Chapter 189: The murderer is arrested
Le Zhengyu and a few others, according to the position agreed in advance, ambushed, the night became thick by a minute, there was nothing else around except the sound of the wind, the autumn night was so lonely and dry, even the usual crows hid early.
In the middle of the night like this, no one noticed that the entourage named Du Jiang, who was originally with Master Cao, disappeared at some point.
Just like that, they kept waiting, and the other people were a little anxious, only Le Zhengyu dozed off like a person who had nothing to do.
The heavy night gradually dissipated, and the early hours of the morning were also the most sleepy time, and the house seemed to have the sound of porcelain falling, and Le Zhengyu, who was in a false sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and jumped into the courtyard with a jump, but he turned a corner and ran towards Cuiqing's room.
Although Master Cao and Zhou Min's kung fu were not as good as Le Zhengyu's, they were also vigilant, and jumped into the small courtyard with Le Zhengyu's direction, and what came into their eyes was an open door, which was still dim inside, and when they walked closer, they could only see a teapot that looked like a broken piece scattered on the ground.
"Lord Zhou, this ...... What's going on? ”
Cao Zheng, who was standing in the room, looked at Zhou Min with a puzzled expression, but Zhou Min just looked at the curtain and shook his head slightly.
When Cao Zheng and Zhou Min found out that the old man who had died on the bed, there was not much fluctuation in their hearts, but it seemed that when the old man took his last breath before his death, it was not smooth.
Looking at the teapot on the ground again, the broken porcelain pieces were empty, as if they had been deliberately poured out, and not a drop of tea was left.
The two sighed, because they knew in advance that Cuiqing's grandfather's health was getting worse and worse, and the doctor said that he had run out of oil and could only wait for him to leave, so there was no sudden lament.
On the other side of the courtyard, Le Zhengyu did not knock politely, but broke in directly, and when she broke in, a cry of pain came from inside the house, and Le Zhengyu also saw the people lying on it clearly through the faint light outside, and then she looked directly at the people who were about to escape.
"Two dogs! How are you? Le Zhengyu asked hurriedly.
The arm stabbed by the knife was glowing black at a speed visible to the naked eye, but his heart ached even more, "Can't you forget that title?" ”
"Good! Ergoudan, this is an antidote pill, which can temporarily alleviate all toxicity, and you can continue to fight side by side with me after you swallow it. ”
Le Zhengyu threw a small porcelain bottle to Chu Rinjun in his busy schedule, and the second dog egg, who was swallowing medicine, heard Le Zhengyu's words, and almost sprayed her to death with a mouthful of old blood.
"You're here, can't you bring a few more people!" Chu Rinjun struggled to stand up, the toxicity was too great, and although it could be temporarily relieved, his injured arm was still a little numb.
The window had already been opened, but the man obviously didn't expect that not only would someone jump out of the cabinet to attack him, but there would also be someone outside, and it would be a woman.
According to the timetable in Le Zhengyu's mind, it was four o'clock in the morning, and it was also the most sleepy time, and it was also the best time for the murderer to commit murder, especially after the murderer got the sound of the old man next to him breaking the teapot, he was even more unscrupulous, knowing that he had been waiting for something to do, he could start.
Although the murder method is skillful, but in the case of Le Zhengyu and Chu Rinjun joining forces, he was still hit by a sword, and the original sword was also quenched with poison, Le Zhengyu made a complete strategy the moment he discovered the loophole in the case, but in terms of Ergoudan, he lacked a little consideration.
watched the princess dragging a person and supporting a person...... When a guard came out, Lord Cao hurriedly went up to support the crumbling Chu Rinjun.
"Princess, why did you go in alone and catch this murderer, how dangerous is this! Also, the two dog egg guards are poisoned, right? This is worth it, this murderer not only kills, but also dares to openly poison the court guards, see if this official is not ......"
Lord Cao put Chu Rinjun on Zhou Min's shoulder, and then kicked at the murderer, and when he raised his leg and was about to kick again, Lord Cao was scared stupid.
Du ...... River! ”
"Princess, is there a mistake? This is the personal entourage next to Xia Guan! He was adopted by me since he was a child, and he has never done anything hurtful, how can he be a murderer who killed so many people? Lord Zhou, you can explain to the princess for me! You've watched this kid grow up. ”
Lord Cao threw away the funny image of the past at this moment, with a serious face and some reluctance to admit it, I just hope that Le Zhengyu can believe his words, maybe in Lord Cao's heart, this is not just his personal entourage, he has no children in his life, he has already regarded the child he picked up back as his own son.
"Lord Cao, the matter has not been clarified yet, can you listen to what the princess has to say first? Now it's better to escort the suspect back to Dali Temple first, and then detoxify this second dog guard. ”
Zhou Min persuaded him with good words, and he didn't know why this matter had developed to the situation it was today, and why Du Jiang, who had been following them, had become a murderer.
Lord Cao had no choice but to follow everyone to the Dali Temple he was most familiar with in Zhou Min's persuasion, and the person called Du Jiang along the way was silent, Chu Rinjun had been carried back to the palace by Le Zhengyu, and what he found on the entourage seemed to be an antidote, and he could only take it back for the doctor in the palace to check.
In the cell, Le Zhengyu explained to everyone the abnormalities she found at that time, and discussed with Chu Rinjun early, asking him to place Cuiqing in the prison of Dali Temple in such an emergency situation, and then hide in Cuiqing's room, as long as the murderer appeared, he would subdue the other party.
Lord Cao was still in pain and grief and couldn't come back to his senses, and everyone knew a little about the arrangements with Princess Yu in advance, but they also couldn't understand why Lord Cao's entourage had become murderers.
"Lord Cao, it was not your relatives who killed the murderer, but a person who looked exactly like him, that is, this person."
"What? …… Grandma's, the official said how could his relatives become such people, it turned out to be an impostor! Lord Cao suddenly seemed to come to life, and scolded the locked person before he was relieved.
"What about me?" The man was pleased, and so he confessed.
"In that case, why did you kill these young women who lived alone and take their hearts away?" Le Zhengyu struck while the iron was hot.
"Because I'm helping them! What better way to die faster than by simply taking a person's heart? Living alone like this, sooner or later one day you will die alone, you are alone before you die, if you still die alone in that house after death, I am afraid that no one will notice until the day when the bones stink, right?
Well, now that I am by their side before I die, even if they can't marry in the future, the government will naturally handle the affairs for them, and I have to thank you for them? Princess! That is also a complete life, with a beginning and an end. ”
"Then why do you want to involve your brother who has just recognized his siblings and has been so good to you? Now that he's not here, you're killing him? Le Zhengyu continued to ask in the surprised eyes of others.
"He? Don't worry, I don't have time to kill a fool, but feed him a pill that is enough to make him sleep for three days and three nights, and if he can't wake up, it depends on his creation.
As for what you are curious about, why? Hehe...... Because only by borrowing his hand can I easily wipe off those cinnabar marks! Beauty is what every woman pursues, and just a few hours after death, their souls have already fallen into samsara, and then they no longer need those beautiful marks.
If I don't wipe it off in time, stupidly waiting for you to come and catch me? Waiting for you sanctimonious officials to stop me from doing this great thing? Hahaha......"
The man let out a strange laugh, which was creepy and weird to hear...... The sound spread throughout the empty cell, as if a red-eyed demonic beast was about to break out of its cocoon, and the laughter bubbled up in Le Zhengyu's brain like a sharp roar above the nine heavens, which was enough to break people's eardrums.
"Don't you care about brotherhood?" Fan Zhuo, who had received a good education from the prince since he was a child, couldn't help but speak.
"Brother? Like that, a brother who has no ambition and is stupid all day long? I don't need to! If it weren't for the fact that he was using his position to achieve the most important step of hiding my identity, how could I have agreed to go home with that fool of his. ”
"Do you still have a conscience? You're afraid that he'll spoil you, and you want him to wake up! You, you, you...... It's too much! ”
Lord Cao, who was standing on the side, was completely shattered his self-confidence, he originally thought that he was an honest and honest parent official, but now not only did such a ridiculous thing appear in the area under his jurisdiction, but also insulted his identity as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
How many times has he been complacent because the prince has given him such an important position, and he can even be woken up in the middle of the night by laughter, and he thinks that being able to do things by his side is a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes, and now this disciple actually said...... Shoes? Lose a smiley face?
I can't bear it anymore! It's too much, Lord Cao stood aside and stared straight at the man with a "positive" face in front of him, he did such a thing that lost his conscience, and he still thought it was right?! It's a ruin!
Lord Cao is really sad for such a young man, who finally went astray, although doing things by his side, sometimes when he is too busy handling cases, he can properly lift his shoes for himself, but is this wrong?
Master Cao, who couldn't figure out this, had to get up and walk out of the cell, "Alas! I don't know if Du Jiang's child woke up or not, it's really providential! ”
Looking up at the somewhat gray sky, Lord Cao muttered to himself a few times, and then walked in the direction of Changchun Alley, the merchant next to him passed by, the rattle shook his head and echoed, and Lord Cao turned his head to look back.
It seems that when Du Jiang was ten years old, he also shook this bulging toy like this, happily telling himself that he would serve by his side in the future, just to repay his kindness.
