Zhao Han shouted with a hideous face: "What you said has nothing to do with me, anyway, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone." ”

Di Renjie said to Zhang Nian: "Lord Zhang, do you know why I guessed that he was going to assassinate this lady of the Wang family? ”

Zhang Nian guessed some, but there was still some confusion in his mind. He said: "Please also ask your lord to solve the doubts of the lower officials." ”

Di Renjie said: "After I looked at the body of the woman who was assassinated not long ago, I recorded her physical characteristics and clothing in detail. I then visited the families of several other women killed during the three years, and asked them in detail about their circumstances before their deaths, and found that they had a lot in common.

First, these women are all about 40 years old, slightly fat, fair-skinned, and of medium to tall stature.

Second, they all like to wear light blue clothes on the outside and purple satin clothes on the inside. ”

There were clear rules on the color of dress in the Tang Dynasty: all officials above the third rank would use purple; Above the fifth fret is crimson; The sixth and seventh grades are green; The eighth and ninth grades are cyan; The common people generally wear white or light gray; Merchants and pariahs wear black.

The color of women's clothes in the Tang Dynasty followed the status of their husbands, and their children followed their parents.

However, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

The color of clothing prescribed by the imperial court refers to the part that is worn on the outside, that is, the man's robe and the woman's skirt, etc., but you don't care what color clothes people wear inside.

Everyone has a love for beauty. Therefore, women often wear clothes of other colors to show their beauty and wealth.

The lady of the Wang family in front of her was wearing a light gray skirt on the outside, and the front chest was close to the neck, but the purple satin clothes with a large area inside were exposed.

When Di Renjie said this, Zhang Nian suddenly realized, he said: "Lord Qincha, the lower officials are really stupid, why didn't they associate these together?"

Xia Guan understood that the characteristics of the murderer's stepmother's body and dress were similar to those of this Wang lady, so he would come to assassinate her. In this way, those who were killed before were hated by this murderer because of these characteristics, and they were brutally killed. ”

Di Renjie said: "Yes, that's exactly why. Therefore, we asked the lady of the Wang family to deliberately walk in a conspicuous place on the street to attract the attention of the murderer and provoke him to take action, so that he could be caught on the spot. ”

After speaking, he said to the lady of the Wang family: "Thank you, lady." ”

The middle-aged woman smiled, quite charming. She saluted and said: "The nephew of the slave family serves the prince, and the slave family should do these things." "He is a dependant of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army brought by Di Renjie and others, and he lives outside the county seat and does not often show up in the county seat.

One of the soldiers also said, "Serve the prince, you should be." ”

Di Renjie said: "After I go back, I will report to the prince and reward you for your merits." ”

The soldiers and middle-aged women saluted Di Renjie together.

When Zhang Nian saw this scene, he realized that Di Renjie was not the unfamiliar and sophisticated he had shown before, but very sophisticated. People are here to handle the case, but they just don't want others to find out.

However, there are still some aspects of the case that he does not understand. He asked: "This Zhao Han's stepmother has abused him since he was a child, isn't he already taking revenge by killing his stepmother?" Why kill so many women who resemble their stepmothers? ”

Di Renjie said: "The county magistrate is right, at the beginning, I also had doubts about this. Later, I figured out that there was only one reason why the murderer would do this, and that was that the murderer was not able to kill his stepmother with his own hands.

Zhao Han has lived in hatred since he was a child, he wants to take revenge but can't do anything, he looks forward to the ability to take revenge when he grows up, so he endures humiliation and lives with difficulty. But what he didn't expect was that before he could grow up, his stepmother would have died.

In this case, you can imagine how aggrieved he is in his heart. So, he turned his revenge to women who had similar characteristics to his stepmother. ”

"I see." Zhang Yan and the others suddenly realized.

Wang Bantou admired Di Renjie and others so much that he threw himself to the ground. However, he still had a question, and he said, "Lord Qincha, can the villain ask a question?" ”

Di Renjie nodded and said, "You ask." ”

Wang Bantou said: "Zhao Han is a very shrewd person, and he is familiar with criminal law. He had only committed a crime once in a long time before, and then disappeared, which shows that he was also a cautious person. Why did he commit the crime again in such a short period of time after the murder he had just killed? Isn't he clearly dangerous? ”

Di Renjie said: "This is easy to explain. After he killed the first or second woman, he should have had the idea of quitting, thinking that he had already taken revenge.

However, the long-term depression of his childhood tormented him like a nightmare all the time, and it was not because he killed one or a few women that could be eliminated. Coupled with the fact that he didn't really kill his stepmother, the resentment in his heart can't be eliminated. Therefore, when he meets a similar woman, he can't help but kill the killer again.

As for why he dared to commit crimes against the wind. In addition to the above reasons, there is another important reason, that is, in the realm of Wuwei, it is not easy for a woman who completely meets the same characteristics as his stepmother to appear.

Therefore, although he knew that the risk was extremely high, when he saw the lady of the Wang family, he still couldn't help but kill the killer.

There may be other reasons as well. For example, he has committed many crimes, and he has a fluke mentality in his heart. The government's long-term inability to solve the case also made him very confident, thinking that the government had no way to deal with him, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Especially when he heard that the imperial court had come to the minister, he had an urge to challenge the government. These are incomprehensible to normal people, but for a person like him, who is extremely psychologically distorted, it is full of pleasure. ”

"I see. The adults are really gods, and the villains have seen it. Wang Bantou said admiringly.

Zhao Han had been listening to Di Renjie and the others, and at the beginning, his body had already gone limp. Later, however, he regained his senses. He said: "Lord Qincha, the grass people are wronged, these are your guesses, you said that the grass people did it, what evidence do you have?" ”

Di Renjie smiled: "Do you want a certificate?" Okay, I'll give it to you. ”

After speaking, he called over to the lady of the Wang family and whispered in her ear for a while. The lady of the Wang family nodded and walked towards Zhao Han.

Seeing the lady of the Wang family approaching, Zhao Han began to get nervous, and the two servants who pressed him clearly felt his struggle.

The lady of the Wang family walked up to Zhao Han, stared at his eyes, stretched out her hand and pointed at his nose and said, "You sinister seed, waste, and cheap billet ......" She was humiliated, and she said anything unpleasant.

At the beginning, Zhao Han was still sane, but he quickly collapsed.

He roared hoarsely, "You wicked woman, I will kill you, kill you!" ”

Zhao Han struggled to pounce on the lady of the Wang family, and in a fit of rage, his not strong body burst out with great strength, and the two servants almost couldn't hold him down.

Di Renjie said to Zhang Nian: "Lord Zhang, this case will be handed over to you!" After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.

Zhang Nian said: "Please rest assured, the rest of the matter will be handed over to the lower officials." Greetings to adults, adults go slowly. ”

Not long after, Zhang Nian came to see Di Renjie and the others with the dossier, and he said excitedly: "Lord Qincha, Zhao Han has fully explained the course of the case, which is basically the same as your analysis. Xia Guan really admires it. ”

The news of the serial murder case in Wuwei County quickly spread throughout the entire Liangzhou area, and Di Renjie and others became famous.

Chang'an City.

Li You received the report and said with a smile: "Di Renjie is really a character, worthy of a generation of famous faces. It seems that the historical record is still true. ”

The outstanding performance of Di Renjie and others in Wuwei caused quite a stir in Chang'an City with the report of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion to Shangshu Province.

When His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest recommended Di Renjie and others, Guozijian and Taixue, Law and other students, including their teachers, were a little skeptical about their ability. Now they are very envious of Di Renjie and others for being able to make contributions to the imperial court.

The right servant shoots the house.

Chu Suiliang said with emotion: "The eldest grandson, I really can't imagine that Di Renjie and others are so powerful at a young age, and in terms of recommending talents, the minister really admires His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said, "I have long found out that this Highness is a bit of a demon, and we should be more careful in our actions in the future." ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Xia Guan has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Chu Yanchong, the second son of Xia Guan, is friends with Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia, and they have a close relationship on weekdays. Since Di Renjie and others can serve as Qincha as students, Chu Yanchong can also go with them to handle the case. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji understood what he meant, he wanted to train his children, and at the same time put his own eyes and ears around Di Renjie and the others. He said with a smile: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and being able to actually get in touch with cases is of great benefit to improving children's abilities." That's a great idea! ”

Chu Suiliang said: "After all, Di Renjie and the others are sent by the imperial court, and this matter still needs to be fulfilled by you." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "This matter is easy, tomorrow morning, I will go and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

"Thank you, Eldest Sun Xianggong." Chu Suiliang arched his hand and said.

The eldest grandson Wuji took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Is there any news from Taishan?" ”
