Chapter Seventy-Three: The Silver Hairpin
From Du Yi's mouth, Zhou Ang quickly figured out what was going on.
A small couple stayed in this inn this morning, no one cared about them, Anminfang people come and go every day, the population is extremely mobile, the shop's little two confessed that they arrived shortly before lunch, only paid for one night's room, and he also heard them discuss that they will leave by boat early tomorrow morning.
As a result, in the afternoon, a customer came back from outside, and went to the wrong door for a while, and their door never fell on the door, so it was pushed open casually, and then the customer shouted in fright, and the store knew that something was wrong.
First of all, the guards of Anminfang came to block the scene and controlled all the people in the inn who knew about it, and then the county government entered and carried out a larger-scale blockade, and then, Gao Jing and Gao Anping arrived with the people from the county Zhu Yamen - but it was funny to say that after a short time, the people from the county Zhu Yamen actually came.
Love killing, vendetta killing, robbery?
But here's the problem, everyone has experienced, the dead fox has white hair behind her ears, which means that she is already a nine-grade demon fox, ordinary people, even if it is a robbery villain, who can kill her?
The death of a fox demon on the spot means that this matter has been out of the scope of ordinary criminal cases. It is already a mysterious event involving practitioners and youkai.
Lingzhou County Zhu Gao Jing Gao Anping said, we will investigate this matter thoroughly!
However, the person sent by the county Zhu Yamen was not lower in rank than Gao County Zhu at all, it was a priest, he insisted that the matter was important, and he was afraid that the county Zhu Yamen would not be able to investigate and handle it, so the county Zhu Yamen asked to take over the case directly.
When he said this, Du Yi blinked his eyes and looked helpless.
Zhou Angdang even understood what he meant: Even if there is no follow-up progress in this case, there is a corpse of a fox demon in front of him!
So, to a certain extent, what the case is going on has not yet been clarified, and the county and county levels have begun to fight again - the problem is that the county is the superior, and they say that they want to take over a certain case, and even Gao Jing and Gao Anping in the county have almost no resistance.
If it is taken over halfway, then the credit and gains in the early stage, who is the one, and I am not afraid, but this case does not need to be investigated, and there is a direct credit to start with, as long as the other party takes over, it is impossible to get this credit in the county.
So there was a dispute.
Just now I received Fang Jun's "popular science" in the yamen, of course Zhou Ang understands, don't care if your county is big or small, and don't care whether your detection ability is strong or weak, in terms of capturing and killing monsters, everyone can only be passive, and can only wait for the monsters to do things by themselves and accidentally fall into the net.
Take the initiative to search and search, many times it will be like Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen when he searched for another fox demon, hard work for half a month, all kinds of investigations, but nothing was gained, and finally relied on the owner of a leather shop to get the body of the fox demon.
It is conceivable that the Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen, who has not found anything in the whole of May, is currently in great need of this fox demon corpse, even if the other party is from the county, as long as the county Zhu does not come to Mount Tai in person, Gao Jing will go out and fight with the other party.
Because this represents the core interests of the county Zhu Yamen - merit and assessment.
However, Zhou Ang was not actually interested in all this.
Listening to Du Yi tell him what had happened in the corner, he quickly went back, his eyes still staring directly at the fox that had been dead for a long time.
The sun was almost setting, but the big candles were already lit in the house, and it was still very bright.
Zhou Ang finally chose to walk in.
There are people from the county Zhu Yamen side in the room, headed by Gao Jing, and there are also people from the county Zhu Yamen side, headed by a middle-aged man with a dignified temperament - the current atmosphere is frozen and a little embarrassing.
But Zhou Ang didn't care about them, he went straight to the corpse of the fox demon.
Maybe he saw that no one outside stopped him, and even if the people in the room didn't know him at this moment, they didn't mean to stop Zhou Ang - the focus of the debate in the room now was no longer the case itself.
In the event of a special incident, it is absolutely defensible that the yamen directly in charge of the place where the case occurred should be responsible. On the side of the county Zhu Yamen, it is talking about the law of the country.
Once the county believes that the impact of the case is too great, or the county-level county Zhu Yamen is not effective in investigating and handling the case, or the level involved is too high, and the county-level yamen is already inadequate, they can take over the case at any time.
This is also the law of the land.
Therefore, it is impossible for the argument to have a convincing result for both sides, and it can only be smaller than the official.
Therefore, in a county and a county, the parallel level of the Sishe and the county Zhu can't fight for results, but everyone is reluctant to let out the corpse of this fox, and it's not good to fight because of this......
Zhou Ang leaned down and took a closer look.
This was, of course, the corpse of the second fox demon he had ever seen.
I was startled when I looked at the door, but to be honest, when I looked closer, I could clearly see that although the two fox demons were mottled and similar, they were definitely not the same one.
It's just that there is a weird atmosphere inside and out of this matter!
The deceased, a man who looked to be in his twenties, was handsome, and his current identity had been confirmed, and it was said that his relatives and classmates were being notified to come and identify the body.
They were supposed to elope, because a lot of belongings were found in their luggage, and there were two large ingots of silver alone, which was enough for them to rent a small yard in another place and start their lives again.
If it is only him who died, then there are many kinds of speculations, but they can all find relevant directions, which are not difficult to analyze, but now that one person and one fox are dying together, it is not easy to guess.
Ninety percent of the murderer's motive for killing is likely to come from the fox demon.
Because even if a scholar offends someone and wants to run away, the probability of offending will only be ordinary people, so it is impossible for the killer sent by the other party to easily kill a Jiupin fox demon.
What's more, it wasn't until someone mistakenly pushed the door that someone found out that the person in the room was dead, which means that there was no sound of a fight coming out at all, and the furnishings in the room were also very neat, not like they had experienced a fight - it was easy for the killer to succeed, and it was likely that before he did it, the relevant prohibitions were placed in this room, so that the movement in the room could not be transmitted at all.
So, is the killer a master among cultivators, or is he another powerful demon?
If it is the former, according to Fang Jun, all the corpses of monsters have a price and can be traded on the black market. Then, wouldn't it be better for the murderer to take away the body of the fox demon, not only in exchange for a sum of money, but also to turn this matter into a simple ordinary person being killed, avoiding the involvement of official cultivators such as the county Zhu Yamen? Wouldn't it be more conducive to hiding his traces in this matter?
If it's the latter...... Demons kill each other?
It's not impossible.
According to Uncle Zheng, the monsters in the world, except for the heavenly demons that have been inherited, are all mutated by being "infected" by aura by chance.
Therefore, their bodies have been drastically changed and they have spiritual intelligence, but the development and growth of spiritual intelligence often cannot keep up with the progress of physical ability, so the more low-level monsters are, the more likely they are to be irritable and not know how to restrain. Second, the psychology of demons comes from nature, and they grow up in nature by relying on the rules of the jungle, they are often cunning by nature, but they have no inheritance after becoming demons, and they have no relatives, because their relatives in the past are still just beasts, and they have long been unable to communicate, so it is easier to form recklessness and animal nature.
So, infighting?
Otherwise, someone deliberately killed a fox demon and deliberately left the corpse in order to demonstrate to whom?
Well, thinking too much......
Zhou Ang was not a lover of detective novels in his previous life, and at this time, it was purely because the dead fox demon was a bit similar to his old acquaintance, so he subconsciously wanted to observe and analyze it.
Actually, I can't see anything.
There are many detectives in this room, and if there are any clues, they should have been found out a long time ago.
Thinking of this, he sighed slowly in his heart and was about to stand up, but the next moment, his eyes slid over the man's corpse, and he suddenly noticed a flash of bright color.
It's reflective!
Stunned for a moment, Zhou Ang squatted back before he got up, twisted his body, and discovered the source of the reflection.
There were no gloves these days, but there was no fingerprint identification technology, so Zhou Ang was relieved but carefully pinched the scholar's sleeve and gently lifted it - there was an ordinary silver hairpin hidden under his arm.
Zhou Ang's eyelids jumped when he saw it.
At this time, there was a humane outside: "The portrait is here!"
Zhou Ang took another serious look at the silver hairpin, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up.
