There is a saying that one force will drop ten meetings.
For Lieder, the current situation is hard to get worse. After only checking a few places, he understood the reasons for the failure of the first seven investigation teams. For him, conventional solutions no longer worked. Fortunately, he didn't have to use conventional methods to solve the problem.
If it were him before he became the lord of Yunyang, most of the time he could only choose to give up on such occasions. But now that he has a new identity, he has the qualifications to return to the gambling table. Yunyang did not have any formal contact with Nanchu before, so for Lide, the various forces in Nanchu are still mainly wooing Lide.
Xiang Ge Ling planned to marry his precious granddaughter to Li De when they first met, and Xiang Zhiqing did not have any friction with Li De. Although Lide encountered many assassinations along the way, it contained a lot of temptations and third-party forces to disrupt the situation. After realizing that he was not easy to deal with, the attitude of that side also obviously restrained a lot.
Although Lide didn't know which faction the opponent belonged to, he gradually figured out the opponent's way.
The other party is not afraid of killing Lide, and is willing to bear the consequences of killing Lide. But unless it was absolutely necessary, the other party obviously didn't want to do this. This shows that the interests behind the bloody coat case are so huge that they can rival a territory, and it also shows that if Lide chooses to take a step back, the other party will probably make corresponding concessions.
So Li De "sleeped" Xiang Zhehua without hesitation, and then went to see Xiang Linglong. It's a pity that Xiang Linglong is either not a peacemaker, or a peacemaker who hides it deeply. He didn't easily believe in Lide's "surrender", but took a more secure approach: to make a fake together with Lide, and to confuse the case .
If Lide accepted their proposal, it would be tantamount to choosing to compromise and start begging on his knees.
But think about it from another angle, how many people want to kneel but there is no such way. The forces behind Xiang Linglong didn't have a good look at the first seven investigation teams, so they killed them all. Only Lide was left because of his relatively hard background, and the other party chose to temporarily reconcile.
It's a pity that Lide has no intention of reconciliation.
The next day, someone from the City Lord's Mansion came to discuss the follow-up matters with Li De. The other party handed some newly released "evidence" to Lide, and said that the carriage was ready, and Lide could take these things back to report.
Lide smiled, opened the file in front of the other party, and found four or five strange places. For example, according to the dossier, Jiang Yuesheng killed 32 members of the other party's family, but according to the previous records, Jiang Yuesheng's family did not have such a good knife, let alone 32 people with ordinary knives, if you cut over any number of people, you will roll the blade.
"Your lord, do you want me to take this document back to my life? Does he think that the IQ of Prince Nanchu is not enough, or does he think that my IQ is not enough?"
The other party had no choice but to go back and create a new piece of evidence. Naturally, the City Lord's Mansion had to spend money to purchase the "murder weapon" that cut down thirty-two people. So for the second time, another batch of new "evidence" was discovered and handed over to Lide.
Lide smiled, opened the file again in front of the other party, and found three or four strange places. For example, according to the dossier, Jiang Yuesheng's handling of the case should have caused a great commotion, but the neighbors around him did not respond at all, which is also very unreasonable. If Jiang Yuesheng came to kill him single-handedly, the people around would definitely not know that it was Jiang Yuesheng, nor who he was going to kill. They would definitely call for help for their own safety, but so far there is no relevant description at all.
"I'll say it again, I don't care what the lord of your family wants to do, but I hope he can do things better. If you can't even fool me, are you still counting on deceiving your lord?"
The other party had no choice but to go back and create another piece of evidence. This time, the neighbors all spoke in unison, saying that Jiang Yuesheng threatened them that day, and they could only shut up obediently because of Jiang Yuesheng's desire.
So the people from the City Lord's Mansion held their breath and came to find Li De, thinking that this time you will definitely not be able to recruit.
Lide smiled, took him to the scene of the crime, lit a fire in public, and began to scorch the ground.
After a while, irregular grease began to appear on the ground.
"The corpse is burned by fire, and the fat seeps into the ground and solidifies in the sand and stones. When it is roasted by fire, the fat in the ground will resurface and stick to the soot formed by the burning to form a specific shape. After killing and burning, the person is dead. , they will not make any struggles, the ground should be a specific outline of the human body. Now most of the shapes on the ground are blurred, indicating that people have experienced painful struggles before death. They were not killed, but burned to death. Yes, understand?"
The visitors of the city lord's mansion were speechless, so they had to go back to report again.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Xiang Linglong frowned and thought for a long time.
He began to have some doubts about Lide's intentions. Many of Lide's doubts were beyond his imagination. Although there is a lack of evidence, if they are brought up in one breath, it will be enough for the Lord's Mansion and the Shizi Mansion to take advantage of them and dismiss him as the lord of Splendid City on the spot.
But Lide didn't do that, and Xiang Linglong couldn't help asking himself what he really wanted.
After much deliberation, Xiang Linglong killed the person who connected with Li De before, asked the chief guard to go there in person, and gave Li De two cans of "good tea" again. This time, the silver bills in each pot of tea were as high as 200,000 gold coins, which meant that Lide had received bribes as high as 500,000 gold coins.
For Xiang Linglong and the forces behind him, it seemed that it was far from hurting his muscles and bones. Xiang Linglong didn't even need to ask for any instructions from above, and he gave it as soon as he asked.
For the sake of these two cans of good tea, Lide gave a little mention to the chief guard:
"I handed in this investigation report. Judging from the results, the prince will definitely not be satisfied. So he will investigate the process of this case more strictly, and may even come here to conduct investigations in person. When the time comes for your city lord Do you dare to kill the prince? If you dare not, you must make sure that the case is leak-proof. At present, it is still far from this goal."
"The people in Sai'an Village pretending to be villagers can even be seen by me, let alone the prince. Have you heard of the prisoner's dilemma? If the prince separates them and interrogates them alone, it is inevitable that some people will not know under great psychological pressure. Choose to betray your companions. Be it them or your son, you know better than me what people at the end of the road can do."
Lide looked at the chief guard who bowed his head and listened to the order, and finally tried to see:
"Tell Xiang Linglong to prepare a complete dossier and confession, and I will personally help him make a fake. Also, pack up, I'm going to see Jiang Yuesheng in prison."
