Chapter 80: The cry is the catalyst for the murderer to kill
'Do you want to die? I have plenty of ways to kill you!'
'Do you want to die? I have plenty of ways to kill you!'
'Do you want to die? I have plenty of ways to kill you!'
Wang Daozhi had already remembered what he had said in the inn last night, but how could it be transmitted through the thing in her hand? He shouted in fear: "Monster! It's a monster! Sir, this thing is a monster!"
Jiusu raised his voice: "It's a divine object, it's obviously a divine object!"
However, curiosity about new things has overwhelmed Wang Daozhi's slander.
Yang Xu asked, "Miss Jiu, what is this? How can it be the voice of Lord Wang?"
"This is called the Divine Sound Pen, a gift from God. If anyone wants to harm me, I will record his words. If Lord Yang doesn't believe it, you can try it." Jiusu pressed the switch.
bite!
Yang Xu was stunned for a few seconds and asked, "How do I try this?"
Afterwards, Jiusu played the recorded words twice, "How do I try this?" "How do I try this?"
"That's how it's used, sir."
"I see." Yang Xu suddenly understood. He suppressed his curiosity and looked at Wang Daozhi again. His face immediately darkened. "Wang Daozhi, you actually dared to kill someone? Why didn't I burn you to death yesterday?"
Wang Daozhi kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Sir, I am wronged. This woman did it on purpose..."
Yang Xu stood up, looked down at him, and glanced at him.
"If you don't want to tell the truth, I have plenty of ways to make you speak."
Seeing that Wang Daozhi was still stubborn, he didn't give him any more chances. With a wave of his hand, the people around him dragged him away. Screams were heard outside. Yang Xu glanced at the people present one by one, and a smile appeared on his face: "My Lords, you don't think I'm too cruel, do you?"
Everyone understood that this was a warning to others.
The prefect's forehead was covered in sweat. He forced a smile and flattered, "Your Excellency is mighty and stern, how can you be cruel? This is all Wang Daozhi's own fault!"
Just a cup of tea.
Wang Daozhi was dragged up with wounds all over his body.
The attendant said, "Sir, he has confessed. It was indeed he who hired the killer to commit the murder."
Wang Daozhi was beaten black and blue. He lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He cried and begged for mercy, "Sir, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Yang Xu said lightly.
"Drag him away, strip him of his official title, and confiscate his property!"
Wang Daozhi's eyes revealed hatred. He had never expected such a result. He struggled to get up, but saw the prefect standing in front of him, "Sir..."
"Wang Daozhi, don't do anything wrong again in the future." The prefect patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Outside the door, Jia Chun finally watched the show. No wonder his wife didn't want him to be an official many years ago. Being an official was not good at all, and he would get beaten. He saw Jiang Jing waving at him, and he dodged Wang Daozhi sideways.
Oh my, that’s so miserable.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"I greet you, sir. Someone wanted to kill me last night, but luckily they saved me."
Yang Xu's eyes fell on his bandaged head and he asked anxiously, "Did you see who wanted to harm you? Or, do you recognize the murderer?"
Jia Chun had already recalled this, and he shook his head in embarrassment.
"The killer knocked me unconscious from behind, but the force was so painful that the doctor said if he had hit me harder, I would have died."
"Jiang Jing, Jiusu, did you two see it?" Yang Xu looked at them and asked.
The two shook their heads.
Jiang Jing added: "But he is short, shorter than the prefect."
The prefect: “?”
"Could it be a woman?" Yang Xu was confused. As a detective, he was at a loss as to how to deal with this case. The suspects all had alibis, and since Jia Chun was injured, it was certain that the murderer was not afraid at all.
In other words, he couldn't find any trace of the murderer.
This feeling of failure made him feel very uncomfortable.
Jiusu agrees with this view.
"Almost all the victims were men, and their common characteristics were being philandering and scumbags. The murderer was most likely a woman who had been hurt by love.
At first, she killed the man who hurt her and got pleasure from it, so she set her sights on the man she hated, and started the second, the third..."
The prefect disagreed. He asked, "Miss Jiu's idea is good, but how can a woman kill a different man every time and never be exposed? What's more, the last man who died was very good to his wife and children. He was not a philandering man."
Jiusu gave an example: "Mr. Jia was not a scumbag, he just drank and came home late, but the murderer might have thought that he neglected his family and was spending his time drinking and partying outside."
"What about the last man who died?" The prefect sneered, "From what we know, he was a truly wonderful man."
Jiusu asked back: "Before the murderer kills someone, will he investigate whether he is a good man?"
The answer is definitely no.
This question helped everyone escape from the vicious circle they were in that night. Why did they have to worry about whether the person they killed was a good man or a bad man? As long as the murderer was sure of it, he would kill him. The murderer was already skilled in killing, and if he was not caught quickly, he would probably kill indiscriminately.
After a long while, Yang Xu asked, "Miss Jiu, do you have any good ideas?"
"In fact, besides the murderer's rage, there is another thing that is the catalyst for the murder." Jiusu slowly uttered two words, "the sound."
Jiang Jing looked at the shining person, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
She was different from other women. She was like a soaring eagle, beautiful, generous, and strong. He liked to see her radiant. "A Su, you mean that everyone wants the scumbag to die, and the murderer thinks of himself as a hero."
Jiusu nodded, and the things before him seemed to become clearer and clearer.
"Yes! That's why she's killing more and more people!"
Yang Xu's chest heaved. He shook his head and sighed, "So that's how it is. I've never thought of this before. How ashamed! Since the louder the outcry, the happier the murderer is, shouldn't we use our own tactics to lure the snake out of its hole?"
As expected of a detective, he immediately came up with a solution.
Jiusu thought to himself.
The county magistrate whispered, "I wonder, sir, what is the solution?"
It would be great if there was a solution. So many people have died in Yinyang County. The truth should be found out as soon as possible so that everyone can rest assured. If a few more people die, not only will my official hat be in danger, I won’t be able to atone for my crime even if I lose my life.
Yang Xu hasn't figured it out yet.
He asked politely, "I wonder if Miss Jiu has any ideas?"
"I do have a plan, but it's very risky." Jiusu took a sip of tea and looked at the information of all the deceased. "If a man who is unforgivable and has hurt the feelings of many women appears, and the people hate him to the core and want him dead, will the murderer appear?"
Jiang Jing poured her tea, thought for a moment and nodded.
"Perhaps, the murderer will consider himself a hero, and killing the man is like enforcing justice."
"Great idea! I'll take on the man who committed the heinous crime of hurting our feelings!" Yang Xu slammed the table, ready to make the final decision, but was met with strong opposition from other officials. "What's wrong with that? Only by getting involved can we catch the murderer."
