Chapter 37
Zhou Xian looked at Chi Shi's bright eyes and suddenly felt like he was about to ascend to heaven.
The eyes were so sincere, as if he could not recognize one of them, but suddenly he won the top scorer. The person who had ignored him can only look up to him. This feeling of turning over the salted fish makes people feel so happy.
As soon as he was born, he was nine thousand years old. This kind of expansion was the first time he was born.
Chi Shi underestimated him before, he was just a slap!
He thought about it, and glanced at Chi Shi again, but saw that the shiny look suddenly became a little meaningful.
Zhou Xian's heart skipped a beat, and his hand holding the fan froze. It's wrong! Could it be that there is something else in the case?
When the yamen runners in the room heard this, they could not stay there, so they rushed out one by one. The first seven cases and seven people related to the deceased may be the murderers. If all of these people were arrested for interrogation, the Lingling County Yamen would not be able to hold on.
After all, it was a county town, and there were not many yamen runners. Even the coroner Chi Huo and Jiule were dragged out to help.
Soon, in this huge room, there were only two living people in Zhou Xian and Chi Shi, plus eight corpses.
The cool breeze at night blew, the candlelight flickered and darker, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
Zhou Xian suddenly wanted to cough. He held the wall and coughed a few times, until his face turned pale. He took out a small bottle of medicine from his sleeve bag with trembling, took out a brown pill from it, and swallowed it.
"What disease did you have? Is Guanlan unable to treat you?" Chi Shi asked suddenly.
Zhou Xian did not respond, but took a few deep breaths and walked to the body of Chen County Magistrate's wife and sister. Only one of these eight corpses was known to have been poisoned, but he didn't know how she was poisoned.
"This closed loop has not been completely formed, and there is no evidence. You deliberately said so confidently, but have other plans. This case is not as simple as you think on the surface."
Chi Shi listened to Zhou Xian's rude change of topic and did not continue to ask questions.
"You discovered it," she said, blinking at Zhou Xian, "But it wasn't what I said, it was clearly what you said."
Zhou Xian put the fan speechlessly and put it back to his waist. It was really what he said! However, it was clearly what Chi Shi drew an arrow on that piece of paper, which induced him to say!
"It's all big men, why are you blinking! Don't say that the wind is strong, the dust is getting in your eyes!" Zhou Xian said a little unhappy. The more you were before, the more uncomfortable you are now.
It's like the kind of person you thought you were a salted fish, but then someone did it and said with a smile, your father is still your father!
When Chi Shi heard this, he decisively blinked at Zhou Xian again.
"The deceased Yun Niang had no obvious scars on the surface of her body, and there was black blood stasis in her ears, nose and throat, with a fishy smell. Her..." Chi Shi said, lifting the corpse's hand.
"You see this. There is a pinhole on her finger. The surroundings are black. When you first look at it, you think it is a black mole. Even if you look carefully, you will find that it is a pinhole. You will only feel that it may have been a pierced when you embroider the ground."
"This poison is so powerful. It's not something that can be sealed by blood. Unfortunately, Guanlan is not there, otherwise he would have known what poison it is." Zhou Xian said, and his heart sank.
"So, you think this case is not simply killing each other."
Chi Shi put Yunniang's hand down, nodded, and shook her head again, "Yes, no."
"This case is very inconsistent. What is the purpose of mutual assistance to kill people? It is to escape from the crime. Generally speaking, the murderer is around the deceased, and the possibility of acquaintances committing crimes is far greater than that of perverted murder or random killing people."
"So, if you are these people, you will choose to have a regular time and a regular location, which will make people realize that this is a serial murder case? No, people with a head will choose to make people die unexpectedly, so that the time interval is longer and the location is farther."
"This is the meaning of mutual assistance and murder."
Chi Shi said, pointing to the arrow she drew, "And, have you discovered that Mrs. Xiu was killed first, and then the people around Mrs. Xiu used their identity to approach Li Debao and poison Li Debao. This order is one after another, too regular."
With so many people, why don’t they disrupt the murder and interfere with the government’s sight, but forcefully connect...
Zhou Xian frowned, "You mean, the person behind the scenes, deliberately let us discover it. But before you came, they didn't notice it at all."
Chi Shi shook his head, "It's just a matter of time. If I don't come, Chi Huo will not find out clearly, so he will definitely invite my grandfather to come. Moreover, it will be a matter of time before the eighth case occurs, butcher is exposed sooner or later."
There are only twenty butchers in the city, and only four are close to the county government. Now it’s too short, so Captain Zhang hasn’t found anything, but as long as he stares at them and interrogates, he will sooner or later find clues.
What's more, there was one butcher, whose wife was one of the eight dead.
"The person behind the scenes was afraid that the government would be too stupid and could not find it. So he used iron rings to force the boat that should have been rowed away and was very flexible with iron chains one by one."
"On the surface, you can deceive some people, saying that the government will think it is a serial murder case and look for such a perverted killer that does not exist. In fact, as long as the government discovers one of the links, the entire case will be connected and solved."
"And," Chi Shi said, paused, and looked at the eight corpses lying here one by one.
"Lingling is very peaceful, and there has been no such murder case in many years. These people have lived in the city for many years. They are not money, and they will be loved by others and hate them."
"But hatred cannot be formed in one or two days. Whoever is angry will say, "I have killed you, but how many people are there who really dare to kill people?"
"They have been cowardly for so long, and suddenly, they have become people who kill without blinking. Do you think this is possible? The people behind the scenes gave them this idea, but when things come to an end, not everyone can do it, not to mention that they are helping and killing people, and they are strangers who have nothing to do with them and have no hatred."
Zhou Xian listened and thoughtful, "But why can't you be too smart? The murderer is just an ordinary person and very stupid. They don't trust each other, so they have to kill the person they want to kill and be killed before he can kill the next person."
Chi Shi glanced at Zhou Xian deeply.
Zhou Xian swore that he must have seen the word "stupid" in those dark eyes.
