Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 34 17th Century Reasoning

"Do you have acquaintances in Qiwei Escort?" Xiao Zishan asked immediately.

"Exactly." Sun Chang said calmly, "His family's treasurer and bodyguards are all small fellows from the same village." It turns out that this Qiwei Bodyguard Bureau is from Jiangxi from top to bottom, and the bodyguards it travels are limited to Guangzhou To Nanchang, Jiangxi.Many of the bodyguards in the bodyguard agency are also brothers from the same school as Sun Chang's former martial arts practitioners.

Xiao Zishan didn't dare to make his own decision on whether to invite the escort agency to intervene, after all, the matter involved was of great importance, after hesitating for a moment, he just discussed it later, and told him to close the front and back doors first and be cautious.

The executive committee here got the news and hurriedly held an emergency meeting-someone dared to kidnap the time-travelers!It is unbearable.They all wanted to give them a good look—in addition to finding Ran Yao, the former JCSS, they also mobilized a few reasoning enthusiasts who were full of Conan Doyle and Christie, and Xi Yazhou simply put the few things he had hidden away. A five-shot shotgun was launched, and some people suggested whether to make some grenades for the "natives to try", and some people were planning to make acid bombs.While the crowd was raging, Ma Qianju stood up and said:

"You can't go to so many people."

"Why?!" Wang Gongzheng was furious, and when he saw someone objecting, he immediately questioned him.

"Going like this is to add to the chaos, not to help." Ma Qianju said, "That is Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty. We are not familiar with it at all. What's the use of going to so many people? I don't even have a map, so I will tell you that Wen Zongguan is in Where, can you find it?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if no one had thought of this question.

"The matter of the Ming Dynasty still needs to be resolved by the people of the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, this matter requires information. As long as you know the whereabouts of President Wen, you can deal with it in any way, whether it is rescue by force or ransom with money, it is not a problem. With so many people rushing past, Zishan and Wang Gong will not be easy to explain to the collaborators over there."

"Redemption? Thank you for thinking of it." Some people here were already aggrieved, "Don't do the idiot thing!" These words caused a buzzing echo.Although the people who travel through are full of mouths: "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients," "The ancients are also very powerful", etc., in fact, they are full of the superiority of modern people in their hearts-"civilized modern people" are facing "ignorant and backward ancient people". "Compromise, just thinking about it will seriously hurt their hearts.

"If it can be resolved quickly and safely, compromise might not be a good idea." Ma Qianju insisted on his opinion, "A rescue by force, on the one hand, there is no intelligence, and on the other hand, it may pose a threat to Mr. Wen's personal safety. Finally, " He reminded everyone, "Our goal is not to fight fiercely with the underworld of the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing that everyone's mood has stabilized a bit, Ma Qianju continued, "We're going to prepare with both hands. Ran Yao still wants to go and check the situation at the scene. I believe his knowledge of criminal investigation is sufficient. This is not a secret room murder." cases, those who engage in reasoning don’t have to go.”

Several reasoning enthusiasts made weak protests.

"In case it needs to be solved by force, there is already Bei Wei over there. I suggest that the sports team send two more people to assist him. If there are too many people, it will be difficult to use it."

Lin Shenhe squeezed over and said, "I'll go too. Bring me that small-caliber rifle from Emei. I played with a sniper rifle in the United States, and it basically never missed a shot within 500 meters."

"Okay, you go too."

"Just these people." Seeing that there were still people eager to try, Ma Qianju stopped him with a wave of his hand, and said to Wang Gong: "You and Zishan said that we should try our best to use the power of Ming people, and don't be too superstitious about force."

"it is good."

The discussion here has stopped, and everyone is busy packing their equipment.Ran Yao brought his camera and criminal investigation record book. Originally, he had fingerprint collection tools, but it was useless—Da Ming had no fingerprint files to check.The sports group brought three five-shot shotguns, but they didn't have enough ammunition, and there was no time to reload new ammunition.Each was equipped with only ten rounds of ammunition.In addition, I brought some reconnaissance equipment: night vision goggles, wireless beacons, bugs will not be available for a while, but recording pens, microphones and cameras can still be obtained.As for walkie-talkies, smoke tubes, tear gas bombs, and gas masks, there are two large backpacks for miscellaneous things that are useful or not.

Following Xiao Zishan and Sun Chang, Ran Yao inspected Mr. Wen's room and the entire courtyard, and drew a few more pictures.In less than a few hours, Sun Chang had several more Australians in the yard, and he was even more surprised than knowing that Master Wen had been kidnapped.Seeing that this new Australian didn't say anything, he just wandered around the house and the yard, climbing the ladder for a while, looking at a small glass mirror on the ground, and holding a pen-like thing in his hand from time to time. Scribbled on the notebook, thinking that this must be the Australian policeman——I just wondered how the Australian policeman came so quickly.

After spending more than an hour of investigation, Ran Yao has roughly understood the whole process of committing the crime.

"This is a joint crime committed by multiple people." He introduced the situation to the murderous rescue team in the room. The large square table in the room was erected to temporarily serve as a blackboard, and the black lacquered rosewood tabletop was poisoned by lime pancakes.

"This is the route for criminals to come in." He drew a floor plan of the courtyard on the table, "The courtyard wall here is very high, about 7-8 meters, and it is impossible to enter with a ladder. It should be a kind of flying. Claws, there are obvious scratches of the buckle on the top of the wall, and a lot of tiles have fallen off."

"There is such a thing as flying claws?"

"Yes, I have read some information. There were still cases of theft using such tools as late as the 50s."

"After the criminal came in, he first smoked the servants in the outer courtyard, and then came in and smoked our four comrades one by one. The direction was from east to west. After waiting outside for a while, he calmly searched each room. .

"Then they broke the padlock of the room at the crossing point and tried to pry open the fence. There were at least three or four marks of prying with iron tools on the fence. The traces of wear and tear were probably crude knives or other similar long strips of iron. products.

"In the end, they took away Mr. Wen who was in a coma, and the route was to open the door to the backyard and go out.

"Although the traces are not obvious enough, judging from the footprints extracted from the mud in the yard and the scratches on the wall, there are at least three sets of footprints of different sizes, and there is another set of footprints outside the courtyard wall, so it is inferred that there are at least four people. Criminals The height ranges from 1.55 meters to 1.60 meters. They carry special wall-climbing tools, weapons and stun drugs, and they should be professional criminals.

"There is a rather strange phenomenon, that is, one of the four sets of footprints extracted is barefoot. Although it is a common phenomenon for the ancients to walk barefoot, this is Guangzhou City, not a small remote county, which can be used as a breakthrough for reconnaissance .”

"Are you referring to those social groups who are used to going barefoot?"

"Yes, at least it means that there are people who are used to going barefoot among the criminals. This is unlikely to be a special hobby of a certain person, but it should be a habit shared by a certain social group."

"Who could that be?" Everyone was suspicious.

"I'm not a historian." Ran Yao said helplessly.In fact, there is no difficulty in putting this case in modern times. The traces left by this group of people are almost the same as wearing no pants under modern criminal investigation technology.It's a pity that this is Daming in the 17th century. There is no fingerprint file or criminal record file to check, and he knows nothing about the social conditions of this ancient city.The usual case-handling methods are also useless.

Everyone was a little disappointed. They thought that as soon as professional criminal investigators came out, this kind of rogue would immediately show its prototype.It does not appear to be the case at all.Modern criminal investigation largely relies on intelligence data and files accumulated over a long period of time.

"Is there anything else that can be seen? For example, the motive." Xiao Zishan continued to ask, "Is it a premeditated plan or a temporary idea?"

"It's a premeditated scheme. From the perspective of restoring the entire crime process: the criminals have a very clear understanding of the courtyard. There are more than 20 rooms, large and small, and only the houses where people live in it. I didn't find any holes.

"The reason why you use Mixiang is obviously because you know that you have a strong defensive ability. Otherwise, it would really not be so easy to get it - Mr. Wen is a person who always wears anti-wolf spray.

"Besides, when Bei Wei introduced the situation, he also said that you encountered someone sneaking in a few days ago. This should be a step-by-step operation by criminals.

"As for the motive, it's more difficult to understand." Ran Yao rubbed his chin, "From the list of stolen items, it is obvious that he came for property, but just kidnapping President Wen seems to be a purposeful kidnapping."

"Do they know Mr. Wen's identity as an Australian maritime merchant?"

"I think I know it for sure." Ran Yao pointed to the stolen list, "This group of people is not only interested in silver, but also your so-called Australian goods--they didn't take a lot of Ming Dynasty's treasures, but instead took your shoes, Socks, rollerballs, little modern things. Obviously prepared."

"what do you mean?"

"This matter is not as simple as theft or kidnapping." Ran Yao shook his head, "I don't think the kidnapping of President Wen may be for the purpose of extortion."

After discussing in low voices for a while, everyone agreed to use the power of the Ming Dynasty people to find out the news.Xiao Zishan then called Sun Chang: "Call the shopkeeper of Qiwei Escort Bureau."
