Chapter 175: Investigation of the case
Liao Luan, who was listening carefully to the little girl's speech, glanced back lightly.
At this glance, others looked nothing, but Ding Wenbao instantly felt like Mu Hanbing, and the whole person shrank for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Liao Luan saw that he was quiet, so he turned his head to look at Lin Zuiliu and asked, "I probably know the situation, what should we do today?" ”
"Of course, we went to the victim's house to check the situation, we only saw the corpse yesterday, and today it is better to strike while the iron is hot."
Lingyue City, a new village in the east of the city.
At this time, it is the time when the sun has just risen in the morning, Lingyue City is surrounded by mountains, and the east of the city stands by the mountain.
“…… Remember, when you arrive in a while, remember to take out the majesty of the official family, don't shrink back and look at the stupid ones, do you understand? ”
Lin Zuiliu sat on Liao Luan's horse, looking at Ding Wenbao, who couldn't ride a horse and could only straddle Chu Shi'an's horse, and couldn't help laughing again. Ding Wenbao's stomach was about to come upside down, and the whole person was very uncomfortable, and now seeing that Lin Zuiliu, the woman had no sympathy at all, she even laughed at him, and suddenly became angry.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh what laugh? Is it wrong not to be able to ride a horse? The voice was rough and rough, with the characteristic male duck voice of a young man, and it sounded funnier intermittently.
Afraid that he would be embarrassed by his thin skin, Lin Zuiliu hurriedly shook his head cooperatively, "That's right, it's just that I'm very puzzled why your father didn't ask a master to teach you." ”
"Don't you understand this, sister," Ding Wenbao said, drooping his head down, "Our family is a businessman, and my father has always liked to read in his life, and he has dreamed of letting me come back with a reputation in this life, so I used the word treasure." ”
This sounds like a child that a money dealer likes to cultivate, but ...... Lin Zuiliu looked at Ding Wenbao's skin, and thought in his heart that he shouldn't be too smart, and he couldn't learn the Four Books and Five Classics.
Several people were noisy, and after a while, they arrived at the door of a village in the east of the city.
Looking through the wooden door, the whole yard is not big, and there is a clean well, and there are two chickens pecking on the ground to eat.
A few people got out of the carriage, Liao Luan reached out and patted Chu Shi'an's shoulder, and finally felt a little humane, and said as encouragingly, "Go quickly, don't be too timid, be generous." ”
"Hmm!" The young man, who had been encouraged, walked to the door in three or two steps, stretched out his paws and patted on the door. "Anyone? Please open the door. ”
After he finished speaking, there was no response in the courtyard for a long time, and he was about to knock on the door again and shout again, when the second door of the room suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out.
The woman looked very depressed, with no smile on her face, she walked out a few steps and opened the door, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and she said, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Rashly contacting strangers, Chu Shi'an was obviously a little uncomfortable, and pondered for a long time before he spoke, "That, auntie, we want to ask ......"
"Ask about the murder." Ding Wenbao hurriedly answered, and before he finished speaking, he saw that the middle-aged woman in the courtyard suddenly became very sad, and then slowly burst into tears.
The whole space became quiet, only the woman's sobs rang out, Lin Zuiliu was a little embarrassed, and a little pity for her, she stepped forward in three or two steps and comforted, "Auntie, are you okay?" ”
The woman waved her hand, tears on her face still dry, and she sobbed and said, "You, you ...... Come in and talk about it...... Go ahead. ”
As he spoke, he welcomed Lin Zuiliu and the four into the courtyard.
Rural people are not so particular about receiving customers, and there is not even enough big stool at home, so they simply moved a few small stools and put them in the yard, and one person sat down, and Liao Luan sat directly on the edge of the well.
"What do you want to know?"
Seeing that the middle-aged woman was so cooperative, Lin Zuiliu didn't bring out her own set of rhetoric, and asked directly, "May I ask if the victim is yours?" ”
"It's my daughter, just fifteen years old, flower-like age, gone in one night, since her father is gone, I rely on her to survive until now, it's hard to get out, and now it's ......"
As she spoke, tears flowed down again, Lin Zuiliu was really not good at comforting people, so she could only persuade her lightly on the side, and after she finished crying, she continued to ask mercilessly, "Please recall, what did your daughter say before she died, and where did she die?" ”
"She said that night that she suddenly remembered that she didn't feed the chickens at night, so she had to get dressed and go to the field to feed her, and I couldn't stop her, so she went.
"When I went out to see it again, the child was lying outside the door of the hall, his chest and clothes open, and all blood."
She whined and cried, Lin Zuiliu's head gradually formed the process of the murderer's killing, this process should be very fast, the victim was unable to scream when he realized the pain, and could only maintain the expression of horror and pain before death, and slowly fell down like this.
Several people visited many homes in succession, and only then did they find that almost all the dead girls died suddenly without everyone realizing it.
After everyone had walked through the house, the two of them said goodbye to the two teenagers and returned to the inn in the city.
"What do you think?"
"I just asked about the birthdays of these victim girls, and found that they have a common characteristic, they are all extremely yin people."
This surprised Lin Zuiliu, looked at Liao Luan, and asked, "When did you ask?" How I don't know. ”
Liao Luan couldn't deny it, and didn't answer Lin Zuiliu's words, but said, "I heard that people with extreme yin have a hard life, and there are not many girls with such birthdays, if we can, we will ask Chu Shi'an to secretly take out the book of the world and see which girls are." ”
Lin Zuiliu had been worried that the murderer would continue to kill people next, and she had been worried in her heart, but now after listening to Liao Luan's analysis, she felt that it was very reasonable, and her eyes lit up and turned around to go out, but her hand was suddenly dragged, she turned back in confusion, and saw Liao Luan squinting at her, with a very helpless look, "Ah Liu, don't worry, let's eat first." ”
From going out in the morning to being busy until I just came back in the afternoon and went out again, until now the two of them haven't eaten a mouthful of food, Lin Zuiliu was just about to excuse herself and say that she was not hungry, but her stomach suddenly gurgled, she rubbed her stomach and nodded approvingly, "Then let's eat first." ”
Chu Shi'an is a child who doesn't talk much, but he is very neat in doing things, and after listening to Lin Zuiliu's instructions, he quickly brought things to her.
Although there are only 20 to 10 years ago, the birth dates of all the girls, but because Lingyue City is peaceful and has a long history, there are many children born in every family.
Lin Zuiliu ......
"It seems like a lot of work, and I'm still thinking about catching up on sleep."
Naturally, her thoughts could not be as she wished, in fact, the four people, plus the five Guan Yan who were called out to pull coolies, were still busy until the middle of the night when they turned on the lamp and read the two stacks of books of the world.
Lin Zuiliu was in charge of recording, so at this time, the list in her hand had already recorded all the young girls born when Lingyue City was extremely yin, and sure enough, as Liao Luan said, there were not many people, and there were still five left.
However, the difficulty lies in the fact that all of them will be able to take it apart to reach five, Lin Zuiliu is a girl's family, and Liao Luan will not allow her to act alone.
Things seemed to have reached a stalemate, it was not early, and Lin Zuiliu did not leave Ding Wenbao and Chu Shi'an, and sent the two away with a very calm face, and then turned back to coax the stubborn Liao Luan.
"Why are you unhappy all of a sudden?"
"Don't you want to act alone, it's so dangerous outside now, and you don't know any martial arts, what if you lose it when the time comes?"
"Otherwise, I will simply report this matter to the emperor and let the emperor send someone to investigate, anyway, this matter is not up to us." Liao Luan said that the wind is rain, and he was about to take out the empty music fold in his luggage to play it for the emperor.
What can Lin Zuiliu do, of course he is ruthlessly stopped? This matter is not mattered, now it is managed, and the reasoning is half reasoned, and the direction is right, and if it drags on like this, I don't know what the situation will be next time.
The two fell into a stalemate for a while, quietly ignoring each other, until they lay on the bed and turned off the lights and went to sleep, Lin Zuiliu suddenly remembered something, suddenly sat up and said, "I know, Liao Luan, tomorrow we will go to stare at the female Oiran in the Qinglou first." ”
After finishing speaking, Li also ignored Liao Luan, turned his back to him, and soon his breathing slowly stabilized and fell asleep.
The night was silent, and from the morning of the second day, Lin Zuiliu disguised herself as a man and changed into big boots, looking quite masculine, and was dragged by Liao Luan to the largest flower building in Lingyue City-Zuixian Pavilion.
This place looks elegant, and it is not full of muddy children, my mother is capable, and she has cultivated a lot of Qingqier, Lingyue City is originally a place that likes the atmosphere of vassal elegance, so the talented and good-looking Chunqier is very popular, and the drunken fairy pavilion is in the limelight for a while.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, someone came over, and a smell of thick fat powder rushed over, choking Lin Zuiliu, "Yo~ These two officials look very raw, look at this young student with clear eyebrows is really pleasing to the eye, what do you want to find when you two come to us?" ”
As she spoke, the woman with a mole on the corner of her mouth and a face covered in powder held up her hand with long nails and patted it, and soon several people rushed in front of the two.
The flowers and willows and green clothes worn by these girls are so lively, it may be that seeing Lin Zuiliu's young age, they rushed towards Liao Luan, and Liao Luan's face darkened suddenly.
