Chapter 100 Chapter 31 Visiting the Apricot Garden
That's right, this time Lin Ziyue and Mo Wengu were ordered to come to Yangzhou to try the case.
A few days ago, a tragic murder occurred in Yangzhou!
The means of this murder are extremely cruel and appalling, overnight, all five members of the Li family in Yangzhou were killed, these five people have men and women, old and young, the youngest one is just an infant baby, the poor child was born only about two months ago, and was taken away.
The five of them died in different ways, some were killed by cutting their throats, and some were killed by digging out their hearts, you can imagine how cruel and terrible this murderer should be.
If this Li family is an ordinary person, it is just a businessman who is famous in the Great Zhou, and he is an imperial businessman who has close contacts with the palace, so when the emperor heard about this case, he felt furious, and immediately ordered Lin Ziyue to go straight to Yangzhou to investigate the case thoroughly.
In fact, Mo Wengu did not tell Lin Ziyue the truth, the reason why he came with Lin Ziyue was not because "stay in the capital and have nothing to do, just come out to breathe", but because when he heard about this case, he immediately thought of Shu Qing.
Shu Qingyi has just given birth to a child, if he is not mistaken, the child should be about two months old.
Thinking of these, Mo Wengu couldn't sit firmly in the capital, so he packed his luggage overnight and rushed to Yangzhou with Lin Ziyue.
The two slept peacefully in the official post for one night, and went to Li's house together the next morning.
The corpses of the five members of the Li family have all been placed in Yizhuang, and the two of them first followed the servants to Yizhuang to check on them, and the corpses were well preserved, Rao is Lin Ziyue and Mo Wengu, two nine-foot men, couldn't help but feel palpitations and fear when they saw those scarred corpses.
It's just that there are too few clues that can be found from the corpse, so after the two went to Yizhuang, they went to Li's house again.
The inside of the Li Mansion was still in the same state as it was on the day of the crime, and there were messy blood stains and faint signs of struggle everywhere.
This case is full of suspicions, and there are still many things worth pondering, and it is not possible to solve the case in a day.
Because it is a major murder case, Lord He has already tried it, and as for the case file in Mo Wengu's hand, it was not given by Lord He, but by the Criminal Department of the capital, and it is said that there are many keys to solving the case hidden in this case file.
However, Mo Wengu hid it well, Mo said that it was someone else, and even Lin Ziyue was not allowed to watch it.
After a trip to Li's house, Lin Ziyue planned to turn back to the official post first to sort out the clues.
The sky was a little gloomy, the two walked out of the gate of the Li family side by side, Lin Ziyue took the lead in getting on the horse, but Mo Wengu was holding the reins of the horse and didn't mean to get on the horse for a long time.
Lin Ziyue saw that he was stunned, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "King Qing?" β
Mo Wengu came back to his senses, and then said: "Brother Lin, you go back to the official post first, this king suddenly remembered that there is still a place to go." β
"So mysterious?" Lin Ziyue raised her eyebrows and leaned down from her horse, "Where is King Qing going?" β
Mo Wengu smiled: "A place you don't know. β
Mo Wengu's concealment made Lin Ziyue feel more and more tired, Lin Ziyue squeezed her eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Is King Feiqing going to go to the ecstasy cave alone on his back?" β
"Brother Lin, don't think of this king as you do, this king is not that interested." Mo Wengu patted the horse's neck gently, and when he spoke, he had already turned over on the horse, and waved at Lin Ziyue in a chic manner, "Let's go." β
Lin Ziyue sighed at Mo Wengu's distant back: "Hey, it's really incomprehensible. β
He did have this intention, I heard that the Yangzhou woman was as gentle as water, and he also wanted to communicate with those sisters and sisters, but today he went to Yizhuang and went to Li's house, not to mention the blood all over his body, and he was even more stained with yin qi, which made him lose the interest in in-depth communication.
"Hey, that's it, let's go back to the official post and sleep." Lin Ziyue shook his head and sighed, and then crossed the horse and went to the official post.
Mo Wengu left the Li family and rode his horse to the outskirts of Yangzhou.
I don't know why, these days his mind will always pass the intermittent sound of the piano in the apricot orchard from time to time, and then he unintentionally remembered the mysterious apricot orchard, and decided to go and see it on a whim.
It was a great regret in his heart that he didn't see the owner of the apricot orchard before he left last time, so this time he decided to go and find out the secrets of the apricot orchard himself.
Mo Wengu was already very familiar with the terrain of Yangzhou, and after a while, he was already familiar with the apricot orchard.
As usual, the gate of the apricot orchard was still closed, and the courtyard was quiet and quiet, and there was not a single movement to be heard.
Mo Wengu tied the horse to a poplar tree, and then stepped forward, reaching out and knocking on the gate of the apricot orchard.
But no one answered in the apricot orchard.
Mo Wen frowned and continued to knock on the door for a while.
Just when he thought that the people in the apricot orchard had probably moved out, a vigilant voice came from inside the door: "Who?" β
"I am a passer-by who came here and wanted to visit Master Wu." Mo Wengu did not reveal his true identity, and said with a gentle attitude through a door.
"Master Wu?" The people inside the door seemed to be a little confused, and after a long time, there was movement again, "Our master has gone out, and he is not in the house today, so please come back on another day." β
"Where did Master Wu go? When will I be back? Mo Wengu thought for a moment and asked again.
The man inside replied, "The master has gone far away, and as for when he will come back, the master has never said it." It's better for you to leave your name, surname and address, and wait for the lord to return, and then I will tell the lord. β
The man's tone was respectful, but he never opened the door.
Mo Wengu felt more and more curious in his heartβthis family seemed to be full of wariness of the outside world, as if they only wanted to live in their own world.
But after thinking about it carefully, Mo Wengu was relieved again, presumably because there was a murder in Yangzhou recently, and the people in the city were panicked, and they turned away a stranger who suddenly visited, and there was also that.
"No need." Mo Wengu smiled, "I'll come to visit in person next time, I'm sorry." β
With that, Mo Wengu crossed his horse and left the suburbs.
Although he was curious about the people living in the apricot orchard, he had no intention of revealing his identity.
Even he felt strange to himself.
What's wrong with him? It is really not like his style to come to the door to disturb others because of a thought that flashed in his heart......
Mo Wengu smiled bitterly, left Xingyuan behind for the time being, and returned to the official post alone.
