Chapter 1914 - Pulled into the water
Li Wanjiang's face was extremely gloomy, and before the three of them finished kneeling, he immediately asked, "Have you found out the murderer?" ”
It's not a good question, because what happened just a few hours ago, no matter how capable your courtiers are, they can't solve the case so quickly.
"Not yet." Zhu Xiaochuan said stubbornly, "The on-site investigation has just ended, and no too useful clues have been found so far, only Wang Anbang left a few bloody words." ”
"What bloodword?" Li Wanjiang asked.
Shao Wenzhao hurriedly opened the scene map that he copied out and asked the emperor to take a look, but there was no photographic technology yet, so he could only ask the painters of the Criminal Department to sketch the scene in the form of sketches, but he also painted very finely.
Wang Anbang died in bed, wearing only underwear, and it cannot be said that he was dead without looking at him, because his head was missing.
When the family found the body, his body was still hot, so the time of death should have been around three o'clock, and the sheet was missing, which should have been cut off by the murderer to wrap his head.
Before the murderer attacked him, he should have woken up, and he also recognized who the murderer was, so before he died, he left two strokes, but unfortunately he didn't write them completely.
The murderer was extremely cruel, stabbed him several times, and finally cut off his head, so that he could leave two handwritings before he died, as for why he did not cry for help, it may have been gagged or his tongue crushed......
The family confessed that they didn't hear any movement, which shows that the murderer must be able to do martial arts and light skills are quite good, and the murderer should be familiar with the situation in the house, at least he has been there, after all, there are hundreds of rooms, and it is not easy to find his study.
In addition, Wang Anbang only lived in the study when he was in the early dynasty, and usually lived in the inner house with his wife.
However, Mrs. Li and his family said that the inner house was not disturbed, because the doors and windows were in good condition and there were no traces of damage, which greatly increased the suspicion of the people in his house, after all, it was impossible for outsiders to know his work and rest habits......
So now control all the people in his mansion and prepare for the next detailed investigation.
"What could that be?" Li Wanjiang looked at the two strokes and fell into deep thought.
"It may be the murderer's name, nickname, official position, occupation...... Shao Wenzhao said, "but it may also be that he drew it casually because of the pain at the time, and it is difficult to deduce a complete word, because it seems to be a horizontal and a vertical, but it may also be a skimming ......."
"Are there any suspects?" Li Wanjiang asked.
"Your Majesty, Wang Anbang has been a heavenly official in the Ministry of Officials for many years, and he has offended thousands of people, and there are not a few who want his life, so ......" Zhu Xiaochuan didn't want to hurt too many innocents, after all, the lesson of the last Tianxuanhui case was too profound.
If all the suspects are arrested, I am afraid that it will shake the government and the opposition and cause panic.
"Xiao Chen, why are you here?" Li Wanjiang nodded, as if he had just seen Xiao Chen.
"Back to the emperor, it was the minister Xiao Chen who found him, and he is very experienced in handling cases." Zhu Xiaochuan said busily.
"Well, anyway, you don't have anything to do now, so let's work with Wen Zhao to assist Xiaochuan in this case." Li Wanjiang completely pulled Xiao Chen into the water with a word.
"Obey." Xiao Chen secretly scolded Zhu Xiaochuan for not being interesting enough, this has nothing to do with Lao Tzu at all, and he finally stopped at home for a few days, but he was in such a big trouble.
Fortunately, the assistance is not the host, otherwise it will be a big headache.
"What do you think?" Li Wanjiang asked.
"Just now, Marquis Zhu and Lord Shao also analyzed it for a while." Xiao Chen said, "I think the murderer must still be in the city at the moment......
"So what?" Li Wanjiang said, "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Fengyang City, do you still have to search every house one by one?" ”
"That's not going to happen." Xiao Chen said, "After all, this is just a homicide case, and it is likely to be a personal grudge, it is not appropriate to conduct a city-wide search with great fanfare, at present, we can only control the murderer in the city as much as possible to prevent him from escaping, so we must set up some people at the city gate to interrogate the suspects who went out of the city." ”
"There are tens of thousands of people who go out of the city every day, how can we check this?" Li Wanjiang said.
"Marquis Zhu, Lord Shao and the ministers think that a targeted investigation should be carried out." Xiao Chen said.
"What's the law?" Li Wanjiang asked.
"According to the current situation, it can be determined that the murderer knows martial arts, and the martial arts are quite good, because it is not easy to cut off a person's head, and according to the scars on Lord Wang's body, the murderer used a short knife or dagger, but the wound on Lord Wang's neck is extremely smooth, and the head is cut off with a short knife and dagger so neatly, ordinary people can't do it."
"It can also be determined that the murderer knows Lord Wang, so if it is not a person in his mansion, it is also a person who has been in and out of his mansion, and there are not many outsiders who can enter and exit his mansion and have been to his study, so the murderer is likely to be a close servant or even a close relative of a certain senior member of the court!"
"Insider?" Li Wanjiang was surprised, "You mean the murderer may be a woman?" ”
"I can only say that this possibility cannot be ruled out." Xiao Chen said, "So Marquis Zhu, Lord Shao and the minister just discussed that they should arrange a few martial arts masters at each city gate, at least they must have the eyesight to see whether the other party can do martial arts, if they know martial arts, and they are from a certain official's family, then even if they are suspicious, they can be interrogated and even controlled." ”
"Uh...... I can send some Ouchi guards, and you can watch the rest of the arrangements. Li Wanjiang's analysis of Xiao Chen still agrees, "So how do you investigate next?" ”
"Here's a list." Shao Wenzhao said, "People who have been to Wang Anbang's mansion within a month and have entered his study are among them, although there are a large number of people, but the minister can complete the investigation within a few days, of course, other investigations will also be carried out." ”
"I think it's better to investigate secretly as much as possible and control the scope of insiders to a minimum." Zhu Xiaochuan said, "The minister has already told everyone who is handling the case that no one is allowed to leak the situation at the scene!" After all, Wang Anbang is the secretary of the ministry, and if this matter spreads, it will be extremely detrimental to the stability of the court, so it is currently said that Wang Anbang died of illness. ”
"Well, Xiaochuan is what Lao Cheng is planning to do." Li Wanjiang was very satisfied, and sighed again, "It's just that Anbang died young, but it really shook me a little." ”
Several people asked the emperor to be sure to mourn and take care of the dragon's body......
"There is something I want to tell the emperor......" Shao Wenzhao said and glanced at Gong Shouli, it seems that it is a very confidential matter, and it is necessary to retire from idle people.
Gong Shouli pretended not to see it, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu is the emperor's henchman, better than a few of you? Is there anything you have to hide from Lao Tzu?
Lao Tzu won't leave!
