Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 99

Shao Ziyu went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice early in the morning, and then set off with his colleagues to the scene of the crime. Chenmiao Village and Lijiazhuang were not far away. When Shao Ziyu and the others arrived, there were many villagers around the courtyard of the victim's house. Two officials at the gate of the courtyard watched Then, everyone was talking about it.

There were two murders in two nights. The county magistrate in charge of this area is already in a state of anxiety. It's not easy for him to be a petty official. It doesn't matter if he is a thief or a thief on weekdays. He can't handle a big murder case and reports it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I haven't found out about that one yesterday, and another one came out today. If there is a big trouble, the Holy Majesty will know that he will not be able to sit on the chair of the magistrate.

The two foremen were in the house. Shao Ziyu stood outside and asked some questions about the relatives of the family. He was also an honest farmer and had a good relationship with his neighbors. The couple were still at their natal home with their two children, and the two old people and the youngest child died.

Shao Ziyu asked Eleven and Ah Jiu to go to the surrounding villagers at the gate of the yard to find out if there was any change last night. In the room here, two gangsters did it.

"My lord, the wound of the deceased is exactly the same as yesterday's in Lijiazhuang. The sharp weapon hit him, and he cut his throat and killed him. There was no sign of struggle on the body of the old man or the child. He should have been killed while he was asleep."

It wasn't poisoning or injury, it was simply killing him with a single knife. Shao Ziyu took the cloth given by Shi Shi, soaked it in water, and walked into the house. Several stools fell to the ground, and the locks on the cabinet were pried open. Clothes turned into a mess.

There were three people lying on the kang bed over there. Apart from the shocking wound on their necks, their expressions showed that they were struggling when they lost too much blood and could hardly breathe, so their lying postures were a bit weird.

The three people sleeping so close together like this, even if the gangsters come and go without a trace, the people around him will definitely be able to notice when one person dies. It is still snow melting, and the windows and doors of the house are closed, so it is impossible to enter the house Nothing happened.

Shao Ziyu walked to the window of the room inside, the window frame was slightly open, and he reached out his hand to touch the seam, there were some slight knife marks there, the window seemed to be pried open by some thin sharp object.

Ah Jiu came over and said that he found that there were several earthen vats in the corner outside the window, one of which was broken, but there was no accumulated water or snow inside. The snow has melted for the past few days, and the night is full of cold wind The blowing sky, if it had been broken a few days ago, there might be ice or water here, but now it is clean inside.

Shao Ziyu looked up and looked around. There were farmhouses on both sides of this family, and he told Ah Jiu, "Go to these two families and ask if you heard any unusual sounds last night."

Shao Ziyu stood in front of these tile vats for a while, looked at the window sill, there were no clean footprints on it, even if he entered or left from here, and passed along the position of the rear window, he did not see any footprints along the way. It must be the same person, or the same group, who committed the crime.

In the yard here, the magistrate picked up his sleeve and wiped his sweat, watched the officials carry out the man covered with white cloth, and greeted Shao Ziyu who was walking over there, "Master Shao, there is a clue."

"Take it back and have it inspected before you can make a decision." After Shao Ziyu finished speaking, seeing that the lord was still worried, he comforted him, "Your Majesty Yang, don't worry, the court will not pursue this kind of murder on you alone."

The county magistrate nodded. The two places where the accident occurred were under his jurisdiction. Now he just felt that he was unlucky. Shao Ziyu asked the officials to transport the body back to the Ministry of Punishment. "Go back first, and check with those yesterday. There are drugs such as ecstasy, and they passed out in a coma before death."

There are still quite a few villagers watching outside, most of them are worried about their own safety. During the Chinese New Year, several people died quietly, so it is safe to live in this village.

Ah Jiu has already asked the two neighbors, and came to report to Shao Ziyu, "My lord, one family said that they were sound asleep and did not hear it, and the other family said that they seemed to hear a cat meowing at night, maybe the cat bumped into something, and there was a sound of broken tiles." .”

"What time?"

"Child time has passed."

This was the time when they were in deep sleep, and it happened more than an hour after Shao Ziyu and the others left Lijiazhuang. They were checking Lijiazhuang, but the gangsters had already selected a place to attack
Back at the Ministry of Punishments, Shao Ziyu reported the incident to Zuo Shilang, who then went to the Ministry of Punishments to report.

Shao Ziyu asked Ah Jiu to find a more detailed map of the vicinity of Luodu City, circled Lijiazhuang, and then circled Chenmiao Village. At first, it was a little far away from Luodu City, and there was a village between them.

Looking around like this, the shape seems to be going around Luodu City.

Killing innocent people, not robbing money, not robbing sex, killing with sharp knives and knives, all succeeded when they could not resist, and deliberately messed up the scene after they succeeded.

But the search for revenge at the scene is not like revenge, and the robbery is not like robbery. Apart from knowing that the killer is very skilled, there are really no other clues.

"Could it be that the vengeance seekers deliberately arranged it to look like a robbery." Eleven thought for a while, and then felt that what he said didn't make sense. If he wanted to arrange it like a robbery, there would be no shortage of property in the house.

It didn't take long for the Minister of Criminal Affairs to invite Shao Ziyu to go. There was no progress in the case. In order to prevent such a case from happening again, Lijiazhuang and Chenmiao Village needed to send more people to guard the night.

"My lord, it's better to send more people to the villages near Chenmiao Village and Lijiazhuang to prevent the murderer from attacking elsewhere." Shao Ziyu suggested.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs nodded, with a serious expression, "It is really unlucky that such a murder case happened before the Lantern Festival. I will submit a memorial to the Holy Majesty at a later date. Time is running out. You need to speed up the investigation. The manpower here, Zuo Shilang Adults can call it directly."

An hour later, the autopsy room had the results. The six deceased had inhaled varying amounts of ecstasy incense, and the ecstasy incense also remained on the faces of the deceased. They should be fainted by their faces, not from the windows. Blow in.

Blowing it so quickly in front of your face can make you dizzy. The amount and value of this ecstasy incense will not be low. Shao Ziyu asked his assistant to take off the remaining ecstasy incense as much as possible and put it together. You can take it to a place that sells these spices for careful inspection.
It was very late when I returned to Shao Mansion. Shao Ziyu went to the scene of the crime during the day. When he was in the front yard, Guanyan burned grass to exorcise evil spirits, and stepped over the brazier to get rid of bad luck. Then he let Shao Ziyu take a bath before entering Lin Qingran's yard.

There is no news about the murder case here in Luodu City, and it was blocked to death. When Lin Qingran heard him talk about the prisoner's motives, he immediately thought far away, "Could it be that the elders of the two deceased people lived in seclusion? Then, the enemies came to look for them, so I killed them all. If there are still people who die later, it means that there are several households living in seclusion." Lin Qingran's imagination was too far, and he had already thought of the martial arts disputes and the massacre of extermination, and then left behind. He was an orphan, and when he grew up, he came to seek revenge on those accomplices who had withdrawn from the rivers and lakes to live in seclusion. That's why this knife is deadly and clean!

"Where are you going?" Shao Ziyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and all the disputes in the martial arts were brought out, "Even if it is what you said, how could it be so easy to kill, this reclusive Jiang Hu person, would there be no way to defend himself?"

Looking at his expression, Lin Qingran knew that he was laughing at herself, and snorted, "If you don't seek revenge, don't rob money, don't rob sex, if you can't find a reason for the dead, then the murderer is revenge on the society and protesting against the government. "

Shao Ziyu didn't understand her sentence of retaliation against society, but he listened to the second half of the sentence, demonstrating to the court, so he looked at Lin Qingran, smiled and said, "Why do you do this, lady."

Lin Qingran coughed lightly, searched the memories of her previous life in her mind, organized her words and said, "Think about it, since there is no grievance or enmity with the deceased, then the starting point of this must not be because of the deceased, maybe they just vent their dissatisfaction emotions, or feel that the world is unfair and unfair to them, and they have a vengeful mentality. The reason why they killed those innocent people in the village, I think, is that those farmhouses are easy to invade. There are guards again, so they will definitely not be able to succeed." After speaking, Lin Qingran felt a little guilty, looked up at him, and coughed lightly again, she was guessing randomly.

"You mean to make the government a headache and the court to pay attention, and their goal will be achieved." Shao Ziyu saw her look in his eyes and said with a smile.

"It's not impossible." Lin Qingran didn't know what to do, but in her previous life, there were luos who ran on the main road just to attract the attention of others, and there were all kinds of surprise tricks. So as to achieve the purpose of attracting attention.

Lin Qingran thought about what she could think, and it was because her brain was too open. She looked at Shao Ziyu and smiled, "I guessed randomly, you just need to hear it."

Shao Ziyu raised his eyebrows, "The motive for the murder is a bit exaggerated, but similar possibilities cannot be ruled out." If the reason is not the deceased, it must be the murderer.

During the day, I had already checked the genealogy of the previous generations of the two victims. They were all honest peasants, and there was no enmity between the married children.

Now that the evidence is not complete, we can only wait. If there is no sign after these two incidents, it is likely to be an unsolved case

This night, when all the people sent out were watching closely, several villages were quiet and there was no movement. Shao Ziyu studied the map near Luodu City for a long time, and asked Ah Jiu and Shi Yi to take a few people to go again. The other two villages were in ambush. If possible, Shao Ziyu would like to send troops in these villages.

There has been no news for the next few days.

On the seventh day after the incident, on the 15th Lantern Festival, the city of Luodu was full of excitement. At night, several streets and markets were hung with lanterns, and there were many people coming and going. Most of the shops were open on this day. Within [-] days, these markets passed all the way, only guessing lantern riddles. In previous years, there were no monkey shows and some performances this year, but this did not affect the people who came out to watch the lights.

There are even a lot of people passing by in the alley. Some ladies who usually don’t go out in the boudoir can come out for a walk today, take a small lantern and wear a mask sold in the market, and follow the crowds. There are poems.

It was such a lively scene, crowded with people, who was missing in the crowd, who was missing in the alley, until the crowd dispersed in the middle of the night, no one found the kidnapped girls and the abandoned ones. In the alley, the fresh life who was laughing and watching the lights just a moment ago
