When Sun Yunkun hurriedly ran over, Cao Ying had already stood up. Hearing Sun Yunkun's ominous panting and incoherent words. Cao Ying felt that her heart was leaking, and her feet were weak in front of her, so she took a step back and almost fell.

Li Xie hurriedly stepped forward to hold Cao Ying's arm, and asked this Sun Yunkun carefully: "What kind of corpse, adult or child, tell me clearly?" ”

"My lord, the corpse of my lord, killed with a knife, should be a habitual offender." Sun Yunkun gasped and replied that he really ran all the way to the cheongsam, and with his physical strength, he was really overdrawn with his physical strength to hold on until now.

"Let's go, let's take a look and see if it's the little guy in your house!" Li Xie said to Cao Ying, who had eased up.

Hearing that it was not a child's corpse, Cao Ying's heart calmed down a little, nodded, and followed the two of them out quickly.

After walking out of the gate of Xicheng and walking only half a mile, I came to the location where the body was originally located. Because it was not torture and killing, but a knife in the neck, Cao Ying recognized it at a glance, this was the little guy who followed her brother.

"Yes, it's him." After a day and a night, I finally found a clue. Cao Ying was not happy at all. When a dead person is killed, whether it is kidnapping or abduction, the person who can make a human life will not be a soft-hearted person. If his younger brother falls into the hands of such a person, what can he do?

Li Xie took a closer look and found that although this kid was killed and his neck was cut, there was not a lot of blood left on the floor. Li Xie wasn't sure if it was because the weather was too hot, the floor was dry, and it was because the little guy himself didn't shed much blood.

"Call me to come and investigate and see if this is the first scene." If this was the first scene, the murderer would have been too bold. It is only half a mile away from the gate of the West City of Luotianfu, and it can be said that the people on the gate of the West City can find it as long as they are careful when patrolling.

This can almost be said to be killing people under the noses of the soldiers at the city gate, but even so, no one has found out. This can only show that someone's person is either a means of it, extremely fast, killing with one move, and quickly hiding the entity.

Either the murderer and this little guy know each other, because they know each other, so the two can walk together very normally without attracting attention, and then the murderer is killing from behind.

But if this is not the first scene, it would be very interesting to deliberately abandon the corpse here.

When the body was found, it had already been reported to the official, and this was the area under the West Gate, so Huang Yu rushed over with his wife as soon as possible. Just by picking off his clothes and observing the corpse spots, this experienced servant quickly determined that this was not the scene of the first crime.

If this wasn't the scene of the first crime, how were people transported? For such a big person, it is unrealistic if it is a backrest. After this Xiao Si's body was transported here and discarded, there was blood left on the floor, which means that he had just been killed, and he was killed not far from here.

After killing it, it was immediately transported and thrown here, to see how coagulated the blood was. It won't be long before this little guy is left here. That is, he was discarded during the day. So what would a person who transports something so big be unobtrusive?

It can only be a carriage or an ox cart, and a carriage or an ox cart full of things, otherwise the blood of the person who has just been killed will not leave a trace on the road.

Then it was the time when a person's blood dried up, and although Li Xie didn't know the specific time, he would definitely not think about it for more than half an hour. In other words, it will not take more than half an hour to get here from the place where Xiao Si was killed. And where people can be hidden in the half-hour journey, Li Xie looked around, because he didn't move around too much in normal times, so he didn't know much about the terrain and terrain of this area.

But it doesn't matter if you don't know it, as long as someone doesn't understand it: "Brother Twenty, outside the city gate, at the speed of a horse-drawn cart or ox-cart, you can reach a place where you can hide people within half an hour's foot." Search it thoroughly. ”

Dark Twenty left quickly with his men.

Li Xie said to Sun Yunkun again: "Okay, I'm going to find someone and bring everyone back." ”

Li Xie thought about it for a while, and felt that he had nothing missing, so he turned his head and said to Cao Ying:

"Let's go, go to your house, go home and wait. Anyway, there will be news soon. ”

The deliberate abandonment of the corpses not far from the city gates could have had only one purpose, and that was to demonstrate.

Why the demonstrations?

It is nothing more than to tell the Cao family that they have the ability and courage to kill. So by now it's almost certain that this is not trafficking, this is kidnapping for ransom. Although it is not clear who the other party is, it is estimated that what kind of outlaw is? Seeing that Cao Zhixiang was too cold, so many valuable things were greedy in his heart.

If you want to say that the Cao family is not particular, you will pamper the child if you pamper the child, you have nothing to carve the gold jade into a small animal, let such a small person carry it with you to play What are you doing, I don't know if the money does not leak people's eyes.

Not to mention anything else, a small grasshopper that Cao Zhixiang took out casually was carved from gold, and it cost at least two taels of gold, one or two of gold is 100 taels of silver, and one or two taels of silver is a hundred dollars. Of course, this is only the exchange rate set by the government. In fact, due to the portability of gold and silver, the exchange rate is even higher.

In other words, just that small grasshopper is worth 20,000 yuan. Li Xie eats meat every day, and it only takes 20 yuan a month for a person, which is 200 yuan. You can also think of what kind of belongings Cao Zhixiang carries with him.

Of course, it's not good to say such things now, and Li Xie is just thinking about it in his heart. However, since it is kidnapping for ransom, then the Cao family must be contacted, otherwise who will the kidnappers extort?

When he came to Cao's house, Cao Ying's father Cao Song was also in a hurry. However, compared to Cao's mother, who has fainted, it is much better.

Regarding Li Xie's arrival, Cao Chung had no intention of entertaining, and just ignored it after being polite.

Around the end of the evening, Ah Da came with news that unless there were fish that slipped through the net, or in terms of the people found, there were only a few of the bandits with criminal records who passed by Luo Tianfu. And among these few people, none of them have the ability to commit crimes. So Ah Da can't find any clues on his side.

Li Xie didn't care, although Ah Da's organization was huge, after all, they were all people, not immortals, and it was impossible to cover all aspects, and there would definitely be fish that slipped through the net. Li Xie estimated that the person who kidnapped Cao Zhixiang this time was either the first time to commit the crime, or the so-called fish that Ah Da had slipped through the net.

It's just that seeing that this person's modus operandi is so sophisticated, it is unlikely that it is the first time he has done such a thing. So Li Xie was more inclined to say that Ah Da's people had omitted this perpetrator. In other words, that one or a group of people has not been discovered since the beginning of the crime, and no one knows that they are kidnappers or the like.

At Cao Ying's house, after a simple dinner, Li Xie stayed directly at Cao's house. Li Xie estimated that the kidnappers would definitely contact the Cao family this evening.

Because tonight is the most suitable time, the Cao family is already panicked enough, and after a while, their emotions will definitely begin to calm down slowly. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that the kidnappers will not be found, so it is not good for them to delay too long. So the best time to do this is tonight.

Sure enough, after it was completely dark that day, a sharp arrow tied to an envelope shot directly into Cao's house from the air. Perhaps in order to ensure that the people of the Cao family could see it, they shot a total of ten arrows in the small Cao family.

Unfortunately, five of them shot directly at the next person, but fortunately there were no deaths, otherwise it was just the process of transmitting the message, and it was the price of several lives.
