I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 16 'The Terrible' Governor Yuan (revised in 10.22)

After everyone left, Lu Xizhi quietly went out the back door.

On the way home, Lu Xizhi kept thinking about the connection between the three victims of this serial murder. Zhou Caidie and Sun Cuier had a similar working environment, and had contact with more wealthy businessmen, while the third deceased, Chen Xiuzhu, obviously did not have such conditions. Why would she be the killer's target?

In addition, Xiuzhu's case records just now stated that the body was found in a garbage pond in the east of the city, not far from the place where the No. , Why did she appear there, could it be... the murderer used his identity, pretended to be courteous, cheated her into trust and killed her?
Could it be that the murderer knew three victims at the same time, this possibility...

No, after asking the family members of the three people, they learned that they are ordinary poor women who go to work every day, and the track of getting off work is simple and clear. What's more, Xiuzhu helps her parents in the small shop every day, and there is no suspicious person who has frequent contact with her.

They also have one thing in common. They all wore blue dresses when they died. Obviously, the murderer has a special feeling for blue, and it should be a deep hatred. This is an important breakthrough.

Lu Xizhi also briefly browsed the search of the witnesses around the time of the case, but due to the weather, except for the night of Zhou Cuier's death, Mr. Jiang said that he heard someone pulling something, and he had no clue.And the investigation records of the guests coming and going in the two restaurants are even more pitiful. Just like what Zhao Tutou and Wang Yuanzhi said, under the kingship society, dignitaries and dignitaries think they are superior to others. Faced with such investigations, it is normal for them not to cooperate.

Lu Xizhi looked up at the clear blue sky, closed his eyes and felt the gentle breeze blowing across his cheeks, the scorching sun looked down on the world, the passers-by were shrouded in sunlight, immersed in the warmth, but... those three were like flowers and jade, and their lives started straight, At this moment, he was lying in the morgue cold, and he could no longer enjoy this beauty.

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Xizhi's gaze was as bright as a torch, and justice would never be overshadowed!Do not cooperate?Then I'll let you take the initiative to show up.

gollum...gollum...

what sound?
ah!That's right, it's already past lunch time, and I touched my dry stomach, it turned out that you were calling.

Just right, then go to the listening book building!
Besides, Zhao Xuanwu and Wang Yuanzhi were taken to a luxurious compound in the east of the city.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is luxurious, with red walls and a magnificent main entrance. Two stone lions with huge mouths open are waiting to stare at everyone passing by with eyes as big as copper bells. The yard is spacious and can accommodate almost a hundred people to practice. At that time, there were thirty or forty people in tight-fitting clothes gathered and waiting for orders; a three-story mansion stood tall in front of it, but the whole building was painted with black paint, which was extremely eerie and weird.

I heard that there is also a military weapon department in the East Factory building, which specializes in designing all kinds of new types of murderous weapons, and even uses death row prisoners for experiments. The underground torture room here is even bigger than the prison in Dali Temple. All the people in the city have gone and never returned, and no one can get out of the hell of Dongchang.

In order to deal with dissidents, Dongchang not only selected elite guards from the imperial army, but also spent a lot of money to recruit a group of fierce dead soldiers from all over the country, forming a red-belt and black-flag team to conduct strict training in secret, and specially executed imperial officials secretly.

Once in the remote Zhangzhou, a few officers and soldiers got drunk, vented their long-simmering resentment, and scolded Governor Yuan severely. When others heard it, they hurriedly stopped: Brother, be careful what you say.Unexpectedly, the man laughed loudly: Are you scared out of your wits by the dog whose fur hasn't grown yet?In such a remote place, can there still be Dongchang dogs?As soon as the words were finished, there was a bang, the door was kicked open, and several Dongchang guards rushed in, killing several people with one stab.

This is Dongchang, the most "arrogant and domineering" emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, who has clairvoyant eyes and smooth ears.

I don't know if it was too hot, Zhao Xuanwu kept wiping the sweat dripping from his forehead, he squinted at Wang Yuanzhi who came with him, he was surprised at his calmness and composure.

"Zhao Butou, are you sweating or are you wearing too thick clothes?" The Eastern guard who led the way looked back and smiled.

Zhao Xuanwu laughed awkwardly: "Guard Dong is really good at joking, I'm afraid of heat."

"Then you take two steps quickly, the room is cool." He said and walked towards the small black building without looking back.

Wang Yuanzhi entered the building one step ahead of Zhao Xuanwu, Zhao Xuanwu gritted his teeth, whether it was a blessing or a curse, if it was a disaster, he couldn't avoid it, he shook his sleeves and followed.

On the first seat in the main hall, sat a man in red at his desk. His whole body was more than half the height of the table, which showed how tall this man was; it was rumored that Governor Yuan liked to wear red clothes, and it was even rumored that it was because he liked to kill people. The color of the red clothes is the best match; he wears a purple gold crown with hair inlaid on his head, rests his forehead with his right hand, and flips through the files with his left hand, so that people can't see his face clearly, but his high nose bridge and two sword eyebrows are like sharp knives. , this person must be handsome.It's no wonder that even though Dongchang's reputation is extremely bad, some official ladies still sigh: Yuan Lang's smile confuses the capital.But Zhao Xuanwu looked at him like a red-clothed Shura who came from hell and held a sharp sword.

"Have Zhao Butou seen enough?" A masculine and magnetic voice came, and the people in the seat still lowered their heads, but these words were enough to make people sweat.

"The villain doesn't dare!" Zhao Xuanwu was shocked, and quickly knelt down on one knee, bowing his hands in greeting.

"Within ten days, there were three murders in a row. I must have known why I came to you."

Zhao Xuanwu's voice was a little trembling, "The villain is not doing his job well, and the case is beginning to emerge. Please give Governor Yuan a few more days."

"Are there any omissions in Wang Yu's autopsy records?"

"I don't know which aspect Governor Yuan is referring to?" Although Wang Yuanzhi was kneeling on the ground, he still looked at the seat openly.

"It is written in the records that all the deceased died of choking and suffocation. When the murderer committed the crime, the force was so great that the hyoid bone of the deceased was broken and the mandible was detached. Are those who have such strength a martial arts practitioner?"

"Based on experience, there is a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and women's bones are weaker than men's, so ordinary men may also break their bones in extreme anger."

"Oh? Is Wang Yu sure?"

"Of course we can't be certain based on this alone, but the cut on the deceased's hind foot was not caused by a one-time cut, but a large amount of blood loss caused by repeated strokes back and forth several times. If you are a martial arts practitioner, you can definitely end it with one cut. "

The lord fell silent, as if he was thinking about Wang Yuanzhi's words.

The only sound left in the hall was the sound of paper rising and falling, after a quarter of an hour.

"Why are there so few case records? After ten days, no witnesses have been found. Although there are many people in the restaurant, there will always be one or two regular customers who can follow up and ask. Why is there no mention of it?"

"This..." Zhao Xuanwu hesitated.

"Master Zhao's question, please explain it in the same way." The guard Dong reminded.

"The villain did find a few suspicious people in Hongshun Building and Lingshu Building, but...they..."

"Who is it?" Governor Yuan's voice carried a cold order.

Zhao Xuanwu didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and said in one breath: "Chang Renxin, the grandson of Chang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Fan Ming, the prince of Xuanping Marquis, and Wei Buyi, the prince of Yunxiang Marquis."

Oh, it's really hard to check...

Boom, boom, boom... The sound of fingers tapping on the table echoed in the hall.

"What evidence is there?"

"They often go in and out of these two places together, and the most frequently ordered private rooms are Zhou Caidie and Sun Cuier, who are the No. 2 deceased in this case. And...and..." Zhao Xuanwu broke out in a cold sweat.

"Say!"

"Furthermore, the waiter and shopkeeper all reported that the three of them were fond of women, and they often messed with the maids. They dared not speak out when they were angry, and several of them quit their jobs."

"Lust? Heh, they must not be the only diners who are lustful. Based on this alone, Zhao Butou is really disappointing." The factory owner's voice could not hear any emotion.

"According to the memories of the two store staff, on the day of the incident, Zhou Caidie and Sun Cuier were the last guests served at the table, and they were killed afterward."

Boom, boom, boom... still seems to be waiting for an answer.

Zhao Xuanwu went on to say: "The villain once took people to the three residences to inquire, but he didn't even enter the door."

"Hmph, of course you can't get in." Director Yuan sneered.

There was another silence, Zhao Xuanwu didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Donghai, give him the token."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xuanwu was shocked. You must know that the token of Dongchang is a special authority given to Dongchang by the emperor. Anyone who arouses Dongchang's suspicion can hold the token for interrogation.

"Governor Yuan, this..."

"What? Don't dare to answer?" The sneer came again.

"No, no, it's just over at Dali Temple..." Zhao Xuanwu hurriedly lowered his head, and took the token with both hands in fear.

"That's not your business. I'll give you three more days after you get the token. If you can't find the murderer, come and see me!"

"Yes!"
