Detective in the Red Chamber

Just thinking about these things, Sun Shaozong suddenly stopped, his eyes locked on a candidate in the front left, he nodded with his chin, and ordered, "Go up and search!"

The soldiers were about to start when they heard the words, but they saw the examinee slipped to the ground along the wooden plank under his buttocks, and kowtowed like smashing garlic, "My lord, please forgive me!"

But what did the soldiers call him?

After pounced on him three times, five times and two times, he stripped the scholar off, and sure enough, he found dozens of cheat sheets in the lining of his underwear!

"grown ups!"

The leader of the military man gritted his teeth and said, "I'm humble, so I'll go and gather the people who were in charge of the inspection at the time, and see if it's that bastard who dares to trap adults in injustice!"

These soldiers were temporarily transferred from the patrol battalion, and they were basically subordinates of the cheap brother Sun Shaozu.

Now that there is such a mistake, not to mention that Sun Shaozong can't explain it here, even if he returns to the barracks in the future, he may not get anything good, that's why the soldier is so angry.

"It has nothing to do with the person in charge of the search."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "This person is all white and clean, even the wooden boards he used have been wiped repeatedly, but the neckline of the underwear is full of sludge, which is completely opposite to his Xijie personality, and the fabric used in the underwear is also much worse than the coat... ..."

After a pause, he ordered again, "Go and check the guards of the nearby toilets to see if there are any underwear that do not match their identities - find out and put a [-]-jin shackle on me, and drag them to the door for public display!"

"As ordered!"

Those soldiers took orders to go, and Sun Shaozong continued to inspect.

Seeing that the circle was about to be completed, Sun Shaozong was about to go to the chief examiner to discuss the details of the paper collection.

Suddenly, a gatekeeper came in a hurry and shouted, "Master! There was a murder case in Wanping County, and now the magistrate of Daxing County came here, and I want to ask you to give me some advice."

There was a murder case in Wanping County, and the magistrate of Daxing County came to ask for advice?

This is very strange to hear.

However, Sun Shaozong thought about it for a while, and guessed that it was probably the murderer who committed the 'blood letter' again.

Although according to the rules, unless called by the emperor, all personnel in the examination room during the autumn period are not allowed to leave without authorization.

But it is still possible to talk to people outside through the gate under the surveillance of the yamen servants, especially if this is a serious case of human life, so there is no need to worry that someone will think in a wrong way.

So Sun Shaozong hurried to the front gate of the Gongyuan, but saw that in addition to Su Xingfang, the prime minister of Daxing County, there was Jiang Laoqi, the head of the fast arresting team in Wanping County.

And the purpose of these two people's coming, as expected by Sun Shaozong, was precisely for the case of the 'blood character'!

After listening to Sun Shaozong's analysis that day, Daxing County cast a big net on August [-]th to catch the murderer, but in the end they found nothing.

At that time, Wang Qian complained that Sun Shaozong's analysis was completely nonsense.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, someone discovered that Lin Zongmao, a street patrolman in Wanping County, was killed in the alley in front of his house, with the word "Shenduan" written on his chest in blood, and he was also pierced with a single knife. heart to die.

It stands to reason that Wanping County should be responsible for this case.

However, Xu Huaizhi, the magistrate of Wanping County, argued that Daxing County had already filed a case for this, and it should be dealt with together to make it easier to find the murderer.

Moreover, there were two deaths in Daxing County, and only one in Wanping. Naturally, Daxing County should be the main one, and Wanping County should be supplemented.

That's why it happened that the magistrate of Daxing County led Wanping to arrest and investigate the case.

"After our preliminary investigation, there should be no relationship between the three victims."

Su Xingfang smiled wryly through the doorway, "In addition, we didn't find any useful clues at the scene, so we really have no way to investigate—in order to avoid more deaths, I have to trouble you again, my lord."

Indeed, the most fearful thing in investigating a case is this kind of perverted random murder case!

Especially in ancient times when science was underdeveloped, it was even more difficult to find the murderer.

But generally speaking, such planned serial random killings often have internal connections under the seemingly illogical appearance.

As for this case...

Sun Shaozong went through the general case in his mind, and suddenly asked Jiang Laoqi, "Squad leader Jiang, I don't know how the folks feel about this death patrolling the streets?"

Chapter 114 No.4 Victim

"This one……"

Listening to Sun Shaozong's question about Lin Zongmao's reputation, Jiang Laoqi said hesitantly, "Master also knows that people who work in our profession will inevitably offend many people, so this reputation is naturally... just... "

This guy obviously wanted to cover Lin Zongmao's ugliness, but Sun Shaozong should understand what he said hesitantly, and naturally he already understood it.

So he stretched out three fingers, and slowly said, "No. 1 deceased is a rotten alcoholic who likes to drink like crazy; No. 2 deceased is a well-known rascal; No. 3 deceased is a bad reputation fast."

"My lord means..."

Hearing that Sun Shaozong used three negative comments in a row, Su Xingfang also recalled it a little bit, and blurted out, "He killed all the villains?!"

"Even if he is not a villain, he is at least a hated guy." Sun Shaozong shrugged and said, "Maybe he thinks he is doing justice for the sky."

After a pause, he said again, "Another point is that he is constantly increasing the difficulty for himself!"

"Increase the difficulty?"

"That's right!"

Sun Shaozong explained, "The first deceased was in poor health due to years of alcoholism, not to mention his own social status."

"The second deceased was a hooligan, with a bit of brute force. As for his social status, he barely has a bit."

"The third deceased was a street patrolman, so he should always have a weapon on his body, and his social status was stronger than that rascal's."

"It can be seen from this that every time he chooses a target, it will be more difficult to deal with than the last one."

Hearing Sun Shaozong's analysis to this point, Jiang Laoqi's expression had completely collapsed, and he said in a trembling voice, "Isn't the little... villain me very dangerous?!"

"you?"

Sun Shaozong looked at his chick-like physique, and said speechlessly, "Don't worry, if my guess is correct, you should be very safe!"

Jiang Laoqi immediately felt relieved when he heard the words.

But Su Xingfang on the side was still frowning, and said with a wry smile, "In this way, isn't it very possible that the murderer will attack the court officials?"

"It's possible, but I'm afraid it's more dangerous..." Sun Shaozong frowned suddenly when he said this, and said after a while, "I'm afraid he is still a general of the four battalions and one guard. After all, not only the identity of the victim is promoted each time , and the victim’s ability to resist.”

But it turned out that halfway through Sun Shaozong's speech, he suddenly thought of his cheap brother. His reputation didn't seem to be much better, and he was also a military general famous for his force, which completely met the murderer's goal!

But he is a dignified fourth-rank, and he has personal guards to follow him when he goes in and out, so the murderer shouldn't raise the difficulty so high all of a sudden, right?

wrong!

This matter is really not sure, after all, the murderer has been provoking him all the time, what else can anger him more than directly killing his own brother? !

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong couldn't care less about anything else, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Su, please go to my house to inform me that my brother should be more vigilant recently, and don't go to the streets alone!"

When Su Xingfang heard this, he immediately thought of a similar possibility, and he agreed solemnly, and then said with a bitter face, "It's a pity that my lord can't spare his hand, otherwise how could that murderer be so rampant?"

The case may involve Big Brother Cheap, so why doesn't Sun Shaozong want to solve the case himself?

But the problem is that all officials and servants in the examination room are not allowed to step out of the examination room during the autumn period, even patrol envoys who do not have the right to review papers are no exception.

So in the next two exams, Sun Shaozong was always restless.

Although it was not enough to delay the business because of this, the punishment was greatly increased. On August 25th, two yamen servants who tried to assist in cheating were executed on the spot!

A whole night without sleep.

When the first ray of sunshine fell in the morning, Sun Shaozong didn't care about the invigilation, and ran directly outside the main entrance, waiting for Su Xingfang to bring the latest news.

However, until daylight came, no news came.

Just when Sun Shaozong was anxious and wanted to call two passers-by to help him go to the county government for questioning, Jiang Laoqi finally arrived in a hurry and brought a piece of news that he didn't know whether it was good or bad—there was no news last night. People were killed!

"Master, you said... Do you think the murderer was cowardly?"

I heard Jiang Lao Qi say, "Based on your deduction, the higher-ups have increased the search and arrest efforts, and when the adults travel, they also try to gather in groups - the murderer can't find a chance at all, so he gave up. ?”

give up?

Ordinarily, with such an intensive search and arrest, it is not impossible for the murderer to admit defeat.

But Sun Shaozong always felt that a lunatic who dared to commit crimes continuously and left provocative messages at the scene did not seem like a master who would easily admit defeat.

Thinking this way in his heart, Sun Shaozong said in his mouth, "If this is the case, then naturally it would be the best - but this case will still be solved, so you can't relax just because of this."

Jiang Laoqi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my lord, this case is now full of turmoil, how can the villain dare not try his best?"

"That's good."

Sun Shaozong nodded, and prepared to go back to the examination room for inspection.

Unexpectedly, at this time, more than a dozen riders suddenly rushed to the end of the long street, sweeping across the long street like arrows, and the bluffing pedestrians screamed and dodged.

Dragon Guard?

Sun Shaozong had good eyesight, and from a distance, he could see that the people were a team of dragon guards, and the leaders seemed to be old acquaintances - Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian.

After staying in Hebei for more than half a month, Sun Shaozong and the three brothers got along quite well.

So a few days ago, when Jia Lian entrusted him to inquire about the young lady of the He family, Sun Shaozong found the three brothers.

In the end, Jia Lian really guessed it right. The young lady of the He family was detained from the fourth rank by the governor of Beizhen Fusi and became the sixth concubine.

The Fusi of the South and North Towns of the Dragon Guards are all secret agencies directly under the emperor. Even with the power of the Rongguo Mansion, it is impossible to take food from the tiger's mouth, so Jia Lian had to die...

and many more!

Why only Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian?

What about Jin Yichuan?

Aren't the three of them always inseparable?

Could it be...

An ominous omen flashed in Sun Shaozong's heart, and at this time Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian had arrived at the door with the dozen or so dragon guards.

Seeing that Sun Shaozong was standing in the door opening, the two hurriedly slammed off their horses, rushed to the steps and knelt down with a plop, their eyes filled with tears, and said sadly, "My lord, Ichikawa...Ichikawa is gone!"

Is Jin Yichuan really dead? !

Although he had expected it long ago, Sun Shaozong couldn't help being surprised, and blurted out, "Did the 'blood' murderer do it? Could it be that he was killed with a single knife?!"

"My lord's lesson!"

Lu Jianxing choked up and said, "My brother was stabbed through the heart by a gangster and died!"

It was a one-shot kill!

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but gasped again.

The three Lu Jianxing brothers, known as the detective Si Sangou, although their force might not be as good as that of Sun Shaozong who has the golden finger bonus, they can be regarded as rare masters!

Coupled with the fact that they have been involved in the business of ransacking their homes and destroying their families all year round, their vigilance is many times stronger than that of ordinary people.

If even Jin Yichuan was stabbed to death with a single knife, and he was powerless to fight back, wouldn't the murderer's skill be...

Chapter 115 Suspicion in Blood Words [Part [-]]

The third update is completed. It is said that I am only updating Chapter 3 now. Why did someone say that my three chapters today are not good in the afternoon?

On August 27, Long Jinwei Beizhen Fusi.

"The deceased's arms were bent inwards, and his hands were grasping, but there were no cut marks on the palms. It can be basically inferred that he tried to prevent the penetration of the murder weapon with his hands, but before he could complete the whole action, he lost consciousness. .”

"So it can be further inferred that this knife must have been very sudden!"

"The footprints at the scene are a bit messy, so I can't judge where the murderer launched the raid."

"However, judging from the depth of the footprints and the distance between steps, the murderer should be between [-] feet [-] inches and [-] feet [-] inches in height, and his body type is either fat or muscular."

"The shoe is a common layered sole. Judging from the clarity of the texture, it should be a new pair of shoes."

"The 'blood character' was written with blood on a finger. After careful comparison and observation, it can be confirmed that it was written by the same person."

"But judging by the degree of unfamiliarity of the strokes, it's either not the dominant hand, or the murderer doesn't write often-I personally prefer the former."

"Master Sun, I don't know what the humble official said, is there any omission?"

That's right.

The above inferences are not from Sun Shaozong's mouth, but the reasoning of Qin Kejian, the captain of Beizhen Fusi.

After noon, after all the scholars had finally left the tribute courtyard, Sun Shaozong hurried to Beizhen Fusi, wanting to check the files transferred from Daxing County yesterday, as well as the victim's body.

As a result, Qin Kejian's reasoning was heard in the morgue of the detective department.
