"Isn't it strange how I ended up here?" Chu Yunfei smiled all over his face, "But before I answer your question, can you tell me what role you played in the kidnapping case of Xianggong Jia?" ”

Ruyi glared at her fiercely, opened her mouth, and before she made a sound, she only heard a "pounce", only to hear her scream, and her body suddenly fell to the ground. Chu Yunfei was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Through the faint light of the lantern, Chu Yunfei found that there was an extra arrow on her back, and the tail of the arrow had almost sunk into her body.

"There are assassins!" Chu Yunfei shouted.

In the dark, Chu Yunfei seemed to see something flashing in the backyard, and everything was calm again. The originally quiet Jia family's compound soon became noisy. He wanted to get up and chase after him, but when he saw Ruyi in his arms, he had to give up.

"How so?" Ruyi struggled to get to her feet.

Chu Yunfei helped her sit down and supported her waist with his arms. Ruyi's face was frightened: "God...... Am I really mistaken? Chu Gongzi, the person outside the kidnapper, is it really Green Peony, right? Why do they ......?"

Chu Yunfei nodded.

Ruyi had a helpless expression, "What have I done?" I'm being taken advantage of, they're not ......"

Ruyi's voice weakened, and her mouth opened and closed, but she didn't make any more sounds.

When Mrs. Jia rushed to hear the wind, Ruyi had already lost her breath. She was angry and anxious, glared at Ruyi fiercely, and coldly told her family to hurry up and buy a coffin. Because Ruyi failed to give birth to a boy and a half girl for the Jia family, according to the rules, she had to temporarily send her coffin in a temple not far from the Jia family.

With this effort, Chu Yunfei checked the backyard of the Jia family again, but found nothing. Chu Yunfei was secretly surprised, and always felt that something seemed to be a little wrong. Who is the one who killed Ruyi? Could it be someone from the Jia family? He was even a little suspicious of Mrs. Jia. He hadn't met Jia Yuanwai, and he didn't know what the relationship between Jia Yuanwai and Ruyi was, but he knew that Mrs. Jia and Ruyi were absolutely like fire and water. Just yesterday, he discovered an astonishing secret, and that may have been the reason that forced Ruyi to betray the Jia family - Mrs. Jia did something in the spices she gave Ruyi.

Mrs. Jia only symbolically shed a few tears and quickly recovered from her grief. In Chu Yunfei's opinion, she seemed to be a little gloating. Almost impatient, she began to ask about the green peony. Chu Yunfei didn't plan to have a long talk with her, and quickly left Jia's house, he wanted to see if He Ma had found any clues.

In the archives of Kaifeng Prefecture, He Ma and two or three officials were nervously flipping through old cases. They were busy for more than a day before they sorted out a few pages of information about green peonies, and it seemed that some of the information was missing. Homer looked through it and found that the pages simply recorded the hostage's description of the kidnapping before and after, the hostage's family's account of the ransom, and the government's investigation after the kidnapping.

Chu Yunfei got these incomplete materials and scratched his head worriedly. Based on the above time, the kidnapping occurred 15 years ago, and more than a dozen people were kidnapped in one year. The vast majority of the names recorded are those who are rich and unkind. The family that reported the crime had a very bad reputation, and the man was a notoriously miserly. According to the above account, it was this stingy man who was kidnapped on his way from his home to the store. After receiving the extortion letter, the family did not want to pay the money, so they simply handed it over to the government to deal with it.

"Actually, what I know may be more detailed than what is recorded above, because my uncle happened to be holding his head back then and was also involved in the investigation of this case. I heard him say that this family was very stingy and refused to spend a penny more, but in the end they were forced to spend two thousand taels of silver. In order to save that money, the family ate vegetarian food for five years, and later sold the house to live in the countryside. Homer couldn't help but laugh.

But this miser is the only one of the kidned hostages who has ever come into contact with the kidnappers, for a somewhat ridiculous reason, because the others are just under house arrest, and they are sent to a mysterious place to eat, drink and be merry. There may have been kidnappers watching their every move, but these people didn't notice. Only this miser, who has a thousand heart eyes, after he was taken away, he did not drink, and he did not get close to women. It is said that he was also sent to the place where there was wine and women, and when he was unmoved, he always wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, so he was locked up. According to the records, after the miser was captured, his eyes were blindfolded, and he was only allowed to show a little during meals. The man never saw the kidnapper, because the blindfolded cloth was only pulled down a little, and he had to keep his head down, only remembering the kidnapper's shirt, shoes, and a pair of white hands. Once, however, he unexpectedly saw a man, not a kidnapper, but a child of five or six years old. The little boy had broken in suddenly, and he had taken off his blindfold, and he looked at the child a few times, and found that the child appeared to have an injury on his chest, wrapped in a white cloth.

Homer doesn't really believe that the green peony that was rampant more than a decade ago will make a comeback. Because fifteen years have passed, and those people are no longer young, how can they have the energy to come out and commit crimes again?

"This time is definitely different from the last one. Lives have already been lost. Chu Yunfei looked at Homer.

Homer looked at him in surprise, "Someone's dead?" What does this mean? Did they tear up the ticket? Who is it? Haven't they always harmed people? How so? ”

Chu Yunfei shook his head, "It's not that they tear up the ticket, it's that their guilt should be killed." Jia Yuanwai's concubine Ruyi was bought off. Jia Yuanwai was kidnapped from her home, and she was the one who made it happen. When I revealed her identity, she was killed. ”

"What do you say? And the internal response? Right in front of your eyes, killed her? He Ma asked in surprise, how could the other party be so bold and dare to kill someone in front of Chu Yunfei's eyes.

"I was too careless."

Chu Yunfei felt his head explode all of a sudden. As he himself said, the case has become complicated, and Ruyi's death has also made the current kidnapping case qualitatively different from the one that happened fifteen years ago. He suspected that the kidnappers today might not be the same group as the Green Peony fifteen years ago. Now that the Jia family is out of the house, what about the other families? Is there an internal response too?

In Mei Xiang Xiaozhuli, Mei Yingxue, who rushed back after getting Chu Yunfei's notice, has been in a daze under the lamp. It was getting late, and the sleepiness that hit Mei Yingxue couldn't help but yawn. He didn't know what was going on in the Jia family, but Chu Yunfei suddenly summoned him back so late, there must be something important, so he had to stay there.

"How do you know what information I have at home?" The first thing Chu Yunfei did when he returned to Meixiang Xiaozhu was to ask him for information, which surprised Mei Yingxue.

Chu Yunfei smiled, "Don't forget what I do!" Uncle Mei was a well-known supernumerary arrest back then, and although he rarely directly participated in the handling of cases, as long as it was a sensational case, he left first-hand information. I think, he shouldn't miss the case of Green Peony, right? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
