Changsheng starts from taking care of the painted skin master

Chapter 7: The Nightmare of the Woodcarver

Double wedding leave?
Sure enough, leaders are born with the ability to make promises!

This cake, look at it, it's big and round
"Uncle Wang, how is the case going now?"

Li Changsheng asked.

If we can solve the case and kill the murderer, we can not only get rid of harm to the people, but also gain the source.

No matter how he considered it, he couldn't refuse.

"We gave the murderer in this case a code name - Nightmare."

Wang Lin did not hide anything and said in detail:
"I got the news yesterday and asked people to check for other victims, and sure enough, five more were found."

"Including Miss Dong, the six victims are distributed in a circle with Dongping Street as the center. I guess the nightmare is likely in this area, or even on Dongping Street."

"Uncle Wang, your opinion is great!"

Li Changsheng praised that Wang Lin was quite capable in handling cases.

“Just the basics.”

Wang Lin waved his hand. "I'm planning to lead a team to investigate. Have you had breakfast?"

"not yet!"

"Okay, come over after breakfast and check it out together!"

"it is good!"

Wang Lin left in a hurry and Li Changsheng went to eat noodles.

Zhenniang's case has been solved. Wang Lin left two constables to collect the body and sort out the case and deal with the final details.

Their focus is on nightmares.

After breakfast, Li Changsheng came to Dongping Street.

"Brother Sheng, you're here!"

Lin You came running over, his fat face trembling, and exclaimed:

"I heard that you just solved a rape and murder case and found the murderer Zhang the Butcher at a glance. You are amazing!"

"The Zhenniang case is nothing. Butcher Zhang's work is too crude. Even without me, the case can be solved."

Li Changsheng is not proud.

He knew that the case of Zhenniang was just the result of Zhang the Butcher being blinded by lust. After hearing about the Mengmo case, his subordinates controlled his superiors and raped and killed Zhenniang because of his lust.

There is absolutely no planning or technique.

"No matter what, this is a heinous rape and murder case. Brother Sheng, can you tell me what you were thinking at the time so I can learn from you?"

Seeing that he was not joking but really wanted to learn, Li Changsheng did not hide his feelings.

"In fact, after committing a crime, many murderers have the intention to return to the crime scene."

"Some murderers may have done this to tidy up the scene and make sure no clues were left behind."

"Some may do it to relive the crime process and enjoy the thrill of killing."

"Some may be to understand the progress of the case, learn lessons from it, and make timely follow-up responses, or even mislead the direction of the case."

Lin You's eyes lit up, "I see. Butcher Zhang just wants to understand the development of the case and mislead the direction of the case so as to shift the blame to the nightmare."

"Not bad!"

Li Changsheng nodded and continued, "Zhang the Butcher was too active and tried his best to mislead people into thinking the murderer was a nightmare demon, but this alone is not enough to make people suspicious."

"Afterwards, I went in to check Zhenniang's body. She had been raped, and the marks left by the man were very obvious. Butcher Zhang didn't know how the nightmare's victims behaved, so he put the blame on the nightmare, which was counterproductive and only made things more obvious!"

"It's definitely not the work of a nightmare demon. I also found that Zhenniang was suffocated to death by someone covering her mouth and nose. There is a palm print on her face."

"Although the palm print is not obvious, it can still be seen that it matches the hand of Zhang the Butcher very well."

"Zhang the Butcher has always coveted Zhenniang, and his many behaviors made people even more suspicious, so I tricked him by pretending to find his hair on Zhenniang, but he showed his true colors and confessed without being asked!"

Lin You's narrowed eyes sparkled with admiration:
"Brother Sheng, you are truly amazing!"

"Master, please accept my disciple's bow!"

"roll!"

Li Changsheng kicked him and cursed him with a bad smile.

Lin You dodged flexibly and took Li Changsheng to search for the nightmare demon from house to house.

After searching for a long time, nothing was found.

"Damn it, is this bastard going to heaven or hell?"

Lin You was so tired that he stuck out his tongue and cursed.

Li Changsheng had a feeling that if things continued like this, it would most likely be in vain.

He took Lin You to the home of a victim.

The victim's surname was Kang and his given name was Wei. His family was fairly well-off.

Kang Wei usually stays at home and even has a live-in son-in-law, but he never expected to encounter something like this.

Li Changsheng arrived with Lin You, and the Kang family warmly welcomed him in.

The news that he had solved the Zhenniang case had spread throughout the city. After a morning of fermentation, the news had already become a hot topic in the city.

The Kang family also got the news.

Li Changsheng successfully met the victim Kang Wei, who was about twenty years old, mature and charming, especially with a big buttocks. However, her face was pale, her spirits were poor, and she looked sickly.

This is because his spirit was devoured. Kang Wei sat on the stool awkwardly, holding the corner of his clothes with both hands, lowering his head, and sobbing:

"At first I thought it was just a nightmare and that I was not feeling well. After the doctor examined me, he prescribed me some tonic medicine to calm my nerves and strengthen my qi."

"But I still had nightmares and my mental state was getting worse and worse. It wasn't until the government came to investigate that I realized it was more than just a nightmare."

Li Changsheng listened patiently, and waited until she was calmer before asking:

"Mrs. Kang, please forgive me for being so rude. Could you tell me the specific content of your nightmare? Maybe I can find a breakthrough point based on the murderer's behavior habits."

Kang Wei fell silent.

Li Changsheng knew that it would be difficult to ask the other party to talk about the process of being bullied in the dream.

He did not force the other party and immediately stood up and said goodbye.

I can only think of other ways.

"Sir, wait."

Kang Wei looked at Li Changsheng and gritted his teeth and said:

"I believe that you can bring the murderer to justice and seek justice for the innocent victim. I am willing to tell you someone."

"Thank you ma'am!"

Li Changsheng was overjoyed and asked Lin You to go out.

Kang Wei's family also left.

She and Li Changsheng were the only ones left in the room.

Li Changsheng said softly, "Madam, rest assured. I promise not to leak a single word of what I heard today."

"I believe in you, my Lord!"

Taking a deep breath, Kang Wei pursed his lips and said in a trembling voice:
"I had my first nightmare half a month ago. The nightmare demon seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog. I couldn't see its appearance clearly. Sometimes it even turned into a scary monster."

Her plump body trembled slightly, with fear in her eyes.

Li Changsheng listened silently and gave her encouraging eyes.

"I can't even describe what that monster looks like."

"After the nightmare turned into a monster, it would tear my body apart crazily. I screamed and struggled desperately, but I couldn't get rid of it until I woke up at dawn."

She didn't know what the nightmare looked like after turning into a monster, and Li Changsheng was not surprised.

Wang Lin has investigated. If anyone knows what a nightmare demon looks like after it turns into a monster, Wang Lin will definitely find out.

After calming down, Kang Wei slowly spoke of the unspeakable experience in his nightmare:

"When the nightmare is not a monster, it will torture me with all kinds of strange tricks."

"What's there?"

Li Changsheng asked.

Kang Wei was silent for a while, biting his lip and said:
"There are all kinds of props used in the boudoir, all carved from precious wood, including wooden donkeys... and wooden snakes that are put together in pieces, in all sizes."

The wooden snake should be similar to the snake in the Lu Ban lock.

Li Changsheng didn't care, but he grasped a key point:
"You said all the props are carved from wood?"

"Yes, it's all made of wood, and it's all precious wood."

Speaking of this, Kang Wei also discovered something strange.

Boudoir props and various instruments of torture for women are of all kinds and types, and made of a wide variety of materials.

Jade, copper, iron, and all kinds of strange materials are possible.

Then why are all the props in the dream made of wood? Does the nightmare demon have a special liking for wood?

"This news is important."

Li Changsheng said in surprise:

"If we can catch the nightmare demon, Mrs. Kang will have made an invaluable contribution!"

Mrs. Kang was originally ashamed to say all this, but when she saw that there was a major breakthrough in the case, she couldn't help but relax and become positive.

She said quickly, "Sir, I vaguely remember the dream demon saying: Did I carve these treasures with my own hands for you..."

She couldn't say the rest of the words, but Li Changsheng could guess them.

Most importantly, this proves that the nightmare is most likely a carpenter, or even if not a carpenter, then a woodcarver.

Just like Li Xunhuan and Bu Jingyun who like to play with wood carving.

“This clue is very useful.”

Li Changsheng was generous in his encouragement, and Mrs. Kang was no longer as reserved and ashamed as before, and told him everything she thought of, whether useful or not!
"Thank you very much, Madam. If we can catch the murderer this time, Madam will be the one who has made the greatest contribution!"

Li Changsheng looked grateful.

"Your Excellency is too kind. Helping to solve the case is what I should do. Your Excellency is also helping us catch the murderer. I should be the one thanking you!"

Kang Weiying bowed and sent Li Changsheng out.

"Madam, please stay!"

Li Changsheng did not stay and hurriedly took Lin You to find Wang Lin.

He already has a suspected target.
