Lin Ye also sat down at the table opposite Li Er.
Li Qingshuang brought out two bowls of tea from the kitchen. She had just brewed them and placed them in front of Li Er and her husband.
"Be careful, it's hot!"
After saying this, she went back to the kitchen and continued to work.
Vaguely, steam could be seen coming from the top of the tea bowl, so neither of them was in a hurry to hold the bowl.
"Brother Lin, I heard from your wife that you went to the night watch last night? Why?" Li Er was the first to start a conversation.
"There's no special reason. I just suddenly wanted to change my profession.”Lin Ye replied perfunctorily.
"If you don't sell your vegetables now, the people of Chang 'an City won't be able to eat your high-quality fruits and vegetables.”Li Er said.
Lin Ye said jokingly," They can learn from you and come over to freeload.”
"Haha!" Li Er laughed loudly." If they all come, I'm afraid your beautiful lady will be so busy. I'm afraid your heart will ache."”
" I'll continue to sell the vegetables. There are only two people in my family. I won't be able to finish them no matter what. I can't just let them rot in the ground," Lin Ye said.
"When the time comes, I will hire people to help me sell them. You don't have to worry about this, Brother Li.”
" Yes." Li Er nodded. His eyes suddenly turned and he said,
"Brother Lin, I have a constable friend who investigated a strange murder case yesterday. I think it's very interesting, so I want to let you hear it and see if you have any unique opinions.”
"Oh? Is that so? Tell me about it." Lin Ye said with interest, but he cursed in his heart,
'A friend born out of nothing? Could it be that Li Si was the constable friend he mentioned? However, constables were not as free as he was, coming to other people's houses to freeload food time and time again. Moreover, it was impossible for them to be as generous as him.'
" This is what happened," Li Er began.
"An inn owner in Chang 'an City was killed at night. Now let's assume that the dead inn owner is called Zhang San."
"My friend received a report and came to investigate. The waiter said that three soldiers with knives checked in last night. However, before dawn, the three soldiers checked out.
"My friend naturally felt that these three soldiers were the most suspicious, so he immediately rode his horse to chase after them. As expected, after catching up, he pulled out one of the soldiers 'knives and looked. There was obviously blood on the knife that had not dried yet.”
"My friend immediately arrested the three soldiers."
"Brother Lin, do you think there is anything suspicious about the case my friend is investigating?”
Li Er felt that Lin Ye was a complete outsider. When he looked at problems, he naturally would not consider the so-called political parties or the military's face.
So perhaps Lin Ye could give him a more objective view.
"There are too many suspicious points in this case.”Lin Ye said.
After all, Lin Ye came from the modern world. In that era of information explosion, he had seen and heard of all kinds of strange cases and criminal investigation dramas.
"Brother Lin, do you see anything suspicious?”Li Er asked anxiously.
"To determine whether a person is suspected of committing a crime, there are three main points to look at: the motive for killing, the confession, and the time and conditions of the crime.”Lin Ye replied seriously.
Li Er's pupils suddenly widened.
Lin Ye's words made him feel refreshed!
Motive for murder, confession, time and conditions of the crime!
Lin Ye had actually organized the elements of the investigation so systematically and clearly.
Li Er never thought that he would hear these words from a farmer.
Looking at the current situation, the yamen at all levels did not look at the key points of the crime. They directly decided the case based on the confession obtained through torture.
Lin Ye continued,
"The three soldiers had the time and conditions to commit the crime. After being tortured by the yamen, they should have a confession. Why did the three soldiers want to kill Zhang San, who had no grudge against them?”
This point of view coincided with Li Er's.
He also felt that the three soldiers had no motive to kill the inn owner.
" Besides," Lin Ye continued," if I was the murderer and killed someone, why didn't I wipe the blood off the knife? This case was obviously a framing!”
That's right, why didn't I think of that!
Li Er seemed to have been enlightened and suddenly realized something!
If the soldier had really killed someone, how could he not wipe the blood off the knife!
'This Lin Ye easily pointed out the key points of this case. I really admire him!'
" Brother Li, go back and tell your constable friend," Lin Ye said." We should start with his family first."
"In this case, I think Zhang San's son and wife might be suspects. Either the son killed his father or the wife killed his husband."
"The son's motive for killing his father is naturally money. The wife's motive for killing her father may be money or for her lover."
"Brother Li, I'll stop analyzing this case for you. If you think it's useful and can help your constable friend, just tell him what I said!”
