Chapter 79 Unhappy
Situ Ce put on rubber gloves, took out the silver ingot, placed it on the table, and sat down to observe it for a while. He was not in a hurry to use a fingerprint brush to find the fingerprint, as it might damage other traces on it.
After observing for a moment, he suddenly found that there were light red marks on the bottom of the silver ingot, which seemed to be some handwriting!
He immediately took out a magnifying glass to observe, but he did not see what the handwriting was on it, because the handwriting was too light and could not be distinguished.
Situ Ce took out his digital camera, adjusted it to macro for shooting, and then enlarged it to observe, but he still couldn't see anything.
What to do?
Situ Ce took the silver ingot and observed it repeatedly under the lamp. It was probably the silver was placed on some red thing and stuck it on it. He was thinking about how to get the handwriting on it.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to try using ultraviolet lamps. The basic requirement of ultraviolet fluorescence photography is that the subject can produce fluorescence under the excitation of ultraviolet light, and he hopes that the red traces can meet this requirement.
He took out the laser flashlight, shine it on the silver ingot, put on the medium yellow color filter, and immediately, he found that the trace emitted a dark red fluorescence!
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and carefully identified the handwriting on it, and found that it was the two words "Weizhong" in seal script, and the red traces looked very much like the ink of a seal. Could this be someone's seal?
Weizhong? Who is it?
Situ Ce was confused. He took the seal with a digital camera and then used a fingerprint brush to find the fingerprint on it.
This small silver ingot was naturally full of patterns, complete and clear, but only three were! He prayed that one of them was the murderer. But now there is no way to verify it.
After taking three fingerprints, he felt drunk and drowsy. He looked out the window and started to turn white, but he stayed up all night and hurriedly took the time to sleep for a while. He took off his coat, climbed onto the bed, and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, He Lanbing came in with a folding fan. Seeing that Situ Ce had not yet got up, the door was closed. He was a little surprised. In the past, Situ Ce had already gotten up and handled the case when she came. Why was he going to the yamen today? His door was still closed tightly?
The maid Linglong had already cleaned the yard and was carrying a basin of water and wiping the window frames and corridor railings with a clean veil. Seeing Helanbing standing at Situ Ce’s door, concentrating on what he was thinking. It must be strange why Situ Ce hadn’t gotten up yet, so he walked over and said in a low voice: “Master Helan, Master Situ went out last night. He was busy all night and came back just around dawn. I’m afraid he hasn’t woken up yet!”
Helan Bing folding fan shook and smiled, "Did you go out last night? Why? Got to steal the cow?"
"No, it's from the Jinyiwei, please go!"
The smile on Helanbing's face disappeared, and he frowned: "What did the Jinyiwei ask him to do late at night?"
"I don't know either."
"Who asked?"
"It's a test of Master Long."
"It's him again!" Helan Bing folding fan brushed, "He didn't say anything?"
"I didn't say that last night, Master Long went out for a walk with Master Situ. Master Long waited behind the yamen and said there was something important. But I saw that Master was there, so I didn't say it. Later, Master asked me to come back first. When it was almost dark, Master Long came back too. In the middle of the night, Master Long came back with someone and asked Master to come and say that there was an urgent matter. Master went there, and it was probably about one more time to come back."
He Lanbing said nothing, frowned and shook the folding fan back to the study.
Seeing that He Lanbing looked bad, Linglong tilted her head and thought for a while. After looking at the study, she tiptoed to Situ Ce's door and knocked on the door lightly. There was no movement, and she knocked a few more times before she heard Situ Ce's lazy voice inside: "Who?"
"I! Linglong! It's almost time to go to the yamen! Master Helan is here!"
"Oh!" Hearing Situ Ce's chaotic inside, the door opened with a squeak. Situ Ce's head was poked out, still sleepy: "Why didn't you call me earlier?"
"I think the sir has gotten up." Linglong smiled, pointed to the study room, and said in a low voice: "Master Helan knew that you went with the Jinyiwei last night, so I seemed very unhappy."
Situ Ce rubbed his eyes, nodded, closed the door, and began to wash. Soon, after washing, he stepped into the study and saw He Lanbing burying his head to review the official documents, as if he didn't feel him coming in.
There are no other major cases in the yamen, so they are not busy now. However, in addition to solving cases, the Ming Mingshi Master has more daily work to review various uploaded and issued official documents on criminal names and drafted relevant legal documents for criminal cases. Situ Ce has not learned well, so he can't help even if he wants to help. So he walked to the big cabinet behind and opened the cabinet to see the files that were not solved inside.
For a moment, both of them didn't speak, and the room was quiet. Only the sound of occasionally flipping books could be heard.
This was very different from the previous atmosphere, which made Situ Ce feel very uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he still spoke up and said, "Do you know? The Jinyiwei is in big trouble this time!"
Helanbing still didn't speak.
"A batch of goods ordered by their Tongzhi Lord Wei was robbed in our Zhenhai County. The brother of Tongzhi's concubine, the purchaser of the Wei Mansion and two servants were killed!"
He Lanbing continued to look at the official documents as if he hadn't heard it.
"Mr. Wei has already said that the case will be solved within ten days. If it cannot be solved by then, the thousand households of Jinyiwei, Yang Jun, will be removed from the position of Lord Yang Jun. Yang Qianhu was anxious and forced him. He forced him down and ordered Zhong Bingzhi Baihu and Long Xiang, Zhenhai County, to try to solve the case within ten days, otherwise they will also be removed from their positions. They are already as anxious as an ants on the hot pan..."
"So you sympathize with them? Go and help them solve the case?"
Situ Ce said: "I don't sympathize with them either. Since it is a murder case of robbery, it's good that you can help solve and uphold justice."
"I don't want to hear you say these big words!"
"This is not a big deal. Originally, killing people and robbing goods. No matter who kills them, they rob their goods, it is a violation of the king's law. We cannot sit idly by. Otherwise, what are we doing as a yamen?"
"I didn't want you to help, nor did I say you helped you wrong!" He Lanbing didn't look up and said, "How you are willing to help them is your business, it has nothing to do with me, so don't tell me, just do your own."
This made Situ Ce choke so much that he didn't know how to answer. He sat down embarrassedly, thinking that it was not a good thing, and muttered: "Then why do you ignore people?"
"I am just like this. I can't stand it, so I'll leave!" As he said that, Helanbing put the brush on the pen holder, picked up the folding fan and walked out.
Situ Ce hurriedly stood up and stopped him: "Brother Liuchuan, this is not good. What can I say clearly? Why should I avoid it? The sand pot will not be fed or leaked, and the words will not be said thoroughly."
