On average, the county government receives more than ten or twenty wanted documents every year, and over the past fifty years, it has accumulated nearly a thousand copies.
There was someone in the police room at this time, so Zhao Lin found an empty soap room to put down the official documents.
"Captain Zhao, how can we check so many wanted warrants?"
He Qingquan found a feather duster and dusted off the official documents.
"How to check?"
Tao Er was stunned when he saw so many wanted notices for the murderers, and his habit of hating evil resurfaced again, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Filter with keywords..."
Halfway through his words, Zhao Lin saw the two of them in a daze and explained, "Look for the words rape, murder and rape in the official documents. Then look at the time when the official documents were released and the age of the murderer. If they match, pick them out."
"We now assume that the murderer is between fifty and sixty years old, do you understand?"
"Understood." He Qingquan and Tao Erleng nodded at the same time.
Three people sat down, two checked, and one checked. It took a full two hours to sort out more than forty relevant official documents.
Zhao Lin put these official documents on the table according to the timeline, and checked the murder methods and characteristics of the criminals one by one. He completed this alone.
After the second investigation, the target was further narrowed down to only nine official documents.
These official documents are from Yanzhou, Taizhou, Wuzhou and Yingzhou to which Qinghe County belongs.
The earliest official document came from Yanzhou, thousands of miles away, and occurred in the 23rd year of Hongxi, more than thirty years ago.
Zhao Lin picked it up and read it carefully. In addition to the wanted order from the government, there was also a reward order from the Xingyun Sect.
Xingyun Sect is a large sect with thousands of people. Although it is far away in Yanzhou, Zhao Lin has heard about it.
In the world of martial arts, when the power of a sect reaches a certain level, it can participate in and influence government affairs.
The origin of the case is as follows: There was a disciple of Xingyun Sect named Wen Gensheng, who was punished by the sect for making mistakes and harbored a grudge.
On the day of the sect's celebration, he took advantage of the chaos to coax out the nine-year-old granddaughter of the law enforcement elder, raped and killed her and then fled.
Because it was discovered relatively late, when the Xingyun Sect sent people to search for him, Wen Gensheng had already escaped.
The wanted document contains Wen Gensheng's portrait, age, cultivation and physical characteristics.
"Wen Gensheng, twenty years old, second level of aura, the crime occurred in the 23rd year of Hong Xi..."
Zhao Lin muttered softly.
"It's been thirty-two years today." He Qingquan said from the side.
Zhao Lin nodded and calculated that Wen Gensheng was fifty-two years old, which was appropriate for his age.
From this point of view, it is difficult to catch him, but it is not particularly difficult.
Since Wen Gensheng was a master of martial arts and his origin was unknown, it was impossible for any sect to accept him as a disciple. At most, he would serve as a guest or a teacher in a martial arts school.
As a result, without sufficient resource supply, it would be difficult for him to improve in martial arts.
Zhao Lin estimated that Wen Gensheng's cultivation level should still be in the Qi realm.
Most of the cases on the other eight official documents occurred in Wuzhou and Taizhou. Until this year, there were no similar cases in Yingzhou.
From these official documents, Zhao Lin could roughly get a glimpse of Wen Gensheng's behavior.
After escaping Yanzhou, Wen Gensheng came to Wuzhou, changed his name to Yan Tiesheng, and worked as a teacher at a place called Tiantong Martial Arts School, dormant for five years.
However, the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Wen Gensheng committed another crime in the 31st year of Hongxi period.
The victim was a young female disciple of Tiantong Martial Arts School.
Wen Gensheng not only mutilated the female disciple, but also took away her obscene clothes. The method of committing the crime was very similar to today's.
Wuzhou Prefecture and Tiantong Martial Arts School jointly issued a wanted order and offered a reward for "Yan Tiesheng".
This was the second and last time that Wen Gensheng left his physical characteristics after committing a crime.
In the following ten years, Wen Gensheng committed a crime every few years, with increasingly sophisticated methods and shorter intervals, gradually evolving into a serial rape and murder case.
But for unknown reasons, Wen Gensheng suddenly stopped in the past ten years, and no similar cases occurred. It was not until this year that he started committing crimes again.
Despite this, he has harmed no fewer than fifty women over the years.
In order to capture him, various state capitals offered bounties ranging from a hundred taels to a thousand taels, but the biggest reward was undoubtedly the Xingyun Sect.
In order to apprehend Wen Gensheng, the Xingyun Sect offered a reward of one Runzedan and one hundred taels of gold.
"Runzedan?"
Zhao Lin's heart moved. Although he didn't know how valuable the Runze Pill was, Xingyun Sect could officially write it down in the reward, so it was definitely not an ordinary pill.
A moistening pill plus a hundred taels of gold seems like a bonus, but the moistening pill is the real reward.
Zhao Lin put away nine copies of the official documents and said to He Qingquan: "It's hard for He Lao to send the rest of the official documents back. Remember, this matter must be kept confidential!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will keep it secret."
He Qingquan agreed happily.
Although he couldn't understand Zhao Lin's case-handling methods, he roughly knew from these official documents that they were related to this case, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
It was past noon, so Zhao Lin left the county government office on the pretext of eating and went straight to Liuhe Gate.
In fact, once the case analysis reaches this point, arrest operations can already be launched.
However, the method of arrest is closely related to this Moisturizing Pill and must be understood first.
Zhao Lin's current identity is that of a police officer, and most of the credit for handling cases goes to Shangguan, that is, the county magistrate and chief arrester.
The reward on the wanted poster will also be confiscated, and he can only take a very small part.
But Xingyun Sect's reward is different. It's a bit like an open hidden flower. Whoever catches this person will get the Runze Pill and a hundred taels of gold!
If the Runze Pill was precious and of great use to martial arts, then he had to make sure to catch this person with his own hands.
"Runzedan?"
In the backyard of Liuhemen, Zhu Huaishan looked at Zhao Lin and asked, "Where did you hear this?"
Zhao Lin lined up nine official documents and placed them in front of Zhu Huaishan.
"Wen Gensheng!"
When Zhu Huaishan saw the first official document, his eyes turned red and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Lin had never seen his master lose his composure before, and he couldn't help being surprised. Then his heart tightened: Could the master have something to do with this Wen Gensheng?
He looked at Zhu Huaishan carefully, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that the master looked somewhat similar to Wen Gensheng's portrait.
Couldn't they be relatives or even biological father and son?
Zhu Huaishan noticed Zhao Lin's eyes and roughly guessed what he was thinking, and his face sank, "What are you thinking about? I can't wait to kill him with my own hands! Where is he?"
Zhao Lin knew that there was no need for his master to lie to him. After all, his strength was there. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hidden in the secret passage of Yunlai Inn."
"Let's catch him now!" Zhu Huaishan stood up and said.
"Master, wait."
Zhao Lin didn't expect his master to be more anxious than him, so he explained: "We are not familiar with the terrain, so we may suffer losses if we go in rashly. Besides, what if the secret passages extend in all directions and let him escape?"
Zhu Huaishan sighed, sat down again, and said slowly: "To tell you the truth, I am also a member of the Xingyun Sect, and Wen Gensheng is my disciple..."
Zhao Lin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zhu Huaishan continued: "Disciples of the Xingyun Sect, if they reach the Blood Realm through cultivation, they generally have two choices if they cannot go further."
"Stay in the sect and take up a job and take care of the property; or leave and branch out outside, discover young people with good qualifications, and then feed them back to the sect."
"I chose the former as my teacher. He stayed in the sect as a deacon and also accepted several apprentices who had just started, including Wen Gensheng."
"This boy is very talented and diligent in practicing, but he has an extreme temperament and often does things that are out of line. My teacher thought that he was still young and would gradually correct himself when he grew up, so he only gave me a little punishment. Unexpectedly..."
"I feel ashamed of my sect and have no face to stay, so I came to Qinghe County, hoping to cultivate a few talented disciples and make up for my previous mistakes."
There was silence.
Zhao Lin comforted him: "Master, it's not your fault. Some people are born bad and anti-social. No, they should be called ruthless personalities. They are born like stones and cannot be warmed no matter what."
