Walking in the middle of the night, he took Helian Mingxuan to the Criminal Department, and then took Helian Mingxuan to the scene of the crime.

The capital is still very large, the population is large, the inner city is fine, the outer city and the nearby Zhuangzi and villages outside the capital, there are murders every day, but there will definitely be no less, but small cases do not need to go through the hands of midnight.

And today, the case that Midnight took over was a small case that did not require him to act personally.

Two people died in a village called Baili Village outside Beijing, one was the butcher of the village and the other was the butcher's daughter-in-law.

Both were hacked to death with the butcher's own pig-killing knife, and the butcher's daughter-in-law was killed by a knife in the neck, and the butcher was more miserable, and the file complained that he had been stabbed seventeen times, and that the male characteristics were destroyed.

When he arrived at the scene of the crime at midnight, Heyun Zhongzheng of the Criminal Department, who was in charge of the case, was also here.

Helangzhong was transferred back to Beijing from Yezhou last year, and was later recruited into the groom from the Criminal Department at midnight.

"Lord Wang." As soon as he saw entering the house at midnight, Crane Langzhong hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"How?" Midnight scanned the surroundings.

The place where they were standing was supposed to be where the butcher sold pork, and there was a stall opposite it.

Two figures were painted on the ground with white paint, which is exactly what the body was in when it was found.

One is with both hands up, as if in surrender, the left leg is stretched straight out, and the right leg is slightly raised towards the inner torso. is about 1.6 meters tall, and he is on the small side, and what was lying in this position should be the woman's corpse.

The other is lying on his back, between 1.7 and 1.8 meters tall, burly, and a man.

Midnight: "Tell me about the situation. ”

"Yes."

Helangzhong has not only heard of the nineteenth master's ability to solve and investigate cases, but has witnessed it with his own eyes, so he called him in the middle of the night, and he was really stunned.

He already felt weird when the nineteenth master came to the scene in person for such a small case, and now the prince still wants him to say it?

Could it be that the prince is going to test him?

It's not right, if the prince wants to test him, he should have been tested when he was specially recruited to open the criminal department, why would he wait for him to be tested for almost a year after he joined the company?

But looking at the child behind Midnight, who was full of curiosity, Crane Langzhong probably knew what Midnight meant.

I once heard Feng Shangshu say that the prince took the only son of the eldest prince to the Xianwang Mansion as a son and raised him, this should be the widow of the eldest prince who was raised by the prince as a son!

Is this the prince cultivating the emperor's eldest grandson?

In a flash, Crane Langzhong explained more and more carefully, and tried to use all the vernacular to make it easier for people to understand.

"This position is the male deceased, there are 17 injuries on the body, hands, legs, abdomen, waist, chest, strength, brain, fatal wounds in the back of the head, dehiscence wounds, suspected to be caused by blunt objects.

The chest, waist, and strength were knife wounds, and the murder weapon had been found, which was the butcher's own pig-killing knife, and the knife had been sent to the Criminal Department as evidence.

The injuries to the hands and legs were also caused by blunt weapons, suspected to be the same murder weapon as fatal injuries, the murder weapon has not yet been found, and the general appearance of the murder weapon has been drawn, it is a stick with a big top and a small bottom, about this length. Tsururo kept gesturing with his hand while explaining.

Then he pointed to the location of the female corpse not far from the male corpse: "The female deceased was killed by a knife that cut her throat, and the murder weapon was the same murder weapon as the knife that caused the numerous wounds on the male deceased's body." ”

Midnight: "Their relationship? ”

Crane Langzhong: "The male deceased is the owner of this family, seven out of fifty this year, and he is a butcher. His wife died of illness two years ago, and he has never married and has been living at home since then.

After investigation, the male deceased was a womanizer, that is, when his wife was alive, he often had some abnormal contacts with widows or daughters-in-law in the village, and once his wife died, he became more and more emboldened, and often brought the widow to the house for the night.

The female deceased was the daughter-in-law of the male deceased, the male deceased had three sons and two daughters, and the female deceased was the daughter-in-law of the young son of the male deceased, who had just married into the family last year.

There are rumors in the village that there was an abnormal relationship between the male deceased and the female deceased, but this matter has not been ascertained and has no substantiated evidence. ”

"What about the suspects?"

"There are three suspects, one is the concubine of the widow Wang in the village, who makes a living by making frames, and knows that the widow Wang has a very close relationship with the deceased, and once threatened to kill the deceased in the village, and fought with the deceased several times during the Chinese New Year, and all of them saw blood.

This person has been ruled out that he was not in the village on the day of the crime, and his mother chose a little widow from a neighboring village as his daughter-in-law, and he went to the neighboring village to see his daughter-in-law in those days.

The second suspect is a man named Wang Hu in the village, who is engaged in a small shop business [similar to the current small shop], and his wife has an affair with the deceased has been confirmed, and his wife has also confessed.

This person has also been ruled out, Wang Hu was clamoring to divorce his wife, his wife returned to her parents' home, and his wife's mother's brother came to beat Wang Hu half to death, and Wang Hu was bedridden during the time of the crime.

The third suspect is the husband of the female deceased。。。。。。 ”

"Huh~~" Helian Mingxuan couldn't help but exclaim, and then hurriedly covered his mouth when he looked over in the middle of the night and Helang.

The corners of Midnight's lips hooked slightly, and he turned his head to signal Crane Langzhong to continue.

In the Crane Lang...

What else don't you understand, the prince's line of work today is to cultivate the eldest son!

[As for the emperor's eldest grandson or something, the emperor doesn't want to admit it, so it's not good for them to be called as courtiers. However, it's not that they are disrespectful as courtiers, of course, no one knows anyway.

The eldest prince is really not as good as the eldest son of the emperor's mansion, think about how talented the prince is raised by the regent as a son! If the eldest prince can really win the favor of the prince and grow up with the prince, imagine it, it is equivalent to the grandson of the regent!! 】

Retracting the sigh in his heart, Crane Langzhong continued: "The third suspect is the husband of the female deceased, and also the youngest son of the male deceased.

The suspect said that he was drunk at the time of the crime and did not know it. At the time of the incident, because it was late at night, and the deceased's house was at the end of the village, because the male deceased was a person, the family quarreled for three days, and the neighbors had moved away, so there were no eyewitnesses that night. ”

If there are no eyewitnesses, and the suspect refuses to admit it, then if the case is to be decided, he can only speak with evidence.

Midnight glanced at Helang Langzhong, and didn't say anything, but beckoned to Helian Mingxuan, and then walked out of the scene of the crime, hugged Helian Mingxuan on the horse first, and then got on the horse and left.

No wonder Feng Shangshu told him that Helangzhong is a good person and a good person, but there is one point that he is too proper in doing things, which is not quite in line with the style of their criminal department.
