Chapter 459

"I'm going to investigate something. Originally, I thought that the two homicides of the Hao family and the Deng family were related to the centuries-old grievances on the Demon Wall, but now that Mrs. Shi is dead, the connection is somewhat untenable. However, the three The homicide case has two things in common!"

"Same murderer, same weapon!"

"Who the murderer is, I don't know for the time being, but the murder weapon, I suspect is a murder knife used by the executioner!"

In the three murder cases, Huang Yuanzheng had a very clear judgment, that is, the murder weapon was a big knife!

A weapon capable of chopping off a person's head!

This is a very important clue. According to Huang Yuanzheng's murderer, it is not difficult to kill a person, but with a knife, every time, the victim's head can be chopped off with a single knife. This murderer is not simple. Holding a knife is not easy, the murderer must have been professionally trained!

Why do you say that?
Although no one has witnessed the dangerous scene, it is not known exactly how the murderer committed the crime.

But one thing is undeniable, whether it is the three members of the Hao family or the four members of the Deng family, the murderer did not kill all the targets quietly. For example, killing Hao Rengui alarmed the wife and daughter in the inner room. Although the daughter was panicked and unable to resist, it didn't mean she hadn't resisted, at least she couldn't have stood still and let the murderer kill her, she would definitely move.

Huang Yuanzheng said that it is impossible for an ordinary murderer to end the battle with one knife in the process of killing seven individuals, without needing to make up the knife at all?Moreover, no matter how sharp a general broadsword is, it is impossible to cut off the head seven times in a row, because the neck has bones, and if the strength is a little weak, it may not be able to cut off the head with one blow!

But in fact, the seven dead, should be eight dead, except after being beheaded, there were no other wounds on their bodies!

Killing with one knife, beheading with one knife is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Combined with the grievances between the Hao family, the Deng family and the Shi family, Wei Qing thought of a murder weapon with this ability, that is the executioner's murder knife!

Nowadays, there is no custom of execution and beheading. Those executioners in the late Qing Dynasty died long ago, and not many of the knives used by those executioners have been handed down.If the murderer is holding a murder knife, then he must have received professional training as an executioner, and it is not easy to get a murder knife left over from ancient times!
Following this clue, there may be surprising means.

What Huang Yuanzheng said is correct, whether it is a guess or a fact, it is necessary to pay attention to the evidence. Without evidence, even if you know that he broke the law, it is useless!Therefore, Wei Qing needs some hard evidence to prove his guess, and it is useless to just guess blindly.

An hour later, Wei Qing came to the Historical and Cultural Collection Hall of Dadu River Ancient City.

Many tourists from other places wandered around the museum, and some tour guides explained the stories behind each treasure in the museum to tourists, but Wei Qing and the two left after listening to a few words. These tour guides are not bad at fooling tourists. , The investigation of Wei Qing is useless at all.

"Are you looking for an interview with our museum owner?" Wei Qing explained the source to the staff of the collection museum, and the staff glanced at the business card of the vice president of Xiao's company that Wei Qing took out, a little puzzled.Wei Qing laughed and said: "Our group also has a media business. This time I was originally here to visit the ancient city of Dadu River. I learned about this collection with the guide just now. I think it's very interesting, so I wonder if I can give an exclusive interview here. Let more Yangcheng know about this place?"

"Yes, yes." The female staff member was a little flattered. Xiao Zekai is on the Forbes rich list. Even in this ancient city of Dadu River, even younger people have heard of the Xiao Group. Seeing this The vice president of a large company came here in person to promote the collection, so naturally he enthusiastically led Wei Qing to the office. The owner of the collection was an old man with gray hair, and he was looking at it with a magnifying glass A stone in a box on the table, seeing someone knock on the door, said a word without even raising his head, Wei Qing walked in, and the staff member backed out.

"You are……"

After Wei Qing and the two entered, they didn't make a sound. It took a while for the old owner to look up at the two young men in front of him.

When the old owner raised his head, he almost bumped into Wei Qing who was behind him. Wei Qing looked at the sky-replenishing stone in the box with a shocked face. How could he not have thought that he would see this sky-replenishing stone again here? Such luck There was no one left, Wei Qing pushed it quickly, and said with a smile: "Master, do you know this thing too?"

"I don't know." The old owner shook his head, then showed a hint of surprise, and asked, "Do you know the origin of this thing?"

Wei Qing nodded and said, "You know a thing or two, right?"

Since he bumped into a sky-replenishing stone, he had to fool the sky-replenishing stone no matter what.

"Hehe, a few students ago I discovered this stone during the development of an ancient tomb in the suburbs. It is an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty. From the specifications of the ancient tomb, it is at least considered a high-ranking official. I thought there would be a lot of sacrificial objects in this ancient tomb, and at worst there should be some ceramics such as Tang Sancai, but in such a huge coffin, besides the owner's skeleton, I found this stone inside the coffin. It’s the first time I’ve seen it, so I guess there’s something about it, but I’ve searched and asked a lot, but there’s no clue!”

Wei Qing laughed and said, "It's a seven-color Luan jade!"

"This kind of stone is a relatively rare ore, as rare as a diamond. It has two major uses. If it is polished and placed in water, it can emit colorful light under the light, so it is called Colorful Luan Jade, I saw this thing in the fountain pool of a rich man's mansion. However, it has another function, which many people don't know, that is, it can be used to ward off evil spirits. This kind of stone is divided into attributes, with yin and yang It’s either hot or cold to the touch!”

The old owner said in surprise: "No wonder I feel a little chilly when I hold it in my hand..."

"Hehe, if this thing didn't come from an ancient tomb, it can be sold for a good price if you meet someone who knows the goods. However, if this seven-color Luan jade came from an ancient tomb, it is obvious that the owner of the tomb room put it in the coffin to ward off evil spirits. It is used to expel snakes and insects, and to avoid being disturbed by ghosts and gods after death, so I think it must be contaminated with some evil spirits, so don’t carry it on your body all the time, so as not to be possessed by evil spirits.”

The old owner shook his head and said with a chuckle, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods." But he still put the mending stone back into the box in his hand, and wiped his hands with the towel on the table. He is still a little bit taboo.Wei Qing took the opportunity to say: "If the old owner is willing to part with it, you can sell it to me."

The old museum owner shook his head and said, "No, no, this is a cultural relic from an ancient tomb."

"This is my business card!" Wei Qing handed over his business card. The title of vice president of the Xiao Group is naturally convincing, Wei Qing said with a smile: "I bought it for no other purpose, just for embellishment It’s just a swimming pool. Besides, if it’s a cultural relic, someone needs to know it. Isn’t that your old saying? If the owner of the museum is willing to part with it, I’m willing to donate 3000 million, no, 5000 million, to this collection in my own name! "

The old owner was a little surprised, but he still shook his head and said, "It's not about money. I will retire in half a year, and I don't want to lose my insurance in my later years. Although this thing has not been put on file yet, I do everything with my conscience." Words, cultural relics are cultural relics, and have nothing to do with money."
