Jianghu Case: Female Psychologist

Chapter 98

"The people who appear here are in line with the inferences that the girl said before, so let's recognize them carefully."

"What?" Lou Lidong looked around, there were a lot of people gathered around, according to Su Xiaopei's conclusion, there were not many of the type, but there were five or six of them anyway.

"Slender, middle-aged, with a certain status and power, used to giving orders, knowledgeable, and understanding, he must be among these people. You thieves can clearly see people's walking postures, action habits, etc. Even if you look If you don't know the face, you can always recognize the figure and posture." Ran Feize said quickly, his eyes had scanned the crowd around him, he had a suspicious target, but he still needed proof, he didn't want to stare at the wrong person Su Xiaopei was in danger because of losing the target.

Lou Lidong understood what he meant, he put away his smirk, touched his nose and left.

Xiao Qi heard their few words from the side, and when he saw Lou Lidong leaving, he rushed over to ask what was going on.

"Do me a favor, ask your fellow disciples to keep an eye on the people who have appeared here, and write down all the people who meet the characteristics that Miss Su said."

Xiao Qi nodded: "Re-check the suspicious people reported by the various factions to see if there are any serious ones. I will give instructions."

"You don't need too many people, don't startle the snake." Ran Feize was very calm, "I will take the girl away in a while, and you can see clearly how the people present now react after she leaves."

Xiao Qi agreed.

Ran Feize took another look around, then turned around and walked towards Su Xiaopei who was beside him.Su Xiaopei vomited until the acid water in his stomach came out, and his eyes were full of tears.Ran Feize knelt down and stroked her back.She sniffed, got up quickly, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.Ran Feize pulled her away a few steps away from the pile of dirt, wiped away her tears, and held her in his arms.

"Don't hug me." Although she really needs a hug at this moment, she still struggled. "That person must be here." He arranged all this, just waiting to see how she lost her composure in fright. He must be in these crowds, observing her and admiring his masterpiece.

"What's the matter, you and I live in the same room, we live in the same room, from the perspective of outsiders, our relationship is extraordinary, no matter whether I hug you or not at the moment, to him, he naturally knows the relationship between you and me." She knew what she was afraid of, and she was afraid of hurting him. If the thief wanted to hurt others to make her suffer and defeat her, then hurting her closest people would be a good choice.So Ran Feize acted like the closer he was to her, the more dangerous he was.

"It was I who killed her." Su Xiaopei was too weak to struggle, she really needed his arms, she wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head in his arms and said buzzingly. "She doesn't even know who I am, she doesn't know what happened, she's just like this... I killed her." Her eyes hurt, and she couldn't help crying.

He hugged her tightly and stroked her back: "If you think that way, you are following his way. Don't blame you, Xiaopei, don't blame yourself. He is a wicked person and will definitely do evil things." Yes, he'd do evil with you or without you, you know that, don't you?"

She nodded in his arms, but she was still very sad in her heart. The dead girl's wide-eyed and extremely panic-stricken state of death was still in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it.The man would still do evil without her, but the girl would not die.In order to break her spirit and destroy her will, he killed this innocent girl.

"What did he tell you?" Ran Feize asked.

"Declaration of war." Su Xiaopei raised his head from his embrace, "He said the war has begun."

Ran Feize caressed the corners of her eyes, her nose was red and she looked pitiful. "Cheer up, Xiaopei, you won't lose."

Su Xiaopei took a deep breath, tried to pull himself together, and nodded.At this moment, Du Chengming and his officers came over, Ran Feize saw from a distance, and glanced at the people on Qin Dezheng's side, Qin Dezheng was talking to Bai Yulang and Liu Xiang, as if he was giving instructions.

"Miss Su." Du Chengming approached and saluted.

Su Xiaopei rubbed his eyes, and quickly returned a salute.

"Ma'am, what do you write on this paper? What does it mean?" Du Chengming handed the blood-stained paper to Su Xiaopei.

"My lord." Before Su Xiaopei could reply, Ran Feize stopped him.He hugged Su Xiaopei into his arms, and covered her head aside to prevent her from looking at it. "My lord, Miss Su was greatly frightened. I have to take her home. After she calms down, my lord will ask again. It's all blood, she can't stand it."

Du Chengming looked at Su Xiaopei, thought for a while and finally nodded.He glanced at Ran Feize again, Ran Feize smiled apologetically at him, hugged Su Xiaopei and whispered to her, "Let's go, I'll take you home." He squeezed her hand tightly, and Su Xiaopei knew he had other intentions , without struggling to object, followed him.

Du Chengming looked deep in thought, but he stood still for a moment, then turned around and asked the officials to search everywhere and look for witnesses.A crowd of spectators surrounded the woods densely, and they asked around, but no one saw who committed the murder, and no one heard anyone calling for help.

Later, Ji Jiawen came over and invited Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei to their Xuanqing school.

Xiao Qi described what he saw today and the situation at the scene of the murder case, and then said: "The head of the Divine Fortune Sect, Gu, also went. He was quite attentive to Miss Su. After Miss Su left, his expression was a little subtle. He left after a while." He paused, "Speaking of which, headmaster Gu has been behaving strangely lately, we have inquired, and he is neglectful of managing his own affairs, either staying behind closed doors and not knowing what to do, or always running outside , and he talked a lot less. Moreover, he and Miss Su's inferences are quite consistent. They are of average age and status, and he is unmarried. Well, it's not surprising that Head Gu has some kind of ambition. They use divination in the name of divination, and they can deceive many people. There are indeed many people in the rivers and lakes who ask his family to solve the disaster. Even ordinary people, Many wealthy merchants from your family are believers in their divine calculation school, and it is reasonable to offer incense and obey their orders."

"It's just." Jiang Weiying said his doubts, "I don't know how he knows the language of the girl's hometown."

Ran Feize looked at Su Xiaopei, and Su Xiaopei shook his head: "Sect Leader Gu is indeed quite similar to the person I deduced, but it's not him. Sect Leader Gu should be a follower in this matter, and someone else is behind the scenes."

"Why?"

"As Xiao Daxia said, Sect Leader Gu has something to ask for, but the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't want anything. When I say nothing, I mean that he doesn't want power, status and money by doing these things. He just enjoys the feeling of being in control, of being told to do what he wants, of being in charge. It’s a pleasure, that’s all.”

Jiang Weiying, Xiao Qi and the others frowned.Su Xiaopei said: "It's like some people want to kill people out of control. It's a disease in their hearts."

Everyone discussed for a while, and selected some people, who Su Xiaopei was not familiar with, and after discussing for a while, they also felt that the possibility was unlikely.Xiao Qi gave Ran Feize a copy of the names they wrote down.Ran Feize looked at it, and suddenly asked: "Didn't the head of Cuishan faction Cao go to the scene today?"

Xiao Qi shook his head: "I didn't go. He drank with Gu Zhangmen and others yesterday, and said that he was recovering from a cold at home when he came back in the morning. I only heard about it when the master invited him to discuss matters this morning. It's normal if he didn't go." .”

Ran Feize nodded.Jiang Weiying frowned: "Do you doubt the head of Cao? He must not be the mastermind behind the scenes. Although he is a little irritable, he has a good heart. Besides, he has a wife and a concubine..." He said this I'm a little embarrassed, Cao Hedong is good in everything else, but he's a little lecherous, and he has a lot of wives and concubines.Now that Su Xiaopei is here, it is really embarrassing to ask him to discuss this man's wife and concubine with a girl's family.

Ran Feize was unaffected, and he nodded again: "Master Cao has such a temper, it's really difficult for him to be the mastermind behind the scenes." It's just that he was also present at the Linglong formation, and the murderer of Taoist Jiuling has not yet been found. Besides, He was quite close to Gu Kang, the divine fortune teller, and something happened last night, so they went drinking together by such a coincidence, and they had alibi for each other.The massacre in the forest this afternoon, Gu Kang arrived, but he was sick, or was he sick when he went back in the morning?What a coincidence.

Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei went back to the room, Su Xiaopei sat blankly at the table, not in good spirits.Ran Feize sat with her for a long time and asked her, "What are you thinking?"

"There was no cry for help. It means that the girl was pinched by the neck before she could call for help when she realized that someone was attacking. When she died, she was panicked. It was the person who hijacked her who threatened her and cut her off at the moment she was most afraid. cut her neck. He was so cruel just to show me her frightened expression."

"Xiao Pei." Ran Feize interrupted her.

"He also cut off her hair to make her short like mine, to let me know that it was for me to see and foretell my end. He also stabbed her in the stomach with a branch... .”

"Xiaopei." Ran Feize's voice became severe, and Su Xiaopei turned to look at him.

"What did you promise me?" He was serious.

Su Xiaopei pursed her lips, she knew she shouldn't think about these things, but her mind was involuntary and she couldn't control it. "Strong man, I'm sad," she had to admit, "I can't concentrate, I'm sad."

"Come here." Ran Feize pulled her over and sat on his lap.He hugged her, "Don't you know best? He did this to make you like this."

"I know."

"He wanted to scare you before, but if he didn't scare you, he won't succeed this time either."

"Yeah." She replied weakly.

He patted her head, raised her head, and made her look in the direction of the inner room. "Master Du was sitting in this position at that time, and he looked into the room from time to time. I tried to know that this position can clearly see all the things you posted on the wall."

Su Xiaopei was taken aback, she sat up straight, and looked at the materials she had posted on the wall, she wrote them in English, no one could understand them, so no one was interested in reading them.Everyone just glanced at it curiously.

"If you don't understand, you don't have to keep reading, right?"

Su Xiaopei turned her head in a daze, looking at Ran Feize.

"When he is away, you can leave the letter and let his followers paste it for him. You said that what you wrote this morning is a good job, it means that he knows what you said yesterday. When I do the math, They arrived at Pingzhou City yesterday, he rushed over quickly, and he would arrive in more than an hour. He came to know about your news, wrote a new letter, and then returned to Pingzhou City, pretending to discuss various matters with Qin Butou , and then came together all night, and Qin Butou can testify his whereabouts, and he was not in Wuzhen at all when the previous letters were posted, so no one would suspect him."

Su Xiaopei nodded, thinking of the scissorhands she drew, everyone was making gestures for fun, even Qin Butou tried, but Du Chengming didn't, he said she was quite funny.But the gesture of not making a gesture is really not any evidence, this doubt is too thin.

"Everyone has read the paper you pasted on the wall twice, but no one has read it seriously, because no one can understand it." Ran Feize stroked her head, "You posted it very well, very well Mr. Du took the initiative to sit in this seat, and even rushed to sit in front of Qin Butou in a bit of impoliteness. I didn't pay attention at the time, but later on at the table, he seemed to keep going there inadvertently by talking and drinking water. Afterwards, I tried every position, and finally understood what he was looking for. That’s why I doubted him.”

"They said they want to go back to rest and make arrangements. He has time to go to the woods to wait for the opportunity to do it." Su Xiaopei's spirit lifted.

"But how does he know that a girl will pass by? What if no girl passes by?"

"Perhaps the girl's daily whereabouts are fixed. He has already inquired about it. He has written the letter and thought about how to arrange the corpse. This will not be a temporary idea. He has planned it in advance. Let me see it in the morning and praise me for doing it." A good letter, let me see the horrible corpse at noon, declare war on me, his rhythm is well controlled, everything is under his control, he must be very proud." The more Su Xiaopei said, the angrier she became, she Jumped down, paced back and forth, and walked for a while: "Strong man, you are right, it makes sense. His appearance and demeanor do fit the profile of a criminal. Check his background, there must be some Harvested."

Without waiting for Ran Feize to reply, she continued: "There is also his whereabouts at noon today. This is easy to ask. Mr. Qin and the others have been with him all the time. If no one sees him at noon, it will be him."

Ran Feize shook his head, Su Xiaopei stopped and frowned: "What do you think is wrong?"

"I guess Lord Du must have an alibi."

"is it?"

"The thieves saw that someone entered the divination room of the Divine Suanmen and used the words and ink in it. I think he probably read the words left by Gu Kang about your deduction, so he wrote a letter praising and molesting you. But at this time, Gu Kang was not at the Divine Suanmen, and he went to drink with Cao Zhangmen and others. For such a trivial matter, he had already arranged an alibi, so Gu Kang could leave this matter clean, and the family He happened to be away, they didn't even meet each other, if someone accuses something, there is nowhere to say it."

"But if he has been with others all the time, how can he start killing people?"

Ran Feize frowned, "Maybe he taught others to do it?"

"If he is with others all the time, how can he have time to order others to do something?"

Ran Feize didn't expect the answer, so he led Su Xiaopei to the town office.There are no serious officials in Wuzhen Town Yamen. Most of the affairs in this town are martial arts disputes.Only this time, a village girl died, and Pingzhou city's head arrester was in charge of the town, so the town government became busy.

When Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei arrived, Du Chengming was discussing matters with the officials of the Zhenya, and Qin Dezheng was also with them.Only Bai Yulang was guarding outside, and when he saw them, he told them everything he knew with a thunderclap, answering whatever they asked.

"It's noon today? After we came back, Lord Du took us to eat together, drank some wine, and had a good time. We talked about many interesting stories about catching bandits and arresting murderers, and also talked about the case of Pingzhou City." Bai Yulang With a look of excitement, he obviously enjoyed the meal. "After talking for a long time, someone came to report that the female body was found, and the adults led us to go together." Bai Yulang was very excited and told a lot of interesting things he heard at the banquet. Ran Feize asked if anyone left the banquet. But what happened, he answered no, and he was very sure.

Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei looked at each other.Sure enough, there was an alibi, and it was ironclad.Not only did he not have the time to do it himself, but he also did not have the time to tell others to do it.

How did this happen?
At this time, Du Chengming and others came out of the room and saw Su Xiaopei smiled slightly: "Miss Su is feeling better? Just right, I still have some questions to ask the girl."

Su Xiaopei stared into his eyes and nodded: "Your Excellency, don't rush to ask. It suddenly occurred to me that the thief left me a letter, but I haven't replied to him yet. Your Excellency, please borrow a pen, ink and white paper."

Of course Du Chengming didn't refuse, and sent someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.With a swipe of his brush, Su Xiaopei drew a huge picture, and then carried the Tuxiong Jiuzheng to the notice wall.A group of people followed her curiously and waited to watch the play. Su Xiaopei almost went the wrong way and was carried back by Ran Feize. She couldn't help it, she was not familiar with the road from the town hall to the notice wall.But going the wrong way this time didn't dampen her aura, she was angry, and she was very angry.When she reached the notice wall, she wanted to paste the picture in her hand, but she felt that the post was too low, so she asked Ran Feize to post it for her.

Finally Ran Feize posted it.

Everyone looked around. "What is this?" "It seems to be, pointing the middle finger." "What does this mean?" "Put the middle finger? The girl's characters are ugly, and so are the pictures." "It's fine if you can understand it." ?”

A crowd of men in ancient costumes circled the notice wall and compared their middle fingers.Su Xiaopei turned to look at Du Chengming, looked at his expression, and said, "My lord, I am sending my greetings to the person who left the letter. Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely find him out and seek justice for the girl who died tragically!"

"Is this a greeting?" The gangsters gestured vigorously, collectively pointing the middle finger.Only Du Chengming didn't do it, and neither did Su Xiaopei. She didn't do such a vulgar action, and she didn't allow Ran Feize to do it.She saw Du Chengming twitch his face in a bunch of middle finger gestures.
