Chapter 160: Portrait Sketch
Lu Sheng entered the courtyard and carefully examined each corpse, and did not read them all until noon.
"There are six murderers in total, one is good at palms, one is good at claws, one is extremely fast with knives, one is good at legs, and the remaining two are proficient in secret kung fu and poisoning.
And the really powerful one is the one who used poison, Boss Jin and his six sons, all of whom died of poisoning. Hou Luoyin ranked fifth for the fast knife, but unfortunately, he didn't even have a chance to make a knife. β
"No wonder there was no movement last night, it turned out that the masters were poisoned for the first time. Liang Yongren sighed lightly, "I can't imagine that Mr. Jin is a hero in his life, but he died like this......"
"Do you think it's a pity?" Lu Sheng shook his head, "Mr. Jin and Hou Luoyin are both masters of the Innate Realm, what kind of poison can make the Innate Realm not even have the power to resist?"
If he can poison them, he can kill them head-on. So poison is just one of the tools to kill people, even if the murderer doesn't use poison, the Jin family will definitely not survive to arrive. β
"My lord, we have all searched, the rooms of the heads of the Jin family have been searched, and all the silver tickets and gold and silver jewelry have been stolen. Only the valuable items were not taken. β
"It's really rampant enough, Xuantian Mansion immediately entered the combat readiness, notified Commander Huo, and asked him to screen out suspicious people as soon as possible. Such a clear and spicy modus operandi could never have been done by people from Jinling. β
"Yes!"
The two left the Jin Mansion side by side, and the outside of the Jin Mansion was already surrounded by people watching at this moment. Lu Sheng's wit moved, his eyes swept over the onlookers, and his brain was running rapidly.
With Lu Sheng's perverted memory, he quickly remembered all the faces of the people around him.
Leaving some people to deal with the aftermath, the two returned to Xuantian Mansion. As soon as he arrived at Liang Yongren's office, a Xuan Tianwei came to Liang Yongren with a stack of files.
The chief catcher has found the information. Judging from the murderer's methods, those six people are the six Kou in Guanzhong who ran rampant in the pass five years ago. What they did back then can be described as the anger of people and gods. But five years ago, the six Kou in Guanzhong disappeared and never came out again.
The file was put down, and Lu Sheng and Liang Yongren looked at it separately.
The six gangsters in Guanzhong are rampant and domineering in the Guanzhong area, they kidnap tickets, extort, extort, massacre, rob, it can be said that the cases that bandits and robbers can do, they have done everything without pulling one.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and Liang Yongren's flesh danced like waves, "When I catch them, Lao Tzu will have to cut them with a thousand knivesββ"
"Brother Liang, don't be angry yet!" Lu Sheng comforted softly, "These six people are very arrogant and cautious. They spent three years in Guanzhong, committing more than 30 crimes in three years, but they never met with the government.
From the time they appeared to the time they disappeared, the government didn't even know what they looked like. And every time they were encircled and suppressed, they left ahead of schedule like unpredictable prophets. We should be patient with this kind of opponent.
Judging from the records in the files, the interval between each crime of the six cowards ranged from one month to three months, depending on the amount of property they obtained. The larger the amount of robbery, the longer their intervals.
This makes me have a bad guess that these six people are planning to spend all the money before making a move. And they can make a move after three months after getting 10,000 taels, which shows that they are not spending money quickly.
I still remember that when I was in Suzhou, I also encountered a similar case, the reason why Ren Tuzi was caught by me so quickly was because he was a good gambler and spent money too quickly.
But let's let the brothers go to the pawnshops and money houses to squat. Although they made a lot of money last night, even the silver tickets had to be exchanged for cash to spend. β
"Okay, I'll give you the order. Brother Lu, my brother said something from the bottom of his heart, although my brother has worked in the position of chief arrest in Jinling for so many years, he has indeed handled many cases.
But the elder brother is a martial artist after all, and in terms of the ability to investigate and detect cases, he is indeed not as good as the elder brother. This case, my brother must help......"
"Don't I have another case in my hand?"
"Isn't that clue all broken? brother, it's my brother begging you. This kind of case can only be delayed quickly, and if it is delayed, it will shake the people's will. No matter what method you use, you must solve the case in the shortest possible time. β
Lu Sheng was most afraid of others begging for soft grinding, a fat man of three hundred pounds, making a pitiful appearance made Lu Sheng very embarrassed, so he had to nod and agree to do his best.
Lu Sheng analyzed the data of the six Kou and analyzed it all night, and when the thorough analysis of the Six Kou was completed, the sky was already bright.
"Knock knockβ"
The water cup on the table shook slightly, and a clear vibration slowly approached from a distance.
With a bang, Lu Sheng's door was slammed open.
"Brother Lu, Liukou has committed another crime. Damn, what are they going to do? Do you want to break the sky?"
"What?" Lu Sheng's expression was even more surprised than Liang Yongren's. Yesterday, Lu Sheng also analyzed that the next time Liukou committed the crime would be at least three months later, but he didn't expect it to be only one day later.
"This time it's the Wu family in the west of the city, the Wu family even the dogs were slaughtered, it can really be said that there are no chickens and dogs, and the worst is the Miss Wu family, who was seen by the six brutes **, and the brothers were no longer human. β
"Let's go!" Lu Sheng didn't say a word, stood up and rushed to the scene of the crime with light skills.
The murderer's modus operandi is obvious, exactly the same as yesterday's case of the Jin family. The only difference is that the Wu family doesn't know martial arts, so everyone was brutally killed.
Within two days, there were two murders. This made the people of Jinling City feel deeply uneasy, this time Lu Sheng arrived at the scene, and the number of people outside the Wu family gate was nearly twice as large as that at the door of Jin's house.
Lu Sheng suddenly paused the moment he entered the door, turned his head and glanced at the onlookers seriously. After freezing a few breaths, he entered the Wu family under the urging of Liang Yongren.
That scene was literally eighteen layers of hell.
Some of the family members had their heads smashed, and some had their chests torn open and their intestines dripping to the ground. Some had their heads cut off, and some were shot like hedgehogs.
In Miss Wu's room, Lu Sheng saw the most angry scene in his life. Miss Wu's limbs were broken alive and her body was covered with bruises.
In the unwilling eyes, there is also a chilling hatred and despair.
A young girl in the flower season, but suffered from hellish torture, and then was strangled to death.
"These brutes, these brutes...... Lao Tzu will not break them into thousands of pieces, Lao Tzu will not be a human ......" Liang Yongren roared in the sky as if he had become a gorilla.
Lu Sheng gently stretched out his hand and closed Miss Wu's eyes.
"Let's go. Let the brethren look for it carefully, inch by inch, and not let go of even a single hair that falls on the ground. β
The sky of Xuantianfu seemed to be shrouded in clouds. Shen Ling sat expressionlessly in the upper hand position, his face gloomy like water.
"It's been a month since the establishment of Xuantian Mansion, and in the past month, everyone's work has achieved remarkable results. But these two cases, these six people, have destroyed all the prestige and effectiveness we have accumulated before.
It's not just Xuantian Mansion, it's Nanling Palace, Fei Lingwei, all the face of so many years has been torn off, and then stepped on the ground and stepped into mud.
Guanzhong Liukou, I don't care what ability they have to fly away, I only have one request today, find them and kill them.
From now on, all the Xuantian Guards, the Six Gates, the Criminal Division, and the City Defense Army will be dispatched to me. Surveillance is deployed throughout Jinling City, and you have the right to come forward and inquire about any suspicious person.
From now on, all Jinling City will be under martial law, and no one will be allowed to go out. If there is resistance, take it on the spot.
Three days, I only have three days, and within three days, I want to see the corpses of the six Kou in Guanzhong, don't be alive. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
When Shen Ling was furious, he finally had the official authority of the little marquis of the prince of Nanling. The heavy oppression pressed on everyone's bodies like a mountain.
After venting, Shen Ling noticed Lu Sheng, who had not said a word from the beginning, as if he had fallen into a dream state. Shen Ling's gaze was projected on Lu Sheng's body, and at this moment, Lu Sheng was still motionless like a clay wood carving.
In Lu Sheng's mind, it was like an automatic projection movie. From the first time he came out of the Golden Mansion, Lu Sheng kept an eye on it. With his super memory, he memorized the appearance of the crowd outside the Jinfu Gate.
Rampant criminals like the six criminals in Guanzhong, they will not be timid enough to commit a crime and then flee thousands of miles. From the perspective of the psychology of arrogant criminals, it is very likely that they will return to the scene of the crime to see their masterpieces after the crime.
Even after watching Xuantian Mansion busy, he would smile in his heart.
The next day, the Wu family, they did the case again, and this time the methods were even more arrogant than in the Jin family.
No one in the Wu family knows martial arts, and there is no need for them to do so. And the reason for this should be provocation. It's just to provoke Xuantianfu and can't catch them, and there's no way to take them.
Lu Sheng's mind quickly excluded the people, the two crime locations were thirty miles apart, and they were both early in the morning, if someone appeared at the two crime locations at the same time, then there must be no doubt that the murderer.
There were fewer and fewer faces, and finally, five overlapping faces appeared in Lu Sheng's mind. A man dressed up, a peddler, a cobbler, a pastry seller, and a merchant.
"Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng!"
"Huh?" Lu Sheng raised his head blankly, but saw Shen Ling's complaining eyes, "What were you thinking about during the meeting?"
Lu Sheng hurriedly stood up, took out the pen and paper on the table, and drew quickly.
As a detective, portrait is an essential skill. Although there were no pencils in this era, a master brush master could draw thin lines with a brush.
Lu Sheng's abnormality instantly made everyone curiously surround him. Lu Sheng's wrist trembled, and the lines fell quickly on the paper.
The shape of his face gradually became clearer, his eyes slowly emerged, and Shen Ling, who was on the side, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.
"This technique, this technique...... It was never ...... Never showed up?"
Shen Ling, as the prince of Nanling, has a profound family knowledge of painting skills, he didn't recognize it, so it definitely never appeared.
