Chapter 264 reveals flaws.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Chang An got married, and on this day, Bao Zheng sent a group of officials to follow Hua Lang and them, disguised as guests and subordinates in Chang'an's family, so as to monitor and protect this couple.

Although the Chang family is not a big family, but Chang'an now has a reputation, the villagers in the street and relatives and friends who have not been in touch for a long time are uninvited, and on the big day, the people of the Chang family are embarrassed to blow these people away, and besides, people come with gifts, this kind of thing is even more unavoidable.

It's just that although these guests came, their expressions were a little nervous, because they had also heard about the two murders in Tianchang County, and now that Chang An is married, will there be another residual case?

If it happens, the gift they gave will be in vain.

Early in the morning, Hua Lang and the others entered Chang's house in the name of guests, wandering around the house, looking for suspicious characters, and always keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the two newcomers, so as not to be able to act in time after an accident.

The marriage ceremony went on, and nothing unusual happened along the way.

After worshipping the church, the matchmaker and the next person led the bride back to the room, probably because of the fear, the New Year's hand has been holding the groom's hand, and he is reluctant to leave, the groom saw this, patted her hand, let her rest assured, and went back to the house first, he will go later.

The bride had no choice but to go back to the house, and as soon as the bride left, Wen Meng hurriedly followed, the two newlyweds, they had to be protected.

The guests drank, and the groom saluted one by one, until the sun set, the guests gradually dispersed, and Hualang and the others were also hidden around the Chang family.

The night was getting deeper, Chang An entered the bedroom with three points of drunkenness, and his bride was sitting on the bed, but although he was a bride, after he lifted the bride's red scarf, he did not do anything impatient, he held the bride's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I have already looked for Hualang, and he said that he would protect us." ”

The bride was medium-sized, but much more graceful, the kind of woman who made people look very comfortable, and the two of them just looked at each other and waited, but there was no moment of peace in their hearts.

At midnight, the moon was covered by a dark cloud, Hua Lang and the others had been hiding outside for a long time, and they felt that their legs were sore, but there was no movement in the entire Chang family, and there was silence all around.

Seeing this, Hua Lang felt a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that the murderer knew that they would come to protect him, so he didn't show up tonight?

In any case, they must wait, otherwise they may cause irreparable faults.

Late at night, the sky is even darker, the new house is still lit, just when Chang An and the bride looked at each other, the bride suddenly screamed loudly, Chang An panicked, and hurriedly looked out, only to see a figure at the window, at this time is gradually getting smaller, he should be running away.

Seeing this situation, Chang An immediately shouted for help, Hua Lang and Wen Meng and others heard the screams and immediately rushed in, but when they rushed in, there was no one in the entire courtyard, and Chang An and the bride came out of it with a frightened face.

There was no one, let alone a murderer, but the bride and Chang An clearly saw the dark shadow, this could not be their fantasy, someone must have leaned on the window, looked in, and even wanted to rush in and kill them.

Think of what a horrible thing this is!

Seeing that Chang An and the bride were so resolute in believing that there must be someone, Hua Lang and they had no choice but to search nearby, if there was really someone, then he must not have escaped from the city, because there were guards outside, and if someone ran out, they would definitely be able to see it.

Carrying the oil lamp, Hua Lang they searched all parts of Chang's house, but they found no trace of other people, when everyone was a little dead, they found that Hua Lang was holding an oil lamp under the window and kept looking, and after the last seemed to have found something, he got up a little excitedly and said: "There are indeed people, everyone come and see!" ”

Everyone looked through the faint light, only to see Hua Lang holding a jade pendant in his hand, the jade pendant is a rich man hanging on the side of the waist used as an ornament, although Chang An is a scholar, and famous, but it is impossible to wear such a valuable jade pendant, and today's guests, few people can enter the new house nearby, because of the current situation, so Chang An married, there is no hole in the room.

So in other words, this jade pendant was left by the murderer.

There was really a murderer, everyone immediately became nervous, there was someone guarding outside, the murderer must not have left, but I don't know where he was hiding.

Either way, they must find the killer.

For this reason, at Hua Lang's suggestion, everyone lit many torches, and then searched up and down the Chang family, but when they found the sky with a white belly, they did not find any trace of the murderer.

This is a bit puzzling, how did the murderer escape, and will he come back, after all, tonight, he failed to kill Chang An and his bride.

Chang's family is not big, one courtyard, a few rooms, but they just can't find the murderer, which is really strange.

Could it be that the murderer is pretending to be a subordinate? But there are few people in the Chang family, and they are all old servants, and they have been following the Chang family for a long time, so they can't be murderers at all.

Hua Lang frowned, this is the most difficult murderer he has ever encountered, he has committed two murders, and there is no trace left, after so many days, he finally found his traces, and surrounded him, but he couldn't be found.

When they came to the outside of Chang's house, they called out those officials, they were sleepy and tired at this time, and after they came out, they moved their muscles and bones, and hurriedly ran to Hua Lang, Hua Lang looked at them and asked, "Can you see that someone has gone out of Chang's house?" ”

The official shook his head and said he hadn't seen it.

The matter was a little inexplicable, Hua Lang left two officials to continue to protect Chang'an and them, and then they hurriedly rushed to the county government to report to Bao Zheng.

entered the county government and told the events of last night, after Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce listened, they were also puzzled, how did the murderer escape?

I couldn't figure it out, Hua Lang handed the jade pendant to Bao Zheng and said: "This is a good jade pendant, it shouldn't be difficult to find the owner of the jade pendant, and the jade pendant is also engraved with a southern character, indicating that the owner of the jade pendant may be surnamed Nan, and it may also have something to do with Nan. ”

Bao Zheng took the jade pendant and looked at it, and said: "Brother Hua said that it is the duty of our county government to investigate the case, and it is troublesome there, you can rest assured, I will send someone to find the owner of the jade pendant, if you find it, I will notify you immediately." ”
