Pingshan County.
The county magistrate heard that a murder had occurred in the city as soon as he came up early in the morning. He quickly called Zhao Xiaoming, the head of the fast class, and asked him to find out what happened.
The county government officials are divided into three classes: Zao, Zhuang, and Kuai. Among them, the Zao class is on duty, the Zhuang class is poor in performance, and the Kuai class is responsible for arrests. The task of hunting down and arresting criminals falls under the responsibility of the Kuai class.
Zhao Xiaoming, the head of the fast class, took the order, gathered a group of catchers and rushed to the Iron Fist Gang.
"You guys, go and arrest everyone you can and ask if anyone knows anything. The rest of you will check the scene with me."
"Yes, boss!"
Arriving at the Iron Fist Gang headquarters, Zhao Xiaoming gave instructions and started to inspect the scene with a few people.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the first thing he saw was the wide-eyed Guan Yunda.
Zhao Xiaoming checked his injuries and couldn't help frowning. This murderer was really ruthless and merciless.
There was a long wound on the chest and abdomen of the deceased, which was almost disembowelled, but this was not a fatal injury.
Instead, when he was escaping, the murderer smashed him to death with a stone lamppost, and then stabbed him in the back of the head. Most people don't have such a character.
The dead have all run away, but they are still chasing after them relentlessly, and they have to kill people after killing them, for fear that the death will not be complete.
From this, we can know the determination of the person who committed the crime, and we don’t know whether the murderer had a cold nature and was ruthless in killing people, or whether the deceased offended him too harshly.
"Do you know him?"
A captured Iron Fist Gang member came forward to take a look. He grinned at the tragic situation and said after identifying him: "I heard from the gang leader that this distinguished guest is named Guan Yunda. He is from Mengzhou Prefecture. What is Bailian?" Disciple of the teaching.”
"White Lotus Sect?" Zhao Xiaoming was shocked when he heard this, grabbed his chest and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Boss Zhao, I don't know. I also heard what the gang leader said." The man was startled by him and said quickly.
"Yes." Zhao Xiaoming looked at Guan Yunda's white clothes and the lotus crown on his head, and said to himself: "Yes, he is wearing white clothes and a lotus crown on his head. Even if he is not from the White Lotus Sect, it still has a lot to do with it."
Han Li, the leader of his men, saw him like this and asked, "Boss? What is the background of this White Lotus Sect?"
In addition to Zhao Xiaoming, who is the catcher, there are five experienced catchers in the fast squad who are responsible for difficult cases. They are called the first line, which is equivalent to the captain of the catcher.
Zhao Xiaoming said: "I have heard people talk about this sect. They enshrine the Holy Mother of White Lotus as their veneration. They accept disciples to teach scriptures, spells, boxing skills, and meditation techniques. They advocate that brothers in the sect help each other, and they are quite trusted by the public.
I heard that there is a White Lotus sect in Mengzhou Prefecture. We in Pingshan County have not heard of anyone who believes in the White Lotus sect before, but now it seems that the tentacles have reached in.
If it weren't for today's murder, we would still be kept in the dark. "
"Could this murderer have a grudge against the White Lotus Sect? Did he come here specifically to seek revenge?" Han Li guessed.
"It's too early to draw a conclusion now. Let's continue to look at the two people in the house." Zhao Xiaoming also preferred this answer, but he still walked into the house noncommittally, intending to see the other dead people before talking.
As soon as they entered the room, the faces of several policemen who had never seen a big scene turned pale instantly, their throats squirmed, and even Zhao Xiaoming and Han Li couldn't help but twitch the corners of their eyes.
I saw that the entire main hall was almost stained red with blood. Not only the ground, but also the roof was sprayed with blood.
A headless corpse was lying in a pool of blood, with a lonely head standing on the ground, staring at everyone with a pair of big eyes.
Lei Ming, the leader of the Iron Fist Gang they were familiar with, had one arm folded into a weird shape and a thin wound on his neck.
After checking the situation in the house, Han Li took a deep breath and said in a dry voice: "Boss, this case is difficult to handle."
"Yes." Zhao Xiaoming nodded solemnly.
The other party had no intention of covering up. From the clues he just checked, he could easily deduce what happened.
The opponent first threw stones to ask for directions, to scare the snakes, and then threw a stone gourd top to separate the three people in the house. He took the opportunity to behead the Taoist named Yao Defa with a sword, and then lured the enemy deeper and injured Guan Yunda.
Then Lei Ming, who had practiced Iron Bone Kung Fu, fought with him, but his arm was broken abruptly, and his neck was wiped cleanly with a sword.
Finally, he caught up with Guan Yunda who was escaping, kicked the stone lamppost away and killed him, and then struck again.
This method is definitely a vicious habitual criminal, and the most important thing is that the other party is not only ruthless, but also highly skilled in martial arts.
You know, although my martial arts skills are higher than Lei Ming's, I definitely don't dare to say that my bones are harder than his and my strength is stronger than his.
Not to mention killing three people so easily.
Facing such ferocious criminals, how can they be seen?
"Boss, what should we do next?" Han Li asked.
"Let's see if Wang Min has any clues first."
Another leader, Wang Min, was interrogating the captured Iron Fist Gang members. When he saw Zhao Xiaoming walking in, he quickly asked him to sit down.
Zhao Xiaoming asked: "Did you ask anything?"
Wang Minchen reported: “I interrogated some people, and they said that these days Lei Ming got to know a Taoist priest named Yao Defa, and a disciple of the White Lotus Sect named Guan Yunda.
Yesterday, these two people said that they wanted to seduce souls and practice evil magic. They held a banquet in the evening to celebrate this, and then they were killed on the spot.
Many people heard the noise and rushed over, but were frightened away. The murderer was covered in blood. None of the people at the time could see clearly. They only knew that the murderer was wearing a Taoist robe. "
"Seduced? Whose soul was seduced?" Zhao Xiaoming asked. He was killed just after he was seduced and wanted to celebrate. The murderer was probably related to the person who was seduced.
"It is said that they are the disciples of the third channel leader of Baiyun Temple. They went to the city to buy things yesterday. Lei Ming found someone to steal their things, which were used to seduce people."
"Chief of the third channel?" Zhao Xiaoming was shocked. After thinking about the brutality of the murder scene, he shook his head and said: "It couldn't have been the chief of the third channel. If the chief of the third channel had taken action, he would not have killed people directly, at least he would not have done anything. It’s so bloody.”
Wang Min nodded and said: "Of course he is not the leader of the third channel. Although the people from the Iron Fist Gang did not see the person clearly, they also said that the other party was not too old.
One more thing, boss, I only found out after interrogation. The third channel leader probably passed away a month ago. "
Zhao Xiaoming sneered and said: "Since I can remember, there have been rumors every year that the Three Paths Master has passed away. I am over thirty this year, and he is still alive and well."
"This time is different. According to the people from the Iron Fist Gang, this time it was said by the disciple of the Third Channel Leader himself."
Zhao Xiaoming said in surprise: "Is this true?"
Wang Min nodded and said: "It's eighty percent true, otherwise how could Lei Ming and the others dare to take action?"
Han Li said thoughtfully: "Boss, I remember that the eldest disciple of the third channel leader is also an adult, right? I wonder what his cultivation level is like?"
Zhao Xiaoming pondered for a while and then ordered: "Have someone bring the bodies of those three people back to the Yamen. Han Li and Wang Min, follow me and continue the investigation."
"yes!"
Asking someone to transport the body back to the Yamen, Zhao Xiaoming led the two of them along the traces to the West City Gate.
I saw the city guard cursing and asking people to lift a small tree away from the base of the city wall. I stepped forward and asked, and learned that I didn't know who stood there last night.
The three of them went over to check, and Wang Min said: "Boss, it seems that the murderer entered the city through this method, and then left the city from here after killing the person."
Zhao Xiaoming turned his back to the city wall and looked to the west, which was in the direction of Qingfeng Mountain. After a while, he said: "Wang Min, Han Li, you come with me to Qingfeng Mountain to see the Third Channel Chief and the other two The situation of a high disciple.”
"Yes, boss." Han Li and Wang Min responded in unison.
