Xu Xinnian ran around for the Xu family. The case was too big and no one dared to help. He changed his mind to recover the tax silver. Relying on the Xu family's connections, the Academy's connections, and some money, Xu Xinnian bribed the officials of the capital prefecture to copy the dossier for him.
Xu Xinnian ran around for the Xu family. The case was too big and no one dared to help. He changed his mind to recover the tax silver. He had used the Xu family's original connections, the Academy's connections, and money to bribe the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion to copy the files for him.
In order to check the case file of the missing tax money, Xu Xinnian had used the Xu family's original connections, the Academy's connections, and the money to bribe the officials of the Jingzhao government to copy the case file for him.
Xu Qi 'an detected the problem with the tax money through the transportation route and the weight of the silver, and then told him his reasoning process. First, he found some suspicious points from the distance and weight, and then he carried out a detailed analysis to finally solve the case.
Xu Qi 'an said that if the case file had mentioned that someone was wearing hand guards when escorting the tax money, he would have been able to analyze the truth of the case faster and not have to lose so many brain cells.
Xu Qi 'an first detected the problem with the tax silver through the transportation route and the weight of the silver. Then he told him his reasoning process. However, there was a small interlude in between. He realized that the detail of someone wearing a hand guard during the escort was not mentioned in the file. If there was, he could solve the case faster because his second uncle, this stupid teammate, did not realize that this was a suspicious point worth paying attention to. In the end, Xu Xinnian pointed out that the person surnamed Lu who handed the osmanthus honey to his second uncle was most likely the person who framed his second uncle.
Xu Qi 'an didn't have much confidence in turning the tables in the missing tax money case. He just felt that this was the only way he could think of to save himself. He had to give it a try. It could be considered a dying struggle. After all, he had no access to the three major elements of modern criminal investigation methods: crime scene investigation, surveillance, and autopsy. He could only rely on the case file to restore the crime scene and try to find an opportunity to solve the case from this angle, so his chances were really not high.
Xu Qi 'an had trained his reasoning ability through the tax case. He had solved the case from the details such as the route of transporting the tax money and the weight of the silver. His status in the family seemed to have improved. Xu Xinnian and the other family members' attitude towards him had changed from ordinary to more respectful. This was also part of his growth.
Initially, Xu Qi 'an was unwilling to die like this. He wanted to solve the case and save himself. He knew very well that modern criminal investigation methods were difficult to use in ancient times. He could only rely on files. In the process of reading the file, his heart sank when he saw the confession of the demon, but he still forced himself to get rid of the negative emotions and calm his mind to make deductions.
Xu Qi 'an used his high school chemistry knowledge to extract the metal Na to explain the phenomenon of the silver tax explosion. He first used water to melt the coarse salt. After stirring it, he covered the cup with the raw salt and slowly poured in the salt water. After filtering it, he placed the porcelain cup on the candle and roasted it. He stirred it with a bamboo stick to obtain the crystals of the salt. Then, he had the girl in the yellow dress melt the crystals with the magical equipment given by the supervisor, and then insert the iron wire. He had the girl in the yellow dress control the voltage with the lightning method, and then produce metallic Na by electrolysi. Finally, through the characteristics of metallic Na being lighter than silver and exploding in water, he explained the mystery of the tax silver case and opened up a way for the officials.
Xu Qi 'an used the experience he learned from the police academy in his previous life to solve the tax case.
