Chapter 56: A Special Fragrance

Over the years, she doesn't know how many unjust cases she has solved, how many people have been redressed, and sometimes he admires it very much, so for some cases, he can completely let her complete them.

After listening to Shang Weihang's analysis of the case, Situ Yimo went to the morgue, although there was celery grass burning in it, it still couldn't cover the rotten smell of the corpse, so she had to walk in with ginger slices in her mouth.

With the addition of today's one corpse, there are a total of seven corpses in the morgue, and the corpses sent in today are being examined.

Situ Yimo walked over, looked up at the neatly arranged corpses, and suddenly felt a little cold, this was the first time she had seen so many corpses.

She didn't know what kind of psychology the murderer had to kill so many people.

If it was for revenge, these seven people had nothing in common, and they had not offended anyone in common.

If it weren't for hatred, how could you kill these people who have no connection? Could it be because of boredom?

Situ Yimo looked at the file in her hand in confusion, and she looked carefully word by word to see if there were any clues.

"The first deceased, Qin She, male, thirty-four years old, the owner of Qin Ji Teahouse, died at the mouth of Lewei Lane on the first day of Jiayue, the cause of death was the death of a thin instrument cutting his neck."

"The second deceased, Sun He, forty-six years old, the owner of Sun Ji Restaurant, died at the East City Gate on the evening of the third day of Jiayue, the cause of death was falling into the moat and dying."

"The third deceased, Xie Peng, 22 years old, a guy from the Qin Ji Teahouse, died at the mouth of Lewei Lane on the evening of the fifth day of Jiayue, and the cause of death was the death of a thin instrument cutting his neck."

"The fourth deceased, Zhang Wei, male, 26 years old, a tea merchant in Minxian County, died at the East City Gate on the evening of the 7th of Jiayue, the cause of death was a fine instrument cutting his neck."

"The fifth deceased, Cao Pu, thirty-nine years old, the shopkeeper of Sun Ji Tavern, died at the East City Gate on the night of the ninth day of Jiayue, the cause of death was a sharp weapon cut his neck and died."

"The sixth deceased, Zhou Zhijun, the second young master of the Zhou family, a wealthy merchant in Min County, died in a broken temple in the south of the city on the 12th of Jiayue, and the cause of death was a sharp weapon that cut his neck."

Situ Yimo took a closer look at the case file, and his heart was even more confused, except for Sun He, who fell into the moat and died, the other five were all killed by sharp weapons.

Qin She and Xie Peng are both at the mouth of Situ Lewei Alley, Zhang Wei, Sun He and Cao Pu all died at the East City Gate, and only Zhou Zhijun died in the broken temple in the south of the city.

Also, Qin She is the owner of Qin Ji Teahouse, and Xie Peng is a buddy of Qin Ji Teahouse, both of whom died at the mouth of Lewei Alley.

Sun He and Cao Pu, one is the owner of Sun Ji Restaurant, and the other is the shopkeeper of Sun Ji Restaurant, both of whom died at the East City Gate. However, the cause of death is different.

The two causes of death in Qin's Teahouse are in the same location, and the two places in Sun Kee Restaurant are the same, but the cause of death is different.

One is a teahouse, the other is a restaurant, there is a tea merchant, and the other is the concubine of a wealthy merchant. It is very clear on the case file that these six people do not have deep contact with each other.

As a tea merchant, Zhang Wei has business dealings with Qin She, the owner of Qin's teahouse, but he doesn't have much contact in private, and the two have no friendship except for necessary entertainment.

The tea in Sun Ji Restaurant is bought from Zhang Wei, and on weekdays, the shopkeeper Cao Pulai and Zhang Wei take over the tea trading business, and Sun He, as the owner, rarely shows up.

As the concubine of a wealthy businessman, Zhou Zhijun, he loves tea very much, and always goes to Qin Ji Tavern to drink tea on weekdays, but he has no friendship with Qin She. The restaurant he often goes to is not Sun Ji Restaurant, and it has nothing to do with Sun He and Cao Pu.

So, why did the murderer kill these six people? It can be said that the murderer killed people randomly, but why did the two people in Qin Ji Tavern have the same cause and location, and the two people in Sun Ji Tavern both died at the East City Gate?

This shows that murderers kill people regularly! Also, why did you choose the entrance of Lewei Lane and the East City Gate? Neither of these places is sparsely populated, but rather bustling with people.

So, why do these two have to be the scene of the crime? Or does it have some special meaning?

Situ Yimo shook her head, flipped through the file in confusion, and when she found nothing, she lifted the white cloth and examined the body.

"Lord of the county, my lord asked me to assist you." Qi Hu came from outside, and saw Situ Yimo inspecting the corpse, the rancid smell made him feel sick in his stomach, and he hurriedly took the ginger slices again.

"You just came back from the Ghost Forest?"

Situ Yimo stood beside the corpse with a frown, even though her stomach was overwhelming, she still endured her nausea and sniffed the smell of the corpse carefully, because she had just smelled a very strange aroma.

"There is no news from the Lord of Nirui and the Third Miss so far, we can only look for clues in the forest. But there are so few traces left that we have nowhere to find them!"

Qi Hu was very irritable, he hadn't caught the murderer yet, and he actually died another one today! Knowing that the above are all concerned about this case, they still dare to kill people, which does not take them into account at all, let alone the law.

Situ Yimo was also very worried about the safety of the Nirui County Lord, and the legendary ghost forest was turned upside down by her second uncle, and no one was found.

It seems that at present, they can only be found by solving the case as soon as possible and catching the murderer.

"I've read this file several times, and I haven't found anything special."

"In the past few days, we have been investigating the case day and night, squatting at the mouth of Lewei Alley and the East City Gate, investigating one by one, but we have not found anything."

Qi Hu rubbed his red and swollen eyes, looking very tired, "Originally, there was a suspect in this case, but it's a pity that he also died." ”

"Suspects? What suspects? Situ Yimo was surprised.

Qi Hu stepped forward, looked at the file in Situ Yimo's hand, pointed to the fourth deceased and said, "It's him, Zhang Wei." ”

Situ Yimo looked over, Zhang Wei, male, 26 years old, a tea merchant in Minxian County, died at the East City Gate on the 7th of Jiayue, the cause of death was the death of a thin instrument cutting his neck.

Is this person a suspect? But why didn't the case file say that he was a suspect?

Surprised, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do you say he's a suspect?" ”

Qi Hu replied, "Because someone saw Zhang Wei and Xie Peng arguing on the street the night before Xie Peng's death, and Zhang Wei also asked his entourage to beat Xie Peng. ”

"Xie Peng is just a tavern guy, why is he arguing with Zhang Wei?"

"According to the people present at the time, it seems that Xie Peng's little sister is missing, so he blocked the street and scolded Zhang Wei."

The corners of Situ Yimo's eyebrows could be twisted into a rope, and she was very confused, "My sister is gone?" His sister is gone, why do you want to scold Zhang Wei? Could it be that his sister's disappearance has something to do with Zhang Wei? ”

Qi Hu was also puzzled, "We went to investigate, Xie Peng's sister has been unable to see since she was a child, the two of them are orphans, they have no parents for a long time, and the brother and sister have always depended on each other." To say that his sister's death is related to Zhang Wei, we haven't found anything, but Xie Peng's sister is indeed missing, and it should be almost a month. ”

"How old is Xie Peng's sister this year?"

"About eight years old."

"Did the yamen ask someone to look for it?"

Qi Hu scratched his head, frowned and said, "No, because no one reported the case, and so many people died at once, the Minxian Yamen didn't send someone to find it." ”

Situ Yimo frowned, not knowing why she was a little concerned about Xie Peng's sister's disappearance. But she couldn't tell where it was.

After being stunned for a while, she sniffed it carefully, nodded her eyebrows, took another sip of ginger, and went to another corpse, and instantly smelled a very strange aroma, stunned, and went to several other corpses to sniff carefully, her eyes lit up.

It seems that she has to go to the Xiangfang in Min County. Rouge gouache and the like, she has to smell it carefully!

Suddenly thinking of something, she asked again, "What did Xie Peng scold Zhang Wei?" ”

"Scolding what?"

Qi Hu scratched the back of his head, thought about it carefully, tried to be as elegant as possible, and said, "The people at the scene said that Xie Peng scolded Zhang Wei for being a brute, killed his sister, and cursed him for not dying well. ”

Situ Yimo raised his eyebrows and pondered, and after washing his hands at this moment, he came over with the autopsy sheet and told him about today's corpse.

“…… The fatal wound is the strangulation mark on the neck, like the previous ones, they were strangled by some kind of very thin thread, but the villain has been a servant for more than 20 years, and he has never seen a thread that can strangle people to death. ”

Situ Yimo took the autopsy sheet submitted by the presumptuous and looked through it carefully, and the situation was almost the same as the others, and it could be concluded that it was the same murderer.

"Did you notify his family?"

"I've already let people go to inform me, but Lin Yuanwai is not in Min County at present, and there are only female dependents at home, so it may be a little slow." Qi Hu replied.

Situ Yimo nodded, and after handing over the autopsy sheet, she walked out of the morgue, and suddenly smelled the fresh air, and she suddenly felt that her body was much more relaxed.

just looked up at the bright sunshine, but she felt depressed, if the murderer was not caught for a day, someone's life would be threatened.

It's just that they don't even know what the murderer's motive for killing is.

However, she thought that since the murderer wanted to kill a few of them, there must be some kind of resentment towards them, so if she wanted to find the murderer, she still had to check from the deceased.

So she asked Qi Hu to check the deceased's living situation again, especially the emotional aspect, because she smelled a very special fragrance on each deceased, much like rouge gouache used by women.

So, she went to the shop where she bought rouge gouache in Minxian to see if there was any rouge gouache with the same fragrance as the deceased's body.

She first went to a few well-known rouge gouache shops, and asked the shopkeeper to take out each rouge, and she carefully smelled nearly forty kinds of rouge gouache, but none of them made her feel a similar smell.

When the female shopkeeper saw that Situ Yimo was dressed in wealth, she knew that she was noble, so she entertained her very warmly and politely, and when she smelled all the rouge gouache in the store, she didn't seem to be satisfied, she grinned.

"I wonder what kind of rouge gouache this young lady wants? The rouge gouache I sell in this red shop is the best in Minxian County!"

"Is your rouge gouache here the most complete in Min County?"
