Chapter 14 Cocoon Peeling

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Chongliu is really a ghost!"

Probably because he was too excited, Wang Jian even came out with his local accent, but Shen Hao understood that "ghost" actually means "there is a big problem".

"How to say?"

"Xiao Chongliu's case in the yamen is very clear. His ancestral home is Jingxi, and his hometown is Shiyuan Town, a hundred miles east of Wuyang City. , so he is considered a loner, and the way is clear and simple. We didn't think there was any problem when we checked it for the first time.

But I went back in the morning and went through it again. According to your intention, I sent people to go to Shiyuan Town quickly, and then sent people back to Licheng to find the general flag and open a note to coordinate with Jingbei to investigate Xiao Chongliu's distant marriage. Girls from the past, it turned out to be interesting.

There was indeed a family surnamed Xiao in Shiyuan Town, and the basic situation was basically the same as that described in Xiao Chongliu's copybook in the yamen, but none of the old people in the town knew Xiao Chongliu in the portrait.

I found Xiao Chongliu's younger sister in Jingbei, she is indeed there, but she doesn't know Xiao Chongliu at all, no, they don't know the Xiao Chongliu in our portrait. She also said that her brother Xiao Chongliu died on the road many years ago when he was fleeing famine. "

Shen Hao frowned, tapped heavily on Xiao Chongliu's portrait on the table, and said, "Does this mean that this "Xiao Chongliu" is an impostor?"

"right!"

"It's really interesting."

"It's very interesting. According to the neighbors, Xiao Chongliu has been in Qi's family for more than ten years. Do you think the Qi family will know that Xiao Chongliu is actually a fake ghost?"

"Hehe, it's hard to say."

After being silent for a while, Wang Jian took a few steps closer and whispered, "Xiao Qi, do you think the Qi family was destroyed by Xiao Chongliu?"

"Hehe, are you making some hypothetical deduction?"

"Hey, I still hope that the little flag is right."

"Speak, I'll listen carefully." Shen Hao sat upright, put away his smile, and looked serious. Wang Jian has been with him for four years. He is a capable person, and he has been leading him all the time, so I also want to hear how capable Wang Jian is when facing such difficult cases.

Deduction, a kind of inertial guessing based on logic and clues. The level of this kind of ability directly means the potential in Xuan Qingwei, especially for a person like Shen Hao who has no heels.

"Xiao Qi, we currently have three clues: one is that 90% of the Qi family may be in the business of human blood behind the scenes, and they have direct contacts with evil monks, and it is very likely that they have invited evil monks to sit in the guest house.

The second is that there are only 58 real corpses among the 61 members of the Qi family, and three of them were killed by Chen Erniu and three unrelated unlucky people to make up for it. It is obvious that someone wants to hide the whereabouts of Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing .

The third is that Xiao Chongliu's identity is false, and there is a 90% possibility that Chen Erniu and the three he killed were used to make up the number.

So based on these three clues, I made a hypothesis, assuming that Xiao Chongliu is a key person who can be involved in these three clues at the same time. In this way, it is possible to have some deduction.

Xiaoqi, I speculate that Xiao Chongliu is probably not just stealing other people's identities. He is the butler of the big house in the Qi family, in charge of the accounts and warehouse of the big house. It can be said that he is an important figure in the Qi family. Maybe the Qi family didn't know anything about what was going on behind the scenes, and there was a high probability that they were involved in it.

In this way, the question arises, why does the Qi family dare to let a person with a foreign surname know about the business of selling human blood, which is an extermination of the nine clans?

Unless they have absolute confidence that this person will not betray them.

So, I deduce that the reason why Xiao Chongliu can reassure the Qi family is his real identity? For example, the evil cultivator?

Anyway, the human blood business is also connected with the evil cultivators. If Xiao Chongliu is the one who is behind the secret activities of the Qi family, it can explain a lot of problems. And do you think the evil cultivator who came to attack our resident last night could be Xiao Chongliu? "

Shen Hao didn't affirm or deny, but just looked at Wang Jian and signaled him to continue.

"If Xiao Chongliu is an evil cultivator, I can continue to deduce it below. For example, I think at least 70% of the deaths of the entire Qi family may have been done by Xiao Chongliu, an evil cultivator. This also coincides with the evil atmosphere present at the scene , It also coincided with the fact that he had found Chen Erniu's three "replacement ghosts" for himself in advance.

As for the motive, I guess it has something to do with the Qi family secretly making yin tofu, and there should be some interest disputes involved."

Shen Hao listened very seriously and agreed, but in his opinion, Wang Jian's reasoning was still a little off. The general direction was correct but there were many omissions.

He picked up the teacup on the table, blew on the foam, and asked with a smile, "Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing, father and son, you missed."

"This is a clueless one. After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't figure it out. There should be some clues missing."

"Not bad, in fact, you just didn't notice it."

"Please set the flag right."

Shen Hao put down his teacup and reminded: "According to your deduction, there is a high probability that members of the Qi family will die at the hands of "Xiao Chongliu", and "Xiao Chongliu" is still an evil cultivator, right?"

"Yes."

"In this case, why did Xiao Chongliu kill two more irrelevant homeless men to serve as the corpses of Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing? It would make sense for him to fake his own death, so it doesn't make sense to help two members of the Qi family escape? He But the whole family of Qi was wiped out."

"You mean that Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing have already."

"Dead, I'm sure they're dead. It's impossible to miss these two people alone."

"Then why kill two homeless people to make up the number? Isn't it superfluous?"

"Hehe, maybe Xiao Chongliu doesn't want people to see the corpses of Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing? Or maybe the corpses of Qi Wenyuan and Qi Hengbing are very important to Xiao Chongliu, and he doesn't want to just throw them away?"

corpse? Very important?

Wang Jian's thoughts changed sharply, and he quickly thought of a possibility: According to his deduction, Xiao Chongliu is an evil monk, and many methods of evil monks are for refining corpses, and he even thought of a terrible possibility

"Xiao Qi, you are not saying that Xiao Chongliu is... that group of people?"

"Nothing is impossible. The direction of your deduction is not wrong, but some corners and corners are missing. If you substitute my judgment into your deduction, you have to think about it yourself to see if everything is smooth. ?”

Hearing Shen Hao's words, Wang Jian unconsciously and quickly deduced it in his mind. Indeed, as Shen Hao said, after adding Shen Hao's guess, the whole deduction process was smooth and there was no more jerky than before. But it was precisely because of this that Wang Jian's face turned livid.

"Xiao Qi, if it's really that group of people, then this case will be closed."

"Don't make it public, I know what you're worried about, don't panic, the case is still under control, and I've already given Zongqi a pass on this matter, so keep calm, this may be a big opportunity for you and me Woolen cloth!"
