Chapter 85 The Case

Why did the murder case occur? Bao Qing is quite depressed. If he goes out now, he will disrupt his original plan. If he doesn't go out, it seems that it will not be good. The key is that this is the arrangement of these two women, which is really troublesome.

In the end, Bao Qing had no choice but to let Zhan Zhao take the two of them to the camp. When Zhuang Lei saw him, he invited Bao Qing to live in the yamen, but Bao Qing did not agree.

"What kind of murder case?" Bao Qing asked while following Zhuang Lei.

"Three people died in a private house!" Zhuang Lei said.

"Is the crime scene protected? Are you not a prosecutor of the Bazhou Government Office? You have to let him go?" Bao Qing was a little unhappy. The murder case of this person should be handled by the local government office. Why did you have to let yourself, the imperial envoy, handle it? Could it be that he is full and has nothing to do?

"Mr. Bao, the promoter of Bazhou has not yet taken office. The former promoter was killed when the Liao people knocked on the edge." Zhuang Lei replied.

"Master Zhuang, do you think if the Liao people attack now, will you run away or hold on?" Bao Qing asked.

"This depends on the situation, the general manager has the final say."

Bao Qing brought Jin Wandao to the crime scene, but found that Hong Ba was still present.

"I said Zhuang Zhizhou, this is a big deal, I have to alarm the imperial envoy. If it were the Liao people, I would not know how many people would die." Hong Ba saw Zhuang Lei and Bao Qing coming, glanced at him and said.

"Deputy General Manager Hong manages this military affairs in an orderly manner. I, a state official in charge of government affairs, cannot hold back. Now, the government office lacks a promotion officer, and I immediately think of Lord Bao." Zhuang Lei said.

"Mr. Zhuang, what you said is wrong. Are you feeling like our imperial envoy, Lord Bao, is it idle? Go to your government office to be a promoter?"

"Okay, since you're here, let's see! Who are the dead?" Bao Qing felt impatient.

"The deceased are all brothers, and they came to Bazhou to do some business together last year."

Bao Qing checked the three corpses one by one, all of which were cut by the knife behind their backs, and they should have been suddenly cut from behind. Bao Qing looked at the knife marks. The knife marks of the three corpses were different, and they should have been caused by different knives. Bao Qing gently fiddled with his hand and found that the cut flesh was rolled up, which should be because the knife was not sharp enough. At the same time, the depth of the scar was quite deep, and the murderer had a great force.

After seeing the corpse, Bao Qing paused and asked, "Did these three corpses be found together?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang next door discovered it."

"So it seems that there was more than one murderer at that time, and the three dead were different in the marks and the depths were different. It should not be done by the same person. Moreover, the wounds of the deceased were all rolled up. The knife held should be a blunt knife, not very sharp, and the edge of the knife was rolled up. Such a knife should be a weapon that killed countless people. I think a person in the world would generally not use such a knife." After Bao Qing finished speaking, he looked at Jin Wandao.

Jin Wandao understood and said, "People in the martial arts world should like to use sharp knives, and the martial arts world people attach great importance to their weapons. Therefore, they generally do not use such clumsy weapons. Moreover, when the martial arts world people commit crimes, the part they like to attack should be the throat."

"From the traces on the scene, these three deceased had not had a fierce fight before their death. They were obviously attacked from behind and died. As a person in the martial arts world, if they were not discovered and wanted to kill a person's life with one knife, the best assassination method is to kill the throat with one knife." Bao Qing said.

"What do you mean by a murder? Is this murder done by an ordinary person? Ordinary murder?" Zhuang Lei obviously disbelief.

"I think so, maybe for their brother's money!" Hong Ba said, "Since that's the case, let's go back and leave it here for the yamen runners to deal with it."

Bao Qing shook his head and said, "Murder, there must be a motive for murder. Killing is nothing more than money for sex or for revenge. For money, there were no traces of flipping found at the scene, which means that the murderer left directly after killing the person. So it is impossible for money."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. This principle is very simple and everyone knows it.

"For **, obviously not! Revenge? Do you think it looks like it? Once the hatred is about to kill someone, do you see if you will cut it?" Bao Qing asked.

"If there is a grudge, I wish I could cut a few more!" Jin Wandao said.

"This, then why is this murder?" Zhuang Lei was a little surprised.

Bao Qing said two words: "Maybe it's a mission!"

"It is also possible to buy a murderer!" Hong Ba said.

"Buy a murderer? If you are an employer, will you hire such a killer? Such inferior weapons and such as assassination method? Generally speaking, the killers are mostly people in the world." Bao Qing said.

"What Lord Bao means is a mission? What mission?" Zhuang Lei asked.

Bao Qing thought for a while and asked: "Weapons are generally owned by three types of people! One is the jianghu people, who brings weapons to defend themselves. The second is the yamen runners and guards. The third is the soldiers. Judging from the knife marks just now, the weapons must be powerful in chopping and slapping, and because they are used too much, the weapons have rolling mouths and are not very sharp. Let's see, which type of people meet this requirement?"

"Soldier?" Everyone was shocked and replied.

"Yes, it's soldiers, and veterans who kill a lot. Only in this way can they cut out such force and kill people with one knife, without the need to cut off the second knife. Only veterans who often go to the battlefield will use weapons to roll up, and the sword edges of soldiers' weapons cannot be too sharp, otherwise it will be easily damaged in actual combat. I wonder if my analysis is my opinion, Deputy General Manager Hong agrees?" Bao Qing looked at Hong Ba.

Hong Ba was quite uncomfortable and quickly replied: "It's true, but sir, don't get me wrong. The troops I brought were not on the city defense in the camp, so it's impossible to leave without leaving. Moreover, the Liao people are attacking in at any time now, so how can they have the time to do this?"

Bao Qing suddenly thought that the soldier killed these three brothers by surprise, but I was afraid it was really a mission. Then what to do?

"Who discovered the scene of the murder first?" Bao Qing asked

"Old Man Zhang next door, by the way, people are here too. Old Man Zhang quickly went to meet the imperial envoy Bao," said Zhuang Lei.

Bao Qing had noticed the old man Zhuang Lei mentioned. He was a simple-dressed old man, standing alone by the yamen runners, a little conspicuous. The old man Zhang walked over and seemed a little restrained. When he saw Bao Qing, he thought about kneeling down.

"Come on, old man, tell me when did you discover the murder scene?" Bao Qing asked.

"Sir, the old man heard something happening in the room last night. Later, the old man couldn't sleep, so he got up quietly to take a look. Taking advantage of the moonlight, I happened to see three or four strong men and walked out of the room." The old man said, his legs trembling slightly.

"What are you afraid of? The imperial envoy will not eat you, look at it scaring you." Zhuang Lei said.

"It's okay! Okay, let me go back and think about this case before talking about it!" Bao Qing said.

"Ah? Sir, are you leaving now?" Zhuang Lei didn't expect Bao Qing to ask this question, and it was over. He wondered in his heart. It seemed that he knew Bao Qing very well, and he should ask the whole thing, and he had to take some people back for the trial. Why didn't hesitate to ask and rush back?

"Why don't you leave? I'm not a god. Go back and have some wine, maybe you can solve the case!" Bao Qing was unhappy.

Zhuang Lei hurriedly said, "Sir, I don't mean that. If you want to drink, there are so many things in the government office! Why don't you hold a banquet for the government office at noon?"

"You are boring! I'll go back to the camp, and Xiaoyu is waiting for me! Manager Hong, let's go!" Bao Qing said.

Seeing this, Hong Ba hurriedly smiled and said, "Haha, that Xiaoyu has taken the lead for the lord! I have never seen Xiaoyu's true face for so many days. Lord Bao is really amazing, and I admire him!"

...

"Jin Wandao, this Zhuang Lei tried every means to let me come out to solve the case, afraid that the purpose would be more than that. You can take some good hands and stare at him." Bao Qing ordered.

"Sir, I suspect that he is related to the Plum Blossom Gang?" Jin Wandao was responsible for protecting Bao Qing's safety, and the one he was most worried about was the Plum Blossom Gang.

"No, I want to see who was instructed by Zhuang Lei? If I expected it, Zhuang Lei should be the old fox Lu Yijian. So, you'd better find someone to squat me at the intersection of the road. Zhuang Lei should contact the capital soon. This old guy, Lu Yijian, probably the idea of ​​letting us be cannon fodder this time was made by him. Otherwise, the official would not think of it." Bao Qing cursed.

"Oh, where is Hongba?"

"Hong Ba doesn't care about him for the time being. After all, he is the deputy general manager and he still has to rely on him to resist the Liao people, so it is not easy to monitor. Now whoever we jumps out first, we will stare at whom."

"Okay, sir, you talk about this case!"

"Why do you have any ideas about this case?"

"There is an idea. Although the army here guards the frontier, they are mostly outlaws and are bloodthirsty. They can kill people for no reason, and there is no good thing!" Jin Wandao said of the army and gritted his teeth.

"Are they suppressed your Bagua Hall?"

Jin Wandao nodded slightly, revealing pain, and said, "I hate these border troops. Sometimes they are more poisonous than the Liao people!"

Bao Qing patted Jin Wandao's shoulder and said, "Actually, these soldiers are obedient. To them, killing people means obeying orders. If the officer leads the troops, that's great! If the officer is a bastard, the soldiers under his command will definitely be a bastard."

When Jin Wandao heard this, he suddenly knelt down. Bao Qing was shocked to see this, and quickly pulled him up and said, "What are you doing? There are still your subordinates behind him!"

Jin Wandao was about to speak with sobs, but Bao Qing shook his hand.

"I know your Jin Wandao's idea! You want me to check it out for you. What happened to Bagua Hall when you were surrounded and suppressed! You have been following me without any complaints, and will never give up on life and death. I will give you an explanation for this matter. In fact, you don't have to ask me for it, because I am not a person with a stern heart. I am not like Bao Hong. He knows some inside information but refuses to tell it out." Bao Qing was angry when he thought of Bao Hong. His daughter has become his own woman, and he is still keeping some secrets for Lu Yijian.

"Magistrate Bao may have difficulties. His life has always been in pain! I don't blame him!" said Jin Wandao.
