"I've never seen a wooden stick, but I saw a dagger when Wang Qi went to the county office to pick it up." Wu Ruijiang squeezed out a sneer on his cold face. "So what if I've seen a dagger? Is it possible that I've seen a knife? Then

If you kill someone with a knife, does it have something to do with me and become something personal to me?"

The people who were watching burst into laughter because of this sentence. If the county magistrate dared to agree, he would be regarded as a cowardly official.

The county magistrate did not answer, but still asked, "Then have you ever borrowed Wang Qi's dagger?"

"It's not like I don't have a knife myself, why would I borrow Wang Qi's knife?"

"Then have you ever touched these two things?"

"Never."

"You really haven't touched these two things?"

"really."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

Wu Ruijiang only felt that it was annoying for the county magistrate to confirm again and again. Could it be that he wanted to ask more questions to observe the changes in his expression?

Don’t even think about it!

The goal was achieved, and Magistrate Guan finally showed a relieved smile.

His smile was neither ferocious nor charming, but it attracted the eyes of people in the hall who didn't know the truth to focus on him.

The laughter made Wu Ruijiang feel uneasy, and also scared some Dumin villagers to feel uneasy. They always felt that everything in the hall today was weird and different from what they imagined.

Lieutenant Ge Xian, Wei Xian Cheng and others who knew the truth secretly curled their lips.

Chen Yuan understood that the three adults couldn't help but roll their eyes, but if you disturb someone who pretends to be cool, you will be struck by lightning. The happier the county magistrate feels, the better for her future, so Chen Yuan silently followed the adults to watch over the magistrate and tease Wu Ruijiang.

Guan Zhixian shook his head and slicked his beard, and asked in a high-spirited manner but pretending to be confused, "Then I don't understand. You have never touched these two weapons. Why are your personal belongings on these two weapons?"

"

"Oh, sir, I really can't tell that these two murder weapons have anything personal to me." Wu Ruijiang, who was originally worried, felt relieved now. He didn't know what stupid trick the dog official who was biased towards Dongchang came up with to coax him.

It's impossible for him to recognize that he's been fooled.

"Perhaps the villain's eyesight is not as good as that of the adults. I really can't tell that there is something personal to me on it." Wu Ruijiang turned around, his firm eyes that were not afraid of life and death, but now he was sneering, looking at Tang with longing.

Foreigners.

"I think there are so many people here, there should be some with good eyesight, especially there are so many villagers in Dumin Village. They know me and my belongings very well. Why don't you take these two murder weapons to them and look for them. I

I also want to know what I am up there." His confident words were full of helplessness and desolation.

Guan Zhixian nodded, "Okay, let's show it to everyone, but you can only look at it, not touch it."

Wu Ruijiang, "..."

Is this stupid official crazy? Do you really think he can cover up the sky with one hand? Why don’t you have to rely on those geldings in Dongchang for your reputation?

Zeng Shuisheng stepped forward and walked out of the hall holding the tray flat.

Everyone leaned forward and stretched their necks to look into his hands.

No one would touch it. The ancients were most taboo about evil things. Things that had killed people were very unlucky. How could they touch them randomly?

"Isn't this just a knife and a wooden stick for playing in the boudoir, nothing else."

"I wonder what my lord is up to."

"No, look at what's on the knife and stick."

"what?"

More people poked their heads in, and even Wu Ruijiang was so frightened by the roar that he turned around and stared at the items on the tray.

Just now he saw that except for knives and wooden sticks, there were no familiar personal belongings on the tray, so he felt relaxed and did not look too carefully at what else was on the murder weapon.

But Zeng Shuisheng's back was turned to him, so he couldn't see anything. Feeling uneasy, he could only lower his head to comfort himself and avoid being noticed by others.

"Isn't it just blood? No, there is also white powder. That powder looks like..."

"like what?"

"Like fingerprints."

"Yeah, why are there fingerprints?"

"It's normal to have fingerprints. There is blood on the knife. The hand holding the knife left fingerprints."

"But why is there white powder on the fingerprints?"

Wu Ruijiang, who was originally calm, began to panic in his heart. He was not an empty-headed person. He understood the purpose of the fingerprints on the contract documents and files, and a bad suspicion came to his mind.

"The eyes of the saints and the masses are sharp. This county is very happy. The people under the rule also have a pair of discerning eyes and will not be deceived by people who tell lies." The county magistrate who had been wronged did not complain about himself, but praised the people.

Fan, I praised him so much that everyone was embarrassed and confused.

However, the county magistrate immediately clarified their doubts, "The white fingerprints you see on the murder weapon are the fingerprint revealing powder invented by Li Fei, the newly recruited gangster of the county government."

When he said this, the two government officials stepped forward and began to demonstrate along with his explanation.

"Anything that has been handled or touched by people can be sprinkled with revealing powder to make the fingerprints invisible to the naked eye show their shape."

One of the yamen servants pressed on the copper pot and then moved his hand away. The other yamen servant sprinkled white powder... and then a white fingerprint appeared on the copper pot where it had just been touched.

"Then use ice paper as thin as cicada wings and as transparent as thin ice to extract the visible fingerprints, and then compare them with the murderer's fingerprints."

The yamen who worked with Chen Yuan to develop fingerprint extraction tools had long ago learned from her how to extract fingerprints. He took out the "transparent glue" made by Chen Yuan using small intestine, peach gum, glutinous rice and other materials to remove the white fingerprints on the copper pot.

Extracted.

Then it was pasted on black cardboard.

The extracted white fingerprints on a black background were raised up so that the onlookers could see clearly.

The government official who had just pressed his fingerprints on the copper pot used the same finger to press the blue ink pad, printed it on the paper, stood it up, and handed it to the people for circulation.

Guanzhi County Road said, "You can compare it and see if the fingerprints extracted on the instrument are the same as the fingerprints printed on the paper."

Hearing this, the remaining luck in Wu Ruijiang's heart also dissipated. The long-planned plan to eliminate rape was unexpectedly solved so easily.

He roared in despair after being hit hard, and his straight spine went limp without being hit. He knew that it was over, everything was over.

Surprisingly, someone actually invented a method to extract fingerprints!

By the way, the county magistrate said who invented it?

The newly recruited widower Li...Li Fei!

Wu Ruijiang turned his head in astonishment and looked at the little girl who had been standing silently and without any presence behind the Yamen servant.

A little person he never valued, a skinny deaf-mute girl who nearly died of exhaustion several times during her exile. After arriving in the village, he saw her running to his house for help with bruises all over her body from being beaten. Those innocent eyes

Her eyes were full of desire and she was looking for help.

What was he thinking at that time?

Even if he takes on the title of village chief, does he have to intervene in the affairs of the Li family?

What he wants to do is punish rape and eliminate evil, which is a major issue in the world.

What does a little girl's injustice have to do with him?

Whether she lives or dies depends on her personal destiny. Even if she dies, she will be powerless.

Helping her will not help him in his important matter, but will increase his risk of exposure.
