Chapter 50: The Motive for the Killing
In the face of Zhao Hongxing's shameful questioning, this envoy said, which prince came to supervise and handle the case is not as cowardly as you, after people came, they all walked into the scene of the crime, and investigated the scene while listening to the case report.
Like Zhao Hongxing, standing outside the scene of the crime and rubbing the prince of Yanfeng who had not entered for almost a stick of incense, this was the first time he had seen him.
"Your Highness, do you want to go in and have a look now?" the envoy asked silently, although he muttered in his heart.
"Well, go in and have a look. "The corpse is not there, Zhao Hongxing doesn't feel so terrible. Although the place where the dead are killed, there are so many people here in broad daylight, and it is not terrifying.
As he walked into the courtyard, the envoy began to reintroduce the case. He instructed this prince, His Royal Highness, and he must have not listened to anything just now.
The only man living in this small courtyard is a bachelor, his parents died a few years ago, and he has not yet married. The man was found yesterday at noon, because he didn't go to work, so the person in charge of the workplace came to see what was going on with him.
When the person in charge arrived, the door of the small courtyard was locked from the inside, and no one responded when the person in charge tapped the door. After feeling that something was wrong, the person in charge called the soldiers of the patrol battalion and the neighbor who knew the deceased, smashed the door and rushed into the house to see that this guy had fallen to the ground on his back and had died of exhaustion. The soldiers of the patrol battalion who were present came forward to inspect and found that this guy's trachea was broken and he was choked to death by his own blood.
When he came to the door of the room where the deceased lived, he pointed to the figure on the ground surrounded by strips of cloth and said, "When the deceased was found, he lay on his back at the door. It is estimated that the perpetrator killed the deceased at the moment when he opened the door. ”
"Hmm. Zhao Hongxing looked at the strips of cloth on the ground and nodded pretendedly. In his previous life, he had read a few books and TV series related to solving cases, but that didn't matter what it was, when it came to the real murder scene, he didn't have any clue in his head at all.
"Is there anything wrong?" Zhao Hongxing then asked pretendingly.
"After an autopsy by the coroner in the penal department, it was learned that the deceased's throat had been shattered by a blow. "Zhao Hongxing asked, this envoy answered, "The technique was clean and neat, the deceased didn't have time to struggle and resist at all, and even choked out a small amount of blood from his mouth and nose, and drowned." ”
What the envoy said was confirmed by the two coroners present.
"So?" Zhao Hongxing didn't hear anything wrong.
Therefore, according to the lower officials, the perpetrator should have hit the deceased on the head first, until the deceased was dizzy, and then smashed, crushing the deceased's throat, breaking the throat and causing massive bleeding, and finally choking the deceased to death. The envoy then replied.
"This ......" Zhao Hongxing still didn't hear anything wrong.
"This means that the perpetrator is actually a master, right?" For a martial arts idiot like Zhao Hongxing, he really didn't hear any problems, but Le Aya behind him really couldn't hold back, and then said: "It's really strange for a martial arts master to kill an unarmed ordinary person." ”
"Well, yes, that's weird. Zhao Hongxing said shamelessly along with Le Aya's words.
"That means that this is a martial arts master's show-off skill to kill people?" Hongyi also expressed his opinion, "In order to show off how fast and neat his killing methods are, I used to kill this deceased person to prove it." ”
"Well, it's possible, maybe it's a killer organization that is reviewing the new killers, and that guy is killing people like this" Zhao Hongxing finally thought of a possibility in Hongyi's opinion.
"Well, it's not impossible. The envoy directly denied Zhao Hongxing's idea, but said very tactfully: "Judging from the previous two murder cases, the murder methods are very consistent, and it can be basically determined that these three cases were committed by the same person." It's just that, on the other hand, it may not really be a killer in order to pass the test. ”
"What evidence?" Zhao Hongxing then asked.
"Your Highness, these three who died are all people who work in the Ministry of Rites. The envoy replied.
"Shhh
Zhao Hongxing's breath of cool air was just for show, even if the victims were all from the Ministry of Rites, what could he do? He didn't react for a while.
But in order not to lose face, Zhao Hongxing still thought hard about it. Unexpectedly, after this brainstorm, he really found a problem.
"It's all from the Ministry of Rites, when this murderer committed the crime, he specially selected candidates, only targeting specific groups of people?" Zhao Hongxing finally didn't have to pretend when he asked the question this time.
"That's right, Your Highness. The envoy hurriedly said: "Moreover, although these three people are all people who do rough work in the Ministry of Rites, the killing of three people in a row still has a bad impact. ”
"Whoever works for the Ministry of Rites is likely to die at home?" Zhao Hongxing tried to guess what the impact would be.
"Yes, Your Highness. The envoy was surprised for a moment, Zhao Hongxing suddenly rushed to answer, and then said: "Now the Ministry of Rites is preparing for the wedding ceremony of His Royal Highness the eldest prince, and as a result, as soon as these three cases came out, they almost scared away more than half of the people. ”
The envoy smiled bitterly, "Although it is important to make money, no one wants to have a life to earn and spend without a life." ”
Only then did Zhao Hongxing understand why Zhao Zongyang had to send a prince to supervise and investigate the case, because the case was ostensibly a homicide case, but in fact, someone was targeting Zhao Hongming's wedding ceremony. The Ministry of Rites was originally the department with the smallest number of people among the Yanfeng Ministries, and when there was really something important, it would often recruit civilians to fight. But if the people feel that if they work for the Ministry of Rites, their lives will definitely be in danger, then no one will dare to go to the Ministry of Rites to do things.
And if the wedding ceremony of the eldest prince is delayed because of the lack of people to do things, then Yan Fengke will lose the adult.
Zhao Zongyang sent Zhao Hongxing to investigate the case, but he really didn't expect him to solve the case, if he really wanted to point to the princes to solve the case, let Zhao Hongwei be more reliable than him. Zhao Zongyang just wanted him to intervene in the case as the prince and send a message to the people - the royal family attaches great importance to this matter, and everyone does not need to be overly afraid of the perpetrators.
Although Zhao Hongxing felt that he could not speed up the speed of solving the case, at least he made his attitude clear on behalf of the royal family. At least the people who worked for the Ministry of Rites today were not completely gone, and after all, they were maintained at a point where they were barely enough.
But in the final analysis, as long as the murderer has not been caught now, then he still has a chance to continue killing. When the murderer killed another person next time, Zhao Hongxing didn't know if his identity as a prince was still reliable.
"Have you checked the crowd of onlookers at the scene of this crime? After Zhao Hongxing thought about it, he asked the envoy.
"No, I don't. The envoy was stunned by Zhao Hongxing's question, "Why did Your Highness ask this?"
"You see, the guy who committed the murder is a master of martial arts, and when he kills, he deliberately uses a show-off killing technique. Zhao Hongxing began to pretend to analyze, "This guy must want to show off to others when he does this, so do you think he will come back after killing people, and listen to whether anyone at the scene praises him and kills people cleanly?"
After listening to Zhao Hongxing's analysis, Ling looked at him with a very strange expression, feeling that what he said seemed to be a little interesting, but he also felt that it didn't seem to be like that.
Zhao Hongxing is not blindly analyzing here, he is combining a large number of stories from various previous lives, TV series, movies and stand-up comedy. In these works of art, there are often perverts who have to return to the scene after killing people to see if their murderous methods have caused trouble to the people handling the case.
This kind of analysis, Zhao Hongxing remembers calling it "crime scene psychological traces" analysis, which can be regarded as having a scientific (self-admitted) basis.
The envoy blinked his eyes, and finally called the head of the patrol battalion and several officials of the criminal department, and asked them to spread out and interrogate all the onlookers at the scene, and if they found anyone who could do something, they would be tied up immediately.
Regardless of whether Zhao Hongxing was talking nonsense or not, this was the prince's opinion after all, and the envoy still sent someone to implement it.
Of course, what everyone didn't think about was that soon, there would be a harvest outside.
Zhao Hongxing was imagining himself as Sherlock Holmes in the yard, rummaging in the corners for clues that "might be useful". As a result, less than a cup of tea had passed, and there was a shouting outside.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier from the patrol battalion ran in and reported: "There is a suspicious person who seriously injured the two soldiers who were being interrogated and fled out!"
After listening, Zhao Hongxing and Ling Envoy were both stunned face to face.
"Is this okay!?" they both thought in their hearts.
"Your Highness, the lower official is going to arrest the villains and take his leave!" the envoy gave a salute and ran out.
Zhao Hongxing felt that he should also chase him out at this time, because according to the temper of his elder brothers, in this case, they would definitely take action to catch people in person.
But he didn't dare, that was a murderer, and he was strong in martial arts after killing three people in a row, so what if he was slaughtered after catching up?
Don't dare, but Zhao Hongxing is still very curious about what this hunting scene looks like.
"I'll go up and see what's going on, you two are waiting for me here. After speaking, as soon as Zhao Hongxing turned over, he jumped on the roof of the house in this small courtyard, and stood on a high place to see how the patrol battalion was arresting.
As a result, as soon as Zhao Hongxing appeared on the roof, the people gathered in a circle below recognized him.
"Is that His Royal Highness?"
"Which prince is this?"
"I don't know, I don't look old. ”
"He looks very energetic, and he really deserves to be a member of the royal family. ”
"Well, that's good. ”
At the beginning, these people were just whispering to His Royal Highness the Prince, who was rarely seen, but I don't know who started to take the lead and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince is going to arrest the murderer with his own hands!"
It didn't matter if someone took the lead, all the onlookers began to chant along, followed by words of praise such as "His Royal Highness the Prince's bravery", "His Royal Highness the Prince's ability to fight well", and "His Royal Highness the Prince's good appearance".
Standing on a high place, there was a group of people holding themselves loudly at the bottom, this feeling of being admired made Zhao Hongxing feel a little inflated. He felt a rush of hot blood rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and the serial murderer who had scared him a little just now felt as if he didn't have anything to fear.
"Wait, I'll go!"
Zhao Hongxing responded loudly to the shouts of the crowd, raised his leg and chased in the direction of the murderer's escape.
