In the past year, there have been three cases of missing girls in Xijing.

This is not a particularly special situation.

Because in ancient times, there were many traffickers, abductors, and traffickers, and there were also organized, flexible, and clever criminal gangs. The same situation happened in various parts of Great Xia, even if Emperor Taijia paid close attention to governance and strict investigation after he ascended the throne, such a thing could not be completely stopped.

Cui Tuiguan served in Xijing for three years, arrested many traffickers, and even cracked a large, cross-government trafficker gang, but failed to save all the victims.

However, the targets of human traffickers are mostly children, and older boys and girls are not easy to control, and unless there is a special reason, they will not deliberately attack.

The three cases of missing girls are all between 13 and 15 years old, and their families are neither poor nor rich, they are handsome, and they are also smart and intelligent.

Three cases a year, an average of four months, the time is too long, in addition to age, figure, physiognomy and physical characteristics are not very similar, so Cui Tuiguan did not associate them together, only thought that under special circumstances, human traffickers had premeditated targeted abduction.

But when the case of the concubine of Huaifu happened, the Huai family sent a corpse that someone deliberately did in an attempt to obfuscate the sight, and Cui Tuiguan let out a 'groan' in his heart, and looked through the desk file overnight, thinking of other possibilities.

"So now it'...... Four cases of disappearances of young girls. Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, and his eyelashes covered his eyes, "There is another corpse." ”

Cui Tuiguan's expression was solemn, "Yes." ”

"The corpse sent by Huaifu a few days ago, can anyone claim it?"

"No reads;." Cui Tuiguan shook his head, "The face of the corpse is distorted, it is difficult to identify, and I don't know why, after the corpse is delivered, it immediately decays, even with a large amount of ice cubes, it can't be stopped, when the reporter received the news and rushed to identify the corpse, the skin of the whole corpse was almost festering, and there was no way to recognize it." ”

Lu Li's fist was half clenched, knowing that it was because it had been embalmed. After such treatment, once destroyed, the decomposition process will be much faster than the corpse, this body has been deliberately soaked in water by the perpetrator, high temperature, dirty environment...... will accelerate its decomposition.

"So the body is unidentified...... If she is a missing girl who has reported the crime, then there are four disappearances, and if she is not, there are five disappearances! Shen Wansha counted his fingers and suddenly felt terrible, "She was also killed!" Isn't it just as dangerous for anyone else? ”

If you are only abducted by human traffickers, you may encounter some bad things, but people are alive, and there are always all kinds of hopes, but if people die, there is no hope!

Lu Li and Cui Tuiguan glanced at each other, their expressions were the same solemn.

Cui Tuiguan's lips pursed deeply, "The matter is accidental, and it doesn't have to be the same person who committed the crime, but once it is, then as long as this person is in Xijing, it will be a huge threat." Mr. Lu is good at solving serial cases, and I ask Mr. for help in the matter of Xijing-" Cui Tuiguan stood up and saluted Lu Li seriously and sincerely.

Lu Li hurriedly avoided it, "Your Excellency is polite - your Excellency has been a pusher for many years and has rich experience, that is, you already have a clue, and there will be clues if you track it down." I don't have any skills, I am only persistent in solving cases, and I am deeply honored if I can help adults with my meager efforts. ”

The two of them expressed their attitudes in their hearts, and the following discussion became clearer.

Lu Li asked Cui Tuiguan, "Have you checked the records at that time, how did several girls disappear?" ”

"As soon as I received the corpse of Huaifu, my heart jumped, and I thought of the possibility of a serial murderer, so I immediately called in the case file and carefully read the records at that time." Cui Tuiguan frowned, "Speaking of which, there are indeed some similarities in several disappearance cases. ”

The final place where several girls appear is different, but they all have one characteristic - lively. When the girl left home, her family couldn't find anything when she noticed it, so she was anxious to report the case, and the arresters searched along the path, and the clues stopped when they reached the most lively place. Crowded streets, bazaars, shops...... The victims all disappeared suddenly under the same environmental conditions.

"Lively ......" Shen Wansha nodded, "The Chu family held a small banquet that day, which was also very lively. ”

"Small banquet ......" Cui Tuiguan seemed to think of something, frowned and added, "Before the two disappearances, there were banquets in the neighborhood, one was to marry a family, and the other was to celebrate the birthday of the old man in the family. ”

That's the same thing.

Shen Wansha's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Li.

"There is a feast...... It's going to be mixed. Lu Li squinted, not to mention how many serious guests there were, there were a lot of people who took advantage of the opportunity.

Cui Tuiguan's eyes were even heavier, "So the suspect is very difficult to investigate." ”

"And...... In several cases, there were no eyewitnesses......" Lu Li's fingertips subconsciously tapped his knees.

"It's not that there isn't one." Cui Tuiguan's hand paused slightly, and sighed softly, "In a recent disappearance case, there was a drunk gangster who was a witness, and when the arresters asked him, he was still drunk, and said that he had seen the missing girl, but after he woke up, he didn't admit it, saying that the previous ones were all drunk, and he didn't remember seeing any girls being taken captive." ”

Liu Zhutou had an impression of this, "That person is a famous gangster in Xijing North Street, stealing chickens and dogs, robbing the elderly and children of money, knocking on the widow's door, occasionally picking up work from the Qinglou Turtle Princess, and paying the most attention to the beautiful girl, but if it is a big thing, he has not committed it, our brothers will arrest him and put him in prison for education and education when they can't see it, and they still have to let go when the day comes;." If it was a man who said that something had happened and he didn't see it, I believe it, it was a young girl with a good look, and he said that he didn't see it, and no one believed it. But no matter how much we threaten, he just doesn't say it, and we can't do anything about it. ”

"Is this person still in Xijing?"

"Yes."

Lu Li pondered for a moment, clasped his hands together, his eyebrows flashed with wisdom, as if he was thinking, "This person ...... What are your habits, preferences? Afraid of what? ”

"Eat, sleep, sleep, eat, day and night upside down, three meals without succession, what habits can you have? It's just a bastard who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard......"

……

The four of them sat in the government office for a whole afternoon, chatted a lot about the disappearance case, and also checked the relevant files at the invitation of Cui Tuiguan.

But still, there were no more clues, except for the gangster.

The summer days are long, and the days are still high when I leave the palace, but fortunately, the weather is not so hot.

The four of them chatted lightly as they walked.

"I think that gangster did it on purpose, he must have seen something, he just didn't want to tell the truth!" Shen Wansha's expression was very indignant.

Helian Yu touched the young master's head, "I think so." ”

This possibility is quite likely, Lu Li looked up at the sky, "If only I could let him speak." ”

Zhao Zhu's eyelids were slightly raised, his eyes were noble and lazy, "I can't get used to beating him." ”

"Beat him ......" Lu Li suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Shu fixedly.

"Little oak, what's wrong with you?" Shen Wansha saw Lu Li stop, and also stopped, looked at Lu Li, and then looked at Zhao Shu, who Lu Li was staring at seriously...... He picked his lips and squinted, and his expression slowly changed from a fog to full of interest.

Helian Yu also immediately saw the meaning of the two people, touched his chin, and looked at Zhao Zhu from head to toe, "Indeed...... It's a good fit. ”

Zhao Zhu was on fire when he was watched by the three people, and he only accepted the fiery gaze of his daughter-in-law! The other two stay cool and give him some space to talk about love!

He raised his eyebrows, "What's appropriate?" ”

"Scare people."

"Scare people!"

"Scare people!"

The three spoke almost in unison.

Zhao Shu had a slight instinct, his eyes narrowed, his arms naturally drooped, and he subconsciously took a defensive posture.

Shen Wansha knew that King Ping was not good, and his eyes motioned to Lu Li.

Lu Li grabbed Zhao Shu's sleeve and said slowly, "That gangster loves to bully the soft and fear the hard, he is a fierce and inward-looking, and the officials of the government are in public office, so it is not easy to be heavy-handed...... You're different. His sparkling gaze slid over Zhao Zhu's broad shoulders, strong chest muscles, and tall figure, "You can definitely scare him!" ”

Although the daughter-in-law enjoys the hot and enthusiastic gaze, the request is not to, but to be scary...... Zhao Shu was very dissatisfied, "I'm not suitable. ”

"What kidding reads;!" Shen Wansha glared at him with round eyes, "You are the most suitable!" ”

The other two nodded in unison.

Zhao Shu followed their gaze and looked down at himself.

Taller than average, because of the strong physique that has been practicing martial arts all year round, the murderous aura left by tens of thousands of people has been slaughtered......

Lu Li pinched the tendon flesh on his arm, "Ferocious, ruthless, □□ deterrent, who among the four of us has this temperament except you?" "The characters are simply tailor-made, okay!

Zhao Zhu looked at Lu Li and Shen Wansha's weak chicken-like figures, and then looked at He Lianyu, who was not as tall as him, thinner than him, took an elegant and dexterous route, and had a peach blossom face...... It seems that he is indeed the most manly.

Feeling Lu Li's small hand roaming around his arm, Zhao Shu secretly puffed up more muscles. Thinking about Lu Li's liking for strong men, he pondered for a moment, made a decision in his heart, and it was all about acting.

Gao Leng waited for Lu Li to ask for a few more words in a soft voice, and took the opportunity to pull someone to the side to steal a kiss, and Zhao Shu reluctantly agreed with an expression.

Shen Wansha let go of the hand covering his eyes and muttered to himself, "King Ping is really shameless......

Helian Yu lowered his head and blew into his ear, "The young master's fingers are so big, I can see it......"

"See, what's going on!" Shen Wansha bared his teeth at Helian Yu.

Helian Yu's peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, his fingers picked up Shen Wansha's chin, and his smile rippled, "If the young master rewards a fragrant kiss, I will keep it secret for the young master......"

Shen Wansha sneered, "You still rarely have men's kisses, don't you like to flirt with beautiful girls?" ”

"Beauty...... It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, the young master is very beautiful. Helian Yu's head lowered a few points, and his peach blossom eyes were sparkling and full of affection.

"You're pretty! Your whole family is beautiful! Shen Wansha opened Helian Yu's face with a 'snap' and wrinkled his nose, "Say whatever you want!" ”

After that, the young master turned around in a dashing manner, leaving only a light breeze.

Helian Yu missed the temperature on his face, smiled and chased after him, "Young master, don't worry, I will keep it secret for young master." ”

"You don't need to keep it a secret."

"Young master, you're welcome, I won't ask for benefits."

……

Now that it's been said, it's time to implement.

Lu Li had asked Liu Zhutou about the gangster before, knowing that the gangster was called a dog and had no fixed residence, and he especially liked to squat on the street outside a certain green building...... Anyway, it wasn't too late, and the group of four turned to that street.

Luckily, the gangster is really there. Squatting in the corner, his hands on his sleeves, and his eyes sly looked at passers-by, as if he was making some idea.

"He's there." Out of the corner of Lu Li's eyes, he motioned to Zhao Zhu: It's time for you to play.

Zhao Shu was never vague about what he promised, pinched his wrist, and walked towards the gangsters with a domineering attitude.

As soon as the gangsters saw Zhao Shu walking towards him, he looked so strong and seemed to be about to kill, and immediately turned his eyes to run. But who is Zhao Zhu, who can let him run? The long legs took two big steps, and with a long hand, he threw the gangster against the wall.

Absolute martial arts, height suppression, gangsters are not scared, he is most afraid of such people!

"Brother, there is something to say......"

This sentence offended Zhao Zhu a lot, and the big fist came up directly, and the blood flowed from the mouth of the thug, "Grandpa!" Grandpa, I was wrong, I can't speak, please don't fight......"

Zhao Shu punched again, but this time he collected some strength, there would be no internal injuries, and it would only make the gangster's painful body curl up.

"Grandpa...... The little one offended you, you just said ......"

Another punch.

"What does grandpa want to command, the little one will die...... Regardless of ......"

Zhao Shu ignored it completely, beating people with the most handsome posture, showing his strong force value and muscles, on the one hand, he wanted to fascinate Lu Li, on the other hand, he knew such a little gangster best, language scare didn't work, reasoning didn't work, he was afraid of beating him directly, he didn't dare not tell the truth.

As long as he pays attention, don't really hurt people.

The results have proven to be significant.

The thug's nose and face were swollen and moved to the corner, hearing that they wanted to ask about the missing girl, his eyes flashed. But looking at Zhao Zhu's indifferent face, and then looking at the blood on the ground, he raised his face bitterly and said.

He was indeed drunk that day, but he did see the girl taken captive. When the officials asked, they didn't say it because they were afraid of causing trouble, and the traffickers were very powerful! And after receiving a bag of silver inexplicably, he didn't dare to say anything...... Obviously, that was hush money, and he was afraid of being killed.

"Then you're not afraid to kill now?" Shen Wansha glared at him.

The gangster touched his face, and now he doesn't say that he will be killed soon, he is not stupid, he will run away after saying it!

Lu Li squatted down and asked the gangsters, "What did you see that day?" ”

"It's nothing ......" The gangster's eyes swam, and he caught a glimpse of Zhao Shu blowing his fist slowly, his heart jumped, he didn't dare to make up nonsense, and he didn't dare to hide anything, so he said it all, "I just saw that the girl looked very white and bright, and I wanted to look at it twice, but in a blink of an eye, I saw that the girl was covered by someone and brought to the carriage......"

He was so drunk that his eyes were not good, and he couldn't concentrate, and he couldn't even see the girl's appearance too clearly, let alone the person whose face was hidden behind the girl.

"You don't remember the appearance of the person who restrained the girl, the size, the age always have an impression, right? What kind of clothes did he wear? What kind of accessories are you wearing? What kind of carriage is a carriage? What color, what texture, what kind of pattern? Lu Li looked at the gangsters fixedly, and reminded in a soft voice, "If you think about it carefully, you will definitely be able to think of something." ”

The gangsters were afraid of Zhao Zhu's power, and they didn't dare to play tricks, so they had to use their death force to recall.

"It seems to be wearing a cyan gown, it should be a man, with a ...... figure I don't remember. The carriage is an ordinary oil cart, the kind that is common in ordinary people's homes and carriages, and has no characteristics...... The sun was shining brightly that day, and I was going blind, and I really didn't see much......"

"The sun is shining? Aren't you sitting at the base of the wall? No matter how strong the sunlight is, it shouldn't have much impact on you......" Lu Li paused suddenly, his pupils shrunk, "Is there something shining on your eyes?" The hairpin on the girl's body? Accessories for men? ”

"You say that...... the thug's eyes suddenly froze, "It seems like it's really ......"

He tilted his head, his eyes suddenly excited, "That man seems to have a wrench in his hand;!" Gemstones, a small boxy, especially shiny! ”

"Do you see the color, the style?"

The thug shook his head, "...... No. ”

Lu Li didn't force him, and the current situation proved that the gangsters were indeed trying to recall. He changed the question, "After taking the girl into the car, did the man say anything?" For example, where to go next, who is the coachman, can there be characteristics......"

The thug slapped his thigh, "It's really there!" I didn't see the coachman's appearance, but I remembered that the coachman was very young, because he spoke very tenderly, as if he was still a little timid, and his voice was weak, saying that he was going to Baibaolou......"

Baibao Building.

The treasure building that is about to hold a treasure appreciation meeting.

Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

Shen Wansha also opened his mouth, could it be that he still has something to do with Baibaolou?

Unfortunately, when he asked, the thugs didn't know much more.

Seeing Zhao Shu staring at him, the gangster knelt down directly in fright, "Grandpa...... The little ones know all this, and they have said it all...... Please spare the little ......"

Zhao Shu looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li said that there was really nothing to ask, so Zhao Shu kicked the thugs, "Get out." ”

As if he had been pardoned, Mari got up, and ran as fast as he could, despite the pain in his teeth.

"Baibaolou ......," Lu Li said these three words softly.

Shen Wansha smacked his tongue, "There is a problem with Baibaolou!" ”

"Not necessarily," Helian Yu flicked Shen Wansha's forehead, "Maybe it's just passing by?" ”

Shen Wansha slapped Helian Yu's hand away, disagreeing with his thoughts, "What is Baibaolou?" It's the underworld! If it was an ordinary wine shop restaurant, I didn't think there was anything, but the perpetrator kidnapped the girl and had to go to Baibaolou, how do I think it's wrong! ”

The two people over there were arguing, and Zhao Shu held Lu Li's hand here, "Go to Baibaolou to have a look?" ”

Lu Li obediently let him hold it, smiled and looked up at him, "I think so too." ”

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After Shen Wansha and He Lianyu finished arguing over there, Lu Li's ears were also a little red, and Zhao Shu spoke slowly, "Find a place to eat something first, and then go to Baibaolou." ”

Shen Wansha cheered and agreed, and took the lead to find a place to eat.

Zhao Shu squeezed Lu Li's hand, lowered his head and whispered to him, "How did I just watch?" ”

Lu Li smiled, "It's not bad." ”

"Like?"

Lu Li's clear eyes flashed slightly, and he felt that Zhao Shu at this time was very similar to Da Bai who threw him out and called the hydrangea back and begged to be touched.

If you do the right thing, you really should be praised, Lu Li smiled even more, motioned Zhao Shu to bow his head, put his hand up and rubbed it, "...... Like. ”

Zhao Zhu's heart itched, he held Lu Li's wrist, and looked left and right, they were walking in the alley where no one was around, and Shen Wansha and He Lianyu had already turned a corner in front of them...... He immediately raised his Gallic oak hands, pressed the man against the wall, and lowered his head—

"What are you doing...... Lu Li was taken aback, and subconsciously struggled hard.

"Be nice......" Zhao Shu wrapped his arms around Lu Li's body, but he didn't dare to be vigorous, the person in his arms was so small, he was afraid of hurting him, "Just kiss ......" The voice was extremely gentle.

After the kiss, Lu Li was short of breath, his face was red, he stepped on Zhao Zhu's foot fiercely, and crushed it with dead force, "How can you do this!" "In broad daylight, can you have a face!

"You said you liked it." Zhao Shu couldn't help but lean over and kiss it again, "Besides, if I help, you should give a reward." ”

Lu Li slapped it with one paw.

Zhao Zhu didn't flash at all, but happily sent the other face, "Come, if you are angry, you will beat your husband, and your husband is not afraid of pain!" ”

Lu Li: ......

In the end, should I complain about this cheap and shameless virtue, or ask the word 'husband' first!

Lu Li's lips squirmed, and he didn't know why, "Hooligans!" Shameless! This is very similar to flirting words out of the mouth, and after saying it, I regret it, and my whole face immediately turns red.

Zhao Zhu was very 'shameless' and stepped forward and kissed Lu Li again, "I like to hoop you as a husband, come on, continue-"

Lu Li clenched his fists and glared at Zhao Zhu, completely helpless.

He has lived for more than twenty years, and it is the first time he has seen such a shameless person! I don't know how to deal with it!

Zhao Shu squeezed Lu Li's little hand, and naturally pulled him forward, "There is something to do in a while, but you can't delay time." ”

Who the hell is delaying time! Lu Li couldn't shake off Zhao Shu's hand for a long time, and angrily bared out his small teeth and bit it.

Zhao Shu didn't feel pain at all, his dark eyes kept looking at him, and he was the only one in his deep eyes.

Lu Li finally lowered his head, stroked his forehead and sighed, and let Zhao Shu pull forward.

It's really ...... to like such a person

Zhao Zhubiao once again refreshed the worldview of the secret guards, and Xing Zuo almost fell off the wall stupidly, thanks to Hong You's pull.

Yuan Lian was surprised, "I've never seen such a ...... Uh, such a lively prince. ”

Hong You said twice, "The future is still long, I will get used to it." ”

……

Because of the arrangements later, this meal was eaten quickly, and Shen Wansha was especially active, the first one put down his chopsticks, and waited for the other three with bright eyes.

It wasn't until after drinking tea that Lu Li got up and said to go, Shen Wansha cheered and ran to the front, "Let's go!" ”

Xijing City is not big, and it is very fast to think of anywhere, and when the last ray of light was swallowed by the night, the four of them happened to be standing in front of the Baibao Tower.

The main entrance of Baibaolou is really more luxurious, the tall lintel, the golden signboard, the carved beams and painted columns, the light yarn man dance, has not yet entered, you can already feel the extravagant and flashy atmosphere inside.

Baibaolou, the treasure appreciation conference, is slowly opening.
