After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 330 Inference
Zhao Shun nodded to Gao Sheng, and then strode into the door.

"Although I am the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I have only been an official for a short time after all. I have only read many things in the files. Naturally, I have to personally experience the answers that are harmful to others."

Gao Sheng applauded in his heart, there are not many officials like Zhao Shun this year, most of them work hard to climb up, and when they reach the position they want, they slack off.

But Zhao Shun is still learning and forging ahead, Gao Sheng thinks that maybe the Minister of Punishment is just a stranded place for Zhao Shun.

One day he will turn into the deep sea.

When he came to the dry well, Zhao Shun saw wooden frames standing beside the dry well, some of which had put corpses on them and covered them with white cloth.

One of the corpses was not covered properly, and the blue and black fingers of the corpse were left outside the white cloth.

Zhao Shun walked closer and took a look. The woman's fingers were broken and she suffered a lot of torture.

Anger erupted in Zhao Shun's heart. He stood up slowly and asked, "I see that Mr. Gao described in the file that there are a total of more than a dozen victims. Why is the number not clear?"

Gao Sheng obviously stayed in this unowned house for a long time, fine shards of ice condensed on his brow.

When Gao Sheng sighed, his white eyebrows made him look very sad.

"Lord Zhao, there is some mud in this dry well, and several corpses are stuck in the mud. The lower officials cannot confirm the real death toll. Maybe there are still corpses under the mud."

More than a dozen corpses is obviously a conservative figure, and the dry well here might be a long-term place to dump corpses.

Zhao Shun nodded with a heavy heart, and asked again: "In the capital where every inch of land is precious, there is no owner for such a big house?"

Gao Sheng cupped his hands, "The lower official ordered someone to go to the household department to check. The owner of this house is named Xia Hongtu. He was in the capital's cloth business. He was hunted down by his enemies a few years ago, so this house became a The haunted house has remained vacant."

Through Gao Sheng's mouth, Zhao Shun learned about the past of this house. Who would have thought that in a haunted house that everyone shunned, someone would actually do such heinous things in it.

Zhao Shun stretched out his hand to remove the white cloth from the corpse's face, and looked at each of them. Some of them had turned black, but most of them were not rotten.

Most of the corpses salvaged from the well died not long ago, and the winter in Beijing was extremely cold this year, so these corpses were well preserved and their faces were clearly visible.

"Master Gao, is there a way to confirm the identities of these dead?"

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Gao Sheng said with a headache.

"Why is this? The dead face is clearly identifiable. If you draw it and paste it in the city, someone will recognize it."

Zhao Shun was deeply puzzled. Most of the files he had read were handled in this way.

Gao Sheng smiled wryly and cupped his hands, "Your Excellency, you don't know, the death time of these dead people ranged from one day to 20 days, but during these 20 days, no one reported a case of missing persons to Gyeonggi Province, which shows that This perpetrator is extremely cunning, and his chosen targets are also carefully selected."

While the two were talking, the assistant from Gyeonggi Province inspected every corpse.

"My lords, the causes of these young women's deaths are different. Some were strangled, some were strangled, and some were beaten to death. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they were raped before they died."

As soon as Wu Zuo finished speaking, Zhao Shun remembered that he had seen a similar situation in a serial murder case.

"Everyone who rapes and murders is moody, cunning like a fox, alone, and withdrawn."

Although Zhao Shun has no experience in personally handling murder cases, he has learned a lot from many cases. It is not good to apply mechanically, but there is some direction.

"Master Gao, I think the perpetrator's family background is quite good, you can check who has relevant criminal records."

Gao Sheng glanced at Zhao Shun in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "How did Mr. Zhao come to such a conclusion?"

"Master Song, who mentioned some punishments and prisons in the previous dynasty, said in "Washing Injustice Records" that only those who have no material suffering can be spiritually satisfied, and only when their status and money reach a certain level can they be satisfied. Challenging the law and humanity."

After listening to Zhao Shun's words, Gao Sheng couldn't help admiring him. He had read this book before, but after reading it, he forgot. It must have been hard work for Zhao Shun to apply it casually like Zhao Shun.

"Understood, the next official will investigate those people who agree with this feature, and at the same time try to find a way to identify the identity of the dead."

"Ah."

Zhao Shun nodded and continued to check the injuries of the dead.

Most of these dead were naked, but Zhao Shun didn't dare to profane, and turned over the corpses in awe.

"Ok?"

After Zhao Shun checked several corpses, he found a tattoo of a dead leaf butterfly on a woman's arm.

This dead leaf butterfly made Zhao Shun's memory surge like an electric shock, thinking of a case from years ago.

"Master Gao, do you still remember that there was an unsolved murder case years ago?"

Gao Sheng paused, flashing memories in his mind.

"Master Zhao is talking about the Hongyilou case?"

"good."

On a snowy morning a year ago, someone found a frozen corpse near Tianque Tower.

The one who died was a woman, whose head was severely hit from behind with a stick, but the assailant did not kill her directly, but moved her to a remote place, where the snow was blowing and the extreme cold was alive. froze her to death.

After the government posted the portrait, it was recognized by a prostitute in Hongyilou.

But the night before the incident, menstruation happened, and he was resting in the house, but suddenly died on the street.

After investigation by Gyeonggi Province, this prostitute named 'Chun Ni' had no enemies, was cowardly and died for no apparent reason.

There is no enemy, no motive for the crime, and no witnesses, so the case has not ended until today.

The two cases seemed unrelated, but Zhao Shun clearly remembered that in the autopsy report written by Wu, it was written that there was a dead leaf butterfly on Chunni's right arm.

And the dead in front of him had a dead leaf butterfly on his right arm, Zhao Shun didn't believe it was a coincidence.

"There is also a dead leaf butterfly on this dead arm. Ask the people from Hongyilou to come and see if it is a girl from their building."

After Zhao Shun's reminder, Gao Sheng suddenly remembered this matter.

"Hurry up, go to Hongyi Building and call the old lady who is in charge!"

After Gao Sheng gave an order, the police rushed to Hongyi Building and 'invited' the old bustard, Madam Wang, into the deserted house.

Looking at the corpse in the middle of the night, Ms. Wang refused in her heart. The incident of identifying the corpse last time was still vivid in her memory, and she was so scared that she didn't sleep well at night for more than a month.

Ms. Wang looked at the two arresters beside her, and said in a pleading tone: "I said to the officials, even if you want to identify the corpse, you should wait until tomorrow morning. My old lady was scared to death in the middle of the night, but what to do?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Gao and Mr. Minister of the Ministry of Justice are waiting there. They are second-rank officials in the capital. Can you take care of them?" The policeman ruthlessly shattered Wang Mama's illusion.
