Chapter 73: Gouging out the heart and capturing the soul, Longyuan County Magistrate
The village was ruined, and pieces of meat were everywhere.
The already rancid and smelly space became even more filthy and bloody after these stumps and severed limbs were completely spread out.
Tie Tang stepped forward and checked for a while, but didn't see any difference.
"How do you know they have no intention?"
Wang An was happy and explained to him with a smile.
"This is what I do, can I not know? In the past, they were piled together, but now they are separated, and it is easy to distinguish them.
The human heart——has four orifices!
Once it is cut open, it is easy to see the difference from other flesh and blood.
Just like the head of the Head of the Six Yangs!
And some people with extraordinary talents may even have one or two extra orifices. Once the heart of such a person appears, you can tell the difference.
If it were the legendary Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures...
As soon as it appears in this world, the heaven and earth will manifest visions, and people will know about them for tens or even hundreds of miles around.
In addition.
The appearance of the essence and blood in each person's heart is actually very different from his own blood."
Tie Tang nodded and guessed: "In other words, the murderer dug out their hearts before killing them?"
"Indeed."
Tie Tang held his chin with his right hand: "Killing so many people and gouging out their hearts and livers obviously has some purpose. What kind of vicious person can he be?"
At this time, Jing Xuan walked over, followed by two black figures.
"These people died miserably. Not only were their bodies broken into pieces like this, but their souls should have been taken away by the real murderer and used for other purposes.
See if you have some skills, let's see if you can find the murderer."
After saying that, he walked towards the gate of Yizhuang with a jumping black shadow.
"Little Master Jingxuan, are you leaving now?"
The figure ahead froze.
Then he moved on.
"I'm not allowed to sleep here. If you don't leave, I'll make you mad. Next time we meet, if you add those three words, I'll give you some clues."
Tie Tang laughed and didn't take it seriously.
After Jing Xuan left, Tie Tang dropped his smile and looked at Wang Andao.
"Old Wang, is it possible to identify the deceased now?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem, at least these thirty-seven can do it."
"What do you need?"
"Just bring the file of the suspected deceased.
At that time, I will compare the blood, tattoos, scars, birthmarks, etc. of the deceased one by one based on the above records, and it will not be difficult to find out the identities of these people.
But these people are left...there is nothing we can do."
Wang Andao looked at the two corners on the left and right of Yizhuang. There were piles of minced meat there, which even the corpse exterminator couldn't restore.
"You can do whatever you can, but if it doesn't work, just bury these people together and build a cemetery. During the Qing Dynasty and the Double Ninth Festival, there will be a place to worship."
"Cemetery?" Wang Andao was a little surprised.
"This statement is a bit new, but you must have more ideas."
Tie Tang waved his hand: "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll go to the county office to have a look and have someone send you the file."
"Be careful, the Longyuan Supervisory Authority has taken over this case.
Logically speaking, this matter should be handled by them. If the chief county police officer hadn't forcibly intervened, you wouldn't have been able to take advantage of it."
"He checks theirs and I check mine. There is no conflict and no hindrance."
——
Tie Tang left Yizhuang and came to Longyuan County Yamen.
Before I walked in, I saw a bunch of people outside the county government gate from a distance.
Wearing linen and wearing filial piety, they were old and young, and their cries were loud. They were all old people, women and children.
"Please, sir, make the decision for us!"
"My Qilin'er was only twenty years old, why did he die like this? Woohoo~"
"Sir, let me meet my husband-in-law."
"Sir, my husband worked as a policeman in the county government for many years. Now he died inexplicably. Why don't you let me see his body?"
.........
Longyuan Zhangzhixian stood in front of the door, wearing official robes and a black face. Facing this group of old, weak, women and children, he couldn't drive them away with force.
"I have said many times that the case is under investigation. Don't panic. Just go home and wait."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he saw a figure and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Tie Capt., where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Tie Tang strode forward, looked at the Longyuan magistrate, and pointed at the people outside.
"They are..."
Zhang Zhixian shook his head: "Hey, I don't know who leaked the news, which caused a storm in the city. Everyone knows that I, Long Yuan, have committed a major case.
Dozens of people died in a row, including the chief arrester, which made people panic.
These are the families of the deceased. They want to know who the murderer is, and they also want to meet their families.
But among the mountains of scraps, how can you tell who is who?"
Tie Tang turned around, faced the many women and children kneeling in front of him, and shouted loudly.
"I, Tie Tang, am the chief arrest officer responsible for this murder case. I can understand your feelings.
But kneeling here will not help in solving the case. On the contrary, it will embolden the murderer's arrogance and hinder our investigation of the case.
Who is the murderer specifically... I have already grasped some clues, and I believe the truth will be revealed soon.
As for your request to see the deceased...it's not impossible.
First, line up in order and enter the county government office to register your name and leave a confession.
The Japanese officials will make arrangements one by one tomorrow!"
The people kneeling outside the gate of the county government looked at each other one after another after hearing the words. For a moment, they didn’t know whether to believe Tie Tang’s words.
Zhang Zhixian listened in a daze and wanted to interrupt Tie Tang several times.
After he finished speaking, he finally couldn't help but ask: "It's so rotten...how can I show it to them?
And, do you really have any clues? Who could be the murderer?"
Tie Tang did not answer, but asked: "To solve this case, we need your full help. I wonder what step you can take?"
Zhang Zhixian rolled his eyes and replied meaningfully: "What step should I take?"
"My actions in the county government... should not be interfered with by others, including your Excellency and the county magistrate."
"It should be so."
"I may have to take action personally to help me suppress the murderer."
"No problem!"
"The Control Yuan has already intervened in this case. If I have a conflict with them... I hope you will not back down."
"This..."
"You step back now, Tie may go to prison to visit you tomorrow."
"Okay, as long as it doesn't go too far, I will take action."
Seizing Longyuan County Magistrate is something Tie Tang has already decided on.
If not.
He is the chief arrester from out of town. Even if he has an inspection order in hand, he cannot call the shots.
If the people under my command do not work hard, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to solve the case.
In addition, there are many powerful people in the local area and there are many secret places of witchcraft and magic. Without the support of one of his parents and officials, Tie Tang would be unable to move forward.
At this time, among the crowd below, someone seemed to have heard of Tie Tang's name, and it was gradually spread among the people.
In addition, Tie Tang promised that he could see the deceased tomorrow.
This also gives a group of old, young, women and children hope. Waiting for just one more day is not unacceptable.
Everyone got up one after another and asked some slightly younger women to go to the county government office to register and wait for the identification of the body tomorrow.
When Zhang Zhixian saw Tie Tang's few words, he resolved the predicament at hand and was more certain of his ability.
"His grandma, who is this blind beast who dares to commit such a murder in my own land and obstruct my Qingyun Avenue? This is a capital crime."
Zhang Zhixian looked fiercely and followed Tie Tang into the county government office.
Tie Tang came to the second hall and saw Long Yuan County Magistrate. He was handling other cases. When he saw Tie Tang, he was just a little stunned and then buried his head in the case.
"Iron Catcher, this is Gu Huajin, Gu Xiancheng." Zhang Zhixian followed behind and introduced him.
Tie Tang walked to Tang Huaqing's desk and flipped through some files to see if there were any clues.
"Master Gu is very diligent. I wonder where he was when the crime occurred?"
"Crunch!"
He just asked casually, but heard the sound of the brush breaking.
There was a slight sound, but it could not be hidden from the two people present.
Zhang Zhixian and Tie Tang both turned around and looked at Longyuan County Cheng who was immersed in writing.
