Humans in All Heavens: Starting with Detective Dee

Xiaonan Village in Pengze County is a beautiful place nestled between mountains and water.

But today, in this beautiful place, a murder has occurred.

This alarmed Di Renjie, who was serving as the county magistrate in the area.

A family's house in the village was surrounded by onlookers, including villagers and officials.

Inside the room, Di Renjie's eagle-like eyes swept over the surroundings.

The bloodstain on the neck of the crying male homeowner on Tuesday was exposed.

A hoe placed in the corner of the wall.

The female homeowner is hanging from the roof beam.

And everything inside the house...

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Di Renjie's face, as if he had already understood what had happened.

He stroked his beard and looked at the person beside him: "Di Chun? What do you think of this matter?"

"Sir, I suspect there's something fishy about this."

Di Chun, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and responded.

"Oh? What's so strange about it?" Di Renjie smiled slightly, gesturing for Di Chun to share his opinion.

Di Chun looked around, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding yamen runners.

The onlookers, the person hanging from the roof beam, and the last victim's husband, Zhou Er.

"Sir, on the surface, the deceased hanged himself."

However, upon closer analysis, the scene was riddled with flaws.

"Oh?" Di Renjie became interested: "So you think the deceased did not commit suicide?"

Who killed him?

Di Chun then replied, "Sir, the victim must have been killed by the murderer, right?"

And I'm pretty sure the killer is either a man or a woman.

Di Renjie: "..."

After joking around with Di Renjie.

Di Chun looked at the deceased's husband, Zhou Er, again: "Zhou Er, you said your wife hanged herself?"

"Yes, I found her hanging herself when I came back from the fields."

After saying that, Tuesday wiped away non-existent tears from the corner of her eye.

"Come with me."

Di Chun gestured, and Tuesday quickly followed.

"Let me teach you how to commit a crime."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present, the onlookers, and the yamen runners were stunned, except for Di Renjie who smiled slightly.

He was clearly very satisfied with Di Chun's reasoning.

"First, if I were you, I would definitely give my wife a new set of clothes after killing her."

Tuesday shuddered: "What did you say?"

Di Chun ignored him and continued, "Because it's obvious that her clothes were just torn, which means that someone must have been fighting with her before."

"Are you kidding me?"

By Tuesday, things had really gotten chaotic.

"Secondly, I will cover up the scars on my neck."

On Tuesday, I subconsciously touched the scar on my neck.

"The torn clothes and the wound on her neck, together, prove that it was you who was fighting with her."

On Tuesday, the muscles in my face twitched involuntarily.

"Third, I will leave the hoe at the door."

You said you returned from the fields to find your wife hanged. Did you then have time to calmly walk into the house and put away your hoe?

I was already sweating profusely on Tuesday.

"Fourth, I would never hang my wife this high after killing her."

As he spoke, Di Chun stepped forward and placed the stool that had fallen to the ground at the feet of Zhou Er's wife.

Everyone was shocked to see that the stool, once placed, was still more than a foot away from Zhou Er's wife's feet.

The situation is already obvious.

Now everyone knows who killed Tuesday's wife.

Di Chun looked at Zhou Er: "So? Do you want me to continue?"

"Stop talking, stop talking, I'll confess, I'll confess, I killed her."

Thinking about his fate, Tuesday collapsed to the ground.

He covered his eyes with his hands and cried incessantly, wailing and howling. This time, he was truly crying.

Unlike before, that was fake crying.

"A moment of reluctance led to this tragedy. Men, seize Zhou Er!"

Seeing that the culprit had been identified by Di Chun, Di Renjie stepped forward and immediately ordered the constables to arrest him.

Several constables immediately stepped forward and seized Zhou Er, then dragged him outside.

At this moment, Di Renjie turned to look at Di Chun, who was standing to the side.

"Di Chun."

"master."

"You're making great progress now."

With your current abilities, becoming a junior official in the Court of Judicial Review wouldn't be a problem.

Hahaha."

As he spoke, Di Renjie laughed three times.

He was clearly very satisfied with Di Chun's performance.

"It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching." Di Chun stepped forward with a simple and honest smile.

Di Renjie stroked his beard as he looked at Di Chun, but then he recalled what had happened two months ago.

At the time, a murder occurred in a village under the jurisdiction of Pengze County.

Di Chun went with him to handle the murder case.

As a result, the road to that small village was very difficult to travel.

He was old and frail, and although he was still energetic, he was no longer as young as he used to be.

Walking on the path, I suddenly lost my footing and was about to fall from a height.

It was Di Chun who quickly pushed him, preventing him from falling from the height.

As a result, Di Chun himself fell from a height and hit his head.

He hurriedly ordered the other constables who were with him to rescue Di Chun.

Di Renjie was already skilled in medicine, and under his careful treatment, Di Chun quickly woke up.

To Di Renjie's surprise, Di Chun seemed to have become a completely different person since he woke up.

He's become much smarter than before.

For some minor cases, Di Chun could observe the scene, collect clues, and deduce the truth without his intervention.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

Di Renjie looked at Di Chun, and Di Chun also looked at Di Renjie, their minds filled with countless thoughts.

The current Di Chun is no longer the same Di Chun as before.

The current Di Chun is a person who traveled from the 21st century.

In his previous life, he was a young man in his early twenties who had just started working.

As a result, on his way to work on his first day, he was crossing the street.

However, he was hit and thrown into the air by a speeding truck.

He died instantly.

At the moment of death, the soul is squeezed directly out of the body.

As a time traveler, he naturally also has a system.

However, his system was rather rudimentary.

It is called the "Progress System".

It only has four characters, and there's no system panel or anything like that.

Aside from the name, there's only an explanation of the system.

As the name suggests, this system works as long as the user takes the initiative to learn.

So whatever it is, whether it's medical skills or martial arts, etc.

As long as he studies diligently, he will definitely make progress; there is no situation where he cannot make progress.

The system is rudimentary, but its functions are very powerful.

Many people stop learning when they reach a certain stage, feel they can't make any more progress, and then give up.

With the support of this system, Di Chun's learning will not encounter any bottlenecks at all.

Of course, his name in his previous life was not Di Chun; his original name was Zhou Yi.

Unexpectedly, after being hit and killed, his soul was taken to another world by the system.
