"Xiao Qi, Xiao Chongliu is really a ghost!"
He was probably so excited that Wang Jian even spoke in his local accent, but Shen Hao understood that "ghost" actually meant "there is a big problem."
"How to say?"
"Xiao Chongliu's records in the yamen are very clear. His ancestral home is Jingxi. His hometown is Shiyuan Town, a hundred miles east of Wuyang City. He is a good citizen. His parents are no longer here. Only one younger sister is married to Jingbei. , so he is considered a loner, and the method is clear and simple. When we checked it for the first time, we didn’t think there was any problem.
But I went back in the morning and went through it again. I sent someone to Shiyuan Town according to your wishes, and then sent someone back to Licheng to find the general banner and open a note to coordinate with Jingbei to investigate Xiao Chongliu’s distant marriage. Girls from the past, the results are interesting.
There was indeed a family named Xiao in Shiyuan Town, and the basic situation was basically consistent with the description of Xiao Chongliu in the Yamen's documents, but none of the old people in the town recognized Xiao Chongliu in the portrait.
We found Xiao Chongliu's sister in Jingbei. She is indeed a person, but she doesn't know Xiao Chongliu at all. No, she doesn't know the Xiao Chongliu in our portrait. She also said that her brother Xiao Chongliu died on the road many years ago when he was fleeing famine. "
Shen Hao licked his lips, tapped heavily on the portrait of Xiao Chongliu on the table, and said, "Does this mean that this "Xiao Chongliu" is an imposter?"
"right!"
"It's really interesting."
"It's very interesting. According to the neighbors, Xiao Chongliu has been in the Qi family for more than ten years. Do you think the Qi family knows that this Xiao Chongliu is actually a fake ghost?"
"Haha, it's hard to say."
After a moment of silence, Wang Jian took a few steps closer and whispered: "Xiao Qi, do you think the Qi family was destroyed by Xiao Chongliu?"
"Haha, have you made some assumptions?"
"Hehe, I hope Xiaoqi is on the right track."
"Say it, I'll listen carefully." Shen Hao sat upright, put away his smile, and looked serious. Wang Jian has been with him for four years. He is a capable person and he has been guiding him, so he also wants to hear how capable Wang Jian is when facing such difficult cases.
Deduction, a kind of inertial guessing based on logic and clues. The level of this ability directly indicates the potential in the Xuanqing Guard, especially for someone with no heel like Shen Hao.
"Xiaoqi, we currently have three clues: First, the Qi family may be in the human blood business behind the scenes, and they also have direct dealings with evil monks, and may even have invited evil monks to serve as guests.
Second, there were only fifty-eight of the sixty-one members of the Qi family. Three of them were killed by Chen Erniu and three other unlucky guys who had nothing to do with it. It was obvious that someone wanted to hide the whereabouts of Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing. .
Third, Xiao Chongliu's identity was false, and there was a 90% chance that he killed Chen Erniu and three others to make up the number.
So based on these three clues, I made a hypothesis, assuming that Xiao Chongliu is a key figure who can be involved in these three clues at the same time. In this way, there will be a possibility of deduction.
Xiaoqi, I speculate that Xiao Chongliu may not just steal other people's identities. He is the housekeeper of the big house in the Qi family, in charge of the big house's accounts and warehouse. It can be said that he is a very important figure in the Qi family. This kind of person is not Maybe he didn't know anything about what the Qi family was doing behind the scenes, and he was most likely involved.
If this is the case, then the question arises, why do the Qi family dare to let a person with a foreign surname know about the business of selling human blood to destroy the nine clans?
Unless they have absolute confidence that this person will not betray them.
So, I deduce that the reason why Xiao Chongliu can reassure the Qi family is his true identity? For example, evil monks?
Anyway, the human blood business is also connected with the evil monks. If Xiao Chongliu is the connection between the Qi family's secret activities, it can explain a lot of problems. And do you think the evil monk who came to attack our station last night was Xiao Chongliu? "
Shen Hao did not confirm or deny, he just looked at Wang Jian and motioned for him to continue.
"If Xiao Chongliu is an evil monk, I can continue to deduce it. For example, I think that the death of the entire Qi family is at least 70% likely to be done by Xiao Chongliu, an evil monk. This also coincides with the evil atmosphere present at the scene. , which also coincided with the fact that he had found Chen Erniu's three "scapegoats" for him in advance.
As for the motive, I guess it has something to do with the Qi family secretly making tofu, and it should also involve some interest disputes..."
Shen Hao listened very carefully and agreed very much, but in his opinion, Wang Jian's reasoning was still a bit lacking. The general direction was correct but there were many omissions.
He picked up the tea cup on the table, blew on the foam on it, and asked with a smile: "You missed the father and son Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing."
"This... this is a clueless one. I've been thinking about it for a long time but can't quite figure it out. There should be some clues missing."
"It's not bad. In fact, you just didn't notice."
"Please set the flag straight."
Shen Hao put down the tea cup and reminded: "According to your deduction, there is a high probability that the Qi family will die at the hands of "Xiao Chongliu", and "Xiao Chongliu" is also an evil monk, right?"
"Yes."
"In this case, why did Xiao Chongliu kill two more unrelated homeless people to serve as the corpses of Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing? It makes sense for him to fake his own death, but there is no reason to help two people from the Qi family escape, right? He But the entire Qi family was destroyed."
"You mean...Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing have..."
"Dead, I'm sure they're dead. It's impossible to miss these two people when we kill everyone."
"Then why do you have to kill two homeless people to make up the number? Isn't this unnecessary?"
"Haha, maybe Xiao Zhongliu doesn't want people to see the bodies of Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing? Or maybe the bodies of Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing are very important to Xiao Zhongliu, and he doesn't want to just throw them away?"
Corpse? Very important?
Wang Jian's mind raced, and he quickly thought of a possibility: According to his deduction, Xiao Chongliu was an evil monk. Many of the evil monks' methods were refined against corpses. He even thought of a very scary possibility. ...
"Xiao Qi, you're not saying...that Xiao Chongliu is...that group of people, right?"
"Nothing is impossible. The direction of your deduction is not wrong, but some corners are missing. If you substitute my judgment into your deduction, you can think through it yourself and see if everything goes smoothly. ?”
After hearing Shen Hao's words, Wang Jian unconsciously quickly deduced it in his mind. Indeed, as Shen Hao said, after adding Shen Hao's guess, the whole derivation process became smoother and no longer jerky as before. But precisely because of this, Wang Jian's face turned livid.
"Xiao Qi, if it's really that group of people, then this case will be..."
"Don't make it public. I know what you're worried about. Don't panic. The case is still under control, and I've already given the general manager's approval on this matter, so stay calm. This may be a big opportunity for you and me. Woolen cloth!"
