After Meng Xing read it, he handed the file to Princess Yangping and asked her to also understand the case.
Mr. Zhong said: "Mr. Meng, there is no clue to this case, and there is no evidence left at the scene. What do you think after reading this file?"
The file was very simple, and it was a bit difficult to express my thoughts. However, Capt. Zhong also wanted to see if there was anything special about the other party, and whether he was really good at solving cases as Zhou Jingyun said.
Meng Xing pondered for a while and said: "The file says that the other two students had sharp weapons thrown into their backs, which means that these two students died unknowingly and died from a sneak attack, and they died earlier than Ding Hai."
"Yes." Mr. Zhong said: "The blood stains on their bodies are relatively solid and black, and the faces of the two people have shocked expressions, and they will not close their eyes until death."
"How far apart are two people?"
"Nearly two feet away, they were reading at night by candlelight, each sitting at one end of the yard." Zhong Taotou said.
"This shows that the person who took action must be a monk in the cultivation system, not an ordinary person. Ordinary people cannot kill two people without alerting others. The surrounding residents heard the screams and did not come out to report the crime.
Right?" Meng Xing said.
"Yes." Zhong Baotou said with some surprise, because Meng Xing's judgment was completely correct.
"The resident said that the screams were so small that he didn't realize that someone was being killed. It wasn't until we went to inquire in the morning that he realized that the screams were from someone being killed," he added.
"Well! If he realizes it and reports the crime immediately, the murderer will definitely not be able to escape," Meng Xing said.
"So, this means that the scream was made by Ding Hai who died last. And the other two people had their mouths covered by him when they died."
"To be able to do this in such an instant, what level of cultivation do you think this person is?" Meng Xing asked.
"It means that this person is at least above the eighth-level phase condensation realm." Zhou Jingyun said.
"Yes. So, based on this, my ninth-grade Pulse Opening Realm strength can completely eliminate suspicion." Meng Xing said, giving Xing Yixuan a meaningful look.
Everyone kept nodding. But Mr. Zhong was a little shocked. He didn't expect Meng Xing to be able to judge the cultivation level of the murderer based on just this bit of information.
"I didn't do it, what do you think I did?" Xing Yixuan said angrily.
"I didn't say it was you who did it. I just thought it would be impossible for you to pin this crime on me." Meng Xing said calmly.
"I didn't say it was you who did it, I just said you were suspicious." Xing Yixuan argued.
"Oh, that's good. But now it seems that your cultivation level is in the seventh-level god refining realm, so you are the most suspicious." Meng Xing said.
Xing Yixuan snorted and said nothing.
He knew that if he argued with Meng Xing, he would definitely suffer a loss, as the other party's sharp teeth and sharp tongue could make people angry to death.
Meng Xing changed the topic and said: "And when that person didn't kill Ding Haishi immediately, he must have had a conversation with Ding Haishi. This shows that he knew Ding Haishi and wanted to know something."
Everyone nodded, feeling that Meng Xing's analysis was very reasonable. When he analyzed the case, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. This ability is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
Zhuo Lingyan's eyes shone with admiration, and Princess Yangping also looked thoughtful. She was thinking, what would happen if she were to analyze it herself?
"That person started killing people only after questioning him. Moreover, he was confident of escaping, so he did not cover Ding Haishi's mouth."
"If you are a master of the Condensation Realm, if you are discovered by the masters patrolling the Royal Guards and Soul Angels, can you be so confident in escaping?" Meng Xing asked.
"Impossible! If he is a master of the Condensation Realm and is discovered by the masters patrolling the guards and soul angels, he will definitely not be able to escape." Zhou Jingyun said firmly.
"And if this person dares to be so bold, either he is extremely familiar with the surrounding environment and is very familiar with the patrol time of the imperial guards and soul angel masters, and can avoid the pursuit of officials, or his cultivation is above the seventh-level god refining realm, and he can
Escape in a very short period of time." Meng Xing analyzed calmly.
"So, we only need to track down the murderer in these two aspects."
Everyone nodded immediately, with expressions of admiration in their eyes. Just by relying on the files, they were able to analyze so many things and narrow the scope of the investigation a lot.
Zhong Captou's desire to test Meng Xing was gone. He just felt that under the other party's analysis, this clueless case became simpler and clearer.
If he were asked to analyze it, he would definitely not think of these points.
Solving crimes in this era, without surveillance or anything like that, is like finding a needle in a haystack, it all depends on luck.
"Next, let's analyze the purpose of that person when he killed Ding Hai and the three people. What do you think his purpose was?" Meng Xing asked.
"I think they may want to put the blame on Meng Chunhui, a student of Qingfeng College, so that a more powerful conflict will break out between the Imperial College and Qingfeng College." Zhong Captou said.
Everyone nodded, this is probably the clearest purpose.
Meng Xing took a cup of tea and took a sip, thought for a moment, and said, "Before the conflict broke out between Ding Haishi and Meng Chunhui, it was Ding Haishi who made the first move, right?"
"Yes. I asked Meng Chunhui, and it was Ding Hai who grabbed him first and accused him of plagiarizing his poems." Zhong Baotou said.
"In this way, someone instigated Ding Haishi to go out and cause trouble, and the person who instigated it must be the person who killed him. The other party's motive for killing may be to intensify the conflict again, but Ding Haishi did not complete the task he ordered
, there is also the risk of exposing him, so this person chose to kill and silence him." Meng Xing said.
"Yes. In the morning when the students from the Imperial College found out that they were dead, they gathered many people and went to Qingfeng Academy to cause trouble and asked Qingfeng Academy to hand over the murderer. We took Meng Chunhui away and those students gave up." Zhong Captou
said.
"This person's purpose may be to create an endless conflict between the Imperial College and Qingfeng Academy, and then cause great disputes in the court." Princess Yangping said, her eyes a little cold.
Most of the officials in the imperial court came from the Imperial College and Qingfeng Academy. If there was a conflict between these two institutions, the imperial court would probably fall into a huge conflict.
"This person's intentions are extremely sinister!"
Meng Xing said: "I think this may be just one of the purposes. This murderer may also have other purposes."
"Other purposes?" Everyone looked at him.
"I haven't thought of this purpose yet, it's just an intuition." Meng Xing said.
"Then what should we do next?" Zhong Captou asked.
"Go to the crime scene and see if there are any clues. Just looking at the files, we can't see any other problems." Meng Xing said.
Zhong Captou said with admiration: "Mr. Meng, you can analyze so much based on the files. It can be seen that you are indeed much better at solving cases than us."
Meng Xing smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "Let's go to the crime scene together."
Everyone then walked out of the government office, got on the horses prepared by the government officials, and walked toward the outer city.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived outside a house on Xixiang Street in the outer city.
