Chapter 464: Similar Cases
"Beimen Yuan, if Xiaoxiao really died violently, then the White Spirit Sword Sect will not say a word, but the cause of Xiaoxiao's death has another hidden secret, that is, the Beimen family deliberately killed people, and Lord Lu will definitely be able to enforce the law impartially. It's not a chore anymore......"
"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"Back to Lord Lu, the White Spirit Sword Sect and the Beimen Family were originally friends, and seven years ago, Gong Xiaoxiao, a disciple of the White Spirit Sword Sect, married Beimen Wuji of the Beimen Family. Every year, Xiaoxiao will stay with Wuji at the North Gate for two days. Their relationship as husband and wife is not bad.
But suddenly, the Beimen family sent us a message that Gong Xiaoxiao suddenly contracted a vicious disease and died violently, and we hurried here. But when they asked to see Gong Xiaoxiao for the last time, they actually said that they had already settled in the ground.
What a joke, how can the customs of Chuzhou be buried within three days? Why do we have to wait for the relatives and friends who mourn to come to see before entering the ground? No matter how you say it, there is no reason not to let us see each other. ”
"Don't even let your mother's family see you?" Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, "The Beimen family has done this...... It's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?"
"This ......" Beimenyuan's face flashed, and finally turned into a dejection. He knew that once this matter was known to Lu Sheng, then everything he wanted to hide would only be in vain.
In an instant, Beimen Yuan made a decision in his heart, and bowed down again, "Lord Lu, the matter has come to this point, and the old man knows that he will definitely not be able to hide it." The old decay also said the truth, Xiaoxiao's cause of death ...... It was indeed not a violent death. ”
"Huh-" With a loud bang, Jun indifferently slapped the case, "Beimenyuan, you really have a ghost, say, how did Xiaoxiao die?"
Xiaoxiao is your apprentice, she is still my daughter-in-law, my eldest grandson, and her mother-in-law. She was killed, shouldn't I be angry or distressed? Don't you want to know what I'm looking for when I invite my friends and fellow martial artists?
Well, let me tell you, we are not looking for a treasure, but a thief who picks flowers. ”
"Flower picking thief?" Jun Moran's face suddenly changed, "You mean Xiaoxiao ...... her?"
"I swore before Xiaoxiao Ling that the flower-picking thief would not die well. But...... Can you tell the truth about this to the outside world? Do you want to let Xiaoxiao suffer the humiliation of fame and honor under Jiuquan? How will my Beimen family gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future?
We have to avenge this revenge, but we can only hide the cause of Xiaoxiao's death. ”
"I don't believe it!" Jun shouted indifferently and angrily, "Xiaoxiao is the eldest young lady of the Beimen family, which flower picker can succeed in the Beimen family?
"If it was in the Beimen family, how could such a thing happen? Xiaoxiao had been missing for three days before she was killed! We kept looking for her until the day before yesterday when we found her body dumped in Qinglan Lake. ”
"What's going on?" Lu Sheng frowned, he originally planned to come to the Beimen family to find the murderer of the black bat, but he didn't expect to run into a flower thief again. In an instant, Lu Sheng thought of those murdered brides, and Lu Sheng had an intuition that what happened to Gong Xiaoxiao might have some connection with the case he was pursuing.
"Seven days ago, Xiaoxiao went out to buy jewelry in Gangneung City, but she didn't come back in the evening. We were about to go out to look for it, when suddenly, an old friend of mine found the body of the maid who had gone out with Xiaoxiao on the way to the Beimen family and brought it back.
Only then did we know that something had happened, and we searched for three days in a row, but there was no news, and no one had seen her. But three days later, Xiaoxiao's body appeared in Qinglan Lake.
The old man has been in the rivers and lakes all his life, and he has never seen such a vicious flower thief. So...... I just invited my friends to inquire for me, and these days, although several flower thieves have been killed by us, they do not admit that they are the murderers of Xiaoxiao. ”
Saying this, Beimen Yuan's face sighed gloomily, and Beimen Wuji's face standing behind him suddenly turned pale.
"What about the corpses? I'm going to open the coffin for an autopsy. ”
"Put it in the inner courtyard!" replied in a low voice.
"Didn't you say that Xiaoxiao has already entered the ground?" Jun Moran suddenly said angrily with an ugly face.
"The murderer has not been brought to justice, and Xiaoxiao's ghost has not yet rested, how can I let her be buried in peace. Of course, she wants to comfort her spirit in heaven after finding the murderer. ”
Lu Sheng was taken into the mourning hall in the inner courtyard, where a young man and a three- or four-year-old child were guarding the mourning hall. Seeing Lu Sheng and the others coming, the young man hurriedly stood up, "Dad, they are ......"
"Unintentionally, this is Lord Lu of Xuantian Mansion. Lord Lu, this is the old and decrepit young son Beimen unintentionally, this child is the only son of Xiaoxiao and Wuji. Poor Yuan'er, she lost her mother at such a young age......"
"Yuan'er, come here, show the master!" Jun indifferently greeted the child, and Sanyuan at the north gate hesitated a little, but still walked in front of Jun indifference. Jun indifferently picked up the child, but his expression was so heavy.
Lu Sheng's eyes swept over the north gate unintentionally, this son looked dignified, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and seemed to have not dried up. However, Beimenyuan looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, and he is very old and strong.
"Everybody go out, and don't come near without my permission. Lu Sheng said, slowly coming to the side of the coffin.
"What are you going to do to your sister-in-law?" Beimen unintentionally shouted suddenly.
"Open the coffin for autopsy!" Sun You's figure flashed and blocked the north door, and Lu Sheng gently pushed open the coffin lid.
"Unintentionally, don't disturb Lord Lu's autopsy, come over to the old man. ”
Beimen had no intention of hesitating slightly, but still followed Beimen Yuan out of the mourning hall.
It wasn't until everyone had left that Lu Sheng took the body out of the coffin, and then ordered the spider to remove Gong Xiaoxiao's clothes.
"Sure enough......" Lu Sheng's eyes were cold, and his heart was already determined.
When he saw Gong Xiaoxiao's death, Lu Sheng already had a guess, if Gong Xiaoxiao was violently killed by a flower thief, there should be a painful expression on her face. But at this moment, there was a strange excited smile on the corner of Gong Xiaoxiao's mouth.
And the scars on her body are the same as those of the brides I saw before.
"My lord, look!" The spider suddenly woke up Lu Sheng and pointed to the palm print under Gong Xiaoxiao's neck.
"It's a corpse spot from a chokehold, and she was strangled to death in the process of being violently assaulted. The palm of the hand is seven inches, from which it is estimated that the man should be about seven feet tall.
Hey, how can there be an extra corner on this choke mark? Is it a corpse spot?"
"It's not a corpse spot!" Lu Sheng said with great certainty after just a glance, "This is because the murderer is wearing a wrench on his hand." The wrench is generally carried by a man from a wealthy family.
I basically only see belts on Dayu high-ranking officials and merchants, and few people in Jianghu martial arts have wrenches. ”
As he spoke, Lu Sheng took out a slender silver needle from his sleeve, and the internal force surged, and the silver needle was instantly stretched straight.
A needle pierced Gong Xiaoxiao's stomach naan, pulled out the silver needle, and sent it to the snort to sniff gently.
"Sure enough, it was the same murderer. Gong Xiaoxiao was poured a lot of aphrodisiacs during her lifetime. ”
However, there were no such pinching marks under the necks of the other seven victims...... Moreover, the other seven are all brides, but Gong Xiaoxiao is ...... Already a mother. ”
"I didn't say there was only one murderer. Now that we know that the murderers have one organization, it is clear that they cannot have only one. ”
"Look, my lord!" Sun You suddenly exclaimed.
Following Sun You's guidance, he saw dark red blood bubbling out of Gong Xiaoxiao's ears.
"The place where Gong Xiaoxiao was found was in Qinglan Lake, after being soaked in the lake, the body will be edema, and now it is normal for blood to flow from the seven orifices......"
Suddenly, Lu Sheng found that a foreign body appeared in the blood water, and Lu Sheng took out tweezers to remove the foreign body.
"What kind of fragment is this?"
The spider leaned forward and looked at it for a long time, "This looks like ...... Fragments of purple jade. However, if it was a fragment of purple jade, how could it flow out of Gong Xiaoxiao's ears?"
"The price of purple jade is high, and it can even be said that there is no market. One penny of purple jade can be exchanged for ten taels of gold. This should be that the perpetrator inadvertently damaged the purple jade when he killed Gong Xiaoxiao, and then a fragment splashed into Gong Xiaoxiao's cochlea, and now it was brought out by the blood that flowed out......
Spider, put her clothes up and re-enter the burial. ”
At the time of Lu Sheng's autopsy, there was already a lot of noise outside. Gong Xiaoxiao had this kind of thing, and the Beimen family should not have concealed the White Spirit Sword Sect. And now, the White Spirit Sword Sect, which learned the truth, was even more unrelenting.
"Isn't it ridiculous that the young lady of the dignified Beimen family was mutilated by a flower thief? Could it be that the defense of the Beimen family is already like a fictitious defense? What kind of flower thief can kidnap Xiaoxiao without knowing it, and then send the body back three days later?"
"Jun Insan, have you made enough trouble? It is precisely because it is ridiculous that we concealed this matter, but that flower thief did treat my Beimen family as nothing. Now that Lord Lu has made a move in this case, before Lord Lu finds out the matter, you will be bloody. ”
At this moment, Lu Sheng and the three of them walked out of the inner hall, and the group of people immediately stopped arguing and greeted them.
"Lord Lu, do you have a clue?"
"Lord Lu, can you find out who the murderer is?"
Looking at the two, Lu Sheng couldn't laugh or cry. If an autopsy can directly find out the murderer, then it is really ......
Suddenly, Lu Sheng's eyes froze, and his gaze fell on the right hand of Wuji at the North Gate. The thumb of the North Gate Wuji was a little peculiar, and the bone joints in the middle did not bulge to the ends.
There is only one way that can cause this, and that is to wear something that restricts its growth from an early age, that is, ...... Wrench?
"Don't be impatient, this time the official came to the North Gate to be the right person. Lu Sheng asked the subordinates of the Beimen family to bring a basin of water to wash their hands, and then returned to the guest hall to sit with the others.
"This official is here for a case. In the past month, the bride was abducted on the way to her relatives in the five state capitals of Chuzhou.
Then, three days ago, we found the bodies of the seven brides, all of whom had been violently killed, and the murderers were extremely cruel and brutal.
And I just checked Gong Xiaoxiao's body, and sure enough, it was no different from the seven murdered brides. ”
"What, sir, do you mean that it wasn't an ordinary flower thief who killed my family?"
In the case of the disappearance of the bride before, the Beimen family only heard about it and didn't pay much attention to it, but later there was such a thing in their own family, and they didn't ask anything else. But at least, he also knew that the bride's abduction was not done by one person, but by a group of people.
