Return to 1983 and be a detective

In the Jichun City Public Security Bureau, Xu Shan carefully looked at the case information they provided, including many photos of the scene.

After reading it, he began to reason.

"According to the current evidence and information, as well as the suicide speculation of the trapeze actor Wang Hongbing, there are many unexplained doubts. First of all, there is no wire wrapped around the shelf in the photos of the scene, so it is very likely that it was Someone sneaked back to the scene and took advantage of the chaos to clean up the thin wire.

At the same time, there are also those lions and tigers that escaped from the cage. Generally speaking, they are relatively tame and cannot escape violently. So after killing two animal trainers, did someone give these ligers and tigers some kind of poison? medicine.

In addition, the animal trainer's throat was cut with a knife. If one person was killed, it could also be explained by taking advantage of him unprepared. Both people died in a defenseless state, which shows that there may be more than one murderer.

In addition, there are big gaps in the list of circus members, and the number of people basically does not match up. However, judging from the interrogation records of those members on the list, most of them have the same story. This is the biggest doubt in this case..."

After hearing Xu Shan's analysis, Niu Yonggui said: "As expected of Comrade Xu Shan, we discovered that there are so many doubts after you said it. Before, we only discovered what you said under the guidance of the task force. There is more than one murderer, and I also noticed that these animals must have been drugged. As for the consistent confession you said is the biggest doubt, I still don't understand why everyone's unanimous confession has become the biggest doubt. ?”

"Actually, it would be possible if everyone was highly educated and their confessions would be consistent, but now it seems that the members of this circus are not very well educated, and many of them can't even write their names. So, Why are their confessions surprisingly consistent? For example, here, you see, this Wang Damao and this Wang Xiaomao, both of them used the same word, a literary word, "take a nap" when explaining their alibi. Generally speaking, Speaking of Jianghu people, there is no way they can be so elegant, let alone talk about having a quickie, taking a nap, or sleeping for a while, such colloquial words, but the two of them said this word at the same time.

Not only that, if you look at the confessions given by everyone, they seem to be about the same length. Although they are not precise enough to punctuate, the information basically everyone confessed is the same. No one confessed anything that others did not know. This is very abnormal. Case. "

Niu Yonggui thought about it and immediately understood what Xu Shan meant.

He patted his head in annoyance: "You said it was such an obvious situation, why didn't I see it at the time?"

Xu Shanxin said, why didn’t your task force notice it at the time?

In other words... everyone didn't take it seriously?

"By the way, this kind of circus should be touring all over the country. Can you still find them now and bring them over to ask us again?"

Niu Yonggui was very embarrassed: "This is a bit difficult. In fact, we have been paying attention to the traces of these members, but within a month of us watching them, those people either died or disappeared. In the end, no one Leave a trail."

"...Dead? Missing? Could it be that someone suspected them and sought revenge on them?"

"That's all I can think of. By the way, I still have some information on the death scenes of those members. I'll go over and get it for you to take a look at."

As he spoke, he went to the archives to get several thick stacks of information and placed them in front of Xu Shan.

After Xu Shan read them one by one, his eyes lit up: "I can probably see some problems. The murderer behind this case should be the remnants of the Huidao Sect. At least these circus members are the remnants of the Huidao Sect. To be killed.”

"Knowing Taoism? How do you see it?"

"I guess you don't know much about these Jianghu people in the Huidao Sect. In fact, these Jianghu people are far away from our lives on the surface. If I hadn't dealt with them before, I really wouldn't know that these Jianghu people still exist. , and are still making trouble secretly. Let's put it this way, look at the dead circus members in the back. They all have three penetrating wounds, two in the thigh and one in the heart. This is the cruel punishment for punishing traitors in the world. , called three swords and six holes.

In addition, these acrobats in this circus are actually people from the eight gates of the old society. The eight gates also belong to the branch of thieves. They are divided into gold leather and colorful hangings, judging groups and willows. This colorful gate is a performance. Acrobatics and magic, the circus basically belongs to this colorful school.

It is estimated that they betrayed the Cai Zi Sect and were hunted down by the people in the Cai Zi Sect. In the end, they suffered three blows and six holes, and ended up with a tragic death. "

Xu Shan’s analysis made Niu Yonggui’s eyes widen: “So to put it this way, the headless case in the circus and the death of the two animal trainers were the internal actions of them. They killed three people together. He created a chaos, but in the end he was killed and silenced one by one by the Cai Zi Sect's revenge?"

"It seems that this is the case at the moment, but I don't think these guys are really dead. There must be insiders hiding and have not been found by the killers of Caizimen."

"Why so sure?"

"This is just an intuition of mine. I also have an intuition that the insider did not go far, but hid in Jichun City, hiding in the city. If he wants to hide from someone, the best way is often to hide. In a place with a lot of people, after all, this Taoist sect would not dare to go out to kill people openly. Hiding in a place with a lot of people may actually be safer.

On the contrary, if you look at those people who were stabbed three times and six times, they all ran to the village and followed them into the mountains. They thought wrong. What the people who broke into the door were good at was tracking, finding people, and hiding in places with few people. It's time to start. "

"Then how can we lure this person out?" Niu Yonggui asked.

Xu Shan thought for a while: "How about we issue a reward."

"Is it necessary to issue a wanted warrant? This is not easy to handle. This case has not been announced. It is not easy to arrest someone who is clueless."

"No, no, you misunderstood, Captain Niu, let me tell you the truth. In fact, my main business is not to solve cases, but to make money. So I have too much money now to spend it. In order to solve this case, I am willing to Sponsor 1 yuan. Come and offer a reward for the insider. Let me see, among the missing circus members, there is a pretty girl Chu Tianshu. She has a different surname from the other members. She seems to be an opera singer and has a good education. The level is not low, so I will offer a reward to find her and use this as an entry point to find out."

Xu Shan feels that this Chu Tianshu is quite suspicious. You must know that the names of people in the past are not the kind that make a living with cheap names, such as big hair, big puppy, or names that are very contemporary like Yongjun and Aijun. After all, No matter how nice the name chosen by an uneducated person is, it won't be any better.Especially for this kind of acrobatic troupe, people usually don't need to mention their names. However, there is a person with a particularly educated name in the group, which makes them stand out from the crowd and feel out of place.

In addition to the previous confessions, the words in everyone's confessions are obviously taught by others, and it is not ordinary people who can speak such words.

"How embarrassing would it be for you to spend money?" Niu Yonggui quickly refused. 1 yuan is too much, and there has never been such a rule for individuals to pay for it.

"Actually, although a reward is offered, no one may be able to get the reward. Think about it, if this insider is one of the circus members, we don't have to pay. But if someone really needs to come up with real evidence, If we can find that beautiful girl named Chu Tianshu, then the 1 yuan will be spent. I think it is well spent."

Xu Shan really didn't care much about money. After all, the Clivia could be sold at a sky-high price if he sold it casually. He didn't feel bad at all for offering a reward of 1 yuan.

What else did Niu Yonggui want to say, but Xu Shan had already made up his mind: "If the matter is urgent, let's settle it first. Print a thousand copies of the missing person notice and let them be posted all over Jichun. I believe that our enthusiastic people will definitely It will provide us with a lot of clues.”
