Chapter 298 Murder Cases
Chapter 298 Murder Cases
Zhang Zhiqing's establishment of the Lingnan Jingguo Army has always been done in a very secretive manner. Except for his most trusted confidants, the only people involved in this matter are Han Wenkui and Mu Hongbin.
And these people have long had enmity with the Jiangbei army, so this matter has never been known to the Jiangbei army.
However, what Zhang Zhiqing didn't know was that when he summoned all the bandits to come to Han's farm for a gathering, on the hillside in the distance, two scouts from the Jiangbei Army covered in simple auspicious uniforms made of weeds and twigs were approaching. Lie motionless on the back slope of the hillside.
One of the Jiangbei army scouts held up a telescope and carefully observed every move outside the Han family farm!
"There are a lot of people here!"
"Looking at their outfits, they should be bandits nearby!" The scout holding the binoculars was a captain officer, and next to him was a second lieutenant officer.
The fact that two officers were sent to monitor the Han family farm showed that the Jiangbei army attached great importance to Zhang Zhiqing.
The captain officer continued: "Hey, Zhou Yanchang, Li Baizi, Lang Kun and other big bandit leaders have arrived. Zhang Zhiqing paid a lot of money to call them all here!"
After Chu Liangyi took charge of Dongjiang, he planned to wipe out the bandits in the Dongjiang area and Beishan area, so he asked the reconnaissance battalion to investigate the bandits in various places in advance.
And this captain officer is also one of the main intelligence collectors in the early stage, and he knows the appearance of these big bandit leaders by heart!
On the side, the second lieutenant officer was jotting down information in a small notebook with a pen, and said, "You said that Zhang Zhiqing is so old, why is he still thinking about recruiting troops and buying horses to do things?"
"Be a good governor and receive a salary of thousands of oceans every year, isn't it good?"
The captain sneered and said, "If you don't have a heart, you can swallow an elephant like a snake!"
"We thought it would be great to be the governor, but in Zhang Zhiqing's opinion, the position of the governor is already tired, and you have to find another job to enjoy yourself!"
The second lieutenant laughed and said, "According to what you mean, it's like I often go to Chunxiangyuan to play with Linglong girl. For a month or two, I still find it interesting. After a year of playing, I think it's boring. So I thought about it. I got the top oiran card from Chunxiangyuan!"
The captain curled his lips with a smirk: "Well, you can't say that, but it's reasonable, and it's true!"
"The words are rough and the rationale is not rough!"
While the captain was talking, his eyes never left the Han family farm: "Remember, Liang Dacai from the old man is also here!"
While writing, the second lieutenant said disdainfully: "This Liang Dacai remembers eating but not beating, right? He was beaten up by us just last month, and more than 200 bandits died."
"So you're hooking up with Zhang Zhiqing again, and trying to fight us again, right?"
The captain sneered and said: "It's okay, when the battle starts, let's beat him first, so that this kid is dishonest!"
The two just chatted with each other, and recorded in detail the people who entered and exited the Han family farm. Zhang Zhiqing, who thought he kept it secret, didn't realize that his every move had already been controlled by the Jiangbei army!
In fact, Zhang Zhiqing did a good job of keeping secrets. He has been busy for so long, even his wife and children don't know that he is doing such a big thing.
However, even though Zhang Zhiqing was concealed enough in his work, his plan was still exposed because of a small negligence!
And this small negligence happened on the Lingnan Yasukuni Army seal that Zhang Zhiqing specially asked a craftsman to engrave!
The sealer, the authority too!
Zhang Zhiqing naturally understood this truth, so he searched for a piece of good jade and asked a famous gold and stone craftsman in Lingnan Province to help him carve the seal.
After the big seal was engraved, Zhang Zhiqing did an extremely fucking thing. In order to prevent the gold and stone craftsman from telling about the engraving of the "Lingnan Jingguo Army Seal", he even sent someone to kill the craftsman and put The murder scene was faked to look like a burglary, burglary and murder.
The craftsman's name is Sun Yuting, and he is a well-known gold and stone craftsman in Lingnan Province. Many celebrities in the province like to let him carve seals.
After the murder happened, because of Sun Yuting's special status and his reputation in the upper class of Dongjiang City, the police station quickly sent people over to investigate.
However, the murderer acted very neatly, and no suspicious signs were found at the scene. The police officer who led the team decided that this was a case of burglary, murder, and theft.
As for who the murderer was, Officer Qi, who led the team, was going to find a few gangsters, and was going to ask them if there was any thieves in the urban area who suddenly became rich recently.
However, just as Officer Qi was about to close the team, Wu Qiusheng, who had just been transferred to Dongjiang City as the police chief, walked in.
He just came to Dongjiang City to take office the day before yesterday, but a murder case happened today, and the deceased was a person of low status, which made Wu Qiusheng really unhappy. Isn't this to demolish Lao Tzu!
Can this be tolerated?
No!
Wu Qiusheng was worried that the police officers of the Dongjiang City Police Station were not capable enough, fearing that they would miss some key evidence.
Therefore, he decided to come over and inspect the scene himself. If he could find any clues and catch the murderer, Wu Qiusheng must make him regret coming to this world!
"Hello, Director!"
The police officers at the scene immediately stood at attention and saluted, and said respectfully to Wu Qiusheng.
Wu Qiusheng nodded, and said slowly, "Have you found any clues?"
Officer Qi hurried forward and said with a smile on his face: "Director, brothers have checked all morning and found no suspicious clues."
"The person who committed the crime was very agile and did not leave any evidence behind. We plan to go back and find a few eyeliners of the gangsters to see if we can find any clues from their mouths!"
Wu Qiusheng glanced at him expressionlessly, without saying a word, and then walked around the room, looking around with his eyes. Officer Qi did not dare to speak, and followed Wu Qiusheng cautiously.
At this time, Sun Yuting's body was still in the state before death. He was sitting on a chair, holding a carving knife in his right hand, and threw his upper body on the table, pressing the half-engraved seal in front of him under his chest.
The back of the head was sunken, and the nearby blood had dried up. It looked like Sun Yuting was hit hard from behind with a blunt instrument before he died!
Wu Qiusheng looked around, and then said calmly: "There's no need to look for the gang's eyeliner, the murderer should be an acquaintance of Sun Yuting, at least, someone Sun Yuting doesn't need to guard against!"
Officer Qi next to him was a little surprised and said, "Director, why is that?"
Wu Qiusheng glanced at him speechlessly, then pointed to the wall behind Sun Yuting and said, "Sun Yuting's desk is facing the door, and behind him is the wall."
"And judging from the state of Sun Yuting after his death, he was hammered to death with a blunt object from behind while he was carving a seal."
"Think about it, if an unknown thief broke in, would Sun Yuting not be on guard?"
"Who will continue to work on the work in hand when facing a stranger, let the other person walk behind you without any scruples, and then beat yourself to death!"
"So, the murderer and Sun Yuting must know each other!"
"This is an acquaintance's crime!"
"Ah, this..."
Officer Qi, who led the team, looked surprised. He didn't expect that the new director really had two skills!
At this time, Wu Qiusheng looked at Officer Qi and asked, "Do you understand the situation of Sun Yuting?"
Officer Qi quickly said: "Oh, Sun Yuting's courtyard is in my jurisdiction, and I have had a conversation once or twice occasionally, so I know him a little bit."
Wu Qiusheng nodded: "Does this person have any enemies?"
Officer Qi shook his head: "Don't tell me, Sun Yuting really has no enemies!"
Seeing that Wu Qiusheng was a bit puzzled, he quickly explained: "Sun Yuting is very withdrawn. He deals with these stones and jade objects on weekdays. He doesn't even have many friends, let alone make enemies with others."
"Does he have a family?" Wu Qiusheng asked.
"Yes, his daughter-in-law passed away the year before last, and there are only two sons in the family. The eldest son works in a foreign company in Wuhan, and the youngest son also attends university in Wuhan."
"So, he is the only one in this family, and the meals are usually delivered to him by nearby restaurants!"
"The one who found the body this time was the boy who delivered the food!"
"We have already asked the little guy. This kid is only 12 years old. He has thin arms and legs. He should not be a murderer."
Officer Qi described Sun Yuting's situation one by one, while Wu Qiusheng listened and looked at the messy table in front of him. This table was full of various seal carving tools, stones of different sizes, and used rice paper.
At this time, Wu Qiusheng's eyes fell on a stack of rice paper the size of a palm, he picked it up and flipped through it, and found that the words "XXXX Seal" were all written on them. The handwriting was different, and it seemed that they should be engraved. The man wrote to Sun Yuting the content he wanted to engrave.
Wu Qiusheng handed the stack of rice paper to Police Officer Qi at the side: "According to the writing on it, find out who owns these seals."
"Since Sun Yuting's communication relationship is relatively narrow, I think the murderer may be his customer."
Officer Qi took the rice paper and quickly handed it to the police officer next to him for safekeeping, thinking that the new director is a veteran investigator!
At this time, Wu Qiusheng found several sheets of rice paper scattered under the table, and the rice paper was covered with red seals.
Leaning down, Wu Qiusheng picked up these sheets of rice paper and flipped through them. He found that the red seal on them overlapped with the handwriting on the stack of rice paper just now.
Moreover, these red seals are still incomplete and blurred. It seems that this should be the rice paper that Sun Yuting used to check the imprinting effect of the seal after engraving the seal.
Wu Qiusheng glanced at it briefly, and decided to hand over these rice papers to Officer Qi for safekeeping. However, just as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly frowned, as if he had sensed something!
Without hesitation, Wu Qiusheng immediately focused his gaze on the top piece of rice paper, moved his eyes quickly, and finally landed on a corner of the rice paper:
"Lingnan Yasukuni Army Seal!"
