Chapter 198: Serial Murders
Seeing that she didn't speak, and it seemed that she would keep it like this, Wang Yu had to habitually sit down on the chair next to her, and was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask her doubts,
"Ji Yuan, where did you see that these two cases were committed by the same murderer?"
"Huh? Oh, you ask this,"
Zong Jiyuan opened his eyes for a moment, but quickly closed them again, and said leisurely,
"When June Hong was killed, there were two people in front of and behind her, and it was the one standing behind her who did the action, which Uncle Ye had already given a clear explanation; And when this Feng Jiu was killed, there were also two people beside him, one in front and one in the back, and the person behind him was also the one behind him, which I saw by looking at the footprints when I was at the scene just now......"
"Really...... I see,"
Wang Yu was stunned at first, her eyes showed a hint of admiration, and she glanced at Zong Jiyuan, but she also knew that she was closing her eyes at this time, and she must not be able to see her expression, so she was silent for a while, and then said,
"It's really impossible to have two groups of people kill people in the same way in a few days by such a coincidence, it can only be the same murderer, right?"
"Teachable,"
Zong Jiyuan opened his eyelids and looked at him and smiled.
Wang Yu was "praised" by her so much that she couldn't laugh or cry, but she immediately thought of something.
"So, we're in the middle of a series of murders. If this is the case, wouldn't it become a big case across Liaodong and Anping counties? Ji Yuan, don't you go to the adults and get in touch with the Anping County Ya, are you still waiting for? β
"Just like yours, I'm really waiting for ......"
As he spoke, Zong Jiyuan's eyes slowly closed again, and at the same time, he shrank back into the chair and adjusted his position so that he could lean more comfortably.
When Wang Yu saw it, he was really funny and incomprehensible.
"What are you waiting for? Can the case be solved by waiting? β
"yes, sometimes you really have to wait."
This time, Zong Jiyuan's eyelids didn't even move, and said in a dreamlike voice,
"First of all, Third Brother Diao went to ask Feng Jiu if he had any clues about the enemy, of course I have to wait for his news...... As for Anping County, if I'm not mistaken, don't bother Lord He to contact them, they should come to us soon......"
"It's really fake......"
Wang Yu listened even more incredible, and saw that she didn't want to talk at all, so she had no choice but to do it and stop asking......
However, what is surprising is that just one day later, Anping County really sent someone again, and it was still Zheng Youyi and Zheng Zhutou.
On the question of whether Feng Jiu has an enemy, Diao Sanlang led people to inquire for an afternoon, but he didn't get any valuable clues, although some people mentioned that he had quarreled with this one and fought with that, but after all, these things were not enough to make anyone think of killing. Therefore, the possibility of the enemy seeking revenge has to be put down first.
And so another day passed, and on the morning of the third day, the messenger who was on duty at the door ran in and returned.
"Third Brother Diao, Master, Zheng Zhutou from Anping County is here again, and he said that he has important matters to discuss with the two of you!"
"Oh, really?"
Hearing this news, Diao Saburo was stunned for a moment, obviously he had just seen it the day before yesterday, why did he come again so soon, and he commanded with suspicion in his heart,
"Invite him in."
"Okay."
The officer said yes and ran out.
Diao Saburo looked at Zong Jiyuan, who was sitting in the errand shed with Wang Yu at this time, and said,
"Ji Yuan, what do you think Anping County is sending people for?"
"I guess I'm here for the case,"
Zong Jiyuan looked very relaxed, as if there was a very important matter that had finally been resolved, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying,
"It may be that the two murders that happened in their territory involve our county again."
"Oh......"
Diao Saburo listened, nodded slowly, and said,
"Anyway, we'll know when they come in."
As he was talking, the door curtain was raised, and sure enough, Zheng Youyi and two messengers from Anping County walked in.
They are also familiar with each other, so after sitting down, they exchanged a few words of greeting, and naturally turned the conversation to the main topic.
Zheng Youyi looked at Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo and said,
"Master Zong, Diao Zhutou, do you remember what I said before I broke up with you the day before yesterday, the two murders in our county? After the two deceased were identified, although their exact identities were not known, it was mentioned that these two people had appeared frequently in Liaodong County before and after the Chinese New Year, so we doubt that they could be from Guixian. β
"I see,"
Diao Saburo had some emotion in his tone, and involuntarily looked at Zong Jiyuan, and then said,
"However, no one in our county has recently reported that there are missing people, and it is difficult to determine whether it is from our county or not......"
"Zheng Zhutou, can you give a general description of the characteristics of the two deceased?"
Zong Jiyuan thought for a moment, and then asked.
Zheng Youyi hurriedly nodded and said,
"Yes. The two men who died were both men, and they were both very young, one of them was about thirty years old, very tall and strong, and he was supposed to have practiced martial arts; The other one was about twenty years old, thinner than the previous one, and his complexion was much whiter, but he should have some punches and kicks from the bones. These two men probably knew each other, because they had been seen drinking and eating together. β
Lin Shimingββ
Listening to his description, the name immediately popped into Zong Jiyuan's mind.
With this thought, Zong Jiyuan immediately asked,
"Zheng Zhutou, did anyone notice that when they were eating together, were there any other people with them?"
"This ...... I don't really know,"
Probably Zheng Youyi also thought that this was indeed a question that should be understood, but he didn't notice it, so he looked a little embarrassed and said,
"When I get back, I'll investigate and investigate."
"Well, then there's Lao Zheng catching the head."
Zong Jiyuan was not in a hurry, and said to him very politely,
"Also, in fact, Zheng Zhutou, you came here at a very good time today, otherwise I'm afraid we will have to send someone to your county."
"Oh? Why is that? β
Zheng Youyi asked in surprise.
Zong Jiyuan just smiled lightly and said,
"Don't hide it from Zheng Zhutou, the morning before yesterday, there was also a murder outside our county, and the method of killing was basically the same as when June Hong was killed."
"Really?!"
Zheng Youyi was really surprised, and after thinking about it, he said,
"How can such a thing happen in a row, the people who are killed in our county are from your county, and someone in your county is killed, but the murderer may be a person in our county, this, this is really messy enough......"
