The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 42 Smile like a long smile (third update)

Looking at Xiao Yi's sharp and deep black eyes, Xu Jing couldn't help but cough slightly.

Damn it, I was so engrossed in the discussion just now that I forgot to cover it up a little bit.

However, she was already suspicious enough in this man's mind, and she didn't care if he was a little more suspicious.

Thinking of this, she slowly calmed down and said softly: "Didn't you tell Shilang Xiao? I read these from the miscellaneous books I used to read. Shilang Xiao has read tens of thousands of books. If you haven't read it, These books mean that you haven’t read as many books as I have, so Minister Xiao needs to reflect on himself."

Xiao Yi: "..."

Even Chen Hu couldn't help but choked and coughed while covering his mouth.

Xiao Shilang is a well-known talent in Chu!He was the number one scholar in high school at the age of 17, and even the Song Dynasty scholar who is currently serving as a memorial to the Imperial College praised him. How could he not read as many books as Mrs. Xu!

Even Chen Hu noticed that Madam Xu seemed to like to find trouble with Minister Xiao.

But Xiao Shilang seemed to be testing Madam Xu from time to time.

Ah, could this be the legendary happy enemy?

Chen Hu's eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but look at the handsome and upright Mr. Xiao, and then at the beautiful Madam Xu. He shouted excitedly in his heart -

How could he just see now that these two are really a good match!So worthy!

Even the way they are going back and forth now seems so exciting!
Xu Jing didn't know that the guy next to her had pink bubbles in his head. Seeing that she had shocked Xiao Yi into speechlessness, she smiled with satisfaction and said: "Back to business, how did Xiao Shilang know that, The case in Xijing and the case in Anping County were both committed by the same person? Moreover, since there have been so many similar cases in Anping County before, why has it not been taken seriously? "

Xiao Yi couldn't help but give her a cold look, but did not continue to test, saying: "After the Xijing case happened, I looked through the files of past cases in Anping County and found that regardless of the location of the scars on the deceased, or the location of the scars, The shapes are very similar to those cases in Anping County.

Murder can be imitated, but it is difficult for a prisoner to imitate the location of the scars on the deceased so accurately. Not only the location, but also the size and depth of the scars are very similar.

As for why these cases did not attract attention before, in fact, they once attracted attention, but officials in the past never found the murderer and could only treat them as unsolved cases.

Moreover, previous cases did not occur frequently, usually only one or two a year. "

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and said thoughtfully: "So, the criminal's behavior pattern has undergone two obvious changes. First, he left Anping County for the first time and went to Xijing to kill people.

Second, the frequency of his crimes has increased significantly. Previously, there were only one or two murders a year. However, now, including today's deceased, it is the fourth murder in a month.

Why?Could it be that something happened that stimulated him and gave him more desire to kill in a short period of time? "

Xiao Yi did not interrupt Xu Jing's soliloquy, but looked at her deeply, and tapped the small table beside him with his right index finger unconsciously.

If her understanding of serial murderers could be gained from reading books, it seemed that she had become a habitual case analysis at this time and could never learn it from books.

That is a habit and acumen that can only be developed by those who have been responsible for criminal cases for a long time.

Xiao Yi could even say that the abilities and acumen of many people in the Criminal Department were far inferior to this woman.

What is this woman hiding?
Xiao Yi suppressed the doubts in his heart and quietly interrupted Xu Jing, "I have already answered your questions. Now you can tell me why the murderer targeted you?"

Xu Jing suddenly came back to her senses, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yi, with a strange smile on her lips, and said: "If I guess correctly, the deceased in the previous cases were all placed in a very conspicuous place by the murderer. .”

Xiao Yi was stunned, and seemed to think of something all of a sudden, his eyes darkened, "What do you want to say?"

That means she guessed it right.

Xu Jing smiled coldly and said: "I don't know where the deceased were found in the previous cases. Judging from the recent cases in Anping County, the murderer obviously did not shy away from the crimes he committed. , even really want to show off to others." Show off?

Chen Hu on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This was the first time he heard this statement!
Whenever the murderer is mentioned, everyone will think that he must have committed something that is not allowed by the law, and they will all be like a rat who has stolen something, desperately trying to hide his crime.

This was the first time he heard that some criminals wanted to show off their crimes to others!
Xiao Yi also seemed a little stunned, but quickly pondered: "You mean, he deliberately placed the deceased in a conspicuous place, deliberately letting others discover his crime?"

"Yes, in the first case that occurred during this period, the deceased was found lying on the road. In the second case, the deceased was found hanging on a tree. The tree was next to the official road. If If you want to hide the body, why not hang it on a tree further inside?”

Xu Jing said coldly: "The deceased hoped that the crime he committed would be discovered faster and earlier, and enjoyed the sensation that his crime caused. When he was hiding in the crowd, he heard people around him discussing his crime. When he was involved in a case that caused panic because of something he did, he might have secretly rejoiced on the sidelines. For him, this thing would give him unparalleled satisfaction!
Therefore, it is clear why he provoked me..."

When Xu Jing said this, she paused.

Chen Hu couldn't help but look anxious when he heard the news.

What is the reason? Madam Xu should tell me quickly!
He is no longer in the mood to explore where Madam Xu learned these things.

Now he just wants to worship the lady!
Xiao Yi looked at Xu Jing, took a breath, and took over her words, "Recently, rumors about the goddess doctor of Xinglin Hall have spread a lot, and the limelight has even overshadowed the case he committed. Because of this, he has feelings for the goddess of Xinglin Hall." The doctor has a grudge, so he set up this situation to provoke you."

Xu Jing couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi with admiration, and smiled sincerely, "As expected of Minister Xiao, yes, the murderer would go to such trouble to provoke me only because - he hated me for robbing him. Limelight.

Perhaps, this is the first time he has encountered such a thing in all his years of committing crimes.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought of placing his crimes on me. Those crimes were equivalent to the military exploits of a general to him. To ask him to hand over his crimes to others would be no less than killing him.

Anyone with some brains will understand the relationship between it and the previous cases the moment they see the scars on the deceased! "

Xiao Yi inadvertently looked into Xu Jing's bright eyes with a full smile, and a strange emotion surged in his heart. He couldn't help but look away, lowered his head, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

strangeness.

It must be that this woman was smiling too strangely, and he was a little uncomfortable with it.

He smiled as if Changxiao had seen his most beloved candied haws.

Chen Hu couldn't help but feel even more excited when he looked at the two people who were cooperating with each other tacitly.

Good match, really good match!
They are indeed his favorite pair!
Even so, he couldn't help but sigh: "The murderer is so disgusting."

Ordinary people cannot do such a thing as treating their murderous crime as a military achievement.

Xu Jing said quietly: "This is a very common mentality among serial murderers.

Speaking of which, since today's case and the previous case were both committed by the same person, the cause of their death must be the same. What was the cause of death? "

Today's deceased was not burned to death, and the injuries on his body were post-mortem injuries.

This shows that there was another reason for his death.

However, as soon as Xu Jing finished speaking, she saw that the expressions of the two people in front of her became weird and strange at a speed visible to the naked eye.
