Facing the scattered stretcher, the corpse resting on the side, and the sad and angry Tang Xixi, Shen Chaixing felt that Sima's approach was excessive, and he stepped forward and asked: "Lord Head Catcher, didn't we just do a thorough inspection of Tang Xixi? Why did you come here again? Besides her, you have no other person to suspect?"

Sima didn't listen to Shen Chaixing's words at this time, as if he was immersed in his own thoughts, and his eyes looked at Sha Junbao's corpse in a daze.

Shen Chaixing looked at Chu Jie, the other party nodded at him, Shen Chaixing understood what he meant, so he beckoned Ye Maolin to come up to help, and he considered carrying Sha Junbao's body off the boat.

A gust of river wind blew and lifted the white cloth covering Sha Junbao's body, revealing Sha Junbao's pale face and neck, and the wound on his neck was also clearly visible in the sunlight at this time.

Shen Chaixing stepped forward and was about to cover it with a white cloth, when suddenly, Sima Jiandong walked forward quickly, carefully observed the wound of the deceased, and said to himself: "Strange, why did the wound get longer?" At the same time, he pressed the wound around the wound with his hand and pinched it with his hand.

Sima Jiandong stood up slowly, with a strange light in his eyes, staring at Tang Xixi tightly and walking towards her.

At this time, Tang Xixi stopped sobbing, and when he saw Sima with a solemn face and his eyes locked on him, he couldn't help but be afraid, and his body trembled slightly.

Sima Jiandong opened his iron palm and grabbed Tang Xixi's wrist, and at the same time, an internal force came in, Tang Xixi couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but cry out in pain with "Ahhh

Shen Chaixing couldn't stand it, stepped forward to stop it, Sima Jiandong said coldly: "I can't find the stolen goods this time, I, Sima Jiandong, read the four words upside down!" After that, he ordered Chu Jie to take the body back to its original place, and he walked back to the cabin with Tang Xixi first. Tang regretted but did not resist.

Shen Chaixing, Linglong'er, Ye Maolin, and Chu Jie then came to Tang Xixi's original cabin. At this time, Tang regretted and was tied hand and foot by Sima.

Under the gaze of everyone, Sima Jiandong took out a short blade and gently picked open Sha Junbao's wound, probed into it with two fingers, and gently pinched out an object.

It was a waterproof skin made of thin skin. After Sima washed off the dirt on the outside with clean water, he took out the items inside—two 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and a small stack of rolled up paper, which should be the genealogy of the Ye family, as well as Shen Chaixing's jade pendant.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Sima took these items and said to Tang Xi: "If you weren't too greedy and stuffed that piece of jade pendant into it, it wouldn't have enlarged the wound, and it wouldn't make me suspicious." Now that this is the case, what else do you have to say?"

Tang Xixi cried: "I didn't know that these items were hidden in the corpse, my Sha family is rich and rival the country and still lacks silver? Besides, I love my husband more than myself, how can I do disrespectful things to his body? There must be someone who wants to evade the inspection and take it away afterwards, and there is still a long way to go back to Shu from here, what can't happen?"

What Tang Xixi said is very reasonable, at least Sima's iron just now grasped Tang Xixi's vein, and when he penetrated the internal strength, he did not find that Tang Xixi used internal force to resist, Tang Xixi may have no internal strength at all, how could he steal the items hidden by Shen Chaixing and Ye Maolin?

Sima Jiandong said coldly: "Now that everyone has obtained all the stolen goods, it will not help to forcibly deny it, now that Anqing has passed, I will get off the boat at the next stop and take you back to the Criminal Department, and when you get there, you will naturally explain clearly." ”

"Also," Sima said, turning around, "you know very well why I arrested you, and that bit of stolen goods is not worth tracking down all the way from Suzhou to here." As he spoke, he clicked on Tang Xixi's acupuncture point and blocked his mouth, and then walked out of the cabin, and Chu Jie found someone to guard the hatch, no matter what happened, he was not allowed to open the door.

Although the stolen goods were recovered, everyone's faces looked solemn, and Shen Chaixing and the others followed Sima Jiandong into Boss Chu's cabin with a full face.

As the boss of the "Fish Fish", Chu Jie's cabin is located on the fourth floor, luxurious, spacious and comfortable. After everyone entered, Chu Jie ordered people to guard the door, and no idlers were allowed to approach.

After everyone sat down, Chu Jie was the first to ask: "What is going on? Tie Zhu can't happen to be on our ship, right?" Also, although there are stolen goods now, there is no direct evidence to prove that Tang Xixi stole the goods, her current identity is different from the past, she is already the master of the Sha family, and the Sha family is not easy to provoke!" There was a sense of worry in her words.

Shen Chaixing was also puzzled: "What Tang Xixi said is also reasonable, as the head of the Sha family, who is rich and rivals, how can he steal that bit of silver, besides, it is even more unreasonable to steal the genealogy of the Ye family." The martial arts of the person who can steal things from me should be good, but I can't see that Tang Xixi has martial arts!"

Sima Jiandong took out a silver sealed wine jug from his arms, held it in his hand and played with it for a while, took a sip, and after being satisfied, he said slowly: "Things are far more complicated than you imagined. Tang Xixi not only stole those items, but also killed Sha Junbao with his own hands, in addition, there may be a bigger scheme. ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves. As soon as these words came out, everyone all showed disbelief, originally, everyone couldn't believe that Tang Xixi stole the goods, and they all thought that although the stolen goods were found in Sha Junbao, it was not necessarily Tang Xixi's doing, and now there are even more serious accusations, who can believe it? It seems that either Tang Xixi is crazy, or Sima is crazy!

The few people who had been questioning all closed their mouths now, and looked at Sima Jiandong with wide eyes, seeing how he would explain what he had just said.

"A few years ago, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there were a series of theft cases, and the stolen things were either priceless treasures or huge jewelry and silver tickets. At the scene of the crime, someone picked up the petals of orchids once or twice, but because the flowers and varieties were different, they were not used as clues. At the same time, on the full moon night of the fifteenth month of each month, bizarre murders occur, and the victims have a common characteristic, they are all middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, and their bodies are all brutally mutilated. The face is indistinguishable. ”

Because the case could not be solved for a long time, this matter alarmed the imperial court, and the Criminal Department instructed Tie Feng and Mo Huaiyuan to handle the two cases separately. After the two took over, they each investigated. For this reason, Tie Feng used the disciples of the Eagle Claw Sect to turn the entire Jiangnan upside down, and arrested a bunch of suspects, but he couldn't find the stolen goods. Mo Huaiyuan also made no progress in handling the case, but once in the waiting on the night of the full moon, Mo Huaiyuan led a group of squatting catchers to meet the suspect. Later, when I met Mo Huaiyuan and talked about this case, Mo Lao still had palpitations, and he didn't want to mention it more, only saying that this person's martial arts were incredible, and he couldn't judge it by common sense. After this incident, Mo Lao returned to his hometown for physical reasons. ”

"Alas, if Mo Lao could really return to his hometown and retire to the mountains and forests, it's a pity!" Sima Jiandong's sudden emotion was confusing, only Shen Chaixing knew the meaning, Mo Huaiyuan was later pulled by Jiang Yulin to arrest Shen Heng, but he died under Shen Heng's desperate ring.

"Three years ago, the murderers of these two cases died down at the same time as if they had agreed and stopped committing crimes. Until recently, the case happened again in Suzhou and Wuxi. Mo Lao is no longer there, Tie Feng is busy assisting Jinyiwei in tracking down Lanyue, and because these two cases are in Wuxi, Suzhou, they are very close, so the Criminal Department handed over these two cases to me. ”

"After I took over, I found that the two cases actually have something in common, which is slightly different from the past, it is the perpetrator who deliberately put the orchid as a token at the scene of the theft, and at the same time, I also found the corresponding orchid from the mouth of the person who was crushed, and the variety is the same. ”

"Obviously, these two cases may have been committed by the same criminal, such obvious clues, with the shrewdness of Mo Lao and Tie Feng, why didn't they be dealt with together?"

"So I went back to the Criminal Department and retrieved the original materials of the two cases three years ago, only to find that it was not so simple, at that time, two of the two cases were hundreds of miles apart but happened at the same time, so there was no joint investigation at that time. In other words, the case three years ago was at least the work of two people. And now the case may be the same person or group of people. ”

"So is there any connection between the case three years ago and the current case? I inquired about the post-mortem examination of the year, and because it was a broken body, no one went to check the mouth again, but because they wanted to identify the corpse, they used to find someone to draw out some portraits of missing persons, excluding the portraits of women and men of other ages, and specially put together the portraits of thirty or forty years old, and found an interesting phenomenon - these people look alike!"

So I asked someone to draw a portrait of the man who might have been dismembered recently, and it turned out to be very similar to the man who died three years ago. Based on this, I have generally concluded that at least one of the two batches of cases from around three years ago was committed by the same person. ”

"At the same time, I also found some details that I didn't pay attention to three years ago, when the owner mentioned that the family tree had been torn off a few pages, but it was not a valuable, Tie Feng didn't care, this is also an old man and I mentioned it. At the same time, I have investigated that in the past few years, there have also been cases of genealogies being lost in some remote places along the coast of Zhejiang, but no other property has been lost, and no one takes it seriously. ”

Three years ago, the same group, at least two people, committed the case of treasure theft and corpse fragmentation, but I don't feel that the treasure theft case is for myself, it seems to be done for a certain organization or gang or sect, similar to official affairs, and the corpse fragmentation seems to be a personal private matter. Three years later, the two cases were committed by the same person, both public and private. ”

Speaking of this, Sima, who had a serious expression, suddenly smiled and said, "Let me tell you a strange thing, do you know how I felt when I saw Sha Junbao for the first time? I seem to see those portraits of those broken corpses, he is too similar to those portraits!"

After listening for a long time, everyone finally heard the clue, and Linglong'er said everyone's thoughts: "Now do you think Tang Xixi is the orchid thief? Do you have any other evidence besides those stolen goods?"

Ye Maolin also asked, "What's the use of those genealogies she wants?"

Shen Chaixing asked the most critical question: "You said that Tang Xixi killed Sha Junbao that night, but what we saw was that the gate was locked from the inside at that time, and Tang Xixi's hands and feet were tied, could she tie her hands after killing someone, or let the dead get up and tie her hands?"

Hearing him say this, Linglong'er couldn't help but shudder.
