Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

As soon as he entered the boudoir, Huang Shaojie saw the blood stains on the bed, and he couldn’t help but secretly cursed the flower picker for being such a ruthless beast.

After looking around the room, Xiao Qiuyue asked: “How are you doing? Did you find anything?”

Huang Shaojie shook his head: “Except for the fingerprints of the flower picker on the jewelry box, nothing else was found.”

However, in this ancient world where fingerprints cannot be extracted, finding the fingerprints of criminals is almost useless.

“fingerprint?”

Xiao Qiuyue walked to the jewelry box in surprise and looked around, but did not find any fingerprints.

Huang Shaojie explained: “Anyone who touches something will leave corresponding fingerprints on it, and everyone’s fingerprints are completely different. This is also a clue that can be used to find criminals. However, we cannot use this fingerprint Extract it and save it, and then compare it with others one by one.”

Xiao Qiuyue subconsciously looked at the lines on her palms. Indeed, everyone’s palm lines are slightly different.

But she was very curious, how did a playboy like Huang Shaojie know this?

Even the Jinyi Guard and Criminal Department didn’t know how to investigate cases using fingerprints.

What surprised Xiao Qiuyue even more was that fingerprints were harder to find than footprints. She had just used her inner strength to her eyes, but she still couldn’t find the fingerprints left on the jewelry box.

How could this guy’s eyes be so good?

“Master Xiao, have you found any clues?”

Walking out of the boudoir, Magistrate Lu raised his hands and asked.

Xiao Qiuyue frowned and said: “There is no important discovery. I can only roughly guess his height through the flower picker’s footprints. Other than that, the handwriting and fingerprints left by the prostitute are of little practical use in tracing.”

Magistrate Lu sighed: “Catching this thief based on his approximate height is like looking for a needle in a haystack!”

Xiao Qiuyue said: “Master Lu, don’t worry too much. Our Jinyi Guards will definitely catch this thief as soon as possible.”

Magistrate Lu cupped his hands and said, “Master Lao Xiao and all the royal guards are on duty.”

…

After coming out of the Lu Mansion, Xiao Qiuyue took Huang Shaojie and other captains to the homes of several other victims to investigate the case.

However, no clues were found either.

Returning to the Jinyiwei Yamen, Xiao Qiuyue called Huang Shaojie over and asked him to go to the archives to get a family file of a wealthy businessman and official in Suzhou.

Huang Shaojie took Xiao Qiuyue’s token to the record library to get the family files of wealthy businessmen and officials, and went to Xiao Qiuyue’s room.

“Sir, the family files you requested are here.”

“Yes.” Xiao Qiuyue pointed to a chair and said to Huang Shaojie, “Sit down and check the files with me. If there is a lady in the family who is over fourteen years old and has not left the government, copy down the address of the mansion.”

“Yes, sir.”

Huang Shaojie pulled up a chair and sat down at Xiao Qiuyue’s desk, took a file, and started reading.

After watching for a while, Huang Shaojie couldn’t help but ask:

“Could Mr. Xiao just want to wait and catch this flower-picking thief?”

Xiao Qiuyue was also looking through the files and taking notes, “That’s right. Now we have no clues about this flower picker and there is no way to arrest him. I believe he will continue to commit crimes, as long as we stay outside these ladies’ boudoirs and wait. When the flower-picking thief appears, he can be captured in one fell swoop.”

Huang Shaojie said: “My lord, this method is feasible, but there are at least hundreds of wealthy households and officials in Suzhou City, and there are probably at least a hundred young ladies at home. There are only about fifty people in our nine institutes, how can we do this?” Can you defend it?”

Xiao Qiuyue put down the file in her hand and looked helpless: “I also know this is a stupid method, but this is the only feasible method for us at the moment.”

“In addition, we don’t need to guard every young lady’s boudoir. Flower pickers only pick beautiful girls, so we only need to guard the boudoirs of those girls with good looks.”

“As for manpower, I will ask Niu Qianhu for help later and ask him to send more manpower to help. In addition, we can also recruit dozens of police officers from the county and government offices, so that the manpower will be almost there.”

Among the wealthy businessmen and officials in Suzhou City, there are at least a hundred young ladies who have not yet left the government, but the number of beautiful ladies is estimated to be at most twenty or thirty.

If Niu Qianhu sends another 100 people, the government and county government will transfer dozens of people, plus more than 50 people from the nine schools, there will be a total of more than 200 people.

There are more than two hundred people guarding twenty or thirty young ladies’ boudoirs, so that’s pretty much it.

But the question is, this flower-picking thief is so good at Qinggong, can ordinary guards and detectives catch him?

Thinking of this, Huang Shaojie said to Xiao Qiuyue: “Mr. Xiao Qi, my subordinates have a question. How did the flower picker know which family’s girl was beautiful?”

ancient

Young ladies usually stay in their boudoir all day long. Even if they want to leave the house, they usually sit in a sedan chair, and rarely go out to play in the streets.

Therefore, girls from rich and powerful families rarely appear in public, and few people in the neighborhood know which girl is beautiful and which girl is ugly.

But every time this flower picker commits a crime, he accurately selects beautiful girls. This means that the flower picker must have heard about the beauty of a certain girl from some source, or seen it with his own eyes.

Xiao Qiuyue took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully: “I have also thought about this problem. I believe that the flower picker must have inquired about it a long time ago. This is not difficult.”

Huang Shaojie said: “My subordinates have different opinions.”

“Oh? Tell me.” Xiao Qiuyue put down the tea cup and looked at Huang Shaojie.

Huang Shaojie said: “I think there are two possibilities. One is, as Mr. Xiao said, the flower picker learned which girl is beautiful through inquiring, the other is that the flower picker may have visited the place in person and seen these with his own eyes. The lady’s true appearance.”

Xiao Qiuyue shook her head and said: “These officials and wealthy ladies usually stay in the boudoir’s embroidery room. It is not easy for the flower picker to go and see them, right?”

Huang Shaojie said: “Sir, the flower picker might be able to disguise himself as someone else and enter the house to meet the ladies. Or he could pretend to be a businessman walking around the streets, such as selling some rouge workers or snacks, to attract these ladies to come out and buy things. ”

“Those wealthy ladies will inevitably get a little bored if they stay in their boudoirs all day long. If there are hawkers or snacks outside the house, they will most likely take their maids out to have a look.”

“If the flower picker pretends to be a salesman, he can not only find out which girl is beautiful, but also the terrain around the house and which attic room the girl lives in. This will make it much easier to commit crimes at night.”

Xiao Qiuyue couldn’t help but her eyes lit up, and she stood up and said, “Your speculation is somewhat reasonable. Huang Shaojie, let’s go to the houses of these victims again.”

“Yes, sir.”
