Chapter 427: The Murderer's Mind (1st Update)
The scroll that Xu Jing had read in the carriage earlier was the details of the previous cases brought by Jin Wuwei along with the handwritten letter from the saint, and because Princess Ling's case had only happened for a few days, there was no detailed information to pass on to her for the time being.
Therefore, Zhang Tingshi said this, which was exactly what Xu Jing wanted, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'm tired of Zhang Tingshi." ”
Zhang Tingshi immediately made a gesture of invitation, and asked one of the officials he brought over to lead the way in front, and said as he walked: "King Ling and Concubine Ling arrived in Xinzhou two days ago, that is, on the evening of April 1, and they were staying in the best inn in the vicinity, the Full Moon Building. ”
Xu Jing's eyes flashed slightly, and said, "They came all the way and stayed in the best inns?" ”
Zhang Tingshi was slightly stunned, although he didn't understand why Xu Jing suddenly asked like this, he still said: "That's natural, it's King Ling after all, no matter what...... What happened, he was a member of the royal family after all, General Han and they didn't dare to slack off, unless the conditions didn't allow, they would find the best local inn for them to live in. ”
Han General Han Yi is the general sent by the Holy Lord to take King Ling's mother and son back to Xijing.
Zhang Tingshi continued: "Because there were several servants around King Ling and them who had died mysteriously before, General Han did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and sent someone to inform me the night before arriving in Xinzhou, so that I could wrap up the Full Moon Tower, and on the same day, strict guards were arranged inside and outside the Full Moon Tower.
But who would have expected that in such a situation, something would still happen......"
Xu Jing's eyes were slightly dark.
This is completely different from the previous two cases.
Because King Ling's identity is sensitive now, General Han didn't want to reveal their identities at first, and kept a low profile as much as possible along the way, let alone notify local officials in advance.
After the sudden death of the two personal servants beside King Ling, they immediately strengthened their guards, but they did not cover the entire inn, but only wrapped up the floor where King Ling, Princess Ling, and Princess Ling lived, and strengthened the guards around the inn.
In such a situation, there were still people in their team who died, and General Han was completely panicked, just at this time, they were almost in the capital, and General Han didn't care about the danger of exposing his whereabouts, and directly used the highest-level guards Ling Wang and his party.
In this case, there are still people who die, and it is Princess Ling who dies......
Xu Jing said suddenly: "King Ling, Princess Ling and Princess Ling must be the focus of everyone's protection, to be honest, if the murderer had already planned to kill Princess Ling, but only did it in the end, I think it's a little weird." ”
Zhang Tingshi is also a smart person, and immediately understood what Xu Jing meant, and said: "That's right, when no one died at the beginning, the guards around them must have the most loopholes, it stands to reason that it would be much easier for the murderer to choose to kill Princess Ling at that time, but after he killed so many people, General Han's vigilance almost reached the peak to kill Princess Ling at this time, according to common sense, this should not be."
What do think? ”
Zhang Jianshi looked at the age of more than thirty, with a mustache on his mouth, Sichuan eyebrows and Chinese face, and he was very bluffing when he had a calm face.
Xu Jing didn't seem to feel anything, and spoke to him calmly, "Unless, for the murderer, the few people who died in front of him are the ones he is more anxious to kill, after all, if Princess Ling dies at the beginning, General Han's vigilance will be pulled to the highest level on the same day, and it will be even more difficult for him to kill others."
And because the first deaths were all servants, although General Han and they would be jealous, they would not raise the guard level to the highest level at the beginning, let alone affect their next actions. ”
Zhang Tingshi nodded while listening, and had a new idea about this in his heart.
Although he had already heard of the name of the, because the other party was a woman, he was a little worried after all, just afraid that there would be someone who would be in vain and even drag him back.
Now it seems that this does have some ability!
Xu Jing paused, and suddenly said in a slightly deep voice: "This also shows that no matter what the murderer's purpose is, all his actions are about to be closed, and it is likely that Princess Ling is the last person he wants to kill, or the person he wants to kill next will only be above Princess Ling." ”
Princess Ling's death was a watershed moment, and after that, no matter who he wanted to kill, it would be extremely difficult.
Zhang Tingshi's heart trembled slightly, isn't it a person with a higher level than Princess Ling...... King Ling and Princess Ling?!
These two people, no matter which one dies, he can't afford the consequences!
It didn't seem to see Zhang Tingshi's face as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, Xu Jing continued: "However, if I guessed correctly, the murderer killed Princess Ling under heavy guards this time, no matter how beautiful he did, he would definitely show a little fox tail."
In Zhang Tingshi's heart, he should already be the object of suspicion. ”
In the previous two cases, General Han and they were unable to lock down the scope of suspects at all.
The two maids who died in the first case lived in the lower room on the first floor of the inn at that time, while King Ling, Princess Ling and Concubine Ling lived on the third floor of the inn, and the third floor was the upper room, and General Han's guards were mainly arranged on the third floor, so no one would pay attention to these servants living on the first floor.
Therefore, when it was discovered that the two maidservants had been killed, no one knew who had entered their room that night.
When the second case occurred, General Han kept an eye on it and left guards near the lower room where the servants lived.
Unexpectedly, this time, the first deceased to be found did not die in the room, but near the place where the water was drawn.
General Han was furious at that time, and immediately called the guards next to them except King Ling, and asked them to search the entire inn, and it was also at that time that King Ling's personal servant who was alone in the room was killed, and no one knew who had entered his room at that time.
However, Princess Ling, who died this time, was different from these people, in this case, even if she left the room, there would definitely be guards around her.
In other words, who approached Princess Ling and who entered Princess Ling's room that day, as long as you ask the guards around Princess Ling, you can know it clearly.
Zhang Tingshi couldn't help but sigh secretly, nodded and said: "Xu Niangzi is right, Princess Ling was found dead on the morning of April 2, and on April 1, it was late when they arrived at the inn.
Therefore, the murderer could only be someone who had entered Princess Ling's room during that time.
And during that time, there were ...... people who entered Princess Ling's room Five. ”
