Facing the first murder case in Beihai Town, Zhao Xin was actually a little excited. He also wanted to play detective. He flicked his finger and shouted: "There is only one truth."
After all, I have watched hundreds of episodes of Rice Krispies Death, but the age difference is just a bit big...
How about learning from Poirot's example, where various suspects gather together, first make threats one by one, and then tell everyone that the murderer is so-and-so? Forget it, it will be a shame if you find out.
On the other side, Yonejiro is also a little confused now; although Beihai Town does not prohibit torture to extract confessions, the key is that there are no suspects yet; he doesn't know how to investigate next.
After Chen Jishan reported the current investigation dilemma to Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin thought about it and came up with a trick, but he asked Chen Jishan to keep it secret. It could not be said that it was his idea, just that it was Chen Jishan's own idea.
Zhao Xinduo is a thief. Find someone to take the blame first, so you don't have to worry if he gets caught.
So on the day after the incident, Chen Jishan suggested that Yonejiro classify the people inside the hospital and then conduct focused investigations based on the specific circumstances. As soon as Yonejiro heard that it made sense, he did it immediately.
There are currently three types of people in Fuldan City Hospital: hospital staff, patients' families, and various types of injured patients. Among these three categories of people, the vast majority of hospital staff and managers are women, and most of these women are transferred from Beihai Town and should be relatively reliable. In this way, those who need to focus on investigation are the injured patients and their families who remain in the hospital.
At this time, Yonejiro, Chen Jishan and Qi Bingwei formed an investigative trio. They were the first to find the night watchmen on the night of the crime. After all, they were the ones who knew the hospital's night patrol habits best. Even if they were not the murderers, they should be able to provide some useful clues.
The two night watchmen on duty that night were responsible for the front and back doors of the hospital respectively. The night watchman in charge of the front door on the night of the incident had been staying with a nurse. He was also accompanied by guards every time he patrolled the hospital. At the time of the incident, He was in the concierge at the front door, as the trio had confirmed with the night's guard and other nurses.
Another night watchman was drinking and chatting with the hospital cook at the time of the incident. The cook also proved the night watchman's innocence. To the trio's dismay, both night watchmen said they found nothing unusual during their inspections.
The trio then began investigating the patient list. There are currently more than 30 patients hospitalized in the hospital, including more than 20 ordinary people, and six wounded soldiers. In addition, there are several Oroqen and Feyaka patients.
Chen Jishan followed Zhao Xinjiao's method and asked the nurses to help find all the inpatients who had difficulty moving their hands and feet and made a list; including those with broken legs, those who had just undergone surgery, and those who were unconscious. After excluding these people, there are still fifteen patients whose injuries are not very serious and do not require care.
Only then did Chen Jishan tell Yonejiro that he thought it was possible that these fifteen people would have time to come out to commit crimes and then sneak back to the ward. His move immediately impressed Yonejiro and Qihei, saying that this person was really methodical and meticulous in doing things.
So the trio then began to investigate the fifteen wards where they were located. Most of the patients said they did not hear any unusual noises on the night of the crime, and they did not go out at night.
However, when Chen Jishan came to ward No. 8 for questioning, something unexpected happened.
"You said someone didn't come back that night? Who was it?" Chen Jishan frowned habitually and asked in a deep voice.
"He's a Manchu, his name is Guoxing'a."
"Then when did he come back?"
"I came back at dawn in the morning."
"What disease does that Guo Xing'a have?"
"Oh. His right arm was broken. I heard he fell off his horse and hit a stone."
"Well, did he tell you what he did that night?"
"I didn't say that. We're not familiar with him either."
Although it was a small accident, Chen Jishan didn't think it was anything. That Guo Xing'a hadn't been in the hospital all night, so he didn't think it was the murderer.
The trio asked around but found no results, so they had to return to the police station to continue the meeting.
At this time, Yonejirochi felt that he was really in a bad time, how could he encounter such a thing. He planned to go back to Beihai Town when he was on leave in a few days. He heard that two monks were coming there and he must kowtow to them.
At noon, the security police came back one after another to have a big meal. While eating, Qi Bingwei heard from his colleagues that a disappearance case occurred in the south of the city in the morning, and the missing person was a widow.
When Qi Bingwei heard this, he immediately became interested. Widow, there might be something romantic going on. So he asked casually: "Who reported the case?"
The security policeman responsible for handling the disappearance case was named Qian, and he was a young man from Henan. Because Qihei was in a higher position than him, he put down his job and reported: "It's a woman from her group. According to the day, she was supposed to come to collect the finished shoes. But when the woman arrived at Widow Li's house, she knocked on the door and there was no one there for a long time. Yes, the woman was afraid that something might happen to Widow Li, so she reported it to the leader of the residents’ group.”
"Don't people go out in the morning?"
Xiao Qian said: "Widow Li only has a little daughter. Her husband died in a work accident the year before last and rarely goes out."
"Oh? Please tell me carefully."
After the leader of Widow Li's neighborhood group heard about it, he first asked several neighbors around him, and they all said they hadn't seen the mother and daughter in a few days. The resident group leader was unable to break in, so he sent someone to call the police.
After Xiao Qian and the others arrived, they broke in under the witness of the neighbors and found that Widow Li and her daughter were not there. The house was in a mess and there were signs of tampering everywhere; Xiao Qian also found a few drops of blood near the bedside in the east room. Make Xiao Qian feel like things are big!
After asking the neighbors, everyone said that just two nights ago they saw a man with a bandage on his arm sneaking into Widow Li's house.
Xiaoqian and the others judged that if nothing unexpected happened, the disappearance of Widow Li and her daughter should have a lot to do with this man. But after asking around, no one knew the bandaged man.
"Bang!" The rice bowl in Qi Bingwei's hand suddenly fell to the ground, spilling rice grains all over the floor. He suddenly stood up, walked to Yonejiro's office, and asked Chen Jishan: "Mr. Chen, I remember you said that Guo Xing'a had a broken arm?"
"Yes." Chen Jishan nodded.
"Is that guy wearing a bandage on his arm?!"
"Ah, I forgot to ask this."
Qihei immediately told Yonejiro about Xiao Qian's case. Yonejiro was frowning at the moment. When he heard that it was related to the hospital, he immediately became energetic and immediately ordered Qihei to bring the Guo Xinga back. If you have jujube but not jujube, let's take a shot first and try it.
Several people arrived at the hospital. When they saw Guo Xing'a, Qi Bingwei and Xiao Qian noticed the bandage on his right arm at a glance.
Faced with the inquiry, Guoxinga was secretive and refused to admit it at first. It was not until many fellow patients spoke out to expose him that he finally lowered his head and became silent. Then stop talking nonsense and take it back!
Guo Xing'a entered the interrogation room and refused to admit that he was related to Widow Li. Moreover, the neighbors around Widow Li were not sure whether it was him or not after identifying him. They only said that he was about the same size. After all, it was night when he saw him and he couldn't see clearly. appearance.
When things come to this, the only option is to resort to means.
The Beihai Town Security Police was established under the leadership of Katayama Kanbei, so the interrogation system also inherited the interrogation methods of the Edo period. Once identified as a suspect, the attack will be extremely ruthless. There is no way, torture is considered effective these days.
After more than a dozen whips were struck, Guo Xing'a screamed in agony, but still said that he was wronged. Well, Qi Bingwei started the second "scrubbing procedure" at this time.
Five triangular kneeling boards made of rough pine wood were carried in front of Guo Xing'a. At this time, even Xiao Qian showed a look of unbearability on his face.
Don't think that this is to make the suspect kneel on the washboard.
When Gohinga was being held by two security policemen and kneeling on it, two 20-kilogram stone bars were pressed on his thighs.
Qi Bingwei showed a ferocious smile at this time and said viciously: "How about it? Do you want to move?! If not, just press another one!"
At this time, Guo Xing'a was sweating all over in pain. When the third stone bar weighing ten kilograms came on, Guo Xing'a could even hear the sound of his leg bones about to break. He was extremely exhausted physically and mentally. The pain finally made Guoxinga unable to bear it anymore.
"I recruit..."
An hour later, when Yonejiro and Chen Jishan heard Qi Bingwei's report, they were shocked. Guoxing'a is a Manchu spy! Widow Li and her daughter had been killed by him, and their bodies were carried to the fields and buried by his two accomplices; and his two accomplices fled in the direction of Dongning on the second day after the incident.
As for why Guoxinga killed Widow Li and her daughter, the reason is simple: bullets.
Guoxinga came to Beihai Town last year and pretended to be a border resident to work in the livestock farm. Widow Li died because of a work-related injury, so she was assigned fifty acres of land to her name. She couldn't take care of it as a woman with a daughter, so the civil affairs department sent people to take care of it, and they would settle the food settlement with her after the autumn harvest.
Because there are not enough tractors in Fuldan City, Gohinga was sent to help drive horses to plow the fields after last year's autumn harvest. Although Widow Li does not have to work in the fields, she always has to send water and food to the fields to express her gratitude when others come to help.
Beihai Town's policy is to discourage women from becoming widows, and Widow Li is not a peaceful person either. Seeing that Guo Xing'a is young and strong, the two of them get close to each other over time. As time passed, Widow Li came to know that Guo Xing'a was from the imperial court, but she did not report her. Instead, she dreamed of becoming an official's wife in the future.
After spring, Gohinga was transferred to the hunting team to help manage the horses. At this time, news came from Ning Guta, asking him to make some guns from Beihai Town. Guo Xing'a took advantage of getting to know the people in the hunting team and took the opportunity to steal a magazine and a few rounds of bullets. Because he lived in a Datongpu dormitory with more than a dozen people, it was difficult to hide him, so he was handed over to Widow Li.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Guo Xing'a fell off his horse and was admitted to the hospital. However, he has been feeling uneasy since he entered the hospital. If Widow Li reported him, it would be a crime of beheading. So he secretly went to Widow Li's house that night to get the things back. Unexpectedly, Widow Li had a seizure that night and refused to give him the things at all. She insisted on Guo Xing'a swearing that she would marry him in the future. Be a real wife.
This made Guo Xing'a feel very angry, so he picked up a kitchen knife from the stove and killed Widow Li. Then he continued to strangle the sleeping child in the west room to death. After that, he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the bullets, and then called his accomplices to carry Widow Li and her daughter to the wild and bury them.
After working all night, Guo Xing'a didn't return to the hospital until six in the morning. Because patients often came out for a walk after the hospital opened in the morning, so no one noticed anything unusual about Guo Xing'a.
Chen Jishan briefly estimated the time and felt that he might be able to catch someone, so he immediately called Zhao Xin to report. Zhao Xin was also shocked, this is such a big deal! He immediately ordered Chen Jishan to lead a hunt and try to catch as many people as possible alive.
The disappearance case of Widow Li and her daughter has been solved, but what happened to the previous murder case in the hospital? It was obvious that Gohinga did not have the time to commit the crime.
At this time, Zhao Xin felt more and more serious that he had lost his temper, and he decided to take action personally.
In Zhao Xin's opinion, from Sherlock Holmes to Poirot with Mustache, from Seicho Matsumoto to Rice Flower Death, we have watched all the movies, TV series and cartoons, and more than once. No matter in terms of observation or logical analysis ability, I am better than these security police officers!
Unexpectedly, something happened in the hospital that night! A hunting team member who had just been injured and admitted to the hospital was almost killed.
This hunting team member encountered a bear while hunting. As a result, he was severely punished by the bear. His back was scratched with a long wound by the bear's claws. After being hospitalized, he could only sleep on his stomach.
At two o'clock in the morning, a patient in the same room heard him yelling "Who is it!"
It was this low roar that alerted the little nurse on duty. Because a murder had just occurred in the hospital a few days ago, everyone was extremely nervous. The nurse on duty took a flashlight and quickly ran into Ward No. 5 where the injured person was. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a black figure jumping out of the window and disappearing without a trace in the vast night.
The little nurse was so frightened that she let out a scream, which alerted everyone nearby. Everyone ran into Ward No. 5 and lit the lamps to take a look, only to see a dagger inserted into the back of the hunting team member and blood pouring out. After some rescue efforts, the hunting team member finally saved his life.
This made Zhao Xin so angry that he took people to the hospital immediately after the incident.
Upon arriving at the scene, Zhao Xin ordered everyone to stay away from the crime scene and not to move around casually. At the same time, he ordered the transferred company commander to look at everyone in the hospital.
He first asked the nurse for a pair of rubber gloves, and then found two shoe covers to put on. Then he entered Ward No. 5 with a large flashlight and began to investigate carefully.
Regardless of whether he could find anything, Zhao Xin still knew how to protect the crime scene.
After some inspection, Zhao Xin judged that the murderer should have invaded the ward from the corridor this time. This person must have been lying in ambush nearby, waiting until the night nurse left before taking the opportunity to sneak into the ward. But the murderer didn't expect that his target couldn't sleep on his stomach because of his back injury, so he heard the noise and called the nurse on duty with a loud shout.
The murderer was in a panic and could not return from the original route, so he was forced to jump out of the window without even having time to recover the murder weapon used in the murder. The rescuers afterward estimated that it was because the injured person screamed that the murderer was startled, and his attack was inaccurate, with the wound barely grazing his heart.
The next step is to check the murder weapon. The murderer used a dagger, 35.8 cm long, 25 cm long blade, 11.5 cm long handle, steel blade, sharp at the front and curved at the back, with a roll-shaped handle. This is a typical Qing Dynasty style weapon.
In the morning, Zhao Xin ordered Yonejiro to lead people to continue to guard the scene, and no one was allowed to walk around and destroy it. Then he sent a telegram to Beihai Town and asked Fang Hua to come to Fuldan City immediately with equipment. He decided to extract fingerprints.
