Chapter 93 Small Town Mystery
In the inn room arranged by the Yamen, the oil lamp illuminated the side of Fu Qingzhou's face. On the table was the file he had just read. He rubbed his temples and looked a little tired.
“This Soul Seducer should be used sparingly.”
He murmured: “It consumes too much energy.”
The Smoker’s voice floated out: "You are too weak! Soul seduction is a witchcraft in the ancient Western Regions. If you have the power of the Xuanxing, you can control millions of creatures with just one look!"
Fu Qingzhou couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. He was already so powerful. Why should I control millions of living beings?
Long Dabei had only one or two leaders at the beginning, but he almost killed the entire Shu. If he had ten leaders, wouldn't he be a god and demon?
After taking a short rest, he picked up the file again and started reading it a second time.
I have to say, the characters written on the files in this yamen are really beautiful... It’s not uncomfortable to see this kind of characters at all...
The contents of the files are very detailed and have been found. The connection between the dead.
These deceased were all gamblers, and more or less they all owed a lot of gambling debts in the casinos, and Zhou Lesheng had to collect the debts.
Yes, Zhou Lesheng is the thug in the casino who collects debts...
This is ancient times, so naturally there is no saying that debt collection cannot be violent. Zhou Lesheng is the number one murderer in the casino, and he has many methods. , in addition to beating and slashing people, splashing feces and urine on them, he also often forced people to sell their children and daughters. He had a very bad reputation in the town of Nugget.
Probably because of this, the magistrate regarded him as the number one suspect.
This is not surprising. Fu Qingzhou himself has worked as a criminal police officer. He knows that in this small town, nine people died in a row in the same way... This is a particularly big case. If it is solved again, If the case cannot be solved, Chen Zhixian's future will be over.
"But this doesn't make sense."
Fu Qingzhou said to himself: "These people have not paid off their gambling debts. Why did Zhou Lesheng kill them? Wouldn't they be able to pay back their money after they died?"
"And what's more? All of these people had their bodies disemboweled and their faces mutilated. The murderer either had a deep hatred for them or had other reasons. Otherwise, why would he do this? "
"If we talk about a deep hatred, Zhou Lesheng is the one with the deepest hatred. Absolutely not; for other reasons? Is the face shaved to hide the identity of the deceased? It is completely unreasonable. Although these people are disfigured, they are not difficult to identify, and the disfigurement is meaningless."
He yawned and read the details of the file a few more times. Still not getting much, he knew that nothing could be seen from the file.
"Go for an autopsy?"
He touched his chin and murmured twice.
Half an hour later, the stubborn stone came to Yizhuang.
Fu Qingzhou had a cloth covering his mouth and nose, frowning, holding up a lantern, and looking at the corpses.
Not far away, the man in charge of guarding Yizhuang yawned and said: "Young hero, stop looking, it's useless. These people were all hacked to death, nothing special."
In fact, he was right...
Fu Qingzhou originally thought that there might be some secret behind the death of these people, for example, they were actually poisoned or beaten to death by some kind of high-level martial arts, but there was no such thing.
Judging from his barely adequate autopsy skills, these people were indeed hacked to death.
Some people were slashed on the main artery in the neck, and some were slashed on the back... The killing method was not specific, and the techniques were not sophisticated. The only connection point was the disfigurement and Cut open the chest and abdomen.
“No wonder Chen Zhixian couldn’t find anything after searching for a long time.”
Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "There's really not much useful information."
Reality is not like costume TV dramas, where you can figure out the details at a glance by running to the corpse and looking at those costume dramas. The methods are very backward. Some big places may have powerful detectives and powerful gangsters, but when small places encounter such cases, they basically just get over it.
In modern times, this is just a matter of checking DNA. In ancient times, it was helpless.
"At least one thing is that these people are all gamblers from the same casino."
Fu Qingzhou blinked and thought to himself: "Would you like to go and take a look..."
As he was thinking, the voice of the tombkeeper of Yizhuang suddenly came from behind him: "Master Chen! Why are you here?"
Fu Qingzhou was startled and turned his head.
The visitor was none other than the magistrate of Chen County. He changed out of his official uniform and put on casual clothes, and walked over carrying a lantern. Mr. Chen is about forty years old, with a goatee and a typical civil servant appearance.
“It’s Mr. Fu.”
When he saw Fu Qingzhou, a little doubt appeared on his face: "What are you doing here so late?"
Fu Qingzhou was a little helpless... The lasting effect of this soul-stirring lure was too short. After a few hours, Chen Zhixian Already a little confused, he couldn't remember clearly the purpose of his "young hero"'s visit.
It seems that this trick cannot be used casually in the future, at least not on people who need to deal with it for a long time.
So he could only look at Chen Zhixian, his eyes slightly condensed again, and he used the spell.
“Oh!”
Chen Zhixian slapped his forehead and a smile appeared on his face: "Young hero are here to do the autopsy, right? It's hard work!"
"Haha." Fu Qingzhou smiled, stretched out his hand to slightly support his dizzy head: "Sir, What are you doing here so late? "
Chen Zhixian sighed: "Zhou Lesheng's family is making trouble again... Shaoxia You also said that there are still doubts about this case, so I thought that since I couldn't sleep, I would Let's take a look."
Fu Qingzhou blinked: "I have seen these corpses, there is nothing special about them, but Mr. Chen, I have some questions to ask you."
"Then. Just ask.”
Chen Zhixian covered his nose and said: "It's just that this is really not a place to talk..."
"Haha, let's leave first and talk while walking." Fu Qingzhou laughed.
The two left Yizhuang and walked towards the Yamen.
"Sir, did you investigate the entire case yourself?" Fu Qingzhou got straight to the point.
Zhixian Chen nodded: "Although there are police officers in the town, they don't know how to investigate the case at all, so I can only do it myself."
Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly: "So, those deceased were all gamblers. Have you checked the casinos they frequented?"
"Of course!"
Zhixian Chen frowned and said: " Otherwise, how could Zhou Lesheng be arrested? "
Fu Qingzhou clearly felt the county magistrate's resistance to this issue.
He currently only has the second realm of Spiritual Aperture, and is not proficient in the use of soul seduction. Although he can induce people to tell the truth under normal circumstances, it is still easy to cause resistance once he touches the content that the other party does not want to talk about. .
But this also has its advantages... At least I understand that Magistrate Chen is not willing to talk about casinos.
Fu Qingzhou's heart flashed and he changed his question: "Then the casino owner doesn't know anything about this matter?"
"He, he has nothing to do with this matter."
Zhixian Chen waved his hand: "Gu Zhengqing is a businessman, or he helped arrest Zhou Lesheng."
Gu Zhengqing must be the name of the casino owner.
Fu Qingzhou's eyes lit up.
He suddenly remembered that something very important was missing from the file he read today.
Zhou Lesheng’s confession!
But he did not ask directly. Since Chen Zhixian did not send this object, it means that there is something wrong with this confession.
“I understand.”
Fu Qingzhou endured his dizziness and used the soul-catching lure again: "Can I see Zhou Lesheng?"
