Chapter 479: An episode that shouldn't have been
Another person was triumphant: "You don't understand this, do you? I heard that murderers often have to come back to the scene to see how others react." β
They couldn't say a few words, and suddenly there was a shout of "ah-" from inside the high wall!
The voice was so sharp and miserable that anyone could guess that the mother-in-law was horribly tortured inside. The worst thing is that there was only one scream from beginning to end, and the house returned to calm.
While this calm is creepy, it also inspires infinite reverie, and the crowd of onlookers outside is silent.
......
The houses are built generously and beautifully, and the bricks and stones used are of good quality. The man in black took out the soldier's long knife and pierced the crack in the wall, but the resistance was very great, and he couldn't open a crack after two or three strokes.
Even in the construction of the house, there is no cutting corners.
"How many people live here?"
Someone on the side immediately replied: "It's a family of three." β
The man in black muttered, "The house does not fall ashes, and there is still residual heat in the hearth." It looks like the family just left. β
He walked around quickly, and found that it was full of homely atmosphere, many things but in good order, and it was obvious that the mistress of this house was graceful and diligent. Here are women's and children's clothes, andβ
His eyes narrowed suddenly.
There are still men's clothes hanging in the yard, the material is good but a little old. The point is that judging from the clothes, the man of this house is tall.
From the outside, this family is unremarkable, but when you walk in, you find that the yard is really not small. As soon as the man in black had finished walking around with his hands in his hands, his subordinates left the dying peasant woman to report:
When the eldest lady of the Liao family moved to the east side of the paddock, she only brought two or three children with her, and this was one of the rough mothers-in-law, whose ancestors had worked in the Liao family for three generations, and were very loyal to her. β
"After living there for less than two months, the eldest lady of the Liao family moved out, and all the slaves and maids, including this mother-in-law, did not know where she went. The subordinate paused, "Three years later, this mother-in-law was inadvertently sent to Hexiang Town to do business, and found that the eldest lady of the Liao family actually lived here, with an extra man and an extra child by her side!"
"When you have children and men, you look like a family. Lord Park frowned, "But in this way, the mother-in-law saw that she was carrying a child by her side, and it was eight years ago...... Hmm, maybe nine years ago?"
"Yes!" the subordinate said respectfully, "The eldest lady of the Liao family also saw her mother-in-law, and the two kept in touch after that. After the paddock was searched, the woman came over quietly, planning to report the news, but she knew that something happened here, someone died, and the eldest lady of the Liao family was nowhere to be found. β
Master Park nodded: "Okay, let's go out." "Time is of the essence.
......
The door opened, and the noble man walked out in a huddle. The guards began to clear away irrelevant passers-by: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." The official is going to handle the case!"
The three corpses were still on the ground, in a fallen position.
Master Park squatted down to check them one by one, flipped them a few times and said, "I can't see the cultivation, but the knife technique is ruthless." "Of the three deceased, two were killed with a single knife, and the remaining one had only two scars on his body. "It will take this man ten breaths at most to kill them. β
He stood up and wiped his hands with a soft towel: "What are they doing here?"
"The house on the north side suddenly went out of the water, and the brothers rushed there to check, but the innkeeper came to report that there was a woman as beautiful as a flower, and a boy of twelve or thirteen years old was staying there, and the appearance was similar to that of a wanted person. β
The man in black frowned: "Only one woman, one child?"
"Yes. The innkeeper was also brought over, and quickly nodded his head.
"No men?"
"Ah, no...... At least not at check-in. β
The man in black thought for a moment, "How tall is that woman?"
"Huh?" the innkeeper thought for a moment, and stretched out his hand to measure the tip of his ear, "It's about this tall, slender body, very beautiful." β
"It's not as big as a man. The man in black pointed to the fatal wound in the deceased's heart, "Look at the wide edge of this knife, the blade must be long and heavy, and few women will use such a long scimitar." β
The weapons used by women are generally short, thin, and light, which is determined by their own conditions, and the weapons used to kill these people are heavy and wider, and from the point of view of their power, they are more like those of men.
A henchman on the side came up and said, "Master Park, if you are the one, there may be guards around you." β
The man in black snorted: "What other characteristics do these two have?"
"It's all normal dress. "The innkeeper has a good memory," and asked for two upper rooms, about five zhang away from the back door. By the way, the boy was carrying a bookcase behind him. β
"That's the location, it's easy to escape. The man in black asked his men, "Did you find anything by searching the room where they lived?"
"There are only specks of dirt on the ground, which must have been brought in by the soles of the shoes. "Other than that, the whole house is very clean, not even a single hair, as if no one has ever moved in." β
The other party's anti-detection ability is not weak.
Looking at the fatal wounds of the three corpses, Lord Park groaned.
At present, there are two suspects, one is a woman and a teenager living in a hotel, and the other is a family of three of the eldest lady of the Liao family.
Obviously, the two should not be confused, but which one is the murderer of the guards? What is the connection between them, otherwise why did Miss Liao and the two guests in the inn disappear at the same time?
Thinking of this, Master Park smashed his fist on the ground and said hatefully: "Damn, Miss Liao left ahead of time because she was alarmed!"
He's a smart guy and he figured out the cause and effect of this place without spending much brainpower.
The eldest lady of the Liao family has been living in seclusion here for some years, and she has been living a peaceful life. However, the news of the Liao family's rebellion must have reached Hexiang Town, and she has become a frightened bird, and she wants to escape at any time; this time the officers and soldiers chased the two suspects in the inn, but it alarmed the eldest lady of the Liao family on the other side of the door, and made her make the decision to withdraw in advance!
If it weren't for this episode, he would have surrounded the family unknowingly and caught turtles in the urn!
Master Park paced back and forth a few steps, and decided to prioritize the focus of the pursuit on Miss Liao's family.
"We also lost two more people with similar causes of death. "The last man blew the pigeon whistle before he died. β
Master Park raised his head: "Which direction?"
"Southwest. Someone has been sent to track it down. β
Master Park nodded: "Go and ask the neighbors, and then find the local governor." "He needs more information, especially the men in this house.
There were three corpses lying on the ground, still guards, and the nearby residents had long been watching the excitement and pointing. It was not difficult for Park's subordinates to gather information.
After a short time, the news came together.
