A total of four cases are being investigated.

In the first case, which occurred on the eighth day of June last year, the deceased fainted after being hit with a brick in the back of the head, and then was cut open with a knife from the chest cavity to the lower abdomen, and the intestines were taken out of the body.

The deceased was found in a cul-de-sac and was discovered in the morning by the woman who poured the bucket next door.

The location is separated from the deceased's house by an alley.

After inquiry, the deceased He Si, 52 years old, was a carpenter with apprentices, who worked as a master in Liu Ji's furniture, and drank with two apprentices the night before the incident.

Two apprentices lived in the shop, and there were two other apprentices in the shop, four people in a room, and they could be time witnesses to each other.

The deceased was widowed and unmarried, and the eldest and second sons were married, as well as two grandsons and a granddaughter.

On the night of the incident, the two sons did not notice anything unusual, and the two residents of the crime scene did not hear any sounds of fighting or calling for help.

With regard to the post-mortem, it was recorded that the cause of death was excessive blood loss.

The above is all the records of this case, there is no progress, except for a wall brick, not even a bloody footprint, but there are many bloody footprints of wild cats at the scene.

Song Yuanshi took the preserved fruit and peanuts from the box he brought over and put them on the table, and took the first dossier that Song Ning had read.

"Is there nothing to do in Shuntianfu?"

"There should be, Gu Ji squeezed his senior brother away back then, and now that he has an accident, his senior brother is back." Song Ning said.

Song Yuanshi bowed his head and frowned: "Then this autopsy is too simple." ”

"It's simple, but it's also possible that there's really nothing."

Song Yuanshi shook his head, just looking at this case is indeed very complicated.

"The second." Song Ning gave the second file to Song Yuanshi.

Song and Yuan continued to read the second dossier.

The second case was on the third day of August, a month and 25 days after the previous one.

The deceased, a 49-year-old female, was killed in the backyard of her home. The back of the head was hit twice with a blunt object, and the skull was clearly fractured. The reason why it can be combined with the previous case is that the deceased's abdomen was also cut open and the intestines were opened.

After investigation, the deceased, Su Lu, was a well-known matchmaker in the neighborhood.

For seven or eight years, the deceased would get up every night around ugly hours to go to bed. The deceased got up at the same time on the night of the crime to go to the hut, but was hit on the back of the head by the killer with a stone piled up in the corner of his house.

The sequence of crimes is similar to that of the first case.

There is a difference of one month and 16 days between the third case and the second case.

The deceased, Shi Zhaowei, 36 years old, raised people, and was preparing to take the exam next spring.

The deceased died in the evening of the same day. According to the wife of the deceased, the deceased left the city alone from the southwest gate that day and entered the Guangfeng Pavilion in Xishan to study, and did not ask anyone else to go with him.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, when an old man who climbed the mountain came down the mountain, he saw several wild dogs fighting in the wind pavilion, and he also smelled blood, so he went to check and found that the deceased was lying in the pavilion, his upper clothes were open, his stomach was dissected, and his intestines were dragged to the ground, or maybe it was dragged by wild dogs, and he was not sure.

As in the previous two cases, the deceased was first hit with a blunt object to the back of the head.

In the fourth case, on December 19, two months after the third phase, the deceased's name was Zhang Wu, a butcher who specialized in collecting pigs from all over the country, and after killing them, he delivered them to the meat stalls of three vegetable markets in the south of the city every morning.

The time of the deceased's death was from midnight to midnight, and the place where he was killed was the entrance of the vegetable market in West Lane, and an old man who went out to sell vegetables in the morning found the deceased lying on the side of the road.

The belly was cut open, and beside him, there was a pig with white flowers that had also been cut open.

Due to the rapid gathering of people after the discovery, the scene was completely destroyed, leaving no clues.

Song Ning put down the file and concluded: "The order and method of killing in the four cases are exactly the same, but there is no connection between the time and the deceased. ”

"The difficulty is that there are only five pieces of evidence in these four cases, one is a very clear bloody right footprint printed at the scene after Shi Zhaowei was killed, and the other four are four bricks for killing, all of which are made of local materials and have nothing special."

"Let's go to dinner first, and take a trip to Shuntianfu by the way, and you can talk to the person who handled the case." Song Yuan Shi said.

Song Ning put down the file, shook off his official uniform and looked at it, it was no different from his official clothes, she and Song Yuanshi said: "This has to be four grades to have a sense of joy." ”

Above the fifth grade, the official uniform is crimson.

"Go eat and feed your belly to satisfy your bottomless pit." Song Yuanshi pulled her out, closed the door casually, and said as he walked, "Do you want to invite Lei Song to eat copper pot together?" ”

Lei Song is the head catcher of the Shuntianfu Torture Hall.

"Okay, you go order food and I'll call someone." Song Ning wanted to go to the Qi Palace, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Zhao Yi's pompous carriage parked at the entrance of the yamen.

She immediately became happy, walked over and knocked on the wall of the car: "Excuse me, is there a fairy living in it?" ”

"It's not." Zhao Yi lifted the curtain and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "It's your Zhou Gong." ”

"Huh?" Song Ning seemed to smile, "What if I don't want to see you in my dreams?" ”

"It's okay to be outside of your dreams." Zhao Yi flicked her forehead, "What's the matter, unhappy in Dali Temple this morning?" ”

Song Ning nodded with a pout: "Yes, I was bullied." ”

Zhao Yi frowned, Song Yuanshi stood behind Song Ning and shook his head at him: "Don't listen to her, she poked four eyes in the morning, and Lord Tang was speechless several times, this is still her restraint, if you don't restrain yourself, I'm afraid you will already be fighting the fire in Dali Temple at this time." ”

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Ning: "Then you are still wronged?" ”

"Forget it, there are two people who are unhappy in Song's heart, and they are empty, go for a walk and eat copper pot." Song Ning said to Zhao Yi, "Just tell you about this case that Lord Tang sent to make things difficult for me." ”

Zhao Yi got out of the car, followed by Yan Feng, and sighed, he used to have things to do every day in Yamen, but now he suddenly returned to the capital, and they were not used to being too idle.

Zhao Yi, Song Ning, and Song Yuanshi walked side by side, talking and laughing, and the people on both sides of the road were full of amazement.

……

Tang Taiwen asked his entourage Pan Dexiang: "...... Seeing that Prince Qi came to the door? ”

"Yes. I also heard Lord Song say that she was wronged by us and asked the prince to give her a head. Pan Dexiang was indignant, "My lord, the villain has never seen such a shameless person, obviously she made a lot of trouble in the morning, but she still has to go to the prince to complain." ”

"This is definitely the first to sue the wicked."

Tang Taiwen said expressionlessly: "Count forward, when will he not cause trouble in the capital?" ”

"I really didn't expect that Prince Qi would value him so much." It is rumored that the prince of Qi returned to Beijing because Song Shi'an returned to Beijing.

Pan Dexiang followed: "It's not just important, the villain looks very intimate." ”

Tang Taiwen didn't think much about it, just worried that if he went too far with Song Ning, would Zhao Yi interfere.

"This official is going to the noon dynasty." Tang Taiwen cleaned up and went to the palace.

He came early, and only Song Yanxu was accompanying Zhao Chi to appreciate the words. Zhao Chi basically has no hobbies except writing.

Tang Taiwen stepped forward and saluted, and hugged Song Yanxu again.

"Xiao Song went to report to you today, how about it?" Zhao Chi stopped and looked at Tang Taiwen, Tang Taiwen replied, "Lord Xiao Song has the ability and sense of responsibility, as soon as he arrived at the Yamen and heard about the murder and caesarean section case that had been without clues since last year, he immediately volunteered, saying that he would handle this case for him, and he would definitely be able to investigate and handle it clearly within seven days." ”

Song Yanxu's eyelids jumped.

"Oh?" Zhao Chi knew about this case, but there was no progress for more than half a year, and people were still panicking, "He actually asked for instructions to handle this case, but he really didn't expect it." ”

"Song Aiqing, Zimu's ability is getting stronger and stronger, and he also has a sense of responsibility, and he didn't disappoint me."

Song Yan replied: "The saint has praised it, but Zimu is still very stubborn. He said to Tang Taiwen again, "I also ask Lord Tang to teach more." ”

Tang Taiwen stared at Song Yanxu and replied: "Song Ge is polite, his ability no longer needs to be pointed out by others, what I, the top of the peak, want to do is just give him a chance to perform." ”

As he spoke, Fang Xu came in from outside the door, and after saluting, he asked Tang Taiwen, "What is the opportunity to perform?" ”

Tang Taiwen told Song Ning again.

"Tiger fathers have no dogs." Fang Xu turned around and said to Song Yanxu, "Lord Song's son teaches well!" ”

My son is suffering outside, but your son can rise to prominence!

"Yes, Zimu is indeed very well-behaved and capable." Of course, Song Yanxu understood Fang Xu's words, "I didn't think that in the past, now he is indeed my pride." ”

Fang Xu looked at Song Yanxu, his son came back, and he was really confident, he had been holding his tail for two years, and now he thinks the time has come?

Song Yanxu held back his anger, of course he didn't feel that Song Ning was his pride, but when others said this, it was not something he could avoid if he wanted to.

Looking at Song Yanxu, Fang Xu's displeasure was undisguised.

"Seven days is very fast, then we will wait for the good news of Lord Xiao Song."
