Chapter 221 Painting the Murderer
The system was silent, probably checking the exam status.
Immediately, its excited voice sounded in Zhao Ruxi's mind: "First, host, you are first."
Zhao Ruxi made a "cut" sound, despising how rare and strange it was: "I took the first place in the exam, isn't that what I deserve?"
She usually sees the performance of the other five girls, and she is not even a little bit better than them. As long as she takes the exam and takes it seriously, if she does not take the first place, there is only one possibility: the masters are doing it.
Wrong test paper.
"No, host, you are the first among all candidates in the North College."
Zhao Ruxi's expression changed: "How is that possible?"
"Host, have you forgotten? All candidates in the North College use the same set of test papers every ten-day exam." The system reminded.
Only then did Zhao Ruxi remember what Master Cui had said at the time. Because Beiyuan does not arrange classes based on the length of time they have been enrolled, but based on the degree of knowledge they have mastered. As long as you can get a certain score in the ten-day exam, you will be able to
Promote to the corresponding class.
"Wow, am I so good?" She asked the system excitedly, "Those people have studied for so many years, but their test scores are not as high as mine?"
"That's right." There was a sense of pride in the system's voice, "You are the host I hit. Among the people who died at the same time, you had the highest IQ. You can't compare to others, so you didn't blind me in vain.
Choose you?"
Zhao Ruxi rolled her eyes: "Yes, I am so honored to have become the Chosen One."
After a while of bickering, the carriage stopped in front of Dali Temple.
Wu Zong saw the little junior sister who got off the carriage with bright eyes and a smile on her lips, looking a little excited. He thought it was because it was her first time in a place like Dali Temple, so she couldn't help but smile.
Children are children.
As soon as the two entered the Yamen, Wu Zong said to his subordinates: "Go and report to Mr. Zhang that I brought my junior sister to the Yamen."
The subordinate responded and came to report after a while: "Master Wu, Master Zhang, please come with your junior sister."
Wu Zong waved to Zhao Ruxi and led her to the innermost room. On the way, he briefly introduced Zhang Changshen's identity to Zhao Ruxi.
"He was the one who tried the Wei case." He pointed out.
After entering the door, he saluted the man who had his head buried in the file: "Sir."
Zhang Changshen raised his head and saw Zhao Ruxi. He stood up and greeted her warmly to sit down. He asked someone to serve tea and snacks and asked, "Are you the child who was transferred to the countryside by the Wei family?"
Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Sir, it's just the little girl."
Zhang Changshen's eyes suddenly showed interest: "I heard that you created a painting method that can paint people very similar to real people?"
Zhao Ruxi said: "It looks similar, but it is not the same as the real person. Because people have colors, and my paintings are only black and white."
Zhang Changshen squinted at Zhao Ruxi for a while, then smiled and said, "You don't look like a child who grew up in the countryside."
Zhao Ruxi's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm: "Many people say so. My parents said that I am worthy of being their child. Even if I am not raised by them, I am still like them in terms of temperament, words and deeds."
Zhang Changshen nodded and did not discuss the issue further.
He stood up and made a gesture: "Let's go, let's go to the prison."
Zhao Ruxi and Wu Zong followed him out. She looked around at this special yamen and asked Wu Zongdao quietly: "Brother, are the Wei family still locked up here?"
Wu Zong shook his head: "As soon as the decree was announced, he was immediately exiled. Now only the Wei family is on death row."
He glanced at Zhao Ruxi: "Does junior sister want to visit her?"
Zhao Ruxi smiled: "How is it possible?" Is she so confused?
Not to mention that the death row in Dali Temple was not easily visited, even if she could pass through Wu Zong, she would not be able to visit the Wei family.
She and the Wei family had a deep hatred, at least in the eyes of outsiders. If she ran to see the Wei family at this time, I didn't know how much gossip would spread in the capital.
It doesn’t mean that she was cruel and cruel at a young age. Even the Wei family was about to be beheaded, but she still refused to let go and chased her to the prison to ridicule her; it means that she couldn’t tell right from wrong and still wanted to sympathize with her.
Wei family; she even connected her actions with Suipingbo and the Wei family, giving rise to various interpretations.
It's not a good thing to say anyway.
What Wu Zong said was just a test. He was relieved when he saw that the junior sister was not that confused.
Zhang Changshen said he was going to the prison, but in fact he did not go to the prison, but to a yard some distance away from the prison.
In order to avoid suspicion, he did not lead Zhao Ruxi and others into the room. He asked people to move the tables and chairs to the corridor to sit down. He said to the prison chief who came after hearing the noise: "Bring Sun Jiawang up."
The warden agreed and withdrew.
Zhang Changshen then said to Zhao Ruxi: "This is a serial murder case. In the past year, there have been six consecutive murder cases in Yangzhou, all of which... the whole family was killed. There was no warning when the case occurred. After the incident, everything except the wall
There was only a bloody palm print left on the body, but there were no other clues. The local government investigated for half a year and found no clue. Seeing that the murders continued to occur and more and more people died, they handed it over to Dali Temple."
"Just recently, the sixth murder occurred. The case was exactly the same. The only difference was that the family who was killed happened to have a new mother and son. Since the family was full of women, the owner placed the newly purchased male servant alone in the house.
They lived in the woodshed next to the vegetable garden. The night the murderer committed the murder, the servant got up. Hearing the noise in front of him, he quietly went to the main house to check. He happened to see the murderer holding a lamp and smearing bloody palm prints on the wall. His mother
The host’s wife and young lady were all killed and fell to the ground.”
"Probably because they didn't know there was such a little boy at home, the murderer left without further searching. After the murderer left, the young manservant ran outside the city gate to wait all night. As soon as the city gate opened, he went to the Yamen to beat drums and report the crime."
In this case, all women were killed and raped, and the families who were killed were either widows and their daughters, or only the women were at home, and the men were temporarily away from home.
However, Zhao Ruxi was a little girl, and Zhang Changshen couldn't tell her these things, so he skipped some rhetoric.
"This case is so involved that it has made people in Yangzhou panic. Now we have finally met an eyewitness of the murderer. We are extremely cautious, and we are worried about alerting the snake and letting the person hide. Therefore, we want to trouble Ms. Zhao to help us catch the culprit.
The face is drawn."
Zhang Changshen said and cupped his hands towards Zhao Ruxi.
