Chapter 8: Mystery Cases
"Recently, the murder cases in the city have become more and more rampant, and the murderer is still at large, and the people in Dali Temple still have no eyebrows?"
King Jin walked back and forth in the study, "The murderer doesn't seem to have any motive for killing people, and the people he killed don't seem to have any connection and basis, which really makes it impossible for us to find out at all." Then he sat down again.
"This seems to be a simple case, but it's not simple at all!"
He frowned and flipped through the case file, and could tell that he was trying to find some clues. Suddenly, when he finished the third volume, his complexion changed slightly. It seems that he has found a pattern:
"Second brother, come and see, there is a clue. ”
"Oh, what clue?" King Qi walked to King Jin without hurry, and King Jin pointed to the first case file and explained to King Jin: "Look, the murderer's first killing was at Ximen, and the time was Shenshi.
The second time he killed the man was also at the West Gate, and the time was unitary. The third time he killed was at the West Gate, and the time was at the end of the day. Based on the location of Ximen and the three time periods of Shen, You, and Xu, it can be inferred that the place and time of the murderer's next killing should be Ximenhai. ”
"But will the murderer really kill someone else? Is this really that simple?" the two said in unison. At this moment, the people of Dali Temple came to the palace. And Mu Lingzhen curiously and secretly hid outside the window to eavesdrop on the conversation of several people, and the people of Dali Temple only said one sentence: "The murderer appeared again, this time at the south gate, at the same time." ”
King Jin looked at King Qi and said calmly: "It seems that our thinking is really wrong. Ling Ying waved his hand, and the people from Dali Temple left the case file and left: "The little one retires!" After the people from Dali Temple left, King Qi stood up. "In this case, we didn't find the right idea from the beginning to the end. King Jin raised the tea and drank it all: "That's right! Okay, it's not too early, I should also go, I wish you a smooth solution to the case, second brother." "The King of Jin also left the palace of the king of Qi.
Mu Lingzhen was also confused outside the window, she wanted to leave, but was discovered by King Qi. "I've heard enough, why don't you come in for this king. Mu Lingzhen looked around, but found that there was no one else around except herself.
"It's you, don't come in yet!" Mu Lingzhen was shocked in her heart, but she still mustered up the courage to slowly push the door in. She stood very nervously in front of King Qi, and King Qi didn't raise his head, and asked directly, "What do you understand?" Mu Lingzhen was a little puzzled. "What?"
"This king is asking, what do you think of this case?" Ling Ying's tone was very cold, as if to say: If you don't know, then the crime of eavesdropping on their speech without permission is not small.
Mu Lingzhen didn't know how to answer for a while, but with the premise that she had often secretly helped the police investigate the case in private, and instead of playing detective games to find out the murderer, she couldn't help but gamble on it. So she asked the king for the case file, "I wonder if the prince is willing to hand over this case to the slave maid? The slave maid wants to try to solve the case." ”
"You?" a smile flashed across Ling Ying's face, "It's okay to leave the case to you." But... This king only gives you ten days, and if you can't solve this case within ten days, the consequences should not need to be reminded by this king!"
Mu Lingzhen clenched his fists excitedly, "Lord Xie, Leng Mu will definitely solve this case within ten days." ”
King Qi handed all the case files to Mu Lingzhen, and when he saw a large number of strange characters in front of him, Mu Lingzhen instantly became worried.
This is terrible, I don't know a single word in ancient Chinese, how can I sort out the content of this case? Mu Lingzhen couldn't help but think bitterly. "If there is anything you don't understand, you can just come and ask the king. Ling Ying said as if she knew what she was thinking. When Mu Lingzhen heard this, he immediately took the case file and approached King Qi.
"Then may I ask what is written on it? I am not from your time, so I can't read. Mu Lingzhen said with some embarrassment. When Ling Ying heard this, her face was immediately full of black lines. "It seems that after this case, you have to work hard for this king. As he spoke, he wrote a few words on the paper with a brush - "Dongjiaoling, Zhou Zhuang, Zhou Jingyu." "You go to Zhouzhuang in the eastern suburbs to find a person named Zhou Jingyu, and he will accompany you to investigate the case." ”
"Yes!" After Mu Lingzhen put away the paper, he picked up the case file and left the palace of King Qi.
