As the saying goes, good spirits do not lead bad spirits.

Sun Shaozong's premonition really came true!

Although Qiu Yunfei and Zhao Wuxing followed the vine and asked for the identities of the two victims in the human market, they had nothing to gain except for bringing back a group of old and young people who were crying and shouting from their homes.

Those two Liba are not completely without enemies.

But first, they don't have much grudge against each other, and they are not worth this kind of torture;

Second, their enemies are also hard-working haha, to say that it may be possible to kill people, but to say that they are willing to pour out a jar of Fenjiu whole, and rent a carriage to throw the corpse - that would be pure nonsense!

And these days coincide with the approaching New Year's Festival, and the market is also very lively, and no one notices at all whether the two Liba left on their own or were hired by others.

As for Sun Shaozong's inference based on the corpse, the person with a disabled right arm didn't even see a shadow, but provoked Qiu Yunfei to say a lot of cool things behind his back.

And then ......

By the next morning, there was another corpse in the morgue!

This time, the victim was a beggar, who had also been frozen to death after his limbs were broken and poured with alcohol, and the injury on his right arm was also much worse than that of the other side.

The only difference is that the last time the body was dumped in the South City, this time it was changed to the East City.

"The two dumping sites are about nine miles apart, and it is almost certain that the corpses were dumped in a horse-drawn carriage."

"And given the extent of the deceased's regular activities during his lifetime, there is not much overlap with the two libas, and the possibility of vendetta can be basically ruled out - and it is very likely that it was a cathartic crime with no fixed target."

Sun Shaozong muttered to himself, marked the approximate location of the two places where the corpses were dumped on the sketchy map of Shuntianfu, and linked them with straight lines, and drew a circle with a radius of four and a half miles from the center point.

Knocking on the map with his homemade charcoal, he asked, "Zhao Wuxing, leaving aside the inner city and the outside of the city, how long will it take to check all the people with the disabled right arm in the range I have roughly circled?" ”

Zhao Wuxing stepped forward and looked at it carefully, his face was like a bitter gourd, and he said cautiously: "Back to the master, this has to be put on hold in normal times, if you go all out, it will be about the same in three or four days, but now it is at the end of the year, and people are really ......."

Sun Shaozong didn't bother to listen to his complaints, and asked straight to the point: "Can you finish the investigation by the twenty-eighth?" ”

Zhao Wuxing's face became even more bitter, and he slumped his shoulders and said, "This is really ......"

"If you want to talk about human hands."

Qiu Yunfei listened to it for a long time, and suddenly interjected: "There are some in the city defense camp, they are all my father's old department, and I can call you casually, and I can transfer hundreds of people to help investigate the case in minutes." ”

As he spoke, he aimed his nostrils at Sun Shaozong, with a 'Come and beg me, as long as you beg me obediently, I will help you' with a tsundere expression.

Who knew that Sun Shaozong shook his head without hesitation and said, "No! At the root of this year, the use of the city defense battalion to investigate the case is really too eye-catching, and it is easy to cause panic among the people - if this New Year is really disturbed, even if the murderer can be caught, we are afraid that it will be useless. ”

"Cut~"

Qiu Yunfei's face collapsed, and he simply stopped talking.

"Xiao Yanei was also anxious to solve the case, so he didn't think about it so much."

Lin Delu on the side was busy playing a round field: "Zhao Bantou, this matter is difficult to return, but it should be investigated, you first go to negotiate with Daxing and Wanping counties, and see if they can send some people out there, and try to screen the places designated by adults before the twenty-eight." ”

"Obedience."

Zhao Wuxing had no choice but to take the order.

Lin Delu asked Sun Shaozong again: "My lord, I don't know if there are any other instructions?" ”

"Not for the time being, there are really fewer clues at the moment."

Sun Shaozong shook his head helplessly, if in an ordinary ancient city, a clue that his right arm was disabled would be enough to lock the murderer.

But the permanent residents of this Shuntian Mansion plus the temporary, the population is not less than 1.3 million, especially now that the New Year is approaching, a large number of foreign merchants and homebound wanderers have poured in, plus many people from all over the country have entered Beijing in advance to prepare for the exam......

How easy is it to rely on these hundreds of servants under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Names Division for screening?

"Governor Lin, you are staring ahead, if there is any news from Zhao Wuxing, report it to me immediately." Sun Shaozong said, waved at Qiu Yunfei again, and said, "Let's go, come with me to the morgue to have a good examination, and see if we can dig out any clues from the dead beggar." ”

As he spoke, he stepped out of the courtyard of the Criminal Division.

Although Qiu Yunfei was very reluctant, he was afraid that Sun Shaozong would give him a few more slaps in the name of official business, which would make him completely lose face, so he had to follow slowly.

So on the 24th, Sun Shaozong took Qiu Yunfei in the morgue and spent most of the day, but in the end, except for a pile of vomit and a thick wooden stick such as a door latch, there was nothing to gain.

So much so that Qiu Yunfei was going to make a decision afterwards, Sun Shaozong just wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so he deliberately abused the corpse!

The minutes and seconds passed......

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month.

"Your Excellency!"

Early in the morning, as soon as Sun Shaozong got off the horse at the gate of the mansion, he saw Lin Delu come out in a hurry, and shouted: "Two more died last night!" It was also broken limbs that froze to death, and then threw corpses! ”

Committing a crime again?!

Killed five people in three days!

This murderer is really rampant enough!

Sun Shaozong walked in with a sinking face, and asked, "Where was the body found?" Has it been sent to the morgue? ”

"It's still Dongcheng!"

Lin Delu said, cautiously looking at Sun Shaozong's face, and said, "But it is not within the range you demarcated before. ”

Sun Shaozong didn't react at all, his circle yesterday was originally a rough search range, which can only be said to be the most suspicious place at that time, and it is not certain that the murderer must be within this range.

Lin Delu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The body has been sent over, but it's ......"

"But what?"

"But my lord, you should go back to the Criminal Division first-Liu Zhizhong wants to see you first."

Sun Shaozong's feet suddenly stagnated, and since Liu Chongshan was determined to be promoted, he started to be the shopkeeper, and he said: Let Sun Shaozong be familiar with the burden of governance in advance.

Now he summoned himself suddenly......

"Has this case been spread outside?"

"Not really."

Lin Delu smiled bitterly: "Five people died in three days, and they all died so miserably—you also know that our Shuntianfu has always been unable to hide things, and now it has already spread all over the city." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly added a sycophant: "But the people are not too flustered, they all feel that there are adults here, and they can solve the case as soon as possible!" ”

Tut~

The expectations of the people are both motivation and pressure!
