Chapter Eighty-Three: Murder on South Street

"Ah, my lord, I'm still young......" Lu Sheng was a little confused, Qiantang's proposal was too sudden, so that Lu Sheng couldn't react for a while, and subconsciously stood up and hurriedly refused.

"Hey, Lord Lu is too humble. Although Lord Lu has just taken office in the Criminal Division for a short time, he has cracked major cases one after another. The official is relieved of your ability to solve cases.

In addition, the official has to deal with the government affairs of the Suzhou government. You also know what the current situation is in Suzhou Prefecture, and this official really doesn't have time to track down the whereabouts of Guanyin. Since the Nanling Mansion has brought the Qin Order, can't you let the family bring it back?

In the entire Suzhou Mansion, who else but you can track down the stolen official silver? Lu Sheng, don't live up to the expectations of the imperial court!"

Qian Tang said, looking at Lu Sheng with a solemn face. Lu Sheng really couldn't refuse these words. Just after the typhoon in Suzhou Prefecture, the reconstruction plan has been completed, and now it is time to organize migrant workers to rebuild.

The prefect's yamen took officials from all over Suzhou to run around, and Lu Sheng also knew about it. At this time, the arrow is on the string, and it is really impossible to withdraw. And Lu Sheng couldn't understand that Jinling should know the situation of Suzhou Mansion, how could he let Suzhou Mansion be responsible for tracking down the stolen official silver at this time?

"Lord Lu's feat is also quite heard of in Jinling. As soon as he took office, he found out the four killers who were hiding in Suzhou, and he killed Yun Feiye, who was the most heinous crime with a sword.

I heard that just two days ago, I helped Suzhou Wulin resolve a monstrous catastrophe? Since the Qian Governor's Mansion has no time to take care of him, Lord Lu should share his worries for Shangguan!" Duan Fei's words made Lu Sheng react immediately.

Looking at Duan Fei's smiling eyes, Lu Sheng instantly understood that he was originally coming for himself.

"That'...... The subordinate officer received the order. My lord, when will the lower official leave?"

"The sooner the better, it's been almost three months since the theft of the official bank, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is. ”

"Then the next official will go and prepare ......"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Zhutou in the distance suddenly ran over with a sweaty head. When he came to the door, he looked at the more than a dozen Feiling guards with murderous faces at the door, and suddenly slowed down again.

Qian Tang looked at Cheng Zhutou's panicked appearance, and his brows couldn't help frowning, "What kind of system is it that Zhang Cheng is flustered and let General Duan see the jokes?"

"Lord Qiqi, there is a big case. Last night, 17 gold shops in Suzhou City were stolen. Cheng Zhutou said with a slightly pale face.

"Someone steals? Is the theft worth your panic? Why don't you go and arrest the robbers?"

"No, Lord Hui, this is not the work of ordinary bandits. The bandits should be masters of the rivers and lakes, and at the same time as the gold shop was stolen, five people were killed. The murderer's methods were extremely cruel, and the deaths of the five people were extremely horrific. ”

Listening to the words of the head arrest, Qian Tang's face became solemn, "Five more people have been killed? This gang of bandits is so arrogant? Has the identity of the person who was killed verified?"

"Unverifiable!"

"Can't verify, what do you mean?" Qian Tang said with a glare.

"The five victims were shaved into skeletons by the murderer, and their flesh and blood were splattered on the ground. After so many years of handling cases, my subordinates have never seen such a murderous method and such a cold-blooded killer!"

"What?" At this moment, Qiantang is not calm. The murderer's methods are so cruel, it is definitely not a simple theft case that can be characterized.

"My lord, I'd better go over with Cheng to catch the head. Lu Sheng hurriedly said.

"Okay, you go and take a look, and get the murderer to justice as soon as possible. ”

"Lord Lu, let's go with us too!" Duan Fei hurriedly stood up and said.

Under the leadership of Cheng Zhutou, Lu Sheng and others came to the blocked South Street. The blockade was located far from the scene of the crime, not only to protect the scene, but also not to cause unnecessary panic.

Outside the blockade line, it was full of people who were originally going to come to South Street to catch the market, and they were all talking and pointing at the distance at the moment. Because the distance is relatively far, the people can't see clearly, so they can only guess.

Squeezed through the crowd, Lu Sheng came to the scene of the crime. A disgusting smell of blood came to the face, and the whole scene was like a huge meat stall, with blood, minced meat, splashing to every corner of the street in the area where the crime occurred.

Blood was splattered on the walls and doors of the shops on both sides.

approached, and hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose. Lu Sheng can endure this scene, but it does not mean that he can bear it calmly. This kind of poignant picture can only be compared to the shredding of corpses and the scene of a car accident.

And the catchers who were guarding the scene, several of them had already vomited and collapsed, and they could barely stand up by holding on to the wall.

However, the Feiling guards behind him turned out to be calm, not to mention any discomfort, and their faces did not change.

"How is Lord Lu, can you hold on?" Duan Fei asked with a smile as he came behind Lu Sheng.

"General Duan is so determined, I'm fine. ”

"We people in the army, what scene have we never seen? On the real battlefield, there are more tragic than this. ”

"Dayu has been peaceful for a hundred years, has General Duan ever been on the battlefield?" Lu Sheng asked casually.

"Hahaha...... My lord, don't forget, who are we? Fei Lingwei! Dayu has been peaceful for a hundred years, and what he said is nothing more than that there are no large-scale wars, and those small frictions, you naturally do not know.

Not to mention the distance, just last month, a hundred columns invaded the border, and General Li Mu killed 3,000 enemies. Take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then kill four thousand enemies. Up and down the government and the opposition, very happy. ”

"What? Bailie is beaten up again?" Lu Sheng raised his head and asked in surprise, "Isn't there a lot of noise in the court? It is estimated that a group of old ministers are going to lead the troops to the battle, right?"

"This ...... I don't know. ”

As he spoke, Lu Sheng had already carefully examined the five corpses.

"All five were men, and the four were supposed to be in a group, walking down the street from north to south. The last one is a watch, going from south to north. The murderer was met here, and the murderer should have just finished stealing and returned with a full load, but was discovered by these five people.

The murderer immediately pulled out his blade and killed the killer, judging from the splattering of flesh and blood around them, they were all shaved to bones in an instant.

Even this ......"

Lu Sheng said, pointing to the corpse of the watchman in the distance, "When the watchman saw the scene in front of him, he turned around and ran away in fright." But when he turned around, he was also instantly shaved to bones by the murderer. The murderer was so fast that he didn't even know it. After running a step, he fell to the ground. ”

"What a fast knife ......" After listening to Lu Sheng's explanation, Cheng Zhutou's face turned even paler.

How fast is a knife that can shave people into white bones in an instant, Cheng Tou can't even imagine, "Today, can there be such a fast knife technique...... How many are there?"

"There are many people in the world who can have such fast knife skills, but there is only one person who can shave people into white bones in an instant. Duan Fei's face was full of murderous aura, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

"General Duan knows?" Lu Sheng asked in surprise.

"Human butcher, Hou Junyi!" Duan Fei's eyes were cold, and there was a chill in his tone, "Human butcher Hou Junyi was active in Qinzhou in the west in the early days, and the original butcher was a family heirloom, and the family heirloom was very sharp.

But this Hou Junyi is definitely an alternative to the Ding family. At the age of twelve, he dismembered his younger brother just to see how human flesh and bones differed from cattle and sheep.

Later, he escaped from his home, traveled to the rivers and lakes, and once served more than a dozen martial arts forces. Over the decades, he has learned a lot of martial arts. He fused these martial arts with the ancestral Ku Ding Jie Niu Knife Technique, turning it into an extremely sharp knife technique that can instantly remove human flesh and blood and leave bones.

He was arrested by us seven years ago and handed over to the capital of Jinling. But when he was about to start the operation, he managed to escape from prison. For seven years, there was no more news. Unexpectedly...... It actually appeared in Suzhou!"

"Are you sure he did it?" Lu Sheng felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he had a premonition that this case didn't seem to be so simple.

"I can't think of anyone else who is used to killing people in this way. It's not that others can't do it, but it's that people are instantly cut into skeletons, which abnormal people can do. ”

Duan Fei looked around and took a deep breath, "We have been looking for him for so many years, and we finally met him in Suzhou City. This time, Lao Tzu wants to correct the Fa on the spot!"

"General Duan, we have just taken over the case of tracking down Guan Yin. Lu Sheng asked with some hesitation.

"Although it is important to track down Guan Yin, it is not easy to find Hou Junyi's clues, and I don't know when I will have to wait until I miss him next time. And if I don't take him down, I will be unwilling to go back to Jinling.

Let's move quickly, maybe it won't be a few days. Feng Jian!"

"Subordinates are here!" replied one of the flying guards behind him.

"You immediately return to Jinling, take the portrait of Hou Junyi, explain to the little prince that Hou Junyi appeared in Suzhou, and rush back immediately when we arrest him. ”

"Yes!" Feng Jian responded, his figure flashed and jumped over the high wall, and disappeared into the continuous roof in a few leaps.

"Cheng Catcher, collect the corpses here, and then clean up the flesh and blood. Lu Sheng gave an order and left side by side with Duan Fei.

"General Duan, how much do you know about this person after dealing with Hou Junyi?"

This person can be described as two extremes, he is fierce and ruthless, and he kills people like numbness, but sometimes he is extremely righteous. He can be a killer because of a passer-by looking at him, or he can be regarded as a bosom friend because of a word from someone else.

Ten years ago, when he was down, someone gave him a steamed bun. But within this year, all those who had a feast with that man died tragically. Even his father-in-law sarcastically said to him, and then the father-in-law's family was killed.

When the man saw the tragic situation of his father-in-law's family, he was directly frightened crazy. If Hou Junyi hadn't been arrested back then, that case would have been unsolved until now. ”

"He's ...... In order to repay the favor?" Lu Sheng asked in surprise.

"Yes! Repay the favor! Directly scare the benefactor into a fool to repay the favor. The corners of Duan Fei's mouth twitched slightly.

"From this point of view, Hou Junyi is a person with a seriously distorted way of thinking, and even suffers from serious mental illness. Lu Sheng covered his forehead and smiled helplessly.

"I don't know what mental illness is, but this person really can't be inferred by common sense. Hou Junyi has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has also made friends with many sects and nine streams. This person is crazy, but cunning, but this crime, it makes me feel a little weird.

Hou Junyi has committed many crimes, and is good at burning, killing, and looting, but he has never stolen. ”
