There were not many flaws that could be excavated in the house, and the head catcher, with a large number of people, began to review the streets and alleys where the housekeepers often walked between the house and the governor's yamen.

Since Qinghefang is a well-known commercial area, there is a dense flow of people on weekdays, so they put more of their experience on other roads besides Qinghefang, as well as the clues on the surrounding remote roads and abandoned houses.

However, after a whole day of tossing, the two missing people were not found, but two gangs of abduction and trafficking of young children and girls were turned out. However, one of them claimed to be doing things for the flag camp, and they naturally didn't dare to go to the flag camp to testify, so they simply let things go, but they also sent people to keep an eye on them - Uncle Banner Man, they didn't dare to provoke it, but if this backer was made up, he dared to do such a hurtful thing in their land, especially if he dared not to give them benefits, they were all loose in eighteen weapons, but none of them were not proficient in the torture tools in the torture room!

A day's work is wasted, and there will be more and more traces of such clues in the past day. Back in Yamen, it is said that it was Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, who was furious and slapped the table. There is a life on it, and within two days, if you can't find a clue, you will pull down one by one to hit the board.

And, it's counted today!

Shangfeng strictly ordered, and they had to shake their spirits, especially Qinghefang was still within the jurisdiction of their Qiantang County, so they had to mobilize those underworld figures such as the city fox society rat and even the heroes who came ashore with one foot, and used all kinds of connections to conduct a thorough inventory of the entire area. It seemed that the efforts were to find out what time the people along the route slept until the morning of September 18, whether they had morning erections, what they ate in the morning, and how many grains of rice were in their breakfast.

For a time, Qiantang County was jumping in the alleys of the city, and a lot of scum could be turned out every day and thrown into prison, which can be regarded as a rectification of the local public security situation. Unexpectedly, in the following day, they still didn't find the existence of those two guys, as if they disappeared from the city out of thin air, which really made them scratch their heads.

On the third day, when I entered the yamen, I paid the most attention to the cultivation of qi on weekdays, and the county lord, who had always been amiable, rarely scolded them, and scolded them so much that it was unimaginably ugly. Immediately afterwards, there was a board, but it was the people from the governor's yamen who came to beat it personally, and the beating was a ghost crying and howling.

Dragging their aching buttocks, the headhunters once again embark on a journey to track down the murderer. This time, however, it was only at noon that they received a report that it was in a dry well in Qinghefang, and that some of the stench of decay had come out of the past two days.

The group of catchers went straight there, and the corpse was quickly fished out, and looking at the clothes, it was the housekeeper and the housekeeper. However, an incredible answer was generated in their minds, and with the post-mortem examination, this answer was further confirmed.

"This corpse has been dead for at least two days. In other words, the housekeeper and the housekeeper were not killed on September 18 at all, but died on September 17! ”

This answer shocked everyone present. It is undeniable that such an answer is really not believable, but it is precisely such an answer, and the doubts from earlier can be explained, just like the corpse in front of them, which is clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes.

"It's not wrong to poison the housekeeper's dog and stun those people, the reason why they have to go to great lengths to tie up, blindfold, and even pour a lot of misty soup is to make these people sleep for a day, and the date of the first time cannot be confirmed......

In ancient times, the hour could be identified in a variety of ways, whether it was through tools, listening to the watch, or observing through experience. However, for the date, it is more necessary to record it through the rotation of day and night and the daily turning of the yellow calendar, and it is completely impossible to identify the date through mobile phones, watches, clocks, electronic calendars, and even computers, tablets and other uncountable tools like in later generations.

The murderer managed to put the men to sleep for a day, and even if they were awakened, they could not figure out in the first place whether they were awakened that day or night, or whether they would not wake up until the next day. This problem often occurs in patients who are injured and unconscious. In such a situation, even in the case of being imprisoned pending trial, there is a possibility that you will never be able to realize the difference!

"The key reason why the murderer refuses to kill the others in the same way that he killed the housekeeper and the housekeeper is that the corpse does not speak, but the person can easily identify the date and time of death through anomalies such as corpse spots and the degree of decomposition. The dog was poisoned with arsenic, and the exact time of death is difficult to identify. To be exact, they killed the housekeeper and the housekeeper on the way back on September 17, and before that, they had already started the crime against Wang Jiang's mansion! ”

A person who has deceived the victim and the investigator at the same time, the murderer has gone to such great lengths, and all he wants is to not be discovered in the first place, obviously in order to gain more time to escape.

One day may not be much, but it is enough for them to sail into the sea, into the deep mountains and old forests around Hangzhou, and hide in the remote and untouched wilderness of mountain villages. The government, as it had done a few days before, devoted its energies to the city and to the places that could be reached in an hour or two, and then slowly expanded, never reaching them. The rest of the time was all earned, and the later the government found out, the more difficult it was to find their traces.

In the lobby of the Qiantang County Ya, the head catcher made a detailed report to the magistrate, recalling those details, he was even more excited to praise this group of murderers in his chest, how could it be a tangled.

Such a shocking case and such a meticulous way of thinking were really something he had never learned in his career as a servant. In my heart, I will inevitably have a competitive spirit, but a few days have passed, and the sea fishing documents will be sent, and it is estimated that they will also be sent to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. It's almost impossible to catch it, and probably there is only one chance to clash once in this life.

"Wait, there are still some things that this official doesn't understand."

Just as the head catcher wants to report to him, he also has to report to the prefect of Hangzhou and even the governor of Zhejiang on the progress and results of this earth-shattering case. After thinking for a while, the more Zhixian thought about it, the more terrible he felt, swallowed his saliva, and then asked in a low voice to the catcher: "The two places where the crime occurred, Wang Jiang's mansion and the dry well, are all in Qinghefang. Qinghefang is the most crowded place, no matter what you do, you will be watched by many pairs of eyes, how do they do it without knowing it? ”

This is indeed a question, and it is a crucial one. Fortunately, the head catcher had already thought clearly, and when the magistrate asked about it, he replied: "Dare to ask the county honor, do you remember that on the afternoon of September 16, there were rumors in the city that the Eight Banners Army would return to the city on September 17?" ”

This matter has been confirmed to be a rumor, no one will care about this, at most those businessmen suffer some losses - the outsiders are too anxious, many businesses have not been negotiated, and the local stores are nothing more than selling goods for a few days, as long as there are millions of people in Hangzhou City, there is no big deal.

"Yes."

The magistrate nodded, and the head catcher said categorically: "On September 17, early in the morning, the shops in Qinghefang were closed, the merchants fled, and the streets were chaotic at first, and when these people ran away, there was only a mess and silence. No matter what time period it is, no one will notice these things. ”
