Chapter 496: Tracking

Now that Xiaodao Zhou is dead, Sister-in-law Zhou no longer hides it, and tells her what has happened in the past few days.

The purification technique of the knife week is also superb in the hands of the Jingshi knife, and it can be received from the palace business all year round, and more people are seeking progress from the palace, and the business is very prosperous.

Earlier this year, Xiaodao Zhou suddenly had a heavy heart, and for a while he happily told his wife that he was going to make a fortune, and then he sighed at home for a long time before explaining Zhou's sister-in-law's heart, and asked him why, but he refused to say.

Seven days ago, Xiaodao Zhou went out a few times, and the next few days stayed at home to rest, just as the Beijing division began to strictly investigate the case of abduction and castration of young children, Zhou's sister-in-law saw her husband nested at home and was relieved, so as not to go out to cause trouble.

Just had breakfast this morning, a Mr. Wu who I knew before came to the door with two other people, that baby Wu's expression was very abnormal, as if he was afraid of the two people around him, Xiaodao Zhou didn't want to go with them, but Mr. Wu whispered a few words, Xiaodao Zhou finally went out with them.

Sister-in-law Zhou saw that her man's expression was wrong, and she faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart, and when everyone came to the door, she knew that her husband had been killed.

Huang Jiashan is also a veteran of criminal names among the officials who were born in Jinshi, and when he saw Qin Lin being angry with the big yellow dog, he secretly laughed, so he asked his sister-in-law this week first: "Your husband said he wants to get rich?" Who is in charge of your family's money, and where do you put it? Sister-in-law Zhou wiped her tears and whimpered: "It's Lao Zhouguan, I don't usually ask, but there is a small box hidden in the kang cave, everything is inside, and the key is in Lao Zhou's hand." ”

What keys do you care about at this time? The catchers searched out the box from the kang hole, and directly used the waist knife to pick the lock, and the two chains of horseshoe gold in the box suddenly dazzled people's eyes.

Yikes! Sister-in-law Zhou covered her mouth in surprise.

In addition to horseshoe gold, there is also a stack of ten taels and twenty taels of tickets, about seven or eight taels of broken silver, and three copper coins, with a total value of about one hundred taels of silver, which is the original belongings of Xiaodao Zhou.

Observing the words, Huang Jiashan understood a little, pointed to the gold and asked, "These two ingots of red gold were not originally your family's things, right?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhou was quite honest, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

At this point, there is a basic eyebrow in the case, a certain gang invited Xiaodao Zhou to do one thing for them, and the two chains of gold paid in advance are the deposit, which is not a small risk, so Xiaodao Zhou is happy for the money in hand, and he is frightened and sighs for a long time, this morning "Mr. Wu" in this gang took someone to call away Xiaodao Zhou, and took him to the place south of Luoma City to kill and throw the corpse into the well, until the body was found by the beggar's castration and dysentery at four o'clock (half past two).

According to Zhou's sister-in-law's confession, it is very likely that "Mr. Wu" was coerced, so there may be another group of people who have a conflict with the gang to which "Mr. Wu" belongs, that is, they killed Xiaodao Zhou.

As for why others would give Xiaodao Zhou two chains of gold, and what exactly did he want him to do, with Xiaodaozhou's professional identity and the time approaching September 19, the conclusion has been revealed.

"It seems that the group of people who gave the knife Zhou gold, the young children we haven't found yet are very likely to be in their hands!" Huang Jiashan made a conclusion.

Qin Lin teased the big yellow dog, and at the same time listened to Huang Jiashan's inquiry about Zhou's sister-in-law.

He knows more than Huang Jiashan, if "Mr. Wu" is really kidnapped and looks like he is looking for Xiaodao Zhou, the group of people who kidnapped him can basically definitely kill Xiaodao Zhou's people, that is, the people led by the White Lotus Sect's right envoy Ai Kuchan!

Why did Ai Kuzen come into conflict with the gang that abducted and castrated young children? Could it be that the White Lotus Sect went north this time, and the masters poured out of the nest not to oppose the imperial court, but for another reason?

When Qin Lin was thinking, Huang Jiashan continued to interrogate Sister-in-law Zhou, trying to check from the line of "Mr. Wu", but the result was very disappointing, Sister-in-law Zhou didn't know the real identity and address of Mr. Wu at all, and even whether his real surname was Wu couldn't be determined, but he just heard her husband call him that.

"What shall I do, that the dead cannot speak?" Huang Jiashan fell to his feet and wrinkled his head.

"Brother Huang, although the dead can't speak, maybe Rhubarb will find the murderer for us." Qin Lin suddenly said this. ,

Only then did everyone notice that the commander of the brocade guard had been squatting on the ground silently, and the big yellow dog that was barking at him just now had already landed on his back and was lying on all fours, obediently exposing his belly for him to scratch.

It was true that this big yellow dog was not a professionally trained police dog, but Qin Lin noticed that it showed the greatest hostility towards himself and Lu Yuanzhi at the beginning, and it was obvious that it smelled the bloody breath belonging to its owner from the two visitors who had dissected the knife week.

A dog's sense of smell is hundreds or thousands of times more sensitive than a human, and even if it is an inconspicuous earth dog, the nose is equivalent to a precision instrument.

So Qin Lin took out his unique ability to train dogs, thinking that the black back he brought from the police dog base back then was much more fierce than this big yellow dog, and Qin Lin didn't have half a day to call it obedient! To deal with this earth dog, one bluff, two scares and three tickles, and two times five divided by two will be cleaned up.

Leading the big yellow dog to the well, it sniffed the well in confusion, and then barked wildly, pulling the rope of the dog straight.

Qin Lin squatted down and patted its head, whispered a few words next to the dog's ear, and the dog whined, as if he understood.

The people hadn't dispersed yet, and when they saw that the commander of the Jinyi Guard just now brought another dog over, and talked to the dog, they all felt strange: "It's terrible, this chief will dissect the corpse for a while, and then lead the dog again, this famous hall can be incomprehensible." ”

But seeing Qin Lin standing up, the big yellow dog swooped out, pulling the rope straight, Qin Lin also withdrew his legs and ran behind, running so that the wingless black yarn fell, or Niu vigorously picked it up for him, and a group of Jinyi captains followed behind.

The murder case hasn't been solved yet, is Chief Qin in the mood to mess around with the dog? People looked at each other.

"Catch up!" Huang Jiashan beckoned, feeling that Qin Lin must have a deep meaning in doing this.

The big yellow dog pulled Qin Lin and ran straight to the front of a half-collapsed house, barking at the door.

Everyone panted and caught up, and couldn't help laughing when they saw this, isn't this private house the first scene of Xiaodao Zhou's murder? Qin Lin dragged the blood drops over just now, and he was dragged over by the dog again, what does it mean?

The big yellow dog spun around frantically, and pointed inward with one of its front paws towards the door.

Qin Lin patted the dog's head and pulled the dog's ears again: "Rhubarb, rhubarb, it's not here, we're looking for the bad guy who killed your master, can you find him for us?" ”

The fat man burst out laughing and muttered, "Brother Qin, the dog can't understand your words." ”

"Nonsense, rhubarb is more obedient than you." Qin Lin patted the dog's head and glared at the fat man.

The lieutenants burst into laughter, and the fat man made a fuss.

The big yellow dog really seemed to understand, and ran to the other side, pulling Qin Lin for a short two miles, everyone was so tired that he was panting, but the dog was getting more and more excited, sticking out his tongue, and his wet nose was also very fast to inhale the air, sniffing and abandoning the smell.

From time to time, you can see filthy wild dogs, rotten coffin boards and rotten straw mats everywhere, and where the rain washes away, there are faint bones in the mud.

"Wang, Wang!" The big yellow dog barked at a depression.

There, there was a human head and bloody clothing!

When a catcher saw the head, he immediately shouted: "Knife week!" ”

At this time, no one doubts the role of the big yellow dog, but finding the head and bloody clothes of Xiaodao Zhou doesn't seem to be of much help to solve the case! Several Jinyi lieutenants and officials jointly inspected and found no clues with clear indicative value for solving the case.

"Rhubarb is the most well-behaved." Qin Lin scratched the dog and asked it again, "Do you know where the murderer ran away?" Let's find him and avenge your master. ”

But this time, the big yellow dog hesitated and circled around Knife Zhou's head and bloody clothes.

Huang Jiashan admired Qin Lin very much, and persuaded beside him: "It's good to be able to find bloody clothes and human heads, it's just a dog, after all, it's ......."

Before he could finish speaking, the big yellow dog ran towards the spur again, and at first ran slower, but then ran faster and faster!

The big yellow dog is not a professionally trained police dog, the front from the well to find the first scene, and then from the first scene to find the place where the bloody clothes and human heads are thrown, between these places are the murderer carrying the corpse stained with the blood of the deceased, human heads, bloody clothes and other things back and forth, so there is a strong breath can lead the way for the big yellow dog.

When it came to the mass grave, the murderer had already abandoned the corpse, human head, bloody clothes and other things, and left empty-handed, the breath was greatly weakened, and the identification of the big yellow dog was much more difficult than before.

But Qin Lin believes that no matter how powerful a master is, he is not a god, since he is running around with corpses, bloody clothes and other things, it is inevitable that he will get bloodstains, as long as he can let the big yellow dog chase and look for it, he will definitely be able to find clues!

As for the murderer's change of clothes and causing Rhubarb to lose his target, it is possible if it is another case, but the analysis of the criminal behavior in the previous stage of this case concluded that the murderer's behavior appeared to be very anxious and urgent, so it is very unlikely that he took the time to change his clothes.

In other words, the big yellow dog can chase it all the time!

After running between the mass graves for a while, and returning to the south-facing road, Qin Lin noticed that there were some horse manure and messy horseshoe prints that had not yet dried up.

After waiting for a while, the captains brought the horses, Qin Lin, Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali and ten pro-soldier captains got on their horses one after another, Huang Jiashan was also going, Qin Lin waved his hand: "Huang County Order, this official does not have many people, you are a civil official, and there are a lot of enemies, so please go back and inform Hong Yangshan, the Fusi of Beizhen, and quickly send a large number of elite soldiers to respond, I will leave marks along the way!" ”
