Chapter 498: Before Dawn

There have always been rumors in the capital, saying that Emperor Geng is seriously ill and may die soon.

Some people even speculate that Emperor Geng can't survive the New Year, so the matter of establishing a prince is very imminent.

As for the choice of the crown prince, the people have a lot of speculation. The eldest prince, the second prince...... Even the Four Princes are admired. In contrast, Feng Ge, the prince of the fifth line, is too lonely.

Feng Ge also said that Emperor Geng's body did have problems.

The battle for the prince will soon be decided. But Xiao Ying has been back to the capital with Feng Ge for more than a month, in addition to living in the palace for more than ten days, the other ten days have been hiding at home and turning over the files, and in the last two days, she has begun to investigate the case with His Royal Highness Feng Si, and the time has passed quickly, Emperor Geng is still sick, and the dispute between the princes is still turbulent.

Xiao Ying didn't know what Feng Ge was busy with every day.

I only know that it seems that Yun Gongzi has taken him to meet many old ministers recently, and even took him to meet the sect elders of the Zongren Mansion.

Xiao Ying couldn't tell the outcome from Feng Ge's face. Regardless of joy or anger, Feng Ge can hide it very well. That's why we supported each other and didn't hide it...... It's pure nonsense.

In fact, Xiao Ying is really not interested in the scheming things, because he likes Feng Ge, so he 'loves the house and Wu', even if he doesn't want her to be troubled by this, Xiao Ying will not be stupid to drill the horns, she is now focused on the case of losing her son.

I don't know if it was a visit with great fanfare in the past two days, or Nie Xuan's visit ran into the other party's backlash. In the past two days, the capital has finally stopped losing children......

The people seemed relieved.

In contrast, Xiao Ying's expression became more and more solemn.

She once said that no matter what the case is, as long as it happens, there will always be clues. Follow these clues, and the truth will definitely come out. But this case, it seems that the more you investigate, the more strange it feels.

The other party kidnapped the child, not to ask for ransom.

Because of the lost children, many of them came from poor families. Their father and mother could not pay the ransom of even a few taels of silver.

Furthermore...... Xiao Ying asked Wang Ji to find a place where the child could be held, but there has been no news.

Nie Xuan's visit also fell into a bottleneck. It is only known that in the place where the child is lost, strangers will appear three to five days in advance. The man had little to no presence, and it was a coincidence that he was discovered. Those places where children are lost and no strangers are found, I am afraid that these people are very well hidden, so they have not been noticed from the beginning to the end.

They, not him.

This is a gang that specializes in child abduction and trafficking.

The reason is unknown, the motive is unknown, only that they seem to have a way to release a kind of incense, so that the master and servant of the house are asleep.

But this incense has a different effect on children.

It seems to allow children to do what those people want. For example, if you open the door yourself, or if a drunkard sees it, you go out on your own.

For this last point, Xiao Ying is still skeptical. After all, only one drunkard had ever seen him, and the man had been very drunk that night. It's not that this will never happen, Xiao Ying just thinks it's pointless.

Since all the adults in the house are asleep.

It doesn't seem to make a difference whether the child comes out on his own or is forcibly taken away.

The only reason Xiao Ying could think of was that the other party seemed to want to use this to create some sensational rumors and lead this matter to the ghosts and gods. Now rumors are indeed boiling in the capital, saying that everything is done by ghosts.

Those missing children were taken to heaven to be virgins and virgins to the Jade Emperor.

Because of this rumor, Xiao Ying deduced that the other party did not intend to seek anything from the child's family......

So those children are in a bad situation. If you find your child's hiding place one day later, your child will be more dangerous.

Therefore, it is urgent to solve the case.

Sheffee's arrival was like a pebble, causing only a small ripple. After Xie Fei was taken away by Feng Ye, Xiao Ying quickly turned her mind to the file again, what she was looking at was the map of the lost child in the capital, on which a new place was found where suspicious people were found.

At first glance, the big trap is a small circle, red, black and black, which is a test of people's eyesight.

Feng Ge finished reading the last fold, and saw Xiao Ying holding her chin and looking at the picture on the table without blinking. He felt sorry for those beautiful eyes, and he was not afraid of being dazzled after watching them all night.

Feng Ge approached and gently put on a coat for Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying was awakened violently. "Scaring you? I didn't even notice what I was thinking. ”

Xiao Ying shook her head, she had just left her mind. "I wondered if there was anything I hadn't noticed, so I checked for three days and there was no progress."

"Silly girl, Wang Ji has been investigating for almost three months, and I haven't seen any progress from him, you have only taken over for three days......" "This is a matter of human life, and one day is enough time for the murderer to commit a new case." Three days...... It's enough for the killer to kill all the children. ”

She didn't want to think badly, though.

But Feng Ge's words were like a stick, and she trembled in her heart.

The first missing child has been lost for nearly three months.

If the other party uses the children to do something, I am afraid that most of the children have already encountered accidents, which is something that Xiao Ying does not want to think about.

"With you, this case will definitely be solved. Regardless of whether the child can be rescued safely or not, we will give their parents an explanation. But if it weren't for you...... I'm afraid this case will eventually become an open one. Thirty or fifty years later, everyone brought it up, but it was just a sigh. ”

From the beginning of the sporadic crimes, Wang Ji first concealed them, and then tried his best to solve them.

When I went to Dali Temple and even the Criminal Department, I began to ask questions.

It's not that people who are unmotivated and vow to find out the truth are all gone in the end.

At this point, almost no one will touch this case. Because once he boasted about Haikou but failed to solve the case, I am afraid that this person will not be able to get out of the way.

Fortunately, Xiao Ying's identity is different.

She helped out, just because she didn't want to see those parents who lost their children in tears all day long, that is, in the end, she couldn't solve the case, and everyone wouldn't be too harsh on a girl.

Coupled with her identity as the county lord of Changning, she can be safe. That's why Feng Ge agreed to Xiao Ying's appearance.

On the premise of not being able to protect Changning, Feng Ge would rather watch the capital continue to lose his children than allow Xiao Ying to take risks. Everyone has selfishness, and his selfishness is that Xiao Ying is safe and sound.

In the past, Feng Ge didn't care about how many unsolved cases there were, and he didn't understand what it meant to be "people-oriented". Now that he gradually understands, he can more and more understand why Xiao Ying insists on being a lawyer. “…… Tomorrow, Uncle Huang and I will go out, less than three days, more than five days, when I am not there, the wind will listen to you. ”

"Want to go out with Yun Gongzi?"

"Yes. Go and meet a few of the emperor's friends. Several of them are strong people, and I want to convince them to join if possible. ”
