Subsequently.
"Absurd, really ridiculous!"
An official in a vermilion robe waved his hand and shouted loudly:
"At the scene where I, Jingzhao Mansion, are handling the case, when will it be my turn, irrelevant people will come and interfere indiscriminately."
"Li Canjun, be careful what you say!"
Someone immediately scolded: It was Guo Chongtao, one of the highest-ranking censors present.
"This gentleman is the co-organizer of my office at Yushitai, and he has co-handled several major and important court cases. How can we tolerate criticism?"
"Li Canjun, Mr. Jiang's ability has been witnessed by my fellow disciples on the right street and even General Zheng Lang. Naturally, we can rest assured."
Another Jinwu Street envoy judge Li Chonggu who was present also spoke up:
"Li Canjun, what do you mean?"
Then someone came over and sneered:
"Such a big thing has happened in Pingkang Beili. You can't figure it out even if you are called here. Why don't others be allowed to investigate? Is there anything else you can say?"
"Then... forgive me for not being able to accompany you!"
When Li Canjun heard this, his expression changed, because the person who spoke last was none other than Liu Wenzhi, the head of the East City Department of Taipu Temple and the owner of Pingkang Sanli. Although he is only an official of the eighth rank, he is an authentic internal official. However, the next moment, he pretended to be angry and waved his sleeves and left.
However, after he walked out with an indignant look on his face, he came to a carriage without any markings, and then he lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully:
"Please report back to your Majesty. There is really nothing I can do for you."
"What a waste. You can't even move a former prisoner. It's a waste of time to push you to fill the vacancy of the Dharma Cao!"
In the end, the carriage had no choice but to throw out such a female voice, and then kicked off and left.
It wasn't until the carriage completely disappeared at the intersection that Li Chonggu raised his head and turned around, showing a vague sneer and a mixture of contempt, but he quickly restrained himself. Then someone came forward to ask for instructions:
"Cao Zheng, what should we do now?"
"Of course, just do whatever you have to do! Business is business, do you understand?"
Li Canjun said a little impatiently:
"Then, what should we do with the instructions from above?"
A subordinate asked carefully:
"An explanation is an explanation. Are you asking me to go against the Yushi, Jinwu and Taipusi families for a little bit of their comradeship?"
Li Shenjun said even more angrily:
"What about us?"
The subordinate asked again:
"Of course it's hard for me to come forward, but aren't there still you guys?"
Li Shenjun said with a worried expression:
"Of course I will send someone to keep an eye on it, and report any trouble to me at any time. I also want to see what step the disaster star that caused the Jingzhao Mansion and half of it collapsed can take."
At the same time, Jiang Tian, the disaster star mentioned by Li Canjun, was also invited to another crime scene, the Wu Yun Building where the murder first occurred. As for the various objects and traces inside the tragic murder scene, the officers who arrived had already inspected and marked them.
Various people who escaped from the same floor were also intercepted and controlled from the outside, and were initially interrogated. Therefore, as a half-hearted mystery and suspense enthusiast in later generations, it is impossible for Jiang Tian to be more professional and experienced than these officials who have been handling criminal cases for many years.
Therefore, when there was no response from the portable system, he could only go through the motions and pretend to focus on checking the first-hand records of the on-site investigation and autopsy; at the same time, he asked several workers about the general circumstances of the death of the specific person. Time and sequence.
In fact, they found the murder weapon abandoned and hidden in the corners and crevices at the first time based on the residual blood stains; and based on the position of the body lying sideways and the angle of the injury, they initially judged the height and approximate strength of the perpetrator, and restored Understand the attack process.
But for the investigators, the biggest problem they are facing now is that the doors and windows in this residence are closed from the inside out and sound as before; there are no signs of damage or disassembly. A closed environment similar to a secret room murder.
Therefore, they more suspected that the crime was committed by insiders; at least it was also the result of the crime committed by someone they were very familiar with. Because there were more than a dozen corpses strewn across the place, all of which were stabbed to death or had their throats cut by someone who was unprepared; and there was almost no sound from outside.
There was no damage to the property checked at the scene, and even some jewelry and money notes chained in the bed cabinet had not been touched; it did not look like an ordinary means of killing and stealing goods at all. Therefore, the current situation is also initially characterized as a deliberate and well-intentioned vendetta with familiarity with the internal situation.
Therefore, the target of suspicion inevitably fell on the only woman/concubine who survived to call for help. I believe that if no more clues can be found in the following time, the focus of the investigation will naturally fall on her suspicion of murder.
Therefore, before Jiang Tian was invited to the scene, the person on duty at the garden knew that the lady was in charge and also made a special trip to greet and pay a visit to her for a while. In addition to expressing some kind of apology and extreme gratitude, and being willing to do his best to cooperate with everything needed, he also hinted that he hoped to help the concubine and clear away the charges and suspicions.
After all, as one of the few mid-to-high-end entertainment venues located in Pingkangli, if this kind of incident involving the murder of guests happened inside and outside, even just a rumor of suspicion would be enough to cause a fatal blow. Jiang Tian naturally couldn't deny it, but he didn't reject the other party directly.
Because before, the woman who inexplicably hid in the small building where she was was sent to frame him or cause trouble for him. Despite this, Jiang Tian's first suggestion was to have people hang up wind lanterns inside and outside the building to light up the huge courtyard and outer walls.
When it comes to ordinary murder scenes, he cannot be more professional than those officials he has dealt with all year round; but his imagination and imagination about secret room murders are unmatched by these ancients. Then, Jiang Tian, who was originally dealing with errands, found some clues and clues.
Above the window that had been temporarily ignored by the on-site inspection, Jiang Tian discovered a fresh friction mark due to the angle of light from the outside; then, following this mark to the outer wall, he found more dust quilts. Scratched and rub-off spots.
As a result, most of the so-called secret room murder mystery has been solved; the murderer who was familiar with many victims and was able to make them unprepared to be killed escaped from the window sill. It's just that the direction of his escape was not downstairs, but he was lifted up to the upper floor by a rope.
Then, pull it through the live rope loop knotted in the window and close it again; then pull the other end to loosen it and take it away. Even after pulling hard, small marks were inevitably left on the edge of the wooden window. Not to mention the half-footprint left by stepping on the outer wall when climbing up.
But when things got to this point, Jiang Tian didn't need to worry about anything anymore. These traces left on the outer wall, those related people who claim to be eating this bowl of rice, etc., if no possible suspects can be found, it will be really hopeless.
Therefore, on the upper floor of Wuyun Tower, there was a lot of commotion and violent movements, and the men were amazed or saw a ghost, surprised or complicated in their eyes; Jiang Tian was invited again. The second scene is inside Feiming Building.
