Just talking about the name Di Ao, everyone may only think it is familiar.

But if you want to mention the famous No. 1 catcher in Chenya County, then everyone will suddenly realize, and when they pat their heads, a smile will appear on their faces, and they will all be full of praise.

Naturally, it was because this young head catcher, who had only been in office for three years, was strong in martial arts and upright, what kind of hooligan and bandit, and a ruffian bully, even if he could rush to the southernmost town in the northernmost town of Chenya County, it would be called a jealous and hateful.

In these years, how can there be so many righteous people like Di Zhutou who are so conscientious in fighting crime?

Therefore, whether the people of Chenya County have been helped by him or not, they have only heard of his deeds, and they can't help but give a thumbs up when they hear the words "Di Zhutou", and they will not hesitate to praise themselves.

But there will be a time when manpower will run out.

How big is a county? Di Ao, who is so busy with all kinds of cases, is tired of running for his life.

No, there's been a big case lately.

Many people died in various towns in Chenya County.

More than 100,000 people can die every day in the world, but the fact that the dead people in Chenya County can be expressed separately naturally has its own special place.

For example, those people died unnatural deaths.

This case is really wrong, with his Di Ao alone and the group of wine bags and rice bags in the yamen, he can't handle it at all.

He also thought about transferring a few people from the county guard to help, but the old thing from the county guard was looking for fun all day long, and he flew birds and passed books many times, like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no movement at all.

Di Ao also went to find the county guard in person, but his position was too low, and even the title of "head catcher" was not a position, but a person with strong martial arts hired by the yamen, although he had rights, he didn't even have an official body.

So this No. 1 catcher in Morning Crescent County was stopped at the door, the reason was because he wasn't a fart, why did the county guard take care of you?

Di Ao was naturally furious, but what could he do? Rush in and find out that damn old bastard and beat him up, and then stop this bullshit headcatcher, and then wander the rivers and lakes, dashing?

Ten years of drinking ice, it is difficult to cool his blood.

He can't do without this layer of head-catching identity, no matter how much he doesn't enter the stream, it is also linked to the imperial court yamen, and it is naturally much more convenient to hoe and help the weak, but if he doesn't have this head-catching identity, he doesn't know how many enemies he will provoke, and how can he let those bad guys get a righteous trial? Without him as a person to suppress those heroes, wouldn't the people of Chenya County have to fall into dire straits?

This big case can't be ignored, which is why Di Ao wants to find his master friend Jiujiu to come to Yuan City.

He needs a great helper.

———————————————

Inside the Yoshijo.

The corpses were covered with white cloth and parked inside.

Listening to the white-haired old man who had guarded Yizhuang for fifty years, the last time he saw so many corpses parked in one go, it was when the Northern Qi and Southern Qi were still fighting and their lives were in ruins.

Di Ao stood in front of a corpse, put on gloves, and lifted the white cloth.

I saw that the corpse was completely a dry corpse that had been dehydrated, crumpled and unshaped.

He said to Jiujiu next to him: "Look at the corpses here, no, it should be said that there are four or five towns in Chenya County like this. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse's neck, which had five circular wounds, which looked like they had been clasped by fingers: "Almost all corpses have a similar wound on their bodies, and there is no blood left in their bodies. ”

"It's so weird, it's the first time I've encountered such a difficult case since I took office, and I can't imagine how the murderer could have committed such a high-intensity crime in such a short period of time with the same brutality. ”

"Since Liucheng, such corpses have been found one after another, and since when I have taken over this case, but it can be said that there has been no progress for several months, so a little bit of fragmentary clues can't advance the case at all. ”

Saying that, he was filled with righteous indignation, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "If you can transfer some people from the county guard, you will definitely be able to solve the case as soon as possible, and you will not delay so long in vain and die so many innocent people." ”

"If I find this murderer, I must guillotine him with my own hands!"

Luo Liangqiu looked at Di Ao, the number one catcher in Morning Create County, and thought to himself, he was really jealous and hateful, and then he looked down at the corpse, squinted his eyes, and asked: "Di Zhutou, although you have made no progress, but you also have some fragmentary clues?"

Although Di Ao had heard Jiujiu say that Luo Liangqiu was a young man's intelligence and wisdom, he still looked down on a little hairy child from the bottom of his heart, he held his arm at this time, glanced at him, and said, "Do you think my ability will not be as good as you?"

When Luo Liangqiu heard what he said, he sighed in his heart, rolled up his sleeves, crossed his waist and wanted to reason with him.

Jiujiu even his own head-hunting friend's temperament, and how poisonous Luo Liangqiu's mouth is, if these two guys are allowed to talk at this moment, it is estimated that they will have to pinch it after a while.

So the prescient Jiujiu, when Luo Liangqiu was about to say the first word, held him down, and said to Di Ao: "Hey, let's talk about it, I just happened to hear what was going on, and you didn't explain it in the letter." ”

Di Ao snorted, stopped looking at Luo Liangqiu, and led everyone to the outside of Yizhuang, breathing a sigh of relief, and talking eloquently.

Here's what it looks like:

About three months ago, the first deceased appeared on the Liucheng side.

According to the old man who found the body, there was a rare fog that night, and it was so hazy that he couldn't see anything clearly, and he was shouting while banging on the gong, and suddenly he hit a man and knocked him down.

The old man said that he thought he was some kind of drunk man, otherwise he didn't use any strength at all, why did he fall there lightly?

So he hurried to pick up the man, fearing that he would fall on his head and that something might happen to him.

It doesn't matter if you don't help it, if you help it, you almost scared the old man's life out.

It was a dried corpse!

So he ran to Yamen in the middle of the night to report the case, and the first person to take over the case at that time was not Di Ao, but a catcher in Liucheng, surnamed Zhang.

This head catcher took people to the scene of the crime, and first looked for the family of the deceased, and the family of the deceased cried silently and said that they didn't know when this person went out.

Then Zhang Zhutou looked for the neighbors nearby, and finally questioned the entire Liucheng people, but he was stunned that no eyewitness was found.

This head catcher felt cold all over his body, and this corpse was so weird, he wondered if this couldn't be a haunting, right?

He was also a conscientious man, so he went to the old man who was fighting again and interrogated him, after all, he was the only witness.

But the information of the three generations of the ancestors of this old man who beat the more was picked up, and it was clean, there was no suspicion, and there was no motive to kill, so Zhang Zhutou had no choice but to stop it.

Just when the second monk of Liucheng Yamen was puzzled, the first head catcher of Chenya County, Di Zhutou, came to Liucheng.

It turned out that Di Ao was in Qingsang City, and he also encountered the same case, he immediately understood that this criminal should not be underestimated, and under the investigation, it was the same as Zhang Zhutou, without the slightest progress, but he heard that there were such rumors in Liucheng at this time, so he rushed over non-stop, hoping to merge clues and see if there could be any new discoveries.

It turned out that the time of the crime on both sides was about the same!

What is this concept?

Although Qingsang City and Liucheng are not too far apart, they are also dozens of miles away, how could the murderer commit murder in two places in such a short period of time?

Could it be that there is more than one murderer?

But then he thought of the testimony of the older man, whose body stood there, knocked down by him.

Maybe the murderer had placed the body there in advance, after all, it was a remote alley, and Liucheng was a small city, and everyone who was blind in the dark at night didn't go out much, so it was unlikely to be discovered, and then he went to Qingsang City to kill the people?

With Di Ao's ability, he analyzed the case in a short period of time, he was not like Zhang Zhutou, desperately looking for witnesses, but digging deep into whether the deceased had any enemies before he died, and whether he had formed a relationship with anyone.

But according to the investigation, it was found that the deceased was kind to others on weekdays, not to mention the enemy, even if he scolded him behind his back.

This seems to be at an impasse again.

However, at this point, Di Ao can be regarded as officially taking over the case, but due to insufficient clues, it can only be put on hold for the time being.

But at this moment, Quyu Town, which is at least 100 miles away from this Liucheng, sent a letter to Di Zhutou, saying that there was a big case over there and he wanted to ask him to help.

When Di Ao saw the letter, he felt his heart sink and felt that something was wrong, so he set off immediately, and when he left, he did not forget to ask Zhang Zhutou to pay attention to the latest situation and send it to him by letter.

When he arrived at Qu Yu Town, the bad premonition in Di Ao's heart really came true, and there were five corpses lying in Yizhuang, all of which were the same dried corpses as before.

However, the thing that shocked Di Ao came, when he asked the time of the crime, it was still the same as the previous case!

Why is that?

It can be said that Qingsang City and Liucheng are close to each other, but this Quyu Town is hundreds of miles away, even if it is a fast horse, it is impossible to commit a crime at the same time, right?

Could it be that the murderer is not a single person, but a gang?

A flash of inspiration struck Di Ao's mind, and he went to carefully study the wounds of the corpse.

He had already cared about why the corpse was a dried corpse without a little blood, and he found that the wounds of the deceased in Qingsang City and Liucheng were exactly the same, which meant that he thought the murderer was a person.

When he saw that Quyu County's corpses were the same as those corpses, he was instantly a little dazed.

If it was a gang, what was the motive for the killing? What was the ultimate purpose? Why were the methods the same? It was an apprentice who was taught by a master? So how did the blood go dry? What about the blood that flowed? Why can't there be any traces of blood anywhere?

It's just clueless.

Di Ao was very popular at that time, so he went to the street with a servant of the yamen to relax.

The man said that it has not been very peaceful recently, and Qu Yuzhen has recently lost seven or eight people, including men, women, young and old, and then put up the file of dried corpses, and the yamen is simply busy.

He was complaining, and there were people making trouble on the street, as if the people from Hongmen didn't give money after eating, and beat the boss.

Di Ao is upset, he naturally knows Hongmen, but he is not afraid of this group of bullies, if it weren't for the fact that since he took office, Hongmen has been very low-key, with his jealous and hateful nature, he has long wanted to touch Hongmen.

This is good, these Hongmen minions with a few points on their backs ran into hard stubble, and they were directly kicked by Di Ao one by one, and all of them were kicked back to the yamen and locked in the prison.

However, as soon as these little minions of Hongmen made such a fuss, Di Ao suddenly discovered one thing, and the towns where these crimes occurred seemed to have signs of Hongmen's activities.

Is this a coincidence?

His intuition told him that it wasn't, so he began to pay attention to Hongmen's movements.

Until now, Di Ao stood outside Yizhuang, sighed, and continued: "Sure enough, about ten days ago, such a case also happened on the side of Maple Leaf City, I went over to check, and Hongmen also had a stronghold there. ”

"And in other places, places that are not in the Hongmen's sphere of influence, there is nothing at all. ”

"Maple Leaf City?" Luo Liangqiu frowned when he heard these three words, and asked, "According to the time you said, something happened to Maple Leaf City not long after we left?"

Di Ao nodded and said, "If it is really related to Hongmen according to my guess, then everything seems to be reasonable. ”

"First, such a large-scale gang crime, judging from the modus operandi, is probably a master with extremely strong internal strength, sucking out all the blood of the deceased, and not spilling it at all, it seems that only Hongmen has such a background in Chenya County, and other counties will not mention it for the time being. ”

"Second, what is the purpose of doing this? Hongmen has been very low-key in recent years, and perhaps some conspiracy is brewing, and in doing these things, do they want to make an unsolved case? When the time comes, they will use such methods to kill people who affect their Hongmen's interests and create a false appearance, so as to escape punishment and clean up Hongmen. ”

After listening to what Di Ao said, Luo Liangqiu thought for a moment and asked, "What evidence do you have?"

Di Ao was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "No. ”
