Chapter 75, Analysis of the Case
[The quest has been completed, and you will get a random reward: Strength +1]
The dossier reads:
"In the year of Gengzi, in the month of Kwai Siyue, on Jiazi Day, in the north of Guangyang County, there was a tragedy in the Wang's mansion, and twenty-three people died, all of whom were killed by sharp weapons, and a knife was fatal, and the baby could not be let go. The murderer robbed the Wang family and fled with a huge amount of money. There are three footprints left, which are suspected to have been committed by three people. ”
The dossier is written simply, defined as robbery and murder.
Meng Xing read it carefully, scrutinizing it word by word, trying to see something from it.
Luo Zhutou glanced at Meng Xing and sneered: "Little brother, you don't need to look so carefully, the case is very simple, the robber robbed the money, flew away, and couldn't find it." I have been investigating and secretly investigating for two months, but I have not found any thieves, which shows that the thieves are very clever, and they are also cultivators, and they do things neatly. ”
Meng Xing nodded, as a veteran criminal investigator in the county, he can achieve the position of the chief catcher, and he is also a talent, so he must be able to check everything.
Meng Xing took a sip of tea, thought about it in his heart, and said, "Luo Zhutou, before the murder case in the palace, did any strangers appear near the Wang family's courtyard?" ”
"I asked the surrounding residents at the time, and they all said they hadn't seen any strangers." Luo Zhutou said.
"Hmm. There are no strangers, one may be done by a familiar person, the second may be that the thief stepped on the spot at night and learned in advance that the Wang family was rich, and the third may be that the thief lives near the Wang mansion and knows the situation of the Wang mansion very clearly. Meng Xing analyzed.
Luo Zhutou was a little surprised, and said, "Little brother's analysis is very reasonable, continue to talk." ”
The people listened attentively.
"Are there any relatives of the Wang family who are cultivators? Did Luo Zhutou check? Meng Xing said.
"I didn't check this, I'll have someone check it now." Luo Zhutou scratched his head, and asked a catcher next to him to go and check.
"In the two or three nights before the crime, did anyone break into the Wang family's mansion, and was there anything unusual? For example, the sound of chickens and dogs barking is particularly strong, or is there other abnormal conditions? Meng Xing said.
"The people of the Wang family are dead, and there is no way to find out. However, I asked the surrounding residents, and they all said that there was nothing abnormal, and the Wang family's chickens and dogs did not bark, even on the night of the crime, they were quiet. It wasn't until the next day that a relative of the Wang family came to visit and found that none of the family had survived. Luo Zhutou said.
Meng Xing nodded and said, "This shows that the murderer who entered the house to rob and murder has a very high cultivation, at least the strength of the Eight Rank Condensation Realm, so it is possible to be so silent." And the file says that there are three footprints left, and it is suspected that they were committed by three people, is it because there are three pairs of particularly obvious footprints, and the footprints are about two feet? ”
"Yes." Luo Zhutou's expression was even more surprised.
"From this, it can be inferred that the killer can be determined to be a master of three or more eight-rank condensation realm strengths, and it is probably not easy to gather the forces of three or more eight-rank condensation realm masters in Guangyang County. As far as I know, there are also many people from the Red-clothed Demon Gate who are from the Eight-Rank Shura Realm, and there are more than a dozen of them in Tieshu Village. Meng Xing said.
Luo Zhutou's face changed slightly, and he said, "So, this case may not be a simple burglary and murder case?" ”
"Yes, it's possible." Meng Xing nodded.
"In Guangyang County, what forces can gather more than three Eight Rank Realm masters?" He asked again.
"In addition to the demons of the red-clothed demon gate, who can gather so many masters, in addition to the Duwei Mansion, there is also a Juxian Village."
"Juxianzhuang?"
"Juxian Village is established by a master of the God Refining Realm, which brings together more than a dozen masters above the Eight Grades Condensation Realm, the owner of the village is a casual cultivator, likes to practice, and competes with these masters every day to enhance their own cultivation." Luo Zhutou said.
"I see." Meng Xing nodded and said, "Isn't it strictly forbidden for such forces to appear in the imperial court?" Why would these people be allowed to come together and pose a threat to the county? ”
Luo Zhutou smiled bitterly and said, "The imperial court is not allowed, but Lord Du Wei allowed it, so no one cares." ”
Zhou Jingyun's eyes changed: "Captain Gao allowed it?" He has violated the laws of the imperial court, and it is the duty of my soul angel to impeach him. I'll tell him in a moment that if he doesn't let those people go, he'll wait for him to get out. ”
Luo Zhutou said: "Lord Zhou, as a soul angel, should be in charge, otherwise if this Juxian Village grows, the consequences will be worrying." ”
There was a moment of silence.
Meng Xing took a sip of tea, broke the silence, and said, "Luo Zhutou, have you checked if there are any cultivators living near the Wang family's mansion?" ”
"I've already checked, and the people who live nearby are all residents who have lived there for decades, and none of them are cultivators." Luo Zhutou said.
At this time, the one who went out came back and said that none of the relatives of the Wang family were cultivators.
However, it is not without gains, through a round of analysis, it was concluded that the three people who broke into the house and killed people were all above the eighth-grade level, except for the red-clothed demon gate, only Juxianzhuang could gather such three masters, and the scope was reduced a lot.
Zhou Jingyun said: "The red-clothed demon gate is hidden in the shadows, and it needs funds to develop, and it is very possible for them to kill people." ”
His mind also changed, thinking that this case might also be related to the people of the Red Demon Gate.
Everyone nodded, which everyone had already thought of.
"However, it is very difficult to find out the person in the Red Demon Gate. They are very good at hiding their tracks. Zhou Jingyun said.
Meng Xing thought for a while and said, "Luo Zhutou, have you ever been to the Wang family's mansion to check?" ”
"Nope. After the people of the Wang family were buried, a seal had been affixed so that no one was allowed to enter, and now it has become a deserted house. Luo Zhutou said.
Meng Xing stood up and said, "Let's go to the Wang family's mansion and have a look." ”
"Why?" Luo Zhutou was stunned.
"The people of the Red-clothed Demon Gate need a place to hide, and after the death of the Wang family's mansion, it has become a deserted house, will it be used as a stronghold by the people of the Red-clothed Demon Gate?"
Meng Xing said: "The most dangerous place is actually the safest place. There was a murder there, and it has become a murder house, and no one usually goes in at all. But for the people of the Red Demon Gate, hiding there may be the most suitable place. ”
Everyone's eyes changed suddenly, what Meng Xing said was very reasonable, the demon killing of the red-clothed demon gate is probably not only for money, but also to occupy a safe stronghold, an unexpected stronghold.
Undoubtedly, the abandoned Wang family mansion is very suitable.
"Let's go! Let's all go there and have a look. Luo Zhutou immediately said, calling more than a dozen catchers.
As a result, the group marched towards the Wang family's house in the north of the city, attracting attention along the way.
The speed of everyone was extremely fast, and after half an hour, they came to the Wang family's mansion.
Luo Zhutou tore the seal, led everyone in, and said to a dozen catchers: "Let's search together to see if there are any demons from the Red-clothed Demon Gate hiding here." ”
"Yes!" Many of the catchers quickly responded and searched the surroundings.
Meng Xing was also watching in the courtyard, no one lived in it for more than two months, and it had become a deserted yard, overgrown with weeds.
Through the corridor, there was dust everywhere, the walls of the room were mottled, and there seemed to be no one around.
Soon the catchers came back to tell them that the houses were empty, but strangely enough, a few of them were cleaned.
