To die with eyes closed is not a good thing for most people, at least in the eyes of Wan Qiliang, so some kind-hearted neighbors will ask Taoist priests to save them, which can be regarded as a comfort to themselves. After all, if they The world of life is full of resentment, and it must be difficult for everyone.
The twelve corpses were taken away one by one by the government. The vacant house was instantly described as a haunted house. No one dared to live in it anymore. I don’t know how long it will take for people to forget this situation. If no more murders happen again. if.
Tantai Li locked himself in the palace, with all the information about these four families at hand. He didn't sleep all night, and his eyes became red after looking at these things. As a result, his anxiety became more and more serious, and several broken pictures The paper couldn't give him any answers, so he should have been expecting nothing.
Wan Qiliang was not in a state of near collapse like Tantai Li. She tried to connect everything that could be connected. What she obviously knew was that none of the four families were natives of Beiliang. They might be from other places in Qiliang. , so there are no relatives around, so there are no worries when starting. Furthermore, the geographical location of the four families is exactly a square. Even if it is a small circle, the order of death is exactly the clockwise arrangement of the dead ends of the square.
However, this little information is not enough for her to lock the target. The range is still too large, and if the murderer plans to continue to commit crimes, it is not certain whether he will follow this pattern again. If this is the case, then next time it should be in the west of the city. Four households
Wan Qiliang ordered Xiao to investigate all the foreigners in the four directions of Beiliang City, southeast and northwest. This would take a certain amount of time, but before Xiao could finish the work, the murderer had already started to commit crimes.
Only one family was killed this time, not in the west of the city, but in the south of the city. Those killed were not ordinary civilians, but famous and wealthy families in Northern Liang. Everyone from the master to the servants of the family was spared, and the number was definitely more than ten Two or twenty are more than enough. When the Yamen came to check, they found that there were exactly twenty-four people in this family, twice as many as twelve. Could it be that next time it would become thirty-six? Or forty-eight
Wan Qiliang happened to be hiding in a tree as a bystander. The yamen were counting the identities one by one. Wan Qiliang found that everyone was missing their little finger. The man was on the left and the woman was on the right. The murderer was quite particular and very particular. cruel.
Looking at the position of the incision on the little finger, it was also done after death, and it was also scissors. These fingers were cut off by scissors. Twenty-four little fingers, are these the souvenirs of this murderer? Why are the things he likes so unorthodox and disgusting
However, the murder weapon this time was not a blunt weapon, but a very sharp knife. There was no fixed injury position on each corpse. It was probably because the murderer got excited and could kill someone with just a few glances, so some people had wounds on them. Dozens of cuts were made in non-vital places, and some people were killed with just one blow.
If the murderer of these two times was the same person, Wan Qiliang felt that his techniques seemed to have become much more proficient, but how did he attack so many people? Because it did not look like a gang crime, the autopsy concluded that all the cuts on the bodies were made with a knife, and there was not much difference in the depth of the cuts, which meant that they were made by one person.
One wave after another, the case in the east of the city is not over yet, and the south of the city is causing trouble again. Tantai Li is now one of the top two, but Tantai Jing has not been seen.
Logically speaking, when such a big thing happened, Tantai Jing, as the prince of a country, has the responsibility to help Tantai Li solve the case. However, he has been silent all the time, as if he doesn't know about it at all, or he seems to have deliberately missed it. Got through this.
Wan Qiliang's people at Prince Jing's Mansion said that he hadn't left the house in the past few days and could he avoid suspicion by not hearing what was going on outside the window? Wan Qiliang doesn't think so, and Tantai Li won't be so stupid.
There is also the woman Youluo. Tantai Jing put her under house arrest in the palace, and she has been sleeping until now. Wan Qiliang thought that it would be easy to take over the body this time, but it didn't seem like this, so she Will be late to wake up.
The Yamen took all the corpses back to Yizhuang. At least they couldn't stay here, otherwise the impact would not be the same as the people watching now.
Compared with the previous bloody scenes in the east of the city, this time the south of the city is relatively clean. Is it just that the whole family was wiped out? Is it because the murderer likes this kind of game
The wealthy businessman Meng family has many enemies. The head of the family, Meng Xiong, is a profiteer. Although he is not unkind for his wealth, he still makes people complain a lot. Even his son Meng Fei has imitated Meng Xiong's unhealthy habits and is always the king in that area. He dominates, and even good people cannot hide when they see him.
It is not a pity for such a person to die, but it does not mean that the murderer can go unpunished. Although there are always flaws in the law, to do justice for God does not mean to kill innocent people.
Although Wan Qiliang felt that she had no say in this aspect, after all, she also had blood on her hands, and she was not a first-class good person. She had no right to judge the good and evil of others, so she just wanted to see this person. A murderer, at least that gave her some peace of mind.
But Tantai Li wouldn't think so. He wanted to shoot the murderer through the heart with an arrow, or cut him to pieces with a thousand knives. There were twenty-four living lives, including a child and two old men who together were over a hundred years old. They died in the same way, which was really cruel. He didn't know what kind of deep hatred could lead to such a massacre. If there were any cats or dogs raised in this yard, they would all be brutally murdered.
East of the city, south of the city, if you follow the order of directions, it should be the west of the city next time. What kind of families in the west of the city will suffer this disaster? Tantai Li still has no clues, and Tantai Ming is close to getting angry. If something like this happens in his own country, which king will not feel like he has been humiliated in front of his face. No one can pinpoint the murderer. How is he, that's why he is so arrogant? If he is allowed to continue to be so arrogant, Tantai Ming should die to apologize.
"We still don't have a clue about the matter. What on earth did those people under your command do?" Tantai Ming has never spoken to Tantai Li in such a tone. This can also be seen that he is really angry and has a bad personality. All become twisted.
Tantai Li lowered his head. He still had not forgotten the courtesy between the emperor and his ministers. This time it was the emperor reprimanding his ministers. He had nothing to say. In fact, it was indeed his incompetence in doing things. He arranged so many informants in Beiliang but they were of no use and he still allowed the murderer to succeed. This was his negligence.
"I know my crime, please punish me." Tantai Li knelt on the ground and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Brother Wei doesn't blame you. Brother Wei is really angry to say that." Tantai Ming helped Tantai Li up, "You and I don't have to be so estranged. Brother Li didn't blame brother Wei, right?" Tai Ming was suddenly overwhelmed with anger and began to speak indiscriminately to his brother who had grown up together since childhood.
"Brother I don't dare."
"You are really blaming Brother Wei for what you said. Brother Wei, I will apologize to you."
"It's absolutely impossible. The emperor is the king of a country, so how can he give such a great gift to my brother? I really don't mean to blame the emperor, I just blame myself for not living up to expectations."
"Such a thing happened. Brother Wei knows that you are just as worried and anxious as Brother Wei, but it's useless to be anxious. We have to find a way." Tantai Ming patted Tantai Li on the shoulder comfortingly, "Brother Wei I can’t do anything in this deep palace, I have to leave everything to you.”
"My brother will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor. He will definitely catch the murderer and bring him to the front of the emperor." Even if Tantai Ming did not give orders, Tantai Li did not dare to relax for a moment. His people are still continuing to investigate. , but no suspicious person has been found yet. I don’t know when this approach of finding a needle in a haystack will end.
"Go and do your work. We can't waste even a moment in tracking down the murderer."
"Yes, my brother is resigning."
Tantai Li was walking on the path of the palace. The place had always looked magnificent. He immediately thought of the tragic situation in the Meng Mansion and the more than a hundred neatly arranged corpses in Liefeng Village. Their bones were still under the care of his men. For such a long time, there was no change at all. Each bone was still frighteningly white.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? He looks like he's out of his mind." Tantai Li was so busy with the murder case that he didn't notice the person walking towards him. When he heard the voice and raised his head again, he almost collided with the person in front of him. superior.
"My brother has seen the emperor's sister-in-law. I just got distracted and didn't see the emperor's sister-in-law. Please forgive me."
"We are all a family, what is there to forgive? It's just that I don't think you look good, but you have been too busy recently?" Queen Lian is dignified and virtuous. She can really take on the responsibility of being the mother of a country for so many years. With the words "Mother Yi Tianxia", even Tantai Ming respected her very much.
"My brother is fine, and the emperor's sister-in-law doesn't have to worry." Tantai Li also valued this queen very much. Since she became the queen, the harem has been managed in an orderly manner. The previous tendency of comparison and jealousy has been greatly improved, and the concubines The concubine and the concubine lived in harmony, which relieved the emperor's brother a lot of worry.
"I am about to go to pay my respects to the Emperor. Do you want to go with me, Your Majesty?"
"My younger brother has just come out of Jingxin Palace, and this time he will not go with the emperor's sister-in-law."
"Your Majesty, your face is not very good. Go back and have a good rest. His Majesty must have trusted your Majesty too much to make him work so hard." Lian nodded slightly. She had also heard about what happened outside the palace. She must have heard of the Emperor at this moment. Also worried.
"Thank you, Sister-in-Law, for your concern. I will resign." Tantai Li also wondered if he really needed a break. Why couldn't he do anything well
