Chapter 241 The real murderer in screening
All thirty-two suspects were concentrated in one of the largest prisons and stood together in shackles.
In front of them, there was a small table with a few pieces of white paper on it, and a pen and inkstone next to it.
Luo Jun came to the table and looked at the prisoners in front of him. Most of them were ordinary people. They all looked depressed, some were still coughing and trembling, and they looked bad.
The great witch was killed for only seven or eight hours now. These guys were locked up for at most half a day, but they became like this? It seems that the prison disaster is not only a physical torture to these ordinary people, but also a mental torture.
Luo Jun sighed and folded a few pieces of paper in half. Seeing his busy appearance, Lord Lu, Tie Jingang, Liu Song and others outside the cage didn''t understand why...
Finally, Luo Jun divided the paper into thirty-two pieces, then took out a small bottle from the treasure box, hid it in his palm, poured out some transparent liquid from it and dripped it into the inkstone, and then used ink pieces to dip the liquid into ink.
Then, he asked the suspects to step forward one by one, wrote down his name in the ink, and said, "I am not the murderer of the great witch."
"Uh...I can''t write..." A suspect coughed and raised his hand.
"Then..." Luo Jun''s eyes rolled: "Then put your handprints, everyone put your handprints."
The prisoners stepped forward one by one, pressed their handprints and finished speaking.
At this time, Luo Jun messed up the pieces of paper together, and then activated the dice of Tianji in his mind.
"Pick out the handprints that the real murderer who killed the great witch pressed!"
"Ding, this event is an inevitable event and cannot be determined, the number of times is reduced by one!"
very good!
This confirms that the real murderer is indeed not among these people
But this is not the end. Tie Jingang and Liu Si behind him are still watching, wondering what Luo Jun asked them to put their handprints and speak.
Luo Jun sighed, shook his head, wiped the remaining ink in the inkstone with paper, and then threw it into the brazier and burned it.
"Okay, there is no real murderer among these people..."
Seeing that the paper pieces were burned to ashes, Luo Jun finally came to the conclusion.
"How did you know?" Tie Jingang frowned and said, "What are those liquids?"
"That is the water of truth, a consumable. When using it to sign or press a handprint, if you tell a lie, the water of truth will burn... I asked them to say that they are not the murderer, but no one''s handprints burn, which means that they are telling the truth."
"Is there such treasure?" Tie Jingang also gained his knowledge. Because he knew that Luo Jun had a different relationship with the dean and Mr. Yuan, he did not question the origin of the treasures of Luo Jun. As for Liu Si behind him, he looked at Luo Jun with admiration. Unexpectedly, this junior brother who didn’t even have Gangqi had so many treasures hidden?
How could they know that this so-called true water was just made up by Luo Jun’s mysterious work. The one that just sprinkled on the piece of paper was just clear water...
How could ordinary water be taken out of the treasure box? Because the real treasure is not these liquids, but the small bottle containing water.
This thing was also collected by Luo Jun in the wilderness. The name is simple and easy to understand. It is called a water storage bottle. It is an exquisite treasure. Although it is only the size of an egg and cannot be seen in your hands, it can hold more than fifty liters of water.
However, this thing can only be filled with water. Even if there are some trace impurities, it will be purified into pure water when poured in... But if there are too many impurities, such as sea water, beer, beverages, etc., it cannot be filled at all... So the only function of this thing is to serve as a water storage device, which can provide water in some extreme environments. It is useful to say that it is useful, but in a wilderness where there is no shortage of water, its function is really limited, otherwise it would not have been used to set up a stall for money.
Logically speaking, there should be a large number of functional treasures of low-level levels. Senior explorers like Tie Jingang may have seen them, so Luo Jun was afraid of being seen and hid them in his palm. No one saw the bottle. Seeing him talking nonsense, he couldn''t imagine that the liquid was ordinary water...
Although it was confirmed that there was no real murderer in the prison, the treasure Bainamen and Lord Lu believed that it could not convince the people in southern Xinjiang. So these suspects have to continue to be locked in prison... But Lord Lu took care of the prison chief and tried his best to treat them well.
"Since I''m sure I''m not on the Central Plains side, are Is it a southern Xinjiang?" When I returned to the reception room, Lord Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "It''s better if we are not... I''ll contact the fifth elder and ask him to bring the suspect locked in the southern Xinjiang side to verify it, and it will be revealed!"
"But the people of southern Xinjiang may not necessarily recognize the conclusion given by our magic weapon." Hou Song shook his head: "And if there is no real murderer among the suspects in southern Xinjiang, they will still not give up!"
"If you want to calm the incident, it is best to provide decisive evidence. It is best to go to the scene to see it." Hou Song, who was wronged, was very concerned about solving the case. "I''m going to the scene...no problem!" Lord Lu nodded: "I can arrange for the messenger to take you there... I have already said hello before and agreed to you to intervene in the investigation."
Indeed, if the fifth elder did not agree, he would not have cooperated with Lord Lu to perform such a play before.
"We must go to the scene, but before that, Lord Lu, can we show us the current investigation information?" Luo Jun suggested: "Even if there is a magic weapon to help, there must be a clue to solve the case."
"Okay, okay." Lord Lu immediately ordered, and soon, the investigation information about the assassination of the Great Witch was sent to several people.
Wujida, a great Wu from the southern border, is fifty-two years old. He is the highest commander in the southern border area of ??Yunzhou City. He came to Yunzhou City three years ago. He is proficient in witchcraft, has a strong martial arts skills, and has a level of concentrating his mind.
Yesterday was the day when Ukida took a concubine. This guy is lustful by nature. After coming to Yunzhou City, he has married more than a dozen wives. Yesterday, the bride was named Ali. She moved to Yunzhou City not long ago and lived alone. A few days ago, Ukida accidentally met this girl while shopping. After seeing her, she was about to kidnap her on the street. However, Ali forced her to die and said that she was not allowed to commit herself to him, but she had to come to the door to propose marriage according to the etiquette in southern Xinjiang.
Ukida agreed happily, so he sent someone to watch the girl, and immediately prepared a betrothal gift to arrange for someone to come to propose marriage, so yesterday''s wedding was born.
It can be said that from the first sight of Ukida, to the time the two got married, it took less than three days.
No wonder when everyone saw the bride pickup team yesterday, everyone was full of joy, but the bride was depressed...
Because Ukida had become a habit of taking a concubine, it was not known to everyone in the city, and only people from southern Xinjiang were invited for wedding banquets. This guy also drank a lot, and finally walked into the bridal chamber with the help of everyone.
However, not long after, Ali''s scream came from the bridal chamber. At first, everyone thought that the great witch was enjoying her life and did not care. But soon, Ali clearly shouted "Help" and "kill people". Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong. After breaking into the door, they found that the great witch was lying on the ground with a dagger in her chest, and Ali was being overwhelmed by a man in black, resisting with all his might...
The man in black was knocked out of the good deeds and immediately broke out of the window. When everyone chased him out, they found that this guy was very skilled in light skills and disappeared in a blink of an eye...
The above is the entire process of the case. After the incident, the fifth elder immediately blocked the southern Xinjiang area and controlled all the guests attending the wedding banquet that night. At the same time, he thoroughly investigated the Southern Xinjiang people who had a holiday with the Great Witch and might have a motive for murder. At the same time, he also reported to the government and asked Lord Lu to search for the murderer from the people of the Central Plains and the Highlanders.
According to the memories of witnesses, the information that the murderer could be sure of was that he was medium-height, thin, male, and had considerable strength.
After all, the great witch has not weak martial arts skills. Although she is drunk, she still has the ability to protect herself. There are almost no traces of fighting in the house, which means she is killed with one blow, and she can escape the pursuit of many masters in the southern border, which shows that her light skills and hidden skills are quite good.
"Can it be the people of the Highland?" After reading the case file, Tie Jingang suddenly asked.
"We are also investigating the Highlanders... but they don''t cooperate very much." Lord Lu sighed: "But neither me nor the fifth elders think this matter is related to the Highlanders."
"Why?" Tie Jin said curiously.
"Because the Highlanders are very religious and follow the doctrines in their daily lives. Although they do not abide by the laws of the Central Plains, they have their own principles." Lord Lu introduced: "In their doctrine, except for their husbands, women on the wedding day cannot come into contact with other men. Even if they talk to each other, they are a taboo and will be punished by God. Therefore, even if the Highlanders can kill people, they will not molest the bride."
"In addition, this guy Ukida is a bit bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Although he is a powerful man in southern Xinjiang and Central Plains, he never dares to provoke highlanders, so there should be no motive for committing crimes there..." Hou Song also added
"It''s fine for the people of Southern Xinjiang to be themselves..." Luo Jun snorted coldly: "The people of Central Plains are not under the jurisdiction of his great witch in the South Xinjiang, so why have they become soft persimmons in the eyes of others and can they be bullied at will?"
"This..." When talking about this, Lord Lu was also a little ashamed: "It was my lack of management... I have caused the people under my rule to suffer..."
Luo Jun shook his head and stopped pursuing this topic: "Where is the weapon? Why isn''t it mentioned in the case file?"
"Well..." Lord Lu said: "When our official officer arrived, the weapon had been taken away by the people of southern Xinjiang. They said they would use the witchcraft to curse the owner of the weapon, so we didn''t see it. According to the description, it was just an ordinary steel dagger with good quality, but nothing special..."
"That''s a bit strange..." Luo Jun looked through the case file information: "There is a big doubt here..."
