Chapter 59: Serial Homicide
Ruan Wushuang never thought that he would become famous because of the Ye Huo case in Bianyang City and the case in Southern Xinjiang, and he really had the intention to arrange flowers and flowers, and he had no intention of planting willows and willows.
And the county magistrate who knew that Ruan Wushuang was Su Ruan's attitude became much more polite at this time, not because of Fang Cai's tough attitude, on the way to the Yamen, even more so, the county magistrate also patted Ruan Wushuang's ass a few times from time to time.
"Come on, don't hurry up and serve tea. Fang stepped into the back hall of the yamen, and the county official said in a loud voice.
And he happened to be on Ruan Wushuang's side, with such a shout, Ruan Wushuang only felt that someone was playing a drum in his ear, and his ears were numb, so she couldn't help frowning slightly.
Dugu Liancheng on the side subconsciously glanced at Ruan Wushuang on his side, and when he saw her willow eyebrows frowning slightly, his eyes looked coldly at the county official who was too loud and unconscious, and then said coldly: "It's too noisy." β
Although Dugu Liancheng's voice is extremely shallow and light, it has an invisible penetrating power, just like this, the county official closed his mouth with a fierce spirit, and intuitively felt a cold current coming to his face, and his dodging eyes looked at Dugu Liancheng, and hurriedly glanced away.
Ruan Wushuang looked at the county official's cowardice, and felt that it was funny and funny. Also, the momentum of Dugu Liancheng is not something that ordinary people can withstand, I think that at the beginning, when she first met Dugu Liancheng, although every time she was not afraid of the sky, she was not afraid of the earth, in fact, she was pretending, God knows, when she faced Dugu Liancheng, how numb her scalp was, and her whole body was cold.
"You scared him. Ruan Wushuang leaned close to Dugu Liancheng's ear and said with a sullen smile.
"Is there one?" said Dugu Liancheng innocently.
"Nonsense, he doesn't even dare to look at you!" Ruan Wushuang rolled his eyes and said.
"I'm probably ashamed of myself!" Dugu Liancheng said lazily. Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang was speechless for a while, it was the first time she had heard someone praise herself like this, Dugu Liancheng's face was not as thick as the palace wall.
The air was silent for a moment, and the county magistrate unintentionally raised his eyes to see the interaction between the two, and in the eyes of others, they were undoubtedly grinding their ears and temples, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, thinking that this Su Gongzi actually had a habit of breaking sleeves. In broad daylight, it was ............ Seeing Ruan Wushuang looking over, the county magistrate secretly shook the thoughts in his heart, and then laughed:
"Please be seated, two sons. The magistrate made a gesture of please.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang nodded, looked at Dugu Liancheng, and sat down. Suddenly, a maid came to serve tea, and the thirsty Ruan Wushuang was about to lift the cup to drink tea, but he didn't know that Dugu Liancheng's sleeves swept over, seemingly unintentional, but in fact there was a hidden mystery, and at the moment when the sleeves swept over, a silver needle between his fingers probed into her tea at a speed that was almost invisible.
After making sure that it was safe, he quietly straightened his sleeves. This county official was still aggressive one moment, and the next second he was so flattering, he had to guard against it, and no matter what it was, as long as it was about her, he had to think about it ten thousand times.
Although his speed was extremely fast, Ruan's Wushuang could still see it, and his heart couldn't help but warm for this.
Lifting the cup and drinking the tea, he sighed and lifted the tea cup of Dugu Liancheng skillfully. I drank it to myself. Seeing her movements, he suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and his cold eyes were unconsciously dyed with a little softness.
"Young Master Su, this official has something to ask for!" The county magistrate hesitated for a long time and finally spoke, and as he spoke, he got up and took the teapot in the maid's hand and refilled a cup of tea for Ruan Wushuang.
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang first lowered his eyes and glanced at the tea in the teacup, and then the corners of his mouth pursed into a light smile of unknown meaning: "What the adults are talking about solving the case?"
On the way here, the county magistrate hinted in his words, intentionally or unintentionally, and as soon as he opened his mouth, she also guessed what he wanted to say.
"Exactly. The county magistrate said with a smile.
"I'm afraid you've found the wrong person. Without waiting for Ruan Wushuang to speak, Dugu Liancheng said casually, he didn't plan to let her get involved in this matter.
"This ......," the county magistrate sighed with a sad face.
Ruan Wushuang glanced at Dugu Liancheng with a cold and calm look in his eyes, he didn't want to care about this matter from the beginning, firstly, Yumen Pass belongs to southern Xinjiang and has nothing to do with Dayan, and secondly, this matter is tricky, not to mention, it may be extremely dangerous.
But she was indeed a little curious about who the murderer behind this was? Raising her eyebrows, she couldn't help but think of the woman she saved in the morning, the county official said that she was the daughter of the Tang family who was wiped out, and since the Tang family was destroyed, why was she safe, could it be that she was an eyewitness that night? Thinking of this, Ruan Wushuang couldn't help asking:
"Since the Tang family has been destroyed, why did the Tang family girl come from?"
Hearing this, Dugu Liancheng's expression did not change, but the bottom of his eyes fluctuated a little, he turned his eyes to Ruan Wushuang and said, "Have you thought about it?"
Ruan Wushuang was slightly stunned, his eyes met his gaze, only to see that his expression was calm, and his phoenix eyes were calm and waveless, and only she saw a little helplessness in the deepest part of his eyes, she naturally understood what he meant, not that she wanted to be good or not, but couldn't help but be curious in her heart.
"Hmm. She was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Good. Dugu Liancheng replied lightly, his voice couldn't hear a trace of emotion, if she wanted to do something, he wouldn't deliberately stop her and restrain her, not that he didn't care enough about her, but that he respected her choice, as long as he was within the scope of his protection of her, indulge her, what could he do?
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang's heart moved, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a little more imperceptible shallow soft light at the bottom of his eyes. She thought he would stop her, but the fact that he respected her choice couldn't help but warm her heart, and made her sure that she really didn't love the wrong person.
And the county official's original sad face seemed to have turned on, and the sun was shining all of a sudden, Su Gongzi asked like this, presumably he agreed to solve the case? In addition to being excited, he saw Dugu Liancheng's waveless face, and subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at Ruan Wushuang, as if he was worried that she would change her words in the next sentence.
"The night the Tang family was destroyed was the Lantern Festival, and it happened that the Tang girl slipped out of her home that day, and she escaped. The county magistrate thought anxiously in his heart, and then spoke eloquently.
"Well, what about the Luo family, but the Tang family was wiped out on the same day?" Ruan Wushuang asked thoughtfully.
"That's the problem. Speaking of this, the county magistrate sighed deeply.
"What do you say?" Ruan Wushuang asked with a brow on his face.
"Why is Yumen Pass like a dead city now, it is because after the Tang family was destroyed, only five days passed, and the Luo family was also killed by the murderer. β
Speaking of this, the county magistrate paused for a moment, and then continued: " If this is the case, you will only think that it is the murderer who committed a serial crime, at most it is panicked, when the Luo family was not poisoned, the ornaments of the head of the Luo family were found at the scene of the Tang family's crime, so it is suspected that the Luo family did it, how do you know that it is only five days, the Luo family was also killed, and a strange pattern was found at the scene of the Luo family's crime, and on the night of the Luo family's destruction, the Tang family girl went to the Luo family to ask for a statement, probably just witnessed the murderer's murder, but this Tang woman was scared stupid, couldn't ask what not to say, and often ran around at night, and said some strange things in her mouthγ β
This spread spread to the people, and it became a curse when it reached the people, so the family closed their doors, for fear that the next cursed person would be themselves. β
At the scene of the Tang family's crime, the ornaments of the head of the Luo family were found, but strange patterns were found at the scene of the Luo family's crime? Did the Tang family girl go crazy because she saw the murderer committing the murder? Ruan Wushuang frowned thoughtfully. It's just that what is the relationship between the Tang family and the Luo family, if according to what he said, the Luo family was also killed five days after the Tang family was destroyed, and according to the time of the notice he saw at the city gate, it has been more than eight days since the Luo family's case.
In this way, it seems that the murderer is a purposeful attack, so why did the murderer only attack the Tang family and the Luo family?
"What grievances does the Luo family have with the Tang family, or what is the relationship in this case?" Without waiting for Ruan Wushuang to speak, Dugu Liancheng opened his lips and asked lightly.
Hearing this, the county official was silent for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The two of them don't have any grievances, but the relationship is still very good." β
"Then it's strange, why did the murderer kill the two of them?" Ruan Wushuang was very puzzled, if there was a grudge, it could also explain why the Tang family's crime scene had the Luo family's patriarch's things, then they could also assume that it was not the Tang family daughter who deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid after killing the Luo family in order to avenge her family. But it's still not right! If the Tang girl really pretended to be crazy and stupid, she wouldn't have committed suicide! It seems that this case is really tricky.
"This is exactly what the official is puzzled about!" the county magistrate sighed, if he knew why?
Hearing this, Ruan Wushuang looked at Dugu Liancheng sideways, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, she wanted to know if Dugu Liancheng had any ideas.
"What is the strange pattern at the scene of the Luo family's crime?" Dugu Liancheng and Ruan Wushuang glanced at each other and asked.
"This, you can follow me to the scene of the Luo family's crime to have a look. β
"It's fine. Ruan Wushuang replied in a loud voice.
I heard that although the Luo family is not a rich family in Yumen Pass, it is much better than ordinary people, and the originally warm family of five is happy, but at this moment it is cold and cold, without a trace of temperature.
On the way to the scene of the Luo family's crime, there was still not a single pedestrian on the dead street, and the Luo family and the Tang family were not far away, only separated by two families, and there were also scattered families around. These houses are all adobe huts, but this Luo family still has a small courtyard surrounded by a fence.
When Fang stepped into the Luo family's house, he was greeted by an unpleasant smell of blood, mixed with a strong stench, and there were swarms of flies flying in the whole room, and the blood on the ground had dried up, showing a faint red in the darkness.
Ruan Wushuang subconsciously held his breath, frowned, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Dugu Liancheng swept away the clutter and flies flying in the room, and his eyes fell on Ruan Wushuang's body: "Take it." β
Hearing the sound, Ruan Wushuang lowered his eyes, and suddenly a warm current surged in his heart, only to see Dugu Liancheng take out a piece of white plum blossom Juanpa from his arms and hand it to her, this is the Juanpa she used to give him with shortbread, for Dugu Liancheng, she has never been polite, and the smell in this house is really unpleasant, so she raised her hand and took it.
