Chapter 250: Tracking the Suspect (Part I)

A sleepless night passed, and Xiao Qian and the others had no time to rest at all, she thought about how to deploy the next task. But this case is far more complicated and intertwined than Xiao Qian thought.

Xiao Qian knows that she has to be fast now, if the murderer races, once she is slow, she doesn't know how many lives will be given away.

As soon as the morning dawned, Xiaoqian organized an ad hoc meeting again, hoping that there would be some breakthroughs in this meeting.

"The location of the third dog robbery dart is in the Hengwei Dart Bureau, and now it has become the Evening Deer Academy in the capital, I will lead the secret guard to squat now, if I meet him again this time, I must catch him."

"Suzaku don't worry, I still have a lot of doubts in my heart, the third and fourth cases are different from the previous cases, it stands to reason that the third case should be issued first, the early Ying Batian was not a ferocious person, he likes to show off his skills, challenge Hao Lianyi, and send a notice in advance to give him a sense of achievement, he is happy to fight with Hao Lianyi, he should enjoy the process. It's just a bold assumption that if the third case is not his work, then we are looking in the wrong direction. Another thing I can't figure out is that when Eagle Batian was twenty or thirty years old, except for the fourth murder, none of the other big and small cases were murders, so I had a lot of doubts in my heart. ”

"If the ghost king is really an eagle overlord, he is a cold-blooded killer, and the ghost king doesn't care about his relatives at all, and kills innocent women and children in vain." Hao Lian Yangming's face was angry.

"Hao Lian, let me ask you, have you ever killed someone?"

Hao Lian was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No-"

"Then you will never understand the feeling of killing, if the ghost king was a cold-blooded person in his early years, why did he commit the first case, and when he committed the second case, he didn't kill anyone? What must have happened to him after he went to Mogong Island, not only amnesia but also a great change in his temperament, this is just my personal inference. ”

Xiao Qian looked straight at the map and pointed to the part of the eagle's beak with his finger, which had no specific location. The part of the eagle's beak is the most prosperous commercial street in Xuanwu, a pawnshop. Tea house, gambling house, Evening Deer Academy, dance club. Millet Tavern - everything you need, it's all here.

Everyone looked at each other, and Han Yun said thoughtfully: "Your consciousness is to say that if the third case is not done by Eagle Batian, we will find the wrong direction." Any place in this generation could be the target of Eagle Overlord, right? ”

"Yes, that's why I want all the information of the five unsolved cases, the information that has been sealed in the confidential database, so that I can make further judgments. Just relying on the superficial knowledge of the apprentices about the five unsolved cases, I am afraid that we will go astray. Since it's the fourth case, I don't think it's the style of Eagle Overlord, he doesn't take pleasure in killing, and what he does is some deviant and bizarre. I'm thinking about forty or fifty years later. What reason does he have to revisit the old case, could it be that he wants to overturn the case for himself, either he wants to challenge Hao Lianyi again, or he wants to prove to Hao Lianyi that he did not do the third and fourth cases. "And what instructions does the princess have now?"

Xiao Qian smiled calmly, "Just call me Xiao Qian, and issue a national notice to want the ghost king." ”

"Then some of the dark guards I led patrolled the place of the eagle's beak day and night." Because he missed the murderer. Suzaku looked a little anxious.

"No, everyone is tired, from now on all the guards will rest for a quarter of an hour, and they will be busy soon, and most importantly, most of the guards will not move tonight. I will send thirty men and make other arrangements. ”

The Dark Soldier does not move? As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned, "Don't be nervous. The combination of work and rest is also very important, at least for the time being, I can still control the situation, I invited a group of foreign helpers, they will be on duty this night, but they can only hold one day. Tomorrow's sub-hour must find a way to confirm the real culprit. ”

Xiao Qian did something that surprised everyone, she placed about a dozen wooden stakes at various temporary intersections on the commercial street, and installed a strange sealed box on the wooden stakes, and put a lot of honey in the box, so that many bees flew in.

The princess also mobilized the people to actively fight against the mobs, and went door to door to distribute a packet of strange white powder, each household had to put several basins of water mixed with the powder and put it beside him, if the murderer appeared to splash him with water.

This is Bai Xiaoqian's plan, that is, psychological warfare, the murderer has been sprinkled with a strange medicinal powder by Suzaku, this medicinal powder is not poisonous, but it is very permeable, it will penetrate into the skin and itch for several days, and the skin color will also become black and red. But he had absolutely no idea what kind of poison he had been in, whether it was keeping bees or mixing medicinal powder in the water, it was all a strategy to make the enemy fearful.

Because the unknown is the most terrifying, he doesn't know what poison he has been in, and he doesn't know what the consequences will be if he touches the water or is stung by a bee.

Xiao Qian ordered the secret guard to stand still and set up a void in the city, so he bet that he would not dare to commit murder and strike again. Another point is that if he is targeting Xiao Qian, he should know that the five-day deadline to solve the case, the woman has signed a life and death certificate, and he only needs to endure a few days without showing up to achieve his goal.

――Dividing Line――

This was the last brothel, all the girls came out and stood side by side, and the previous guards carefully checked it, but they didn't find Jin'er. Xiao Qian checked Jin'er's background information, she has no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason, if she is lucky enough to escape, only this kind of fireworks land is her only place to stay.

Every girl has checked it, and the whole building has been carefully reviewed, and there is nothing suspicious.

"Mom, how many girls are here, please order one."

"Okay, Qiu Ju, Xiaomei, Winter Snow, Peach Blossom-"

Every girl who came to the point bent down to say goodbye, the girls were very panicked, they had never seen such a big posture, and the murderous men in the afterlife rushed in more than thirty secret guards, all of whom were holding cold steel knives, and dismissed all the guests without saying anything.

The old bustards of the previous families were all frightened, why this one was so calm, Xiao Qian judged that there were two possibilities, the first was that she had seen a big scene, and the second was that she was so calm because she was too nervous, and it was normal to show a little panic, so Jin'er was very likely to hide here.

Xiao Qian asked: "This old bustard, the girl in the portrait is called Jin'er, have you seen her?" ”

"I haven't seen it, I've seen so many girls, if I did, I would definitely have an impression."

"If any of you have seen the Jin'er girl in the portrait, the one who provides the clue will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. I'm here to help her, and I have to find her first, so you can tell me where she's going to get the bounty. ”

All the girls bowed their heads. Only a few girls secretly glanced at their mother, obviously they didn't dare to talk nonsense, so Xiao Qian was even more sure that Jin'er should be hiding here, but this old bustard was trying his best to protect Jin'er.

"We have a lot of girls here. There is no one named Jin'er, are you in the wrong place? ”

"Do you know me? What do the girls here call you? ”

"It's good if you call me Mother Liu, presumably you are the princess of Anguo, you can command the secret guard of the world except for the emperor, there is only you, the princess."

"Are you the owner of this shop or is the owner someone else?"

"It's been more than 20 years since the store was opened, and I've never met the owner himself. The princess had searched the place, and since she couldn't find anyone, she was not here. I'm just doing business here, and I'm still doing business, the princess is kind and noble, you shouldn't disturb the people, right? ”

Xiao Qian smiled kindly. Said sincerely: "You are very courageous, it's useless to bring me a top hat, I have a wire to report that she has appeared here, she can't disappear out of thin air as a big living person, I know you are protecting her." I have the same purpose as you, please trust me. I promise that I will never hurt her, she is my friend, and it will be safer for me to protect her. ”

The room was quiet and you could hear the sound of needles falling to the ground, so quiet! Xiao Qian had clearly felt that Mother Liu was a little shaken.

"I—really—don't know—what the princess is talking about?"

Liu's mother was obviously flustered, but she still refused to cooperate.

"I've said it all the time, and you still don't believe it. I would like to ask you, do you have any trusted friends? ”

"My mother Liu has lived for most of her life, and she never trusts anyone, and the person you trust the most will betray you, not to mention that I don't know the princess's personality at all."

Mother Liu's back was full of sweat, and her palms were full of cold sweat, and she tried her best to control herself not to be nervous. "There is really no one the public wants to look for here, there must be a mistake in the wire report, they see that the person should be Peach Blossom, they look a little similar."

"Since you haven't seen her, how do you know what she looks like? You're lying! ”

"I--I just looked at the portrait and thought this girl looked like a peach blossom."

Xiao Qian ordered sharply, "You don't have to quibble and cover up, search me carefully again!" ”

As a result, there was still no half of Jin'er's figure.

Xiao Qian's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Let me ask you one last time, where is the person?" ”

"No, if you don't believe me, kill me, kill all the girls here." Mother Liu's hands couldn't help but clench into fists, she had already put life and death away.

"Mother Liu, you shouldn't use the radical method, because you don't know me, you made a wrong decision." The woman snorted, her tone a little cold and stern.

Xiaoqian is helpless, since it doesn't make sense, she can only come hard, she has to pretend to be a bad person.

A smile spread across the woman's face, dangerous and evil, "Are you sure you ruined all the girls here in order to defend one girl?" Very well, lock the door, bring a few jars of good wine and break them all. ”

The Dark Guard moved quickly and resolutely, breaking several jars of wine and spilling them on the ground in an instant.

"I'm sorry I didn't have much patience tonight because I was in a bad mood all of a sudden. Mother Liu, you could have saved her, but you killed her with your own hands. Sprinkle all the wine on the ground, I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, and in a quarter of an hour there will be thirty-four charred corpses here, no! I miscounted thirty-five charred corpses, one of which was Jin'er, and I can assure you that I will not leave after setting the fire, and will wait until dawn to count the corpses. You hand her over, I'm just going to ask her a few questions, and then send a few more guards to protect her. You insist on not cooperating, there is only one explanation, Jin'er is the murderer, is it worth it for you to cover up the murderer and die so unjustly! Mother Liu, think about it and start the timer! ”

Xiao Qian is most afraid of dealing with this kind of stubborn person who doesn't eat hard and soft, and can't listen to persuasion, so he can only make ruthless moves.

All the girls were so frightened that they fell to their knees and sobbed, and one of them, a thin girl, shrugged her shoulders and cried out, "Princess, spare your life!" I knew she was hiding there, she was hiding in the tunnels. I'll take you! ”
