Chapter 239: Cunning Murderer
Xu Xian, who had just taken office, felt a little high-spirited, and even the unabated indifference on his face showed some signs of melting, if he let people who were familiar with Xu Xian see it, he didn't know what to be surprised about!
Xu Xian is a very good person, this is very clear to those who are familiar with this, but the habits developed by handling cases all year round are not so easy to change, in order to achieve the purpose of deterring suspects, it is inevitable to make appropriate sacrifices, and most of the people around him are used to it after a long time!
There are naturally people who are not used to it, after all, getting along with a person with an indifferent face all day long, the psychological pressure is too great, not to mention that Xu Xian's body still has a faint coercion formed by the perennial handling of cases, and people who are not open-minded enough will be afraid if they don't last long, and they can't help but want to escape from Xu Xian's side.
After coming to the new environment, Xu Xian didn't want to be too indifferent, but unfortunately because of his reputation, the administrators of the Dujiang Branch didn't dare to get too close to Xu Xian, for fear of accidentally offending the captain of the team who came from the airborne!
That's right, Xu Xian's position after being transferred and promoted is nothing else, it is the captain of a team of Dujiang Branch!
Regarding this, Xu Xian was also quite surprised, you must know that the captain of a team is not a captain in the general sense, and he also shoulders the rights and obligations of leading the inspection department, and the actual power is second only to the leader of the sub-bureau, and even more so in some aspects!
As soon as he took office, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and Xu Xian's heart was also a little nervous, especially when the previous captain died in his post, Xu Xian, who was parachuted, happened to snatch the position that should have belonged to Xiao Yang, the captain of the second detachment, and he was even more unhappy!
However, this decision came from the resolution of the leaders of the Dujiang Branch, and Xu Xian was not easy to refuse in public, not to mention that whether it was strength or seniority, Xu Xian was more qualified than Xiao Yang to succeed to this position.
Xu Xian's reputation is outside, even Xiao Yang, who is far away in Dujiang, has heard of it, and Xiao Yang is also extremely admirable for this kind of detective master with real materials, and after seeing Xu Xian's methods, he is even more convinced!
But having said that, Xiao Yang's heart is still a little unhappy, if it weren't for Xu Xian who parachuted in, the position of captain of a team should have belonged to him, and he was robbed of what should have belonged to him for no reason, and anyone would have a little temper.
Xiao Yang's mind is not difficult to guess, the administrators of the inspection department who have been with each other for a long time also have a feeling of sadness about this, although they didn't say anything, they still have some thoughts in their hearts, and Xu Xian's situation became embarrassing for a while.
It is definitely not possible to force it, the new official's practice of taking office with three fires will only shorten the distance between the two sides, and will not bring any change to Xu Xian's current situation.
The administrators of the inspection department are not indiscriminate people, and the reason why they resist Xu Xian's arrival is more because they miss the former captain, Xiao Yang's dissatisfaction is just a fuse, which leads to the feeling that everyone is not as good as a newcomer in their hearts.
In this case, the problem has become much simpler, after all, dealing with interpersonal relationships is not what Xu Xian is good at, and investigating and arresting murderers is his old job!
After some investigation, Xu Xian quickly found clues, the body of the former captain was not found, the reason why it was recognized as dead was mainly because it had been missing for too long, and obvious traces of fighting and a large amount of blood were found at the scene of the other party's disappearance, judging by the amount of blood loss, the possibility of survival was very small!
This incident happened before Xu Xian's transfer and promotion, and the administrators of the Dujiang Branch were busy investigating the cause of the death of the former captain, and they were not in a hurry to fill the vacancy in their positions.
After checking the case analysis report in detail, Xu Xian's spirit was also lifted, and the coveted big case was now in front of him, whether he could grasp this opportunity or not, it was a matter of one move!
Years of experience in handling cases made Xu Xian quickly come to a preliminary judgment, but the details of the case are still to be discussed.
After making up his mind, Xu Xian began to act, and without saying hello to others, he surveyed the crime scene alone, trying to find information about the murderer from some clues!
Because too long has passed since the crime, Xu Xian was also worried that some traces left at the scene of the crime would disappear, so he had to push back to forward in chronological order, starting with the scene where the previous captain was killed.
The advantage of this is obvious, the earlier the crime occurred at the scene, the lower the probability of leaving clues, if you push back from the front to the end in chronological order, it is very likely to miss the clues that should not be missed, and the result is half the effort!
Of course, it is also possible to miss the previous clues by pushing back forward, but this probability is relatively low, and the clues that can gradually disappear over time can rarely be maintained for a long time, and in terms of probability, it is not worth sacrificing for this.
With the deepening of the investigation, the situation gradually became clear, the murderer hidden in the shadows is very cunning, seems to have mastered some special means of exploration, can accurately detect the breath of the fairy demon, once it is found that the number of enemies is superior, he will immediately flee thousands of miles, not dragging the mud and water at all, and picking a single target to start.
As of the disappearance of the previous captain, there have been more than ten cases of disappearance, the targets are all fairies and demons after being alone, the strength of the former captain is the strongest among these people, I am afraid it is precisely because of this that the former captain has the idea of luring the enemy alone, and finally unfortunately killed!
However, the former captain's luring of the enemy is not without gains, since the disappearance of the former captain, the murderer has never shown up, and I don't know whether he died together or was seriously injured and did not dare to move, from Xu Xian's personal point of view, he is more inclined to the latter, after all, the body of the former captain has not been found so far, and it is very likely that he has died in the murderer's womb.
The basic characteristics of the murderer can already be determined, the carnivorous demon clan, whose strength is probably around the early stage of the Demon Emperor, has some special means to detect the aura of the fairy demon, but it can only judge the approximate number of enemies, and cannot judge the strength of the enemy.
The scope of the murderer's activities is near the Dujiang Branch, and after reading the information of the nearby Bureau, the possibility of foreign demon clans running around to commit crimes can be basically ruled out, combined with the judgment of strength, it is very likely that it is the demon clan that has recently broken through, because there are some hidden dangers left in the process of breakthrough, and a lot of energy is urgently needed, so the target is set on the lonely fairy demon.
Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, the murderer's attack method is relatively savage, mainly relying on a powerful body to fight, hiding in the shadows to launch a surprise attack, and striving to inflict heavy damage on the enemy at the beginning of the battle, or even kill him with a direct blow!
Except for the former captain, the vast majority of the victims did not have any power to resist, and almost at the moment when the murderer launched a surprise attack, they were already doomed to death, which also led to the fact that the murderer and the victim left very few traces at the scene, and there are not many clues with real reference value!
However, it is strange that the former captain, who had obviously taken precautions against this, was also seriously injured at the beginning of the battle and did not escape the murderer's surprise attack.
This directly led to the subsequent tragedy, otherwise, judging from the traces of the fight left at the scene, even if he was defeated by the murderer, the former captain would not even have the ability to escape!
Illusion or bait?
Xu Xian's heart subconsciously flashed two guesses, but after a moment, he put this idea behind him, judgments without clues do not have any value, preconceived words are easy to be misled by the murderer, before grasping further clues, it is better to make fewer assertions!
The investigation of the crime scene came to an end soon, not that Xu Xian was in a hurry to close the case, there were not many useful clues, plus the administrators of the Dujiang Branch who were eager for revenge, even used their strength to eat milk when they investigated the scene, and the case analysis report of the situation they wanted to know was all above, and it was enough to compare it a little!
The reason why Xu Xian was able to detect and arrest the murderer never overnight was not enough with strong strength, if there was no special means, how could he maintain such a high efficiency for more than ten years, I am afraid that he would have been slapped in the face by endless cases!
A mist gradually appeared around Xu Xian, and in the sound of incantations that kept chanting, it slowly turned into dozens of identical-looking figures, floating in the air without touching the ground.
From a distance, in addition to the lack of facial features, the general outline of these figures and Xu Xian are almost printed in the same mold, except for being a little dull, it is really a little difficult to distinguish the real from the fake after turning their backs!
After condensing dozens of figures, Xu Xian's pressure was not small, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he even took a few breaths of heaviness, making a fog shadow puppet at any cost, Xu Xian was also the first time, but in order to find clues as soon as possible, he couldn't care so much!
After an order, dozens of fog shadow puppets scattered in all directions, and after a short time, they disappeared without a trace, completely blending into the air, if it weren't for the extremely sensitive fairies and demons in terms of senses, it would be impossible to discover the existence of these fog shadow puppets, with this hand alone, Xu Xian is worthy of his great reputation that has been spread outside!
