Lu Zhizhang did not directly answer the other party's question.
He just motioned to Ziyi Captou to follow him, and the others naturally followed him quickly when they saw this.
Lu Zhizhang then walked to a fork in the trail near the mountain forest outside the tavern before stopping.
He whispered, "Look."
Everyone was at a loss as to what Lu Zhizhang was talking about.
Ziyi's head looked towards the fork in the road with blank eyes and said, "Sir, are you saying that the gang of thieves escaped from here?"
Thinking back carefully, Lu Zhizhang seemed to have stopped at this fork in the road just now.
Afterwards, he came over specifically to check out this area.
However, if he remembered correctly, this trail seemed to be a dead end in a sense.
Because the end of it is a cliff, and below the cliff is the Weishui River. Who can go down from that place, and who dares to seek death in the Weishui River?
When Lu Zhizhang heard the guess of the detective in clothes, he looked up and saw him looking straight ahead in confusion. Knowing that the other party had obviously admitted the wrong place, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but remind him, "I didn't ask you to look in front. What you’re looking at is underground.”
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Detective Zhenyi lowered his head and looked at the ground. There was obviously a deep wheel rut in the muddy land, and the vegetation next to them was crushed by the wheels. On the ground, covered with mud.
It was obvious that a carriage had stopped here, and then this path of potholes led to the main road, towards the capital.
When Lu Zhizhang saw that Ziyi's head was finally pointing in the right direction, he couldn't help but ask the other person, "How is it? Did you see anything?"
Ziyi Cat nodded, "There used to be a carriage parked here."
Lu Zhizhang nodded and said, "Yes, these are the clues left by the murderer."
Upon hearing this, Ziyi Captou seemed to understand Lu Zhizhang's logic, but Ziyi Captou did not agree with Lu Zhizhang's point of view.
"Sir, do you mean this is the murderer's car?"
"yes?"
The Ziyi arrester immediately asked, "Sir, this is an official road, and there are so many carriages and horses passing by. How can you be sure that the carriage and horse marks here must be caused by the murderer's carriages and horses?"
Faced with Ziyi's questioning, Lu Zhizhang only said, "I'm very happy that you have a questioning spirit, but if you ask me why I am sure that this is the mark left by the murderer, then I have to tell you your last sentence." The observation is not careful enough.”
After hearing this, Ziyi Captou was naturally not convinced.
And Lu Zhizhang was not vague. After pointing out that Ziyi's head arrest was not careful enough, Lu Zhizhang also started his own analysis, "First of all, I admit that there are a lot of vehicles coming and going here, but generally at nine o'clock in the evening, there will be basically no vehicles coming here anymore. . But this car was obviously after nine o'clock or even pushed back an hour or two, but they are still on this road. Don't you think it's suspicious?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's conjecture, Ziyi Catcher couldn't help but immediately interrupted the other party's analysis: "Wait a minute, Mr. Lu, how can you infer that this carriage was still driving on the road after nine o'clock?"
When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he just turned to look at Ziyi Captou and said, "Don't you remember? It rained heavily at around eight o'clock last night. If it were normal, there would not be such deep car marks on the ground, but The ground after the rain is damp and the soil is soft, so the car's imprint is so deep."
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's analysis, Ziyi Catcher couldn't help but look at the marks left by other roads. At this moment, Ziyi Catcher had to admit that Lu Zhizhang's analysis was very reasonable.
Lu Zhizhang then continued his analysis, "The reason why I said he didn't come at nine o'clock is actually based on this reason. After all, if he came after nine o'clock, then this would not be the only mark left on the road. That’s right, so with this way, we can actually explain one thing, that is, this carriage has arrived at this time, and they have been waiting here until this group of people fell asleep, and then they started to attack people.”
"Of course, what I said is just my speculation. I think they are very suspicious. If you want to prove that what I said is reasonable,
We may still have to wait for the identification results of his work. "
However, when the Ziyi catcher heard Lu Zhizhang's analysis, he was already convinced.
"Your analysis is reasonable. I will let you do an autopsy and speculate on the results."
After hearing what Ziyi said about arresting the head, Lu Zhizhang said, "No need to bother me, sir. I just asked the man I brought here to do the autopsy."
After saying this, Lu Zhizhang went back, but when he came to an opening into the mountain, he only found that there seemed to be some muddy traces of travel.
He looked down and saw that the mud on the grass and trees was almost touching the tips of the grass and trees. This was definitely not the work of the heavy rain. He looked ahead and could still see the mud along the way.
In the mud and trampled grass and trees along this road, he could even feel that there must have been a person here running helplessly after a rainy night.
So he just unconsciously followed this path.
Ziyi didn't know why, but he could only follow Lu Zhizhang and move forward slowly.
"Master Lu, what are you looking at?" Ziyi asked.
However, Lu Zhizhang did not answer the other party's question. He just walked forward step by step along the vague mud and the footprints left by the soft soil under his feet.
There are more than one pair of footprints here, they are all chaotic but heading in the forward direction.
Then he turned to look at Ziyi Captou and said, "I remember you said that there once was a girl named Zijuan here who is still missing?"
Ziyi Cat nodded, "Yes."
Lu Zhizhang then suddenly said, "If I guessed correctly, this girl was probably chased down this road."
Then he turned around and asked the Ziyi catcher, "By the way, where does this lead to?"
Ziyi Captou sighed, and then whispered, "It's a cliff, and below the cliff is the Weishui River."
Hearing this, Lu Zhizhang sighed, but then he said, "No matter what, you should send someone to look nearby. If you still can't find it, remember to go to the Weishui River downstream to search. I It is estimated that Zijuan's body is also nearby."
Upon hearing what Lu Zhizhang said, Ziyi Captou said nothing more. He just asked his men to quickly carry out his orders.
After Lu Zhizhang gave these instructions, he returned to the yard. At this time, the man was finishing the autopsy.
"Sir, I have checked. Most of these people were killed by a single knife. There was fragrance residue in their breaths, and there was nothing abnormal except food residue in their stomachs. I think the murderer should have scented them before they died. They were covered in smoke. So they had no ability to resist. Judging from the size of the wound marks, the murderers should have wiped their necks with a long sword, and based on the wounds, it is estimated that they died about eleven or twelve hours ago."
"As for the female body, we have also examined it. She had been beaten with whips, burned, pierced with daggers, and even sexually assaulted before her death. Her final fatal cause of death was suffocation. She probably died at the same time. For about ten hours, there was no smoke between her breaths."
After hearing the other party's test results, everyone's expressions instantly became very solemn.
Who dares to guess deeply what the girl named Sun Xiangxiang went through.
After hearing the report, the little fat girl gritted her teeth and said, "Asshole! What kind of bastard wants to torture Miss Xiangxiang like this! I really don't open my eyes and let good people suffer all kinds of torture!"
After the words fell, the little chubby girl immediately looked at Lu Zhizhang and said, "Sir, if you catch the real culprit, please let them be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts. They will not die more easily than Miss Xiangxiang!"
After hearing what the little fat girl said, Lu Zhizhang didn't speak at the moment.
On the contrary, Ziyi Catcher said to the little fat girl, "What you said is not nonsense. If the master catches him, he will be brought to justice. Don't you see that the master is thinking about the case? Don't make trouble."
Hearing Ziyi Captou say this, the little fat girl naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Zhizhang just looked at the mud on Sun Xiangxiang's shoes. As he explored, he immediately
I can almost guess everything that happened last night.
First of all, it can be seen from the broken ladder in the yard that these murderers were probably discovered by Sun Xiangxiang and Zijuan when they were killing other people. Later, they may have tried to take away the little fat girl together.
However, maybe there was not enough time, or maybe the little fat girl couldn't wake up, so in the end they chose to hide each other in the pile of debris in order to escape. And it was because of this decision that the little fat girl luckily got a life.
Later, after they discovered that the murderer had entered the house, they must have tried to escape using the attic ladder rope. But when they used the ladder rope to escape, the girl named Zijuan must have been discovered by them, so the ladder rope was cut from above and the girl fell down, but the problem should not be serious.
Afterwards, they split into two groups and fled. Sun Xiangxiang probably fled towards the main road, while Zijuan fled into the forest.
After all, the weak woman Sun Xiangxiang couldn't run away from them, so she was caught by them.
Zi Juan's whereabouts must be unknown. After all, if Zi Juan is caught, the person they should torture may be Zi Juan, and the person hanging on the door should also be Zi Juan.
They couldn't catch Zijuan, so they vented their hatred on Sun Xiangxiang. They said it was to vent their hatred. In fact, it was more likely that these people were consciously torturing Sun Xiangxiang. And with such torture methods, he could almost imagine that these people must He is asking about the whereabouts of something or someone.
It's a pity that what this group of people are asking is unknown because the person involved is dead.
But if Zijuan can be found, if Zijuan is still alive, he may be closer to the truth.
As for who the murderers were, there was very little information left here. The only thing he could guess was that there was more than one murderer. This group of murderers was extremely vicious and well-organized.
