Chapter 100: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Until the end, Rosen did not directly reveal his inferences to Wang Xuan.

Because whether it is Wang Xuanran who revealed to Lu Xuan the relationship between Cao Qing and Lian Xiang is no longer important.

Rosen didn't care what Wang Xuanran's struggle was for doing this.

He didn't want to know any stories of the other party's suffering, even if it was touching enough to sing and cry.

He didn't want to know what Cao Qing had done in private, and what kind of demonic existence he was in Wang Xuanran's eyes.

Wang Xuanran has an ironclad alibi.

So Cao Qing was not killed by her.

That's enough.

Although according to the opinion of Wu Chenggang, a member of the task force and a professor of criminal psychology at the Chinese People's Public Security University, generally speaking, the method of poisoning is more in line with the behavior profile of female criminals, but this judgment does not conform to the actual situation of Daliang State.

Why is it that in modern society, most of the murderers in poisoning crimes are women?

This does not mean some kind of sexistness, but simply a very simple truth.

Whether you want to admit it or not, when human civilization has developed so far, men are still in the dominant position in society for most of the time.

In other words, women are the weaker side in many cases.

Defeat the strong with the weak, and use poison is the best.

Why is it that from ancient times to the present, whether in history books, in China, or in film and television dramas, when the two sides fight, the poisoner is usually despicable?

Because it's a very unfair battle sequence.

When a female perpetrator is confronted with a stronger male target, the use of poison can greatly reduce the already unfair power gap between the two parties.

To put it simply, it's easier to get things done.

But in the Great Liang Kingdom, this logic will become a little broader.

Because there are cultivators in the girders.

This in itself is an inequity that transcends gender and age.

Even if it is a battle between a man and a man, it will form a vastly different gap in the combat effectiveness of the two people because of the gap in cultivation.

Cao Qing, as the strongest person at the level of the flag officer of the Xuzhou Garrison Army, if it wasn't for Lin Qianjun himself, others wanted to kill him, which was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

This is also the reason why Rosen did not suspect Lin Qianjun at the beginning.

If Lin Qianjun did it, he wouldn't have to make things so troublesome at all.

What is Cao Qing's realm?

The pinnacle of the Qi realm.

What about Lin Qianjun?

He is an upright and upright peak powerhouse of the Three Talents Realm.

In Zhao Wushuang's words, with a difference of two great realms, if Lin Qianjun wanted to kill Cao Qing, he probably only needed to move one finger.

But this is Lin Qianjun.

For the rest of the garrison, it was not so easy to kill Cao Qingke.

The estrangement between realms is like the law of heaven and earth, and it is extremely difficult to violate.

Then poisoning became the best option.

At this time, in Luo Sen's heart, since Wang Xuanran had proven his innocence, he actually only had one suspect left except for Lin Qianjun.

Xiangyang's search of the city's defense records has not progressed yet, but Lawson doesn't want to wait any longer.

Maybe it was because a small sleep before he regained some spirits, or maybe it was because the waves in front of Wang Xuanran made him adrenaline soar, in short, at this time, Lawson was already planning to go out to investigate.

He was going to see the final piece of the puzzle for this murder.

Even though Wu Chenggang once told Rosen conclusively that there might not be anything to be gained from this trip, Rosen still planned to try.

Walking out of the gate of Yihuafang, the spring sun rarely looks a little dazzling.

Lawson lifted his pants, put his right hand on his waist, and took a fan from somewhere in his left hand and shook it with or without a match.

It's like those gentlemen who just came out of the flower building for a spring night.

All the way south.

However, in the time of half a pillar of incense, Lawson had already come to the intersection of Huangli Street, and he looked at Erya, who was standing at the gate of Hongqiao Noodle Restaurant playing with stones, and unconsciously smiled on his face.

was about to step forward, but suddenly the corner of his eye was cold, and he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing from the alley next to Pineapple Street.

Rosen's pupils shrank, he hesitated for a moment, the folding fan in his hand stopped, and with a twist of his ankle, he followed the man.

Because the adjudication department is located here, Huangli Street is deserted like a lonely mound all year round, and the lanes next to it are not winding, but they are also extremely silent.

Fearing exposure, Lawson deliberately slowed down, his feet in the middle of the loose sand and stones, making a soft noise.

After about a hundred breaths, the man in front of him stopped very abruptly, and stood alone in the middle of the alleyway.

Lawson looked around to the left and right, there was really no shelter, and he took two more steps forward, and then stopped in place like the other party.

The two were less than twenty meters apart.

Then the man finally turned around slowly, with a helpless smile on his face.

"I didn't expect Lord Luo to find this place. ”

Hearing this, the muscles in Lawson's body suddenly tightened secretly, and the sea of qi in his abdomen was about to move.

"You brought me here on purpose?"

The other party smiled, stretched out his arms, and looked at a rhododendron peeking out of the wall not far away, his voice full of regret.

"It's also beautiful to be buried in the spring flowers, isn't it?"

Rosen also laughed: "It seems that Lord Pan is already determined to kill me?"

Pan Shi was noncommittal about this, and just asked, "Although this sentence is very meaningless, I still want to ask you, how do you know?"

Hearing this, Rosen could only sigh secretly in his heart.

Zi said: The villain died from talking too much.

Sure enough, it's not unreasonable.

Of course, he was happy to delay time with the other party, so he said unhurriedly: "Because I heard more details about your party the night before the crime from Xiang Yang and Xiang Commander. ”

"For example?"

"For example, the last time the ghost market opened, you bought a set of snow spirit silver needles, and you were ridiculed by Zhou Qichang, and Cao Qing suddenly decided to leave the table at this time. ”

Pan Shi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Go on." ”

Rosen smiled and spread his hands: "You are very unlucky, if this case is not in charge of me, maybe other people will not be able to think of the relationship at all, but unfortunately, Li Xiuru's case was also solved by me." ”

Hearing this, Pan Shi also showed regret.

"Although Li Xiuru's case has long been revealed, in fact, in the whole case, there is a key point, I have never figured it out, this matter was raised to Zhan Linwen when I first opened the file, but it was not explained, and afterwards because Li Xiuru was under the law, I did not pursue it again, but I never thought that after many days, it would become an important clue in Cao Qing's case. ”

Hearing that Lawson finally mentioned Li Xiuru's name, Pan Shi shook his head slightly, but his eyes were always locked on Lawson's body and did not leave for a moment.

And Rosen didn't seem to care about this, but continued to speak: "In Li Xiuru's case, I found the motive, and I also found the evidence of the murder, but about her entire criminal process, it doesn't make sense. ”

"How the hell did she get the body out of the state capital!"

Pan Shi was silent.

Rosen said with a smile: "Regarding this matter, Zhan Linwen actually noticed it early on, and focused on investigating the garrison, but he didn't gain anything? Why? The answer is very simple......

"The one who helped Li Xiuru out of the city was not the main culprit, but an accomplice, naturally there is no motive for killing, and he can have a perfect alibi, this person must be Lord Pan, right?"

In this regard, Pan Shi neither admitted nor denied it, but Rosen already seemed to have a wisdom bead in his hands.

"Master Pan doesn't know the secret weapon, but he bought a set of snow spirit silver needles at a high price in the ghost market, naturally he didn't use it himself, so coincidentally, I just know that Li Xiuru is used to silver needles. ”

Rosen continued: "Maybe Cao Qing also knows this, or maybe it's because Li Xiuru's case is really full of trouble, so he thought of it during the banquet, and after going back, he looked at the city defense records, and he should have quickly found something wrong." ”

"Although I haven't found this record yet, I guess it's weird that a dignified lord suddenly chose to guard the city gate, right? Just like when Cao Qing's case occurred, Lord Pan actually came to Cao's Mansion as a night patrolman. ”

"And once Cao Qing makes this matter public, you will definitely not survive, because Li Xiuru is not an ordinary murderer, she killed Lin Dutong's daughter, Lin Qingbi!"

In the face of Lawson's successive revelation outputs, Pan Shi did not seem flustered, but smiled faintly.

"So, you were already suspicious of me when I appeared in front of you as a night watchman?"

Lawson shook his head: "Definitely." I didn't notice this at the time, and what really made me think that you were suspicious was the murderer's modus operandi. ”

"Oh?" Pan Shi slowly took a few steps forward, his face full of curiosity.

But Lawson turned a blind eye to this, neither turned around and ran, nor begged for mercy, but stood there like a fool.

"I speculated that the reason why the murderer strangled Cao Qing's neck with a rope to death should be to cover up his real means of murder, so I found the guards who were the best at strangling in the garrison, and planned to interrogate them one by one, but the interesting thing is that I knew most of these people. ”

"I've only been in the garrison for a short time, and I rarely come into contact with ordinary soldiers on weekdays, so this is really surprising, unless ......"

Pan Shi smiled: "Unless they are all from the Fourth Banner Regiment. ”

Lawson nodded: "Not bad." And Master Pan, as the first commander of the Fourth Banner Regiment, I guess these people's strangulation skills are all practiced with you, right?"

Pan Shi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air from his mouth, the bright yellow light in his hand loomed, and when it came to the end, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"It's a pity that a talent like you was delisted by the Adjudication Division. ”
