Chapter 147 Limiting the date for solving the case
In both cases, the deceased were ordinary people, with no prominent life experience, no grudges against others, and could not be more ordinary.
If someone wants to kill a whole house of people in a residential house without alerting the neighbors, they need to be made to die or make no sound in an instant.
However, the results of the autopsy showed that they were injured by blunt knives, and each corpse had more than one wound. It was not a wound caused by a sharp weapon at all.
This means that from the first slash to the time they were killed, there was enough time for them to make a sound.
But it happens that they don't. It doesn't matter if the neighbors live far away. The houses in the village are all close to each other. I'm afraid that I will lose an inch of land to others.
Moreover, the residence was not big, so it was really strange that a massacre occurred just across the wall without a single cry of surprise.
Silly'er said that the other party used a sword, but neither of the deceased in the two families died from sword wounds. It seemed that Silly'er's words were indeed useless.
Unconsciously, he let out a sigh.
Yuan Qingling's hands climbed up to his neck, then moved up to smooth his brow, and asked confusedly: "You sighed? What's wrong?"
Yu Wenhao hugged her quickly and said, "It's okay. I just hope you get better soon."
"Lie!" Yuan Qingling's voice was hoarse, with the sleepiness of someone about to fall asleep. She moved her body and put her feet on his legs, finding a position that was more comfortable and would not press the wound, "You have
The worries are related to the case, right?"
Yu Wenhao reached down and carefully moved her injured leg better, "Why are you so smart? You know everything I'm thinking."
"Yes, you can't hide it from me." Yuan Qingling opened her eyes and looked at him anxiously, "Tell me, maybe I can help you."
Yu Wenhao clicked her lips and said: "There are no clues left in these two cases. I don't know what weapon the murderer used. It seems that he just found a woodcutter and went in to kill people at will."
"Did a madman do it?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"It seems like it was done by a madman, but it couldn't be the case because there are no clues, murder weapons, witnesses...forget it, let alone witnesses, no one even heard the screams. There is no way a madman could have planned it.
So thoughtful.”
Yuan Qingling felt very strange, "Are the houses far apart? If you kill a whole house, it's impossible not to make a sound."
"This is the strange thing. The houses are very close to each other, and the killing time was not short. The victim was so stunned that he didn't make a sound."
"Unless you were knocked unconscious first." Yuan Qing said.
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "No, because in both cases, a baby survived. The baby was awake and had not inhaled any Ecstasy."
"That's strange." Yuan Qingling thought for a while, "Could it be said that the murderer was killed with one knife? But with so many people, even if they were killed with one knife, it is impossible to kill several people in an instant."
"There were many wounds on the body of the deceased. They were not killed in one move." Yu Wenhao didn't want to tell her such cruel things at night, so he reached out and gently touched her eyes, "Okay, don't talk anymore, go to sleep."
"Oh," Yuan Qingling slowly closed her eyes and suddenly asked, "Have you seen the corpse?"
"I haven't seen it, but the coroner and the prosecutor came to the same conclusion."
Yuan Qingling didn't know much about investigating the case, so when he saw that he couldn't help, he stopped asking, lest he lose sleep even more.
The men who went to court were the most heroic.
No matter how warm the bed is and how soft the woman is, she has to get up in the middle of the night to get ready.
Last night, Yu Wenhao ordered people to take his clothes to the room next door. After he got up, he went directly to the next door to change clothes, rinse his mouth and face, etc., so as not to wake up Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling fell into a deep sleep because of the medicine he took, and he didn't know when he got up to go out.
Before Yu Wenhao went out, he told Qiluo who was waiting on him, "Let the kitchen stew the bird's nest first. It is most suitable to eat it when the princess gets up. Remember, the goat milk used to stew the bird's nest must be fresh. The princess doesn't like sweets very much.
So use as little sugar as possible."
Qiluo smiled slightly, "I understand, Your Majesty is so attentive."
How come she didn't know that the prince was so attentive before?
Yu Wenhao's eyebrows were flying, and he was not careful. She seemed to know everything, but in fact she was very careless. If he didn't remember more, she would definitely not realize it.
After almost losing her, Yu Wenhao knew the meaning of cherishing.
Above the imperial court, civil and military officials lined up separately.
Emperor Ming Yuan boarded the dragon chair and sat down slowly. He shouted "long live" three times. He glanced majestically and said, "Everyone, get up. Let's talk about something!"
Chu Shoufu stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, the two recent mass murders in Beijing have caused a lot of discussion among the people. If the murderer is not punished for a day, the people will not feel at ease. For a long time, people will be in panic!"
When the chief minister spoke, a group of people naturally followed him.
Yu Wenhao's heart sank slightly, as expected, he had to talk about this case.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Yu Wenhao, "Is there any progress in the case now?"
If there is a little bit of progress, it can be perfunctory, but unfortunately, there is no progress at all, so Yu Wenhao can only shake his head and say: "Back to the emperor, there has been no progress in the case so far, there are no murder weapons, witnesses, and clues.
"
Emperor Ming Yuan had the word "displeased" written in capital letters on his face.
Why is this silly son so honest?
Chu Shoufu said: "Your Majesty has just taken over the Jingzhao Mansion, and I am afraid he is not familiar with handling cases yet. Why not transfer the case directly to the Ministry of Punishment? This will also allow the Ministry of Punishment to solve the case as soon as possible and calm the people's fear."
Once the case was transferred to the Criminal Department, Yu Wenhao was slapped in the face and said that he was incompetent and useless.
Moreover, you even slapped Emperor Ming Yuan in the face. This is the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin you appointed.
Emperor Ming Yuan became even more unhappy, but he was always polite to his chief assistant and said: "Don't worry, since the King of Chu is not familiar with it, give him time to get familiar with it, and this case is just for him to prove his ability.
"
He looked at Yu Wenhao and said, "Both the Chief Assistant and I have high hopes for you. You can't let the Chief Assistant down."
Yu Wenhao said: "I will try my best to solve the case."
"As soon as possible!" Chu Shoufu turned around and looked at Yu Wenhao, "Your Majesty, the impact of this case is too great. If the murderer is not caught as soon as possible, I am afraid that the murderer will attack again and hurt innocent people again. Your Majesty, how many days do you think the case can be solved?
"
How many days? Yu Wenhao sneered in his heart. How many months may not be enough.
"Three days?" Chu Shoufu asked again.
King Ji came out and said: "Father, Mr. Chu, this case is too complicated. I'm afraid I won't be able to investigate it clearly in three to five days. Why not give my fifth brother ten days?"
The Minister of Punishment said: "If it is delayed for another ten days, I am afraid that the murderer will come out again. Your Majesty, I suggest that seven days is suitable. If Jingzhao Mansion needs it, the Punishment Department can provide help at any time."
Yu Wenhao listened to them singing and harmonizing, thinking secretly in his heart.
Now I have no clue, not to mention ten days, even ten more days will be the same.
However, when it came to this, he had to make a commitment.
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, let's do it for seven days!"
Emperor Ming Yuan nodded and said, "Well, you must solve this case within seven days."
Emperor Ming Yuan did not say whether he would lose his official position if he could not solve the case. However, it goes without saying that if the King of Chu could not solve the case, he would lose the hearts of both the court and the people.
