The portrait of the suspect painted by Ji Min took a little long to draw.
Because there were not many people who saw the suspect, including those who saw his back, there were seven people in total.
Moreover, these people are simply unorganized to describe.
Some people kept talking for a long time, but they could only confirm that they saw the suspect's profile. However, the suspect should have deliberately disturbed everyone and wiped his face like the bottom of a pot.
Under the sunlight, the suspect's eyes were very bright, but the size and shape could no longer be remembered!
Some people were sitting on a pony picking vegetables. When the suspect passed by, he looked up and saw a big chin!
The chin and neck are all black! I still barely remember that my cheeks were bulging! I don’t know if it’s fat or swollen!
One of them met head-on and only noticed his forehead!
This person has a big bump on the left side of his forehead, it looks like a big boil!
After all, there is not even a unified opinion on the suspect's face shape.
As a result, everyone's descriptions did not reflect particularly detailed aspects, so Ji Min was very unsatisfied when painting.
Ji Min always felt like he was a pieced together person, a bit like Zhang San's forehead, Li Si's nose, and Wang Wu's chin... such a feeling.
Seeing Ji Min thinking hard, Zhou Huan was worried that she would be too worried and hurt her body and mind, so he said with concern,
"Why don't we stop painting now, take a break and see if there are more witnesses, and then we can continue painting."
Ji Min thought it made sense, so he put down the pen in his hand.
But everyone has a common understanding of this suspect: he smells particularly bad!
It stinks!
What’s more, it’s particularly choking!
For example, the person sitting on the pony had his eyes smeared when the suspect passed by. When he looked back after rubbing the suspect, the scene in front of him became a little unclear! It took a while to get better!
When Ji Min heard this, he looked up at Zhou Huan in confusion. He remembered some detective stories that his cousin had told him before. He thought carefully and boldly asked:
"Your Majesty, is this intentional? Deliberately using this pungent smell to attract everyone's attention, thereby neglecting other aspects?"
Zhou Huanshen thought so.
While walking, I suddenly encounter a place where the smell is unbearable. I hold my breath and pass by in a hurry, not caring about admiring the picturesque scenery! Not to mention the rush and panic here!
Ruiting said again,
"This murderer actually acted very quickly. After he stabbed the shop owner and his wife to death, he escaped without taking the money on the cabinet or the precious hairpin on the head of the wife. He seemed to be seeking revenge! You may think it's strange. At this time, there was no one else in the store! There was a waiter in the store who happened to have a stomachache when he woke up that morning. He ran to the toilet over and over again, and each time took longer! Later, his legs became weak! When he finally returned, he held on to the wall. In front, I saw the shop owner and his wife sitting on stools, and there was a pool of blood under their bodies and on the ground!"
Ji Min always felt something was strange, so he asked,
"What did Wu Zuo say?"
Zhou Huan said,
"After the autopsy, Wu Zuo said that the shop owner and his wife had several wounds on their bodies, mainly on the abdomen and inner thighs, but the strange thing is that none of them were fatal. The couple actually bled to death!"
Ji Min frowned,
"There is really no way to explain this. When the murderer suddenly broke in, he killed the first person by accident and was unprepared. Then didn't the other person see it? Didn't he shout? When the murderer ran towards the other person, When the time comes, he doesn't hide? Doesn't he struggle? Let him chop and kill?"
Ruiting also frowned and said,
"I don't know. In short, the couple showed no signs of struggle. They seemed to be at the mercy of others, letting the murderer do whatever he wanted."
Ji Min looked at Zhou Huan,
"Did you use drugs?"
Zhou Huan nodded slightly,
"I thought about it this way, because the two of them had no expressions of pain, fear, or despair. They seemed to be very peaceful!"
Ji Min recalled in a daze that in his previous life, he had heard people discussing this case at the Marquis Mansion in Huai'an.
It is said that the shop owner’s son later accused a relative of the shop owner’s family of killing the shop owner and his wife.
This relative was said to be his cousin.
Because her husband passed away, she came to the capital to join her son.
But after arriving in the capital, I found out that my son had disappeared a few years ago.
The cousin had nowhere to go, so she stayed at their home.
The shopkeeper's son said that his aunt had taken care of his uncle in his hometown, and had asked the shopkeeper and his wife to take care of their son who was studying in the capital. However, she did not expect that after she came to the capital, she found that there was no trace of her son, and she did not know whether he was alive or dead.
The cousin was very sad and asked the shop owner and his wife why they concealed the matter.
The shop owner and his wife said confidently,
"We have been sending people to search, spending money to look after the yamen, and looking after the three religions and nine schools. Although there has been no good news, there has been no bad news! We are not afraid that you will take care of your cousin. It is already stressful, and if you are hit again, it will make it worse! You can say that everything What if you two are gone and the eldest nephew comes back?"
The shop owner’s son said that his aunt was still very angry and had many complaints against the shop owner and his wife. The aunt must have had a grudge and killed the shop owner and his wife!
However, Dali Temple was still an official of the Ministry of Punishment at that time. During the interrogation, it was discovered that first, the cousin had no time to commit the crime.
Because, when the murderer ran out, the cousin was eating wontons at a wonton stall dozens of meters away from the silk shop. She planned to go back to the shop after eating the wontons.
Secondly, the wounds on the shop owner and his wife were not something that a weak woman could stab in a short time.
Besides, there is no way that the shop owner and his wife would let her succeed even if they resisted.
In addition, the cousin also admitted that she had hatred towards the shop owner and his wife, and her son was not killed by the shop owner and his wife.
Although she was dissatisfied, she was not to the point of murder.
It is said that after comprehensive consideration, the presiding officer found that the evidence was insufficient, so he sent the cousin back to her place of origin.
Unexpectedly, this case would fall into Zhou Huan's hands.
It's just that when Ji Min listened to Ruiting and Zhou Huan describing the case, Ji Min had a lot of doubts.
For example, why did the shop owner and his wife die like this?
At present, it seems that it is definitely not suicide, but how can we make the shop owner and his wife surrender obediently?
Ji Min suddenly remembered a case that Ji Jun once told her, so she said,
"Your Majesty, I remember my cousin once told me about some strange cases. She said that there are some places or some people who can use some skills to make people lose their minds, such as what Liu Bisheng, the Marquis of Huai'an, did. Or Guaguai The earth is at his mercy, like a puppet. There is also a technique or magic, or magic, that can confuse people's minds. Even if they are in extreme pain, he not only does not feel the pain, but on the contrary, he may use this pain to produce some The pleasant feeling, I don’t know if it has something to do with it.”
Ji Min's eyes were pure and clear, and his tone was calm and clear, just like Zhou Huan's successful detective or police officer who was doing an ordinary case analysis and narration.
Zhou Huan's eyes flashed with a hint of relief and amazement, and his heart suddenly seemed to pause for a moment, then quickly jumped again.
"You have thought so much about this case, are you tired?"
Ji Min smiled warmly,
"Fortunately, as long as I can help you, I can help Dali Temple."
The few calm and natural words turned into a silent warm current that moistened things, gurgling into Zhou Huan's heart.
Zhou Huan wanted to say something, but when he saw Ji Min, he bent down again to draw the portrait.
Zhou Huan's heart trembled, remembering that someone had suggested that the Holy Emperor should use Zhu Youshu to hypnotize Ji Min in order to obtain secrets.
Perhaps there is something valuable in this case.
In the private room of Zuihuayin, the largest restaurant in the capital, Li Fanling and the sisters from the Ji family gathered together, chatting about the flower-viewing feast.
Suddenly, I heard a woman scolding from outside,
"You ladies are selling food yourself, why do you come here? Oh, yes, you know that what you make is not on the market. You have made enough money, so why don't you come here to see it?"
Guan Jingqiu!
Ji Jun's face suddenly darkened, and Li Fanling and Ji Min also suppressed their smiles, feeling very angry.
Just listen to Shaoyao Road,
"I said Miss Guan, are you blind? Or are you deaf? Oh! That's right! It's a sore on your stomach and pus on the back of your neck! To be honest, from the beginning of Pangu, the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors to now, fools have been yearning every year. Yes, you are the only one today! Are you here to eat or smoke?"
Li Fanling found that she had to listen carefully and pay attention to Shaoyao's words, otherwise she would really not be able to follow Shaoyao's ideas!
Guan Jingqiu was furious,
"You are such a lawless maid, come on, slap me!"
"Bang!" The door was pushed open hard, and Ji Jun and three others appeared at the door.
Guan Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, and then said to the maid next to her,
"Do it!"
When the maid heard this, she stepped forward and raised her hand to hit him!
Ji Min was shocked!
This maid is the tall and strong maid with the snake in her hand whom she met in Chen Guogong's Mansion!
This is when enemies meet, they are extremely jealous, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge!
I saw that Shaoyao didn't panic, squatted down, and missed his palm!
The maid couldn't stop and reached out to grab Peony, but Peony blocked her!
Just hearing the maid say "Oh", she took several steps back!
Everyone took a closer look, okay!
One hand is dripping with blood!
There are rows of small wolf fang thorns on Shaoyao's arms!
They have wrist and elbow pads, but Peony has covered both arms with spikes!
cut! At the beginning, we were not prepared and pushed you Guan Jingqiu down the well.
This time, I think there is no well. You are not afraid, right?
Ji Jun looked at it and shook his head!
He smiled innocently and said to Guan Jingqiu,
"Miss Guan, tell me, can you think of something positive and progressive? For example, cultivate a high-yielding grain so that people all over the world can have enough to eat! Or, think of an object that can automatically Sew the pieces of cloth together so that sisters all over the world don’t have to work day and night to sew stitches and make them dizzy. If you can solve these two problems, I admire you! But, look at you now , even my maids look down on you! Bah! Shame on you!"
