Demon detective

Chapter 73
"It's okay, it's okay." After listening to Xu Zhen's story, Shen Mingchen waved his hands indifferently, "As long as that girl doesn't lie, it's fine. We in Yanping County haven't been out of Dongyou Sanren for many years. I'm afraid she will lie to me."

Really... really all right?

Your girl has lived in my house for several days, you don't worry about your daughter's reputation, but you care about Dongyou Sanren?
"Miss Shen is so righteous," Xu Zhen quickly praised, "Without her help, Xu would have been killed by those scattered people from Dongyou long ago!"

"You really have to be careful," Shen Mingchen instructed, "It is definitely not ordinary people who can hire Dongyou Sanren. You have to think about it. Who are you offending?"

"Thank you for the old head catcher's reminder," Xu Zhen could only shift his target, "I am a small catcher, what kind of big shots can I provoke? I guess it was Qiu Batian and his gang who did it?"

"Oh... that's right, that's right..." Shen Mingchen said, "One attempt, I'm afraid there will be a next time. If that's the case, let Xiaoyu follow you in the next few days!"

"Yes, thank you, old catcher!" Xu Zhen said thanks, but he couldn't help wondering in his heart, is this old man suspected of throwing his burden?
Because Shen Mingchen knew the situation back then, Xu Zhen temporarily changed his mind and invited Mr. Shen into the room for a detailed discussion, asking him to talk about the case of the ghost-faced killer and the situation of Qi Dalang's family in detail.

Mr. Shen is an important person involved in the headhunter, and it is much better for him to tell the story himself than to read the file.

"...within three months, six girls died," Shen Mingchen said. "The murderer's methods are cruel. After rape and murder, he also ruined the girls' appearance... So, we first called him the face-destroying killer, but Then it changed..."

At the beginning, Shen Mingchen's narration was similar to Chen Houlu's, but later on, it was more detailed than Chen Houlu's.

"...the murderer only targets young women," Shen Mingchen said, "most of them are slender, brightly dressed, and good-looking...

"...The murderers all start at night, first kidnap and kill people, and then throw the corpses in the garbage dump in the quiet alley. As long as there are villagers taking out the garbage in the morning, the corpses will definitely be found!

"The corpse is also naked...

"On the day when the first three cases occurred, there was a lantern fair in the county. All three victims disappeared from the lantern fair. This shows that the murderer was looking for a target there. This also indirectly shows that the murderer was a random victim...

"In addition, regarding the location of the murderer's murder, we suspect that it should not be too far from the place where the body was dumped. After all, it is not convenient to carry a dead body in the middle of the night...

"Six cases, six locations where the corpses were dumped, but the locations of the six corpses are far apart and irregular. Only four of them are a little closer to Workshop Street, so Tong County Magistrate chose Qi Dalang as the scapegoat...

"Back then, the case came in a hurry, and we didn't react until three girls died. We quickly canceled the lantern festival and temple fair, and imposed a curfew.

"As a result, the murderer was silent for more than a month, but for some unknown reason, he shot again in the third month.

"But this time, his killings became even more frenzied, and he killed three more in just a few days. Even though we stepped up our guard and patrolled around the clock, we couldn't stop it...

"There is no doubt that the murderer must have a knack for it, because the daughter of Wanyuan's family was taken away in his own home, and the next day her body was thrown into the rubbish dump...

"Oh, I'm really ashamed to say it," Shen Mingchen sighed, "This old man has encountered countless cases in his life, but he has never seen such a difficult case.

"The murderer killed people so frequently, but in the end, we didn't even know what the murderer looked like, and we didn't even have a single witness.

"Perhaps, it's not an exaggeration to call him a 'ghost'-faced killer!"

yes……

Hearing Shen Mingchen's narration, Xu Zhen also silently profiled the crime in his heart.

Judging from the murderer's behavior, this person has a tyrannical personality and a twisted mind. It is very likely that he has been stimulated and suffers from some kind of mental illness.

Judging from my own experience, such a violent and insolent person is generally not too thoughtful, leaving no flaws, which is indeed a bit abnormal.

However, after all, this is not the modern era where cameras are everywhere, and it seems to make sense that there are no flaws left. For example: the murderer was too lucky?
In addition, there is another point that the murderer disfigured the body and then threw it into the garbage dump. This behavior shows that the murderer has extreme resentment towards the deceased. He should have been hurt by a similar beautiful girl.

From this point of view, the murderer should have been young back then, about the same appearance as Qi Dalang.

Young, not weak in martial arts, and was hurt by a girl, such a person...

"Qi Dalang is demented, he can't even walk smoothly," Shen Mingchen emphasized again, "With him, how could it be possible for him to climb over the courtyard wall of Wan Yuanwai's house and take Wan Yuanwai's daughter away?"

"This ten-thousand member..." Xu Zhen asked, "Why haven't I heard of it? Back then, did he really believe that Qi Dalang was the murderer?"

"I don't know," Shen Mingchen said, "Wan Yuanwai used to be the richest man in our Yanping County, and he had a lot of connections with him, but no matter how many connections he had, he couldn't resist the four bullies, and in the end he was squeezed out by Qiu Batian. ! If you don't leave, Wan Guan's family wealth will be lost..."

Oh……

Xu Zhen was a little disappointed, because he wanted to know something about this Wanyuanwai.

"Boss Shen," Xu Zhen thought for a while, then asked, "After the ghost-faced killer case, has there been any similar cases in nearby counties?"

"No, hi? Xu Zhen..." Unexpectedly, Shen Mingchen's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said excitedly, "Your brain is indeed good. It seems that what Xiaoyu said is true. You can think of this so quickly. layer!"

"Then..." Xu Zhen blinked, which meant to ask, don't just praise me, but give the answer.

"At that time, although I said that I would not be ill, I secretly did not stop the investigation," Shen Mingchen said, "I personally went to the surrounding counties and counties, as well as our Songzhou government to inquire, and all the answers I got were negative.

"During that period, only our Yanping County had a ghost-faced killer case!"

Oh……

Xu Zhen nodded silently, but quickly started to analyze in his mind.

"It seems that we have come up with something," Shen Mingchen stroked his beard and said, "Although the past 13 years have been peaceful and there has been no such case, I always feel that the real ghost-faced killer is still in Yanping!"

Geek!

Xu Zhenxin thumped in his heart, and suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement.

One is that Shen Mingchen guessed his own mind;
As for the other one, he felt that the monk, Qi Dalang's younger brother Qi Yunzheng, should feel the same way.

Do not!
Maybe... that's not how it feels.

Since Qi Yun is not hesitating to put himself in danger and ask Song Zhili to arrest him, could it be that... he already knew that the real ghost-faced killer was in Yanping County and had never left?
Then this person... who could it be?
