"There are ghosts in the east house, when Zi Shi enters, and there are ghosts in the west house, go to Mao Shi, the candlelight falls in the first watch, the second watch is buried in the soil, and the third watch is still lingering in the water."
While she was reading, Jing Rong listened carefully.
Candlelight
In the soil
One more
Second shift
These key words stand out from that tune.
When she had finished speaking, Jing Rong thought about it, and then suddenly it came to her.
This tone - he was slightly startled: "Although Jiao Shiniang died before she entered the capital, before she knew that her body was frozen, the time of her death was estimated to be a quarter of a century, when there was a beating in the room at that time. The candlestick was turned over, and this time Xiyang died at the second quarter of Mao Shi, and the person was buried in the soil.
The tune you just said... Zi Shi? when? One more candlelight down? Two more buried in the soil? It seems that these two cases have been expected for a long time. If it is a coincidence, it is too coincidental! "
How can there be so many coincidences in the world!
It's all for fools.
Ji Yunshu's expression was solemn, and his eyes were slightly heavy: "The time of their death and the state of death at the time of their death are indeed consistent with this tune, but this is definitely not a coincidence!"
Be sure! And Jingrong continued to think down along the line of thinking just now, took a few steps back and forth in the hall, frowned, and analyzed: "Dragon House Inn is east of the capital, Brunei Pavilion is west of the capital, just in line with the tune In the middle of the two sentences 'there are ghosts in the east' and 'there are ghosts in the west', if... the murderer really kills people according to this tune, then from the last sentence in the tune, 'the third is still in the water', the murderer It is very likely... that he will continue to kill, and the location and time of the next killing are also hidden in this tune. The location of the murder may be in the east of the capital, or somewhere close to the west.
Near the water, the time is three o'clock in the hour, or three o'clock in the mao shih. "
Analysis is not bad.
But, the murderer will kill again
The layer of fog shrouded in front of him was half cleared.
But it is still in front of the eyes, blurry!
Ji Yunshu seemed to have a huge rock in his heart. He never thought that the strange tune he heard on the street that day had hidden secrets! She sighed heavily, and seemed to have other confusion: "There are... there are many suspicious things, when the murderer pretended to be Jiao Shiniang to enter Beijing, and was stopped by those three people wearing masks on the street, I clearly remember , they don't know each other at all, but the murderer's method of killing is really according to the tune, and there are three masks, one on Jiao Shiniang's face, the other on Xing Xiyang's face Above, these are enough to show that there is a connection between them. Since they know each other, why do they pretend not to know each other? Why did the three people stop her carriage on the street
for what? "
Full of questions.
A cold wind suddenly blew in outside, which immediately cleared her messy thoughts.
Uh!
She opened her eyes slightly, shocked and shocked.
"unless… "
The sound is getting smaller.
unless-
Jing Rong immediately understood what she was thinking, and continued: "Unless, this is a play."
a play!
The man revealed the crux of the case in just one sentence. Ji Yunshu: "That's right, it's a play, a play for me." There was surprise in his tone, but also a little excitement after knowing the truth, "The results of these two murders have actually started from the day she entered Beijing. She already told me that she knew that I was in the teahouse, so she calculated the time to be in the street
The show was staged to tell me when, how and where she killed her on purpose! But I didn't think too much at the time, so I'm a step behind now. "
Looking back, I was really terrified.
After a while, she suddenly thought of something: "Actually, not only this, but she also told me another piece of information."
Um
Immediately, she fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The picture of the rope tied to Xing Xiyang's wrist was drawn.
Very realistic.
As if within reach.
Jing Rong didn't understand why she suddenly asked about the rope, so she asked, "Is there anything strange about this rope?"
"Do you recognize this knot?" He looked at it and shook his head: "This is not the kind of dead knot that you usually tie, and it doesn't seem to be made casually. It seems to have no ends and no ends, but it is neat and neat. Preface, the way a person ties a knot is actually a person's habit. It can be seen that the murderer is very good at this type of knot, but so far in China
I haven't seen anyone use it yet. "
"That's because the murderer is not from the Central Plains at all."
"How do you see it?" "Masks!" she said, "At that time, the masks worn by the three people included cow ghosts, horse ghosts and snake ghosts. Judging from the color of the ingredients, they belonged to the mask of Yin ghosts. The people who are best at painting such ghost masks are the shepherds in the far north, and the knot made by the murderer has never been seen in the Central Plains.
, It can be seen that the murderer not only told me the time, method and place of her murder on the day she entered the city, but also told me that she was not from the Central Plains! "
What a rampant murderer!
Now that the general information has come out, Jing Rong called Lang Bo in. He ordered: "You go immediately to inform Jing Zhaoyin, the censor of the city, and Commander Xiao, and tell them that during this time, you must pay more attention to the places with water on both sides of the east and west, especially the three quarters of Zishi and the three quarters of Maoshi. , if there is an abnormality, no matter who it is, they will be caught! Also, if you find something outside the Great Wall
The same people were arrested. "
Ning catch the wrong thing, let it go.
Lang Bo took the order: "This subordinate understands."
"Also, you must remember that this matter must not be fanciful, lest the murderer know about it and have other plans."
"Yes."
Lang Bo went to work immediately.
But Ji Yunshu was still frowning.
Jing Rong knew: "You are thinking, why did the murderer tell you this?"
She nodded lightly, and now she could no longer think about it with normal human thinking, and said, "This may... be a game, a game that starts with killing people."
killing game!
Like a pervert!
There seemed to be a cold wind inadvertently rushing into the hall.
She looked at Jingrong and continued: "The murderer has told me so much information before the murder case, so I have been forced to participate in this game. She wants to see if she kills fast? Or I'll find her soon?"
Who would be so boring and perverted
There was a knot stuck in her heart, a dead knot.
I just don't understand, what kind of grievance is there between the murderer and himself? What to hate? Why would you play such a perverted game with yourself
Her hands in the front of her clothes were twisted together in confusion, just like her mood at the moment, she couldn't be relieved.
Jing Rong poured a cup of tea and put it in her hands.
"Let Dali Temple and the others handle the rest. If the murderer is in the capital, she will naturally not let her run away."
She didn't say anything.
At least now, the killer's next target has been known. As long as the censors of the patrol city and the people under the command of Xiao are competent, they should be able to capture the murderer when he commits the murder.
