Detective in the Red Chamber

The first thing to check was the crime scene, that is, the living room of the main room. Even after more than half a month, there was still a stench on the ground. One can imagine the bloody scene at that time.

Next is the east room next to the next door. Inside, there is a messy bedding. Although it has been covered with dust, it can still be seen that someone has had fun on it.

again...

In short, there is not much discrepancy between the traces at the scene and the testimony of witnesses, and it can be said that they fit quite well.

However, according to the autopsy report, those who had already died in the morning, how could they "order, eat, have fun, and quarrel" like a living person?

After completing this round, seeing Sun Shaozong groaning silently, Wei Ruolan finally couldn't bear it any longer, and asked again, "Did Master Sun see anything?"

There was irony and sarcasm in the words, but there was also a bit of anticipation - maybe even he himself didn't know whether he expected Sun Shaozong to solve more cases, or not to solve more cases.

Sun Shaozong shook his head first, then nodded, and finally said slowly, "I didn't see anything, but it's like seeing something."

It's cloudy!

Wei Ruolan exchanged glances with Master Qi, and Master Qi smiled wryly, "Student is really confused at the moment, if you really find out something, sir, please don't hesitate to enlighten me."

Sun Shaozong asked back, "What do you think is the most bizarre and bizarre aspect of this case?"

Master Qi said without hesitation, "Of course it's a corpse that has been dead for a long time and has done so many things!"

But then he hesitated again, "But the confessions of Zhou Bajin and the others corroborate each other, and there is nothing suspicious about it."

"To be honest, the students never believed in ghosts and gods in this world before, but now..."

With that said, Master Qi shook his head blankly.

"Ha ha……"

Sun Shaozong laughed, and said, "Of course this is not a ghost, but a well-planned murder case—but because the plan was too well-planned, it actually showed its flaws!"

Chapter 344 The Mysterious Event of Longsheng Old Store [Part [-]]

Because the plan was formulated too carefully, so it showed its feet?

Wei Ruolan was confused when he heard this, Master Qi seemed to have vaguely guessed something, but he really couldn't believe it, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Could it be that my lord wants to say that these witnesses are... all of the same group?" of?"

"Of course!"

Sun Shaozong said firmly, "When they answered the questions at the beginning, they were exactly the same as the confession half a month ago, so I felt something was wrong."

"Afterwards, they were able to answer those trivial details fluently, so I was sure that there must be tricks in it - of course there are people with a photographic memory, but wouldn't it be strange for Master Qi to encounter so many at once?"

"It's strange, it's a little strange."

Master Qi hesitated and said, "But they really have nothing to do with each other - besides, not all of them are like this, so didn't shopkeeper Zhao just say something vague?"

"Ha ha."

Sun Shaozong chuckled and said, "He is not only the only one who is vague, but also the only witness who did not see the deceased in person on the afternoon of April [-]th!"

The only witness who did not see the deceased on the afternoon of April [-]th?

Master Qi was thoughtful, but Wei Ruolan snorted and said, "Aren't you confused? Isn't there another Zhang Zhou family here? She just heard some noise from next door. How can you say that shopkeeper Zhao is the only one... "

"and many more!"

Master Qi suddenly interrupted him excitedly, and said excitedly, "I understand what your lord means, assuming that everyone except shopkeeper Zhao is an accomplice, the person who talked to Zhang Kai at that time was not a dead man with a dead face. It's his wife Zhang Zhou!"

"That's right!"

Sun Shaozong sneered and said, "Since Mrs. Zhang Zhou can hear the groans coming from the next door, can't she hear the more intense quarrel behind her? Hearing the quarrel between her husband and the woman, even if she doesn't rush to help, she will always You shouldn't be hiding in the house, you didn't react at all?!"

"My lord is right!"

Master Qi nodded heavily in agreement, but then he frowned, and said with a wry smile, "But the problem is, there is really no relationship between these five people, and it can't be proved that they are guilty of murder together just by deduction."

"That's right!"

Wei Ruolan also interjected, "This is not a joke, but a monstrous case that killed six people at once. How can several people who have never met each other trust each other? How can they be linked together?" ?!"

Sun Shaozong smiled slightly, and asked back, "Master Wei, have you forgotten the judgment you made at the beginning? What can make five strangers conspire to murder is naturally the words 'same hatred and hatred'!"

"Same hatred?"

"It's 'same hatred and hatred'!"

Sun Shaozong said eloquently, "Although these five people are on different sides of the world and have no contact with each other, they may not have the same enemy!"

"Of course, there must be another person or a force between them, so they can work together and not leak!"

"Who would do it?"

Wei Ruolan anxiously asked, "Why did he go to such pains to devise such a whimsical killing method?! Is it because of enmity with these six people, or is there some other purpose?!"

Sun Shaozong spread his hands, looking like 'you ask me, who should I ask'.

Wei Ruolan was a little disappointed at first, but then she breathed a sigh of relief, and blurted out, "So there are things you don't know!"

Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes speechlessly, didn't this guy just think that he was omniscient and omnipotent?

In fact, this time, the reason why he was able to understand the case as soon as he came here was not because his IQ crushed Master Qi and Wei Ruolan, but because he had 600 years more information accumulation than the two of them—a man of 14xx years. , of course it is impossible to watch "Murder on the Orient Express"!

And Sun Shaozong has not only read novels and movies, but also personally handled similar cases-in the Internet age, it is nothing new for a group of people who have never met in reality to conspire to commit crimes!

So when he found that everyone's testimony was seriously inconsistent with the autopsy report, he was already doubting this possibility.

The book is back to normal.

But Sun Shaozong said seriously, "Although I can't deduce right now, who is the person behind the scenes and what is their purpose--but the hatred that can make people willing to participate in this kind of bloody massacre will never be encountered in this life. It’s too much, and it’s often hard to hide it from the people around you.”

Master Qi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately said, "I'll go and call shopkeeper Zhao here, and then send the yamen servants to call Zhang Kai's wife and sister for questioning!"

This master Qi is quite clever, but it's a pity that he is related to the king of Beijing, otherwise Sun Shaozong really couldn't help but want to poach the wall.

Not long after, shopkeeper Zhao was brought in first.

"grown ups!"

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down on his knees, and said with a mournful face, "The little old man didn't deliberately deceive, it's really... It's been a long time, and I can't remember it clearly!"

It seems that he thought that he was called in alone because his statement was not clear enough, so he had to interrogate him again.

"I'll ask you."

Sun Shaozong said solemnly, "When did you and Zhou Bajin meet?"

"This……"

Shopkeeper Zhao looked up at Sun Shaozong in surprise, then hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The little old man and his father have known each other since they were young, and this week's eight catties can be said to be grown up by the little old man."

It turned out to be a family friend!

Sun Shaozong was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Then you should know, what disaster happened to his family?"

"How does your lord know that something bad happened in his family?"

Shopkeeper Zhao wondered, "Bajin never mentions this to anyone."

"What are you talking about!"

Wei Ruolan scolded impatiently from the side, "Quickly tell me what disaster happened to his family!"

Shopkeeper Zhao shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly told the past of the Zhou family.

But it turned out that during the Lantern Festival six years ago, Zhou Bajin's father took Zhou Bajin and his young brother to the Lantern Festival.

Because Zhou Bajin was playful and caused trouble, he accidentally knocked over his stall. Zhou's father was busy apologizing to the stall owner, and forgot to take care of the youngest son. As a result, Zhou Bajin's younger brother was abducted by two foreign women. There is no sound.

After Zhou's father returned home, he and his wife almost turned against each other. In the end, he ran away from home in a fit of anger, and traveled around the world looking for his youngest son. Since then, there has been no news of him!

Zhou's mother lost her son and husband one after another, and she became ill from depression and died two years later.

Later, shopkeeper Zhao thought of his affection and took in Zhou Bajin, who was only 14 years old at the time, and recently let him be the big man of this old Longsheng store.

Although I have only heard the past of Zhou's family, I can't confirm the situation of other people, but the truth is already coming out...

slap~

Wei Ruolan slapped the square table, gritted her teeth and cursed, "You deserve to be killed! Good job!"

Shopkeeper Zhao was taken aback by him again, and hastily kowtowed, "The little old man didn't lie to my lord, please forgive me!"

"Okay, okay, Master Wei is not talking about you."

Sun Shaozong waved his hands with a sinking face, "You go down first."

After Shopkeeper Zhao withdrew in fear, Sun Shaozong couldn't help sighing again, "Nowadays, the only people who can make people from different parts of the world share a common hatred, and who are willing to take risks with their own lives, are indeed the only ones who have lost their conscience."

"do not care!"

Wei Ruolan suddenly got up again and said, "No matter what happens in the end of this case, I will write a letter asking His Majesty to pardon them!"

This guy still has some blood in his heart.

"There's no need to pardon you. The law of this court does not encourage blood relatives to take revenge." Sun Shaozong shook his head first, and then said, "However, lenient treatment as appropriate is the meaning of the question."

Chapter 345 The Mysterious Event of the Old Longsheng Store 【The Truth】

"Woooooo... The old man originally lived in Cangzhou Mansion. He took his grandson to watch the lion dance on the street during the Yang Festival five years ago. Who would have thought that he would be stopped by those villains who killed thousands of knives and kidnapped him while he was arguing with him?" My dear grandson!"

"I lost my grandson, and I didn't dare to go home to see my wife and children, so I wandered all over the place. I searched for it for more than a year, but there was no news at all."

"Later, I got seriously ill in Tongzhou and almost lost my life. It was only thanks to the doctors and medicines given by the Taoist friends of Qingyun Temple that I managed to survive. Since then, I have become a monk in Qingyun Temple."

"It is said that I am a monk, but I... I have never forgotten my family in my heart! Woooooo..."

But Sun Shaozong and others waited for Zhang Kai's wife and sister in the old Longsheng store. After questioning, it turned out that the only daughter of Zhang Kai and his wife was also abducted four years ago.

In this way, three of the five people have a common hatred, which is enough to prove that there is a possibility of covering each other in their confessions.

So Sun Shaozong made a decisive decision and re-examined Zhou Bajin, Zhang Kai and others, first pointing out their doubts about their "too deep memory", and then revealing the secret of their relatives being abducted and trafficked.

Unexpectedly, when the mention of 'relatives were abducted', the scene suddenly became a 'complaint conference'!

Daoist Li couldn't control his emotions here, and poured out tears of the past, while Wang Ergou, the waiter at the restaurant over there, was not to be outdone, and knocked his head on the ground against the sound of the mountain, crying, "My lord, my lord Qingtian! My villain!" Although the family was hit by a disaster, but there are still some floating wealth around, originally I wanted to wait for the flood to recede, and then go back to my hometown to live in peace."

"Who would have thought that those thieves who killed thousands of knives would take my wife and daughter away while the villain was out buying food!"

"The villain inquired all the way to the border of Zhuozhou, and heard that there was a woman who had thrown herself into the river. She was similar in appearance and figure to my wife, so the villain hurried over to identify it."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...it turns out to be my wife!"

"My wife was famous for her talent and beauty, but... she was tossed by them without a piece of good meat, and... soaked in the water... for three days and two nights, If you take it out, it's... not a human anymore!"

I heard from the two of them that one was more miserable than the other, not to mention that Zhang Kai, his wife and Zhou Bajin felt the same way, even the shopkeeper Zhao beside him was also in tears.

Wei Ruolan even stomped her feet several times and scolded bitterly, even saying that the six people would die less than ten thousand times, and it would be cheap to cut out their hearts and lungs.

Although Sun Shaozong and Master Qi also looked sideways at him, but after all, they are all old criminal names, and they have seen countless tragedies in the world, so they can barely hold on.

After the people suffered a lot, and their emotions stabilized a little, Sun Shaozong said, "According to what you said just now, these villains have not only kidnapped and sold young children many times, but even murdered them. If you find out about their Immediately report the whereabouts to the government, and these villains will surely die!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Originally, he could have been punished in a fair and honest manner, but why did you wait so hard to commit suicide?!"

The fan is also like five people kneeling on the ground, you look at me, I look at you, and finally that Zhou Bajin said angrily, "There are people behind those villains, and we ordinary people don't have solid evidence in our hands. How can we sue?" Pour them down?!"

"That's right!"

Zhang Kai interjected, "I heard that some big families like to buy beautiful boys and girls from them for... for... woo woo woo, my poor daughter!"

Sun Shaozong frowned, and asked again, "Is there any evidence for your accusation?"

"Correct!"

Wei Ruolan continued to jump aside and said, "Quickly say it! After all, that Wang Bazi is their backer, so I will go and get him!"

Both Zhou Bajin and Zhang Kai were at a loss for words, obviously there was no proof, but Zhang Kai still stuck his neck and said, "If you say that they don't have the support of the backstage, how come they have been rampant in Hebei and the capital for several years without seeing the government?" Capture them?!"

"Bold!"

Master Qi stared at him, and scolded, "How do you know that the government didn't arrest you? Mr. Sun solved several abduction cases when he served as Xing Mingtong last year, and saved nearly a hundred young children!"

Zhang Kai is also going all out now, ignoring how Zhang Zhoushi is pulling at the side, still sticking his neck and saying, "I don't care about others, I only know that these villains are very happy!"

"you!"

Master Qi flicked his sleeves angrily, and said, "It's really unreasonable! There are more than a million people in this capital? No matter how brilliant Sun is, it is inevitable that there will be a few fish that slip through the net..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Zhang Kai argued again, "Then why it's not other people who missed it, but these beasts who killed thousands of knives?!"

"you you you……"
