Chapter 60: The Ghost of the Mountain Villa (4)

If Yu Fenglin's face is whiter, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a white-faced scholar, but he is a black face, with a strong body, and he walks majestically, with certain steps, and he is facing the wind on Mingyue's face, and the green silk on his shoulders is flying. He laughed loudly, "When did you go back to Kaifeng, didn't you go to the Daimyo Mansion Lu Xiansi, and Qixi didn't rest, so you shouldn't be in Kaifeng." ”

Su Yun smiled, and before he could explain, Yu Fenglin glanced at Mingyue first, and said with a smile, "I must have rushed back to accompany the beautiful woman to enjoy the lanterns and see the moon." ”

"Master Hou guessed wrong, I was transferred back to Beijing, and I came here half a month ago."

Yu Fenglin asked, "Are you going back to Dali Temple or the Criminal Department?" ”

Su Yunkai said, "It's the Ministry of Rites, and I've been promoted to a waiter." ”

Yu Feng was stunned, "Ministry of Rites? How did you, a criminal prison officer who arbitrarily adjudicate cases, go to the Ministry of Rites? He was puzzled, and even chuckled, "Promoted...... I see that you have been demoted, and you still have a casual girl to celebrate Qixi Festival. Let's go, now that the saint is definitely not bed, I will take you into the palace. ”

Su Yunkai's family has been an official for many years, and he has also had dealings with the prime minister, and someone asked him about this matter just after it came out, but the saint didn't mention it, and now he can't ask the result either. What's more, this matter can be postponed, but as soon as the Chinese Valentine's Day passes, we will have to wait until next year. He also had to go to the Yuelao Temple with Mingyue and tie the red rope. But this Pingxi Marquis has a group of wives and concubines, and when he is happy, he once gave his concubines to his subordinates, how can such a person think that today is a big day.

He has a lot of distance from Yu Fenglin in his heart, and now he is even more reluctant to go with him.

Mingyue saw him wrinkling her eyebrows, knowing that he was unhappy in her heart, she reached out to hold his wrist that was grabbed by Pingxi Hou, stared at the person who was a head taller than herself, and said word by word, "Xie Hou Ye Meiyi, it's just that I made an appointment with my sisters tonight, and I want to take Master Su over to see the lanterns together, and it's almost time in a blink of an eye, and it's too late if you don't go." Hou Ye has read a lot of books, and he must know what it means to be a gentleman who is worth a thousand gold. ”

Yu Fenglin looked her up and down several times, saw her expression, thought for a moment before letting go, and said with a smile, "The girl is right, then go quickly, don't delay." ”

Mingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and dragged Su Yunkai into the crowd, for fear that he would regret chasing him.

Su Yunkai didn't expect Mingyue to be so bold, that Pingxihou has always been imposing, so she is not afraid. His right hand was tightly held by Mingyue's slender hand, passing through one crowd after another, passing through one bustling after another, and when she finally stopped, Na Pingxihou had long since disappeared.

"I almost thought he was going to eat you."

Mingyue muttered, and wiped the sweat from her smooth forehead with a sleeve on her forehead. She froze in place, barely daring to raise her eyes to look at him. Su Yunkai looked down, Mingyue's cheeks were red like rouge, and her eyes were like black beads, and she didn't dodge.

"Mingyue ......" Su Yunkai slowly withdrew his sleeves, "A little further, turn a corner and you will reach the Yuelao Temple." ”

Mingyue hung her head and intertwined her fingers, "Oh......"

"Lord Su."

Su Yunkai wanted to speak and was interrupted by others, he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he had a good temper, and when he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man with a round body like a spinning top and wearing an official uniform walking towards him, his face full of joy.

"Even if you go to the Ministry of Rites after you return to Beijing, you shouldn't forget that you were a member of the Criminal Department."

Mingyue saw that his face was gentle, a little less rough than Pingxi Houlai, and then looked at others, and there was no displeasure from Fang Cai, so he knew that his friendship with this person was not bad.

In fact, she guessed correctly, Su Yunkai said quickly, "Li Kang, the waiter of the Criminal Department, a former colleague. At the end, he added, "He's a good man." ”

The last sentence made Mingyue immediately judge the position of the station, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. Then Li Kang walked up to him with a reverse step, and said a few words of greeting, Su Yunkai asked, "I don't see a beautiful woman around, and it's not the time to let go, where is Master Li going?" ”

Li Kang's clothes were wet all over his body, and he sighed, "Where is this idle time to do these things, I am running around, busy, I just had time to take a breath, go home for a meal, and have to rush back to the criminal department." ”

Su Yunkai, who served in the Criminal Department, asked, "What's the big case?" ”

Li Kang said, "The case is not big, the day before yesterday, a rich businessman bought a house and asked someone to dig up the dry lotus in the garden, but he fished out the corpse of a woman from the mud. The female corpse has been dead for about twelve years, and her body has been eaten by the fish in the pool, and only a skeleton remains......" He paused and looked at Mingyue, "Look at what I'm talking about, I didn't see a girl standing next to Brother Su." ”

Mingyue shook her head, "I'm not afraid, you say yours, don't worry about me." ”

Li Kang thought she was polite, but it could be seen that Su Yunkai also nodded, glanced around, and stretched out his hand to invite, "Go to the noodle stall over there and talk." ”

When he arrived at the stall and sat down, Li Kangcai continued, "I know what you're thinking, you're thinking that for me in the Criminal Department, an old homicide case is not a big case, and it is true, but the reason why this case is 'big' is because the female corpse was about sixteen or seventeen years old when she was judging from the bones. But after checking, it was found that there were signs of tearing bones all over her body, especially in her thighs and pelvis. ”

Su Yunkai was stunned, "Could it be ......?"

Mingyue's face was already very bad.

Li Kang nodded, "She was violated before she was alive, and judging from the bruises between her bones, those injuries were left before her death, and it looks like she was tortured to death." It was precisely because the methods were too cruel that it was Han Shangshu's brother-in-law who bought the house, so Shangfeng was shocked and furious, and ordered us to do our best to arrest the murderer. ”

Su Yunkai pondered for a moment and said, "No wonder two days after the incident, Jingshi hasn't leaked the slightest rumor, this kind of cruel case is forbidden from being spread from above." ”

"Not really."

"So......" Su Yunkai looked at him, "You sue me to ask me to help you find a clue?" ”

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, and Li Kang didn't think to hide it from him, even if he was poked in front of him, he was a little embarrassed when he was still in this beautiful day, "Brother Su is a good hand at solving cases, and I can't help it." The house changed hands several times, and it was difficult to find the original owner, but who knew that the person used a fake name, and he couldn't find it at all. ”

Su Yunkai frowned and thought about this case, thinking about where to start. Li Kang saw it in his eyes, afraid that he would refuse, so he said in a low voice, "Actually, seriously, I don't know why you were sent to the Ministry of Rites to be a weak waiter, have you offended Pingxihou?" ”

Su Yunkai's thoughts quickly withdrew from the lotus pond in the house, and he looked up at him, "What did you say?" Could it be that it was Pingxi Hou who transferred me to the post with the Holy Minister? ”

Li Kang smiled, "I'm not sure, it's just that he came back in a hurry, and he entered the palace in a hidden way, and few people saw it." But soon after he came out, my younger brother, who was in charge of the official department, received an order to transfer you back to Beijing. Pingxi Hou has been stationed in the border fortress all the year round, why did he come back suddenly, why did he suddenly enter the palace, and why were you suddenly transferred, but even the prime minister couldn't find out who was 'kind words' for you in the ears of the saint, I think, few people can do it. ”

The more Mingyue listened, the more she felt that if it was really Pingxihou who did it, then it would be terrible for him to do something like that just now. She has been following Su Yunkai for a long time, and she will think about things more deeply, so does Pingxihou think that Su Yunkai is not wary of him and can't suspect him? But the paper couldn't hold the fire, and it was pierced in the blink of an eye.

After Su Yunkai listened, there were not too many surprises, judging from Pingxi Hou's unusually close behavior just now, it seemed reasonable to explain it with this reason now. He also understands why Li Kang wants to sue him for this, it is Shang Shu who is pressing on him, he must solve the case quickly, but people are in a hurry, and they are easy to lose their way, not to mention that Li Kang himself is not sensitive to the case.

He sued himself for this just to give him more leverage, so that he could give him a useful idea for the case of hiding corpses in the pond.

Su Yunkai said, "I can't find the real name of the person who bought the house, but I can also check the person who bought the house in the past." It costs a lot of money to buy such a big house, so you must be cautious, and it is definitely not a blind purchase. Even if ten people have bought the house, you can ask the ninth, the ninth to the eighth. ”

Li Kang was overjoyed, "Why didn't I think of it." ”

"Also, check the case of the disappearance of a young girl in the yamen twelve years ago, such a big girl is missing, someone will definitely report the case, but it is not ruled out that it is a girl from outside, so it will be difficult to investigate."

"It's okay, it's okay, explain it in one sentence, and if you find it, you will have one more clue."

"Also, let's check again if there have been any similar cases in those years."

Li Kang suddenly felt shocked, "Brother Su thinks that this is not an accident?" ”

Su Yunkai was also not sure, and groaned, "It is not excluded that there is no second case of killing a young girl in that cruel way, if they find out their commonality, the murderer will leave more clues." ”

Li Kang couldn't help but sigh, and Mingyue also felt terrifying.

Su Yunkai said again, "That's right...... If you don't think it's good to do it right now, I can nominate one. ”

Li Kang came back to his senses, "That girl you hired in the Xiansi?" ”

Mingyue blinked, it turned out that she was so famous, even the people in the criminal department knew about it, and blurted out, "Your Excellency, do you know?" ”

Li Kang said, "Where will I not know, the capital has already spread." In the court, I have heard a total of three adults leave girls to do things by their side, which one is not rumored, if I don't know Brother Su's personality, I really think that you are a fair and honest Tibetan Jiao. ”

Su Yunkai coughed violently, and Mingyue also hurriedly drank tea to relieve this embarrassment. Su Yunkai solemnized, "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future." ”

Li Kang owes some qualifications for officials, but he can see the world very clearly, these two people only made a slight move, and he understood that daring to love this girl is the legendary "Jiao". He immediately changed the subject, "I know, I don't talk nonsense anymore, and I won't allow others to say anything if they talk nonsense." But then again, you are not afraid of shadows, but I am afraid, afraid that my wife will hear about me and make trouble, she is a vinegar jar, and I can't afford to provoke her. ”

Su Yunkai had also heard about the Li family having a vinegar lady, and he didn't take the opportunity to recommend Mingyue again. He wanted to ask Li Kang when he was leaving, but Li Kang had no intention of leaving, of course he knew that today was Qixi Festival, but compared to the feelings of the little lover, he still valued the progress of his own case. I had to pretend that I didn't know, and continued to "dig treasures" from Su Yunkai.

Su Yunkai was full of helplessness, Mingyue comforted him with her eyes, the coming day is long, and there is no hurry.

It's just that Mingyue was thinking about one thing - he called his name like that just now, and said that there was a moon-old temple in front of him, this is ......

It's gone halfway through, and I don't know if there's that kind of atmosphere later.

The crescent moon hangs high, there is no wind and clouds, and the airflow is somewhat blocked, as if there are layers of air pressure from the sky, which is so hot that people sweat.

Qin Fang had already eaten the food in a food box, and he himself was about to feed the mosquitoes around him. When the moon was on the willow tops, the white water had not yet come, and he had nothing to do, so he simply lit a lamp and put it in the stream by himself, and said, "God of lights, God of lights, you will manifest your spirit and send my daughter-in-law here." ”

The small lamp flickered down the river, but the lamp god did not send the white water.
