"The lower official knows about this."

When Wei Xiuyi heard this, he bent down and replied: "Master Huidi: On the fifth day of the first month of last year, they were suspected of abusing and killing a nine-year-old girl.

The girl was the youngest daughter of the civilian Luo Huai family, named Luo Bing. Since then, Luo Bing's mother has been overwhelmed, ran away from home, and her whereabouts are still unknown.

Luo Huai was sick and paralyzed in bed. Food, clothing, housing and transportation must be taken care of by his eldest son, Luo Feng. Luo Feng is currently 12 years old.

In August last year, after the first massacre, Xia Guan thought that the murderer might be the Luo family, after all, they had a major motive for committing the crime. Xia Guan has already gone to investigate carefully.

It has been confirmed that Luo Huai is indeed unable to get up.

The entry and exit records at the gate of the state city also stated: his wife left the state city half a month after Luo Bing's accident and never returned.

And Luo Feng was only eleven years old when he was last year, thin and small. No suspected murder weapon was found in his home. Therefore, the suspicion that they killed people was ruled out. ”

Di Ying listened, and after thinking for a few breaths, he still said: "Then you lead the way, and take the official to Luo's house to have a look." By the way, can you be sure: those boys, this is the only evil thing related to violence? ”

"Yes, the lower senses can be sure. After Luo Bing's accident, Luo Huai came to report the case. The lower officials went to check on the boys. Later, because they did have witnesses to prove it, they were not suspicious during the time period of the crime, and there was no evidence to prove that Luo Bing's incident was done by them, so they were let go. ”

"You still have doubts about them, don't you?" Di Ying asked.

Wei Xiuyi's head drooped a little lower.

After a light "um", he explained: "Because Xia Guan found the jade pendant of one of them in the side alley at the other end of Binyong Street where Luo Bing's crime occurred. But when the man was asked, he said that his jade pendant had been lost for a few days.

When the lower official asked the maid in his courtyard again, he said that when he went out in the morning, the jade pendant still fell on his waist.

After that, the man changed his story, saying that after riding out of the house, he didn't know when the jade pendant had fallen.

In short, there is only that jade pendant, and it cannot be proved that it is one of the real murderers. The lower officials had no choice but to give up.

Moreover, the witnesses that the nine of them found were all stewards, thugs, and a few gamblers in a gambling house.

Although the testimony of these people can actually be invalidated, what the nine people said was that they gambled money in the gambling house within the time of the crime.

Therefore, their testimony had to be adopted by the lower officials. It's just that I still can't dispel the doubts in my heart. There was an arrangement for someone to keep an eye on those nine people for three months.

After not finding any problems, the men were summoned. ”

"In other words, in the three months that you stared at, none of the nine people had the slightest emotional instability, panic, anxiety, nightmares, etc.?" Di Ying asked again.

"Yes."

Wei Xiuyi replied. The shoulders are three points more broken. "Since beating their boss, the eldest of the nine, 14-year-old Hu Xinrong, and the whole family were killed, Xia Guan not only suspected the Luo family, but also arranged for someone to re-target the remaining eight families.

But it didn't stop the murderer. There were eight left, one every month, and by this month, all the nine had died. ”

"No, there should be more than nine people." Di Ying's words were amazing.

Wei Xiuyi was so shocked that he finally moved and raised his head.

I listened to Master Di: "I went to the place where the Ran family committed the crime this morning, and conducted a preliminary examination of the corpse of the deceased of the Ran family.

It was found that the boy's buttocks in the Ran family had a tattoo pattern that looked like a woman's ear.

At the autopsy, the officer found another tattoo on the buttocks of the boy who died last month, with a tattoo on the woman's forehead with a left eye.

Last December, the snow in Xingzhou was heavier, and those people were buried shallowly.

Thus, the body of the boy who had been cut off in the family that died in December was not yet completely decomposed. On his right buttocks, it can also be vaguely distinguished, and there was a tattoo pattern in the past.

As for the previous ones, it is impossible to find out.

However, the official believes that if the tattoo patterns on the buttocks of the nine people are pieced together, it should be exactly the appearance of a woman.

It's not Luo Bing's, nor is it a new pattern. However, the difference should be relatively close. The time when the tattoo was put on should be before Luo Bing's death.

At first glance, the woman in the pattern was at least twenty years old.

And in the same way, according to the known pattern of three people, the official tried to test: there should be ten people tattooed before it will be complete.

Lord Wei, why did you ignore this? You've surveyed them, how come you know only nine people? They often go in and out together, play together, why don't you find out? ”

Wei Xiuyi was asked, and instantly lowered his head again.

Some replied uncertainly: "That one, in fact, the lower official knows." But he was too young. He is only nine years old. Xia Guan felt that he might just be there when the incident happened. So he was excluded. ”

These words made Di Ying angry.

He shook his hands, frowned on his back, and said: "In cracking the case, the most taboo thing is the person who is responsible for handling the case, self-righteous, self-assertive, and has too many emotions and ideas!"

You know that there are ten people, but because they are small, you automatically and consciously ignore them. You don't think he can do anything, but have you ever thought about why nine-year-old Luo Bing would easily leave home and go to the side alley at the end of the house?! ”

Wei Xiuyi raised his head abruptly and stammered, "Great, Lord Di, your, what do you mean to say, what do you mean, what you say......"

"This official is a fart!"

Di Ying couldn't help but expose his foul language, interrupting him: "Our duty is to restore the truth of the matter, not that you want me to guess, not that I guess you answer!" ”

After saying that, he summoned the dark clouds, mounted his horse and left.

But it didn't let the clouds fly.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Wei Xiuyi chased after him on a horse.

There was still some redness on his dark complexion, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes. The head lifted a little.

At this point, the spirit of the whole person seems to have changed a lot.

"Master Di, the lower official will lead the way, let's go to the last boy's house. His name is ......"

After the second half of the horse body with Master Di, Wei Xiuyi wanted to try to make up for his mistakes.

But it was interrupted by Master Di.

"There's still some time before that man dies, so let's put him on hold for now. You lead the way and find the people who tattooed the men. ”

Wei Xiuyi: "......"

He twisted his arm, then led the way.

The shop that makes a living from other people's tattoos is just one in the entire Xingzhou City.

The store is small and dark.

The interior is even more dimly lit, and there are curtains everywhere, and all kinds of magnified ...... are pasted everywhere Pattern.

There are all kinds of them, and they are basically hideous and ferocious.

It gives people a chilling feeling.
