Chapter 241 Screening the Real Culprit
All thirty-two suspects were gathered into the largest prison and stood together in shackles.
In front of them, there was a small table with a few pieces of white paper on it, and a pen and inkstone next to it.
Luo Jun came to the table and looked at the prisoners in front of him. Most of them were ordinary people. They all looked depressed. Some were still coughing and shaking, and they didn't look very good.
It has only been seven or eight hours since the great witch was killed. These guys have been locked up for at least half a day, and they have ended up like this? It seems that prison is not only a physical torture to these ordinary people, but also a kind of mental torture.
Luo Jun sighed, folded a few pieces of paper and cut them in half. Looking at how busy he was, Mr. Lu, Tie Jingang, Liu Song and others outside the prison didn't know why...
Finally, Luo Jun took the paper Divided into thirty-two pieces, he then took out a small bottle from the treasure box, hid it in the palm of his hand, poured some transparent liquid from it and dripped it into the inkstone, and then used an ink block to dip the liquid into the ink and grind it into ink.
Then, he asked the suspects to come forward one by one, write their names with the ink, and at the same time say: "I am not the murderer of the great witch."
"Well...I I can’t write..." One suspect coughed and raised his hand.
"Then..." Luo Jun rolled his eyes: "Then press fingerprints, everyone press fingerprints."
The prisoners came forward one by one, pressed their fingerprints, and finished speaking.
At this time, Luo Jun shuffled the pieces of paper and stacked them together, and then activated the secret dice in his mind.
"Pull out the fingerprint of the real murderer of the great witch!"
"Ding, this event is an inevitable event and cannot be determined. The number of times is reduced by one!"
Very good!
This confirms that the real culprit is indeed not among these people
But this is not over yet. Tie Jinggang and Liu Si behind him are still watching, wondering what Luo Jun is doing by asking them to press fingerprints and talk. Something.
Luo Jun sighed, shook his head, wiped the remaining ink in the inkstone with paper, and then threw it into the brazier to burn it.
"Okay, there is no real murderer among these people..."
Seeing that the pieces of paper were burned to ashes, Luo Jun finally came to a conclusion.
"How do you know?" Tie Jingang frowned and said, "What are those liquids?"
"That is truth water, a consumable product. When you use it to sign or press fingerprints, if you tell a lie, If you tell me, the truth water will burn... I asked them to say that they are not the murderer, but no one's fingerprints burned, which means they are telling the truth."
"Is there such a treasure? "Tie Jingang also gained knowledge. Because he knew that Luo Jun had an unusual relationship with the dean and Mr. Yuan, he did not question the origin of Luo Jun's treasures. As for Liu Si who was behind him, he looked at Luo Jun with admiration. He did not expect this junior brother who did not even have a strong spirit. , actually hiding so many treasures?
How did they know that this so-called truth water was just made up by Luo Jun to make it up? What was just sprinkled on the paper was just water...
How could ordinary water come from a hundred Take it out of the treasure box? Because the real Noble Phantasm is not these liquids, but the small bottle filled with water.
This thing was also collected by Luo Jun in the wilderness. The name is simple and easy to understand. It is called a water bottle. It is a sophisticated level Noble Phantasm. Although it is only the size of an egg and cannot be seen in the hand, it can hold more than fifty liters of water.
However, this thing can only hold water. Even if it contains trace amounts of impurities, it will be purified into pure water when poured in... But if there are too many impurities, such as sea water, beer, and beverages, it cannot be filled at all. Not going in... So the only function of this thing is to serve as a water storage device, which can provide a water source in some extreme environments. It is said to be useful, but in a wild place where there is no shortage of water, its usefulness is really limited, otherwise it would not be used to set up stalls in exchange for money.
Logically speaking, there should be a large number of such low-level functional treasures. Senior explorers like Tie Jingang have probably seen them, so Luo Jun was afraid that his flaws would be discovered, so he deliberately hid them. In the palm of his hand, no one saw the shape of the bottle. Looking at his fussing, he couldn't even imagine that the liquid was ordinary water...
Although it was confirmed that there was no real murderer in the prison, this Noble Phantasm Bainamen and Mr. Lu believed that they could not convince the people of Southern Xinjiang. Therefore, these suspects have to remain in prison...but Mr. Lu took care of the cell leader and tried to treat them as kindly as possible.
"Since it is confirmed that it is not from the Central Plains people, does it mean that it is from the Southern Xinjiang people?" Returning to the reception room, Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "It would be better if it wasn't us...I will contact the fifth elder later and ask him to The suspects targeted in southern Xinjiang are also brought for verification, and the truth will be revealed.”
"But people in southern Xinjiang may not agree with the conclusion given by our magic weapon." Hou Song shook his head: "And if there is no real murderer among the suspects in southern Xinjiang, they still won't give up!"
"If you want to calm down the incident, it's best to produce decisive evidence, and it's best to go to the scene to see it." After being wronged, Hou Song was very concerned about solving the case. "I want to go to the scene... no problem!" Mr. Lu nodded: "I can arrange for someone to take you there... I have already said hello to the Fifth Elder and agreed to your intervention in the investigation."
Indeed, if the fifth elder had not agreed, he would not have cooperated with Mr. Lu in such a play before.
"We must go to the scene, but before that, Mr. Lu, can you show us the information of the current investigation?" Luo Jun suggested: "Even if there is a magic weapon to help, there must be A clue is enough to solve the case.”
"Okay, okay." Mr. Lu immediately ordered, and soon, the investigation information about the assassination of the great witch was sent to several people.
Southern Xinjiang Great Witch Wu Jida, fifty-two years old, is the highest official of the Southern Xinjiang region in Yunzhou City. He came to Yunzhou City three years ago. He is proficient in Gu, martial arts, and has a condensing state of mind. level.
Yesterday was the day when Uchida took concubines. This guy is lustful by nature. He has married more than a dozen wives since he came to Yunzhou City. Yesterday’s bride’s name was A Li. She moved to Yunzhou not long ago. I live alone in Zhoucheng. A few days ago, Wu Jida met this girl by chance while shopping. After falling in love with her at first sight, he wanted to abduct her on the street. However, A Li threatened her with death, saying that it was not impossible for her to commit herself to him, but she had to follow the rules of the south. Xinjiang's etiquette comes to propose marriage.
Ukeda happily agreed, and sent someone to keep an eye on the girl. Then he immediately prepared a betrothal gift and arranged for someone to come to propose marriage, and so yesterday's wedding took place.
It can be said that from the first time Wu Jida saw A Li to the time the two got married, it was not even three days.
It's no wonder that when everyone saw the wedding team yesterday, everyone else was full of joy, but the bride was unhappy...
Because Uchida had become a habit, it didn't become known to the whole city. Only people from southern Xinjiang were invited to the wedding banquet. This guy also drank a lot, and finally walked into the bridal chamber with the help of everyone.
However, not long after, A Li’s screams came through the bridal chamber. At first, everyone just thought it was the great witch enjoying himself and didn’t pay attention to it, but soon, A Li shouted clearly: " "Help" and "Kill", everyone realized something was wrong. After breaking in, they found the big witch lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in his chest, and A Li was being pushed down on the bed by a man in black, struggling to resist... …
The man in black’s good deeds were interrupted and he immediately broke out of the window. When everyone chased him out, they found that this guy was very good at lightness and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye...
The above is the whole process of the case. After the incident, the fifth elder immediately sealed off the southern Xinjiang area and controlled all the guests attending the wedding banquet that night. At the same time, they thoroughly investigated the southern Xinjiang people who had a relationship with the witch and might have murderous motives. At the same time, he also reported to the government and asked Mr. Lu to search for the murderer in the Central Plains and Highlanders.
According to the recollections of eyewitnesses, the murderer can be determined as being of medium height, thin, male, and of considerable strength.
After all, the great witch is not weak in martial arts. Even though he is drunk, this master still has the basic ability to protect himself. There are almost no traces of fighting in the room, indicating that he was killed in one blow and could escape at the same time. The pursuit of many masters in southern Xinjiang shows that his Qinggong and hiding skills are quite good.
"Could it be someone from the Highlands who did it?" Tie Jingang asked suddenly after reading the case file.
"We are also investigating on the Highlanders side...but they are not very cooperative." Mr. Lu sighed: "But neither I nor the fifth elder think that this matter has anything to do with the Highlanders. ."
"Why?" Tie Jingang asked curiously.
"Because the highlanders are very religious, they must abide by the teachings in daily life. Although they do not abide by the laws of the Central Plains, they have their own set of principles." Mr. Lu introduced: "In their teachings, except for the husband, the woman on the wedding day You are not allowed to have contact with other men. Even talking to her is a taboo and will be punished by God. So even if the Highlanders know how to kill, they will not molest the bride."
"Besides, Wu. Keda is a bit of a bully. Although he is domineering in southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains, he never dares to provoke the highlanders, so there should be no motive for committing crimes there..." Hou Song also added
" The people of Southern Xinjiang are just that..." Luo Jun snorted coldly: "The people of the Central Plains are not under the jurisdiction of the Great Witch of Southern Xinjiang, so how can they become weak persimmons in their eyes and be bullied at will? "
< br>"This..." Mentioning this, Mr. Lu also felt a little ashamed: "It was my poor management...that caused the people under my rule to suffer..."
Luo Jun shook his head and no longer pursued this matter. Topic: "What about the murder weapon? Why is it not mentioned in the case file?"
"Well..." Mr. Lu said: "When our officials arrived, the murder weapon had been taken away by the people from southern Xinjiang. They said they would use witchcraft to curse the owner of the weapon, so we didn't see it. According to the description, It's just an ordinary fine steel dagger, of good quality, but nothing special..."
"That's a little strange..." Luo Jun looked at the case file: "Inside, there is a big Doubtful..."
