Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 178 What is the motive
"Master Zhao, Master Jiang. The corpse has already been made." Jiang Wenyuan saw that the job of the criminal department's assistant was really free.

From time to time, the officials in Anqing Mansion would come across corpses whose cause of death was difficult to determine. For the purpose of investigating the case, they would occasionally need to disembowel and disembowel to expose the internal organs for examination.

When Jiang Wenyuan first arrived, in order to adapt to the new position as soon as possible, he also worked hard to sort out the inextricable interpersonal relationships here, and became familiar with the cooperation methods between various officers, including the office of course.

When he was surprised to find that some of these gangsters had worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for most of their lives, seeing that they couldn't even walk steadily, and they didn't even have the experience of a laparotomy, he was completely drunk.

The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate are the highest-level law enforcement departments in the Zhou Dynasty. The so-called joint trial of the three divisions is usually conducted by personnel sent by these three departments.

The main responsibility of the Ministry of Punishment is to approve various laws, submit to the emperor to amend them, review major criminal cases submitted by various places, and re-examine or re-examine cases involving the death penalty. The Ministry of Punishment has the right to directly take over the cases that are punished by the capital. reject.

In such an important department, how can you be so idle?Jiang Wenyuan was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, most of the cases that were sent for re-examination would go through a formality and be sent back to the local authorities after directly agreeing, while a few cases with obvious mistakes and omissions would be sent back for re-examination.

It is directly used for retrial by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, unless it is a major unjust, false or wrong case, or the immediate boss, the emperor Laoer, speaks.

Under such circumstances, the clerks here may not see as many dead people as the small clerks in other places. Naturally, they can't count on the work in their hands.

No, the postcard sent here is only two pages long, which is due to their limited literary literacy and the large characters they write.

The deceased was a bit strange. The two corpses, a man and a woman, were both in their teens, but the third corpse was an old eunuch in his sixties.

All three were also bloodletted, and died of excessive blood loss.The woman's hair is neatly combed, in a common bun.

Um?This is strange.Has the murderer's target changed?

After the arrangement of finding the source of the corpse, Jiang Wenyuan was very sleepy, and as he got older, he couldn't stay up all night. You can see that Zhao Dongzhang was still alive and kicking all night, and he couldn't accept his old age.

Zhao Dongxuan was very loyal and asked Jiang Wenyuan to go back to the house to catch up on sleep. Anyway, there will be no new clues for a while, and he has to watch Chen Di go. It is impossible to rest. There is no need for both of them here. boil.

After Jiang Wenyuan said some polite words, he got into the sedan chair, and before he returned home, there was already a slight snoring sound, and he didn't even wake up when the servant carried him to bed, obviously he was very tired.

Since he came to Beijing, he has been busy. He just went out for a trip to Anqing, and he didn't have time to rest when he came back. He picked up another hot potato, and a string was always taut.

Woke up early to say hello, Jiang Jiuying was a little surprised that he hadn't seen his father, obviously Jikyo said that his father came back yesterday.

"Your father was called away in the middle of the night. I don't know what case happened outside. Alas, this promotion is good, but I am too busy." Jiang Wenyuan slept in the dark in the study outside, and Ning warmed wolfberry and longan porridge in the small kitchen , When he wakes up, he can drink a bowl to nourish his stomach.

"Mother, what case happened outside?" Jiang Jiuying's boudoir is boring!Only a few days after I came back, I began to miss the good time when I went back to my grandfather's house. Every day I sat on a black boat and wandered among the mountains and rivers.

Now I can only be detained in this small courtyard, alas!
It's good to be able to listen to the outside world and participate in solving the case~
"Then you have to ask your father. You said that you are a girl, and you are not afraid at all when you hear that someone died outside. Could it be that I was born with the wrong gender, and you should be a boy."

"Oh? What do you want to ask Daddy?" Jiang Wenyuan's biological clock is fairly regular. After sleeping for an hour, he wakes up again. If he sleeps again, he will have a headache, and he can't let go of the work at hand. He simply came to Ning's courtyard and ate This is not an early morning meal.

"Father, I heard that there was a crime outside? You have to go out in the middle of the night. Is it a big case?" In the capital, how exciting would it be to dig a doctor from the criminal department out of the bed in the middle of the night?

Killing one person in ten steps, a black-clothed assassin who never stays behind for thousands of miles?Like Zhao Dongli, Fei Mo's skill?Jiang Jiuying has seen him pluck a green onion in dry land and fly straight to the top of a tree, which completely violates the principles of physics.It is not difficult to take a head without a sound.

Or someone rebelled?They are all descendants of dragons and phoenixes, but there is only one dragon chair. Those who did not sit on it are more or less reconciled and want to rebel and change to be the emperor?Tangled with a group of noble generals who were dazzled by Cong Longzhigong, they went straight to the palace?

Even more outrageous, the more you have enmity with someone, the more you think about it, the more angry you become, and finally take advantage of the dark moon and the high wind to kill people, climb over the wall with a knife and fall, destroying people all over the house, even the big yellow dog who doesn't like to bark on the leash Pass?
Beijing!Some major cases have to be made to be worthy of the dignity of a country's capital city.

Fortunately, Jiang Wenyuan didn't know what was going on in his daughter's little head, otherwise a horrifying blow would definitely hit her on the head, don't even think about being rude!
"Something happened, and three people died." Jiang Wenyuan chatted with his daughter about the case while drinking porridge.

I heard that three people have been killed in spring every year for the past three years, and the method of crime is to drain the blood of the victims uniformly, Jiang Jiuying became interested.

"Father, but what customs are there at this time? Can this human blood cure diseases or exorcise demons?" Throughout the ages, blood seems to be covered with mysterious powers, especially human blood.

Whether it is some mental patients or fake monks and Taoists, they seem to be extremely obsessed with the use of human blood. They either get them to drink for themselves, or they get them to do certain rituals that are obviously fake at first glance, pretending to be ghosts, I don’t know To lie to oneself or to lie to ghosts and gods.

They firmly believe that the blood of a clean and healthy person is also clean and has the power of purification. On the contrary, if a person is too evil or seriously ill, his blood must also be unclean. Correct evil and return to righteousness, or all diseases will disappear.

But Jiang Jiuying is 14 years old, but he has never heard of such a custom in Anqing before. In the land of China where traditional Chinese medicine is prevalent, it is possible that there are still people who are ignorant and ignorant. Like the medieval Western society, they firmly believe that bloodletting can cure all diseases. Is it the absurd statement that medicine can be refined?

Those patients who bled to death in the Middle Ages expressed their desire to scold their mothers.

"I haven't heard of it for my father, but this can be regarded as a direction of investigation." Why did the murderer kill these people? The Ministry of Criminal Justice has not found out for three years. Jiang Wenyuan felt that the method of bloodletting must be very important to the murderer.
