth, you will feel happy after listening to it.
"Shen Mo, Shen Mo!" Lu Yue thought to herself: "Whether I live in a corner or realize my life's ambitions in the future...it depends on you!"
