The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 41 The Psychology of Serial Murderers (Second Update)

Xu Jing finally accompanied the Cheng brothers and sisters to the county government office.

After arriving at the county government office, officers immediately came up and took away the Cheng brothers and sisters. Just as Xu Jing was about to follow, she saw Chen Hu walking over quickly and greeting warmly, "Ms. Xu, this way, this way!"

Xu Jing was stunned and stopped.

Chen Hu walked up to her with a smile on his face and said, "Ms. Xu, Minister Xiao has an order, please come with me."

After the guy finished talking to her, he left without looking back. Xu Jing thought he had forgotten her.

She raised her eyebrows and followed Chen Hu, asking as she walked: "Where will the others be taken? Where will I go?"

"They are all persons related to the case, and they need to take notes first, and Madam Xu, you are our distinguished guest, so you cannot go with them."

Chen Hu led Xu Jing to the teahouse where Xiao Yi took her to the last time he went back to Peng Shi's case.

But inside, Xiao Yi was already sitting on the couch calmly, holding a document in one hand and reading it, holding a teacup elegantly in the other hand, his head slightly lowered and pecking.

The last few times Xu Jing saw Xiao Yi, they were either in jail or in court. In those places, Xiao Yi was full of official style, with a dignified and majestic demeanor, full of righteousness, and would be irritating to others just by looking at him. close.

However, Xiao Yi, who was in the tea room at the moment, rarely looked a little less dignified and solemn in the court. His posture was elegant and casual, and he faintly revealed a bit of the romantic style of a gentleman from a wealthy family. He looked better than before. More approachable.

When he felt someone coming in, he raised his eyes slightly, put down the things in his hands, stood up, motioned to a chair not far away with his hand, and said, "Mrs. Xu, please sit down."

Xu Jing glanced at him and was not polite. She sat down according to her words, took off the power fence on her head and put it aside. She looked at Xiao Yi and said with a half-smile, "Shilang Xiao called me here because he wanted to be alone." Interrogate me?"

Chen Hu, who was pouring tea for Xu Jing extremely diligently, suddenly slipped and almost couldn't hold the teapot in his hand.

Madam Xu is really capable!He could still be so calm when facing Xiao Shilang, and even dared to make fun of Xiao Shilang!

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few days when Xiao Shilang took over their county government, they were on tenterhooks every day, not even daring to take a breath, for fear that if they did something wrong, they would attract Xiao Shilang's attention and receive another inhuman punishment!

He has worked in the Anping County government office for five years, and this is the first time he has seen such a strict, upright and solemn county government office. For those who don't know, he thought it was some important institution in the imperial city!

Xiao Yi sat back on the couch again. He was slightly startled when he heard this. He glanced at Xu Jing with his dark eyes and said, "I thought I had shown enough sincerity to Madam Xu's proposal for cooperation. , Could it be that Madam Xu is dissatisfied with me in some way?"

Xu Jing couldn't help but be speechless.

Enough sincerity?Did he care that he left without looking back and didn't make it clear that his attitude was sincere?
Doesn't it matter that he was sincere when he mocked her before leaving?

However, the man in front of her frowned at her, as if he really didn't understand why she was so sarcastic. Xu Jing couldn't help but look at the sky silently.

Well, although this man is observant, he cannot be expected to be as delicate as a woman.

Xu Jing curled her lips and said, "It's just a joke. Mr. Xiao, you don't need to think too much. Since Mr. Xiao also intends to cooperate, let's get back to the topic."

Although Xiao Yi didn't quite understand the twists and turns of the woman's thoughts, her tone just now didn't sound like a joke.

However, the woman in front of him had already sat up straight, as if he didn't want to say anything more. He was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, Madam Xu, you might as well tell me why you think the murderer is deliberately setting up a trap for you?" Xu Jing then asked. When Cheng Qingqing was robbed of her wallet by a child, Xiao Yi said what the child asked Cheng Qingqing before grabbing her wallet.

When talking about this matter, her voice still couldn't help but be a little tight, "Old Doctor Cheng has traditional ideas and never likes girls to show up in public. Therefore, when Mrs. Cheng was a child, she basically did not go to Dr. Cheng's medical clinic and did not do much It was not until Mrs. Cheng's brother suddenly ran away from home that Mrs. Cheng made up her mind and begged Dr. Cheng to teach her medical skills.

However, even if Dr. Cheng promised to teach her medical skills, she was not allowed to go to the medical clinic with him. Therefore, even the patients who often came to Xinglin Hall only knew that Dr. Cheng had a daughter, but few people saw him. Lady.

After I rescued someone on the street last time, I haven't appeared in public again, and I don't go to Xinglin Hall very often. It's normal for the murderer to mistake Mrs. Cheng for me. "

Xiao Yi couldn't help but glance at her.

It is a perfectly normal idea not to let one's daughter be exposed to the public. Except for people who cannot even satisfy their own food and clothing, who would be willing to let their daughter be exposed to the public.

When it came to her mouth, it became an ideological tradition.

He pondered for a moment and said: "I have a general understanding of the matter. However, why did the murderer target you? Is there any dispute between you and the murderer?"

Xiao Yi felt incredible when he said this.

That was the murderer of a serial murder case, and even the government didn't know his identity yet.

Why did the woman in front of him have a problem with him?
Xu Jing smiled coldly and said, "I was confused at first, but when I saw today's deceased, I understood it all at once."

As she said that, she looked at Xiao Yi and said in a slightly cold voice: "Master Xiao, I only heard people around me mention the two previous cases. It is said that the deceased in the first case was found on the road. The antique dealer who discovered him even accidentally ran his carriage over the body.

The deceased in the second case was hung from a tree and found by a vendor returning home at night, but was that so?
And these are just two cases that happened during this period. The fact that Xiao Shilang came to Anping County from the capital to investigate the case means that similar cases have happened before. It is very likely that it also happened in Xijing, right? "

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed slightly.

But he was not very surprised that this woman could guess these things. He looked at her and nodded: "Yes, there have been at least six similar cases before."

Six?

Xu Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard Xiao Yi continue: "However, most of the cases occurred in Anping County. There is only one case that occurred in Xijing. The case that occurred in Xijing was just a month ago."

Only one thing happened in Xijing?

Xu Jing immediately noticed something unusual, frowned slightly and said: "No, the perpetrators of serial murder cases usually have their own fixed pattern of behavior, and this pattern will not be easily broken. His other cases are all Why was it that only that one case was committed in Anping County and was committed in Xijing? Are you sure it was committed by the same person and not someone imitating the crime?"

Xiao Yi was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly said meaningfully: "Ms. Xu knows the perpetrators of the serial murders well, as if she had had many contacts with them."

Chen Hu on the side was already a little stupid.

This...are these things a woman should know?

It was him who noticed these things based on experience because he had worked in the yamen for so many years!
No...but Madam Xu can even do an autopsy. She knows so much about serial murderers at this time, so it doesn't seem like she can make too much of a fuss!
