Chapter 40: The killer returns

Mo Wuxian thought for a moment, and asked Miao Xiong to inquire about the time when this batch of medicinal materials would arrive in the imperial capital.

Miao Xiong had just received Mo Wuxie's verbal benefits, and in order to get more favor from Mo Wuxie, he naturally devoted himself to doing this.

If you want to make people die to do things, you naturally have to give some actual sweetness.

After Miao Xiong left, Mo Wuxian went to Mo Xie's side again and told Mo Xie the truth, Mo Xie was naturally overjoyed, nothing could be more important than treating his son's disability, and readily agreed to Mo Wuxie's request.

As a result, Miao Xiong's father is also going to rise in the government and the opposition......

It wasn't until the evening that the tongueless boy finally woke up from his sleep.

Mo Wuxian was breathing in the courtyard, and when he heard the sound of the house, he immediately entered the room.

"Ahhh

"You're safe now, don't be afraid!" Mo Wuxian didn't know what he was doing, he could watch the horse leather shroud and ignore it, or he could watch people fall in a pool of blood and be indifferent, but he only hated the person who mutilated the child.

"He's just a kid!"

He felt a pang of regret in his heart.

The boy's eyes were full of fear, and after a glance, he curled up at the bottom of the table, not daring to come out no matter what Mo Wuxian said, for fear of being beaten!

After Mo Wuxie's many enlightenments, the boy finally crawled out of the bottom of the table, but his eyes still flickered from time to time, trying to avoid Mo Wuxie's gaze.

"Tell me, who hurt you? I'll give you the lead and bring that man to justice!"

Mo Wuxian nodded and shook his head when he saw him, gesturing in his hands.

The kid couldn't speak!

He took out another piece of paper and put it on the table, and asked the boy to write on it the person who had harmed him.

The boy couldn't write at all, but in his trembling trembling he drew something incomprehensible!

Looking at the messy paintings, with Mo Wuxie's strong comprehension, the most obvious thing seemed to be that these were a big jar!

Big jars?

Mo Wuxie thought lightly in his mouth, thinking of the boy's appearance curled up on the bed, and seemed to suddenly understand.

"Could it be that someone put him in a jar and raised him?"

This thought of his frightened himself, it was inhumane, only a mad man could do it!

Mo Wuxian comforted the boy for a long time, and the boy didn't seem to be afraid anymore, looking at Mo Wuxie's eyes with a sense of panic.

He knew that it would take a lot of effort to keep the boy completely out of fear.

Thinking of Qinghe, it seems that only the brilliance of women can bring a boy out of the darkness!

So, he found Qinghe again.

It's strange to say, this boy just worked for a while, and he started talking to Qinghe's gestures, and seemed to come out of the shadows all of a sudden.

Mo Wuxian was relieved.

He walked out of the Duke's palace and came to the no-man's alley where he had met the boy, and to his surprise, the eight bodies were gone, and the blood on the ground was gone.

Someone cleaned up the grounds!

The thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he was even more certain that it was organized crime.

Thinking of the boy's weak body, no matter how fast he ran, he wouldn't be able to run far, so the place where the child was mutilated should be near here.

He immediately looked left and right, his eyes like electricity.

There are more than 30 families here, but which one is it?

He knocked on a door, and an old face peeked out of it.

The old woman's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, her expression immediately showed excitement, she hugged Mo Wuxie, and cried: "My grandson, you are finally back!"

Mo Wuxian didn't push the old woman away, nor did he speak.

The old woman's crying became louder and louder, and Mo Wuxian had no choice but to comfort: "Old man, you are wrong, I am not your grandson, you look at me again!"

Mo Wuxian gently pushed the old woman away, the old woman looked at him carefully, suddenly hung Mo Wuxian's shoulders, and said excitedly: "You return my grandson, you return my grandson!"

Mo Wuxian suddenly realized that this old woman's grandson must have also disappeared, and when he thought of that boy, he couldn't help but think if it was this old woman's grandson?

This possibility is very high, so it was another reassurance, and the old woman's mood gradually stabilized, and she looked at Mo Wuxian again.

Through understanding, the old woman has a thirteen-year-old grandson who disappeared three months ago, and his son and daughter-in-law went out to look for it, but never came back!

The old woman cries every day, and her eyes are almost blind!

"Old man, to tell you the truth, I am the catcher of the Governor's Mansion, and I am investigating the disappearance of the child, have there been strangers here recently?"

The old woman thought for a while, pointed to a high-walled compound opposite, and said, "The old man has lived here for more than 70 years, and he is very familiar with this place. They rarely go out, and every time they go out, they buy some groceries!"

Mo Wuxian's eyes lit up when he looked at it, that courtyard was indeed very large, the wall was high enough, at least more than three meters, the gate of the courtyard was closed, and it seemed to be very quiet inside!

"Old man, I saved a child today, I don't know if Lu Dao is your grandson, you are waiting here, I will bring the child over to meet you!" After he finished speaking, he wanted to leave the old woman's dilapidated and low house, walked to the door and thought of something, and told the old woman to stare at the opposite side, and he would come back in a while!

So, the old woman sat at the door, looking at the other side without blinking.

When he returned with the boy, he found that the old woman was already sitting in the doorway, even her eyes were still staring at the other side.

When the boy saw the old woman, he threw himself into the old woman's arms, and the old woman's body suddenly fell!

"Ahh

The boy gestured, his face was very anxious, and tears flowed!

Mo Wuxian said that this boy is the grandson of the old woman, and the old woman is dead!

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

He pulled the boy away, pressed his fingers on the old woman's neck, and then his face changed abruptly, and he tore the clothes on the old woman's chest, and there was a five-finger blood mark on the old woman's wrinkled chest!

"Brother, the old man has murdered someone!"

Qinghe was sad for a while, and tears almost flowed out.

Mo Wuxian said: "I didn't expect that when I walked on the front foot, the old man was killed on the back foot, and there should be someone watching here all the time!"

He turned to look at the high wall, and felt a pang of regret in his heart, if he had gone in to investigate without taking into account the old woman's feelings for his grandson, maybe nothing would have changed. At the same time, he also speculated that the old woman's son and daughter-in-law should also be poisoned!

But there is no regret medicine in the world, not to mention that he just does bad things with good intentions.

He glanced at Qinghe and said solemnly: "Qinghe, hurry back to the Duke's Palace!"

After speaking, he put the old woman's body and the boy into the carriage and asked Xiao Xinzi to take them home.

"Brother, you have to be careful!"

Kiyoha was very worried about his comfort.

"Don't worry, the person who can kill me in this world has not yet been born!"

After sending Qinghe away, he has no worries and can let go and find out!

Stepping on the high wall, my eyes were immediately imprinted, and I immediately felt a strange feeling.

There are three houses within the high walls, the houses are dilapidated, and the window paper is barely intact. The yard is overgrown with weeds, and even a dry well has no well rope barrels, not like it has been inhabited!

There have been people in and out of such a yard before, or for a while, it is not possible to be what it is now, obviously, there will be clues here.

He threw himself down the wall, and the leg-high weeds on the ground immediately fell in all directions.

But at this moment, a strong sign of danger appeared in his heart, and his face changed drastically.

Then, a cloud of red light shot up from the weeds, startling a large number of weeds and dust, and rushed straight towards Mo Wuxie's chest.
