A deputy captain didn't understand the reason for doing this and smiled: "Zheyi, the deceased Zhishui was locked in a prison. If she wanted to kill her, she had to go to the prison, but no outsiders were found to invade? If the people in the prison were poisoned, wouldn't we just need to investigate the prison people?"

Xiao Jiading said: "Of course we have to conduct investigations around the prison people, including the possibility of outsiders sneaking in. This is one aspect. What I ask you to investigate is the periphery. If we find that a certain enemy of Zhishui disappeared that day, or have some kind of hatred with Zhishui, it has reached the point where we must kill her with our own hands and then quickly, then this person is our focus of investigation. If he has something to do with someone in the prison, then will our scope of investigation be clear? This is called internal and external attacks."

The headmaster suddenly realized and kept saying that he was brilliant.

Xiao Jiading asked the captain to go to the evidence room to take the paper extracted from the vomit. The paper was already dry. Xiao Jiading carefully observed it and did not have any special directional characteristics. He handed the paper to Captain Dai and said, "Please take this piece of paper to the calligraphy and painting hall in the city and let them identify the type and source of the paper."

Captain Dai agreed and took the paper carefully and put it on.

Next, the captains began to act. Xiao Jiading went to report to Tang Lin.

Tang Lin also felt that the case was a bit tricky and asked Xiao Jiading what the next direction of investigation was? Xiao Jiading had already thought about it and said: "Expand the scope of the investigation, first investigate the people in the entire prison and those who entered the prison that afternoon. At the same time, investigate Zhishui's relatives and social relations to find out if anyone might have the motivation to poison her, and this motivation is too great to wait for her to be executed."

Tang Lin did not evaluate the direction of Xiao Jiading's investigation, because he had no better way, so he nodded: "You can follow your ideas. I have only one requirement, that is, I must solve the case! - I have reported this case to the Prince of Shu this morning. He agreed with my decision to hand over the case to you. He was very shocked by the drug murder case that occurred in the prison of the State Government. If even the prison of the State Government could not guarantee safety, then what else is safe? Prince Li is very concerned about this case, so you must do everything possible to solve the case! This is a rare opportunity for you to leave a deep impression on Prince Li."

Xiao Jiading smiled bitterly: "I will definitely do my best, but our Shaocheng County does not have enough staff. To carry out such a large-scale peripheral survey, staff is the key."

Tang Lin thought for a while and said, "The people from the prefecture government office cannot participate. Let's do this. I will draw some constables from Wenjiang County to help you conduct the investigation."

"good."

The ancient service was naturally not as fast as modern times. The constables selected by Wenjiang County in the neighboring country only arrived at the prefecture government office the next afternoon to report to Xiao Jiading. The team was led by the head of Liu from the county.

The reason why Xiao Jiading did not ask Captain Dai and others to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the prisoners was because Shaocheng County was in Yizhou City. The constables in Shaocheng County often had contacts with people from the prefecture government office, and many of them had close relationships. He was worried that some of them were indifferent and did not conduct in-depth investigations and even those who committed favoritism and fraud, so he asked them to conduct peripheral investigations, and the constables in Wenjiang County came to investigate the prisoners in the prefecture government office office prison. They had to get less contact, and this kind of worry was relatively smaller.

Xiao Jiading himself was not idle either. He focused his energy on investigating whether there were any light skill masters who had infiltrated in the prison. He learned the skills of being high from Huiyi in Emei Mountain. Although it was just a little bit of a fur, he already knew the basics. He knew what the most possible way would be for a light skill master to sneak in.

However, after conducting detailed investigations of these channels, no clues were found left by flying eaves and walls. He was not discouraged. He expanded the scope to the entire prison, including all roofs and walls. But to his disappointment, he still found nothing.

He didn't believe that someone could enter the prison like Xue Wuhen. If there was such a person, he could just kill Zhishui and do it directly. Why should he put such ordinary poison as arsenic on it so hard?

From this point of view, it was not a martial arts master who invaded and poisoned him.

Captain Liu, who is responsible for the investigation of internal prison personnel, is very serious about doing things. Everyone is cross-examination, that is to say, everyone must go through at least two different constables to ensure that there is no missed problem and avoid any favoritism and fraud, which makes the investigation progress very slow. By the time all the procedures are completed, the Yizhou Poetry Conference is about to be held.

After Xiao Jiading learned that the investigations on both the periphery and internal areas were almost in progress, he summoned Captain Liu, Captain Dai and several deputy captains to meet to discuss the case.

Captain Liu introduced the entire investigation process and results, because the death row prison area is the most heavily guarded place, and there are special prisoners responsible for the responsibility. Except for the prison guards in this district, the rest of the people who want to enter must be approved by the prison and issued a token. They are handed over to the doorkeeper for a look. There are only three prisoners from other prison areas entering the area within two days. The purpose is to send items to the death row prisoners. After verification, they all completed the formal entry procedures and held a low-key card. At the same time, the prisoners in charge of the death row prison area were accompanied by the prisoners in charge of the death row prison area. After repeated inspections, they had never contacted Zhishui, nor had they been to Zhishui's cell. In addition, no one entered the death row prison area.

Xiao Jiading was very disappointed and muttered: "Is the death row area of ​​this state government office so strictly managed?"

Captain Liu smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a little strange. I've been here before and I've been escorting the prisoners, but it wasn't so strict at that time. But after I asked the prison, I found out what happened. Three days ago, Zhong Facao from the prefecture government office had personally inspected the death row prison area. He was very dissatisfied with the management of the death row prison area and scolded the prison. Therefore, the prison immediately rectified the death row prison area, scolded all the prisoners, and formulated a strict management system. Therefore, the management in those days was very strict. I didn't expect that something happened under such strict management."

If someone else enters the inspection, Xiao Jiading would not pay attention. After all, Fa Cao is responsible for the comprehensive criminal trial of the entire yamen, including prisons. It is normal for him to come to the prison to inspect. However, it was Zhong Fa Cao. Xiao Jiading had evidence that Liu Xiangzheng confessed to bribing him, proving that this person was a corrupt official. In addition, his son had a holiday with him. Although he seemed not to mind this on the surface, Xiao Jiading could feel that this person was actually in a grudge against him. So he heard that he had been to the prison inspection three days ago, and he couldn't help but pay attention and asked, "Did he go alone?"

Xiao Jiading felt a little stupid when he asked this question. Zhong Facao was also a seventh-rank official and the official in charge of the prison. He wanted to inspect the prison, so how could he just wander around by himself like visiting his family? He must have to show off his own tricks.

Sure enough, Head Liu said, "This should not be true? Who followed me and didn't ask, but in theory, the judicial officer and deputy Sishu of the criminal room should be accompanied by such inspections. In addition, the chief clerk in the yamen who is responsible for official documents must also go to record the matters. This is an important incident in the yamen, and it is necessary to record the work of an official as an official. In addition, the number of followers should not be small."

Xiao Jiading himself would not think that someone like Zhong Facao would poison the old nun Zhishui. Besides, when he went down to inspect, he was surrounded by people, and with so many eyes, he would probably not have the chance to poison him. Even his accompanying officials and entourage would not have the chance to poison him, and it was not a place to eat, and there was no place to poison him. He could not force the old nun Zhishui to feed him in front of so many people, right?

However, according to the requirements of the investigation, all people within the scope of the investigation must be checked one by one, so the investigation is meaningful. Therefore, Xiao Jiading still said routinely: "You should find an opportunity to ask these participants in an appropriate way and investigate. See if there are any problems. You must pay attention to the methods and don't make these Shangguan unhappy."

"Okay!" Captain Liu smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Jiading turned his attention to Captain Dai.

Captain Dai smiled awkwardly and said, "We have been investigating outside these days. We have also gone to Mount Emei again and told the new leader, Master Huiyi. We have conducted a detailed investigation, mainly investigating Zhishui's enemies. After investigation, people who suspected of having a grudge with Zhishui did not go down the mountain when the crime occurred, and they did not know the people in the jail of the prefecture government. Then we investigated those who had a grudge against Zhishui in the Jianghu and found that although Zhishui was vicious, he was still very kind on the outside, especially when walking in the Jianghu, he almost

There was no grudge with anyone, nor did there be any deep grudges. The only few people who had a small holiday did not appear in the Yizhou area. In this way, we began to investigate his relatives and relatives again. We found her family before she became a monk. Her parents had all died, and another sister had also married another place and was not in Jiannan Road. His husband had already died due to an accident and his parents had also died. Her only relative in Yizhou was her son named Wu Liangde, who opened a silk shop in Yizhou City."

Xiao Jiading immediately remembered that when she was escorting Zhishui back to the yamen and preparing to send him to prison, Zhishui once told Xiao Jiading that she had a son named Wu Liangde who opened a silk shop in Yizhou and asked herself not to tell her son about her. She wanted to leave the world quietly alone.
