Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 155 155 Gecko cuts off its tail and fights back before death

"Infinite Life Buddha. I don't know what this little donor is talking about."

"Pindao has been sleeping in the house before and has never been out at all."

However, facing Zhu Congxin's accusation, the Taoist priest still looked calm.

"Sleeping like this? There is so much noise in the city, can't you hear it?"

Zhu Congxin asked again.

"Of course I can. But if Pindao has to go to work tomorrow and stays up late, I'm afraid he won't have the energy to work tomorrow. And if he doesn't get the job, Pindao will have to go hungry. Pindao doesn't want to go hungry."

The Taoist priest still looked calm.

To put it bluntly, it’s actually just eight words: it’s none of your business and you just ignore it.

No matter in which era, when a person can't even afford food, his concept of good and evil will become blurred.

"Your Highness! He's dead! The murderer is dead!"

And just when Zhu Congxin was speechless, Xia Lipin's voice finally came out from the well.

"died?"

"How could you die?"

"Where did he die?"

"How did you die?"

"Are there any other victims?"

Zhu Congxin quickly asked a series of questions.

"I still don't know the specific situation! He's stuck in the waterway! It's difficult for me to pull him out with my own strength!"

Xia Lipin said while suppressing his nausea.

"Everyone who knows how to swim, get down! Find some stronger ropes!"

Zhu Congxin suddenly ordered.

Not long after, Xia Lipin and a narrow boat were lifted out of the well with the help of everyone.

There were two more bodies in the boat.

One male and one female.

The woman has been dead for a long time. She is wearing a pink gauze dress and looks like a human puppet.

The man, on the other hand, had his eyes wide open with anger, as if he was determined to die.

"My little master, it's exactly what you said! The murderer tied the body to his back, and then used the boat to hold his breath and escape into the West Lake! I didn't expect that he would drown in the waterway! This is really God's foresight! "

After taking a look at the situation in the boat, Su He said excitedly.

As he spoke, others hurriedly echoed: "Yes! Your Highness! You are really wise and powerful! You can see through the murderer's tricks at a glance, which is like a living genius."

For a moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten about the fire to the south.

But Zhu Congxin did not forget it.

Not only did he not show any pride, he even couldn't help but look solemnly at the fire in the south: "Shut up! How can such a coincidence happen in this world? Nothing happened seven times before, but something happened at this time. ?How could the murderer, such a smart person, make such a stupid mistake?"

The scene froze for an instant.

"Then your Highness means that there is something fishy about this matter? Could it be that this person has an accomplice secretly?"

An official couldn't help but said in shock.

He actually wanted to close the case.

But if he really does this, once the murderer goes to commit crimes elsewhere, he may be in danger.

Therefore, after much thought, he finally resisted the urge to close the case forcefully.Anyway, killing a criminal is considered a political achievement.

I don't think the superiors would blame him for not catching the other prisoner.

"Accomplice? I think he was instigating it. The person who allowed this guy to die in the waterway was considered deliberate. Do any of you recognize this person? This person should be a local from Hangzhou! Call a few more people Come and identify him! Especially the family members of the deceased! They must know something."

Zhu Congxin checked the bottom of the boat and smiled coldly.

The fact was just as he expected.

When the family members of the female corpse arrived, they instantly recognized this person as the owner of the corner table and chair shop.

After detailed interrogation, Zhu Congxin discovered another fact.

That is the so-called theory that the victim customized her own wedding dress, which is simply the act of the murderer Li Daitao.

To put it simply, it is to find a few women from other places to pretend to be victims and order wedding dresses.

Anyway, the owner of the clothing store did not recognize the victims, and the interrogation skills of the officials were even more worrying.

So after going back and forth, the sentence "A few days ago, a woman who called herself Miss XX came to the store and ordered a weird-colored wedding dress" became "The wedding dress was ordered by the deceased before his death." Pick".

It sounds ridiculous, but it is within everyone's expectations.

Especially those officials.

Because they really know the virtues of their subordinates.

As for Xia Lipin.

Although he had doubted this, he never expected it to be such a fact.

So in the final analysis, he was still a little negligent.

"I never expected that the murderer would be so cunning! He actually thought of misleading our investigation early on! If we could have figured this out earlier, we wouldn't be like headless flies, wandering around blindly. "

"Yes! I was just wondering how could those deceased people be so stupid as to order such evil wedding dresses? It turns out that the murderer was misleading us!"

"It seems that the deceased in front of me is not the real murderer."

"Yes! There is no way that a cunning murderer could have made such a fatal and stupid mistake and was actually killed by his own boat! This is so false! The murderer must have wanted to use this person's death as a diversion Everyone’s sight, so as to achieve the purpose of escaping to heaven.”

"But this way, the clues seem to have been cut off! I have just sent someone to check. Although this person has settled in Hangzhou for many years, he has been alone. Not only does he have no children, he also has no friends. And he has not been seen recently. More so than anyone else. The murderer's caution is really outrageous."

"Alas! It's all these useless losers! If they hadn't dozed off while on duty just now, this man wouldn't have died!"

Everyone couldn't help but talk about it.

Apart from lamenting the real murderer's superb method and rigorous logic, there was no constructive speech.

However, just when the case was about to come to an end, Zhu Congxin, who was observing the deceased, suddenly noticed the bottom of the boat.

"labor?"

"Could it be a clue left by the deceased?"

Following Zhu Congxin's gaze, Xia Lipin quickly noticed the missing point.

It was a text picked out with five fingers.

Although it has been somewhat blurred due to the immersion in the lake water, the traces of the font can still be barely distinguished.

"Check for me how many people named Lao there are in Hangzhou!"

"If necessary! Immediately arrest them all! I will interrogate them one by one!"

Zhu Congxin hurriedly said excitedly.

Upon hearing this order, the already discouraged people quickly agreed and dispersed.

Then, a group of people named Lao were escorted to Zhu Congxin's hall.
