Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer
Chapter 248 Shop Murder
Something terrible had happened! The town's small grocery store had been broken into by criminals the previous night. The owner was away that night, and his daughter, Wang Dahua, who was left alone to look after the store, was hacked and injured by the criminals.
Fortunately, she called for help in time and was heard by nearby residents, who rushed her to the hospital, thus saving her life.
Lieutenant Li and his men arrived early to investigate the scene. Wang Dahua was still unconscious, so the authorities needed to search for clues first.
After inspection, apart from the damaged door and some items damaged by the fight inside, no other obvious losses were found. Even the small amount of money on the cabinet was not taken.
It seems the criminals weren't out for money. Judging from Wang Dahua's injuries, the cuts weren't in vital areas, so it didn't seem like a fatality.
As for the rape, Wang Dahua is big and strong, a famous tomboy. I guess... everyone knows it in their hearts but it's not easy to say it out loud.
In short, the motive of this case is confusing. In addition, the criminals have not been found yet, and even Boss Wang has not been heard from yet. The detectives are racking their brains and are at a loss.
At this critical moment, Lieutenant Li naturally thought of the two young masters Ran Mo and Qing Sheng who had helped them investigate the case before, and asked them to invite them to the scene as well.
Ranmo and Qingsheng had been through so many "affairs" recently that they hadn't worked on a case in a while. Upon hearing the news, they immediately rushed over without stopping.
After hearing the case, the two men carefully searched the store. Qingsheng, with his sharp eyesight, quickly spotted a strand of hair on the corner of the table. It drifted slowly under the light streaming into the room.
Qingsheng carefully removed the hair and examined it carefully. Then he brought it close to his nose and sniffed it.
Everyone watched his movements intently, wondering what this thin strand of hair meant.
After a moment, Qingsheng nodded and held up the strand of hair. He said to everyone, "From my observation, this strand of hair comes from an animal, but it's not native to this country. It's rare even in Dayue. It looks very much like the black goat, a specialty of foreign countries."
Everyone nodded, but they weren't sure what he was trying to say. Qingsheng continued, "This kind of black mountain wool is commonly used to weave clothing locally. However, in Dayue, we have long since abandoned this method of making clothes. Therefore, this strand of wool may indicate one thing: the perpetrator is from a foreign country or has connections with foreigners."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed their approval, praising Qingsheng's good eyesight and judgment. Qingsheng looked at Ranmo with a hint of pride. Ranmo was happy for him, but didn't show it too much on his face. After all, this was just the beginning of the investigation, and many things were still unclear.
Li Xianwei asked, "Which foreign country does Prince Chu refer to?"
Qingsheng paused and then said, "It's mainly Di Country."
Everyone gasped. Di was an "enemy nation" with a strained relationship with Dayue. If someone from there came to cause trouble in Xiaoyue City, it would be a serious matter.
Qingsheng saw everyone's concerns and said, "Don't worry, everyone. This is just a preliminary assessment. Whether this is a simple assault case or something else, we'll be able to make a further conclusion once we find more clues, especially once the victim wakes up or we find the suspect."
Everyone nodded. Then, they began to observe the subtle details inside and outside the house. Sure enough, they discovered a line of boot prints along the wall that didn't resemble the shoes worn by locals. They were oversized, giving them a distinctly foreign feel. This confirmed Qingsheng's assumption.
Just then, a constable arrived with a report that someone in Dongxiang had reported a missing horse. They had heard a neighing sound from the stable that night. Because they were fast asleep, they hadn't gotten up to check.
When the morning came, they discovered that the horse was missing. There was no sign of the reins being broken, so it must have been secretly taken away.
Originally, the store owner thought it was just the work of a thief, but he also heard about a major crime in the grocery store and wondered if there was any connection between the two, so he quickly reported the case to the police for investigation.
When everyone heard this, it seemed that this case involved many factors and required more time and energy to investigate thoroughly.
