Chapter 223: Don't scare the children
"My lord, we have found a clue!" When Lu Sheng was in a deep shock, Feng Jian came to Lu Sheng's study and said.
"What clues?"
"My lord, before Wormwood Sheng said that Fang Dapeng revealed that he had found his daughter. So the subordinates inquired around, and later found an insider in the vegetable market. It was an old woman selling vegetables, and she happened to see the scene of Li meeting her missing daughter. ”
"Oh, where are the people?"
"Brought it and waited in the hall. ”
Lu Sheng hurriedly took the two of them out of the study and arrived in the hall, where a hesitant old lady was standing. He wears a dark blue coarse cloth shirt, and even if it is a short shirt, it has colorful patches sewn on it.
The people of this era are living a very hard life, and many families will not have a new dress for a few years, and even all the clothes are patched one by one.
Even though the old lady knew that she was called over just to testify, the old lady's expression looked so uneasy, standing in the hall, everything she saw made her so helpless.
Lu Sheng and the three came out in official robes, and the old lady was immediately frightened when she saw it, and she wanted to kneel down in a panic. Lu Sheng held the old lady and gently sent the old lady to the chair to sit down.
"Old man don't need to be nervous, I heard that you met the Li family and her daughter?"
"Yes, yes, this lord, that was about seven days ago......" The old lady looked at Lu Sheng's smile very kindly, but she was no longer nervous.
"At that time, it was the morning market, and I was selling vegetables in the vegetable market, and the Li family also carried a load of vegetables to the market to sell, right next to me. Lee and I know each other well, and sometimes we talk.
That morning, a girl came to the vegetable market, and she looked exactly like Li's eldest daughter, that is, whiter than Li's eldest daughter, and looked quiet, like a young lady from a big family.
When the old woman saw it first, she originally thought that she was the eldest daughter of the Li family, who came to buy vegetables. But the girl walked past our stall and didn't even say hello.
At that time, Li was lowering his head to pick up vegetable leaves, but he didn't see it. I was not happy at the time, I also watched the eldest daughter of this house grow up, I am usually very polite, why did I not even say hello when I saw my mother this time?
The old woman pushed Li and asked her, are you in conflict with your daughter. The old woman was not happy, and said that your daughter saw you as if she didn't see you.
At that time, Li also laughed at me, saying that her daughter went out with her son-in-law yesterday to buy goods and was not at home. The old woman pointed to the girl and called her name.
But the girl didn't hear it until the old woman called many times, and the girl turned around, and was very polite, nodding and asking me if I was calling her?
It was the Li family next to him, and the whole person was stunned. How could she not recognize the appearance of her daughter? The old woman felt exactly the same, and the Li family also felt exactly the same. However, Li recognized it at first sight, it was not her eldest daughter.
Li was crazy and called the girl Xinxin, but the girl was at a loss. In the end, he also said that Li recognized the wrong person...... The girl's tutor is very good, and she can't stop nodding her head when she speaks, as if she was taught by a big family.
Li cried and said how could he mistake his child, and he didn't let go of the girl's hand. Later, there were more and more people, and the girl was not happy. Li led the girl away, and the old woman didn't know where to talk.
It took a while for Lee to return. The old woman asked him if he was his daughter? Li smiled as if he was happy, but said no. ”
Hearing this, Lu Sheng's brows furrowed, "Say no?"
"Yes, the old woman was still strange at the time, what was written on her face was that she smiled so happily, but she didn't admit it in her mouth...... But this is someone's family matter, and the old woman doesn't like to talk about people's shortcomings, so she didn't ask. ”
Lu Sheng frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, recalling the old lady's words, suddenly, Lu Sheng paused, bowed to the old woman and said, "Yes, you recognize the wrong person......
This action frightened the old woman and almost slipped off the chair.
"Old lady, did the girl bend down and say it like this when she spoke?"
"Yes, yes, yes, oh, sir, you're scared me to death, yes, sir, you've learned a lot. That's it, and he keeps bowing and talking like this, which is very polite, but it looks weird. The voice is also soft and sweet...... It's like someone who has a college question. ”
"Okay, I understand, Feng Jian, let the old lady go back. ”
Until the old lady was sent away by Xuan Tianwei, Lu Sheng's face suddenly became gloomy, "Sure enough, it's a widow!"
"What kind of widows? Your Excellency is saying that the daughter that Li saw that day was a widow?"
"Yes, you have all seen my movements? Which young lady have you ever seen to salute like this? Men bow, women squat, this is the etiquette of my Shenzhou.
And who would bow like this unless a man made a memorial service? Even when he met a nobleman, he would put his hands in fists in front of his chest. This is also why, Mrs. Li obviously found her daughter but didn't want to admit it. The family was tight-lipped and no one knew.
Because his daughter has become a widow!"
"In this way, the death of Fang Dapeng's family was the third person present in order to extinguish the mouth...... Is that the daughter of the Li family's disappearance?"
"No!" Lu Sheng shook his head affirmatively, "If it is the daughter of the Li family, then the Li family and her eldest daughter will not eat in the room." They are all blood relatives, how can they abide by the custom of women not serving at the table? It was definitely a man who ate at Fang's house that night.
Moreover, this man must be entertained by the Fang family, I guess that the identity of that man may have come as Fang Xin's adoptive father. This can be said to make sense, why an ordinary family will be wiped out by the Japanese invaders. ”
"But...... What was the motive of the Japanese Invaders?" Lu Jian asked hesitantly, "Even if Fang Xin was not buried at the bottom of the sea back then, he was later rescued by the Japanese Invaders. But there's no need to kill people, right? Killing people must be hiding some secret. ”
"That's where we need to track it down. Lu Sheng sighed softly, "I looked at the case of the disappearance of children fifteen years ago, and the mysteries were hurried and there were many doubts. The so-called 5,000 children are probably not buried at the bottom of the sea, and burying them at the bottom of the sea is their plan to get rid of their golden cicadas.
Most likely, none of those children died. Now I suspect that the mastermind behind the disappearance of the human being should be the Japanese Koukou. As for the people of the Seven Great Teeth, they are purely substitutes for the dead ghosts.
If Fang Xin's identity appears and attracts attention, then the case of that year is likely to be overturned again. If you think about it in this way, it makes sense for the Japanese to kill people and kill people. ”
"That'...... My lord, what are we going to do next?"
"We're new to the city and don't have a lot of clues. The behavior of these widows made me feel confused. Since there is such a clue, we might as well look it up.
Feng Jian, Lu Jian, you go and ask around, the more detailed the matter related to the disappearance of children and the Seven Great Tooth Shops, the better. ”
"My lord, this case seems to be an old case, shall we turn it over like this? Besides, how did Fang Xin become a widow This matter does not seem to have anything to do with our mission. It's not our business to destroy the Wokos, we just need to investigate the origin and whereabouts of the Starstriped Divine Soldier......"
Under Lu Sheng's eyes, Feng Jian's voice became lower and lower.
"There is no trace of the Starstriped Divine Soldier on the bright surface, but the production and transportation of the Starstriped Divine Soldier are not a silent and moisturizing thing. Under the calm and stable sun, there must be an intricate dark web.
To enter this dark world, one must lift a corner of the dark world and follow the entrance to enter. The people who were able to do such a big case back then were by no means ordinary people, and what we didn't know, some people might know. ”
"Understood!" Feng Jian responded very taughtly, turned around and left side by side with Lu Jian.
Maybe the events of that year caused too much psychological damage to people, or maybe the government deliberately forbade people's speech, so that many people were reluctant to mention the case back then. As a result, Lu Jian and Feng Jian inquired for two days, and the information they received was pitiful.
Fortunately, Lu Sheng found a clue that could be traced from the case file back then. The guy who denounced the Seven Great Tooth Stores was named Lai Chuntao, and under his high hair, the government was able to directly find the evidence of the Seven Great Tooth Stores abducting and selling children.
At that time, those five ships claimed to be cloth dyeing products that were foreign trade overseas. Because of his meritorious report, Lai Chuntao not only did not get involved in this case, but received a huge reward of 10,000 taels.
After the extermination of the Seven Great Dental Shops, the dental business of the entire Gangbuk Province was devastated. And Lai Chuntao relied on this 10,000 taels of silver to re-enter the dental business.
After that, Lai Chuntao is like a god in general, the business is even smoother, and now Lai Chuntao not only has the business of Dongcheng Yaxing all over Jiangbei Province, but also has 10,000 acres of land under his name, four mansions, dozens of inns, and it is not an exaggeration to make money every day.
Judging from the chain of evidence, this Lai Chuntao's denunciation can indeed give a good citizen award. But Lu Sheng was very sure in his heart that there must be something wrong with this Lai Chuntao. And the later fortune made Lu Sheng affirm this speculation. A person can be lucky once or twice, but fifteen years have been smooth, and it is obvious that someone has secretly escorted him.
Early the next morning, the sky was overcast, Lu Sheng took Gai Ying and Lu Jian, and quietly left the Criminal Division and rushed to Platform County.
Platform County is located in the southeast corner of Tongnan Province, and the headquarters of Dongcheng Yahang is located on the bank of the Yangtze River in Platform County.
Boom Boom –
Bursts of muffled thunder sounded, and the western sky suddenly and quickly turned into a cloud of thick ink.
Soon, a torrential rain fell with thunder. Lu Sheng and the three of them hurriedly put on their robes, but with such heavy rain, it was obvious that the clothes were useless.
Fortunately, Gai Ying knew that there was a land temple not far from here. Lu Sheng, under the leadership of Gai Ying, soon arrived at the Land Temple. Although the land temple is deserted, it is still complete, and there is no imaginary scene of rain leaking everywhere.
Just before he had time to take off his robe, Gai Ying suddenly stood up and stared at the statue of the Earth Lord with sharp eyes, "Who?
"Gai Ying, sit down, it's not good to scare the children......" Lu Sheng smiled, gathered the dry grass in the temple, and between his fingers, a flame rose.
