Chapter 22: The Boudoir

This inference obviously could not convince Song Shi and the others, seeing them like this, Shen Huan explained to the two: "We have all tried just now, no matter what method the murderer uses, it is impossible not to be discovered, so the only method he can use is to let Wang Ping go with him willingly!" If this is the case, then Wang Ping must be familiar with the murderer! Chances are someone close to her! Or ......"

Shen Huan couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he said this, and then continued: "Although this statement is indeed absurd, it is the only explanation! If we want to know who the murderer is, then we must first find out the identity of each deceased person in this case, as well as the interpersonal relationship between them, and see if anyone knows all these deceased people at the same time, and start an investigation from here! ”

Back at the county office, Shen Huan re-read the old files from more than ten years ago. The identities of the first few deceased in this case have long been ascertained, they are all daughters of ordinary families in the city, and what they do on weekdays is nothing special compared to other normal women. Although this seems very ordinary at first glance, one point recorded in the case file has attracted Shen Huan's attention!

These women are all unmarried, and they are of different ages, the youngest is Wang Ping, who is only seventeen years old! The oldest of the dead was twenty-eight years old! The age difference is about ten years old! In this era of common early marriage, the average age of marriage for women is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and those who are over twenty years old and have not yet married are already at the level of leftover women! And it is so rare and rare that someone who is not married by the age of twenty-eight...... Although this discovery made Shen Huan puzzled, he couldn't think of any connection between it and this case......

After reading the file for a long time, Shen Huan's eyes were a little astringent, and he couldn't help but rub it with his hands. Seeing that he was a little tired, Xing Zhutou looked at the sky and persuaded him: "Mr. Shen, the sun is about to set, you can go back and rest today, and wait for the families of the two deceased to identify the bodies, and I will inform you."

"Okay, then it's going to be a trouble for the head catcher."

Shen Huan did not insist, now that a curfew has been implemented at night, and there are also fast catchers in the yamen and night patrols organized by various security chiefs, the murderer will never come out to commit murder again, and the safety of the residents can be ensured. However, even so, Shen Huan's heart was still not at ease, and before leaving, he brought all the files back to the Li family, preparing to study and study again, and catch the murderer one day earlier, so that he could really put his heart down......

After dinner, Song Shi, who had been running around with Shen Huan for a whole day, fell asleep on the bed, in order not to disturb him, Shen Huan asked Li Cheng for a relatively secluded room and moved in, but when he arrived at the room, he was immediately dumbfounded! This is actually Li Cheng's daughter's boudoir at home!

"Uncle Li, what are you taking me here for?"

"Didn't you say you wanted a secluded room? This room is just right! Li Cheng said puzzled.

"But this is my sister's boudoir, I'm afraid it's not suitable for me to live here as a man, right?"

"It's okay, it's all family, there's nothing suitable or inappropriate! Rest assured, it's absolutely secluded! No one will bother! And we clean it a lot, and the bedding is all freshly changed, so you can live here! ”

Li Cheng's words made Shen Huan not know how to answer for a while, so he had no choice but to settle down here. As the boudoir of the eldest lady of the Li family, it is indeed very secluded, not only is it quite far away from the main street, but there is no room for people around, and even the only personal maid also followed the marriage of the eldest lady of the Li family to the capital, and quietly can only faintly hear some insects outside the window......

After Li Cheng left, Shen Huan threw all the files on the table and looked around carefully. As a woman's boudoir, it is very delicately decorated and has a special atmosphere! First of all, the tent on the bed, although very simple and low-key, but it makes people look warm! There is also the pillow that is almost a person long, and it is conceivable that the hostess of this place should have always carried it to sleep.

On the dresser, Shen Huan found a very small amount of rouge and lip red. It's the first time he's seen such a small amount of cosmetics in a rich family! He guessed that the eldest lady of the Li family should rarely wear makeup! If the average woman doesn't have absolute confidence in her appearance, or she really hates makeup, it is absolutely impossible to have only such a little bit of makeup! And judging from the faces of Li Cheng and Mrs. Li, it is very likely that the eldest lady of the Li family is the former!

In addition to that, he found something special in the room! The reason why this thing is special is because even Shen Huan himself can't figure out what this thing is for! It looks like a rope, but it's attached to the ceiling!

"Could it be that it was used to hang himself? How is this possible? ”

Shen Huan shook off his ridiculous idea and tried to pull the rope, but it didn't matter, after there was a sound of something falling outside, I saw a big net fall from the beam of the house, and suddenly detained him inside! And hang him up!

By now, Shen Huan had finally understood the purpose of this thing! It turns out that this thing is a hunting trap! But the hunt is not for wild beasts! It's people! At this time, a thousand divine beasts roared in his heart, is this eldest lady of the Li family sick? Actually put this thing in your boudoir? Is it specifically designed to protect against wolves?

Maybe it was too much movement that alarmed Li Cheng and them, and soon Li Chengcheng came here to put Shen Huan down again. Looking at Shen Huan's embarrassed appearance, Li Cheng and Mrs. Li couldn't help but laugh, "Virtuous nephew, since Xiaochen got married, I haven't seen such a scene for a long time, I didn't expect this girl to forget to dismantle this thing before leaving, so that you can ...... Hahaha!! ”

Looking at the gloating smile on the couple's faces, Shen Huan knew with his feet that Li Cheng must have known that there was such a trap in the room! It's just that he deliberately didn't say it to himself!

Thinking of this, Shen Huan couldn't help but glared at them fiercely, "Thank you, Uncle Li, for letting me experience your hospitality!" ”

"It's okay! It's okay! I'll go out first, you have a good rest! Li Cheng didn't bother to defend anything, and quickly left here with a smile.

After Li Cheng left, Shen Huan's heartbeat slowly calmed down, and when he turned his head to look at the rope, he couldn't help but start to have a preliminary guess about the eldest lady of the Li family! This is a beautiful woman with two personalities! And I like to play pranks on weekdays! Although she looks very cheerful, judging from the pillow and decoration of that person, this woman is actually an insecure little woman in her bones!

Thinking of this, Shen Huan couldn't help but pause, he came here to read the file, why did all his attention suddenly focus on this eldest lady of the Li family who he had never met?

Quickly shaking off the distractions in his heart, Shen Huan returned to the table, but just as he picked up a file and was about to read it, he saw the rope again out of the corner of his eye. Thinking of what happened just now really made him very embarrassed, but it also brought him a trace of doubt, he didn't understand why Li Cheng would bring him here! Is it just a joke to see yourself?

Time passed little by little, it was already late at night, Shen Huan rubbed his somewhat swollen temples, feeling very tired. He sorted out these case files from the beginning, and in addition to discovering that the deceased were all unmarried women, he also found another detail from them!

According to the information recorded in the case file, he found that all the dead were killed in the alleys near Zhengyang Street! Zhengyang Street is a street in Jiangyin City, almost running through the north and south of Jiangyin City! And the places where the crime was found are all concentrated in the range of these few kilometers south of Zhengyang Street!

This discovery provided Shen Huan with a piece of information, the reason why the murderer was able to disappear quickly and silently after committing the crime was probably because he was not only familiar with the situation here, but it was more likely that the murderer's residence was within this range! And that's not all! In this area, the first deceased in this case, Wang Ping's home is among them!

Being able to lock the murderer's activity area made Shen Huan's heart very happy, because it meant that he was one step closer to the murderer!

Stretching his body, Shen Huan took off his clothes and got into the quilt, after two days of investigation, his physical strength and energy were also consumed a lot, but just when he was about to rest, he smelled a very good fragrance! It's like a woman's body fragrance! Looking left and right for the place where the fragrance came from, Shen Huan was shocked to find that the fragrance actually came from the bed!

Picked up the quilt and smelled it, confirming the source of the fragrance, Shen Huan couldn't help but let out a wry smile, didn't Li Cheng say that the quilt had just been changed? How can this fragrance still survive? Could it be that the eldest lady of the Li family came back to live during the Mid-Autumn Festival not long ago?

Thinking of this, Shen Huan couldn't help but be stunned! If it was really as he thought, this quilt was once slept with the eldest lady of the Li family, then would he be considered to have indirectly shared the same bed with the eldest lady of the Li family? O man (wife)! Thinking of this, Shen Huan's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited! However, he soon threw out his ridiculous idea, just sleeping in the same bed, not sleeping in real people! What can be exciting about this?

It seems that the eldest lady of the Li family has built her bedroom too comfortably, and Shen Huan rarely had a good sleep in the Li family! This awakening made him feel refreshed! Extra spirited!

Looking at the pillow that was also held in his arms and slept all night, Shen Huan secretly said guilty, this is a pillow used by a person (wife), but now he is also held by himself and slept all night, and I don't know if this person's (wife's) husband will take a forty-meter-long knife to cut him after he knows about it......

"Man (wife)? Wife ......"

Shen Huan kept muttering these two words when he thought of this, and he suddenly realized a crucial detail that even he had overlooked!
