A day passed, and news of Caring Yu's disappearance came one after another.

Probably Mrs. Huai is very talkative in Huaifu, and Huai Deshui has no objection to her opinion and requirements, and directly implements it vigorously, so the feedback comes quickly and concretely.

On that day, the Chu family had a small banquet, and the guests were happy, except for some verbal confrontation among the female guests, nothing particularly noteworthy happened. Many people have seen the Huaiyu Huaixin sisters 'joking' and seen them sitting at different tables. After the dishes were served, the two sisters were far from continuing to 'joke', and everyone's eyes were shifted, and nothing unusual was found.

Most of them have not seen the Wharf sisters since, and the female guest who shared the table with the two sisters said that the sisters left early and never returned. According to their descriptions, Huaiyu should have left the table earlier than Huai Xin.

The female guests who are good friends with Huaiyu on weekdays said that they did not see her again after the banquet, and they never received any requests for help or requests from her......

No matter what their background is or what their status is at home, the Huai sisters can't go out alone, and they are all accompanied by maids. Huaiyu has been ruthless since she was a child, and she is not easy to serve, and the people around her will be changed every two or three years, and now most of the people who follow her have just been transferred not long ago.

The subordinates confessed that Chun'er was the only maid who followed Huaiyu at that time, but unfortunately Chun'er disappeared after that, and the Huai family thought that she and Huaiyu had encountered something evil together, until Mrs. Huai and Huai Daren sent more people to open the net to investigate carefully, and only found her in the alley outside the house.

Chun'er was caught by the master's family, and she didn't dare to do it at all, and told her what she knew, including her previous plans, 1510.

After Huaiyu entered the banquet, he didn't eat a chopstick, he just sat down for a while, and then he was going to the official room and let the personal maid Chun'er follow.

And let her follow alone.

When she lost her temper, the maids had to be absolutely obedient, otherwise the consequences would be ugly, so no one dared to speak, so Chun'er waited for Huaiyu to go to the official room alone.

When she walked to the no-man's corner, Huaiyu suddenly said that she had something to do, and asked Chun'er to wait for her in the corner, not to call people, not to talk nonsense. Chun'er didn't dare, but Huaiyu threatened her family and future prospects, she didn't dare not listen, and watched Huaiyu leave in fear. In order not to let people find out, Chun'er didn't even dare to move, and the cat didn't dare to show up in the bushes next to her, just waiting for Huaiyu to come back.

But until the sound in the garden became quieter and the sky was getting dusk, Huaiyu hadn't come back yet, she was scared, she quietly followed the Chu family in and out of the people and left, returned to Huaifu, but didn't go in, and carefully asked Huaiyu not far from the door to see if Huaiyu had returned.

In her opinion, if she loses the young lady, she will not only die herself, but also her family will die when she returns to Huaifu; If something happens to the young lady, and she does not come back, then she is still faithful to the Lord, and the family will be fine, and if the young lady comes back, or if she stumbles on something else and comes back later, then she will wait outside, and return home at the right time, and she will be fine as a person who covers up for the young lady......

It's a pity that she doesn't know what Huaiyu is doing when she takes the initiative to leave.

Huaiyu did have plans for her own family affairs, and she fell in love with Xie Qian, the youngest son of the Xie family, who had traveled from Shangjing.

Aunt Shi said that this was normal, and there was something wrong with the girl's family worrying about their future, but Mrs. Huai's words were full of contempt and sarcasm Huaiyu's whimsy.

The Xie family is a famous family in Beijing, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are clansmen as officials outside the government and the opposition. Not to mention a small portal like Huai's, even if she wants to marry the Xie family in Beijing, she has to evaluate the character of her own children, Huaiyu is a concubine, and she dares to think about the Xie family's concubine, isn't it wishful thinking?

Xie Qian, as the youngest son of the Xie family in Shangjing, has a good temperament and talent, and he is also very handsome. He came to Xijing to travel, and all the local officials and parents were overjoyed, pondering the opportunity for the juniors to form a good relationship, but everyone was a smart person, knowing that there was no hope, they all did it, and even knocked on the juniors between words, not to be rude, not to be thoughtful.

Only Huaiyu always wants to create a zào opportunity to go on his own......

Chun'er told all the things she knew one by one, and Lord Huai was very angry, in his consciousness, his daughter was indeed a little pampered and a little tempered, but hiding from the elders in the family, and not being cheeky to seek marriage by herself, it was unimaginable!

For this reason, Aunt Shi, who grew up raising Huaiyu, was punished......

Shen Wansha looked at the news letter sent by Mrs. Huai, slapped the table and laughed wildly, "Shangjing Xie's family, she also thinks about Xiao as a concubine, hahaha laughed to death young master......"

Helian Yu patted Shen Wansha on the back and fed him water.

Lu Li didn't comment on Huaiyu's thoughts, he only felt that this matter was more complicated.

"Nothing special happened on the day of the feast; In addition to being angry with Huai Xin, Huai Yu did not show more affection; I didn't ask any friends for help to leave; He took the initiative to leave the table quietly...... "Who did she go to meet?" Is it because of this person that the guide has a series of irreparable consequences?

"I see!" Shen Wansha clapped his hands, squeezed his eyebrows and looked ambiguous, "Is it Xie Qian!" Xie Qian quietly came over to participate in the small banquet and was seen by Huaiyu? Or did the girl who also took a fancy to Xie Qian want to 'talk' with her, she went to a private meeting, but she went on a business trip? ”

Lu Li shook his head, and tapped the message letter on the table with his fingertips, "The news shows that Xie Qian is in Xijing, and he is a golden pie on everyone's head, but everyone knows that he can't eat it, he has no fate, and he doesn't force it, so Huaiyu's pursuit of the road, there are no competitors, there are no blockers, she will only be seen as a joke by everyone, and no one will want to kill her or step on her." ”

"And in the list of banquets, there is no such person as Xie Qian. The difficulties faced by Huaiyu in this matter are family backgrounds and unattainable identity gaps. The maid Chun'er confessed that she had never spoken to Xie Qian until Huai Yu's disappearance, and Xie Qian himself probably didn't know about her existence, so I think it is unlikely that Huai Yu will be in danger in the matter of 'seeking a husband'. ”

"Isn't there still no clue about it?" Shen Wansha held his chin, a little worried.

Lu Li sighed helplessly, "...... We'll have to find more clues. ”

It's weird. Huaiyu now knows whether she is alive or dead, and the perpetrator almost perfectly created the illusion of her death, as if it was premeditated.

Lu Li thought about it, and subconsciously muttered lightly, "At the small banquet that day, how did the perpetrator meet Huaiyu, did Huaiyu find it himself?" Was that person a guest at a small banquet, or something else? Uniform Huaiyu needs to be taken away, Xiaoyan has many people, and it is absolutely impossible to have time and opportunity to kill, change clothes, and throw corpses...... If this person is a guest, it will be much more convenient, because the host family will not check the guest carriage, and if it is the main house, it will be more convenient...... But what about motivation? Huaiyu had very little friendship with the main family, and he didn't offend anyone at the banquet to the point that he couldn't bear it, and he had no motive......"

Lu Li's fingertips caressed the edge of the tea cup, his eyebrows flickered, and he slowly spit out the last question, "Is Huaiyu's matter really related to Xiaoyan or 'seeking a husband'?" "Could it be something else, unknown?

Shen Wansha's eyes were dazed, and he rubbed his head in annoyance, "The young master doesn't know ...... either."

"It's better to ...... Let's go to the government to see? Lu Li suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed slightly, "There are often various cases in the palace, let's go and ask, if there is a case of a young woman being killed recently......

Shen Wansha thought for a moment and slapped the table angrily, "I have to go to reads;!" Maybe it's another serial murder! Shen Wansha's eyes were scorching, and his eyebrows and eyes were smart, "If it's another serial murder case, we will only check Huai's family, it's definitely not right to pay attention to Xiaoyan, and how can we find the murderer if the direction is wrong!" ”

As soon as they said and did, the two of them immediately went their separate ways, Shen Wansha took He Lianyu to prepare for the carriage, and Lu Li went to find Zhao Zhu.

It happened that Zhao Shu came back from his errands, and saw Lu Li a little ashamed, "The middle-aged man who provoked you in the Baita Temple that day was not found." "At first, I didn't pay attention to it, but then I wanted to find it, but the person had disappeared, and there was no trace, Zhao Shu didn't treat this person as a person, but he couldn't find it, he minded very much.

Lu Li shook his head, "It's okay, as long as he doesn't come to entangle in the future, we don't need to fight him." The top priority is the case of the disappearance of the concubine of Huaifu. ”

Zhao Shu nodded, but he didn't plan to listen to Lu Li's words. He will continue to investigate, this person dares to provoke Lu Li, and after provoking, he disappears so that he can't find it, he must find out the person and teach him the truth of being a man!

Lu Li said about the discussion with Shen Wansha and the fact that he wanted to go to the government office to find out some news, "If you're okay, come together." ”

Zhao Shu nodded, we must be together! If you have something, you have to leave it and accompany your daughter-in-law!

Since he met Lu Li, Zhao Shu felt that he had been planted.

The daughter-in-law is beautiful, the craftsmanship is good, it is so attractive, he is distressed when others look at him twice, so he wants to lock his daughter-in-law in the house, he can see it alone!

Although most of them are fools and fools on the outside, there are also some good-looking people who can deceive others, although they are not as good as themselves...... But the daughter-in-law is tired of seeing him, he is greedy for freshness, what should he do if he wants to experience the world of flowers!

Even if Lu Li expressed his intentions, he was still cautious, entangled in not daring to say his identity, let alone mention the request on the side......

Zhao Zhu hung a heart, he never felt that the land of Great Xia was full of danger and life was so difficult!

……

Lu Li has a fake brand, if he doesn't interfere in official affairs, he just asks for some vague information, and the government can't refuse.

Receiving them, it was Liu Zhutou, who had a relationship with each other in the Baita Temple last time, and heard that they came for the case of the concubine of the Huai family, so he did not stop them and took them to the side hall.

After drinking a cup of tea, Lu Li asked with a light smile, "Recently, there is a case in Xijing that is similar to the murder of a young woman in Huaifu?" ”

Liu Zhutou shook his head, "In recent months, basically no young women have been killed, except for the case of Baita Temple a few days ago. But the family background of the deceased in the Baita Temple case is average, and he fell out of the Baita High Fall and died after fighting with others, and the Huaifu case ...... It doesn't seem to have much connection. ”

Different causes of death, different experiences, and only two corpses of similar age and sex are indeed not enough to determine serial homicide. Lu Li agreed with Liu Zhutou's words, but he still had a headache, could he still not find a clue?

Lu Li's thoughts fluctuated, and he didn't speak for a while, Shen Wansha looked at Liu Zhutou, "Can the Baita Temple case be solved?" After all, he still has some concerns about experiencing it personally, and the female corpse that day is really scary reads;!

Liu Zhutou's face was solemn, "Not yet." ”

"Why hasn't it broken yet?" After Shen Wansha said this, he noticed that his tone was a little wrong, and immediately waved his hand, "I don't blame anything, it's just that you just said that you found the identity of the deceased?" ”

Liu Zhutou nodded.

"Then the deceased's social relations and living habits have also been ascertained?"

Liu Zhutou nodded.

"What about in the temple?" Shen Wansha asked, "Have you asked the monks to confess?" ”

Liu Zhutou continued to nod, his face sinking like water.

Still clue? Shen Wansha was surprised. As long as the identity and social relations of the deceased are found, the people around him who have a gap with him are carefully investigated, and then all the confessions of the monks in the temple are obtained......

Seeing that Shen Wansha was curious, Helian Yu glanced at Liu Zhutou, "If you don't mind, you can tell me about the case." His peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, his voice was plain, and his posture was peaceful, but Liu Zhutou felt the extraordinary oppression, and subconsciously talked about the case.

The deceased was the daughter of a craftsman in the city, not poor or rich, and the elders had one or two rivals, except for some verbal disagreements when they met, there was nothing too excessive. As a flat-headed citizen, the deceased lived a worry-free life since he was a child, and he was more than the upper than the lower, because he was beautiful and had some heart, and he did not play with the ordinary-looking neighbors on weekdays. Because of this personality, there are big girls and little daughters-in-law in the life circle who don't like her, but they are all petty fights, and they don't kill people.

The day before the deceased's body was found, he went out from time to time to buy fat powder at the rouge shop, and never returned. The catchers followed the last line of the deceased to inquire about the news, and when the neighbors saw her go out, the proprietress of the rouge shop said that she came alone and left alone, and there was no more news.

That street was very lively, people were constantly coming and going, and the deceased Xu disappeared on that street, so it was not noticed.

As for the White Pagoda Temple, the rules in the temple are strict, if the pilgrims who come to the temple have incense, the sesame oil is recorded, the catchers checked the roster one by one, there is no abnormality, almost all the pilgrims leave before closing the tower.

The white pagoda is locked every day, all of which must be checked, and the day before the incident was a very careful and responsible monk, saying that there was no one in the tower when the lock was locked. The unlocking key was sent to the meditation room, and there was a monk on duty at night, who said that it had never been lost......

"Nothing abnormal, could it be that the dead and the murderer flew up at night?" Shen Wansha's eyes widened, the identity and social circle of the deceased were not like people who knew martial arts...... Could it be a flower thief? But the flower thief has many means, and he won't want to take the girl to a dangerous place before attacking......

Liu Zhutou also had a headache, but he couldn't find it out no matter how he checked it.

Zhao Shu sneered, "Simple." ”

"Simple?" Shen Wansha's eyes widened, how simple?

Zhao Shu ignored him and looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li glanced at him: You're amazing!

Zhao Zhu proudly threw his eyes: Isn't this a heart-to-heart with his daughter-in-law!

Lu Li looked at him lazily and knocked on the table, "Because someone lied." ”

"Lying?" Shen Wansha was surprised, "The government investigates the case, and still dares to commit perjury?" ”

Liu Zhutou's eyes were also narrowed, and his eyebrows were heavy.

"Everything is normal, there is no omission, and the result is that the deceased cannot appear in the middle of the night, but since the deceased appeared, it means that in the confession, someone has lied." Lu Li reminded Liu Zhutou, "You still have to pay attention to the monks who check when the lock is locked, and the monks who are responsible for guarding the keys at night." Since the temple rules are strict, how to get up to the tower is the most critical. ”

Zhao added, "You can carefully check the pilgrims, outsiders, and monks who have been in the temple for a short time. ”

Lu Li glanced at him and nodded, "Exactly." ”

"Thanks for the reminder!" Liu Zhutou looked a little excited, and it seemed that he did have an idea.

Lu Li waved his hand, his expression was not particularly happy, he came to Huaiyu's case today, but he still didn't get anything......

Liu Zhutou suddenly remembered something, "There are no cases of the death of young women, there seem to be several cases of disappearance, but I don't know if there is a connection......

Lu Li's eyes flashed, Huai Yu was indeed missing!

"It's related!" He stood up directly, "What disappearances have happened here?" ”

Liu Zhutou was a little embarrassed, "I didn't handle that case, so I don't know much, but Lord Tuguan is here today, and I can introduce a few people." ”

"Lord Tuiguan?"

“…… Well. Liu Zhutou's face was a little worried, "Lord Tuiguan is selfless, and he has never liked outsiders to ask about the case, because you are related to the female corpse of Baita Temple, I dare to talk about this case in detail, and change the case next to it, such as this missing case, even if I know, I dare not say it." So ......"

"So the magistrate is likely to reject us, isn't it?" Lu Li's eyes narrowed.

Liu Zhutou's tone was slightly deep, "Yes." ”

Shen Wansha looked at Liu Zhutou, looked at Lu Li, and then looked at Zhao Zhu, suddenly his eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth raised, and he rolled his sleeves proudly, "Give it to the young master!" ”

Lu Lihu was suspicious, "Do you know how to ......"

"I know, you don't worry, once you are born and twice cooked, the young master will not let you down!" Shen Wansha leaned affectionately on Lu Li's shoulder, with a mysterious smile in his eyes.

Lu Li's intuition seemed to be a little unreliable, but Shen Wansha was so positive...... He still won't crack down, and he really can't find a way to remedy it for a while.

Who knew that the result was exactly what he expected...... Uncontrolled things happened.

After Liu Zhutou's confession, several people were welcomed to the main hall to wait, and as soon as the official came, Liu Zhutou saluted strictly, introduced Lu Li and the four people, and carefully explained the reason.

The official surname is Cui, with a square face and rigid eyebrows, but in the year of his establishment, his eyebrows have the word 'Chuan', and there are deep furrows between his nose and lips, which shows that he is a very strict person. After listening to Liu Zhutou's words, he frowned, "Want to ask about the disappearance case?" The expression clearly disagreed.

It's exactly what you imagined.

Before Lu Li could salute and make a noise, he saw Shen Wan jumping out and jumping in front of the pusher.

The young master rolled up his sleeves and crossed his waist and raised his chin to point at Lu Li, full of momentum, "Do you know who this is!" ”

Cui Tuiguan's eyebrows were tighter, "Should I know?" ”

When Lu Li heard this, his heart tightened, and he felt that it was going to be bad, so he stepped forward quickly, but before he could come over, Shen Wansha had already laughed three times, "King Ping, you must know, this is the baby heart and liver of Prince Ping......"

Lu Li's forehead jumped, wrapped his arms around Shen Wansha's shoulders, covered his mouth, and smiled stiffly at Cui Tuiguan, "He's joking, there are a lot of adults, don't be like young people." ”

Shen Wansha struggled to pull Lu Li's hand away, "Where am I kidding, you are King Ping's unmarried-"

Lu Li tightly covered Shen Wansha's mouth, gritted his teeth and whispered in his ear, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Young master, how can you talk nonsense—"

Shen Wansha doesn't know martial arts, but Lu Li is also a thin man with no hands on his hands, neither of the two of them can hold anyone down, Lu Li wants to kneel for the young master: please don't pull the hind legs! You're completely doing a disservice, don't you see Cui Tuiguan's face is black!

Shen Wansha didn't think it was wrong at all, in fact, as a gentleman in Shangjing, he was really good at using this way to oppress people, and if he caused trouble in Shangjing, it would be useful to release his fame! In his consciousness, there is no such thing as being absolutely iron-faced and selfless, and a person who doesn't buy anyone's face really has that, and he can't be an official.

And King Ping himself is here, and he has the fastest effect of overwhelming people, why not? You see that the corners of King Ping's mouth are almost to the root of his ears, like a big fool, all of them are in Beijing, no, it is estimated that no one in the entire Great Xia can see this picture, and it is really the most powerful young master!

So Shen Wansha struggled desperately.

"King Ping's Heart, Liver and Flesh ......"

"No one can afford to mess with ......"

Lu Li angrily pinched Lu Li's waist, "Again, Hu, say, I, but, really, angry, angry!" ”

Shen Wansha just did it.

But he was still unhappy, glaring at Zhao Zhu with a puffed face, as if to say, this prince is really incapable, and he can't even take it against his own princess!

Zhao Zhu raised his eyebrows, and was about to think about whether to break the net in one go, so he simply said his identity, and saw Lu Li take out the document printed with the private seal of Yin Chixiu of Jingzhao Mansion from his arms, "I am a servant, and I have helped Lord Yin Chi of Jingzhao Mansion solve a big case, if Lord Cui doesn't mind, I want to know about the disappearance case in Xijing Mansion." ”

Zhao Shu was stunned, when did Lu Li have this? How did he not know?

On the day of Yin's banquet in Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Li seemed to have a good conversation with Chi Xiu, but Chi Xiu was old, had a wife and children, so he didn't think much about it...... Could it be that the old man also dared to covet Lu Li!

Zhao Shu stared at the paperwork in Lu Li's hand, full of murderous aura.

As soon as Cui Tuiguan looked at the paperwork, his face immediately changed, "It turns out that you are Lu Li." His expression was still very strict, but the distance between his eyebrows and eyes was immediately reduced, and he had a bit of gentleness.

Lu Li was puzzled, so Cui Tuiguan explained slowly. It turned out that he and Chi Xiu were fellow villagers, Chi Xiu was quite concerned about him, and sometimes carried out cooperation, the two were very close, and they often exchanged letters, and he trusted Chi Xiu very much. Chi Xiuxin once mentioned a very powerful man, and he also lamented that he didn't have a chance to meet......

"Master Chi admires you a lot, and I also hope to have the opportunity to meet you, but I didn't expect you to come to Xijing." Cui Tuiguan immediately invited a few people to sit down and handed over the tea to the officials.

Zhao Zhu was very dissatisfied, why didn't he give him a chance!

Things suddenly became smooth, and Zhao Zhu, the prince of Ping, held the tea cup, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know whether to be happy or regretful.
