This is truly astonishing!

The scene of the murder that happened three days ago, and the scene where the body was found was actually located at the same scene as the female corpse found this morning!

Chen Yutian and Gongsun narrowed their eyes slightly at the same time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Was it a coincidence, or was it intentional on the part of the murderer?

Bai Fan shook his head and ran to look at the corpse, and when he saw it for the first time, he said, "It's the same." ”

Chen Yutian was surprised, "What do you mean ......?"

Bai Fan nodded, "That's right, even the death is exactly the same!!! The hands and feet are tied, shaped like Ling Chi, the murderer's methods are cruel and outrageous!!"

Chen Yutian and Gongsun glanced at each other.

Even the death of the deceased is exactly the same, which means that there is a high probability that the same murderer committed the crime.

The two of them thought of the heavenly punishment sculptures in the ghost temple.

The death of the deceased is exactly the same as the sculpture of Ling Chi Tian's punishment, I thought that the murderer made those sculptures to indicate that he was going to kill five people, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that it is not five people.

It's five types of people!

Moreover, the number is not certain!

Thinking of this, a cloud surged into the hearts of both of them.

"It seems that it is necessary to investigate the murder that happened before......" Chen Yutian thought to himself.

Thinking of this, he said to Bai Fan: "Brother Bai, I wonder if I can take a look at the file of the case that happened before?"

Bai Fan knew that Chen Yutian had just cracked the tiger painting murder case in Lingshui County, and wished he could help him investigate the case.

So, after hearing Chen Yutian's request, he agreed without thinking.

"Of course, the file is in the yamen. ”

Chen Yutian smiled slightly, and immediately told Gongsun about their respective discoveries.

Bai Fan groaned slightly.

"According to Brother Chen, the deceased is from the capital city, and he should have been killed by an acquaintance! Moreover, the murderer is a man who is between six and seven feet tall, weighs about ninety pounds, and is good at using knives?"

Chen Yutian nodded.

Bai Fan pondered again, and then said to Zhang Yi beside him: "Zhang Zhutou, order to go down, and post notices throughout the city to find travelers from the capital and come to claim the corpse." As for the murderer......"

"It is impossible to identify the murderer based on these characteristics alone, so let's leave it ...... for now"

Zhang Yi agreed, and then quickly returned to the county office and went to Zhang Luo.

"Brother Chen, let's go back too, it's almost all investigated here. Bai Fan looked around and spoke.

Chen Yutian nodded.

Then, the three of them left here with the people of the county government brought by Bai Fan and returned to the county office.

Back at the county yamen, Bai Fan took Chen Yutian and the three of them to his study, and then put a file in front of Chen Yutian.

"Brother Chen, this is the case file you want to see. ”

Chen Yutian nodded, reached out to pick up the file, and opened it.

In the murder three days ago, the deceased was still a woman.

The body was found by a woodcutter who had gone into the mountains early in the morning to chop wood.

When the body was found, it was almost the same as it had been this morning, with its limbs bound in chains and hanging from a tree, its body covered with wounds, and a fatal wound to its neck.

However, unlike the body found this morning, the fatal wound of the deceased, although also in the neck, was not caused by a rope, but left two deep handprints.

It's obvious that he was strangled to death by life!!

This point attracted the attention of Chen Yutian.

If the same murderer committed the crime, then why was the former deceased strangled and the latter strangled?

If it weren't the same murderer, why was the modus operandi so similar?

Thinking about it, Chen Yutian sighed.

It seems that if you want to know this, you still have to look at the corpse for yourself to make a judgment.

So, he transferred the file to Gongsun.

Seeing this, Bai Fan on the side frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

"Knock Knock ......"

At that moment, drums suddenly sounded outside.

Everyone in the room looked out at the same time, and Bai Fan strode towards the inner hall to change his official uniform.

Chen Yutian touched his chin slightly.

The drum of grievances has sounded, and I am afraid that someone has come to report the case again.

......

......

When he came to the public hall, Chen Yutian saw the three classes of officials standing on both sides neatly with a killing stick, and below the public hall, there was a man kneeling.

The man was about 30 years old, with a pale face, a little fat, and quite wealthy.

It's just that at this moment, this person's eyes are dark, and his face is full of anxiety, but he has destroyed the wealth at all.

Chen Yutian looked at this person's boots with interest.

It was an ordinary pair of boots with black and white soles, but the soles of the boots were not flat, but thin in the front and thick in the back, which looked very novel.

Bai Fan was wearing an official uniform, sitting on top of the public hall, looking at the people kneeling under the hall, for fear of shock, "Ascend to the hall!!"

"Might!!" shouted in unison from the three classes of officials on both sides.

Bai Fan patted the hall again, "Who is in the hall, what is the complaint?"

I saw the man kneeling in the hall bowing deeply to Bai Fan, and said: "Lord Qingtian is above, the grass people have a lot of money, meet Lord Qingtian!"

Bai Fan waved his hand slightly in the hall, "No courtesy, there is a lot of money, you beat the drum and voice your grievances, but you have grievances to sue, let's talk quickly." ”

Qian Youliang bowed again and said: "Back to my lord, the grass people beat the drum and have no grievances, but came to report the case." ”

"Oh?" Bai Fan sighed, "What's the matter with you?"

Qian Youliang said: "My lord, the wife of the grass people, suddenly disappeared early this morning. ”

"Oh, and when was the last time you saw her?" Bai Fan asked.

"She was still in bed before going to bed last night, but when she woke up this morning, she found that she was gone. The grass people searched the entire inn, but they couldn't find her, and even searched several places she frequented, but they still found nothing. ”

Hearing the word "inn", Chen Yutian on the side was moved.

Bai Fan looked at Qian Youliang, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to speak, when he saw Chen Yutian on the side suddenly stand up.

"Brother Bai, can you ask him a few questions?"

Bai Fan nodded slightly, "Brother Chen, please." ”

Chen Yutian looked at Qian Youliang and asked: "Qian Youliang, I just heard you say that you searched the entire inn and didn't find your wife, so in this way, your husband and wife live in the inn, you, aren't you locals?"

Qian Youliang nodded, "Gongzi Mingjian, the grass people are actually from the capital, and they came here to Lingshui County to do business." ”

Hearing the word "capital", Chen Yutian's heart moved, and he took out the silver hairpin he picked up from the scene from his arms.

"There's a lot of money, do you know this?"

When Qian Youliang saw the silver hairpin, his eyes suddenly flashed, "This is exactly what my wife is, dare to ask my son, where did this thing come from?"

As soon as he said this, everyone present, including Bai Fan in the hall, was taken aback!!

Chen Yutian's expression became solemn.

The silver hairpin was found by him from the scene.

And now, the amount of money is sure that it is his wife's!

If he hadn't lied, then it was very likely that the deceased would have been the wife of a wealthy man!!

However, whether it is or not can only be determined after Qian Youliang has seen the corpse......

But if it really is, Chen Yutian is really a little worried, whether this person can accept this bad news.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Bai Fan.

saw that Bai Fan had already stood up at this moment, walked down the court, and came to Qian Youliang.

"There's a lot of money, I think we've found your wife. ”

Qian Youliang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "Really? Where is he now?"

Looking at the joy on Qian Youliang's face, a faint glow flashed in Bai Fan's eyes.

He didn't know whether to tell Qian Youliang about the bad news, but it was a fact after all, and it was a fact that he had to face sooner or later.

"You, come with this county. After a moment of silence, Bai Fan slowly spoke, and then walked towards the back hall.

Qian Youliang followed with a happy face.

He didn't know that what he was about to face was the corpse of his wife.

Chen Yutian and the three of them looked at each other, sighed, and followed Bai Fan into the back hall.

Soon, Bai Fan came to the house with a lot of money, next to his wife's corpse.

At this moment, the corpse was covered with a white cloth, and it was impossible to see the specific situation.

Qian Youliang obviously discovered something was wrong along the way, standing next to the corpse, the joy on his face had long been replaced by an unbelievable look of surprise.

He glanced at Bai Fan, and Bai Fan nodded slightly.

Immediately, he took a deep breath and gently lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and the moment he saw the corpse's face, he suddenly shuddered, and the white cloth in his hand fell directly to the ground.

Then a cry of sorrow rang out.

"Yun'er ......"
