Chapter 374: Serial Killing
In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Qin Lianyi and Xie Shiyun were carefully inspecting the bodies of several women who had just been sent in, similar to the previous murder of women, these women also looked like they had been insulted to death by cruel means, and they had no clothes on their bodies.
"What a beast, how can you do such an inhumane thing!" Qin Lianyi scolded angrily.
Xie Wenyan nodded: "In the past few days, in the wasteland outside the city, many naked bodies of women have been found one after another, they have no clothes, the area around the incident is remote and desolate, and there are no eyewitnesses, which makes the investigation very difficult. ”
"I think these are probably all done by one person, and you can see that the scars on these corpses are very similar."
After Xie Shiyun inspected these corpses, she felt very bizarre, it seemed to have something to do with the previous case of the lewd nest, she couldn't help but think of the prince, but the lewd nest had already been destroyed, and the prince had not moved recently.
Could it be that she is overthinking?
"Sister Huang, did you think of something?"
Xie Shiyun has always been considered resourceful by them, and this time Xie Wen wondered if she had a different opinion.
"It's nothing, it's just that these corpses remind me of the previous sex nest case."
"Wasn't that lewd nest case closed a long time ago?" Qin Lianyi asked.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but for some reason I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with Xie Yuan."
Qin Lianyi didn't quite understand what she meant: "Xie Yuan hasn't made any strange moves recently, isn't it that you're thinking too much?" ”
"Probably, in short, we must catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that the people will not panic."
Since the queen set up a plan to get rid of Concubine Shu that day, she has been recuperating in the palace under the title of illness.
On this day, the queen was accompanied by Ruyu and walked in the imperial garden.
"Niangniang's complexion has been really good lately, and she looks much more delicate than the flowers in this imperial garden."
"You girl, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
"How can there be, it's obvious that the mother has been in a good mood recently, and that's why she has become so moving."
Since Concubine Shu's accident and the crown prince was snubbed by Emperor An He, the queen's mood has indeed been much brighter, and she finally avenged her two children who died young.
Just as the queen was about to continue into the depths of the imperial garden, she suddenly saw the figure of the prince hurrying by not far away.
"Where is this prince going in a hurry?"
Ruyu gently attached to the queen's ear: "Niangniang, looking at the direction it seems to be the Zhongcui Palace where the concubine lived before, and the prince seems to have often gone to the Zhongcui Palace mysteriously recently." ”
These words made the queen wonder: "Why do you say that the prince went to Zhongcui Palace very mysteriously?" Where is the mystery? ”
Ruyu hurriedly whispered: "In the past, when the prince went to Zhongcui Palace, he was surrounded by slaves, but recently, the prince went to Zhongcui Palace alone, and the slaves bumped into the prince several times, only to see him walking in a hurry and looking strange. ”
After listening to Pei Han's narration, the queen felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered someone to follow secretly to see what the prince was doing in Zhongcui Palace?
Subsequently, the palace maid sent by the queen to follow the prince returned to the palace and told the queen: "It seems that the prince went to Zhongcui Palace because the prince missed his mother, and he just walked around Zhongcui Palace and left." ”
When the queen heard the palace maid say this, her heart was a little more steady.
"But......" The palace maid suddenly became slurred, and her expression was a little abnormal.
"But what?" The queen asked busily.
"Niangniang, after the prince came out of Zhongcui Palace, a cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hit the prince, and then the prince directly took the kitten to the rockery and killed the kitten."
"The prince killed the cat?" The queen's phoenix eyebrows frowned slightly, "The prince's personality has always been arrogant and arrogant, but how can his style of action be so vicious?" ”
"Niangniang," Ruyu, who was standing next to her, guessed: "The prince is so spicy, probably because of the lady concubine, he is resentful, and he wants to use this cat to vent." ”
The queen thought about it carefully and felt that what Ruyu said also made some sense, just as she was about to let the little palace maid who was following her go down, the little palace maid suddenly stepped forward and hugged the queen's legs, and cried in her mouth: "Niangniang, the slave is afraid." ”
"What the hell is going on, why are you crying?" Ruyu and the Empress glanced at each other.
"Queen Mother, that cat, that cat's death is too scary!"
After the queen obeyed this, she immediately got up and took people to the rockery together, and the scene in front of her made everyone present take a breath of cool air.
The cat was thrown to death, and its whole body was covered with blood stains that had been coagulated, and what was even more shocking was that the prince actually threw out all the organs in the cat's body.
"Mother, this ...... What are we going to do? Ruyu became incoherent out of fear.
The queen was really frightened when she saw the tragic image of the dead cat, she tried her best to calm the fear in her heart, and arranged: "Let a few little eunuchs put this dead cat in a bag and bring it back to our palace." ”
Pei Han didn't understand why she brought such a scary thing back, but when she saw the queen's gloomy face, she didn't dare to ask directly in front of others, since the queen wanted to bring it back, she naturally had her reasons.
On the side of the Criminal Department, the identities of all the dead have not yet been determined, their families have not been found, and several female corpses have been found in another place outside the city.
This time, Xie Wen took Xie Shiyun and Qin Lianyi to the scene together.
"The corpses were in the same condition as the ones we had found before, and the murderer had humiliated them to death and then dumped them naked in the wilderness."
One of them quickly reported all their findings.
Qin Lianyi was really angry when he saw these girls die so miserably: "This murderer is too rampant, he has committed many crimes in a row, and there is no royal law." ”
Xie Wen continued to ask about some things, but Xie Shiyun kept his head down, staring at the corpse, thinking about something.
"Shiyun, did you think of something?" Qin Lianyi asked tentatively.
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about one thing, who do you say has the audacity to dare to commit crimes in a place like the capital?"
Xie Wen asked: "This cannot be inferred at present, and the method is so cruel that ordinary people really can't do it." ”
The bodies found last time have not been claimed so far, but the newly discovered bodies this time were quickly identified, and they were all daughters of ordinary people in the capital.
Although it is a good thing that the body is claimed, the news of the appearance of a murderous maniac who specializes in killing young women in the capital has swept through the capital like a whirlwind.
Many of the people who have daughters at home have already packed up their things and are ready to temporarily defect to other relatives, while the people who stay in the capital lock their daughters in their homes all day, and the others are also in fear, for fear that they will become the next target of the murderer.
