Chapter 458: Oath

"My lord, the deceased had a good appearance before his death, with long legs and a thin waist, which meets the standards of Chuzhou beauties. This may also be the direction in which the killer locks onto his target. The deceased had been raped during his lifetime, and the perpetrator was so brutal that we infer that the deceased was tortured to death and then thrown into the river.

There are many bruises and tooth marks on the body, and the perpetrator should be in a state of madness at the time of the attack. We deduce that either the murderer was a psychologically twisted pervert, or that he was in a state of insanity. ”

"Further in-depth post-mortem examination. Lu Sheng turned around coldly, and a body of murderous intent gushed out like substance, "I'm going to crush that bastard to ashes." Sun You, take me to the place where the body was found. ”

Lu Sheng and others came to the Qiming River valley where the body was found, and many people were already surrounded on the bank at this moment. In the distance, a terrible cry came from the river.

Lu Sheng paused, and looked at the brothers who came to protect the scene suspiciously, "What's the situation?" ”

"Meet the head of the sect, it is the parents of the deceased who cry their daughter again, they have a son and a daughter in their family, Hua Yuerong is a beautiful woman in their ten miles and eight towns. I had already found a good family for my daughter, but I didn't want such a thing to happen......"

While they were talking, the two crying old men seemed to have discovered Lu Sheng and the others, and hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and rushed towards Lu Sheng. Xuan Tianwei was about to stop him, but was stopped by Lu Sheng.

"Your Excellency...... You're an adult from Xuantian Mansion, aren't you...... Why didn't we have a girl? How did we not have it...... Who hurt her? Who is so ruthless......

Looking at the two gray-haired old men, their eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and their hoarse voices shouted heart-rending words like the cries of terminally ill sheep.

The words of comfort that were originally blurted out could not be spoken.

Lu Sheng knew that what these two old men wanted was not comforting words, what they wanted was Xuantian Mansion to avenge them and find justice for them.

"Two old men, please get up. ”

Lu Sheng's words had no effect in the ears of the two old men, they seemed to have sunk into their own sadness, and kept talking about how good and considerate their daughter was, but now, how miserable she died.

Lu Sheng gently helped the two old men up, and solemnly looked at the two distorted faces, "I promise that the murderer will be brought to justice within a month, no matter who he is, I will not tolerate it." ”

"Really?" these words seemed to bring the two old men back to their senses, staring at their eyes that could barely be opened, and looking at Lu Sheng blankly, "This adult, what did you say...... Do you count?"

"Count, these words were said by Lu Sheng, the head town of Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou. After speaking, he straightened his waist and looked at the people who were constantly surrounding in the distance, as well as a group of red-eyed Xuantianwei.

"Brothers, the people of Chuzhou, I have made this promise, if the case cannot be solved within a month, this official will personally explain it to you. Xuan Tianwei listens to orders!"

"Inferior!"

With a bang, dozens of Xuantian guards fell to their knees in unison.

"This official's promise to the people is within a month, but the requirement for you is that within half a month, if the case cannot be solved, the face of Xuantian Mansion will be lost, and you may not have the face to see the elders of Chuzhou again.

From now on, everyone will cheer up, and vow not to give up until this case is solved, and if there is any slack and slow work, severe punishment will not be granted!"

"Humble obedience!"

"Pacify them and deal with the aftermath, Sun You, you come with me!"

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he took Sun You and the others upstream.

"My lord, why do you make such a promise to the people in public? You have taught us not to make promises lightly without being absolutely sure. Untrustworthiness is small, and untrustworthiness is big. ”

"It's not for nothing that Gai Ying said at the meeting before, especially today, after the brothers escorted him, the other party really didn't make a move.

It seems that they are avoiding the limelight. But as soon as it changed hands, they sent the body of the robbed bride over, which had some elements of dismounting. The possibility of calling the Xuantian Mansion has been increased to thirty percent.

And I made a public promise that if I couldn't solve the case within a month, I would have to take the blame and resign. I just hope to use this to trigger the other party to rebound and take the initiative to show my feet. ”

"But...... There is also a possibility that the other party will be dormant from now on, waiting for us to achieve our goal by not being able to solve the case within a month. ”

Lu Sheng paused, turned his head and looked at Sun You seriously.

"If that's the possibility, that's what we'd love to see. If they die down, then no innocent people will be killed within a month. ”

"But, my lord, do you really want to take the blame and resign?"

"If I take the blame and resign, will the emperor agree?" Lu Sheng smiled and turned around and walked forward. And Sun You, who was behind him, suddenly looked at Lu Sheng's back and once again showed a look of admiration.

Adults are worthy of being adults, and they are already invincible in an instant.

If the other party makes a move, then the adults will seize the opportunity to take the handle, and if they don't make a move, the people will have a month of peace, no matter how they calculate, they will make a profit and not lose money.

The group quickly searched along the upper reaches of the Qiming River, in fact, before this, Sun You had already sent his brothers along the river to look for clues, so along the way, Lu Sheng could often see the figure of Xuan Tianwei appearing on both sides of the river.

About two hours later, suddenly a large group of people came straight to Lu Sheng and the others.

"My lord, I found it, in the upper reaches of the Qiming River, six more naked corpses were found, we have found the place where the corpses were dumped, except for a few footprints and traces of dragging, there is no other trace.

The police dog searched for almost an hour, and after advancing less than three miles in the dense forest, it lost its way and could only spin in place. ”

"This shows that the other party has made targeted measures to deal with our police dogs, and they are very professional. ”

When Lu Sheng came to the scene, the six naked corpses had been fished out by Xuan Tianwei and covered with a white cloth. Lu Sheng checked them one by one, and the death status and cause of death of these women were almost the same as Hua Yuerong, and even the time of death coincided, and it could be concluded that they were killed together.

And in addition to these, there is another thing in common, these women are almost the same height, with long legs, thin waists, and good faces. From this point of view, it can be concluded that the murderer chooses the preference of the target.

"Take it back and give it to the coroner's room for careful inspection!"

After Lu Sheng finished his order, he personally went to the surrounding area to look for clues, this is the real mountains and dense forests, except for the undulating mountains and endless dense forests.

And judging by the growth of the trees and the clutter of the thorn bushes, not even the woodcutters have ever set foot here. But...... Why did the murderer appear here, and did he choose this place as the place to dump the body?

"Sun You, leave a group of brothers around here to search for signs of recent activity. I suspect that the killer's forces or organization may have been hiding in this dense forest for a long time.

As long as we find the slightest clue, we must find them even if we search in a carpet way. ”

"Yes!"

searched until dark, when the conditions were really not allowed, Lu Sheng was unwilling to leave, and Sun You had already selected a thousand people to enter the dense forest with fully armed equipment, and divided into a hundred teams to search for all suspicious traces in a carpet manner.

"My lord, there's new news from the autopsy room. Lu Sheng had just returned to Xuantian Mansion, and before he could sit down and take a sip of tea, the spider hurriedly knocked on the door and said.

"What's the news?"

"They found a large amount of medicinal juice in the stomach pouch of the deceased, and they identified it as a very strong aphrodisiac. This can also explain why the deceased were obviously violently killed, but their faces were not distorted by pain, but had a strange expression of excitement.

The amount of medicine they took was enough to burn them to death, even if they had sex with others. ”

"What about the origin of the potion, and is there any peculiarity?"

"This aphrodisiac should be a strange and prostitute powder, it was used by a flower thief in Chuzhou fifteen years ago, but the flower thief had already been caught. Not only was he beheaded by the government for public display, but he was also crushed by the victim's family after his death.

Since then, the aphrodisiac has not been seen again. My lord, is it really the flower thief?"

"Even if it's a flower thief, it's definitely not your average flower thief. Is there any special nature of the medicinal ingredients of Qi Jiaosan, and are there any medicinal ingredients that can only be found in special people or special places?" Lu Sheng hurriedly asked.

"The main ingredient of Qi Yan San is a medicine called Boyang Flower, but this medicine is a controlled drug, and the imperial court explicitly prohibits the people from buying it.

This medicine is used as a painkiller, and even the stock of the drug administration is very small. Only those who are terminally ill and waiting to die will take this medicine to relieve their suffering.

Moreover, this medicine is so expensive that ordinary people simply cannot afford it. Therefore, if ordinary people have a painful terminal illness, they will either grit their teeth and wait for death, or they will directly take arsenic. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the drug administration to check and see if there are any clues. ”

Lu Sheng personally took people to the drug administration, and even if the officials of the drug administration had already left work, they all rushed over overnight.

After Lu Sheng's inquiry, the Drug Administration shook his head again and again, "Boyang Flower is a forbidden medicine in the imperial court, but because it has the effect of relieving pain and condensing qi and hanging life, it has not been completely banned.

This kind of medicinal herb can not be cultivated by ordinary people, and each plant must be registered with the Food and Drug Administration, and someone will review it every month.

In Chuzhou, there is only one place to grow Boyang flowers, and that is the official medicine garden. And the Boyang flowers in the official medicine garden have not been lost, and each plant has a place to go and a place to come. ”

"Hasn't anyone ever bought this kind of medicine?" Lu Sheng asked with a frown.

"Even if someone buys this drug, the amount is very scarce. But my lord, it's not the lower officials who pour cold water on adults, the Boyang flowers on the market are more than 100 times the record of our Food and Drug Administration. ”

"Why? Isn't it controlled that you wait for the corpse to eat a vegetarian meal?"

"The Lord forgives sins, not because we don't want to control it, but because we can't control it. Boyang flower is a forbidden drug, because it is a banned drug, so it is extremely expensive. On the black market, the price of Boyang flowers is five taels per dollar.

Adults think about it, how can such a high price not make people take risks? Although Boyang flowers are expensive, their cultivation is not difficult. As long as the seeds are sprinkled, there is little need to be taken care of to have a good harvest.

Ordinary people may not have the courage to do so. But some Jianghu martial arts people don't care about the laws of the imperial court. And under such violence, even many gate lords will secretly plant. ”
