Passion crime and premeditated murder, it's hard to say which of the two is easier to solve.

Ye Caitang groaned: "Passion is a crime, although the murderer decided to kill temporarily, he may have left more clues because of lack of preparation and haste. But again, this target may be randomly selected, temporarily selected, and has nothing to do with his identity, which will make it more difficult for us to determine the identity of the victim and find the motive for the killing. ”

Not to mention a corpse whose facial features had been deliberately erased.

In the past, He Qiuning died, and he could still draw a portrait and stick it at the city gate for people to identify, but now this charred corpse can't be identified even by people who know it.

I touched my body up and down, and the sleeves in my arms were clean, and there was nothing left that could provide clues to my identity.

Xia Yue looked around: "Since he is here, he is always a person from this neighborhood, and he will not be moved from other places all the way." Lao Zhang, you take someone to check around to see if anyone is missing in the past few days. ”

Lao Zhang was the eldest of these fast catchers, and he was very respectful to Xia Yue, and he went immediately after receiving the order.

Wang Tong didn't need to command, and said directly: "My lord, I'll arrange for Ding Lang to be wanted." Since he is not dead, unless he hides in the deep mountains and old forests and does not come out, otherwise, where can he run? ”

In two days, you can't run far in either direction. In this era, the traffic is inconvenient, but the inconvenience has the advantage of inconvenience, the inconvenience you chase, and the inconvenience of his run.

The charred corpse was transported back to the six doors, and soon, under the description of the gambling house owner, the gambling house thug and Yuan Weimao, the master drew a portrait.

Ye Caitang looked at the portrait, his expression was very complicated, it is not easy to catch people based on this kind of portrait in this era.

Xia Yue said: "Hunt down the suspect Ding Lang, provide clues, and determine that the clues are useful, and the bounty will be five to ten taels." If someone is caught, he will be sent to the yamen and the reward will be thirty taels. ”

Catching Kuaiben was already about to go out with the portrait, and Ye Caitang suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute."

Xia Yue looked back at him.

"I have an idea." Ye Caitang said: "If I provide clues, can I take this bounty?" ”

These words silenced everyone, Xia Yue paused before saying: "You are also a person from the Six Doors, and it is your business to solve the case, why don't you say it if you don't give money?" ”

This is really a bit despicable.

"Not really." Ye Caitang was a little embarrassed to pull her hair, she didn't open her mouth because of the bounty, but because the opening time was too coincidental, it was indeed easy to misunderstand.

"But you also have to understand that a person who owes a huge debt and may go to sleep in a bridge cave at any time is always more sensitive to bounties."

If this is Wang Tong or Liu Sha, Xia Yue may throw people out. But thinking about Ye Caitang's pitiful appearance of eating meat buns today, he was a little unbearable.

Xia Yue sighed: "Say it, although I won't give you a bounty, but if the case is solved, I will naturally be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and I won't lose you." ”

Ye Caitang said: "I thought about it, Ding Lang's trick golden cicada came out of his shell, although he may not know that we would see through it so quickly, but he is a thief and will definitely not go home, and he will avoid the direction of going home if he escapes." ”

He's a dead man now, how can he get home? Even if you go back, you have to wait for a year and a half, and after this thing fades, you will secretly go back.

Ye Caitang said: "Although I don't know why he ran away, there must be more than He Ningqiu's fifty taels of silver." ”

"A person who has money on him, can't go home, has a gambling addiction, and is accustomed to eating and drinking well, even if he is on the way to escape, he will not treat himself badly."

Ye Caitang sketched a complete character image in just a few words, although she has not seen Ding Lang, but she has seen many such people, even if there is a generation gap of hundreds of thousands of years, human nature will not change.

The psychology of a gambler, the psychology of a murderer, the psychology of a fugitive, is always the same.

Xia Yue frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "You mean, Ding Lang fled all the way and will live in the casino and Qinglou?" ”

"The focus is on the casino." Ye Caitang said: "A place like a casino, with three religions and nine streams, is full of smoke and miasma, which can not only inquire about news, but also conceal whereabouts, and can also solve short-term food and accommodation, compared to living in a ravine or inn all the way, it is both safe and comfortable." ”

In this era, the range of human activity was still small, and most of the mountains and forests were real mountain forests, and there were wild beasts that could eat people. Unless you are martial arts, otherwise, walking in the mountains and forests is the fodder for activities.

After listening carefully to Ye Caitang's words, Xia Yue suddenly smiled.

"Okay, I didn't eat my meat buns in vain."

Ye Caitang's face was black, and he always felt that Xia Yue's words sounded weird, as if she was bought by those two meat buns to work.

Ye Caitang sighed.

It's really a poor person with short ambitions, and he has to be three points shorter if he is reasonable.

However, Ye Caitang's dissatisfaction disappeared during lunch, and Xia Yue did what he said, not only did not let him go to the room to eat, but also asked her to order.

"You can order home-cooked food casually, the chef of the six doors is not bad, he can do it generally, and the craftsmanship is no worse than outside, especially Sichuan cuisine."

Xia Yue was simply an angel in Ye Caitang's eyes at this moment: "If it's complicated, to greet them in advance, they need to prepare in advance." ”

Wang Tong squeezed his eyebrows and poked Ye Caitang with his elbow.

"Don't worry, the adults in the small kitchen will give extra money every month, so you don't have to worry about eating six doors poorly."

Xia Yue smiled reservedly, he wanted his subordinates to work hard, he was never stingy, Ye Caitang was so straightforward about the bounty, it was because he didn't know him.

When it was time to eat, Liu Sha also came back, and of the four of them, Ye Caitang ordered three meats, two vegetables and one soup.

Braised pork ribs, boiled pork slices, stir-fried pork with Hangzhou pepper.

Oily greens, mapo tofu.

Another egg soup.

Meat and vegetarian matching, balanced nutrition.

But Ye Caitang has been eating meat since he sandwiched a green vegetable with the first chopsticks and a piece of tofu with the last chopsticks.

Didn't even make time to take a sip of soup.

Liu Sha couldn't help but joke: "Xiao Ye, I feel that your green vegetable tofu is specially called for us, you don't have a mouthful." ”

Ye Caitang happily finished eating the last rib and sighed happily.

"Brother Liu, you don't understand."

Then Ye Caitang mixed a bowl of rice with pork rib soup and finished it happily.

Xia Yue pinched the bridge of his nose vigorously, and then threw Ye Caitang a piece of silver.

"Go buy yourself two clothes in the afternoon, work at the six gates, and follow me later, don't feel like you're just finishing your meal."

Managing food, housing and installation fees, Ye Caitang happily accepted the order.

Before leaving, she also took away the black ribbon that strangled He Ningqiu, as well as the handkerchief, which rubbed Lin Ling's wound and stained it with a little black dye.
