XXXVIII. Investigation of cases

At this time, it was already the second half of the night, Longquan Villa had been completely blocked, and all the guests had been kicked out.

In view of the fact that this mountain villa is too big, Luoyang Mansion, according to the inspection of the yamen, the political envoy yamen and the yamen of the surrounding counties, have all sent officials to block and stand guard.

Even the surrounding county officials came to make up the numbers, and the momentum seemed to be extremely huge.

However, what can really intervene in the core of the case is still the head catcher led by Shi Lingtian, the head catcher in black and the head catcher of the six doors.

Among them, the head catcher is the head catcher of Luoyang Mansion; The black-clothed head catcher is the head catcher of the yamen according to the inspector; The six doors are directly under the jurisdiction of the three legal divisions of the imperial court. Although the three are all under the command of Shi Lingtian, they are different in nature and distinct.

To put it bluntly, whichever yamen pays them salaries, they belong to.

After Zhao Rui and Shi Lingtian entered the villa, they rode two tall horses and galloped all the way, and finally came to the small courtyard where Mrs. Huayin was.

When Shi Lingtian was investigating the case before, he had been in and out of Longquan Villa many times, either openly or secretly. But it has never been so unimpeded as it is today. He suddenly had a feeling of raising his eyebrows in his heart.

However, this feeling of raising eyebrows did not last long, and he was stunned by the shocking crime scene in front of him.

I saw that the wooden house in front of me had been burned to black charcoal, and the main structure had been burned down, leaving only a few lone pillars.

There was a large open space around it, and the ground was full of insect corpses.

Some of these bugs have carapaces, some have wings, and some look like maggots.

Looking at the color of the insects' bodies and the strange green liquid that seeped into the land, Shi Lingtian believed that these insects were highly poisonous.

"Order, except for me and Lord Zhao, no one is allowed to come within three feet of the scene, and at the same time, everyone should pay attention to the strange insects around them, these are all scabs and Gu worms from Dian Prefecture." Shi Lingtian said immediately.

"Yes." The expressions of the people around him were awe-inspiring, some of them had fought with the warriors of Dian Prefecture, and they were no strangers to this kind of thing, and at this moment, a large number of insects made their livers tremble.

Zhao Rui and Shi Lingtian asked their subordinates to find sheets and hats, and after wrapping their whole bodies tightly, they entered the corpse insect swarm.

Although they have the ability to hide from these corpse worms, their status is noble, and there is no need to take risks.

The more they walked towards the wooden house, the more insects there were, and the two of them looked at it and felt a little shocked.

With so many insects, if you attack, even if you have the ability to ward off poison, it will be extremely difficult to resist.

Shi Lingtian thought to himself that unless he contained the poison beads refined by the Imperial Court Blue Immortals, and then put armor on his whole body to prevent the attack of insects, he would not be able to resist these insect swarms at all, let alone a Huayin Lady in the insect swarm.

The two of them walked slowly, and finally came to the near of the wooden house.

Although Fang had just vaguely seen the scene inside the wooden house from afar, after getting closer, it still made Shi Lingtian gasp.

Beneath the charred floor, a large number of men's corpses were displayed in rows and rows, each as if they had been drained, leaving only skin and bone.

They all have a tank on their abdomen with wriggling larvae, soaked in an unknown fluid. I don't know if it's cadaveric fluid or ascites.

The body of Mrs. Huayin lay in the corner of the wooden house, her heart broken, apparently injuring her internal organs. There was a large amount of corpses around the wound, and some white juice.

I saw that her eyes were wide open, her head was tilted back, and her death was extremely ugly.

"Brother Shi, can you see the clues from the traces of the fight at the scene? For example, the murderer's moves and sects. Zhao Rui said behind Shi Lingtian.

Shi Lingtian smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhao, looking at the appearance of the surrounding burning, may there be traces?" ”

He said this on his lips, but in his heart he secretly praised Chen Ran for being smart, and directly wiped out all traces with a fire. Of course, there were still some clues left, but Shi Lingtian chose to ignore them.

Zhao Rui heard Shi Ling Tian say this, and asked without giving up, "What about the wounds of the deceased?" ”

Shi Lingtian knew that he couldn't fool Zhao Rui on the autopsy, so he leaned forward to check it, and said, "Madame's wound is not a knife wound, but the murderer attached it to the palm edge with an extremely high internal force, and then killed him with a palm nearby. ”

"A close blow kills.... Could it be that the two of them are acquaintances and are very close to each other? Or this person's strength is at least two grades higher than that of the princess. Can you see what kind of exercises? Zhao Rui's eyes lit up immediately, and he seemed to have found hope.

Seeing Shi Lingtian shook his head, he said, "I can't see the yin and yang five elements attribute of the murderer's internal force, it seems to be hidden." Specifically, it has to be carefully inspected by the six doors. ”

"This murderer is really clever, and he can hide his methods." Zhao Rui said hesitantly.

Shi Lingtian felt that this Lord Zhao was like a joke, only saying some unnutritious, obviously wanting to shake off his hands and make himself fully responsible, so that he could get out. He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhao is an old criminal name for more than ten years, do you see anything?" ”

Zhao Rui immediately said: "The affairs on the rivers and lakes, where is there any high opinion, it is still up to Brother Shi to solve the case." ”

Shi Lingtian smiled slightly and stopped talking.

In this way, the clues to the murder scene are broken.

With such a colleague who was afraid of taking responsibility, Shi Lingtian suddenly felt that the task of helping Chen Ran cover up seemed to be a lot easier.

The two of them were unwilling to stay at the scene for long, and walked out of the corpse insect swarm together.

Since nothing could be seen at the scene, witnesses could only be sought. It's just that after the outbreak of the insect swarm, the maidservants around Mrs. Huayin fled one after another, and they fled extremely decisively.

After the death of Lady Gainhuayin, the secrets under the hut will definitely be exposed to the eyes of the government. These women are all accomplices of Mrs. Huayin's recuperation, and no one wants to stay where they are and wait for the government to come to their door.

Only an unsuspecting guard far away from the courtyard told that when they were checking Ma Ruquan, there was still a person named Qiao Feng sitting in the car, but it was dark at that time, and he was sitting in the car again, and no one could see his face clearly.

Zhao Rui immediately ordered: "Immediately rush to the Pegasus Dart Bureau, catch Ma Ruquan, and then track down this Qiao Feng." ”

A subordinate coughed lightly and said embarrassedly: "I just heard the report of the dock officer, Ma Ruquan died suddenly on the dock, and it was a sudden death, and all the people around did not see the murderer." And his wife and children are gone. ”

Zhao Rui was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then who is this Qiao Feng, does anyone know?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.

When Zhao Rui heard this, he glanced at Shi Lingtian, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Brother Shi, this murderer is not simple. It seems that we have met an opponent. ”

Shi Lingtian nodded, agreeing with Zhao Rui's statement.

The traces of the fight were destroyed by fire, and the wounds of the deceased could not see the murderer's methods; No relevant witnesses could be found at the scene; The only witness clue, Ma Ruquan, was also killed. This case is indeed very difficult to handle.

At the same time, he was also quite surprised in his heart, this Chen Ran did things a little leaky, it seemed that even if he didn't help him wipe his buttocks, it would be difficult to find him in this matter.

Compared with Chen Ran, the modus operandi of Deng Liu, the quick knife in Hanzhong Mansion, and Qin Bingluo, the three-talented knife, seem a little vulgar.

'If this kind of person can serve the imperial court, my Daxin Dynasty Zhongxing is just around the corner!' Shi Lingtian thought secretly.

He wanted to make friends with this Chen Ran more and more.

saw that Zhao Rui was silent for a while, and said; "I'm afraid today's things are difficult to be good, if you are not careful, you and I will not be able to explain to the court. In a while, let's work together to make a concert, let's play it together. ”

Shi Lingtian shook his head and said, "It's not one, it's two." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Rui showed a puzzled look on his face and motioned for him to understand.

Shi Lingtian smiled and said, "Why should adults pretend to be confused? The princess of the south of this town has raised the Gu and used the people as nourishment, coupled with the salt and iron trade with Mobei over the years, it has long been a great crime. We also have to jointly play this point and explain it to the emperor. ”

"This... This..."Zhao Rui looked embarrassed and said, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the case of the death of the concubine..."

Shi Lingtian said eloquently: "Why doesn't it matter? The murderer and the princess of Zhennan must have a big enmity, maybe it is because of these cases committed by the princess. Today's events are just a backlash after she has committed a lot of crimes. If this matter is not reported, it will be difficult for us to investigate along this line, and we will be constrained in handling cases in the future, and when the time comes, the murderer will not be found, and the two of us will still be unlucky. ”

After he said this, he paused, and then said: "Brother Zhao, if the matter of raising Gu and raising hemorrhages is not played, then I can only ask for my resignation and pray for the remains." ”

Zhao Rui was silent for a long time, and finally sighed; "Okay, just according to what Brother Shi said, the two books will be played jointly."

Shi Lingtian was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, if he could really file these two cases together. He will be able to completely seal down Longquan Villa by investigating the case, and when the time comes, those gangs and businessmen who are in the same line as the villa, one will be counted as one, and all of them will be eradicated.

Maybe you can return Luoyang City to a clear day.

It's just that I have to ask that Chen Ran to help.

Is there anything that can attract Chen Ran and let him contribute together? Shi Lingtian thought silently.
