Dutch Bing finally came. When he saw him, he nodded and sat down to review the official documents.

Situ Ce held a tu bone in his hand and said, "Brother Furong, do you know this case?"

He Lanbing glanced at him and said, "I know, what's wrong?"

"I think this case can still be investigated."

Speaking of the case, Helanbing's tone was not so cold, and said, "We have investigated all the people in that family have investigated, but no clues have been found." "Did you find out when did the body die?"

"No, how to check the bones? How many years can it take to turn into bones, decades, or hundreds of years. Is it not clear if people in our dynasty know, maybe it is the ancient corpse of the Yuan Dynasty or even the Song Dynasty?"

"Haha, it's not that long. Just look at the skull. The skull is still relatively hard and has not had a serious erosion. According to the bones I have seen, it is definitely not more than fifty years!" "That's long enough. For fifty years, the murderer may be dead." "Even if he dies, he should check it out and give the deceased a fairness." He Lanbing sat upright: "You're right, how are you going to investigate?"

Situ Ce said: "I looked at the case file and found the corpse, a plant grew out next to the body of the deceased. Its stems passed through the corpse, and the painter also drew the situation. The stem was not in the box, so I wonder where it went?"

"It's not a weapon to throw it away, so why should I keep it?" "But this stem can be used to detect the time of death of the deceased!"

"Is that true?" He Lanbing was a little surprised.

"Well!" Situ Ce nodded, "Any plant has a growth cycle. Since this stem has passed through the body of the deceased, it can be explained that after the deceased is buried underground, it rots into bones. The stem grows out and passes through the body of the deceased. We only need to find out the growth pattern of the rhizomes of this plant and see how long it takes to grow so long. Then, plus the time when the corpse is buried in the ground and rots into bones, we can roughly calculate when the deceased was the earliest time.

It's dead." He Lanbing said embarrassedly: "But we have thrown away that stem, it's been two years since." "It's okay, there are drawings. I read the picture in the file and painted it very carefully, even the branches and leaves of the plants. I remember that many plants are medicinal materials, maybe the medicinal materials master knows what it is. Otherwise, let's go to the expert in the medicinal shop to see what kind of plant it is." "This idea is good. Let's go to the medicinal materials merchant, and they may know.

After saying that, the two of them took which file, left the yamen and came to the largest pharmacy shop in the city. The shopkeeper recognized them and quickly came out. Helanbing explained his purpose. The shopkeeper only knew how to do business, but he didn't recognize medicinal materials. After watching for a long time, he didn't know what it was, so he asked the guy to call the master in charge of medicinal materials to help. After seeing it, the master said, "This is turmeric. It belongs to the liver, heart, and lung meridians. It can transform qi and distinguish, clear the heart and relieve depression, and improve gallbladder. There are several types of turmeric, which is produced in the southern part of our province..." Helanbing smiled and said, "I'm not asking you what medicine this is and what medicinal value it has, but asking if you know how many years it takes for this thing to grow so long?"

The medicinal material master said embarrassedly: "I don't know this, I know what medicinal material it is. As for how to plant medicinal materials, I don't understand. The two masters can ask medicinal farmers, and they may know." Since the Tang and Song dynasties, as the demand for medicinal materials is increasing, wild medicinal materials alone cannot meet the needs, so people began to plant medicinal materials since then. By the Ming Dynasty, the cultivation of medicinal materials had already been on the scale. Outside Zhenhai County, many medicinal farmers plant medicinal materials to make a living.

After hearing this, the two hurriedly asked which one is the most authoritative. The shopkeeper often deals with these medicinal farmers, so they knew that they had introduced several for them. After Situ Ce thanked him, he returned to the yamen to prepare the horses, rode outside the city, and found the medicinal farmers introduced by the shopkeeper.

After seeing this medicine farmer, he smiled and said, "This is Wen Yujin. We don't produce it, mainly in Ruian in the south. You really ask the right people. I have grown medicine in Ruian before, so I recognize it. This thing has been at least ten years! It's so old that I'm already in a very old way!"

“Can you infer the exact year?”

"Hehe, if I saw it with my own eyes, I might be able to see it, but this is drawn, and I can't check it. I can only judge from the conditions of the rhizomes and leaves for more than ten years." Helanbing and Situ Ce did not give up and looked at two more medicinal farmers. One had never planted it before, and the other had seen it, and the judgment was more than ten years, but it was impossible to say it accurately.

Back in the study of the yamen, Helanbing asked Situ Ce what to do. Situ Ce said: "This turbid is grown next to the corpse, which means its growth cycle should be roughly the same as the death time of the deceased. Now we can at least be sure that this turbid is more than ten years, and the corpse will be ossed here for about two years, so it will be twelve years in total. Let's look for missing people who have been missing in the twelve years, first find the source of the corpse, and then follow the vines."

Helanbing nodded and said, "That's right, we have asked before that this is an old house. It has been more than fifty or sixty years before it is demolished and rebuilt. Can it be carried out around the old house?"

"Yes! If this area was a residence before, the owner of the residence had the best chance of committing the crime.

It is also a key suspect. Of course, he was the owner twelve years ago. The possibility of xn after that is not big, so he can not be included in the suspect first."

"Okay! I'll take someone to visit and investigate immediately. "Helanbing left, and Situ Ce had nothing to do. After practicing calligraphy for a while, it was noon.

Because home is close to you, you still have to go home for dinner. You don’t have to take a sedan and take a bus. You can walk back slowly. It’s time to have at most two or three cups of tea.

As soon as Situ Ce left the back door of the inner house, someone shouted: "Brother! Are you back?"

Situ Ce turned his head and saw that it was Diao Peng, the manager of the East Factory. He was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing here?"

Xi Peng greeted him with an old horse face full of smiles and bowed, "I'm here to wait for my elder brother."

"Oh? Is it innocent?"

"It's okay. My elder brother has been there for more than a month and hasn't seen him for a long time. I miss him very much, so I want to talk to him. My elder brother hasn't eaten yet, right? Let's go, how about eating fish in our riverside fish farm?"

The Dongchang Ying Group has been abolished, and Diao Peng and Situ Ce’s superiors and subordinates have disappeared, so Diao Peng still calls him his elder brother. He knew that this capable man might need it again, and he couldn’t just cram the Buddha’s feet without burning incense. Diao Peng would not do that kind of thing. So after learning that Situ Ce was back, he came to curry favor with him.

However, Situ Ce didn't want to get along with their East Factory, and shook his head and said, "Sorry, I have something to do today."

"So, then tomorrow, what about tomorrow?"

"Let's talk about it then." Situ Ce bowed and walked slowly.

When I got home, as soon as I entered the door, the doorman bowed to report: "Master, the uncle of the Jinyiwei is here! I'm waiting in the front hall."

Situ Ce thought, why did they make an appointment? Let’s find yourself together.

Situ Ce stepped into the front hall, and Zhong Bingzhi was talking to Long Xiang. When he saw him coming in, he quickly got up.

Long Xiang almost died after being injured by a sword. He was about to be raising him for more than a month. He could walk slowly. Today, he came to visit Situ Ce. Seeing him covering his mouth with a painful face, Situ Ce hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Long, your injury is so serious, why are you here too?

Alas, I've been busy during this period and I've been to the capital again. I don't have time to visit you, so please forgive me!"

Long Xiang hurriedly bowed and said, "Where is there, the real person is polite. Alas, I almost died and escaped by chance. I came to visit my brother. "Only Duan Ping discovered that Situ Ce's detection method is an advanced technology, and it was because he had seen Meng Tianchu use it, and others did not know it, including Long Xiang and Zhong Bingzhi. Therefore, in their eyes, Situ Ce was still a brilliant Taoist with profound Taoism. So he still called him the real person.

After Situ Ce sat down, he said, "If you have anything to do, just send someone to call me. Why do you have to come here in person? Moreover, Lord Long's body is still seriously injured and has not healed. It makes me even more uneasy."

The two of them said they didn't dare. Zhong Bing said straight: "Last time, Lord Xiao Hengxiao was killed, the leader came to investigate. Thanks to the real person's help, he explained the incident and saved us from prosecution. I was very moved. I came today and I came to thank him. Mr. Yang Jun and Yang were busy with official business and did not come. I specially entrusted me to express my gratitude for him. Haha."

After saying that, Zhong Bingzhi pointed to the big boxes in the corner of the wall: "These are some thoughts. This is a gift list, so please accept it with a smile." After saying that, he handed Situ Ce a gift list with a big red cover.

Situ Ce took it and opened it, and it was written with gold, silver, jewelry, silk, silk, satin, etc., which seemed to be expensive. He smiled faintly and said, "You are polite, I'm just a simple task, so there's no need for that."

"It should be," Zhong Bingzhi smiled, opened a brocade box on the coffee table, pushed down Situ Ce, and said, "This is a little bit of what Lord Yang Jun and Yang give to the real person."

Situ Ce took a look and was startled. There was a flintlock gun inside!

The flintlock spear seemed to appear in the late Ming Dynasty, so why did it appear at this time? Situ Ce was a little strange and looked at Zhong Bingzhi.
