Chapter 588: The Murderer Exposed
Li An was very happy when he heard that the investigation had progressed, although his subordinates could not confirm the murderer, but the clues that had been discovered were enough to make people excited.
The relief food that the victims can receive every day is very limited, and they can't fill their stomachs at all, and after so many days, all the victims are yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and they are weak, and in this case, if someone suddenly appears to be energetic, there must be a problem, and the possibility of being a murderer is extremely great.
Of course, if it is determined that someone is the murderer based on this alone, the evidence is very insufficient, and it is difficult to convince the public, and even if a piece of meat is found from someone, it cannot be determined that it is human flesh, after all, there are so many animals in the jungle of the Heling Kingdom, how can people who have not eaten human flesh judge what kind of meat this is, the taste is wrong, and it may also be a rare animal!
Therefore, it is necessary to keep a long line on the big fish, continue to closely monitor the victims who have abnormalities, and find out where the murderer is hiding the meat.
After lunch, Li An personally walked around the base camp where the victims lived, and personally looked at the situation in the base camp, based on his own experience, found out the suspicious victims, and secretly observed the suspicious people to further determine his judgment.
Through a series of observations, Ang Lee basically identified several suspicious victims, and asked his subordinates to closely monitor these people, of course, to monitor quietly, and never let the other party find out that they were being monitored.
At dinner, Li An did not eat with the king of the Heling Kingdom, he dined with several subordinates, including the southbound brigade and several civil officials.
"Li Shilang, the murderer may be a few victims, the pieces of meat they carry with them are very limited, it is estimated that they should go to get meat tonight, as long as we follow quietly behind, we will definitely be able to find out what they are doing, but the soldiers and horses of the Heling Kingdom have blocked the camp, and the suspected victims cannot leave the camp at all, so how can they show their feet? Is it to inform the soldiers and horses of the Heling Kingdom and ask him to lift the blockade of the camp. ”
Southbound Mouth suggested.
It is clear that the southbound people are now desperate to catch the murderers, and the current lockdown policy is very unfavorable to bringing the murderers to justice.
Li An smiled, shook his head and said, "You! Just thinking about bringing the murderer to justice, but not thinking about the fact that once the blockade is lifted, more innocent victims will be killed! You have to know that if there is no restriction on the victims, a large number of people will go out, so how can we effectively monitor them? If there is another tragedy in which the victims are killed, will you be held responsible? ”
"Oh, why did the subordinates forget about this layer? It's the negligence of his subordinates, so what does Li Shilang think? You can't just keep it going! ”
Southbound can't afford to continue the accident, but there seems to be no better way than to let the murderer show himself.
Li An smiled and said: "For the safety of the rest of the victims, it is very necessary to continue the blockade, so that the murderer will not have a chance to continue to commit crimes, and it is not difficult to let the murderer show his feet, as long as the guards are a little relaxed, ordinary victims will not take the risk to avoid the guards and leave quietly, and the murderer will definitely take risks in order to get the hidden pieces of meat, and we only need to follow the victims who sneaked out." ”
After speaking, he looked at the south with a proud face.
"Li Shilang Gaojian, then I'll go and tell the guards of Heling Kingdom, let them relax a little, and let the murderer have a chance."
I got up and left when I went south.
"Wait."
Li An shook his head, pointed to the wine and meat on the table, and said: "It is very inappropriate for you to directly order the guards of the Heling Kingdom, bring all this wine and meat, let the guards enjoy it, and say that it is the intention of the official." ”
Obviously, Li An was worried that the guards would leak out, after all, the guards and the victims were both from the Heling Kingdom, maybe they knew each other, and if they leaked out of their mouths during the chat, the murderer would be vigilant, so it would be difficult to bring him to justice.
And it is very reasonable to send some wine and meat to the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom who are in charge of guarding, and others will not think too much, after all, this is just a reward, and there is nothing wrong with it, and the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom who are responsible for guarding the camp will also be very happy in their hearts, after all, others have to sleep at night, and they have to be responsible for guarding, and this is undoubtedly very hard, what's wrong with giving a reward.
"Eh, my subordinates understand."
Nan Li quickly understood what Li An meant, and called a few soldiers to pack all the food on the table and send it to the position where the guards of the Heling Kingdom were on duty.
The tent was not far from the location of the camp camp, and he led a few soldiers to the south, and soon arrived at the camp of the guards of the Heling Kingdom, and met the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom who were about to be on duty at night.
"Soldiers, this is the wine and meat that our Li Shilang has rewarded you, you are in charge of the night guard, hard work!"
He said very politely to the south, and asked his subordinate soldiers to bring all the wine and meat to the table, so that the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom could eat and drink boldly.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we have to be on duty at night and can't drink."
A leading general said.
Nanxia sneered: "Isn't it just to look at these victims and not let them run around at night? Can't stand them after a little drinking? The amount of alcohol is really not good, I think at the beginning, I was a Tang soldier, and I could kill several times stronger enemies after drinking a few jars of wine, you guys are too weak! ”
After saying that, he said with a look of contempt, alluding to the incompetence of the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom, and he drank some wine and coaxed.
The soldiers of the Heling Kingdom also want dignity, and they are naturally very unhappy when they are despised so badly, and they come to the disaster area so hard, what is wrong with treating themselves, besides, it doesn't take much to take care of the frail victims, and they can complete the task by drinking some wine.
"Since the generals have said so, what else can we say? Soldiers, eat and drink, don't live up to the good intentions of the Tang officials, eat! ”
How can the leading officer admit it, isn't it just to drink some wine? Is it possible to get drunk after a few drinks?
As soon as they heard that they could let go of eating and drinking, the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom were all happy, they were all strong young people, who didn't like to eat and drink, it should be more enjoyable.
Actually, these guys don't know that the wine sent by Li Ang to the south is a unique drink in Datang, this kind of wine has a relatively high degree, and the stamina is relatively large, it looks like it is just a few bowls, in fact, it can be regarded as drinking a lot, it is easy to make people feel tired and sleepy, and it is easier to make people drunk.
After the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom began to eat and drink, they left with a few soldiers under their command and let these soldiers eat and drink slowly.
"Li Shilang, it's all done, these boys are really unprovoked, they can get them done with a few words, looking at the way they drink, half of them must be lying down, they don't know how powerful our wine is?"
Nanxia said excitedly.
Li An smiled and said: "If the guards are not tight, tonight, most of the murderers will choose to leave the camp and secretly go to get the pieces of meat, if you are interested, personally lead people to quietly ambush them, if you really find that someone sneaks out, then don't startle the snake, you must follow quietly, until you find that the murderer takes out the stolen goods, you must get both the stolen goods and ensure that you hit it with one blow." ”
"Li Shilang, you can rest assured, your subordinates will not let you down, as long as the murderer takes action, he will not be able to escape the justice of his subordinates."
Nanxia said confidently.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news, let's prepare!"
Li An waved his hand and asked him to go south to prepare, while he himself was ready to rest, although it is very important to solve the case, rest is even more important, Li An will not damage his body in order to help Helingguo solve the case, he is not so great, and there is no need for this at all, as for helping Helingguo find the murderer, just let his subordinates do it, so many subordinates, no need to use it in vain.
The soldiers of the Heling Kingdom who drank the wine were all a little drunk, and those who had a better amount of alcohol seemed a little tired, and their minds were still happy, while the cowards who had a bad amount of alcohol were directly paralyzed.
The leading general naturally drank better, but he also drank a little too much, at this time, the whole body looked quite tired, and then looked at the soldiers under his command, good guy, fell a large piece! It's quite infuriating.
Because his head was still quite sober, he understood that the Tang soldiers did not drugged the wine, and his subordinates poured a large piece, which can only show that the strength of the Tang Dynasty's wine is high, and when he first drank it, he felt it, and felt that the Tang Dynasty's wine was very delicious and enjoyable, but he didn't expect it to be so strong at that time.
However, no matter what, his duty cannot be changed, and he must do his duty to protect the victims.
The number of personnel was reduced by half at once, which made him a little annoyed, but even if only half of the personnel were left, he was confident that he was able to complete the task very well, most of the victims were yellow and thin, and they couldn't make any trouble, as long as they let their subordinates patrol back and forth, it was enough to complete the task.
The night became quieter and quieter, except for the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom who were in charge of patrolling, almost everyone else slept, except for those who had special tasks.
However, the night is not completely quiet, especially in the camp camp, where you can hear the gurgling sound from time to time, and it is obvious that it is the victim's stomach that is calling.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the Heling Kingdom who were in charge of patrolling could still carefully observe the movements around them, but they slowly became numb, and they did not carefully observe the movements around them, but only walked back and forth symbolically, and even leaned on a certain place to take a nap.
In a tent for the victims, three adult victims saw that everyone else was asleep, quietly walked out, and carefully observed the surrounding movements, and saw that the guards were lazy, so they boldly touched out, and carefully along the way, they were not found, and successfully left the camp.
Just when these three people were secretly rejoicing, they had already been targeted by the Tang Army soldiers.
"General, sure enough, three victims of the disaster ran out quietly, do you want to follow."
Nanxia said: "Don't worry, the distance is too close, when they go farther, we will follow, at least keep a distance of thirty steps from them." ”
"Yes, understood."
After the three victims left thirty paces, they went south with a number of soldiers, quietly followed, and always kept a distance of thirty paces away from them, although the visibility at night is very low, the distance is too far and easy to follow, but the night is also relatively quiet, once the distance is too close, it is easy to be heard by the other party, so it is difficult to get the stolen goods, these cunning guys, it is very likely to cheat, insist that they come out to find food, so, what can you do with them.
The officers and men of the Tang Army are all trained, so even if they can't see the people in front of them, they can easily follow each other until they are caught.
The three victims walked in a hurry, almost at the fastest speed, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with such a rapid march at night, which had a very strong purpose, and even a fool could see it.
"General, they stopped."
The officers and men of the Tang Army immediately stopped and pricked up their ears to feel the movement in front of them.
"This group of turtle grandsons finally stopped, and they actually ran so far, at least six miles away from the camp."
Nanxia took a breath and complained in a low voice.
"It's on fire, they're actually lighting a fire, so bold!"
When a Tang soldier heard the sound of ignition, he was suddenly surprised, lighting a fire at night, it was easy to expose his position, such a dangerous thing, they actually dared to do it, which surprised the Tang soldiers greatly, it can be seen that these guys are laymen, and the level is really not good.
"Look, General, it's a fire, it's faint. They must have been in a deep depression, and there was very little light coming out, so it was very hazy, and if they were a few hundred paces away, they might not be visible. ”
A soldier whispered.
"General, what are you waiting for, capture them!"
Another soldier said.
Nanxia hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, anyway, they are in front, and they will definitely not be able to escape." ”
Soon, the smell of meat came from the faint light of the fire, as well as the sound of chewing and laughing, and it was clear that the guys were roasting and eating meat and talking about things that would make them happy.
Because talking and eating meat will produce a relatively loud noise, because it is easy to ignore the surrounding sounds, for this reason, he stretched out his hand to let his subordinates quietly move closer, preparing to capture the three victims in one fell swoop.
Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, five steps, three steps, one step, until Nanxia and the others reached the edge of the deep pit, these three victims did not notice, and they were still eating and drinking excitedly.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Nanxia's mouth, and he ordered: "Arrest them all." ”
Hearing the order, several Tang Army officers and soldiers immediately took action, captured all the three victims who had not fully reacted, and tied them up very strongly.
It wasn't until they were tied up that these hateful fellows understood what was going on, and one by one was so frightened that he peed his pants.
