There were not many loopholes that could be found in the house. The head catcher, with a large number of manpower, began to re-examine the streets between the house and the governor's office that the housekeepers often walked.

Since Qinghefang is a well-known commercial district with a dense flow of people on weekdays, they focused their experience more on other roads besides Qinghefang, as well as the surrounding remote trails and clues near abandoned houses.

However, after a whole day of tossing, the two missing persons were not found, but two gangs of kidnapping and trafficking of young children were discovered. It would be necessary to capture them and beat them up, and they might also be expelled from the army. However, one of them claimed to be working for the flag camp.

Yes, they naturally didn’t dare to go to the banner camp to testify, so they simply let it go, but they also sent people to keep an eye on the banner man. They didn’t dare to mess with him, but if this backer was made up

Yes, you dare to do such a sinful thing in their territory, especially if you dare not give them any benefits. They are all familiar with all kinds of weapons, but they are not proficient in any of the torture instruments in the torture room!

A day's work was wasted in this way, and more and more traces of these clues will be lost in the past day. Back to the Yamen, it is said that Zhejiang Governor Xiao Qiyuan was so angry that he slapped the table. There was a message on it, two days.

If you can't find any clues within the time limit, you'll pull them down one by one to hit the mark.

And, today is included!

With the strict order from the top, they had no choice but to cheer up, especially since Qinghefang was still within the jurisdiction of Qiantang County, so they had to mobilize all the underworld figures such as the urban foxes, rats, and even the heroes who had one foot ashore, and use all kinds of resources.

Based on this relationship, a thorough inspection of the entire area was carried out. The intensity seemed to be to determine how late the people along the route slept on the morning of September 18th, whether they had morning erections, what they ate in the morning, and how many grains of rice were in their breakfast.

Check everything out.

For a time, Qiantang County was in a state of chaos in the alleys and alleys of the city. A lot of garbage was found every day and thrown into jail, which could be regarded as cleaning up the local public security situation. Unexpectedly, in the following day,

, they still couldn't find the existence of those two guys, as if they had disappeared out of thin air from the city, which really made them scratch their heads.

On the third day, when they entered the yamen, they usually paid the most attention to Qi-nurturing Kung Fu. The county elder, who was always kind and gentle, gave them a rare scolding. The scolding was unimaginably unpleasant. What followed was a

When he was beaten, someone from the governor's Yamen came to beat him in person, and the beating was so severe that he was crying and howling.

Dragging their aching buttocks, the catchers once again embarked on a journey to track down the murderer. But this time, they received a report just at noon that the two men were in a dry well in Qinghefang.

A rotten stench came out that day.

A group of detectives rushed there and quickly fished out the bodies. Looking at the clothes, they thought they were the housekeeper and the servant. However, an incredible answer was generated in their minds, and as the autopsy progressed, they

, this answer has been further certified.

"This corpse must have been dead for at least two days. In other words, the housekeeper and the servant were not killed on September 18th at all, but died on September 17th!"

Wu Zuo's answer shocked everyone present. It is undeniable that such an answer is really unbelievable, but it is precisely such an answer that all the previous doubts can be explained, just like what is happening in front of you

Like a corpse, it was clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes.

"There is nothing wrong with poisoning the guard dog and stunning those people. The reason why they spend so much time tying them up, blindfolding them, and even feeding them a lot of confusing soup is to make these people sleep for a day.

I couldn’t confirm the date right away…”

In ancient times, the time could be identified using various methods, whether it was using tools, listening to the reports in the market, or observing through experience. But for dates, it was more necessary to use day and night rotation and daily turning of the almanac.

To record it, it is completely impossible to identify the date through countless tools such as mobile phones, watches, clocks, electronic calendars, and even computers, tablets, etc. like later generations.

The murderer tried to make these people sleep for a day. Even if they were awakened, they could not immediately figure out whether they were awakened that day or the next day due to the rotation of day and night. Patients who were injured and comatose,

This kind of problem often occurs. In such a situation, even if you are imprisoned in prison awaiting trial, there is a possibility that you will never realize the difference!

"The key reason why the murderer was unwilling to kill other people like he killed the housekeeper and the servants was that the corpse could not speak, but the murderer could be easily identified through abnormalities such as body spots and degree of decay.

The date and time of death were revealed. The dog was poisoned by arsenic, and its exact time of death is difficult to identify. To be precise, they killed the housekeeper and servant on their way back on September 17th. Before that, more information was given.

The crime against Wang Jiang’s residence has already begun!”

A time difference that deceived both the victim and the investigators at the same time. The murderer spent so much time and effort. All he wanted was not to be discovered at the first time. It was obviously to gain more time to escape.

One day may not be much, but it is enough for them to sail into the sea, get into the deep mountains and old forests around Hangzhou, and hide in the wilderness of mountain villages that are so remote that no one cares about them. The government, as they did a few days ago, is investing their energy in

They were in the city and the places that could be reached in an hour or two, and then slowly expanded, never reaching them. The rest of the time was all earned. The later the government found out, the harder it would be to find them.

traces.

In the lobby of the Qiantang County Government Office, the arrester made a detailed report to the county magistrate. Recalling those details, he suppressed the excitement in his chest and wanted to praise these thugs for holding hands. He was so entangled.

Such a shocking case and such a meticulous train of thought were something he had never experienced before in his career as a government official. In his heart, he could not help but feel a desire to win. But after a few days, as the sea arrest documents continued to be issued, they would probably also be issued.

It is almost impossible to catch him within the scope of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. There is probably only one chance of confrontation in this life.

"Wait a minute, I still don't understand something."

Just as the head catcher had to report his work to him, he also had to report the progress and results of this shocking case to the magistrate of Hangzhou and even the governor of Zhejiang. After thinking for a moment, the magistrate felt more and more terrible as he thought about it. He swallowed and said

The catcher asked in a low voice: "The two crime locations, Wang Jiang's mansion and the dry well, are both in Qinghefang. Qinghefang is a crowded place, and no matter what you do, you will be looked at by many pairs of eyes.

Well, how did they manage to remain unnoticed?"

This is indeed a question, and it is also a crucial one. Fortunately, the head catcher had already thought it through clearly. When asked by the magistrate here, he handed over his hand and replied: "I dare to ask the county magistrate, do you still remember September?"

On the afternoon of the 16th, there began to be rumors in the city that the Eight Banners Army would return to the city on September 17th?"

This matter has been confirmed to be a rumor, and no one will care about it. At most, the merchants will suffer some losses - the foreigners left too quickly, many business deals have not been completed, and the local stores just sold less.

It only takes a few days, and as long as there is still a large customer base of millions of people in Hangzhou, it is not a big deal.

"Remember."

The magistrate nodded, and the arrester said categorically: "On September 17th, early in the morning, the shops in Qinghefang were closed, and the businessmen fled. The street was in chaos at first. When all these people were gone, only
Chapter completed!
