Chapter 15: Serial Murders
The person in front, dressed in the crimson regular clothes of the fast class officer, has a sturdy body, a dark complexion, resolute eyes, and is about thirty years old, and he is Jiang Fei, the head catcher of the fast shift in the third class of the Shengdu Mansion.
The one in the back, also dressed in the same costume, is quite tall, but he is still young, with a baby face, and two cute little pear vortices, and the shape of his eyes is very special, like the eyes of a deer, clear and warm.
That's it, the new little catcher in the fast class.
Xiu'er often said that his dimples grew according to her.
Hao Se's heart jumped: "Jiang Zhutou, what's the matter?" ”
"My lord, there is a murder case in Xicheng District......" Jiang Zhutou spoke clearly and quickly to Hao Se and said the whole story of the matter.
Roughly speaking, there were two murders in Xicheng District last night, and the victims were all young and beautiful women. When they were found, they were all disheveled, and it seemed that they should have been killed by gangsters, and it is estimated that they had been humiliated before their deaths.
The yamen was also reported by the masses when the soap shift officials who stayed on duty that night were about to dawn. The specific situation is not clear at the moment, and I am about to wait for her to report to her, and immediately dispatch the fast shift officials to the scene.
"You bring a few brothers with me to the scene, and in addition, bring Liu Lao with you......" Hao Se made a simple arrangement, turned around and walked outside the yamen.
You have to go to the scene as soon as possible, because after a long time, the scene may be destroyed, making it more difficult to solve the case.
Originally, as the Shaoyin of Shengdu Mansion, she didn't have to go to the scene in person, she only needed to be in command.
But the performance appraisal of the Shengdu Mansion was counted on her Hao Se's head. Under the root of this imperial city, if there is any big basket of public security, the emperor will blame it, and it will also be unlucky for her, the young Yin of the Shengdu Mansion.
So go see for yourself and rest assured.
According to the information provided by the informant, Hao Se and his party arrived at the scene not long after.
The scene has been cordoned off in advance by the officials, and the onlookers are isolated with strips of cloth.
The victim's family also came up at this moment, crying and asking the yamen to find out the real culprit for their daughter and give justice to the deceased. The onlookers pointed and whispered, and there was a commotion at the scene.
"Lord Hao, you're here." The officials at the scene were relieved when they saw Hao Se coming, and hurriedly came up to salute.
Hao Se nodded, ready to lead someone into the scene.
"My lord, the scene is too bloody, if you feel unwell, just go outside, Elder Liu will report all the circumstances of the corpse." The officer hesitated.
Can such a good-looking person as Lord Hao stand this scene?
Hao Se waved his hand: "Get out of the way, Lord Ben will personally inspect the scene." ”
Afraid of blood? When they trained, they hadn't seen anything. Although at first she vomited dizzily.
After signaling the next work, Hao Se took a closer look.
To be honest, the scene was really a bit bloody. Mainly, both women's lips were cut off, and there were knife wounds on their bodies.
The man over there finished the inspection and reported to Hao Sebu: "My lord, the lips of the two women have been cut off on their faces. There are bruises on all bodies. He died of a knife wound, and according to the shape and details of the wound, it was preliminarily judged to be a small size and a sharp weapon. The time of death is speculated to be in the first half of the night and the second half of the night...... Both women's wounds were carved with knives in the shape of an apricot blossom. ”
"Apricot blossoms?" Hauser frowned.
"Well, my subordinates believe that this may be the same person as another murder that happened five months ago. Because at that time, the woman also had the exact same apricot blossom pattern on her body, and her lips were cut off. ”
Hauser nodded, five months ago, she hadn't been in office, so she wasn't involved in that case.
However, she once flipped through the file and stumbled upon it. It's just that the case has never been solved.
Is it still a serial murder case carried out by a perverted flower thief?
Some flower thieves like to engage in some perverted things. For example, branding the victim or collecting the victim's organs, out of a perverted mentality of declaring the spoils of war.
Hao Se thought for a while and asked, "Old Liu, is there a judgment on whether a woman has ever been humiliated, I mean, has she ever been violated by gangsters?" ”
"This ......" hesitated, and according to experience, it was eight or nine without leaving ten.
It's just that in this era, the woman will not be inspected in certain places, because it may cause strong opposition from the family.
Hao Se sighed, asked Jiang Zhutou to take a piece of cloth to tightly surround the scene, and then went in alone.
She'd have to see for herself.
Although there is a high probability that he is a flower thief, it must be confirmed that this is a murder case, and any clue may point in a different direction.
It's difficult, she understands. But she's a modern person, and she doesn't have that psychological barrier.
Then it would be nice for her to come by herself, but considering the people's feelings, she didn't let people know.
After Hauser's examination, as she expected, the two women had indeed been violated.
However, when she checked it closely, she could smell the same smell on both women.
She was sensitive to taste, so she could probably tell what it was.
Hao Se came out from behind the curtain and ordered Jiang Zhutou in an orderly manner: "Check all the people who work with butchers in this Xicheng District, visit the neighborhood to investigate family relationships, and pay special attention to shoe size." Then bring the victim's family back and ask the victim's interpersonal relationship and yesterday's activity trajectory in detail, focusing on the investigation........"
This case, Hao Se felt that it should not be too complicated, she just deduced a little bit based on various details, it should not be difficult to solve the case.
The leader of Jiang Zhu took the order and left.
Hao Se went back to Shengdu Mansion first, and she had to go back to work out some details.
At noon, just as he was about to go to eat something first, a catcher ran in again: "My lord, it's not good." Halfway up the Xiangquan Mountain behind Wanlv Lake, there was another death next to the Xiangquan Courtyard. Three, three lives......"
Hauser's head throbbed.
Not again!
The report was discovered by a few hunters who had gone hunting in the mountains together.
This time it was two young women and a woodcutter who died.
Several hunters went up to the mountains early in the morning to hunt, and on the way back they seemed to hear a faint scream, and when they searched for the sound, they found three corpses.
Hao Se was a little depressed, what an unlucky day today, one murder after another, if this is not dealt with, the people have rumors or something, and it is easy for people to panic.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is easy to alarm the high-level, so she can bear it, the most difficult official in the capital.
"Prepare a horse for me." Hao Se said in a deep voice.
Grandma's, dare to blatantly kill and set fire to her territory? She went to see where the divine was doing the demon.
The horseback riding was very fast, and Hao Se's riding skills were also very good, and it didn't take long for him to leave the city and head for Wanlu Lake.
When he arrived at Wanlv Lake, Hao Se suddenly remembered that the Baihualou of the Oiran Contest was also in Wanlv Lake.
Looking at the Baihualou from afar, I was a little puzzled: Qinglou should go to Huajie Willow Lane to pile up, which melon baby wants to run this Wanlv Lake to be unusual?
I was in a hurry, and I didn't think much about it, so I hurried by.
Not far behind Baihualou is the passage up the mountain, and it is not very convenient to ride a horse, so Hao Se walked with Hu Xiaodou and a few other officials, as well as Liu Lao.
The place where the accident happened was halfway up the mountain, a place called Xiangquan Annex.
When he arrived at the scene, Hao Se personally checked it again, and combined with Liu Lao's autopsy report, he concluded that the two women were also the same as the two victims in Xicheng District, their lips were cut off, and there were apricot blossom marks near the wounds on their bodies.
The knife edge is similar, but slightly different. However, it is not possible to determine whether it was necessarily the same murder weapon.
This is the similarity between the two murders.
The woodcutter who was killed, on the other hand, was only killed, and there were no other marks on his body.
"Master Hao, is this the apricot blossom thief doing it again?" Liu Lao frowned, "This is too cruel, insulting people's innocence and trampling people's corpses like this." Such a thief has to be brought to justice as soon as possible, no, I have to hurry up and let my daughter not go out during this time, this is terrible. ”
Hauser frowned and didn't speak.
"My lord, my subordinates also guessed like this, so the woodcutter should be very likely to be an innocent person who accidentally encountered a thief and was murdered." Hu Xiaodou continued Zhang Tongzuo's words.
Liu Lao nodded in agreement.
Hao Se thought about it, walked into the two women, didn't care about the blood and hideous expressions all over his body, half-knelt down, approached the two women, and carefully inhaled with his nose.
The action was abrupt.
Wrong!
This doesn't smell right!
