Chapter 162: Key Clues
"Divert our attention? In less than two days, we caught the real Guanzhong Liukou, and the so-called diversion of attention is simply delaying time......" Duan Fei didn't finish his words, and suddenly seemed to realize something and stopped talking.
"Lord Lu is right, it is indeed to divert attention. It's just that the mastermind behind the scenes didn't expect us to catch the real Guanzhong Liukou so quickly. Liang Yongren looked at Lu Sheng with admiring eyes.
"If it weren't for Lord Lu locking these five people in such a short period of time, it would have been impossible for us to find them from the vast sea of people in the entire Jinling City.
Without knowing the appearance and identity of the six Kou in Guanzhong, if we don't make a move next time, we won't be able to find it next year, so that we will be dragged by this case, and by the time we react, they have already wiped all traces clean. β
"So, something must have been caught by us...... What is it?" Duan Fei asked contemplatively.
"Mr. Qingfeng's series of exterminations!" Lu Sheng shouted conclusively.
However, this case is the real top priority, and the two cases of the Jin family and the Wu family have caused a lot of panic in Jinling City. Although we caught the six criminals in Guanzhong, it was not their case after all.
If the murderer strikes again, the panic in Jinling will form a wave of escape, which we absolutely will not allow to appear. Therefore, not only must Jinling's vigilance not be slackened, but must also be further strengthened. Lu Sheng, as long as you can solve the case as soon as possible, you can just say it with manpower and material resources. β
"I'll do my best! This case is different from the past, in the past, if the murderer killed someone with a purpose or a purpose, I could still trace it backwards according to the purpose and purpose.
But this time, if his purpose is just to distract us, then they are doing these two cases as a random operation.
Neither for the sake of silence nor vendetta, temporary crimes are the most difficult to lock down the murderer. β
"I understand it's difficult, but that doesn't justify telling the people, right?"
"The most important thing now is to stabilize the panic of the people, and the six Kou in Guanzhong should be beheaded as soon as possible to show the public. Although they have reformed in the past five years, what they did back then cannot be written off.
We have no right to forgive them, only those who have the right to forgive them. β
"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!"
Knock knock β suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
"My lord, there is a discovery!"
"Come in!" Shen Ling's voice landed, and Lu Jian slowly walked over with a tray in tow. In the middle of the tray, a silver needle sits along.
"Master Hou, my lords, this silver needle was found on the person who was killed in the Wu family. And all the people who were killed, including Miss Wu, had this silver needle on their bodies.
The silver needle penetrates the Yumen acupoint, which can make people unable to move, but the consciousness is still clear. This shows that so many people in Wu Mansion were killed when they were unable to move.
So the process we restored was deliberately arranged by the murderer, although we already knew that someone deliberately wanted to frame the six criminals in Guanzhong, but this discovery just proves the murderer's purpose. β
"Is there a clue on this silver needle?"
"There are not many famous masters who use silver needles as hidden weapons, but those hidden masters cannot be ruled out. But at least it can be concluded that the murderer is deliberately misleading us. β
"Got it, you keep searching for clues, and you can't let go of anything valuable. β
The two families were wiped out, and the entire Jinling City was panicked.
But suddenly, news came from the Jinling Mansion that the murderer who did the next two cases was found, and it was the Liukou of Guanzhong five years ago.
No one knows who the six Kou in Guanzhong are and the people of Jinling City, but they only care about the fact that the murderer has been found.
Hundreds of people flocked to the Yamen of Jinling Mansion.
The Yamen of Jinling Mansion should be said to have a low sense of presence in Jinling City. In other prefectures, the government is the highest administrative body. But in state capitals, that's a different story.
Among the state capitals, there are Taishou Mansion, and Daotai Mansion is above the state capital yamen. Although Jinling Mansion does not have a Taishou and no Taoist platform, it has a harder Nanling Palace.
Therefore, every year, the sense of existence of Jinling Mansion is to paste an announcement, report a decree, or pronounce a sentence on a few chickens and dogs.
Today is perhaps the day with the most attention in Jinling Mansion.
When many people rushed to Jinling Mansion, the prefect's verdict had already been handed down, and the six Kou in Guanzhong confessed to the crimes they had committed.
The death of the six Kou in Guanzhong stabilized the panicked hearts of the people. Especially the major wealthy businessmen, some of them are even planning to leave.
The loss of money is small, but the loss of the life of the whole family is big.
For two days, there were no similar cases. The frightened wealthy families finally put their hearts back in their stomachs.
In the heavy rain, Lu Sheng and the others quickly skimmed over the main street with umbrellas. Jinling City in the rain has more of a silent beauty.
"My lord, over hereβ" A Xuan Tianwei hurriedly guided Lu Sheng to the scene of the crime.
"When did you find out?"
"This morning! His wife found out that he had not returned all night last night, and this morning she found him dead in the room at the pawnshop. β
"What about the deceased?"
"Ke Ye, the pawnshop shopkeeper, is attached to Datong Qianzhuang. Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-seven years old and has been in the pawnshop business for 20 years.
His family lives on Dongxiao Street, three miles away from the pawnshop, so he goes home every day after closing. One wife and three children in the family. Compare your duties and be decent.
I don't have any enemies, and I don't have any friends. In addition to taking care of the pawnshop business, it is to stay at home with the family. β
Lu Sheng entered the pawnshop, and the air was still filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Husband, who has been cut by a thousand cuts...... I've hurt you...... You didn't close your eyes even when you died...... You're ...... What are we going to do......"
Lu Sheng frowned, "The one who cried was his wife?"
"Yes!"
"Why didn't the scene be cordoned off?"
"My lord, it's raining so hard, it's not easy for a woman. Moreover, the husband was killed, and we ......"
"Got it! I'll take a look!"
Lu Sheng walked into the inner hall, and Ke Ye's body was lying on the ground like this, with a knife stuck in his back, only the handle of the knife was exposed.
Judging from the traces of the body falling, he was stabbed in the back without knowing it, and then killed instantly.
"This lady, I know that you are very sad and sad now, but I still want to ask you to leave the scene for a while. We're going to scout the leads. Your husband was killed, and we will definitely find the murderer and give him justice. β
"Your Excellency...... You must help me...... Help my husband find the one who received a thousand cuts......"
"This official understands!" he said, ordering the woman to be taken away.
"Let's search and see if the murderer has left any clues?"
Xuantian Mansion is very professional, and it spreads out quickly, searching inch by inch.
"My lord, the room is very neat, there is no trace of being turned!"
"My lord, the container is also very neat, and there is no trace of passing. β
"There is no sign of the safe being pried open, and the money inside is neat. Theft can be ruled out ......"
"My lord, I found a secret compartment under the bed of the deceased, and there was an iron box inside. The lock was picked open and the contents were gone. β
"Bring the iron box over and I'll take a look!" Lu Sheng said, Xuan Tianwei held the iron box in front of Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng came to the side hall with the iron box, "Madam, do you know that there is a secret compartment under your husband's bed?"
"Know...... Know...... That compartment is the place where my husband keeps his ledger. My husband is very careful, and in the past 20 years, he has never missed a mistake or missed an account. β
"What does the murderer want his account book to do?" Lu Jian asked hesitantly.
"Maybe that's why he was killed, and if the ledger can be found, the case may be clear......"
"My lord, I still have one at home. Madame hurriedly stopped crying and said.
"Really?"
"Yes, my husband is very careful, not only does he do the accounts carefully, he comes home every day, and he will settle the accounts once a day, so that at home, he still keeps an account book......
"Great, quick, take us there!" Lu Sheng said hurriedly.
In the heavy rain, Lu Sheng took the two to Ke Ye's house, and Mrs. Ke Ye took out the account book from the room and handed it to Lu Sheng, "My lord, you must ...... it."
"Madam, don't worry, you wait at home first, and I will send someone to protect you secretly in the next few days. It is best for you and your family not to go out and not talk to strangers. β
Lu Sheng explained and rushed back to the pawnshop with the account book. and a group of Xuantianwei immediately checked.
After two hours of busy work, I finally found an account that could not be matched. Just three days ago, the pawnshop received a white jade unicorn for two thousand taels. That's a lot of money.
Now, the white jade unicorn is gone, and apparently the murderer has not only taken the account book, but also the white jade unicorn.
"My lord, there must be something special about this white jade unicorn. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the murderer to disdain so many valuable treasures in the pawnshop, but only took away the white jade qilin. β
Lu Sheng closed his eyes, and countless data were churning rapidly in his mind.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng opened his eyes violently, and the essence in his eyes burst out, "Lu Jian, I remember that among the stolen property of the Wu family is a white jade unicorn. This is the ancestral treasure of the Wu family, and almost all of his relatives know it. β
"What do you mean, that white jade unicorn belongs to the Wu family......? Otherwise, there is no need for the murderer to just take away the white jade unicorn. In this way, it is very likely that the murderer who killed Ke Ye was the murderer who led the destruction of the Jin family and the Wu family?"
Lu Sheng hurriedly opened the account book, "The pawnbroker of the white jade unicorn is a beggar, if it is a beggar pawn, it is unlikely that Ke Ye will agree to the pawn." A beggar has a lot of treasure, which is obviously not very reasonable. β
"My lord, didn't you see that there was a four-bag written in the ledger?"
"What do you mean?"
"This is the rule in the rivers and lakes, the four bags mean that the beggars gang the four bags of disciples! That is to say, the person who pawns the white jade unicorn is the person of the beggar gang. β
"Beggar gang, let's go back!"
