Chapter 018: Human Evil Deeds (3)
"How do you remember these contents......" Xiaowan complained after hearing this.
"It's common sense." Qing Ziming said lightly.
"Uh...... It turns out that you define these as common sense, and I'm really embarrassed to hold you back! Xiaowan joked loudly and thought about it, and then said, "So...... What should happen next is, greed? ”
"Greed refers to uncontrolled desires, especially the excessive pursuit of money or power. St. Thomas Aquinas (one of the teachers of the Catholic Church) believed that greed is a sin that turns against God, and like all corrupt sins, man gives up what is eternal for the sake of what will corrupt. Crimes related to greed include stealing, robbery, corruption, etc. Qing Ziming explained to Xiao Wan.
"Then we can go and inquire about some of the people in the town who are notorious for stealing, robbery, corruption, etc." Kasumi no Mist got up and prepared to leave the police station.
"Then you go to the town and ask some of the residents, I'll inquire inside the police station. By the way, Xiaowan, you are responsible for inquiring about the crime of stealing, and you are responsible for robbery in the fog of Xia, and the corruption will be handed over to me, and the police station will gather in half an hour. Remember, find those know-it-alls who often talk about gossip together, you must be secretive and secretive, now this matter can only be told to the sheriff alone, and it is better for others to know less, so as not to cause panic among the masses. Qing Ziming released everyone's task arrangements and told him again.
"Okay." Xia Zhiwu said lightly.
"No problem!" Xiao Wan was already interested, and he always hoped to help the team......
At 9:30, the three of them each headed for their goal.
Qing Ziming was wandering around the police station alone, but he didn't expect to see a group of policemen eating and chatting together......
Here's your chance! Qing Ziming thought to himself.
"Hello! Good morning! Qing Ziming walked over and said hello.
"Morning, Mr. Detective." The police greeted Aoko-ming together.
Then Qing Ziming talked with the police about some other topics, and from other topics he led to the topic he was looking forward to.
"By the way, I just came to the town and I don't know the situation in the town, can you tell me about some famous criminals in the town, I am more interested in these people......" After Qingziming's repeated temptation and guidance, the police finally spoke.
The police described a lot of criminals and got a few suspicious people from their mouths.
Xiao Wan and Xia Zhiwu also returned, and it happened that the three of them combined the information they had gathered, and then made exclusions and screenings, and finally came up with the three people who were most likely to be targeted by the murderer.
The first person is called Yu Jiuzhong, and he often takes a group of brothers in the town to rob some of the weaker people, and the police have always been unable to deal with them.
The second person is called Li Shengnan, who is the deputy mayor of the town and often embezzles some of the people's hard-earned money, but because he has been more cautious, the police have not found any evidence.
The third person is called Tian Liangcai, who often steals, enters other people's homes and steals, and has not been caught so far.
"I think Li Shengnan is the most likely, after all, his crimes are not at the same level as several other people, and he is a big official, so he is particularly easy to be targeted." Kasumi no Mist said after a long period of thought.
"I also think that the murderer's goal must be known to everyone, and if I were the murderer, I would definitely choose him." Qing Ziming looked at Xia Zhiwu, he had already thought like this in his heart, but he didn't say it, he wanted to hear Xia Zhiwu's thoughts first.
"Hmm...... That's the truth. Xiaowan also agreed.
After heated discussions, it was speculated that the target of the murderer might be Deputy Mayor Li Shengnan.
"Then we will go directly to his house to ambush later!" Xiaowan said excitedly, she can finally grasp the whereabouts of this murderer.
"Wait, we need to tell the sheriff first and ask him to bring a police force with us." Qingzi shouted out to Xiao Wan, who was about to leave.
Then the three of them went to the sheriff's office and explained the situation to the sheriff, "...... This is the case, so we now have to go to Li Shengnan's house to ambush, wait for the rabbit, and directly arrest the murderer. ”
The police were stunned for a while, but they still accepted Qing Ziming's proposal, sighed and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that as a police officer, I would one day protect those who committed the most heinous crimes......"
Qing Ziming, the three of them, and a team of police led by the sergeant galloped towards Li Shengnan's house.
Qing Ziming pondered all the way, and the words that the sheriff said just now kept echoing in his ears, "As a police officer, one day I have to protect those who have committed the most heinous crimes."
Yes, although they are also the most heinous criminals, but now there is another more powerful criminal staring at them, and the police are also obliged to protect the weak in the face of such a situation, even if it is a group of people who are harmful to society.
Is the murderer really a messenger of justice? In a sense, yes, but justice is not the law and not the police, he has no right to enforce this justice, and this act of justice that he carries out is a crime, and now he is a criminal.
Qing Ziming thought about it, and before he knew it, he was near Li Shengnan's house.
"Let's set up an ambush nearby, the murderer is probably about to move, as long as you see a suspicious person entering and leaving his house, go straight to it!" Qing Ziming whispered.
"Understood!" The sheriff said indignantly.
Can this abominable murderer finally be caught this time?
It's a pity that the reality is cruel, everyone waited for nearly half an hour and still didn't see anyone, not even Li Shengnan didn't show up.
Kasumi no Mist sensed that something was wrong and said, "I'll go over and take a look." ”
Then the mist of the sun quietly walked over, trying to spy on the inside from the window, but the window was locked so tightly that there was no gap left, and nothing could be seen.
Kasumi no Mist went straight to the door and knocked on it, but no one came to open it, and then she made a gesture for them to come.
When everyone was about to knock on the door, they found that the door was open and not locked.
It's a pity that there is no half of the figure......
"Wait, isn't it...... The punishment for greed is, torment in oil, go to the kitchen and see! Qing Ziming stood in the hall and thought for a while before hurriedly saying.
Everyone rushed to the kitchen again, and was greeted by the unique smell of oil.
But there was nothing in the pot, only a little oil floating in it.
Just when everyone was relieved, Qing Ziming looked at a sack on the ground, and after he opened it carefully, everyone saw a very amazing scene!
The sack was full of corpse parts, and they were all fried to a bloody pulp. Qing Ziming concluded that it was human flesh, because he saw a human face fried beyond recognition in the depths of the sack, and the scene was very terrifying.
It is conceivable how good the psychological quality of the murderer is. Imagine the murderer killing the victim and then chopping him into pieces of meat with his own hands, then putting it in an oil pan and frying it, and finally putting it in a sack one by one. The murderer's psychological quality alone is not comparable to ordinary people, and his thinking is so close that it is enough to make people creepy.
This is a very formidable opponent, everyone thought.
But the more this happens, the more excited Qing Ziming becomes, if he catches him with his own hands, wouldn't it be a sense of accomplishment!
The police collected clues from the scene in fear, and the conclusions they came to surprised Qing Ziming.
The time of death of the deceased should have been around 8:00, but the murderer should have killed the representative of the crime of gluttony shortly after that time.
It shows that the murderer only rested for more than an hour and then started the murder again, and the murderer is really resolute.
At this time, the whole town was already in a panic, and everyone who died one or two at the beginning didn't pay attention to it, but now they continue to die, and everyone is afraid that the next one will be themselves. (Information about the Seven Deadly Sins is only known to the player and the Sheriff.)
This time another card was found at the bottom of the sack, with three written on the card and another line in the lower right corner:
Desire to possess more than is needed – from the messenger of righteousness
But this time the difference was that a suspicious man was witnessed entering the deceased's home at around 7:30, and according to the person's description, the police came to a conclusion:
The murderer was supposed to be thin and tall, about 180 tall, wearing a hooded black robe, and his pants were also black, but since he was seen from behind the man, he didn't see what his face looked like.
"If you kill one person in two hours at this rate, wouldn't another one have died?" Xiao Wan looked at the time of 11:58 on the wall and said.
"Probably not, because the preparation for the next trick is a bit complicated." Qing Ziming pondered.
"The next crime is...... Lazy? Xiao Wan asked cautiously.
"That's right, laziness. Laziness is declared guilty because: First, other people need to work harder to fill in the gap, and when you are lazy, you create a 'gap' that needs to be filled by others, so it is a sin. Second, what should be done has not been done well, which is harmful to oneself and not beneficial. This type of person has the characteristics of avoidance, procrastination, passivity, and sadness. The punishment is to throw it into a snake pit and let the snake bite to death, which takes a long time to prepare, during which time we can make some big moves. ”
"We can get the police to spread the word to the town, let everyone who thinks they have the above characteristics come to the police station, and tell the general public that the murderer will not shoot at people who don't have the above characteristics, so that everyone comes to the police station to stay in troubled waters and fish, and then send some people to the town to patrol in turn, and report any suspicious man when he sees it."
"In addition, this murderer is very smart, so he can't be allowed to blend in with the crowd and go to the police station, let the police check everyone's identity information, and don't let it in if it's not from the town. I'm sure this murderer is definitely not from the town. "Qing Ziming has laid out a perfect arrangement to defend against the murderer's assault.
