Chapter 15 Four Old Cases
"My lord, according to the report from Hexi Prefecture, the person who died this time was also stabbed several times and bled to death. He was also related to Xiao Ji. My lord had ordered me to re-engrave the pattern of the dagger with the pattern of the previous few. The wounds on the body of the deceased were widely distributed to the counties and counties under the Anqing Mansion to find clues."

"After the deceased was discovered in Hexi Prefecture this morning, the inspection by Wu found that the scars on his body were exactly the same as the replica in the official document issued by the government, so he sent someone to report urgently."

"When was the deceased murdered?"

"About the night before yesterday."

The deceased in Fucheng died four days ago, and the dagger has been lying in the flowers of Guanyue Tower for more than three days. How is this possible?

Jiang Wenyuan suppressed his doubts and asked Yang Jianye to call for a few people. He had to go to Hexi Prefecture to see for himself.

The group of people acted resolutely and left as soon as they said, which aroused Jiang Jiuying's interest.

Judging from their conversation just now, could it be that there were serial murders in ancient times?

Should the ancients be so tough?
You must know that different social moral standards, different economic bases, and other factors will restrict the emergence of serial murderers.

Even until Jiang Jiuying was assigned to work in the bureau in his previous life, many colleagues believed that serial murderers were only produced by the degenerate economic system in the West.

Most ordinary people in ancient times lived like dogs. They were busy every day just to eat and wear clothes. Even survival was a problem.

Unless you really can't survive, how can you have the leisure to go out and kill people.

But the rich and powerful are different.Often they only need to move their mouths, and naturally someone is willing to share their worries.Or do it a little more covertly, and use some means to make good people voluntarily sell themselves into lowly status, and then they will be killed. Employers killing slaves and maidservants are only fined according to the law, and it doesn't hurt or hurt.

Human life has always been valuable and unequal. This is still the case in a society ruled by law a thousand years later, and it will only be worse in a feudal society a thousand years ago.

this is the truth.

So there was no real breeding ground for serial killers in ancient times.Those non-technical extermination cases are not counted. There is usually an obvious love-hate relationship between the murderer and the deceased, and it can be found out with a little research. It is only a matter of time before people are caught.

Serial killers must be concealed and continuous. From the motive of killing to the way of killing, they are all full of ritual, which is rare in reality.

Jiang Jiuying put down the half-read book and walked to Jiang Wenyuan's case with unfinished snacks.

Dad left in a hurry, and before the files he was looking at had time to take back, Jiang Jiuying found four files according to the marks.

Time went back more than a month.

More than a month ago, Xu Mao, the magistrate of Suzhou, lost countless gray hairs overnight.

The day of the official evaluation is approaching, Suzhou Haiqing Heyan, if there is no accident, you will definitely get an excellent, if you have been rated as excellent for three consecutive years, the future career situation will be very good, how can you make people unhappy.

Before he could make up his mind whether to wait for the judges to come, whether he should take a shower or serve him, or give him some pictures of Huang Chengcheng's souvenirs, someone came to make trouble for him.

A murder case occurred in Xiaoguozhuang, the deceased was an honest couple.The scene was extremely bloody and horrible. The fetus in the dead woman's belly slipped out of the body along the wound on the mother's stomach.

The small human figure was wrapped in the fetal membranes, and it had already lost its life. Even the policeman who was used to watching the murder scene couldn't help the stomach churning, turned around and went out to vomit.

These are real three lives!

The official of the state-level criminal prison suffered a sudden illness not long ago and died in office. The new one has not yet taken office. Xu Zhizhou had to take people there in person to try to solve the case as soon as possible, so as not to affect his evaluation and promotion.

But it backfired.

Among the husband and wife of the deceased Wang Dazhi, his wife, Guo Shi, was from the village. Because she was the only daughter in the family, she couldn't bear her parents being left alone after marriage, and she had always determined to recruit a son-in-law.

It's a pity that Ms. Guo's appearance is ordinary, and her family has no wealth. She dragged on until she was 19 years old. She was a real leftover woman in this era, and she married the poor Wang Dazhi, a hunter in the mountains.

Wang Dazhi is in his early thirties, tall and thick, and his ancestors have lived in Baihu Mountain, fifty miles east of Suzhou City, for generations.

Orion is the most unpopular origin. They are no better than tenant farmers, with no fixed residence, unstable income, and extremely dangerous.

As long as they are not too poor, no one wants to seek life in the depths of the mountains where they don't see a new face all year round.

Wang Dazhi said that his family was too poor, he had three brothers, and he was the second child, so he wanted to go out of the mountains to find a place where he could eat enough to live a normal life.It was only then that Guo Shi fell in love with her and took her home.

After the two got married, they lived next to their parents, separated by a hospital, which was convenient for taking care of, and it could also make Wang Dazhi less discriminated against, which is considered Guo's intention.

On the day of the crime, it was feeding time, and before the young couple next door delivered food to their parents, Father Guo came to pick it up by himself.In the end, he didn't see the food, but he saw the girl and uncle who was already lying in a pool of blood. The old man was so frightened that he fell and hurt his head when he ran away, and developed a high fever.

Because this branch of the old Guo's family has not had many children, and is slightly distant from other people in the village, in this generation, even a son has not been born.

The Guo family has no sense of existence in the village. They are submissive and will not fight back when they are bullied.

Xu Zhizhou sent people to interrogate the villagers several times without giving up, and there was nothing suspicious, so he went to Wang Dazhi's hometown again.

But Orion has no fixed place to live and can move at any time in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Baihu Mountain covers a large area, and there are many wild animals in it.

The case was shelved.

There is no one in Guojia Village who has a relationship with the government, and the old Guo family has no one who can stand up for them. If there is no accident, such a murder case will probably be thrown into the pile of old papers and no one cares about it.

Unexpectedly, after only three days, an accident happened.

The second murder struck, and the victim was Zhou Bingzheng, the biggest landlord of Fanjiaji.Outside the city of Suzhou, there are large tracts of fertile land all surnamed Zhou, which is nothing, the terrible thing is that the uncle of this landowner is an official in the capital, a member of the Ministry of Officials, Wai Lang.

Everyone understands the reason why the King of Hell is better than a little ghost. At a critical moment, someone's slanderous words are enough to deceive people to death.

Zheng Zhizhou also wanted to catch the murderer for the sake of the black yarn on top of him.

However, after careful investigation, everyone had a good opinion of Zhou Bingzheng's character, he didn't increase the rent indiscriminately, and he didn't bully others. Although he was a bit lecherous, the aunt he brought home was his own wish, and outsiders really didn't care.

He died on the way home after drinking the flower wine. The murderer seemed to have fallen from the sky. Before the two servants who followed him and the bearer who carried the sedan chair could react, the other party had already cleanly entered with white knives and exited with red knives. After killing Zhou Bingzheng , ran away without a trace.
