Chapter 40: Destroying the Door One
Yunzhou ran over, pointed to the jujube tree in the courtyard, and said, "Eat dates, eat... Jujube. "Don't eat it, eat jujube pills, why eat that, buy you red bean cake, eat it."
I can't come back empty-handed, the last time he told me to go home empty-handed, I was lost.
But he doesn't say it, he never shows negative emotions to me, it's too difficult for a fool, the guards Jia and Xin look at him, he will beat them if he is unhappy, although he doesn't use martial arts, his fist is not small, and it still hurts to smash people.
The guard Jia said that Yunzhou was afraid that I would throw him away, so he didn't dare to lose his temper with me.
His mind did not recover, and I followed his condition every day, and his caution was not intellectual, but only driven by instinct and intuition.
The eldest man made him feel like a pitiful little boy for a snack, and now that the principal of farming is enough, the cost of eating and drinking is nothing, so I will feed him as much as possible.
Although he kept eating every day, he didn't eat anything expensive in the end, fried chestnuts with sugar, sugar gourds, and eight-treasure porridge with peanuts and melon seeds.
The most expensive ones are those lo-mei, but to be honest, the prices in this world are really not high.
Converted to the price of my original world, all the food is too affordable.
Especially snacks, dried tofu, edamame, salt peanuts, including dim sum nuts, that are all rotten cabbage prices.
When Yunzhou saw the snack in my hand, his eyes lit up instantly.
The guard Jia took it for him and opened the paper bag, and the guard Xin Hehe smiled and came over and asked, "Madam, what did you gain today?" Is it a victory and success? ”
"Not really, it's just a little rewarding." I touched the bamboo tube hanging on my waist and asked him to take care of Yunzhou, I have something to find the Lord of the Lu Alliance.
Nowadays, I don't need to make an appointment in advance which yard I want to enter in Lu's house, and when the maid sees which yard I enter, she will run into the house and tell the master.
I arrived in front of the small courtyard of the Lord of the Lu League, and the guards who guarded the gate ran in to report.
The Lord of the Lu League has a good complexion, and he is basically already good.
During his poisoning, he had accumulated a lot of affairs, and he was busy preparing for the wedding in the past two days, and he had just started to take care of these when he was sick, and the Lu family did not dare to withdraw the daily tonic medicine for him.
When Lord Lu Meng saw me coming, he put down the pen in his hand, and his bookcase was full of all kinds of books and papers and 'documents' that needed his instructions.
"Lord of the Lu Alliance." I went into the house and said hello.
"Doctor Tranquility." Lord Lu insisted on calling me like this, refusing to call me by my name.
"There is one thing, maybe it is related to the recent serial murders, the Lord of the Lu League is well-informed, I want you to take a look." I untied the bamboo tube from my waist, and the sleepy insects in it had been killed by me, and they were no longer a threat to people.
"It's ......"
"This is taken from the body of a teenager, he was poisoned, he fell asleep all day, this worm has the ability to keep people awake for a long time, I want you to see, what is it, where does it come from, and who can keep it?"
Lord Lu got up and walked around the bookcase to my side.
"Don't worry, it's dead, and it won't hurt anyone again." I poured out the worms from the bamboo tube and poured them on a blank piece of paper on the bookcase.
The bug is the size of a peanut and has black patterns on its body.
Lord Lu took a closer look, thought carefully for a while, and said that he had not seen it with his own eyes, but when he was young, he had heard of a kind of bug.
Or maybe he had heard of a person who loved to raise insects, and unlike the Golden Gu Society, this person was not raising insects, but like a collector of insects.
The strange insects in the world, this person has a collection.
In his collection, there are insects that can make people laugh, make people cry, make people sleep for a long time, and make people swim in dreams.
This person's collection of bugs was targeted by some people in the rivers and lakes, and after testing, it was confirmed that they were real and effective, so they wanted to buy bugs from this person that were useful to them.
This man disagreed, perhaps guessing that these people were not scheming, and that they were buying insects to harm people, and resolutely refused to sell his collection.
As a result, it led to the disaster of killing, these people are really not good people, and they can't buy it to kill all the more than 30 members of this person's family and take away all the insects.
"This incident caused a sensation in the entire martial arts at that time, and Lin Yanbin, the leader of the martial arts alliance at that time, sent someone to thoroughly investigate the murderer of the murder case, but unfortunately after more than two years of investigation, nothing was found, and finally it could only be shelved."
"Since then, there has been no strange insect harm?"
"Nope."
It doesn't make sense to kill more than 30 people in a family, but they don't need to rob people afterwards.
Killing people and robbing insects was a matter of decades ago, and today there are only a series of incidents of strange insects killing people, which can only show that either this group of people is cautious and has done a lot of things to harm people with insects, but they have never been exposed.
Either they were dissatisfied with the insects of the year, and based on the collection of insects, it took many years to cultivate, and now the insects that can kill people invisibly are no longer the 'entertainment insects' that were only for viewing and talking about back then.
"Okay, you're busy, I won't bother."
"If Doctor An wants to investigate this case, the Lu family and the Wulin League should do their best to help, if there is anything that needs help, just mention it."
"I will, farewell."
Although I received the money from the white peony, during the martial arts conference, such a vicious murder incident occurred that was terrible for the entire martial arts league and the Lu family.
As long as someone can catch the murderer and no one dies for no reason in the city, the Wulin League and the Lu family will support it.
Of course, there are too many people chasing the murderer for the bounty, and it is impossible for the Lu family to treat everyone preferentially, just like the yamen can provide autopsy records, but they still have to queue up to borrow them.
As soon as the Wulin League's bounty order was issued, it was equivalent to installing countless humanoid surveillance in Yuancheng.
Every night, the rooftops, the street corners, and all the places where people can hide are full of people.
Just waiting for the murderer to come out and harm people, this trick worked very well, and the city was safe and sound for two days in a row, and no new victims appeared.
But according to the clues I got from my investigation, the murderers didn't need to sneak into their rooms at night.
As long as there is contact during the day, no matter how many people squat at night, the murderer will not be seen.
Guard Xin was particularly curious if I had found any clues, so he cleaned up Yunzhou and slept with him, and circled around me.
At the beginning of the investigation, I didn't want to say too much, so I told him to go to bed quickly, and when the murderer was caught, I would tell him the process.
The next morning, a little maid came to talk to me, saying that someone was waiting for me at the back door of the Lu house.
Ah Zhao and the white peony master and servant are not people who can keep their mouths shut, and they asked me to investigate the case, which is already a well-known thing in the house.
The maids, servants, housekeepers, and nurses in the house gathered together to discuss when they had time, and looked for clues to the progress of solving the case by observing my daily life.
Each of them is like Sherlock Holmes, reasoning from the head of the way.
For example, when I came back yesterday with a bamboo tube, they guessed that it must contain evidence related to the case.
Today a stranger came to my door, and they guessed that this person was the witness I found.
They whispered when they had the opportunity, but I didn't know that I heard them all.
