Chapter 104: The Central of Luyang County
The clerk walked twice before bringing over the entire case.
Together, it's almost two feet thick.
Chen Chaoyan looked at it casually, and the confessions of Zhao Niangzi, the Wang family, Song Yanzhong, Shen Jimin, and those merchants were all here.
Wang Da's case file is at the top.
What is written on the case file is: Zhou Zhongcai's murder case.
Chen Chaoyan didn't think much about it and took it.
Wang Da's confession was very bland.
To sum up, he knew that privately mining iron ore and making weapons privately was a major crime of the Jiu clan, but he couldn't resist the temptation of wealth and power, so he went astray with a fluke mentality.
In the following years, with the continuous wealth and power and unharmed, his courage became bigger and bigger, and he gradually came to today's situation.
The confessions of the merchants in control of Luyang County and the confessions of the merchants are basically the same. The process of pulling Song Yanzhong, Shen Jimin and other county guards into the water is basically the same as the confessions of these people. Chen Chaoyan roughly swept through it, and after explaining the confusion in the confessions of several merchants and Song Yanzhong and others, he turned his attention to the confession of killing Wang Fanniang, Zhou Zhongcai and others.
Judging from the confession, Wang Fanniang's death was indeed an accident as Zhao Niangzi said.
The only difference was that Wang Da didn't know what corpse spasm was at that time. thought that Wang Fanniang's corpse became stiff because she couldn't look at it, and in a panic, she and Mrs. Wang designed such a scene of falling corpses on a rockery. Later, after finding out that it was a corpse spasm, in order to verify this statement, he secretly killed nearly 30 beggars.
It was also the death of these nearly thirty beggars that allowed him to gradually master the killer trick of striking the root of the ear to vibrate the medulla oblongata, and then pierce the heart at the moment of bulbar bleeding to achieve the purpose of corpse spasm.
After that, he used this killing move to kill thirteen more people one after another.
Xu Changwen, who died six years ago, Yuan Qianli, who died five years ago, Yuan Qianli, who came to Luyang County three months after Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi came to Luyang County, and Zhou Zhongcai, who died two and a half months ago, are just four of them.
Judging from the autopsy results of the previous two days, after Xu Changwen and before Wei Zhuang, he should have killed two or three people, before Yuan Qianli, he had killed almost two or three people, and before Zhou Zhongcai, there should be more.
The basis for this conclusion is that Wei Zhuang's bones are decreasing more than the clues left by Xu Changwen's bones, which is the result of his meticulous killing moves. In the same way, Yuan Qianli's bones were compared to Wei Zhuang's bones, and the clues were reduced again. By the time Zhou Zhongcai arrived, if there were only white bones left, then there would almost be no clues.
Her conclusion was confirmed by Wang Da's confession.
Although Wang Da mastered the killing trick of faking corpse spasms on the beggar's body, he made a mistake that almost killed him.
The beggars knew his identity, and even if they were faced with being killed, they did not dare to resist too much. Xu Changwen is different, when facing the threat of death, he has learned kung fu with fists and feet, and he is fierce and ruthless. Thanks to Wang Dongyang's timely appearance, Wang Da and Zhao Niangzi were spared.
This encounter made Wang Da realize that his killing moves were not yet mature, so he used the two merchants who disobeyed him to practice again. Even so, when he killed Wei Zhuang, it still took him a lot of effort. After killing people, looking at the messy scene, he felt that he still couldn't do it, so he practiced his hand twice again...... In this way, he perfected his killing moves by constantly killing people, and finally left no trace when he killed Zhou Zhongcai.
If he hadn't met Chen Chaoyan, his shot this time would have been perfect.
As for the matter of placing a spearhead to suppress the soul in the burial place of Wang Fanniang, Feng Zhenzhong, Xu Changwen and others, it was purely a bad thing, resulting in sleepless nights, so I wanted to use this to kill them all.
"The case file only wrote that he couldn't resist the temptation and went astray." After reading the confession of the murder, Chen Chaoyan looked back at the case file again, then raised his head and asked, "But private mining of iron ore must be a secret matter, how did he know, didn't the prince ask?" ”
"Qi Wu lured him with twenty pieces of money." Xie Xuan said indifferently.
"Qi Wu? The one who went home to save his relatives and joined the military Qiwu? Chen Chaoyan opened the case again.
Xie Xuan said 'um' and reminded her: "There is no record in the case file. ”
No wonder she didn't see it just now. Closing the case file, Chen Chaoyan glanced at the heavy building, "Wang Da didn't say, how did Qi Wu get involved?" ”
Xie Xuan followed her gaze, and also glanced at a few heavy buildings, and casually said, "I have sent someone to arrest him", and after solving her confusion, he continued: "Qi Wu is a pivotal person in Luyang County who listens to orders, transmits orders, reports things, and regularly summarizes. How he got involved, Wang Da also knows very little. ”
Whether it is the control of those merchants, or the pulling of Song Yanzhong, Shen Jimin and others, or the eradication of Xu Changwen, Wei Zhuang, etc., it is not difficult to see that Wang Da is a scheming, skillful, and ruthless person. Qi Wu can win him over for his own use, and he is obviously not a simple person. Chen Chaoyan kindly reminded, "Moreover, Qi Wu seems to have returned to the province a few days before the prince came to Luyang County, but almost three months have passed, but he has not returned...... Most likely, his so-called provincial relatives are just an excuse. ”
"It's not easy to catch him." Xie Xuan clasped his hand and tapped on the chaise longue and said calmly.
Chen Chaoyan raised his eyebrows, "Since it's not easy, what does the prince plan to do next?" ”
Xie Xuan said calmly: "Don't do anything, wait." ”
"Do nothing?" Chen Chaoyan laughed twice, turned his head to look at the nearly two-foot case file, and teased: "The prince was cautious for a while in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake. At present, almost everyone in the county guard mansion is imprisoned in the north prison, and I am afraid that I can't hide it if I want to, is the prince planning to break the jar? ”
"Why do you want to hide it?" Xie Xuan looked at her, smiling rather than smiling.
Chen Chaoyan questioned: "The prince has already found out the spies in the official mine?" ”
Xie Xuan said briskly: "No." ”
Chen Chaoyan raised his eyebrows, "Since there is none, the prince is not afraid of startling the snake?" ”
Xie Xuan looked at her fixedly, and then joked: "Why do you startle the snake?" ”
Chen Chaoyan glanced at those case files.
Xie Xuan chuckled, "Miss Chen, do you still remember, what was recorded in the first account book that Mrs. Zhou handed over to you?" ”
Chen Chaoyan understood his plan in an instant. He planned to take advantage of the fact that the people of the county guard mansion wantonly looted the people's property and then sold it to the silver hook cabinet shop to obtain profits, so as to cover up his true purpose. The method is good, it's just: "The prince doesn't plan to go to Jinyi County?" ”
The iron ore mined privately in Qingxi County was transported to the official mine in Jinyi County.
Since the purpose of his visit to Luyang County was to secretly investigate the matter, it was impossible not to go to Jinyi County.
If you go to Jinyi County, then there is no such thing as concealing the true purpose.
