Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

The three of them toasted and chatted, but they were all talking about other people's gossip. What embarrassing things happened to this gentleman, what embarrassing things happened to that general, they were having a lot of fun chatting.

After a while, Xiao Zuochen asked Yunyou to bring two case files. One was copied from the Dali Temple to Prince Yun, and the other was copied from Prince Yun to Prince Qing.

"Brother, take a look at this case file."

King Qing didn't know what it was until he opened the long scroll and found out it was a serial murder case.

"The Dali Temple has not solved the case yet. I would like to ask Big Brother to help me find some clues."

Prince Qing glanced at the case file, thought of something, and looked at Prince Yun again.

"Did the emperor allow it?"

"Brother, what are you afraid of? Is it so important whether the emperor allows it or not?"

Prince Qing sighed. That was because his father did not agree to let him see it. Since his sixth brother showed him the file, he must have suggested to his father that he let him participate, but his father did not summon him to the palace. However, there were many things that his father disagreed with, and he did not really care.

"May I see it?"

When Liuli heard them talking about the recent serial murder case, she suddenly became interested. She had played many mystery scripts!

"You want to see it too?"

It was King Qing who spoke. Wouldn’t she be scared seeing these as a girl?

At this time, Prince Qing thought of his own wife, Baili Qing, who had shown fear on her face when she heard about the serial murders. Almost all the housekeepers in the city took Baili Qing as their standard, so Prince Qing naturally thought that women should be afraid when they heard about the murders.

"Of course! Maybe I can be of help."

Prince Yun handed another case file to Liuli. Since she said so, she must be sure of it.

Liuli took the file and opened it with confidence. But the moment she opened it, she was dumbfounded.

In addition to these, each case is accompanied by a drawing that roughly depicts the location and posture of the deceased, as well as the placement of some items involved in the case. Of course, there will also be text descriptions.

but...

"But what's the problem?"

When Xiao Zuochen saw Liuli’s expression, he felt a little...disgusted?

Yes, it was an expression of disgust.

"Ah? No, nothing."

"If you have any questions, just ask."

This case has been delayed for so long. If Liuli can really find any problems, it would definitely be a good thing.

"I just think these cases are so poorly documented..."

"Rudimentary?"

Xiao Zuochen didn't expect Liuli to say that.

“Are all previous cases recorded in this way?”

Xiao Zuochen glanced at King Qing, who shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

"Do you have a more detailed case file? I once saw a case file when I was a child, and the records were not as detailed as they are now. I thought this was a sign of progress by the Dali Temple."

"Well, according to the prince, it is indeed an improvement."

"You can just call me Yun Chen. You are our aide now. If you have any good ideas, you must tell me~"

"Ah, Yun, Yunchen, let me give you a template."

"template?"

Prince Qing and Prince Yun had no idea what Liuli was talking about and looked at her with curiosity.

"It's just a... well, similar to an example, or what you call a model, to modify it according to a fixed pattern, that's probably what it means. Take a pen and paper and I'll write it down and you'll understand."

So, the three of them moved the "battlefield" to Xiao Zuochen's study. Liuli was writing on the paper stroke by stroke.

"Case classification, case number, deceased, time of discovery, fatal injury, location of discovery, time of crime, location of crime, murder weapon, suspect, motive..."

“You actually have to write so much?”

Prince Qing and Prince Yun were also stunned. They didn't expect that a case would be divided into so many points.

"This is just what I can think of. The actual situation may be more complicated than this. But not all cases need to be written this way. For simple cases, the original writing method can be used. This template is suitable for more complicated cases.

Just like the current cases, only the location is written, but we don’t know whether it is the crime scene. Maybe the people in the Dali Temple have already found the crime scene, but there is no mark, which is not conducive to other people’s inspection, so it should be recorded in detail from the beginning. "

The two people on the side nodded. Indeed, if the person who needs to check the file feels unclear, then he will have to go to the Dali Temple to ask the clerk in charge of the case.

"If there is a change of officials and the previous official cannot be found, or if the clerk is a minor official, then the case may be hastily dealt with or someone may take the blame."

Liuli was telling the truth. Even in modern times with advanced technology, mistakes might still occur, not to mention ancient times when force was paramount.

"Then do we need to ask Dali Temple to write another one according to this template?"

"Of course! The more detailed the better. It would be best if you could describe the wound..."

"What's the wound?"

Liuli suddenly stopped talking halfway, and King Qing hurriedly asked. He was very curious about what Liuli could judge based on this.

"I think it would be better for me to go to the Dali Temple in person and ask them in person. I'm afraid they will always miss something I want."

"this..."

Prince Qing looked at his sixth brother and asked him. After all, Liuli was a girl. Just because the two brothers didn't mind, it didn't mean that those old antiques in the Dali Temple didn't mind.

"I can dress up as a man, that will be easier."

Liuli naturally knew what they were hesitating about.

"Okay, change your clothes and I'll go with you personally."

At this moment, Xiao Zuochen felt that Liuli was truly an extraordinary woman, she knew a lot and was considerate.

"I'll go too! Sixth brother wants me to participate in this case, so I'll naturally go with you."

The three of them nodded to each other, agreed on a time, and then prepared to go.
