An official in a vermilion robe waved his hand and shouted loudly:
"At the scene where I, Jingzhao Mansion, are handling the case, when will it be my turn, irrelevant people will come and meddle indiscriminately."
"Li Canjun, be careful what you say!"
Someone immediately scolded: It was Guo Chongtao, one of the highest-ranking imperial censors present.
"This gentleman is the co-organizer of my office at Yushitai. He has even co-handled several major and important court cases. How can we tolerate criticism?"
"Li Canjun and Mr. Jiang's abilities have been witnessed by my fellow disciples on the right street and even by General Zheng Lang. Naturally, we can rest assured."
Another Jinwu Street envoy judge Li Chonggu who was present also spoke up:
"Li Canjun, what do you mean?"
Then someone came over and sneered:
"Such a big thing has happened in Pingkang Beili. You can't figure it out even if you are called here. Why don't others be allowed to investigate? Is there anything else you can say?"
"Then... forgive me for not being able to accompany you!"
Li Canjun couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this, because the last person who spoke was surprisingly Liu Wenzhi, the head of the East City Department of Taipu Temple and the head of Pingkang Sanli. Although he was only an official of the eighth rank, he was an authentic
He was an internal official. However, the next moment, he pretended to be angry and waved his sleeves and left.
However, after he walked out with an indignant look on his face, he came to a carriage without any markings, and then he lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully:
"Please report back to your superiors. There is really nothing I can do for you."
"What a waste. You can't even move a former prisoner. It's a waste of time to push you to fill the vacancy of the Dharma Cao!"
In the end, the carriage had no choice but to throw out such a female voice, and then kicked off and left.
It wasn't until the carriage completely disappeared at the corner of the street that Li Chonggu raised his head and turned around, showing a faint sneer and a mixture of contempt, but he quickly calmed down. Then someone came forward to ask for instructions:
"Cao Zheng, what should we do now?"
"Of course, just do whatever you have to do! Business is business, do you understand?"
Li Canjun said a little impatiently:
"Then, what should we do with the instructions from above?"
A subordinate asked carefully:
"An explanation is an explanation. Are you asking me to go against the Censor, Jinwu and Taipusi for a little bit of their comradeship?"
Li Shenjun was even more angry and said:
"What about us?"
The subordinate asked again:
"Of course I can't come forward, but don't we still have you?"
Li Shenjun said with a worried expression:
"Of course I will send someone to keep an eye on it and report any trouble to me at any time. I also want to see what step the disaster star that caused the Jingzhao Mansion and half of it collapsed can take."
At the same time, Jiang Tian, the disaster star mentioned by Li Canjun, was also invited to another crime scene, the Wuyun Building where the first murder occurred. As for the various objects and traces inside the tragic murder scene,
The man who had already arrived had surveyed and marked it.
Various people who escaped from the same floor were also intercepted and controlled from the outside, and were initially interrogated. Therefore, as a half-hearted mystery and suspense enthusiast in later generations, Jiang Tian could not have lived longer than these.
Officials handling criminal cases behave more professionally and with more experience.
Therefore, when there was no response from the portable system, he could only go through the motions and pretend to focus on checking the first-hand records of the on-site investigation and autopsy; at the same time, he asked several workers about the general circumstances of the death of the specific person.
Time and sequence.
In fact, they immediately found the murder weapon abandoned and hidden in the corners and crevices based on the residual blood stains; and based on the position of the body lying sideways and the angle of the injury, they initially judged the height and approximate strength of the perpetrator, and restored
The process of being attacked.
But for the investigators, the biggest problem they are facing now is that the doors and windows in this residence are closed from the inside out and sound as before; there are no signs of damage or disassembly, and the shape is
A closed environment similar to a secret room murder.
Therefore, they more suspected that the crime was committed by insiders; at least it was the result of the crime committed by someone who was very familiar with the crime. Because there were more than a dozen corpses, all of which were killed without any precautions.
They were stabbed to death one after another, or their throats were cut; but there were almost no sounds heard outside.
There was no loss of property checked at the scene, and even some jewelry and money notes chained in the bed cabinet had not been touched; it did not look like an ordinary means of killing people and stealing goods. Therefore, it was initially determined to be deliberate.
And he is familiar with the internal situation of vendetta.
Therefore, the target of suspicion inevitably falls on the only woman/concubine who survived to call for help. I believe that if no more clues are found in the coming time, the focus of the investigation will be
Naturally, she was suspected of committing the murder inside and outside.
Therefore, before Jiang Tian was invited to the scene, the person on duty at the garden, known as Niangzi Guanguan, also made a special trip to greet and visit for a while. In addition to expressing some kind of apology and extreme gratitude, he was willing to do his best to cooperate with everything needed.
At the same time, it also hinted that he hoped to help the concubine and clear away the charges and suspicions.
After all, as one of the few mid-to-high-end entertainment venues located in Pingkang-ri, if there is such an incident of killing guests by cooperating inside and outside, even the mere rumor of suspicion is enough to cause a fatal blow. Jiang Tian naturally cannot deny it, but
Nor did he reject the other party directly.
Because before, the woman who inexplicably hid in the small building where she was was sent to frame him or cause trouble for him. Even so, Jiang Tian’s first suggestion was to let people stay in the building.
Wind lanterns were hung outside, lighting up the huge courtyard and outer walls.
When it comes to ordinary murder scenes, he cannot be more professional than the officials he has dealt with all year round; but his imagination and imagination about secret room murders are unmatched by these ancients. Then, Jiang Tian, who was originally doing errands,
, I found some clues and clues.
Above the window that had been temporarily ignored by the on-site inspection, Jiang Tian discovered a fresh friction mark due to the angle of light from the outside; then, following this mark to the outer wall, he found more dust quilts.
Scratched and rubbed areas.
As a result, most of the so-called secret room murder mystery has been solved; the murderer who was familiar with many victims and was able to make them unprepared to be killed escaped from the window sill. But the direction of his escape was not downstairs.
And it was lifted up to the upper level by rope traction.
Then, pull it through the live rope loop knotted in the window case and close it again; then pull the other end to loosen it and take it away. Even if you pull hard, it will still inevitably stay on the edge of the wooden window case.
There were only small traces of strangulation, not to mention the half-footprint left by the force of stepping on the outer wall panel when climbing up.
And when things have reached this point, there is no need for Jiang Tian to be too troublesome. These traces left on the outer wall, those related people who claim to be eating this bowl of rice, etc., if no possible suspects can be found, it will really be a big problem.
There is just no cure.
Therefore, on the upper floor of Wuyun Tower, there was a lot of violent movement and the people were amazed or seeing a ghost, surprised or complicated in their eyes; Jiang Tian was invited again.
