The Great Shaman's Corpse
"What's the suspicion?" several people asked in unison.
Luo Jun flipped through the information. "Look, it says here that the bride screamed first, and then everyone didn't take it seriously. After a while, she shouted murder, and people rushed in. They happened to see the murderer intending to molest the bride. How long will this last?"
Lord Lu frowned slightly. "This is not clearly stated..."
"Even if it's just a few... just a few seconds..." Luo Jun analyzed. "A person who can break Wujida's aura with a single blow and escape the pursuit of many Southern Borderlands masters after the incident must be a top-notch master. Is it so difficult to subdue a weak woman? Not to mention asking her to shout out, I'm afraid she was knocked unconscious without even having time to react..."
Tie Jingang and Liu Si both nodded and thought it made sense. Lord Lu explained, "About this, the Southern Borderlands people who were present at the time also raised it. During the interrogation, the bride said that she was frightened when she saw Wujida being killed at first, and then froze after she screamed, but this sound made the murderer notice the bride, and seeing her beauty, he became malicious and pounced on her. Only then did the bride react and scream for murder."
"It's a bit far-fetched." Hou Song frowned and said, "Is the bride hiding something?"
"There is no point in hiding it or not." Lord Lu said, "Although her husband died on the wedding night, A Li is already Great Shaman's person. According to their According to custom, as a concubine, Great Shaman must be buried with her. The day after tomorrow when Great Shaman is buried will be the day of her death! But before that, no one dares to touch Great Shaman's woman."
"Southern Borderlands actually still has this custom?" Luo Jun complained, "It's a bit too miserable to die just after you get married."
"Not all Southern Borderlands people have this rule." Lord Lu said, "Southern Borderlands people live in the vast mountainous area and are divided into many tribes. Those who live in Yunzhou City are mainly Manyin Tribe, this tribe is brave and fierce, very powerful, and retains many customs of blood sacrifices. It is said that there are also some Southern Borderlands tribes that are gentler and don't have so many bloody customs, but they are not here in Yunzhou, so we don't have much contact with them."
"This... does not make sense..." Several people looked at each other.
Lord Lu explained, "Fifth Elder also has this suspicion, but according to etiquette, the bride is currently under control. But he said that when Great Shaman is buried the day after tomorrow, if the real culprit is not caught, he will feed the bride a Heart-Crushing Gu,"
Lord Lu immediately arranged for a head catcher named Zhang to take Hundred Rivers Sect and several others to the crime scene.
In principle, Southern Borderlands people must abide by Central Plains's laws, but in practice, whether it is murder, arson, or theft and robbery, as long as foreigners are not involved, they are basically solved by the Council Hall themselves, and the Central Plains government is too lazy to take care of it.
Luo Jun is not worried about solving the case. With Dice of Heavenly Secrets in hand, he has the ability to spy on secrets. As long as the murderer is present, there is basically no escape from his judgment. Even if the murderer is not present, many hidden clues can be found by relying on dice.
"Not necessarily." Hou Song shook his head. "The bride was originally unwilling to marry Great Shaman, and she was already forced by Death Omen. If she has the consciousness to die, then it is not impossible to collude with the murderer to murder Great Shaman."
"What a beast!" Liu Si cursed bitterly, "Have a good death!"
"What about the other concubines?" Liu Si asked, "I mentioned before that Great Shaman has taken in more than a dozen concubines in the past few years, and all of them will be buried with them?"
This is the Council Hall of Southern Borderlands people. It is similar to the government office of Central Plains. In the front are some agencies that handle official business, and in the backyard is the residence of Great Shaman.
"I'm afraid I can't analyze anything just by looking at the materials..." Luo Jun shook his head. "It seems that we can only go to the site to have a look."
"Great Shaman is dead, A Li is about to die..." Tie Jingang on the side analyzed. "From this point of view, she should be the person who least wants Great Shaman to die, so the suspicion can basically be eliminated."
After all, Yunzhou City is under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains imperial court. Although many Southern Borderlands people live here, it is difficult to manage due to different living and religious habits, so this The Southern Borderlands people here have also established their own management organization, which is similar to the combination of a yamen and an embassy, and Great Shaman Wujida is the highest official of the tribe stationed here.
Having said this, Lord Lu sighed, "Less than half of those concubines are still alive. This Great Shaman seems to have some unusual habits. After the concubines pass through the door, they will often be tortured to death within a few months. It is said that most of the suspects captured by Southern Borderlands are the parents and relatives of these concubines!"
"But this doesn't explain why the murderer wanted to molest the bride after the murder was successful. It was just a temporary move?" Luo Jun frowned. "In addition, if the bride is really so strong, knowing that she will die and still being tortured after the murder, why didn't she commit suicide?"
Led by Officer Zhang, several people arrived at the settlement of Southern Borderlands people, walked through the streets, and finally came to a huge building.
Officer Zhang asked the guard to inform him. Soon a young man came out and led several people through the front meeting hall and to the backyard.
You can still see many festive decorations in the yard, and you can see the excitement of last night's wedding banquet. As for Great Shaman's bridal chamber, it is the scene of the crime. It is currently being watched by two Southern Borderlands warriors, and no one is allowed to approach.
"I listened to you, nothing was moved at the scene." Fifth Elder was waiting in front of the crime scene. "You can investigate, but you must be accompanied by Sanji throughout the whole process, and you cannot act without authorization!"
Sanji is the young man who brought a few people in. He looks like he is in his mid-twenties, tall and thin, and he is very smart.
"If you still need any help, you can tell Sanji, he will tell me, and I will try my best to satisfy you."
"I just have two requests." Luo Jun said, "First, I want to see the remains of Great Shaman and Murderous Weapon; second, I hope you can provide the suspects currently found and the list of all the guests who attended the wedding banquet yesterday., give me a copy of everyone... including but not limited to the bride, the servants here... In short, as long as you can think of people related to yesterday's wedding, give me a list, and attach their identity introduction, and their relationship with Great Shaman, the more complete the better!"
"The list is okay. As for Great Shaman's body..." Fifth Elder frowned. "I can take you to see it in person now, but I only have this chance today. Tomorrow we will bathe and dress Great Shaman in preparation for burial."
"No problem!" Luo Jun nodded.
Fifth Elder told Sanji to handle the list first. He personally took Luo Jun and others to the morgue and saw the dead Great Shaman.
Good guy, unlike the generally thin image of people in southern Xinjiang that Luo Jun saw along the way, this great shaman had a very fat figure. He was over 1.9 meters tall, with a fat head and a beard. He lay flat on the table, his belly was bulging, and his arms and thighs were as thick as a slender woman's waist. However, you can still see the edges and corners of the muscles, and you can see that it is not just bloated. Even if you don't look at his cultivation, this physique must have been that of a strong man in life.
But now, this warrior is completely dead. There is a hideous wound on his chest, and the corners of his mouth are full of dried blood. This is caused by blood spurting from the mouth and nose after the heart was punctured.
"Except for the chest, there are no other wounds on the whole body." Fifth Elder introduced, "It can be concluded that he was killed with one blow. The murderer was very skilled. He didn't have dozens of lives on his hands, so he couldn't have practiced this technique."
Tie Jingang nodded in agreement. "It does look like it was done by a professional killer..." He then looked at Luo Jun: "What do you think?"
Luo Jun xin said I can read a hammer! I have never studied criminal investigation, and I have never experienced a murder case. Who knows what clues there are on this body.
But, just because I can't read it doesn't mean I can't play dice either.
Thinking of this, he took out a fallen leaf picked up on the road and threw it up while no one was paying attention. At the same time, he activated Dice of Heavenly Secrets.
"Landed in a suspicious place!"
"The direction of this incident is unclear and cannot be determined..."
Sure enough...Luo Jun knew it was not that easy and immediately changed the wording.
"Falling on clues to solve the case!"
"Activate Intermediate Point Correction!"
This time, the dice finally turned.
The result for one pair is 95, and for one pair it is 85!
I didn't expect to be so lucky. Seeing these two results, Luo Jun felt a heartache in my heart. I wasted an opportunity Intermediate Point Correction...
But at least he could get a clue, so Luo Jun reluctantly chose 95 points.
"Ding, Event Difficulty 100 points, Final Points 95+15 points, Event Success!"
As the prompt sounded, the leaves swayed in the air, and finally fell on the head of the Great Shaman corpse...
