Chapter 60: Search and Find
Soon Zheng Yuan called an old man who kept accounts. The account book in his hand and saw Zheng Yuan and said, "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Zheng Ji, the two heads have found the murderer who killed Xiu'er. They are the Miao man who stayed in the hotel a month ago. What do you think of this person?"
"Yes! Of course I have an impression of such a special person! He has many taboos and special requirements, and I have a deep impression of him."
Guan Wei looked at the old man and said, "I ask you, when did he stay in Zhengfu Inn, how long did he stay here, and when did he leave?"
"I have detailed records here. Please wait a moment and I will check it." Zheng Ji opened the account book and slowly checked it, and soon found the news about the Miao people.
"Teacher, master, the registered name of this Miao people is Gao Feng. He moved in on the 24th of last month and left on the 27th. The lady was not killed when he left. I think it shouldn't be him?"
Zheng Yuan and Tian Qing stared at Guan Wei. The Miao man left 6 days before Zheng Xiu was killed. He really didn't have time to commit the crime. Could it be that this time I was in vain?
Both sighed and were a little disappointed.
Guan Wei did not give up. He then asked: "Zheng Ji, what did he say when he left? Or where should he not go next?"
"No, this man left with just two pieces of silk cloth." Zheng Ji thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Silk cloth? Did he bring it from the south? Did this guy resell cloth?"
"No, this is the silk cloth from the city. After this person comes, he rarely brings it in the store. He doesn't know what to do when he is out every day, and he will come back when it gets dark. When he comes back, he will bring some silk cloth with him, and he doesn't know what to do."
Guan Wei frowned and turned around and asked Zheng Yuan, "Old Zheng, ask provocatively, have a stranger come to his home before Miss Zheng was killed?"
"Stranger?" Zheng Yuan frowned, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "I have never been to any stranger. In fact, Xiu'er usually doesn't leave her own Xiu'er, so how can she have the chance to meet any stranger."
"What relics did Miss Zheng leave behind?"
"Relics? I don't know if an unfinished embroidery counts. Because the other day was the birthday of my husband's family. Xiu'er kept saying that she would complete an embroidery alone and give it to her mother as a gift."
"Embroidery!" Guan Wei's body shook. He thought of half of the phoenix embroidery left by He Yueru. They were embroidering before they died. Is this the murderer's standard for choosing the target of the offender? What kind of weird hobby is this? Why does he like to hurt the embroidery woman?
"Zheng Ji, do you have any other special information about this Miao person?"
Zheng Ji shook his head and said, "This Miao man is coming and going without a trace. I know very little about him. I really can't remember what?"
"Okay! Please trouble Zheng Ji, you go down first!"
Zheng Ji agreed and turned around and left.
Guan Wei looked at Zheng Yuan and said, "Old Zheng, according to our speculation, this criminal commits crimes every ten days, and the targets of the attack are all wealthy daughters. Today I got another news that he likes to find embroidery women to do it. You are the best among the merchants in Xiongzhou, do you know who has a woman of the right age?"
"I need to check this carefully, but we businessmen have money, and we don't have several wives and concubines, and we have many children in our family, so we should have many suitable ones.
Otherwise, I should have hosted a commercial party in three days, but I refused because of family affairs and changed it to Lu's host. If I am interested at the moment, I will take you to see it."
"Okay! Then thank Mr. Zheng; then we will see you in three days. If Mr. Zheng thinks of anything, you can come to me directly. Thank you for your reception, let's say goodbye first!"
Guan Wei said, and stood up and said goodbye to leave with Tian Qing.
"Head, what are we going to do now?"
"Continue to check! This time we go around the Jia family to see!" Guan Wei's eyes flashed.
After leaving the Jia family, Guan Wei did not gain much. He had a red unfinished wedding dress in his hand. It is said that Jia Feng, the lady of the Jia family, had reached the grade of marriage and was about to get married, but he was stained with blood and died.
After Guan Wei came out of the Jia family, it was already dark. He looked back at Tian Qing, who was already tired and said, "Let's go! Let's go back and continue tomorrow."
After Guan Wei returned, several other teams of constables had already returned. They were all talking about the Miao people, but there was no news about the search this day.
Guan Wei gathered these people and then began to summarize and report today's investigation results.
"Tomorrow, all the cloth shops will be added. I want to know who has purchased cloth during this period. What I want to talk about is silk, silk, silk, these valuable things, ordinary cotton and linen are not counted."
"Yes!" The constables quickly agreed.
"There is no information after a day. At the critical moment, I said that the case was not solved like this. It seems that people don't need money, and they don't use people randomly. I heard that the Baozhou God of Inspector is coming, so let's see how the Baozhou God of Inspector determines the case!"
Guan Wei turned his head and found that it was Wu Yu who had been taught a lesson by him, so he smiled and said, "I said the name of the Baozhou God Captain Jiang Lie. He is an old senior and deserves our respect. However, the criminal will not stop just because you are an old senior. According to my speculation, this guy will take action every ten days. Now that the time has passed, everyone should work harder and find him out quickly!"
"At the moment, why do you say that this guy will do a case every 10 days? You can't make this judgment by a few coincidental numbers this time!"
Guan Wei said: "This person's methods are vicious, as if it is not just a beast desire. He cruelly destroys the victim and gets some pleasure from it. This is a kind of pervert in his heart. This kind of person has his own persistence, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. If they can't control their desires, they will definitely take action again."
"Uh--" Wu Yu was stunned for a while, not to mention whether Guan Wei was right. This set of words left Wu Yu speechless, and he couldn't understand at all.
"Why don't you know what I'm talking about? Then shut up! Since Mr. He asked me to take charge of this matter, I have the final say here today. As for whether the criminal can be found, all the consequences will be borne by me. As for this Baozhou God Captain, I'll talk about it when he comes!"
Guan Wei glanced around and said, "I think what I said just now is clear enough. Do you have anything else to understand?"
"I understand! I understand!" The captains shuddered and said in their hearts: "This guy has the support of Mr. He. If the Baozhou God Captain comes, he will have to obey the capital God Captain, and we will be even more obedient."
Guan Wei's eyes swept through Jiang Hong and Wu Yu again. Jiang Hong snorted coldly and said, "Wu Yu, you spray feces all over your mouth every day. At the critical moment, don't worry, I'll stare at him tomorrow, and it's sure that nothing will happen."
"That's good! I also hope that everyone can unite and take the thief as soon as possible and give justice to the victims. Then everyone will work hard! That's all today and disband!"
Guan Wei gave the order, and everyone agreed and turned around and left. Guan Wei saw that everyone had left, and he also went back to the inn to rest.
The next day, Guan Wei still called Uchitian Qing and continued to visit the city. This time, his visit scope expanded again, no longer limited to inns, and he also added a cloth shop.
After a day of visit, they returned to the yamen; several other people also came back. Guan Wei asked them about the visit one by one and found that no one found any trace of the Miao people.
"Have you checked the fabric shops in the city?"
"No! At the moment, as you said, you need to check their monthly accounts, and many of them can't remember them clearly. We just made some records."
"You can summarize everything you found!"
"Yes!" The constables agreed to start reporting their findings.
Guan Wei took the paper and pen to record it one by one, and then summarized it one by one.
"People, I have summarized the cloth shops you visited during the period. Let's take a look at the number of high-end silks you bought. The first is the Jia family, the second is the He family of the magistrate, and the third is the Zheng Yuan family, who runs an inn. Do you all think there is any problem?"
"The daughters of these three families have been killed!" Jiang Hongxi took a breath of air conditioning.
"Why is this happening?" These constables were a little confused: "Is this Miao man the one who was selected in the cloth shop?"
"There is another possibility that this Miao man had been hurt by an embroidery woman, so he wanted to take revenge, madly hurt the embroidery woman, and even revenge them through perverted and cruel means."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Everyone seemed to have a direction and looked at Guan Wei and said, "Head, what should we do next?"
"Don't worry, this guy will definitely appear. From tomorrow on, we will divide it into two groups again, one group of people will continue to visit and find out his news, and the other will go to various high-end cloth shops to wait for the appearance of this demon."
"Yes!" Everyone was a little excited when they heard this. They seemed to see hope again and were full of fighting spirit again.
Visiting and squatting are boring and even some luck is needed, but luck seems to be not on their side. After two days in a row, there is no gain at all.
At this time, more than half of the ten-day period for He Lingtu was passed, and nine days after Miss He was killed.
