Chapter 154 My sister is very powerful
Today is a day off. Song Junyan and Tang Quyan were originally at Sun's mansion celebrating his birthday, but they were hurriedly called away before they even had lunch.
Early this morning, parts of the corpse were found in six markets in the capital.
The murderer's method of disposing of the body was very brazen. The police visited many businesses and passers-by at the place where the body parts were found, but no one noticed when the bag containing the body parts appeared.
As it was winter, the body was stiff and the coroner at Shuntian Prefecture could not even determine the time of death.
We can only judge based on the body spots and rigor mortis that the deceased must have passed away several days ago.
Because it was discovered in a busy city, many people saw it and the impact was extremely serious.
The business in the six markets became as quiet and lifeless as this winter day.
When this matter reached the Sun Mansion and reached the ears of Song Junyan and Tang Quyan, it also reached the palace at the same time.
When the emperor learned that someone dared to be so arrogant and challenge the law in the capital, he almost asked Eunuch Fu to send the news to Song Junyan without thinking.
Let him go find the Lu sisters and bring the murderer who killed and dumped the body to justice as soon as possible.
When Lu Xinran listened to the news brought by Cuizhu, a moment of confusion flashed in his eyes.
The people from Shuntianfu...what do we want them to help us with?
However, surprisingly, the cases that Shuntianfu needed help with were all big cases, and big cases meant a lot of life value was beckoning to her.
Lu Xinran changed into a neat dress and went straight to Lu Xinlan's yard with two maids.
Lu Xinlan had already learned from the visitor what had happened in the downtown area and the urgency of the case.
Seeing Lu Xinran come in and briefly tell her about the situation in the city, the two sisters hurried out and headed straight for Pinglefang where the first body bag was found.
As the year draws to a close, such a heinous case has occurred again. The emperor directly ordered the Dali Temple to assist Shuntian Prefecture in solving the case as soon as possible.
So when the two of them arrived here, Tang Quyan and Song Junyan had already arrived here first.
"I have met Lord Tang and His Highness the Fourth Prince."
The two men got out of the car, saluted, and then quickly talked about the case.
Song Junyan glanced at his men, and Ding San immediately stepped forward and said, "What was found here are the torsos and left arms of the two dead. They were found by a clerk from the cloth shop.
“According to the description of the waiter, he found a burlap bag outside the shop when he was seeing the guests off after entertaining them.
"Because the bag was in the middle of the road, it was a bit of a nuisance, and the carriages had to drive around it, so he thought about whether he should drag the bag to the side.
"When he opened the bag, a bloody hand fell out, and he was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
"The workers in the shop next door heard the noise and ran out, also startled. They didn't dare touch the bag again and quickly sent someone to Shuntianfu to report the case."
The situations in several other towns and cities are similar to this one, except that the order of reporting the cases is different.
This place is closest to the Shuntianfu Yamen, so I was the first one to report the case.
There was a faint trace of blood on the road. Lu Xinlan squatted on the ground and observed carefully for a moment, then locked on a direction and walked forward a few steps while squatting.
Ding San watched her movements and squatted down to look at the ground carefully.
"Miss Lu, the blood here..."
He thought that the bloodstains were probably from the body bag being dropped and the blood seeping through the bag onto the ground.
This is just normal bloodstain, what else can you say?
Lu Xinlan hummed and explained, "From the bloodstains, we can tell that the carriage came from this direction, and the bag fell directly from the bottom of the carriage, not from someone taking it out of the carriage and throwing it on the ground.
"Look here. You can see the direction and height of the splash. If it was carried out by someone, the blood traces would be completely different from here."
Ding San scratched his hair. He wanted to say that in his eyes there was no difference at all.
[How stupid! Just listen to her. My sister is really amazing.]
[With so many people gathered here, we haven't found any clues yet. Our efficiency is really too low. 】
[We already have the direction of the carriage. Next, we will go to other markets and should be able to draw the direction of the carriage carrying the corpse.]
[Which is the first place, which is the last place, which direction the carriage came from, and where it went, these are all clues. ]
Ding San and his companions, who could not hear her thoughts, were still looking at the bloodstains, trying to identify the direction through the traces.
After hearing what was in their minds, Tang Quyan and Song Junyan looked at each other, and the locations of the six markets where the body bag was found appeared in their minds at the same time.
If it was as they guessed, this should be the third market town that the corpse-dumping carriage passed through.
Lu Xinlan heard what was going on, stood up and looked at the two adults seriously, waiting for their judgment.
"Go to Qinghefang."
After leaving someone here to continue testifying, the group went to the first market place that the carriage was expected to pass by, and then the second and third market places...
While Lu Xinlan was observing the bloodstains, Lu Xinran was flipping through the booklet of the guy who reported the case.
It was discovered that none of the people who reported the case lied, and none of them discovered the six body bags at the first time.
Moreover, they found that everyone was busy in front of the body bag, and there were customers in the shop at that time.
This made everyone think that the person who dumped the body was very careful and carefully observed the conditions in the surrounding shops before dumping the body.
He deliberately threw the body bag out when everyone was busy so that no one would notice the carriage.
After reaching the last place, the only clue left in our hands was the direction of the carriage's movement.
Lu Xinran looked ahead at the no longer bustling street market and asked, "Where will we pass if we go forward from here?"
"Go forward and you'll be out of the city after passing Yongningfang."
Song Junyan stood beside her, looking ahead across the street.
"Do you all think that now that he's here, he should just drive out of town?"
"Um?"
Song Junyan turned his head and lowered his eyes slightly, "So..."
"Since that person is so meticulous and his actions are full of provocation, is it possible that he deliberately set up confusion and actually hid the carriage in Yongningfang ahead?"
The unexpected move showed his quick mind, courage and carefulness.
If he were hiding in the crowd at this moment, watching them being fooled around in this case with few clues, he would definitely feel a perverted sense of satisfaction.
"My sister is right. Considering the murderer's behavior logic, hiding the carriage in the city should be consistent with his behavior."
After looking for traces on the ground, Lu Xinlan walked forward and confirmed Lu Xinran's guess.
Song Junyan had always had the illusion that these two sisters were mysterious. Hearing that they all had such a guess, he no longer thought about it and immediately called for help to conduct a thorough investigation in this area.
Especially the guys in the shops along the street must be questioned carefully.
Maybe the clue lies somewhere in between.
