What Shen Hao is good at is quickly sorting out threads from a mess.
Using the known to deduce the unknown is the most basic skill for a police academy graduate, and it is also a skill that he has specially trained and strengthened in Xuanqing Guard over the years.
"Have you read the monthly "Xuanqing Case News"? Do you still have an impression of the major cases in various places?" Shen Hao did not answer Wang Jian's question directly, but chatted about Xuanqing Internal publications.
"I remember most of the things I saw clearly."
"Then tell me how many cases there have been involving evil monks from the beginning of last year to now?"
"Ah? This should be almost two hundred, right?"
"Two hundred and seventy-eight cases. If you think about it, how many of these cases involving evil monks were actively targeted at our Xuanqing Guards?"
"This..." Wang Jian's memory is not as perverted as Shen Hao's, and he usually doesn't pay attention. At this time, he couldn't answer Shen Hao's questions.
"There are only five cases. This shows that although the evil monks are very arrogant, they are actually very jealous of our Xuanqing Guards and would not dare to provoke us easily. Then think about last night, why there was an evil monk controlling a A third-grade evil spirit came to attack our case handling station?"
"..." Wang Jian knew that Shen Hao was teaching him and thought carefully. Yes, although the evil monks are powerful, they are still far behind the Xuanqing Guards. In most cases, the evil monks are surrounded and suppressed. How can they have the courage to take the initiative to stir up trouble?
Have a grudge? Or has another purpose?
It’s hard to say what kind of hatred there is, but could it really have any unavoidable purpose?
Wang Jian felt that he understood something, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Xiao Qi, do you mean that there is a reason why that bitch has to bare his teeth at us?"
"A dog will jump over the wall when it gets angry. If the other party is so bold and takes the initiative to attack our station, there must be a reason to take the risk. If we find it, the case will probably be closed, and maybe we can help avenge the dead brothers. .”
"You mean...we can find that shit again?"
"You won't know until you try it."
Wang Jian did not continue this topic, but secretly determined in his heart that he would not let go of any clues, and would find and kill the evil monk last night if there was even half a chance.
"By the way, have things at Zhuangzi been handled well? Have you discovered anything?"
"It's taken care of. There are several obvious traces of life inside, and the embers in the kitchen are also very new. At least someone has lived there in the past ten days. Coupled with the fierce reaction of the evil chasing plate, I concluded that it is likely It’s the evil monk who came to attack the station last night.”
As for why he didn't suspect someone else living in the abandoned Zhuangzi, Wang Jian didn't explain, and Shen Hao didn't need an explanation from him.
A place of death with such strong Yin Qi, accompanied by the stench of corpses and fishy stench, not to mention ordinary people, even animals would not want to stay there, except for scavenging rats or evil monks who are already in harmony with Yin Qi.
Shen Hao also recognized Wang Jian's analysis.
"The Zhuangzi is a property owned by the Qi family. It is mostly used to dispose of the corpses buried under the Zhuangzi. Now there are evil monks staying there. This seems to confirm that your former Qi family was a blood dealer. guess."
The main trading target of the human blood dealer was the evil monks, but Shen Hao had never thought that the voices behind the Qi family's back were directly involved with the evil monks.
Colluding with evil monks is a grave crime that will destroy the nine clans!
"Dong dong dong!"
While the two were chatting, a Xuanqing guard knocked on the door and walked in, holding a portrait in his hand.
"Reporter, this is the portrait described by the waiter and the concierge of Fengyuan Inn after repeated recollections. It is said that there are indeed customers in the store who often encounter a few homeless people."
As he spoke, he handed the portrait into Shen Hao's hands.
Shen Hao lowered his head and saw that the portrait showed a thin middle-aged man, almost in his early fifties, with a simple and honest look on his face. He thought he looked familiar!
"This is... Xiao Chongliu?!"
Not only was Shen Hao a little dazed, but Wang Jian next to him was also stunned. Who would have thought that the news coming back from Fengyuan Inn would point directly at a character whose life and death were unknown.
Shen Hao waved his hand to ask the strongman to retreat. After repeatedly confirming that the portrait was indeed Xiao Chongliu, he exhaled hard and unconsciously rubbed his eyebrows with his hands.
Pain in forehead.
However, Wang Jian was not idle. He immediately rushed out and transferred the detailed investigation records from Fengyuan Inn. He had arranged for the people below to do this before, but now he couldn't wait to get it done with his own hands.
"According to the inn's waiter's recollection, the last time Xiao Chongliu went to Fengyuan Inn was on the morning of March 23, and he booked a private room near the back door."
"Near the back door?"
"Yes, the private room opens directly to the back door of the inn. There are few people passing by there. If the waiter hadn't happened to go to the waiter to refill the water at that time, he might not have seen the three homeless people Xiao Chongliu met there."
"Three? Are you sure it's Xie Shan, Chen Erniu, and Ma Jiu?"
"I can confirm that the waiter and the two idle guys who were chatting at the inn alley have the same story. It is not wrong to show them the portraits of these three people."
"Kakaka..."
When Shen Hao listened to Wang Jian's report, he knocked on the table subconsciously, his mind a mess.
I thought that finding the people who met Chen Erniu and other three homeless people at Fengyuan Inn would reveal the truth behind the Qi family murder case. No matter how bad it was, it would push the progress of the case a big step forward, but now I didn't expect it. The person who appeared at Fengyuan Inn turned out to be Xiao Chongliu.
If the previous guesses were correct, then Xiao Chongliu should be directly related to the deaths of Ma Jiu, Xie Shan, and Chen Erniu. It was even possible that Xiao Chongliu killed these three people.
In this case, it is very likely that Xiao Chongliu is not missing but hiding, and may even be connected with the evil monk who ran away last night.
But Xiao Chongliu was dug out. What about Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing who disappeared with him? Where is it again?
Although his forehead hurt, Shen Hao also understood that this appearance had helped him eliminate many possibilities of mistakes and reorganized the clues of the entire case back to the Qi family itself.
"It seems that if you want to know the truth, you have to continue digging into the details of the Qi family...Wang Jian, go to the Yamen again and sort out the details of Xiao Chongliu, his hometown, parents, relatives, life. .....Don't be afraid of trouble, touch them all, and if you are out of town, ask the general flag to help coordinate, I only give you one day, go quickly!"
"Yes, Xiaoqi, I will give you the confirmation before dinner!" After saying this, Wang Jian rushed out.
Shortly after Wang Jian left, an order issued by Shen Hao was implemented: All Xuanqing Guards and Wuyang City Guards soldiers began to speed up the investigation of the entire city, and the scope of the investigation was expanded to all Zhuangzi and villages around Wuyang City , with the posture of digging three feet into the ground, and every soldier has a portrait in his hand, it is Xiao Chongliu.
