I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

This person's name is Di Renjie, and he is the principal of Dali Temple. He has solved many major cases.

"Go and see the scene first, and then talk about it after reading it."

"Yes!"

Di Renjie responded, and led his people to check from room to room.

Afterwards, Gu Ming summoned Di Renjie and Lu Shilang to the pavilion in the backyard to start analyzing the case.

"Master Gu, according to the officials, this should be a vendetta. Otherwise, who would have such a great hatred to commit such a massacre?"

"I don't know if Mr. Lu has any suspicious candidates? Or, do you know who General Feng has a grudge against?"

Lu Shilang shook his head and smiled wryly: "Master Gu, I don't dare to speculate on such matters.

But there is one thing, according to the subordinates' ears, General Feng is strict in running the army, with a stern face, even if the most trusted cronies violate military discipline, he will punish them severely according to military law. "

"Oh?" Gu Ming raised his eyebrows: "I don't know much about General Feng, so I wonder if Mr. Lu can tell you something?"

"this"

Lu Shilang seemed a little embarrassed.

"Lord Lu, normally this official would never inquire about these matters. However, now is a special moment. Only by fully understanding General Feng's interpersonal relationship will it be beneficial for us to crack this case.

Earlier, Eunuch Pang conveyed the emperor's intention, hoping that we could solve the case before General Feng rushed back to the capital, so as to give General Feng an explanation. "

"This"

Hearing this, Lu Shilang couldn't help but change his expression.

"Lord Lu, if there are no special circumstances, General Feng should return to the capital in about half a month.

Although the emperor did not expressly order me to solve the case within a time limit, it is obvious that I hope that we can solve the case before General Feng returns to Beijing, so as to give General Feng an explanation.

If I wait for a long time without any results, then how should I face the emperor and General Feng?

Therefore, at this time, Mr. Lu can put aside all worries and tell you everything you know or doubt, which will help us find clues from it. "

"All right"

Lu Shilang sighed helplessly.

Although it was inappropriate to talk about other colleagues behind their backs, he knew very well that if the case was not solved in time, his future might be ruined.

After all, in order to appease General Feng, the emperor must put on a show and punish several officials with the excuse of ineffective handling of the case

"That's right, I've heard many colleagues mention General Feng's affairs, saying that his style of acting is too straightforward and he doesn't know how to be flexible.

Offending people is inevitable with a character like this.

Take last year as an example, one of his lieutenants led the team to a victory, so happy, he took a few of his cronies to the post station to drink, and secretly sent someone to find a few girls to accompany him

In the end, I don't know how General Feng found out about this, and he was furious on the spot, and ordered the deputy general and several of his men to be tied up in the camp.

That lieutenant general has followed General Feng for more than ten years and has made countless achievements.However, General Feng still didn't give any face

Moreover, one of the subordinates who received the military stick at that time was the nephew of General Feng's original wife.

The reason why this matter spread was because the lieutenant defected with some henchmen after he recovered from his injury.

Fortunately, he was intercepted halfway and was killed in the melee."

"It was so"

Gu Ming nodded thoughtfully.

From this point of view, the general's behavior style is indeed easy to offend people.

However, to what extent can you offend someone, so that the other party will be so cruel, regardless of the risk of killing the Jiu Clan?

"Does Master Di have any ideas?"

Gu Ming glanced at Di Renjie and asked.

"My lord, in my subordinate's opinion, this case may not be as simple as a vendetta."

"Oh? Tell me your reason."

"My lord, General Feng has been stationed at the border for many years. His interpersonal relationship is not complicated, and there are not many people who can have conflicts with him.

It is easy for us to lock down the suspects in a small area when such a big case of extermination occurs.

The other party obviously understands this truth, even if there is a great hatred, it is unlikely to do such a crazy act.

Because, no matter how clean his hands and feet are, no matter how well-planned his plan is, as long as he has a problem with General Feng, we will lock him up sooner or later. "

Gu Ming nodded with satisfaction: "The analysis is good, let's continue."

"Yes!"

"Also, after careful inspection by the subordinates, all the deadly injuries of the deceased seemed to be the same, they were all sealed with a knife, but there were still subtle differences in the techniques.

At first, the subordinates speculated that the murderer was a professional killer, but later, there was another guess."

"Well, I have also noticed the subtle difference you mentioned. Judging from the method, there is no doubt that there are three murderers."

Upon hearing this, Master Di immediately applauded: "My lord is really observant, and my subordinates admire him!"

"Okay, okay, don't take pictures, the official has seen this little detail, and more details have to be analyzed by you, a professional."

“Adults are overrated”

"Don't be humble, hurry up and talk."

"Yes, my lord. The opinions of my subordinates and your lord are the same. The murderers are three people, all of whom are masters with knives, and one of them is left-handed."

Hearing this, Lu Shilang looked surprised: "Master Di, can you spot left-handed people too?"

"That's right, the wound looks almost horizontal from the surface, but if you look closely at the incision, you can see some clues.

There will be subtle differences between the right hand and the left hand in terms of angle and incision.

It is even possible to judge the murderer's general height, body shape and other characteristics from the location and strength of the knife."

"amazing!"

Lu Shilang looked like he had finally learned a lot.

In fact, to say that God is not God, to put it bluntly, this is traceology.

Everything in the world, all traces are traceable.

An excellent scout can quickly judge a person's gender, height, body height, body characteristics and other key information through the footprints of a person.

However, this is also a profound knowledge. It is easy to get started, but difficult to master. It requires extremely high talent and keen observation skills, and can see details that others cannot see.

"By the way, Master Di, judging from the clean and neat methods of these three people, they should be professional killers, right?"

Lu Shilang couldn't help asking.

"Well, it should be, but"

Master Di hesitated to speak.

"But what?"

"Master Gu, my subordinates have repeatedly observed and compared, and the opponent's method is indeed like a professional killer, but my subordinates always feel that there is a certain connection."

"What connection?"

"Although there are subtle differences in the methods of the three murderers, I can be sure that the methods of the three murderers are the same. That is to say, the three of them are most likely brothers of the same sect."

"Oh?" Gu Ming raised his eyebrows: "You mean, these three murderers may be disciples of the Jianghu sect or the same family?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Of course, some killer organizations will also conduct unified training for killers.

Therefore, we can't fix our thinking now and believe that the murderer must be the killer, or he may be a martial artist. "

Gu Ming tapped the stone table lightly, and murmured: "If people in the martial arts say this, then what is the difference between the other party and General Feng?"

"This subordinate is not clear, how about asking the survivors in the mansion about the situation?"

"Well, I have to ask"

Gu Ming nodded, and then said solemnly: "Remember, the clues that the three of us sorted out just now must be kept secret for the time being, and we cannot tell anyone to prevent the news from leaking."

"Yes!",

Both Di Renjie and Di Renjie responded in unison.

Next, he began to question the few surviving servants in the mansion.

However, these servants were obviously frightened and stupid, and they couldn't find any reason after asking. Gu Ming went out himself and couldn't find any useful clues.

Then you can only ask the family members.

General Feng's mother was very old, and after this blow, she became dumbfounded.

General Feng's daughter is only eight years old, and she didn't even know what happened when the accident happened, she was always asleep.

As for the youngest son who is only two years old, what can he expect to find out?

The only one who could answer a few words was the third lady.

"My lords, you must catch the murderer and avenge dozens of lives in my Fengfu."

As soon as they met, the third lady cried bitterly, crying to death.

This is also understandable, let alone a woman, even a tough man would find it difficult to keep calm when he encounters such a catastrophe.

"Third Madam mourns my Majesty's order to thoroughly investigate this case, and will definitely bring the murderer to justice, so as to comfort the spirits of all the victims in Fengfu."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

The third lady kept crying, and Gu Ming didn't feel like urging her, so she could only wait for her to calm down.

When she was almost crying, she asked softly: "Third Madam, did you hear anything last night?"

"No, my concubine went to bed with Lin'er very early last night. It wasn't until dawn that I was awakened by screams.

When I got up and took a look, I found that the mansion was already humming."

Speaking of sadness, the third lady began to cover her face and cry bitterly again.

"Okay, Third Madam, take a good rest."

After going out, Gu Ming whispered to Di Renjie: "You stay here and guard, and none of the surviving personnel in the mansion is allowed to leave.

Also, except for those from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and our Dali Temple, no other irrelevant people are allowed to enter.

I will go to the palace once, and come back later. "

"Yes, my lord!"

After that, Gu Ming greeted several officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and then left General Feng's mansion for the palace.

The palace, the imperial study.

"Aiqing, do you have a clue so soon?"

Seeing Gu Ming, Emperor Yongping hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is like this"

Gu Ming explained the situation at the scene and the inferences of the crowd in detail.

After listening, Emperor Yongping couldn't help but frowned: "So, there is still no clue about the identity of the murderer?"

"Not yet, but I have a discovery"

"Ha, I knew there must be a clue for Ai Qing to rush into the palace."

At this time, Emperor Yongping finally cheered up again.

"Your Majesty, I found General Feng's third wife to be quite suspicious."

"What?" Emperor Yongping was stunned: "General Feng's third wife? What's suspicious about her?"

"Although she has always shown a look of grief, but I can feel that there is always a trace of panic inadvertently showing between her eyebrows and eyes."

"This should be normal, right? After all, she was so frightened."

"No, her panic is not the panic of being frightened, but the panic of a ghost in her heart.

On this point, I believe that the minister will not be wrong.

Even if the killer wasn't found by this woman, she must have something shady. "
