Chapter Seventy-Five: Dumbfounded

As night fell, the cell was dark, and Liu Rushuang sat in the corner, looking out the window with a gloomy expression.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the corridor, Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan came to visit the prison, and the police officer on duty opened the cell door.

Liu Rushuang heard the prestige in the past, and when she saw the two of them, she was both surprised and delighted, "Brother Xi, how ...... Huan"

The police officer on duty looked at Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan in embarrassment, "Inspector Ying, hurry up, don't make it difficult for me." ”

Ying Xi glanced at the police officer impatiently, "Don't come with me to do this, say a few more words, what is difficult for you to do." ”

"Director Bao, he confessed......"

Ying Xi made a gesture to hit the policeman, but the police quickly shut up.

"I also learned to press me with the director of the bag." Ying Xi looked disdainful.

"Don't dare."

"Get out of the way!"

The officer obediently stepped aside, not daring to say more.

Ying Xi walked into the cell with Lu Hehuan.

Lu Hehuan looked at Liu Rushuang with a serious face, "Miss Liu, tell me what happened today." ”

Liu Rushuang nodded, "Today, Director Bao took a few police officers to my house to search, saying that they were looking for evidence of murder, and then they found some bloodstains in my room, and then they said that those bloodstains belonged to my sister, and then falsely accused me of killing my sister, and also said that I was the real murderer of the 'bloody curse' murder case." ”

Lu Hehuan frowned puzzled, "How can there be blood stains like snow in your room?" ”

Liu Rushuang slapped her forehead in annoyance, "How do I know ......" Suddenly, Liu Rushuang's eyes lit up, "I remembered......"

It was a night not long ago, Liu Rushuang was sitting in her room reading a book, and there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Here we are." Liu Rushuang walked over, opened the door and saw that it was Liu Ruxue.

Liu Rushuang looked at Liu Ruxue unceremoniously, "What are you doing?" ”

Liu Ruxue pushed Liu Rushuang away with a cold face, walked straight into the room, sat at the table, she poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip, "Did you tell your father that He Huan didn't like me?" ”

Liu Rushuang crossed her waist confidently, "I'm just telling the truth, lest my father go to the Lu family to force marriage." ”

Liu Ruxue's eyes were fierce, and she slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, the cup was broken, her hand was cut by the shards, and the blood flowed.

"You, what do you want to do?" Liu Rushuang was shocked.

"Liu Rushuang, let me tell you, if you dare to destroy the good things between me and Lu Hehuan, I won't spare you!" Liu Ruxue's voice was cold, and the blood on her hands fell under the table one by one.

Liu Rushuang stared at Liu Ruxue's bloody hand with frightened eyes, "Your hand ......"

Liu Rushuang glared at Liu Rushuang and turned to leave.

Thinking of this, Liu Rushuang looked at Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan, "Those blood stains must have been dripped on the ground by my sister that day." ”

Ying Xi scratched his head impatiently, "Then why didn't you make it clear to Director Bao earlier!" ”

"I just remembered." Liu Rushuang looked aggrieved.

Lu Hehuan looked at Liu Rushuang, "You said that Liu Ruxue threatened you because you prevented your father from proposing to my family?" ”

Liu Rushuang nodded, "You didn't see her eyes, you can kill someone!" ”

Lu Hehuan frowned puzzled, "In that case, why did Liu Ruxue elope with someone else......

Ying Xi interrupted Lu Hehuan impatiently, "Oh, now is not the time to think about why Liu Ruxue eloped, but first think about how to help Liu Rushuang get rid of her guilt." Ying Xi rubbed his beard with some concern, "With what I know about Bao Kang, in order to take credit from Gordon, he will definitely close the case as soon as possible." ”

Liu Rushuang and Lu Hehuan were both surprised.

Late at night, before Bao Kang fell asleep, he sat on the sofa in his living room and chatted with Bao Ying.

Bao Ying stood at the door of the room and looked at Bao Kang, "Brother, I think Miss Liu's case should be cautious, although Liu Yixue's bloodstains were found in her room, but these bloodstains may also be caused by accidents, after all, the two of them are sisters, and blood is thicker than water." ”

Bao Kang said bitterly, "Xiao Ying, do you think that all brothers and sisters love each other like us?" Killing each other for the sake of profit abounds, human nature is evil, you don't want to be too kind, too easy to trust people. ”

"Brother, don't think too badly of others."

"Anyway, don't ask about this case anymore, I have already reported it to Inspector General Gordon, and I will transfer Liu Rushuang to the court tomorrow."

"So fast?"

"The Inspector General is eager to avenge his niece, and he can't wait to punish the murderer immediately, of course."

Bao Ying opened her mouth hesitantly, "Brother, don't wronged a good person." ”

Bao Kang put on a confident posture, "Do you think your brother, the director, is mixed up?" My brother has investigated more cases than you have heard, and that Liu Rushuang must be a murderer, and I saw blood in her eyes. ”

Bao Ying shook her head helplessly and turned back to the room.

The cold moonlight poured into the dormitory of the police station, and Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

Ying Xi looked at Lu He Huan, "He Huan, Liu Rushuang will not kill, promise me that you must help her." ”

Lu Hehuan nodded, "I promise you, I will definitely find out the truth." ”

Ying Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Suddenly, Lu Hehuan seemed to sense something, and looked at Ying Xi thoughtfully, "Are you in love with Miss Liu?" ”

Ying Xi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I was just moved by her sincerity, since I was destined to bear her emotionally, I wanted to help her as much as possible in other things." ”

"Why do you have to bear her? Ling Yan and I are already tragic, why can't you and Miss Liu become comedies? Lu Hehuan was a little excited.

Ying Xi sighed deeply, "There are some things that are destined...... Liu Rushuang and I are destined. After he finished speaking, he turned over, turned his back to Lu He Huan, and closed his eyes.

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi's back and closed his eyes.

On Judgment Day, the courtroom was full.

Liu Rushuang stood in the defendant's dock, with two bailiffs standing beside her, and she pulled the corners of her clothes helplessly. Not far away, Bai Yulou sat in the auditorium, with a worried face. Liu Shan sat in the first row with the help of the servant, and he seemed to be getting older and older, staring at his daughter in the dock with burning eyes.

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi sat in the last row of the auditorium, and both of them were uneasy.

The judge looked around at the whole court, and finally fixed his eyes on Liu Rushuang, and said loudly, "The facts of Liu Rushuang's serial murder case are clear and the evidence is conclusive. The criminal Liu Rushuang is cruel and has an extremely bad impact on society. Now this court has pronounced the verdict and sentenced Liu Rushuang to death, and he will be executed in three days! ”

As soon as the words fell, the courtroom scene was in an uproar, and Liu Rushuang was stunned in place as if she had been nailed.

"My daughter was wronged...... Wronged ......" Liu Shan cried bitterly.

Bai Yulou stood up excitedly, "Sister Shuang didn't kill anyone, you made a mistake!" Review! Review! ”

Seeing that everyone was not satisfied with the result of the trial, the judge struck the judgment hammer hard, "Silence! Quiet! ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi glanced at each other, and it was difficult to hide the look of loss on their faces.

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi walked silently on the street, and the chatter of pedestrians came into their ears from time to time.

An old man said, "I heard that the serial murder case has been solved!" The murderer is a woman! ”

A young man couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "It's like a flower, and it's going to be executed tomorrow......"

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi glanced at each other and left quickly.

Bao Kang came out of the police office building, and saw Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi circling around Ah Hua, he was afraid that Ah Hua would be bullied, so he hurriedly ran over and scolded the two, "Ying Xi, Lu He Huan, what are you two going to do with my Ah Hua!" ”

Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan looked at Bao Kang with a smile on their faces.

Bao Kang approached and saw Ah Hua wearing a small dress, with a box of insects beside her, happily pecking at the insects.

Ying Xi flattered, "Director Bao, I know that Ah Hua loves to be beautiful, and I specially customized the most popular dress for Ah Hua in the most exclusive clothing shop in the old gate, and Ah Hua is really delicate when she wears it." ”

Lu Hehuan added, "Director Bao, I know that Ah Hua loves to eat insects, so I specially caught a hundred worms for Ah Hua to let it eat enough." ”

Bao Kang nodded with satisfaction, suddenly feeling that something was wrong, he stared at Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan suspiciously, "What do you two want to do?" ”

Ying Xi smiled flatteringly, "We just want to be nice to Ah Hua." ”

Bao Kang snorted coldly, "I see that you are weasels giving New Year's greetings to chickens." ”

Lu Hehuan looked upright, "Director Bao, we do have a request for you, but it's not that we don't have a good heart." ”

Bao Kang looked at the two of them coldly, "Liu Rushuang's matter? ”

Ying Xi nodded, "Director Bao, with my understanding of Liu Rushuang, she will definitely not kill anyone." ”

Lu Hehuan was on the side, "Director Bao, the facts of this case are unclear and the evidence is insufficient, I want to apply for continued investigation." ”

Ying Xi chimed in, "Director Bao, please give us some more time to find out the truth." ”

Bao Kang saw that the two of you pleaded for Liu Rushuang word by word, and his heart softened, "You and Liu Rushuang are friends, I know, but now that the trial results have come out, Liu Rushuang will be executed in three days, if you want to investigate, check it as soon as possible." ”

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi nodded happily.

In the middle of the night, Ying Xi was already asleep, but Lu Hehuan on the side was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and suddenly, he sat up from the bed.

Lu Hehuan sat at the table, and under the light, he took a pen and wrote down the names of Ling Yan, Mary, Song Xiaowan, Liu Rushuang, and Liu Ruxue on a blank piece of paper in turn.

Lu Hehuan bit the tip of the pen and marked the relationship between the characters. Through the faint light, he stared at the densely written white paper, and drew a line between Liu Ruxue and Ling Yan.

Suddenly, Ying Xi turned over and saw Lu Hehuan sitting at the table, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Lu Hehuan picked up the piece of paper and put it in his pocket, "Think of something, sleep." ”

Lu Hehuan said and lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Hehuan came to Ling Yan's old mansion early, he pushed open the dilapidated door and walked in.

Looking at the old house, fragmentary memories kept swirling in Lu Hehuan's mind: the female corpse stained with blood in the cheongsam, Ling Yan's ID card on the female corpse, and the deaths of Mary and Song Xiaowan......

Lu Hehuan took out the piece of paper from his pocket where the relationship between the characters was drawn before, stared at Ling Yan's name thoughtfully, and muttered, "On a foggy night, Liu Ruxue disappeared, then Ling Yan, Mary, and Song Xiaowan were killed, and then Liu Rushuang was arrested...... 'Simei Gang' bullied Ling Yan at school all year round and framed Ling Yan for murder, then the most murderous motive seems to be Ling Yan, but Ling Yan died first, and then the 'Simei Gang'......"

Suddenly, Lu Hehuan was shocked, "If Ling Yan is not dead, then ......" He paused, quickly put the paper on the table, took out a pen and drew a circle on Liu Nixue's name, "The Liu family has always thought that Liu Nixue was eloping with someone, so they are ashamed to mention it, what if she was also killed at all?" ”

Thinking of this, the faces of the two female corpses engraved with charms flashed rapidly in Lu Hehuan's mind.

The cold wind blew on his face, and Lu Hehuan's expression was grim, "The faces of each corpse are engraved with charms, and it is difficult to identify their faces...... Could it be that the murderer tried to hide people's eyes and ears and confuse the public? ”

Lu Hehuan's voice echoed in his ears, "Committing suicide on a lunar day in a lunar year, carving a spell on his face, wearing a white cheongsam, and draining dried blood - this is the long-lost Nanyang evil art 'Blood Cloth Curse'!" This is the most vicious of sorcery! Those who practice this evil art and die will keep looking for 'substitutes' in the future. ”

Lu Hehuan shook his head, "There won't be any 'bloody curse' to kill, is it all ......" he frowned painfully, "Ling Yan's appearance is too coincidental, she has been missing for many years, but she happened to appear at that time, and she happened to be seen by Feng Po, and she happened to die in this old house......"

Lu Hehuan sat on the chair dejectedly, staring at Ling Yan's bed. In a trance, Ling Yan seemed to be sitting on the bed.

Ling Yan sat on the edge of the bed, holding the embroidery in her hand, picking the needle, and showing the embroidery pattern to Lu Hehuan with a smile.

"He Huan, do you like it?"

Lu Hehuan saw that the pattern was a pair of winged birds, and nodded silently.

Ling Yan looked at Lu Hehuan affectionately, "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I am willing to be a branch in the earth." ”

Lu Hehuan couldn't help but wet his eyes, and Ling Yan's figure gradually disappeared in the eyes of tears.

"Ling Yan, I'm so miserable......" Lu Hehuan looked at Ling Yan's name on the piece of paper and clenched his fists, "Behind all this, is it really you?" ”

Lu Hehuan walked to the river with a low expression, sat on the grass, and looked at the river in a daze. He picked up a stone and threw it into the river. The stones swayed on the surface of the river, causing ripples.

The breeze was blowing, and Lu Hehuan muttered in a low voice, "Ling Yan, I don't know if I should continue to investigate......

Lu Hehuan looked at the river, and the picture of the past faintly appeared on the sparkling water......

The sky was clear, and Lu Hehuan, who was young, picked up Ling Yan and spun around on the grass. Ling Yan's skirt fluttered in the wind, and the silver bell-like laughter rippled in Lu Hehuan's ears.

Lu Hehuan put down Ling Yan and looked at her bright eyes affectionately, "Ling Yan, no matter how difficult it is and how much it costs, I will definitely marry you." ”

Ling Yan nodded, tears shining in her eyes.

Under the full spring color, Lu Hehuan hugged Ling Yan into his arms.

In the early morning of Scotland Yard, Lu Hehuan wore a police uniform and stood under the British flag with other new police officers to take the oath.

"I swear that as a police officer, I will do my duty to protect the lives and property of the people, enforce the law impartially, and practice the ...... justice."

Lu Hehuan retracted his gaze and lay on the grass, looking at the blue sky, his eyes confused and melancholy. He didn't dare to think too much, so he simply closed his eyes, but all kinds of past things still flooded into his mind like a tide.

The police badge embedded in the office building of the police station, the hammer falling heavily in the judge's hand, the policeman standing majestically in the courtroom, and the diary that reads, "Evil is spreading, so justice should be upheld......"

Thinking of this, Lu Hehuan opened his eyes violently, "Evil is spreading, so justice should be publicized...... he chewed on this sentence repeatedly, gritted his teeth, got up and rushed away.
