Chapter 13 Threads

What Shen Hao is good at is to quickly sort out the thread from the mess.

Using the known to deduce the unknown, this is the most basic skill of a police academy graduate, and it is also a skill he has specially honed and strengthened in Xuanqing Guard over the years.

"Have you read the "Xuanqing Case News" every month? Do you still have an impression of the major cases in various places?" Shen Hao did not answer Wang Jian's question directly, but chatted about a Xuanqing case. Guardian internal publications.

"I have seen most of them and remember them clearly."

"Then tell me how many cases involving evil cultivators have occurred in various places from the beginning of last year to now?"

"Huh? This should be about two hundred, right?"

"Two hundred and seventy-eight cases. If you think about it again, how many of these cases involving evil cultivators are actively targeting us Xuan Qingwei?"

"This..." Wang Jian's memory is not as perverted as Shen Hao's, and he didn't pay attention usually, so he couldn't answer Shen Hao's question at this time.

"There are only five incidents. This shows that although the evil cultivators are very arrogant, they are actually very afraid of us Xuan Qingwei, and they dare not take the initiative to provoke us. Then think about last night, why there was an evil cultivator controlling a A third-grade evil spirit came to actively attack our case handling station?"

"." Knowing that Shen Hao was teaching him, Wang Jian began to think carefully. Yes, although the cultivators of the evil sect are powerful, they are still far behind Xuan Qingwei. In most cases, the cultivators of the evil sect are the ones who are under siege, so where do they have the courage to take the initiative to provoke trouble?

Have a grudge? Or is there another purpose?

It's hard to talk about hatred, but is there really any last resort?

Wang Jian felt that he understood a little bit, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Xiao Qi, you mean that dog has a reason to bark its teeth at us?"

"If a dog is in a hurry, it will jump over the wall. The other party has the courage to take the initiative to attack our resident. There must be a reason for taking risks. If you find it, this case is probably not far from being closed. Maybe you can even help the dead brothers to avenge it. .”

"You mean we can find that dog again?"

"Try to know."

Wang Jian did not continue this topic, but secretly determined in his heart that he would not let go of any clues, and that he would find out the evil monk from last night and kill him whenever he had the slightest chance.

"By the way, have you dealt with Zhuangzi's affairs? Have you found anything?"

"It's been dealt with. There are several obvious traces of life inside, and the embers in the stove are also very new. At least someone has lived there in the past ten days. Coupled with the violent reaction of Zhuixie Pan, I deduce that it is very likely It was the evil cultivator who came to attack the resident last night."

As for why he didn't suspect that someone else lived in that abandoned Zhuangzi, Wang Jian didn't explain, and Shen Hao didn't need him to explain.

In a dead place with such strong yin qi, accompanied by the smell of corpses and stench, not to mention ordinary people, even animals are reluctant to stay longer, except for scavenging rats or evil monks who are already in harmony with yin qi.

Shen Hao also agreed with Wang Jian's analysis.

"That Zhuangzi is the property of the Qi family, and it is mostly used to dispose of the corpses buried under the Zhuangzi. Now there are evil monks staying there. This series seems to confirm that your Qi family was a blood trafficker before. guess."

The main target of the blood traffickers is the evil cultivator, but Shen Hao never thought that the voice behind the Qi family would be directly mixed with the evil cultivator.

Colluding with cultivators from the evil sect is a serious crime for exterminating the nine races!

"Boom boom boom!"

The two were chatting when a guard of Xuanqing knocked on the door and walked in, holding a portrait in his hand.

"Report, this is the portrait described by the waiter and the concierge of Fengyuan Inn after repeated memories. It is said that there are indeed customers in the store who often meet with a few homeless people."

While speaking, he handed the portrait to Shen Hao.

Shen Hao lowered his head and saw that the portrait was a thin middle-aged man in his early fifties with a simple and honest face, which he thought looked familiar!

"This is Xiao Chongliu?!"

Not only Shen Hao was dazed, but even Wang Jian beside him was stunned. Who would have thought that the news from Fengyuan Inn would point directly at a person who should have disappeared without a trace.

Shen Hao waved his hand to make the strongman retreat, and after repeatedly confirming that the portrait was correct, it was indeed Xiao Chongliu, he let out a hard breath, and unconsciously rubbed the center of his brows with his hands.

Head pain.

But Wang Jian was not idle, and rushed out immediately to transfer the detailed investigation records from Fengyuan Inn. He had arranged for the people below to do this before, but now he can't wait to break it by himself.

"According to the memories of the inn's waiter, Xiao Chongliu went to Fengyuan Inn for the last time on the morning of March 23rd, and booked a box near the back door."

"Near the back door?"

"Yes, opening the door of that box can lead directly to the back door of the inn. There are few people passing by there. If the waiter of the inn just happened to go to the tea room to refill the water at that time, he might not have seen that Xiao Chongliu met three homeless people there."

"Three? Are you sure it's Xie Shan, Chen Erniu, and Ma Jiu?"

"I can be sure that Xiao Er is the same as the two idlers who were chatting at the alley of the inn at that time. It is not wrong to show them the portraits of these three people."

"Ka Ka Ka"

Listening to Wang Jian's report, Shen Hao knocked on the table subconsciously, his mind was in a mess.

I thought that finding the person who met the three homeless men including Chen Erniu in Fengyuan Inn would reveal the truth behind the case of killing the family, no matter how bad it was, it would push the progress of the case a big step forward, but now I didn't expect The person who appeared in Fengyuan Inn was actually Xiao Chongliu.

If the previous guesses are correct, then Xiao Chongliu should be directly related to the deaths of Ma Jiu, Xie Shan, and Chen Erniu. It is even possible that these three people were killed by Xiao Chongliu.

In this way, Xiao Chongliu may not have disappeared but hid, and he may even have contact with the evil cultivator who ran away last night.

But Xiao Chongliu was dug out, what about Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing who disappeared with him? Where is it again?

Although his forehead hurts, Shen Hao also understands that this appearance has helped him cut off many possibilities of mistakes, and reorganized the clues of the whole case back to the Qi family itself.

"It seems that if we want to know the truth, we must continue to dig deep into the details of the Qi family. Wang Jian, go to the Yamen again to find out the details of Xiao Chongliu. His hometown, parents, relatives, and life. Don't be afraid of trouble. Touch it again, if you are in another place, ask the general flag to help coordinate, I only give you one day, go quickly!"

"Yes, Xiao Qi, I will definitely give you a letter before dinner!" After speaking, Wang Jian rushed out.

Not long after Wang Jian left, an order issued by Shen Hao was implemented: All Xuanqing Guards and Wuyang City Guards began to speed up the investigation of the whole city, and the scope of investigation was expanded to all Zhuangzi and villages around Wuyang City , with the posture of digging three feet into the ground, and each soldier has a portrait in his hand, it is Xiao Chongliu.
