Chapter 98
Gao Jin's explanation is similar.
The second victim, Gao Jin, has been teasing for a long time. That day, this kid used to stalk again, but he didn't expect that the woman, who had always ignored him, suddenly became very enthusiastic about him, and before he could tease him, he had already taken the initiative to pull him into the house.
Afterwards, when Gao Jin found out that the woman was dead, he was so frightened that he fled the scene as soon as possible, and hid back to his residence, not daring to come out for a day.
Unexpectedly, the next day, his old friend, the female disciple named Piaopiao, took the initiative to ask him for a secret meeting.
He was also a sperm worm with a brain and a lustful mind, completely forgetting yesterday's fright, and running over with joy.
As a result, Gao Jin was completely stupefied. Both of them died under him, which put a heavy psychological burden on him. Hiding in his residence, he was in a trance and delirious for several days, and he always felt that the souls of the two female disciples were wrapped around him, scrambling to have sex with him.
Today, if it hadn't been for the torture hall to bring him, he would have collapsed. After revealing everything and everything, Gao Jin collapsed on the ground as if relieved, and fell asleep.
The five rape and murder cases have all been revealed, and there is still no clue about the cases of Liu Xu's female disciple and Elder Zhang Hagi.
Zhou Zheng is not in a hurry. He judged that the murderer would definitely stop killing and go into hiding in the next few days.
Therefore, he gave everyone in the torture hall a holiday, so that everyone could go back to relax and relax at night. He himself took a hot bath and then slept comfortably.
The reason why Zhou Zheng is so sure is because in the first three cases, the murderer was carefully observed, and then committed the murder. If what Pan Hong and Gao Jin said was true, Zhou Zheng felt that it couldn't be faked. Then, the murderer must be a cautious person. Now, Cao Xiu imitates the same method to carry out rape and murder, which will definitely arouse the vigilance of the murderer.
As a cautious murderer, he will safely and patiently hide in the dark and wait for the right time to make a move. Even, if he feels that the limelight is not right, he will definitely lie dormant again.
This is what Zhou Zheng doesn't want to see! He needs the killer to rise up so he can have a chance to catch the murderer!
The next day, until the evening, Cao Xiucai sneakily came to find Zhou Zheng. Seeing that Zhou Zheng was indeed the only one in the house, he carefully presented a brocade box in front of Zhou Zheng.
There is only one gift list inside, and the things on it are enough for Zhou Zheng to set up another mountain and build a small sect.
"These things can be sent at any time and delivered to the place you designated, Elder Zhou." Seeing that Zhou Zheng was looking at the gift list but his face was expressionless, Cao Xiu was worried.
"Bring the medicine." Zhou Zheng opened his mouth abruptly, startling Cao Xiu. But he hesitated slightly, and still took out a jade bottle from his arms.
Zhou Zheng opened it and took a look, "Ascending Immortal San?" ”
"It's not. No, not exactly. This medicine is also a powder made from silver snake grass as the main medicine, and the effect is the same as that of Shengxian San. ”
Zhou Zheng nodded, and only then did a smile appear on his face.
"What's next, what are you going to do next? Do you want to keep moving? ”
"No, no! Our elders have already reprimanded me. Saying that what I did was counterproductive and hurt myself. ”
"That's right! I have exposed you too! If Maisendai delves into it, it will uproot all your dark stakes! ”
After meeting that person, Cao Xiu had already figured out the stakes in the middle, and he knelt in front of Zhou Zheng in a sincere panic, "Please also ask Elder Zhou to raise your noble hand!" ”
"You want me to let you go?"
"Nope! Pan Hong is unreliable, with Elder Zhou's wisdom, he will confess to me sooner or later. I just want to die. It's just that I am cowardly, and I am afraid of being held accountable after killing people, so I take advantage of my position to disguise the deceased as the death of the previous victims, in an attempt to blame the murderer and get by. Please also ask Elder Zhou to learn clearly! ”
Zhou Zheng couldn't help but admire the person behind Cao Xiu. This trick, high! Turn the sabotage behavior of the secret agent into the personal behavior of the color uprising, so as to achieve the effect of sacrificing one son to protect the overall situation. This man's mind is not simple!
At the same time, Zhou Zheng was also impressed by Cao Xiu's spirit of treating death as home for his own sect. This kid's usual performance is the image of a gangster who bullies men and women, but he didn't expect to be an iron-clad tough guy in his bones!
"Elder Zhou, don't worry, where do the things need to be delivered, you write them on paper and put them in the bottom gap of the left hand of the spirit bone tablet in front of the mountain gate, and someone else will handle these things. I'm not sorry to die! ”
Zhou Zheng looked at Cao Xiu again, "Not bad!" Is it Yunkong, or is it Yunling? I guess it's a cloudy sky. Yun Ling doesn't have so many fancy intestines! ”
Zhou Zheng's headless words scared Cao Xiu into a cold sweat, thinking that this Zhou Zheng is really difficult to deal with! He was secretly glad that the elder had expected it and gave him a way to deal with it.
"Disciple dares to ask for advice, why is Elder Zhou so sure that I am from Jiuhua Mountain?"
Zhou Zheng picked up the gift list, "Such a big deal." Then, he pointed to the jade bottle, "From the first case, you reported it, it has only been a few days, and you can judge the existence of the silver snake grass according to the death of the deceased, and you can also make a substitute for ascending immortal powder, and this strength is only Jiuhua Mountain and Tianlu Mountain." However, Tianlu Mountain has nothing to do with Maisendai. Only the previous section of Jiuhua Mountain had a dead head, and he was still the biological father of your Qingshi Elder. With Qingshi's temper, coupled with Jiuhuashan's suspicion, Daoxu's death is inseparable from Wuxiantai. So, I really can't think of anyone other than Jiuhua Mountain who is so active in messing up Wuxiantai? ”
Cao Xiu sincerely admires! "Elder Zhou is really smart! The disciple's parents are both from Jiuhua Mountain. It has been ten years since the disciple was sent to Maisendai since he was a child. I really didn't expect that with just one small mistake this time, Elder Zhou would be able to see through my identity at a glance. The disciple is served! ”
"Why didn't you kill Pan Hong?"
"First, Pan Hong's cultivation is not low, and it is not easy to assassinate. Second, I originally planned to bite Pan Hong and wanted to make this matter a little more muddy. Cover up for the real murderer and let him kill more people! Now, though..."
"Do you know who the real murderer is?"
"I don't know. However, as long as it is good for us, I will help him. ”
Cao Xiu smiled, took out a token from his arms and put it on the table, "This is the Elder Token of Jiuhua Mountain." As long as Elder Zhou is willing, he can take the token and go to Jiuhua Mountain at any time. Jiuhua Mountain will never treat Elder Zhou badly! ”
Zhou Zheng smiled, "The benefits are so big, I'm afraid it's not easy to take, right?" Tell me, what does Yunkong want me to do? ”
At this time, Cao Xiu was no longer hiding, "Elder Yunkong only asks Elder Zhou to wait and see what happens. If it is necessary for Elder Zhou to push the boat down the river at a critical time, please also ask Elder Zhou to lend a helping hand. ”
"The sky is so calculating! However, I can't take these benefits in vain. In this way, I intend to do so and so. You tell Yunkong these words, and he knows what to do. ”
"Yes! However, isn't the disciple going to subdue to the Fa? ”
"That's how you want to die?"
"No, no!" Cao Xiu's head shook like a rattle. Even if you can live and die, who wants to die? However, he couldn't figure out how he could get out of this incident?
"I only believe in you now, if you die, my line with Jiuhua Mountain will be broken! Do you understand? Come here with your ears, you do this and this, just do it! ”
"Understood!" Retrieving a life from the Ghost Gate, Cao Xiu felt like a dream. He brewed his emotions and lay on the ground and cried bitterly.
Such a loud cry quickly alarmed Liu Zi, Guan Ju and the others, and everyone quickly ran into Zhou Zheng's house, looking at Cao Xiu, who had sneaked in and knelt in front of Zhou Zheng, looking at each other.
"Take pen and ink and start the interrogation." Zhou Zheng explained and gave up the position of chief judge to Liu Zi. "Cao Xiu, you tell me what you told me before, explain it in detail again, don't shirk your responsibility and defend yourself! Be honest! ”
"Yes! Disciple understands! Cao Xiu cried and cooperated very well to tell what happened to him at the time of the crime.
"Senior sister, senior brother, on the night of the 15th, I met Senior Brother Pan Hong on the way home. He said that two female disciples would come to him in the evening, both of whom were his admirers. However, he only liked one of them, wanted me to help break the other one, and gave me a bottle of ecstasy.
I, I'm just a coward, and I followed it after a while. Later, I tricked one of them into the cave, and then, I really didn't know, the girl drank it, and it became excited. Her death really has nothing to do with me! ”
"Why didn't you tell the torture hall in the first place?"
"I, I'm afraid! Pan Hong came to me that night and said that as long as I kept my mouth shut, someone would take care of it. Moreover, there are great benefits for me in the future. But if I go around talking nonsense, their people won't let me go. ”
"Their people? What do you mean? Liu Zi became cautious.
Pan Hong said that there are many of them in Musendai, and there are their people in the torture hall. However, I was loyal to Elder Zhou, and I secretly wrote a letter and put it in his mansion as soon as possible. ”
Zhou Zheng took out a letter from his arms, "I haven't been back in the torture hall for the past few days, and I only found this letter when I returned to the cave yesterday." ”
He handed the letter to Liu Zi, and Cao Xiu gave a clear account of the details of that night.
Liu Zi frowned, "Are you familiar with Pan Hong?" Why would he ask you to do such a thing? ”
"I have known Pan Hong six or seven years ago. We, he's taken me like this many times before. ”
"So, what about the medicine?" Liu Zi is very attentive to every detail.
"That night, Pan Hong took it away."
"Why didn't he kill you?"
"I don't know. Maybe, maybe, he thinks I'm still useful. ”
"Be specific."
"I, in the past, Pan Hong asked me a lot about the head of the sect, as well as some secrets within the sect. At that time, I had a good face and told him. Now that I think about it, he must have been talking to me. I've always been by the boss's side, and Pan Hong may feel that he can use me. ”
Liu Zi paused for a moment, then stood up and whispered to Zhou Zhengyu, "Master, I suspect that Pan Hong is a spy of another sect. ”
Zhou Zheng also solemnly got up, "Liu Zi, Guan Ju, take a few people, you go to Pan Hong's residence and Cao Xiu's residence to search." Remember, don't let go of a single detail. ”
"Yes, Master!"
Watching everyone leave, Zhou Zheng had a smile on his face. Actually, Cao Xiu was right, there were indeed people from other sects in the torture hall, but it was not Pan Hong's, but Cao Xiu's Jiuhua Mountain.
Zhou Zheng also wants to see how much eyeliner Jiuhua Mountain has arranged in Wuxiantai and how big the waves can be stirred? This will have a direct correlation with whether and how he cooperates with Jiuhuashan!
Zhou Zheng, who was sitting in the torture hall waiting for the news, asked Yiyi to make a pot of tea, hummed a little song by himself, and tasted it leisurely and slowly.
Who is the real murderer?
He took the stack of materials handed to him by Yiyi, this was Elder Zhanghagi's interpersonal network, and the list of all the people who had entered and exited Elder Zhangh's mountain peak in the last two or three days.
There are almost no people on it who can be suspected, most of them are the personal female disciples of Elder Zhang's peak, and there are no men.
The only two men were Elder Wang Peng and Elder Zheng Yuan.
Wang Peng went to Zhang Hagi to discuss the business outside the door, while Zheng Yuan was carried by his disciples and asked for medicine from Elder Zhang Hagi. The time they entered and exited the mountain did not match the time of the crime, and at the time of the crime, both of them had witnesses to prove that they were not at the scene of the crime.
So how did the killer get into the mountain? In a place where there are no men, mixing in with a person of the opposite sex is easy to detect. Unless, she's a woman herself!
Zhou Zheng thought about it, thinking that he was happy first. It's not that he hasn't thought about men dressing up as women. However, he examined the disciples who entered the mountain peak, as well as the disciples who lived on the mountain peak with Zhang Hagi, and confirmed that all of them were female disciples.
What if, the murderer is not a man but a woman? So what's going on with Zhang Hagi's room?
Again, Zhang Hagi's cultivation. If you want to assassinate her, even if it is a sneak attack, you need to cultivate above the peak of the Heavenly Rank. There are only two such cultivators for the dance of Sendai, Miaose and Zhou Zheng himself.
Zhou Zheng first excluded himself. However, Miaose, there will be many ways to kill Zhang Hagi, and there is no need to use this risky means.
Could it be that there are still people who hide their cultivation like themselves?
However, it is quite difficult to conceal cultivation and not be discovered by a master like Miaose. Unless it is like he has a master who defends the sky, or he has entered the immortal level like he is now, and his cultivation is higher than that of Miaose.
However, if such a state is really reached, why is it so troublesome to kill?
So, what else did you not think of?
Ascension Scatter!
This is Maisendai's top secret. Miaose, a person who is dead set on the sect, will definitely not spread it. It can be seen from Cao Xiu's performance that he, the closest disciple of Miaose, does not know this secret.
That Supreme Elder had had had little contact with people in recent years, and he was in a close life, so the possibility of getting this news from his mouth was very low.
Then, only Zhang Hagi remains.
Zhang Hagi is also loyal to the sect, and he will definitely not pass on this secret. If anything, it must be to tell her closest disciple, or the man with whom she had sex.
The man's clues are almost nowhere to be found. There are seven close disciples, plus Liu Xu, a total of seven, all of whom are Zhang Hao's henchmen. Liu Xu was Zhang Hao's first disciple, and there were two other contemporaries with her, one named Zhang Rui and the other named Qian Hua. In addition to Liu Xu's promotion to elder, Zhang Rui and Qian Hua are now operating with Zhang Hao in charge of taking care of the shop outside the mountain gate.
They rarely stay in the mountain gate for a long time, but this time, because they have to check and sort out the accounts of previous years, they have been living on the mountain.
There are also four female disciples, who were screened by Zhang Hagi from his second batch of disciples, all of whom are refined and can speak well.
These four people were all sent down the mountain one after another to do errands before the crime, and they were not at the mountain gate. It was only after hearing the bad news from the master that they hurried back. So, the suspicion is minimal.
Zhou Zheng decided to start with these seven henchmen and make an inquiry for them.
