Chapter Twenty-Six: The Psychopathic Killer
Seven days later, in the early morning, a mutilated female corpse appeared on Nanshi Street, which caused everyone to panic even more, and for a while the people were in a commotion and the public was in an uproar.
"Waste, what do you all eat? I didn't even catch the shadow of the murderer," Cui Xuantong scolded the county lieutenant who was in charge of catching thieves, and he didn't care about the so-called gentleman's demeanor and gentleman's majesty.
Henan County is one of the two counties under Luoyang Prefecture, the eastern capital, the county government is located in the south of the city of Yudefang, Cui Xuantong is in the county government hall and the county lieutenant, catching thieves and waiting to talk.
Cui Xuantong couldn't solve the case for a long time, and there were no clues at all, but the victims appeared one after another, which caused the capital to boil, which made him feel more stressed, and news came urging him to solve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise he would be killed.
County Lieutenant Qiu Zhonghe and Thief Hou Liu Zhi were full of shame and sweat, and looked at Cui Xuantong helplessly.
The two of them are old officials and people who know the county well, and they are the head snakes of Luoyang, and they know that this case is not the one in the county who only knows how to bully the common people, and the bad people can deal with it, but these reasons cannot be reached, so they can only be hard-headed, and the result is still useless, and they have not even found out who the murderer is.
"Lord County, according to what he said, the murderer is not an ordinary person, it is likely to be a person in the rivers and lakes, not something that we ordinary officials can catch, or should we report it to Luozhou Mansion?" Qiu Zhonghe said.
"The murderer can't be caught, and I can't even find out who doesn't blame you, I can't figure out who the deceased is, what do you want you to do, what will I report to Lord Fuzun?" Cui Xuantong said angrily.
Just kidding, seven days have passed for such a major case, and nothing has been found, even if the people in the rivers and lakes can't find the murderer, they must find out who the deceased is!
"Lord County, the two deceased seem to have a valuable status..."Qiu Zhonghe said a little hesitantly.
Regarding the true identity of the deceased, Qiu Zhonghe did some investigation, and he had some eyebrows, but he didn't dare to report it rashly now.
The two women seem to be the best girls, if it is rumored that they have suffered such a tragic encounter, the family forces behind them are estimated to be able to easily eliminate Qiu Zhonghe from the **.
"A few days ago, I heard that the second lady of Wu Ting's family, a member of the Ministry of Rites in Beicheng, was missing, and the eldest lady of Yan Yuanhao's family, the Taifu Temple, was also missing," Qiu Zhonghe said.
"Oh," Cui Xuantong frowned, stretched out his hand and twisted his beard and groaned slightly.
This is bad news, if the two deceased are really the two missing noblewomen, then it will be a big deal. Not only will the deceased's family have their reputation ruined, but he himself will also face great trouble.
These two can ascend to the high position in the court, the family power is not as good as the Cui family, and it is not a simple family, it is inevitable to take the anger on their parents, in order to calm their anger, and in order to deal with those panicked people, it is likely to let themselves bear the consequences of the incident in the end, although it really has nothing to do with themselves.
"You guys check it in detail, I'll report to Wei Fuzun, these things won't be hidden for long, if there is another case, then the crime will be big." Cui Xuantong smiled bitterly.
At the beginning of the year, Cui Xuantong frustrated many candidates, how satisfied he was when he won the position of the fifth rank of the Kyoto prefectural order, this is a climbing stone that can step on the high-level in the future, and if he works hard for a few years, he will definitely be able to get a beautiful position, and at worst, he can also get the position of assassin in the local area, maybe he can also be promoted to the position of the waiter of that department? I didn't expect such a bad thing to happen.
Beicheng Sigongfang Rite Department member Wu Tingfu.
"Second Miss went there, how did you guys take care of it?" Yan Ting said angrily to the slave beside Miss Wu Er.
"Master, the slave maid has been sleeping outside the lady's room, and when she gets up in the morning, she finds that the young lady is gone," the slave said in a low voice.
Miss Wu Er suddenly disappeared in the night, and the next day her personal servant came into the house to serve her to get up, and found that Miss Er was nowhere to be seen, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly told the master.
"Master, do you want to report to Luocheng County and let the official family find it?" Mrs. Yan was worried.
Every child is the heart and soul of their parents, Miss Wu Er has not yet left the cabinet, and Mrs. Yan loves her very much.
"No, report to the government, don't say if you can find Wan'er, even if you find this reputation, it will be ruined, how will you marry in the future?" Yan Ting said.
The efficiency of the government has always been very poor, Yan Ting doesn't believe that those officials who can only bully the people will try their best to find it, on the contrary, after the news spreads, whether they can find it or not, his daughter's reputation will be ruined, and how to marry is a problem.
"What then, poor Wan'er!" Mrs. Yan cried.
"The servant went to look for it privately, and I also asked someone to find it privately," Yan Ting said helplessly.
You can only ask people to look for it privately and see if they can find it.
Los Angeles County, Guiyifang
Beicheng Zhufang is close to the imperial city, and many high-ranking officials and eunuchs often live here.
Dressed in a tight-fitting uniform, wearing leather boots and holding a scimitar, Asli waved a knife shadow, and the ubiquitous sword light shrouded his figure like a ball of light.
"Asli, your martial arts seem to have improved compared to when you came, and it seems that there are some signs of a breakthrough in the future," said a middle-aged man dressed in Turkic clothing.
"I also feel like I'm about to break through the shackles and feel the existence of the Immortal Heaven," Asli said.
"Very good, then you will become a master in the clan, and it will not be a problem to cross the prairie in the future." Shifting Greed Khan said happily.
The strength of the Turks has been greatly inferior to before, think that at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks swept across the steppe, all the ethnic groups were subjugated under the iron hooves of the Turks, and even the regime of Middle Earth relied on the Turks to maintain their strength. But with the gradual strengthening of the Tang Dynasty, and another generation of rulers like Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was once in a hundred years, the Turks encountered the heaviest blow in history, and the Great Khan was captured alive and sent to the Tang Dynasty, which can be called a shame that has not been encountered in a hundred years.
The weakening of the Turkic strength is not only reflected in the shrinkage of the territory and the lack of population resources, but also in the fact that there are not as many masters as in the past.
Asli is a rare genius boy of the Turkic clan, he is only in his early twenties, he is already a six-grade consummation, and he is about to break through the seven-grade innate realm.
"Asli, did you do the few female corpses that appeared in Nanshi?" Mohe Dagan, the Turkic envoy to the Tang Dynasty this time, walked into the courtyard, saw Asili, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, the women of Middle-earth are indeed different, their skin is delicate, not comparable to our Turks, it is really comfortable to play," Asley's handsome face was almost evil, and a childish smile appeared on it.
"Ah Sili, our mission this time is to cooperate with the snake spirit's operation, so as to obtain information such as the military arrangements of the northern land of the Tang Dynasty, and we are not for you to wantonly kill people," Mo He Dagan said dissatisfiedly.
What Asli has done has caused a commotion in Luoyang City, and I believe that it will soon fall into the eyes of people with a heart, and if it really comes to the door, it will be greatly detrimental to the action.
"Mohe Dagan, this time I came to Middle-earth to cooperate with the clan's actions, and for me it is a practice, I don't think that killing a few Han women will sabotage our operation." Asli said.
"I don't care how many Han people you kill, the question is what do you want to do by abandoning the corpse on the street after killing, and go around to publicize that it is your masterpiece?" Mohedagan frowned.
The law of the jungle is the rule of the prairie, the strong kill the weak, and it is common for them to possess their wives and children, but this is not the prairie, and Asli is far from being a real strongman.
"After playing with them and dismembering them, I felt so happy that I was appreciating my masterpiece in my lifetime, and I naturally wanted everyone to share it," Asli said.
"You," Moheda was so angry that he was almost speechless.
"Mohe Dagan, Ah Sili is about to take the opportunity to break through the new realm of martial arts and touch the realm of immortality, this can't be blamed on him." Shifting Greed Khan said beside him.
According to the martial arts division method of Middle-earth, he is also a master of the seven grades, and he deeply sympathizes with Asli's method.
Martial arts practice to the realm of the six grades, thinking of breaking through the innate shackles, is no longer a matter of exercises, often depends on personal comprehension, this comprehension may be a personal fight, or it may be a life-and-death contest on the battlefield, or it may be a comprehension of the way of nature, or it may be a breakthrough in the mind, the comprehension of Asli is the exercise of the mind, although this is a method of lewdness to the extreme.
"Lord Mo Si carefully told me when I came, I must get that information this time, I don't want to make our efforts go to naught because of some trivial things, and no matter how important my personal cultivation is, it can't be compared to the future of my Turkic clan," Moheda said angrily.
Mohe Dagan often acted as an envoy between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and he knew very well that the gap in strength between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty could not be changed overnight, so he should seize every possible opportunity to narrow the gap between the two as much as possible and enhance the strength of the Turks. This time through the snake spirit, it is a rare opportunity to get the military arrangement information of the northern land of the Tang Dynasty, which can provide a lot of convenience for the Turkic invasion of Middle-earth in the future, so Mohe Dagan is bound to do this, and he doesn't want anyone to destroy it.
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention to it in the future, and I won't throw corpses all over the street again," Asli said disapprovingly.
