Yue Yuqi already knew that Duan Fei was furious because of his torture of Guang Dansong. There must have been a five-finger mountain left on the left side of his face that was covered by white cloth. In addition, Duan Fei was strictly prohibited from touching that
Thirteen masters are strictly prohibited from approaching the Wang family's old house. If Duan Fei hadn't been sent by Yangzhou Tongpan, he would have been kicked out of Hai'an Town. Now he has received a difficult task. Mr. Shi asked him to
Search Haian Town within a few days to find the suspicious person.
This is indeed an arduous task. The size of Hai'an Town is almost close to that of a small county, with a population of more than 10,000 and several thousand households. It is not an easy task to search the whole town. Therefore, although Mr. Shi is very annoyed,
But we still tried our best to arrange manpower for Duan Fei.
When everyone came outside the store, Duan Fei called Chief Yan, Deputy Chief Wang and Deputy Chief Li who were transferred from another county. The four discussed in a low voice for a while, and then the three of them each brought a few
We all went to work separately.
There were six people beside Duan Fei, including Lian Yue Yuqi. Under the leadership of Duan Fei, they first found several Li Zheng nearby, and then with the help of Li Zheng, they searched house to house.
In the Ming Dynasty, Li Zheng was the largest at the county level and below. Li Zheng was basically held by local prominent landlords, squires or people who had served as officials. Each Li Zheng was basically responsible for the management and tax collection of a hundred households. Who
They knew very well how many people lived in the house. As the saying goes, the county magistrate was not as good as the current ones. The people were as afraid of Li Zheng as the street vendors in later generations were afraid of the urban management. As soon as Li Zheng knocked on the door, the search went smoothly.
Duan Fei discovered that several people in the village were surnamed Wang, and they were all nephews or close relatives of Wang Dequan. The surname Wang was not a common surname in Hai'an Town, which shows that the Wang family was unique in the economy and politics of Hai'an Town.
Duan Fei was very patient. Although he stopped speaking personally after asking a few questions, the questions were limited to those few. Just let Shi Bin and Guo Wei take turns to take charge. Duan Fei was also wearing a policeman's uniform, so it was just right.
Hide nearby and observe the changes in the demeanor of the person being questioned.
"Are there any outsiders staying at home?"
"Has anything been lost at home in the past two months? Has any food been lost?"
"Have you seen anyone new wandering around in the past two months?"
…
These questions and the order of questioning were all drawn up by Duan Fei. There was even one at the end that required the residents to destroy the food they couldn't finish every day immediately until the government notified them. This is what Duan Fei is planning to do in Hai'an Town.
Implement the dragnet and three-light policy.
Mr. Shi and the others had carried out two or three large-scale raids before, so that hotels and hostels were afraid to receive strangers from outside. The possibility of the murderer staying in the inn for a long time was zero. Haian Town said it was not big, so we had to find someone.
It's easy to hide in a hiding place, but if a stranger appears on the street every day to buy food, someone will definitely notice his presence. If no one notices, then the only way for the murderer to stay in Hai'an Town for a long time is to hide here and there piecemeal.
Steal something and eat it.
Those questions almost completely included the possibilities. After thinking about it, even Yue Yuqi, who was very unhappy with Duan Fei, couldn't help but look at him with admiration again.
The news was compiled bit by bit, while Duan Fei took a hand-drawn sketch of Haian Town and made notes on it.
The picture was drawn by Duan Fei himself, and the duck feather pen he was holding in his hand was an improvised duck feather pen. Yue Yuqi, who was looking at these two things with nothing to do, had eyes full of curiosity.
"Brother Fei, can you find the murderer by drawing these small circles?" Yue Yuqi asked in surprise as he saw more and more small circles on the picture.
"Of course!" Duan Fei said confidently: "Each small circle represents a place where the murderer has appeared before. In some places, he has even appeared two or three times. Through the number, density and time of occurrence of these small circles, and then combined with
By comparing the time when the murder occurred, you can get quite a lot of information."
"I still don't understand." Yue Yuqi said.
Duan Fei explained: "In this way, this area with relatively dense circles means that the murderer has been active in that area. He may have been hiding nearby during that time. For example, the food in this tavern has been stolen five times, and other incidents have been stolen many times.
The places where food thefts occur are famous snack shops and pubs. Sometimes the murderer even steals food in broad daylight. After eliminating accidental factors, these clues may indicate that the murderer is greedy. In addition, have you noticed it? Except for these hotels and restaurants
, the theft of food from ordinary households is concentrated in a certain period of time... This shows that the murderer may have been active around here during this period, and after this period of time, he moved. The murderer must be very cautious..."
Duan Fei looked up somewhere and said with a smile: "Based on the clues I have obtained so far, I probably already know where the murderer is hiding in late February...Shi Bin!"
Shi Bin agreed and walked over. Duan Fei thought for a while and then said: "Immediately inform Mr. Shi that Master Yuanzheng and Taoist Master Qingxu have been invited to meet Yan Captou in the north of the town and tell Yan Captou that the young man was
The hollow area surrounded by circles is where the murderer is hiding, and I believe there will be a more eye-catching tower there..."
Yue Yuqi asked curiously: "Brother Fei, how do you know the murderer is in the north of the town? Don't you need to invite experts to go to the east and west of the town?"
Duan Fei waved his hand to him, and then whispered to Shi Bin: "By the way, I would like to ask that person to go and have a look, and let him hide in the dark and wait for his move..."
Shi Bin responded and left, Yue Yuqi said dissatisfied: "Brother Fei, don't you even believe me?"
Duan Fei chuckled and patted his shoulder, saying: "It's better not to know so much about some things. I don't want to hide it from you, it's just a professional habit, haha, just a professional habit."
Yue Yuqi curled his lips and said: "Humph, you are trying to excuse me. Well, originally I wanted to go to Zhenbei to help you catch the murderer. Since I am also suspected, I'd better not go."
Duan Fei looked at him deeply and smiled: "Do you really want to go?"
Yue Yuqi said: "You don't believe me anyway."
Duan Fei stretched out his hand and said: "Stretch out your right hand, I want to ask you a few questions."
Yue Yuqi stretched out his hand, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Duan Fei reached out and grabbed Yue Yuqi's wrist. Yue Yuqi was startled and jerked his hand away from Duan Fei's grasp, staring at him warily.
Duan Fei smiled and said: "If you want me to trust you, you have to trust me first. Come on, give me your hand."
Yue Yuqi hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand again. Duan Fei grabbed his wrist again, and pressed his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger on Yue Yuqi's aorta like a doctor checking his pulse, and asked: "Are you the murderer?"
Yue Yuqi was startled and said: "You are crazy, how could I be the murderer?"
Duan Fei felt his heart beat a few times, but it was his first time trying this method of judging whether he was lying, so he was not sure whether Yue Yuqi was panicked or surprised. He smiled and said, "You can only answer yes.
Or not, this is a lie test, as long as you can pass it I will believe you."
Yue Yuqi took a breath, nodded, and said, "I understand, come on."
"Are you the murderer?" Duan Fei asked again.
"No." Yue Yuqi answered firmly.
"Do you know who the murderer is?"
"have no idea."
"May I have your name?"
"Yue Yuqi."
"Where are you from?"
"My hometown is Dengzhou."
"Do you have any relatives at home?"
"Gone."
"Did you lie?"
"No."
"How old are you?"
"Fifteen."
"Did you frame the blood stains on Guang Dansong's body?" Duan Fei stared into Yue Yuqi's eyes... dd
