Chapter 521: Portrait of a Murderer

When Chen Ying heard this, she waved her hand indifferently, but what she was worried about was another matter.

"Qian Tianxue was killed by someone, this is certain, but ......" She looked at Pei Shu with a hint of worry in her eyes: "...... This murderer should come from within. If I'm not mistaken, the perpetrator is in this mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, the breath on Pei Shu's body cooled suddenly.

"Compared with judging the nature of this case, I think it is more difficult to catch the murderer." Chen Ying continued, and the gloom on her face turned to slaughter: "Everyone in this mansion is suspicious. Moreover, this may not be a single crime, behind the murderer, there may be a mastermind. ”

At this point, her face was extremely solemn.

Pei Shu actually had nails hidden next to him.

Just thinking about this made her feel a chill down her back.

However, on second thought, this matter does not seem to be bad. At least, Qian Tianxia's death proves the suspicions of the Pei family for more than ten years.

Pei Shu's father, Pei Guang, did die at the hands of his own people.

It was a premeditated murder, and its purpose was chilling.

The battle between the two armies and the death of the commander are no longer the survival of one person and one body, but the rise and fall of the whole army and even the fortunes of the country. If Pei's army had not won this battle at a tragic price, would today's Great Chu still be so prosperous?

No one dared to make such assurances.

Extrapolating from the timeline, when Xiyi detained the border, it was the time of King Kang's mutiny, and the two echoed each other from afar, and this vague connection also made Qian Tianxia's case have obvious political overtones.

The person who plotted to kill Pei Guang not only collaborated with the enemy, but also committed treason.

If, as Pei Shu said, this person is hidden among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, then Qian Tianxia will be killed and killed.

Chen Ying even had a vague feeling: the person who shot Pei Guang more than ten years ago is likely to be the same person who killed Qian Tianxia today.

Even if it's not a direct one, the planner should be the same.

"I don't know if Ah Ying has that for this murderer...... That portrait? ”

Pei Shu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and if Jin Se played the drum lightly and quietly like a Shu qin, Chen Ying turned back to his thoughts.

She frowned for a moment, knowing what she was saying.

He said he was talking about criminal profiles.

During the previous Xiaoxingshan stabbing case, Chen Ying drew a profile of the murderer in front of Emperor Yuan Jia, and Pei Shu thought that he knew about it at that time.

"I can give you a preliminary portrait right now." Chen Ying said slowly, took off her gloves, and put them in her work bag: "From the perspective of the means and time of the crime, the first characteristic of the murderer is fineness, which is manifested in the following aspects. ”

She lowered her eyebrows slightly, and her voice was soft and deep: "First of all, he is familiar with the time and movement of the people of all colors in the mansion to patrol the night, the route of action, and the time and movement of Lianqian Tiantian and the night, etc., which shows that the murderer has observed them for a long time and meticulously and made sufficient preparations; ”

While speaking, Chen Ying had already walked to the window and looked up into the distance.

The peach and plum in the garden have been exhausted, the fragrant flowers are drifting away with the water and the residual red, and the floating clouds on the horizon are scattered, revealing the clear blue sky.

Her voice was also a little clear and quiet: "Second, the murderer deliberately chose to do it on a rainy night, making full use of the advantages of the rain sound to cover most of the sounds, the traces left by the rain can be washed away quickly, and the rainy night is easy to make people sleepy and lose their vigilance, etc., which is really thoughtful; Thirdly, the use of methods such as cross-dressing and deliberately being discovered by witnesses to forge the false appearance of falling into a well is also a manifestation of its refinement. ”

After a pause, she continued: "In addition to this, the murderer may have some position in the mansion, which is not only unnoticeable, but also has some privileges, powers, or conveniences, which allows him to enter and leave the mansion with ease, and to obtain drugs with relative ease, and put them in the soup without arousing suspicion. ”

"You mean, those two family members who slept to death were still drugged?" Pei Shu reacted extremely quickly, and immediately asked, his face so cold that he could scrape off the ice slag.

"I do think so." Chen Ying stood with her back to her, and her voice couldn't help but float over: "However, I think the murderer should not use drugs, after all, it is not easy to prepare drugs, and the residue after dispensing drugs is not easy to clean up." With this person's finesse, he should be looking for some more ordinary and confusing medicines, such as tranquilizing soup and the like. ”

"Soothing soup?" Pei Shu whispered, his voice almost broken.

Chen Ying's eyes tightened, and she quickly looked back: "What?" What do you think of? ”

At this time, Pei Shu's face was so blue and black, and the sight shot from his eyes could almost freeze people.

"My father had several old subordinates, and now they all live in that compound with Qian Tianchuan." His eyebrows tightened, and the hand behind him became bruised: "One of them is a senior surnamed Ge, because he has recently contracted a cold, the doctor has prescribed him a lot of medicines, including several pairs of soothing soups. ”

"Is there really a soothing soup?" Chen Ying opened her eyes slightly, very incredible.

She just casually gave an example, not wanting to say it in a word.

"It's a very important discovery." She bowed her head and said in a gentle voice: "If you send someone to search now, you will definitely find that there is one less pair of soothing soup." ”

She looked at Pei Shu, her face was not different, and her expression was calm: "I just said that everyone in this mansion may be a murderer, and there is probably more than one murderer. ”

"I know." Pei Shu nodded quickly, and the breath on his body was extremely cold: "It's just that I heard it at first glance, and my heart fluctuated for a while." ”

Chen Ying looked at him for a moment, wanting to say comfort, but felt that his words were pale, and in the end, he finally sighed.

What Pei Shu needs now is not comfort, but the truth.

She quickly sorted out her thoughts and continued the topic of Fang Cai: "Let's talk about the third characteristic of this murderer, which is that he is very bold and has good martial arts. The doors and windows of the deceased's courtyard were intact, and there were no traces of forcible entry, so I guessed that the murderer might have sneaked into the deceased's courtyard early in the morning, and only after the two family members were asleep did he show up to kill him, and then swaggered out of the main entrance to carry the body out of the dry well. ”

"Do you want to enter and exit through the main entrance?" Pei Shu didn't understand for a while, frowned and asked: "However, if the gate of that courtyard is only covered, if it is discovered, wouldn't it be bad for him?" ”

"No, it won't. On the contrary, this is exactly what the murderer intended. Chen Ying turned her head to look out the window.

The green trees were swaying in the sun, and her eyes seemed to be dyed a little deep: "The deceased went out to clean his hands, accidentally fell into the well, and never returned." In that case, how can the gate of the courtyard be closed? ”

Pei Shu was stunned for a moment, and finally turned the corner, feeling a little frightened.

The more thoughtful the murderer, the more difficult it is to catch him, and the risk will increase exponentially.

He lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze cold.

Even if he digs three feet into the ground, he has to let this real murderer have nothing to hide.
