Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 260: Crazy

Sixteen corpses died in different ways. Some were beheaded by sharp weapons, some were burned to charcoal by fire, and a few died without the slightest trauma on their bodies. Sitting in the hall was Jiang He, the commander of the Central Book of the Daming Mansion. At this time, Zuo Zuo was standing below the hall, holding a corpse in his hand, reporting the cause of death of these people to Master Jiang: "Sir, a total of sixteen died at the scene. Among them, Hong Chong's two parents, three wives and concubines, two sons, four daughters, and the remaining five are all subordinates of the Hong family. The subordinates just glanced at the cause of death of everyone, and two of them were burned. Five people were killed by cutting their heads with sharp weapons, two were hanged, and three were killed by digging their hearts out.

Afterwards, the head of the third class of the yamen said about his own inspection of the scene: "My subordinates have inspected the murder scene. Except for these sixteen people, there are no signs of any changes in the family's belongings. Among them, Hong Chong His wife and concubines, and all the jewelry worn by their children. There are 200 taels of silver and 130 pieces of copper coins stored in the box at home, and no one has ever touched them. My subordinates suspect that this case is a vendetta, and please understand.”

After seeing the sixteen corpses in the hall, this middle book made the adult's scalp go numb. Just a few months after I took office, such a big case happened. After reporting to the imperial court, a charge of poor management and rampant thieves cannot escape. If it doesn't work out, he will be dismissed and dismissed from office. He originally wanted to come to Daming Mansion to operate for a few years and raise some capital for officials to enter Beijing in the future.

At the moment, Jiang He waved his hand and asked people to remove the corpses. Then he said to his yamen, "Recall all the three classes of yamen, the thieves must still be in the city and not far away. There will not be only one or two people who have committed such a big case, nor will it be done by the locals of Damingfu. You must strictly investigate the outsiders in the city and find the perpetrators among them. From tomorrow morning, the entrance of the Daming Palace is not allowed, and this official will give you five days to catch these perpetrators. Do you understand?"

Hearing that Zhongshu ordered the adults to solve the case within five days, they all rushed forward to report: "My Lord, there are only more than 200 yamen in the third class, and 200,000 people in the city. It is really difficult to catch the murderer within five days. Please also ask the adults for a few days."

After Jiang He snorted coldly, he said: "The yamen of the Daming Mansion will take out a hundred more yamen for you, and they will be under your command. The five-day time limit will remain unchanged. If one day exceeds the time limit, all of you will be punished. Twenty slaps. Fifty additional sentences for exceeding the time limit! Don't waste any more time, hurry up and track down the culprit."

In desperation, they all retreated first, and set up cards with their subordinates. Some people went to the vicinity of Hong's house to check for clues. Others searched outsiders from house to house in Damingfu. All the outsiders were detained in the cells and allowed to expose each other. If this case is not solved for a day, these people will not be able to leave the cell of Daming House for a day. By dawn, the cell was already overcrowded. The capital also borrowed a thousand soldiers from the four city gates to guard these foreigners.

After seeing Dutou retreating, Jiang He questioned Hong Chong who reported the case again, and said: "Bitter Lord, your family has created a lot of trouble, and you must have something to do with it. List them out, maybe the murderers are among these people."

Originally, Hong Chong was also suspected, but Mr. Jiang really couldn't imagine anyone who would savagely kill the young and the old by himself. It is impossible to have such a person, but this Hong Chong also has a great relationship, maybe it is the relationship he forged with someone when he was doing business outside, and he was killed.

When he was speaking, a scribe had already put a pen and paper in front of Hong Chong and asked him to write a list of those who had enemies with him. At this time, Hong Chong didn't insist that he had no enemies anymore. While weeping bitterly, he wrote down all the enemies he could remember from childhood to adulthood. From the urchin who fought as a child to when he was in business, he scolds his peers for haggling, and he wrote them down on paper one by one.

At this time, Zhongshu also gave the adults a headache. He called his master over to see if there were any loopholes. The master said in a low voice, "Students think this case is weird. If it's a person seeking revenge, it would be fine to kill with a knife. Why is it so troublesome? It was killed with a knife and burned with fire, and there may be some monsters in the rivers and lakes. Sir, If the demon is involved in this matter, you should make plans early. Wu and Feng are not the opponents of the demon..."

After being reminded by the master, Jiang He also became enlightened. At the moment, he hurriedly said to Hong Chong, who was still writing the name below: "Bitter Lord, think about it carefully, have you offended any warlocks recently? Think clearly, your murder case may have something to do with them."

After being reminded by Jiang He, Hong Chong immediately said: "There is one thing. When I was selling grain in Shaohua County last month, a sloppy Taoist exchanged a pile of dead mice for 100 stone of grain. I thought he was a lunatic, so I asked the guys to drive the Taoist away. The Taoist cursed me a few times while he was running, saying that my family, young and old, would have to die... He wouldn't kill me for something like this The whole family?"

At this time, the master whispered a few words in Jiang He's ear. Lord Zhongshuling immediately said to Hong Chong: "Bitter Master, think carefully about how the dead mice that the mad Taoist gave you were killed? You need to think carefully, and don't make any mistakes..."

"That pile of dead mice?" Hong Chong lowered his head to think for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears. He cried and said: "It's the mad Taoist... The rats were burned to death, some were beheaded, and some were dug out of their hearts... It's exactly the same as the death of my hard-working family... The old man gave the youngest Democracy is in charge..."

"What's the surname of the mad Taoist? Do you remember what you saw in the gym?" After hearing Hong Chong's words, Lord Jiang's eyes began to light up.

"I can't remember...my parents...the child is unfilial and hurt you..." At this time, Hong Chong understood that it was the mad Taoist who did it. He fell to the ground crying and fell to the ground. With support, he stood up. Hearing the cry, Jiang He frowned. Immediately, the clerk was called over and said, "Go to the painter and ask the master of suffering to tell the face of the murderer. After the painting is finished, send it to the two Dutou, and let them use the portrait to capture the person."

Seeing Hong Chong crying bitterly, Jiang He also sighed. He waved his hand to the yamen and said, "Bring the master of suffering to your room to rest. When the painter arrives, let him find the portrait of the master of suffering."

Seeing that Hong Chong was being helped out, Master Jiang ordered to retire. When he was about to return to the back hall to rest, he was suddenly stopped by his master: "Sir, this matter involves the Jianghu monster. The yamen are disturbed and annoyed. It's not good to come to the yamen to find the adults. It's not good. Please prepare early..."

After being reminded by the master, Master Jiang realized that killing sixteen people was like a joke. If he wanted to come to the yamen to assassinate him, those yamen officers were really not his opponents. Thinking of the sixteen corpses he saw just now, Jiang He's cold sweat was also shed. At the moment, he said to the master: "Then what should I do? This officer will go out and hide first, and then come back after the demon is brought to justice?"

"That's not necessary." The master approached Master Jiang and said in his ear: "Since it was done by a demon, then it would be good to find a famous monk to deal with. When you were a prefect, you made friends with The old immortal is in the Daming Mansion at this time. Why don't you wait any longer?"

"This official was also impatient, and even forgot about Tang Xianchang." Jiang He patted his forehead lightly, and immediately said to the master: "Go to Qing Tang Xianchang in person and tell the murder case that happened. He. If Tang Xianchang is too embarrassed to deal with it, he must recommend other immortals. Be sure to arrest this lunatic and bring him to justice.”

After the master agreed, he said goodbye to Lord Zhongshuling, and then took the small sedan to the gym outside the city to ask for help from Tang Xianchang he just said. After watching the master leave, Jiang He's heart felt a little more confident.

When the sky was slightly bright, the painter had already painted the portrait of the mad Taoist. At this time, the master also invited Tang Xianchang to the yamen.
