Nightwatcher Chapter 67: Case analysis


   There are two Fuguo counties in the capital, Taikang and Changle.

   Song Tingfeng began to read the dossier, Xu Qi'an and Zhu Guangxiu stood on the left and right, staring at the dossier together.

  The contents of the dossier are as follows:

   There is a Dahuang Mountain in the north of Taikang County. The main peak is more than one thousand meters high. The mountain range is more than ten kilometers in length and contains rich limestone.

   has supported hundreds of gray households in the surrounding area.

   Huihu, the artisan who mines lime.

  Beginning in the middle of the year, a monster came out of the river in the Dahuang Mountain area, and it often went ashore to devour living people. There have been many deaths among the monsters.

   "Lack of details..." Xu Qi'an, a veteran criminal investigator, made a judgment after reading the file.

   This should be a case just reported, so we need to investigate and improve the file.

   Li Yuchun glanced over the three of them, and said with a serious face: "Xu Ningyan, tighten the saber two inches, the gong is not tied upright enough, and it is tilted one inch to the left."

  ... Neuropathy, your obsessive-compulsive disorder is late. Xu Qi'an said: "Yes!"

   walked out of Chunfengtang and just crossed the threshold, Xu Qi'an suddenly felt a lumps stepped on his feet, he naturally lowered his head to pick it up, but suddenly froze.

   Silver...heavier.

   "Go." Song Tingfeng turned his head and urged.

   "Oh, good." Xu Qi'an took the broken silver into his arms and stepped to keep up.

  ......

In the hall, Li Yuchun took out the purse from the box, hung it on his waist, and was about to go out, frowning sharply.

   opened the purse and poured out a pile of broken silver, counted it carefully, and immediately frowned: "I lost three silver..."

   As a person who was ridiculed by his colleagues for "cannot get along with the money", three coins were enough for him to hurt until dark.

   The three of them were fighting outside the yamen, and they saw the arrest of Jingzhao Mansion. There were also three people, the leader was actually a woman, and the other two were slightly younger.

   Jingzhao Mansion is commonly known as Fuya.

   The three fast-catching messengers are not much different from Xu Qi'an's quick-hand messengers, with a black base and red piping on the neckline and cuffs.

  The embroidered on the chest is not the word "catcher", but a majestic beast.

   One Qi Refining State, two Refining State... Xu Qi'an calmly observed the three.

The woman headed by    clasped her fists and said: "Three adults, lowly Lu Qing. I have ordered someone to lead the horse to the gate of the city, let's get on the carriage and talk."

   Riding a horse is to hurry, and riding a carriage is to give everyone a space to talk about things without losing time.

  Bigengren has a high status, and other yamen catchers are naturally short when they see Dagengren. However, although this woman in the Qi state is called an adult, her attitude is neither humble nor overbearing.

   A spacious carriage parked on the side of the street, and six people in it were not too crowded.

  The three people who beat the guards are sitting on the same side, and the three people from the government office are sitting on the other side.

   Song Tingfeng introduced herself with a smile, and also introduced Zhu Guangxiao and Xu Qi'an.

   "You should be no stranger to this person. He was locked up in the government office when the tax and silver case was first."

  The three arresters of Jingzhao Mansion looked closely at Xu Qi'an.

   The female catcher who claims to be Lv Qing clasped her fists and said: "Look up for a long time."

The    tax and silver case was handled by the government office. As the chief government officer, she remembered Xu Qi'an.

   At that time, I felt that this person was quite capable, and repeatedly persuaded Lord Fu Yin to recruit him to serve in the government office...Lv Qing saw that Xu Qi'an had become a guard, and sighed with regret.

   Xu Qi'an smiled and said a few humble words, and looked at the female head catcher vaguely.

   It’s rare for a woman to catch the head.

Not all women of the Dafeng Dynasty were raised in boudoirs. For some highly talented women, various yamen would give certain cultivation.

   This female head catcher has a nice face, probably in her early thirties, her eyebrows are thicker than those of ordinary women, and she has a brave look.

   The graceful figure reveals the vigor of a female leopard. The chest is swollen, it should be wearing a corset underwear.

   Speaking of it, Xu Qi'an didn't know until now why the tax and silver case was not transferred to the Criminal Ministry, but the government office and Dagengmen coordinated the case. He was also surprised at the beginning.

   Because the Ministry of Justice and Zhou Shi Lang of the Ministry of Housing are eye-catching, they have accomplices.

   These details have not come to light until now.

   "The content of the file is simple, and many details are not clear. Your government took over the case first. Let's talk to each other." Song Tingfeng said:

  "When did the monster appear."

   "June and July." The woman's head-catching voice was slightly smoky and very magnetic.

   "Does anyone see what the monster looks like?" Song Tingfeng asked again.

  "In the beginning, the local Hui households often disappeared. When the family looked for them, they found the monster's paw prints and blood stains by the river. After that, one after another Hui households disappeared, and there were more and more paw prints on the river bank. ...

  "The local chief gathered the Hui households and cast nets in the river, intending to hunt the monsters. But without success, the fishing nets were easily bitten..."

   is an amphibian! Xu Qi said with a heart.

   After listening to Song Tingfeng, he frowned and asked: "What I am puzzled about is, why is it reported in June and July?"

  "The monster only swallowed the Huihu who entered the mountain and did not attack the village, so the Taikang county magistrate didn't care about it at first. Until more and more people died, the trappers were sent to join the Huihu to hunt the monster, but nothing was found. "

   Lu Qing frequently looked at Xu Qi'an when she was speaking, but to her disappointment, this talent who broke the tax and silver case kept his eyebrows frozen.

  "After a few times, the Taikang county magistrate was reluctant to take care of it. In other words, as Jingcha approached, he not only did not handle the case, but instead planned to suppress it."

   Zhu Guangxiao said solemnly: "Then why did it report again?"

   Lv Qing was silent for a while, and said: "The gray households dare not go up the mountain to burn the ashes, but the tax still has to be paid. If there is no way, they will go into the mountain and avoid the river. As a result, there was an accident...

   "The more than 20 people who went into the mountain to burn ashes never came back. There was really no way for the nearby Hui households to report to the government office."

   Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao glanced at each other, and said nothing.

   Tuk Tuk...

  At this time, Xu Qi'an knocked on the long stool, looked at the three people in Jingzhao Mansion, and asked, "Is there a map of Dahuang Mountain and nearby villages?"

   "I brought it. Considering that the realm of the monster is unknown, we plan to explore it by ourselves. We don't bring the local Hui households to avoid accidents. We can't take care of it." Lu Qing looked at the colleague who was sitting sideways. The colleague took the burden from him Take out a volume of atlas.

   Xu Qi'an took the map and slowly unfolded it. This is a geological map of the Rhubarb Mountain Range.

   looked carefully for a moment, Xu Qi'an said: "I have a guess, I think I should let you know."

   everyone in the carriage looked over~IndoMTL.com~Song Tingfeng smiled and squinted.

  The woman's head-catching eyes light up, and she sits upright: "Please speak."

   Xu Qi'an said: "It attacks the people regularly, or in other words, has a strong purpose. This may not be a simple monster chaos."

   Lu Qing frowned her delicate eyebrows: "Why do you say this."

  "At first, it only swallowed the ash households near the river, and then its range began to expand, radiating outward from both sides of the river. It went to the mountains and swallowed the ash households. This was not purely for hunting.

  "First of all, the Dahuang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and Hanoi has no shortage of fish and shrimps. The choice of beasts is based on the environment, not their own tastes. If there is no shortage of food around, it will never give up near and far. , In order to eat a good bite, specially go into the mountains to hunt the people.

  "Secondly, if it is a wise monster, unlike wild beasts, it just likes to eat people. Then it will not turn a blind eye to nearby villages. But it does not. It only swallows the gray households near Dahuang Mountain.

  According to behavioral psychology analysis, this is a conscious drive. "

  Behavioral psychology? ! Lv Qing meditated: "Zone the site?"

   Without waiting for Xu Qi'an to answer, Song Tingfeng shook his head: "No, if it had wisdom, it would never plot a site in this way. To plot a site in the outskirts of the capital is no different from hunting for death. And if it's just a wild beast , Will not act to drive out gray households."

   Lu Qing thought for a while, his pupils shrunk slightly: "Is there anything in Dahuang Mountain that makes it care."

   There was a brief silence in the carriage.

  PS: In the future, I will write a "Guide to the Evaluation of Dafeng Oiran Girl" on the public account. Well, I didn't write it, but please enthusiastic readers.
