Chapter 252: Imitation of Crime
The profile of the murderer has been released, just waiting to find this person.
Out of the yamen, Zhen Chutian walked extremely fast, and Gu Chenghan almost couldn't keep up.
"Zhen Chutian." Gu Chenghan saw that Zhen Chutian was in such a hurry, so he stopped him.
Hearing Gu Chenghan's shout, Zhen Chutian realized that he was a little reckless, and suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Chenghan with a smile, "My lord, what are you calling me for?" ”
"Why are you walking so fast?" Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian puzzled.
He didn't know what Zhen Chutian was thinking in his heart, although last night's incident had passed, but when she saw Gu Chenghan, she couldn't help but think of what Nan Hong said, which was unconsciously a little embarrassing, and she unconsciously went fast.
Gu Chenghan didn't look abnormal, compared to him, Zhen Chutian seemed a little deliberate.
"No, it's okay, I just want to find the murderer as soon as possible, who knows if he won't attack anyone else, right?" Zhen Chutian brought the matter to the case.
However, Gu Chenghan didn't believe Zhen Chutian's words at all, and approached her aggressively, "Doesn't Zhen want to ask about last night?" ”
"What happened last night?" Zhen Chutian blinked his eyes, obviously his heart was empty, but he couldn't help but pretend that nothing had happened.
"The official gave you an explanation last night, don't you want to give the official an explanation?" Gu Chenghan suddenly became playful, wanting to see what would happen to Zhen Chutian after being forced by himself.
I thought about what Gu Chenghan would say, but I never expected him to be so straightforward.
Zhen Chutian's dark eyes sank, and his nervous little hands had nowhere to place.
Seeing this, Gu Chenghan had a smile on his face, and he knew that it was enough to stop, so he coughed, "Let's go, find the murderer." ”
Seeing that Gu Chenghan didn't say anything more, Zhen Chutian finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed him.
Since the murderer's target is a wanderer, he can only go to the poorest place in the town, where I heard that many wanderers gather.
Of course, the people of the Yamen had been to that place a long time ago, and they searched back and forth from the town countless times, but they could not find a man who was nine feet tall, or even a man who was eight feet tall.
It was another day of nothing, and I searched for three days according to the previous clues, but the murderer seemed to have disappeared from the town, and there was no clue left.
When Zhen Chutian was depressed, Gu Chenghan came to look for her to watch Halloween.
"It's Halloween?" It's Halloween, but Zhen Chutian has forgotten about it.
"Well, pack up and leave in a quarter of an hour." Gu Chenghan left Zhen Chutian's house with his hands in his hands.
Zhen Chutian didn't waste any time, packed up and went to find Nanhong.
As long as the poisonous hair is suppressed, Nanhong looks like a normal person, and when she heard that she was going to Halloween, she naturally would not refuse, and Han Shuangyi and Song Jiang also went together.
At the time of departure, they marched in a group of five or six people and went straight to the place where Halloween was held.
There are very few people on the street, and it can be described as no one compared to the past.
Everyone goes to Halloween, which makes Zhen Chutian and others want to know what kind of festival Halloween is.
Not to mention that it is held every month, everyone still believes in it?
The doubts became thicker and thicker, and Zhen Chutian and the others quickened their pace.
But fortunately, the time was just in time, and when they arrived, Halloween had just begun.
The eldest man in the town, whom they revered as the Elder, was standing on a high platform at this time, dressed in black, with a cane in his hand, his eyes closed, looking up at the sky, and everyone in the audience did the same as him.
It seemed that she was waiting for something auspicious, taking advantage of this gap, Zhen Chutian hurriedly came to the stage, looking at the guy above, she was full of curiosity, and she reached out and was just about to touch a very strange thing, not wanting anyone to scold her.
"What are you doing?" This really scared Zhen Chutian.
Zhen Chutian's hand quickly retracted, and at this time, the elder had already come to her, "What are you messing with, do you know, if you move, you will provoke ghosts, do you know that if you do this, you will kill the people of our entire town." ”
"That's it, that's it, even if you come from the capital, it's too presumptuous, it's too bullying." The onlookers began to heckle with the elders.
Left sentence and right sentence, these words will drown Zhen Chutian.
Gu Chenghan hurriedly pulled Zhen Chutian away.
After they left, the festival continued.
Zhen Chutian breathed a sigh of relief and held his chest, "How can these people attach so much importance to Halloween." ”
Then the elder told everyone to take out the incense from their homes, and when the incense was gone, they began to bow down and chant words in their mouths.
Nan Hong quietly approached and heard the words from their mouths, which said: The dead rest in peace and the living live forever.
This is clearly bluffing, and these pedantic people actually believe it.
But if you think about it, you can understand that sometimes even if you know that those things are false, you are still willing to believe it, just like spiritual sustenance.
After kneeling, he began to bled out.
Forcibly cut his hands and bled out, Zhen Chutian couldn't stand it, and was about to rush out to stop it, but was stopped by Gu Chenghan, "It's useless for you to go out at this time, there are so many people, can you manage that?" ”
Oh, yes?
The whole village is here, and even if you can stop one or two, you can't stop everyone.
"What the hell is going on with this bloodletting in the prefect?"
"If you go back to your lordship, you have understood it before that the purpose of kneeling down is to let the ghost cha know that they are pious, and I hope that the onicha can take care of their deceased relatives, and the bloodletting is to let the bad things go and let the good things stay."
As soon as the prefect's words fell, Zhen Chutian sneered, "Ignorant and ignorant. ”
Zhen Chu Tianqi's whole body was trembling, and the sword in his hand was also trembling.
"Chu Tian, are you okay?" Seeing that Zhen Chutian was like this, Nan Hong was very worried, and took her hand, her brows tightened.
"It's okay, I just want to rush out too much." Zhen Chutian took a deep breath and tried to keep himself as calm as possible.
"Don't be impulsive, these people don't listen to you now." Even if they knew that what Zhen Chutian said was true, they knew that the people would not believe her words.
Nanhong and the others knew that these were nonsense, but the people were convinced.
In fact, as long as it can't hurt the body, there is nothing wrong with making them feel that a peaceful life is ridiculous.
In fact, Halloween is really simple, it is to worship, and then do some things to sacrifice in the past, but Zhen Chutian is angry that they regard it as the only life, and it seems that they can't live without Halloween, isn't this self-deception?
In the midst of such indignation, Halloween soon ended, and everyone was eating and drinking.
It's like a family having a reunion festival together.
But all around are Yin Si ghost talismans, the candlelight is gray, and even the person standing opposite you is black, and you can't see his appearance clearly.
In such an environment, there is no mood to eat.
Just when Zhen Chutian was so puzzled, there was a commotion around, the sound gradually approached, followed by the shouts of the people, and after a while, everyone scattered, and Zhen Chutian clearly heard someone shouting that someone was dead, dead.
Zhen Chutian's face sank, and Gu Chenghan followed closely to her to prevent those people from scurrying around from hurting her.
After everyone dispersed, the person lying on the ground suddenly appeared in front of Gu Chenghan.
Zhen Chutian quickly came to the man, and the elder was already lying on the ground at this time, of course he was fine, he was scared.
Seeing the elder who was originally high, this would be frightened like an old man who didn't understand anything, Zhen Chutian was very irritable when he saw him like this, and said impatiently: "Aren't you the elder of the town?" Don't you know everything? Now scared like this, what's the point? ”
When the elder heard Zhen Chutian's words, he raised his eyes to look at her, his whole body was still trembling, and he couldn't suppress the trembling, "You, what else do you want to do?" ”
"What, Elder, can you solve the murder?" Zhen Chutian gave the elder a cold look.
As soon as this household came out, he directly blocked the elder to death, and he couldn't say a word.
He didn't want to see the elder again, so he asked the official to take him away for questioning.
Song Jiang had already begun to inspect the corpse at this time, and the more he looked at the corpse, the more ugly his face became, and the same was true of Nan Hong, who was inspecting with him on the side.
Zhen Chutian felt strange and glanced at Gu Chenghan, and then looked at the corpse, when she saw that there were no scars on the surface of the corpse, and then there were long knife marks, her hair was numb, and the murderer committed the crime again?
Song Jiang found the pinhole in the deceased's chest, but although the pinhole was very similar to the previous twelve corpses, as a famous doctor, he could still see that it was obviously different.
"Brother Song, isn't it different?" Seeing Song Jiang's eyes, Zhen Chutian realized that something was wrong, so he asked closely.
Song Jiang looked at Zhen Chutian and nodded slightly, pointing to the position on his chest to show her, "This is different from the previous corpse." ”
"It's different, it's a copy, it's not the murderer who did it before." Judging from the environment at the scene and the posture of the deceased, it really looks like someone did it, but she still sees a flaw.
Gu Chenghan frowned, "Why do you think it wasn't him?" ”
"My lord, you see that there are many people in this place, this corpse was obviously placed here before, and the real murderer just calculated the time before releasing the corpse, in order to make people panic, and the previous murderer would not be so boring, he disdained to hide all this."
Zhen Chutian said that the head was the Tao, and coupled with Gu Chenghan's observation, he quite agreed with her thoughts.
"Bring the body back first, find out who found the body first, and bring it back to the yamen." Gu Chenghan looked at the prefect expressionlessly.
"Yes, Master Gu."
After that, Gu Chenghan asked Yu Linglong to chase people, and he and Zhen Chutian continued to look for clues here.
The surroundings were all blocked by the officials, and only Gu Chenghan and others were left here at this time, which gave them a good opportunity to find clues.
Zhen Chutian searched around the location of the corpse and on the stage, originally planning to give up, but in the end she found an object, but I don't know if this thing is related to the murderer.
The murderer blatantly threw the corpse here, and also designed to display the corpse in front of everyone during Halloween, in order to show the public and vent his anger.
