The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 226 is like looking for a needle in a haystack (first update)
Xu Jing looked at Zhao Jingan quietly, not surprised by this incident.

The two coerced students had sufficient motive for the murder, and had also appeared near the crime scene that day. There was no one more likely to be a suspect than them.

Zhao Jing'an continued: "They...are Ding Lian, who is also a student from outside the dormitory, and Wei Zian, who is a student from the inner dormitory. They are both students from poor families, and they were selected from the county school because of their excellent grades.

It was Ding Lian who was coerced into having a tryst with Zhang Zhengbo. After Zhang Zhengbo died, he was arrested. Originally, Dali Temple thought that he was the murderer and the case was about to be closed. Unexpectedly, Cai Yuanlang also died at this time, and his death was peaceful. Zhang Zhengbo was almost there, and Ding Lian's sentencing was suspended.

Now Ding Lian and Wei Zian have been arrested, and they are still in the prison of Dali Temple. "

Originally, Dachu law stipulated that suspects could be detained for a maximum of forty days. If the case could not be concluded within forty days, it would be dealt with separately.

But because the deceased in this case were all children of powerful people, they would not be handled as ordinary cases.

Zhao Shaohua couldn't help but said: "Dali Temple wants to arrest someone just because a murder occurred? If the flower lady lying next to He Anming hadn't been tied up that day, I'm afraid they would have arrested her too!"

She knew that Wang Qilang was unreliable!
Xu Jing thought for a while and said, "Have you heard that these deceased people had the habit of taking Hanshi Powder in private?"

Zhao Jingan was startled, shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of this, but if you are caught taking Hanshi Powder, you will be sentenced. Even if they take it, they can't tell others."

indeed.

If they asked the servants around them about this matter, they should have some clues, but Xu Jing could not think of the connection between Hanshi Powder and this case for the time being, so there was no need to ask in such a hurry.

Soon, the place where the first victim died was reached.

Even though they were far apart, they smelled the foul smell of excrement. Zhao Shaohua had never experienced such a crime before. His face suddenly turned blue and he said: "Even if Zhang Zhengbo wants to find a remote place for a tryst, it's impossible." Come here!”

This requires so much patience!

Zhao Jingan's expression was not very good, and he said: "Indeed, but because everyone knows that this place is very smelly, few people even come here. I don't know the specific place of their tryst, but there is a gardener a little further ahead. The utility room, the smell is not so obvious once you enter it.”

Xu Jing couldn't help but frowned, but still walked over.

There is a small wooden house in that place. I think that is the place where the two Ye Xianglang rest on weekdays. There are many gong barrels outside the cabin, and they are all neatly stacked. The clean gong barrels are placed on the left. The cleaning bucket was placed on the right.

On the day of the incident, Zhang Zhengbo was forced into one of the buckets by the murderer and suffocated to death.

Xu Jing then went to the well in the back kitchen to check. The environment there was much more normal than the place where night fragrance was poured. Just because it was dinner time and people were coming and going in the back kitchen, Zhao Jingan found an acquaintance. The cook finally let them in for a look.

Although the kitchen door will be locked at night, the well is in the yard outside, and you can enter and exit the yard at will.

After seeing the two crime scenes, Zhao Jingming said: "According to this situation, the murderer must have known that Zhang Zhengbo and Cai Yuanlang would come here to have a tryst near this place on the day of the crime! As Madam Xu said, he followed them for a long time Time, it can only be someone from the Imperial College."

According to Zhao Jingan, not even their classmates knew clearly about the two deceased men's trysts with other students at night. Many people just speculated. This guess was only confirmed after these two cases came out.The murderer had to have been secretly observing them for a long time before he knew this clearly.

Zhao Jing'an said: "But there are nearly a thousand students in our Imperial College. Including teachers, guards and people responsible for various tasks, there must be more than 1000 people. To find the murderer inside is to find a needle in a haystack."

Xu Jing looked at him and asked, "Do these people live in the Imperial College on weekdays?"

The murderer was killed at night, which proves that he will definitely stay in the Imperial College at night.

Zhao Jingan shook his head and said: "Only students and servants affiliated with the Imperial College must live on campus. Ph.D., teaching assistants, Xuezheng, Xuelu and other teachers who are responsible for teaching and managing students, except for the night when they are on duty, can freely choose to live in the Imperial College. Better go home.

There are also some personnel hired from outside, such as cooks, Yexianglang and guards, who will only be in the Imperial College during their working hours. "

So that's the case, no wonder the two Ye Xianglang were not arrested as suspects.

Ye Xianglang only came to work at night and had no time to follow up and investigate the two students.

But in this case, more clues are needed to further narrow down the scope of suspects.

Xu Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know that the three dead people have a common enemy?"

Zhao Jingan was startled and scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "I don't know about this, but I can help you find out about their classmates. If we talk about enemies, there should be many of them. Those students who were coerced by them are called He could be their enemy, but it’s hard to say what the common enemy is. If there is one, it should be someone who was persecuted by several of them at the same time.”

Xu Jing nodded and said: "Trouble, the current situation shows that it was no accident that the murderer found those three people. He probably had a grudge against those three people, so he spent so much time and energy to kill them."

Although, she always felt that something was not quite right.

Since she was a forensic doctor, this was the first time she participated in an investigation with so little information on the case, and she was really a little helpless.

She looked at Zhao Jing'an again and asked: "The three deceased were friends and they must be together often. Is there anyone else in the Imperial College who is often with them?"

Zhao Jing'an immediately said: "Yes! There is also Jiang Zhengdao, who is also a layman with them, who often hangs out with them. This Jiang Zhengdao's father is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. It is said that he is the elder son of his parents. The family has always treated them badly. He doted on him very much, which is why he doted on him to have such a wanton temper. The four of them have always been in the same boat."

Xu Jing looked at the students who were pouring into the cafeteria one after another, "Can you recognize that Jiang Zhengdao?"

Zhao Jingan saw Xu Jing's eyes and immediately understood what she was thinking, "I recognize it, because the dead are all friends of Jiang Zhengdao. He has attracted much attention recently. I couldn't help but look at him more when I passed him." Eye. It’s just that he probably won’t come to the cafeteria today. In fact, after He Anming also died, he has been asking for leave and staying in the dormitory on the grounds of feeling unwell. Even for a person like him, he can’t stand the death of his friends one after another. "

Xu Jing was slightly startled, and immediately said: "Where is his dormitory? Maybe he can take us there to have a look?"
