There was no big data surveillance, no modern criminal investigation methods, in an environment like this in ancient times.
For ordinary crimes, the Baojia system and consecutive punishments can be used to achieve the effect of reporting each other and solving the case.
But I want to solve a serial murder case committed by a monster.
Then this is really clueless.
"If ordinary monsters are causing trouble in the countryside, most of them can be seen in their true form, so it is easy for us to find them."
Chief Zhao was sitting in the government office in Hanzhong, with the case files spread out in front of him, and sighed and said:
"This is the only monster I've seen in my life that is so cautious and has killed many people without being seen by anyone."
Yishan Jin did not answer, but was thinking over and over again.
According to modern criminal investigation, most murder cases have a motive.
Perverts who kill people randomly for no reason are in the minority after all.
Although there are supernatural powers in this world, monsters and people are mostly just like the other.
Even the wolf demon from before did not kill anyone even when he was extremely angry.
Moreover, the nine dead men all have something in common. They were notoriously lustful. They died at night, were drained of their yang energy, were tortured before death, and their bodies were left in Hanzhong City. The monsters committed their crimes quietly, leaving no trace behind.
trace.
Obviously, this was a premeditated crime.
Throwing corpses into the city was even a show-off.
This file contains detailed records of the deceased's whereabouts in the months before his death.
It is certainly unrealistic to be specific about what stores I went to every day, but which village, which county I went to, and when I entered Hanzhong City are all recorded.
These days, when you go out, you have to report to the security chief, and when you enter the city, you need to have a written ultimatum.
In ancient times, there were still many methods to curb crime.
Those who regard the ancients as fools are probably fools themselves.
After looking at the whereabouts of the deceased in detail, Yi Shanjin discovered a characteristic.
It's not without reason that they are lustful.
Because they are all frequent visitors to brothels and brothels in Hanzhong.
Their faces were so familiar that even when the official mentioned them, the madam could recall them.
But the clues about brothels and brothels have already been investigated by the officials.
From employees, to cooperative suppliers, and customers.
Those who can be interrogated have been interrogated several times, and there is nothing wrong with them.
In other words, as long as the interrogating official does not deliberately cover up, this clue will basically be broken.
"Fellow Taoist? Fellow Taoist!"
Yi Shanjin was suddenly awakened by the shouting. In front of him, Chief Zhao was looking at him with some worry.
"Sorry, I was just reasoning and was a little lost."
Yishan said apologetically, he quickly closed the files of the case in front of him, then stood up and said:
"Master Zhao, where is the City God? I think we can invite the City God to ask. Manpower is limited after all. Since the monster dared to throw his corpse into the city, the City God will definitely notice it."
Master Zhao's eyes were stunned.
Could it be that this fellow Taoist in front of me would still control the gods and send generals?!
You must know that although this City God is the god of the underworld, it is not something that ordinary mortals can just see and see.
If you are not a great scholar, you will not be able to invite him easily.
However, Yi Daoyou is Bai Zirou's disciple and the master of Yin Fei Sword.
Although he is only in the Qi training realm, his cultivation is advanced and he must have been practicing for a long time.
It is impossible not to know how difficult it is to restrain the gods and dispatch generals.
But according to the Taoist friend's expression as usual, he does not regard it as a difficult matter to restrain the gods and send the generals.
Master Zhao was quite shocked inside.
Fellow Taoist, this is so terrifying!
Master Zhao did not dare to delay, he cupped his hands and said:
"The City God is not far away. Fellow Taoist, please come with me."
The two of them walked all the way to the City God. It was broad daylight, and some people were burning incense and praying for blessings in the City God.
There is a painted statue in the temple.
The statue is dressed in fancy clothes and has a big black beard.
There are two other statues beside it, which are the right-hand men of the City God, the God of Day Tours and the God of Night Tours.
Of course, among the city gods at this time, these three are just statues.
Arriving in front of the City God's Temple, Yi Shanjin was waiting for Director Zhao to call the City God out to inquire.
When he saw Master Zhao, he cupped his hands solemnly and said:
"Please follow my Taoist friends and ask the city god to ask questions based on the ability of the gods to send generals."
Yishan was stunned for a moment.
What the hell? You don’t know how?
Neither can I!
He was just about to say it when he heard the voice of a child chanting Feijian, saying in his mind:
[What’s so difficult about sending generals to the gods? Lord of Yin Fei Sword, you can’t say you’re incompetent! You have the collected works of great Confucian scholars and I’m backing you up. Just walk up to the statue and call out to the city god.]
Yin Fei Sword still looks the same as before.
However, Yi Shanjin didn't say anything. According to what Yin Feijian said, he walked to the statue of the City God, raised his hands and shouted:
"Please also ask the City God to come out and see you."
Although there were not many people around, they all heard Yishan Jin's shouting.
Chief Zhao also looked at Yishan in confusion.
Isn't it enough to just shout once to send the general?
Yi Shanjin kept holding his hands, looking a little embarrassed.
After waiting for about ten seconds, I didn't see any movement in front of me.
On the contrary, the people looked at him with strange expressions.
Just when Yishan was about to turn around and leave.
But I heard someone speaking from behind:
"The Taoist Priest is carrying a fairy sword that is quite divine. I wonder what kind of fairy sword it is?"
Looking for the voice, Yishan turned around and saw a middle-aged man in official robes speaking to him with his hands raised.
But no one else seemed to hear him, let alone see him.
Even Master Zhao looked back strangely just because he had turned around.
I am the only one who can see this city god?
Yi Shanjin was about to ask, but he heard the City God say again:
"There are many people here with mixed opinions. I would like to ask the Taoist priest to come out with me to talk."
After finishing speaking, the City God minded his own business and walked towards the outside of the temple.
Yi Shanjin followed and walked over.
There was a tea shop outside the temple. The City God was sitting on a chair in the shop, and Yishan Jin also sat down beside him.
Master Zhao had a confused expression on his face, but he followed and walked out.
Yishan couldn't help but asked Master Zhao:
"You can't see it?"
Chief Zhao shook his head, opened his mouth again, blushed, and said:
"I'm the Chief Registrar of Anping County in Hanzhong Prefecture, Zhao Guangrong. If the City God is here, please show me your majesty."
After he finished speaking, Cheng Huang, who was already sitting on the tea shop, looked at Yishan with a questioning look on his face.
Yishan Jin said with a smile:
"You came with me, thank you City God."
The City God nodded and raised his hand to Master Zhao.
Only then did Master Zhao's eyes light up, and he raised his hands to where the City God was sitting.
The eyes looking towards the end of Yishan are even more eager.
Just like Yan Po looking at Song Jiang - there is no other purpose!
Yishan ignored Master Zhao's eyes and sat down as well.
Then he said to the City God:
"I'm down at the end of the mountain. The fairy sword I'm carrying is the Yinfei Sword. I'm going to disturb you a lot, so please don't be surprised by the city god."
The City God touched his beard and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter. To be able to carry such a fairy sword, I think the Taoist Master must have a good teacher. Why did the Taoist Master call me out?"
It turns out that this is the reason.
In this world, even the God of the Underworld speaks based on relationships.
Yishan stopped thinking about it and asked:
"I am calling the City God this time because I want to inquire about several monster murder cases in Hanzhong City in recent months."
The City God frowned slightly:
"Monsters kill people? In our Hanzhong Mansion, no monsters have ever come close, not to mention months or years, right?"
Yishan was stunned for a moment, no monsters had come?
