Chapter 14: Xuanwu Killing Order

Suddenly, Lu Sheng remembered that Lao Bao took out two gold bars in the coffin, and asked casually, "That Lao Bao's coffin shop occupies the whole street, and the business should be good, right?"

"Not a bad fart! He's a lonely star, who would dare to buy a coffin from him? Even if someone dies nearby, I'd rather run to the south of the city to buy it. It is also because someone in the family died in vain that they will go to him to buy a coffin to calm the evil spirit. ”

Lu Sheng walked back with Lu Li, thinking about it in his mind.

A coffin shop that doesn't have much business but has a lot of money. Since he can take out 3,000 taels as a dowry, it should at least be a small rich family, with a deposit of more than 10,000 yuan.

Why don't you have all this money? Why do you want to sell coffins?

Lao Bao only came to Suzhou three years ago, Lu Sheng checked, but he didn't know what this person did before.

The owner of the coffin shop, mysterious and rich.

Connecting this line instantly made Lu Sheng think of an identity, "Ahri, you said this old bag, could he be a certain hidden person in the rivers and lakes?"

"It's very likely, I've heard people say that many martial arts seniors will turn into ordinary people after they retire. This old Bao Shen is mysterious, and it is likely that he is the predecessor who retired from the rivers and lakes. ”

"Cut, that old bag knows at a glance that he is not a good person. What about the predecessors...... If the other party has martial arts, it is possible to infiltrate He Mansion silently. Take a chance to test it. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll try it!" Lu Li's expression suddenly showed an excited expression.

"No!" Lu Sheng refused in an instant without thinking about it.

"Why?"

"As far as your three-legged cat is concerned, it's not enough to stuff people's teeth. ”

"You say I'm not good at martial arts? Come, brother, let's have a fight. Lu Li suddenly bared his teeth at Lu Sheng.

It was already dark when he returned to the Criminal Division, and Lu Sheng simply locked himself in the room after a simple dinner.

With the list of suspects in front of him, Lu Sheng highlighted the old bag.

Time passed imperceptibly, and it was already late at night.

Da Da Da –

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door of the study creaked, and Lao Wei walked slowly with a lantern.

"My lord, haven't you rested yet?"

Lu Sheng's pen was still drawing on the paper, and he saw Lao Wei showing a smile, "It's almost good, I'll sleep in a while." Is the stalking at the coffin shop arranged?"

"It's all arranged, it's safe from a hundred feet. As long as there is an abnormality in the old bag, it will be reported immediately. My lord, what are you drawing?"

Lao Wei leaned over and looked at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly, "Xuanwu Killing Order!, my lord, where did you see this thing?"

"Xuanwu Killing Order, what is that?" Lu Sheng immediately raised his head and asked curiously.

"The Xuanwu Killing Order is a terrifying killing order more than ten years ago. According to legend, as long as they are targeted by the Xuanwu Killing Order, no one can survive for three days.

The king of Hades wants you to die on the third watch, how can he keep you until the fifth watch! More than ten years ago, four top killers appeared in the Central Plains martial arts. They are the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu.

Every killer has a kill order, but anyone they kill will leave a kill order on the spot. And what you are drawing, my lord, is the Xuanwu Killing Order. ”

"Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, they have very high martial arts?" Lu Sheng asked a little nervously.

"I don't know!" Old Wei shook his head cautiously, "Whether the killer is terrible or not has nothing to do with the level of martial arts. The purpose of a killer is to kill the target, and martial arts are only one of the means to kill the target.

Killers can do anything to kill their targets. They can poison, they can sow discord, and they can even kill people by the hands of others.

And the most striking thing about these four killers is that they have never had a record of missing a shot.

None of those who are locked up by them are spared. ”

"No one is spared?" Lu Sheng chewed on these four words, but he was extremely frightened.

"Yes, no one was spared. But there has been no news of these four killers in the past ten years, and some say that they have succeeded countless times but cannot experience a single failure.

So it was rumored that they were all dead. If you are in Suzhou, then you have to inform the prefect as soon as possible, because when the four major killers come to Suzhou Mansion, something big will definitely happen. ”

"It seems...... Lao Bao's identity is not to be tempted!" Lu Sheng put down his pen and let out a long sigh.

"Lao Bao is less than four feet tall, and I went to Lao Bao's coffin shop to investigate during the day today. Condescendingly, he found that the old bag had this pattern tattooed on his chest.

Originally, I had doubts about Lao Bao's identity, so I concluded that it was related to his identity and kept it in mind. I didn't expect that this afternoon, we would actually go to the ghost gate. ”

"Lao Bao......" Lao Wei's brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes flashed with reminiscence, "In this way, the three murders three years ago were also caused by Lao Bao." ”

"Three homicides, what homicides?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Three years ago, Lao Bao just came to Suzhou City and opened a coffin shop in the east of the city. The east of the city is prosperous, and it is also a gathering place for restaurants to eat. Suddenly, a coffin shop was opened, and it was naturally very unlucky.

Therefore, the restaurants on the left and right tried their best to let the old bag move out, some splashed feces, blocked the door, and scolded the door.

But Lao Bao looked impassive on the surface, almost not fighting back, scolding and not returning his mouth, looking like a good old man.

But not long after, the man who threw the dung was bitten to death by a poisonous snake on the way to the stock. A few days later, another man went up the mountain and died of a falling rock.

There are also nights when I dream that many snakes have crawled into their homes, and they are densely packed. The government intervened in the investigation and concluded that it was an accidental death.

As a result, the reputation of the old Bao Tiansha Lone Star spread.

Whoever got involved was unlucky, the old bag didn't leave, but those who wanted to get rid of the old bag moved away. ”

"If Lao Bao is the killer of the Xuanwu Killing Order, it is still easy to create a few accidents. In this case, I will inform the prefect tomorrow that he will be arrested. Even if Lao Bao is not a murderer, his identity as a killer is enough for him to cut the knife. ”

Although there are imperial courts and rivers and lakes in this era, the degree of freedom of the rivers and lakes is far from as high as imagined. What gorgeous rivers and lakes are full of blood and rain?

If you don't agree with each other, you will draw a knife and kill?

Just kidding, the Yu Dynasty was a society with a legal system.

People in the rivers and lakes are fighting, if there is no challenge, you can try it? If there is no life and death, you can try it? Killing people will pay for your life.

It's okay for the chivalrous people to be righteous, and it's okay to draw a knife to help when the road is uneven, even if you level a heinous cottage.

But to kill someone, do you first make sure that the other party deserves to die?

There was a bloody lesson.

There was once a small sect that heard that a cottage had appeared in the surrounding area, and thought that it was time to brush up its prestige, and the whole sect had mobilized to wipe out the cottage overnight, and all the other men except the old and weak women and children were corrected on the spot.

He also carried the body to the local yamen to receive the reward.

But I never thought that this cottage was a local village that suffered from famine, and it was forced to fall into the grass. The government is preparing to recruit an area to rearrange for them to live.

Now it's okay, dozens of families are ruined.

And that little sect is still squatting in prison.

Early the next morning, Lu Sheng took Lu Li, Lao Wei and Lao Li, to the prefect's yamen.

But I didn't expect the prefect to be in office so early. It's still the same officer, and it's still taken to the living room.

However, this time Governor Qian did not let Lu Sheng wait too long, and soon Governor Qian held a burrito in his hand and gnawed while walking. The rough eating appearance is very down-to-earth.

"The lower officials see the prefect. ”

"No courtesy, sit!" Qian Zhifu said, came to the main seat, picked up the teapot and poured two sips.

"I heard you have something important to reciprocate?"

"My lord, the murderer of the He family's murder case has been found. ”

"Uh-" Qian Zhifu stuck a mouthful of burrito in his throat, and it took a lot of effort to swallow it.

"Is this official really wrong in judging the case?" Governor Qian laughed playfully.

In his opinion, Lu Sheng should have been deceived. After all, Lu Sheng is too young, and he has just come into contact with officialdom.

Criminal detective cases require experience. Even if Lu Sheng is smart, he has no experience.

"Okay, you tell me how to find the real murderer and where to find the real murderer. ”

"Returning to your lordship...... This starts with the lower officials receiving the dossier. Xia Guan personally went to He Qing's house and verified the scene of the crime. Several minor suspicions were found.

First, Miss He Qing said that she was sleeping, and suddenly she felt someone climb into her bed, and she woke up. But before he could exclaim, he was knocked unconscious.

Miss He Qing's door was bolted in, even if the murderer broke through the door, then Miss He Qing should wake up the moment the door was knocked open instead of waiting for the murderer to climb into bed. ”

Hearing this, Qian Zhifu's playful eyes suddenly retracted. This detail was important, but it was something he had overlooked before.

"And then?"

Xia Guan looked at the broken door bolt, and the fracture was neat, which was shattered by internal force. This shows that the murderer is a person with martial arts. And Li Xiang is just a swinger with no martial arts. ”

Governor Qian kept brushing his beard, and his face became gloomy, "You go on." ”

"Second, Miss He Qing woke up after being humiliated, and immediately got up from the bed after learning about the encounter, opened the door and wanted to call for help. But at that moment, he was stabbed by the murderer.

The wound is on the upper side of the abdomen and runs through the body, and the wound on the back is slightly higher than the abdomen. It can be seen that this sword is stabbed from the bottom up.

And Miss He Qing's door has two steps, and if a normal person stabs this sword, the wound must be in the chest and not in the abdomen. From this, the subordinates deduced that the murderer was either crouching or extremely short less than four feet.

After leaving Hefu, Xiaguan accidentally learned another clue from a neighbor of Hefu.

About three months ago, the He Mansion had set a family affair for Miss He Qing. But Miss He Qing swore to die, and the marriage was abandoned.

And that man is the old bag of the coffin shop in the east of the city. Xia Guan immediately went to investigate, and this old bag was indeed less than four feet tall as rumored. ”

As he spoke, Lu Sheng stared at the prefect of Qian who was deep in thought.

Qian Zhifu paced back and forth in the living room, and after a long time, he stopped, "That's all? These are just your speculations, but there is no ironclad evidence. Although Lao Bao is indeed suspicious, it is much worse than Li Xiang's ironclad evidence. ”

"My lord, in fact, Lao Bao has another identity. Lu Sheng waited for the prefect Qian to finish digesting it, and then continued.
