Wang Ben began to look through the corpses in the courtyard, and soon, cold sweat began to flow from his forehead.
"Sealing the throat with a knife is just right. I'm afraid this murderer was not a one-man massacre."
To do this, at least a thousand people would have to be killed.
Of course, there are also those with extraordinary talents.
But at least in terms of strength, Wang Ben was basically certain that the opponent was of the same level as himself, both seventh-level acquired warriors.
The reason why I didn't guess higher is because no matter how high it is, there is no need to use a knife to slit the throat.
Because the next level up is the innate master. Warriors at this level can unleash their power and can kill people from a distance.
The realm of warriors is roughly divided into nine levels, with each third level reaching a higher level.
The lower third level is the acquired body training, the middle third level is the innate meridians, and the upper third level is to return to the origin and open up the orifices.
There is also a gap in strength between the same products.
Wang Wei, who was in the early stage of seventh grade, believed that he was no match for the murderer.
Because he couldn't seal his throat with a sword when facing a ninth-grade martial arts master and more than thirty apprentices.
The day after tomorrow warriors can still find ways to use manpower to kill them.
Wang Ben stepped over the woman's body in front of the house, opened the door, and his pupils shrank slightly.
The old lady fell to the ground and died without closing her eyes.
The child was stabbed in the heart and his blood stained the tablecloth red.
There was a line of scarlet letters written on the wall.
The murderer, Chen Sheng of Chenjia Village, Fenglin Town.
"Sigh... is it really a genocide? What is the deep grudge between Chen Sheng and this martial arts school? It seems like we need to do a thorough investigation when we get back."
Wang Ben looked solemn as he slowly pulled out the knife from the child's chest, only to realize that it was actually a broken knife.
"Sir, someone has seen a young man covered in blood swaggering through the city."
The head catcher quickly reported the news.
"Oh, when was it? Where is the young man now?"
Wang Ben asked quickly.
The head catcher immediately hesitated and said: "Well... this... about an hour ago."
Wang Ben:......
Damn it, an hour ago, the person had already disappeared!
In fact, this is not to blame for the late reporting of the arrest, because on his way back to the Yamen, he overheard someone talking about this time, and then pressed him to find out.
No one took the initiative to report to the official, which wasted a lot of time.
It is better to do less than to do more. No one wants to be retaliated by the murderer for reporting to the police.
"Damn it, get everyone together and follow me!"
Wang Ben shouted.
"Sir, are you going to hunt down the murderer?"
The head catcher asked cautiously.
"Chasing a piece of shit!"
Wang Ben glared at the catcher, waved his hand and said: "Go to Chenjia Village in Fenglin Town!"
Daqian's control over some frontier areas is getting weaker and weaker. If he hadn't offended someone, he wouldn't have come to this rural place. He usually has to ask the county police to cooperate with him to do anything.
Now he is the envoy to stop the murders, the envoy to suppress the demons, and the envoy to listen to the dragon in the entire county. He holds many positions, but only gets one salary. Whoever wants to fight with the murderer will do it.
The reason why Wang Ben went to Fenglin Town was that he was sure that the murderer would not be so rampant as to kill anyone, and he would go back and wait after leaving the address.
When you arrive at your destination, ask the local people to find out the appearance and characteristics of the murderer, then draw a picture and offer a reward, or report it to the county and ask an innate warrior to handle the matter. Wouldn't it be nice to follow behind and cheer for him?
Even if you are really unlucky and encounter such an outlaw, those detectives can be of some use.
At least Wang Ben ran faster than them.
An hour later, Wang Ben and his party arrived at Chenjia Village in Fenglin Town. After asking about the reason, they arrested the owner of the pawn shop and the bald blacksmith of the blacksmith shop in the town.
"Sir, the common people are wronged, the common people are wronged!"
"Sir, the common people have always abided by the law and never committed a crime. You have arrested the wrong person!"
The pawn shop owner begged.
The bald blacksmith is no longer as arrogant as before.
"Haha, it's not up to you to decide whether you are guilty or not."
Wang Ben threw the broken knife in front of the bald blacksmith, "I ask you, did you hit this knife?"
The bald blacksmith looked at the broken knife that was soaked in blood, and his expression suddenly changed.
Isn't this the staff and knife I sold to the blind man?
It's hard, but you shouldn't be greedy for petty gains at that time.
"Sir, this, this is indeed a knife struck by a commoner. May I ask what happened?"
The bald blacksmith could only admit that there were many apprentice masters in the blacksmith shop at that time, and could not deny it at all.
The only hope now is that the blind boy didn't make any big mistakes with this knife.
"Haha, what happened? The murderer used this knife to kill thirty-eight people in Qingquan Town. Do you think anything is wrong?"
Wang Ben sneered.
"Kill, kill thirty-eight?"
The bald blacksmith was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Sir, are you mistaken? He is a blind man, how can he kill thirty-eight people!"
"Yes, sir, the people of Chen Sheng recognize that a blind singer with no power to tie a chicken, how could he be the culprit who killed thirty-eight people? Someone must be misleading you, sir!"
The pawn shop owner hurriedly defended.
"this……"
Wang Ben hesitated and looked at the policeman who had reported before.
The detective sweated on his forehead and said, "Sir, everything I said is true. Someone indeed saw a young man covered in blood walking through the market. He is exactly the same age as Chen Sheng from Chenjia Village. How could such a coincidence happen?"
Immediately, he walked quickly to the pawn shop owner, kicked him down, and said angrily: "Straight mother-in-law, do you mean that I am making up random tests?"
"It's unjust, my lord, common people, common people..."
The pawn shop owner didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"Okay, let's take them all back for interrogation. We'll wait until the investigation is clear."
Wang Ben rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand to have the two goods escorted back to the Qingquan Town Yamen.
One took over the house sold by Chen Sheng, and the other sold it to Chen Shengdao.
Whether the two are accomplices or not, we have to wait for more detailed investigation results to come out. In short, at least they will have a chance to go to jail.
Three days later.
"It's settled. The owner of the pawn shop in Maple Leaf Town and the bald blacksmith of the blacksmith shop are the real culprits who killed the thirty-eight people in the martial arts hall. They will be interrogated at the market tomorrow at noon!"
The county magistrate made the final decision and struck the alarm.
"Quit!"
"mighty……"
The two people in the hall looked frightened and yelled with all their strength: "Sir, the common people are wronged, the common people are wronged!"
But no matter how they cried and complained about their injustice, they were still picked up and dragged down by the government officials.
"Magistrate Hu, these two are not murderers!"
After withdrawing from the court, Wang Ben couldn't help but said: "The arrest has been found out. These two people did not know in advance that Chen Sheng had murderous thoughts. Buying a house and selling knives were purely normal transactions. They had no intention of funding, and even the accomplices It doesn’t even count!”
"Brother Wang, you don't know this."
Magistrate Hu shook his head and said: "If the murderer is not apprehended for a day and is beheaded in public, people in Qingquan Town will be panicked and rumors will spread. Chen Sheng is only a blind man at the age of tying up his hair. Even if he is the murderer, you believe it, I believe it." , can the people trust you?"
"this……"
Wang Ben was silent for a long time.
A blind boy, a muscular bald blacksmith and a pawn shop owner with a deer head and rat eyes.
Who to kill can convince the people more and appease people's hearts? The answer is self-evident.
As for someone seeing a young man covered in blood strutting around in the street?
nonsense! It was obviously a bald blacksmith covered in blood walking through the market!
