Ling Xiaoning smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"There is no one who knows me more than you."

The two men then went to the prison where the prisoners were held. Because the flower thief is the culprit who has caused panic among the people recently, he has received special attention, and there are about 10 or 20 people guarding the front and back.

The person who had just been caught also had outstanding anklets and bracelets on his body, and he looked embarrassed and didn't seem to have much strength to struggle.

Ling Xiaoning walked in front of him and observed carefully, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

The one who was caught was a man about 30 years old, although he was not tall, and he looked like a very ordinary face, not at all like the legendary extremely terrifying, cruel flower thief.

Can such an ordinary man really commit such murders in a row without being caught by the government?

"Tell me what are you doing sneaking around at night?"

"You bullshit people haven't found out anything at all, and you casually arrest people and wronged good people, you will be punished by God!"

"You ......"

Song Zhiqiu picked up a long stick from the side and pointed it at the man. "When you say you're wronged, you don't admit that you're the serial flower thief who's been rampant lately. Since you're not a flower thief, why do you wander around at night? I have already informed all the people in the city in advance that they are not allowed to go out at will after dark, don't you know? ”

"I'm not from this city, I don't even have a place to live, I'm not outside at night, where do you want me to go?"

"You're not from the city, this city has long been blocked, when did you come in?"

"I've been wandering in the city for half a month, but I'm penniless, and I don't have any nutrition if I want accommodation."

Song Zhiqiu interrogated a few words in a row, but did not find any flaws, took two steps back, and shook his head gently.

"This time we did seem to have caught the wrong person with great fanfare, fortunately I listened to you early to interrogate clearly, otherwise we will make a mistake again when we release the news tomorrow."

Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but be a little disappointed, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and carefully observed the man.

"You said that this man was acting on purpose, but in fact, after we caught the very powerful flower thief, he deliberately pretended to be very weak, trying to let us get through. At this time, even if he does not have a fixed residence, he can choose a more private place and have a good rest, the flower thief is rampant, even if he does not meet the requirements of the flower thief, he will inevitably worry about the danger. ”

The courage of ordinary people is relatively small, and even old men in their forties and fifties will be worried about their danger, and they will not dare to go out at will after nightfall.

"There is also a slight possibility of what you said, this person is temporarily locked up and does not need to release the news, so as not to misunderstand the people."

"I think it's better to think of some kind of way, ask him carefully, and see if he can be a flower thief."

"If he's telling the truth, it doesn't seem reasonable to be so casual with ordinary people."

"It's simple, you don't have to use those heavy punishments, so that he is covered in blood, you can use some criminal laws that are harmless and won't cause him any harm."

"You're talking about ......"

Ling Xiaoning showed a bright smile, and suddenly felt a little sleepy again.

She yawned and stretched.

"That's not the case, it's better to let more people guard him, lest he want to escape, not afraid of 10,000 just in case. I'm sleepy, so I'll go and rest first, and I'll come back tomorrow during the day, and find a way to interrogate him and see if I can get any useful information out of his mouth. ”

"That's fine, just listen to your arrangement, let's go back and rest first, and see the situation tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, on the second day, news came that a young man had been brutally murdered just before dawn.

This man's death was very tragic, and he was killed by the flower thief before, and there was not much difference between the young men, all of them were covered in tattered clothes and blurred flesh and blood.

The first person to find the deceased was a part-time farmer, who immediately reported the body to the government.

In order not to have too much impact on the common people, the people of the government immediately collected the corpse. After a simple acceptance, it can be determined that it should be the previous flower thief.

This is already the eighth life lost at the hands of the flower thief.

Ling Xiaoning also thought that the person he caught yesterday was not a flower thief, and maybe it would have something to do with the flower thief, at least it would make the flower thief not dare to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, about an hour later, someone was killed again, and I couldn't help but feel a burst of disappointment.

It seems that they really did not make any mistake in doing this, maybe they really just arrested a person who had nothing to do with it.

She still felt unhappy in her heart, and in order to vent her anger, she still went to prison and interrogated the person she caught last night.

Her interrogation method was very simple, she had all the man's limbs fixed, the man's shoes removed, and the man's soles scratched with feathers.

The man couldn't control his emotions and kept laughing.

Under such torture, the man summoned all the bad things he had done. As young as a child, I stole someone else's buns and did some prank?

When he grew up, he peeked at a married woman taking a bath and secretly put chin beans into the old village chief's meal.

The man said many, many words, and tears fell from his eyes, and nothing had anything to do with the flower thief.

Ling Xiaoning also knew that the man was indeed wronged, and he planned to be locked up for four or five days before being released on the grounds that he was condemned as an ordinary criminal and did not cooperate with the government's actions.

Hopefully, within these four or five days, things will make new progress, and we will be able to catch the real flower thief.

Although the people in the government tried their best to block the news, they didn't want everyone to know about the death of another young man.

The people were very dissatisfied with this accident, although they had already cooperated with the actions of the officials, and did not dare to go out at will after dark. The damned people are still dead, and the people in the government seem to be useless, so they have to suspect that their lives are under great threat.

There are even people who deliberately create rumors to slander the reputation of His Royal Highness the Great Prince. thinks that the eldest prince is a useless man who talks on paper and doesn't do anything.

A group of people went to the gate of the yamen to make a fuss and shout injustice. They strongly demanded that someone else come to investigate the matter, and that the murderer and the flower thief must be caught within three days.

Otherwise, they will collectively go to the capital to complain and ask the king to come forward to administer justice.

"This lover is simply the opposite, and he actually threatens His Royal Highness the eldest prince, thinking that the eldest prince is a god in the world?"
