Liu Pingzhong clenched his fists, "In that case, the most important thing at the moment is to find those missing brides, where are they buried?" ”

"I believe that as long as the bones are found, and then they are buried, and someone is looking for someone to recite the scriptures, I believe that this case should be agreed to be resolved."

Li Huaiyun gently rubbed his fingers and wiped off the blood stains that had solidified on his fingers, "I hope so, I want to know, what is the purpose of the butcher to capture those brides?" He came from another county, begged for a living in Kyoto, and had a wife and children at home, so he didn't know the consequences of doing such an unreasonable thing? ”

"So, there must be someone behind him, and the relationship with this person is a threat or cooperation."

"The case is still full of suspicions."

Liu Pingzhong agreed with his statement, "In this way, your previous speculation that the identity of the person behind it is by no means ordinary, and it should be correct." ”

Then he sighed, "That butcher's family was brutally killed, and they have been dead for so long, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything anymore!" ”

Li Huaiyun spread his hands and responded helplessly, "This is the most troublesome part of the case, the butcher's whole family has been wiped out, if you want to investigate, you can only go through the file, but there is a file, it is difficult to guarantee, all the clues in it have been written." ”

"And this murder scene is not well preserved, and then it is rented by people to slaughter livestock, so that the hidden clues will be covered."

Liu Pingzhong cast a regretful look at Li Huaiyun, "Yes! If you could have been at the scene at that time, this case would not have been sealed by the Criminal Department and would have become an unsolved case. ”

He asked uncertainly, "Is it possible to crack the case based on the file alone!" ”

Li Huaiyun shook his head slightly, "It's too difficult, if there is a scene, there will definitely be clues, and you can slowly explore it, but if you only have a file, it's completely based on imagination, and it's really not easy to do." ”

Liu Pingzhong shook his head lightly and sighed, "Is there really no other way?" ”

Li Huaiyun's expression was slightly gloomy, "No! Now we can only hope for this dossier, which is the last resort! There's nothing else to do but give it a try. ”

"Let's go! If you go to the Criminal Department and check the file, you may be able to find some clues. ”

Li Huaiyun and Liu Pingzhong walked out of the slaughterhouse, and the sky was already bright, and the sky was blue and cloudless.

The butcher saw the two of them come out, waved at the men, and said, "All right! Work. A few of his helpers hurried past them and into the slaughterhouse.

"How's the check? Two adults! The butcher's voice was high-pitched, with a hint of contempt.

Liu Pingzhong's attitude towards this butcher was quite disdainful, and he snorted lightly,

If it weren't for the matter at hand, he would definitely cure such a rude guy, and if he didn't give him a look, he still felt that he was superior?

Li Huaiyun didn't think much of this attitude, whether it was good or bad, it couldn't affect his mood, and it didn't matter what could affect him except for silver and women.

"Nothing came of it!"

"That's right! There was nothing in the first place, and after so many years, even if there was something, it was long gone. ”

When Li Huaiyun heard this, he felt that this butcher should know something, and he became interested for a while, "What you said is very reasonable!" Could you have done this murder? ”

"My lord, you are laughing at this, but you can't wronged people for no reason!" A hint of panic flashed across the butcher's face.

Li Huaiyun looked at the butcher, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Since you still understand quite well, I want to ask you a few questions." ”

The butcher clenched his fists, as if he regretted a little why he had asked for so many words, and if he didn't respond now, wouldn't it be even more reasonable to be suspicious, "Even if you say hello, my lord, I will tell you the truth, and I will never hide anything." ”

"When did you move here?"

"Two years ago!"

"The last butcher who slaughtered here, did he leave anything behind, such as knives or chains or hooks?"

"Knives? The knives I bring with me are much sharper and easier to use than them, so why use their stuff? And the chains and hooks are all put in this kind of house, so they are directly used! Of course I don't spend money on a new one. ”

"Nothing else?" Li Huaiyun looked around, "For example, those carts and other items used for transportation." ”

"Nope!" The butcher shook his head, "There are some things that are easy to use with your own talents. ”

"You took care of all the things of the previous butcher? Thrown? ”

The butcher pointed forward, "Not really, most of the things left here have been thrown at the back of the slaughterhouse, and some of them are still useful." ”

"Too lazy to deal with these useless things."

This guy is quite sincere, Li Huaiyun hugged his fists and saluted, "Then thank you very much!" ”

They walked to the back of there.

"Wait a minute!" The butcher stopped them, "What are you going to do?" Now that I've checked it, there's nothing here. Just get out of here and don't disturb our work! ”

"After checking that pile of discarded things, we will leave and disturb your work, so don't worry!"

Liu Pingzhong frowned, and finally couldn't help it, and said loudly, "Hey! Your attitude is a little better! We are the Demon Slayer Division, responsible for investigating the case, when we can leave, we will decide for ourselves, what else is there, even if it is a god, we are not qualified to speak here. ”

"If you dare to continue facing us again, wow! See if I don't let people seal you up. ”

The butcher was taken aback by the sudden warning, and his voice had a bookish flavor, not rough, but also righteous and stern.

He stood over there, not daring to say a word, losing his previous momentum.

Li Huaiyun and Liu Pingzhong went to the backyard of the slaughterhouse, where a lot of slaughtering tools were indeed thrown.

In this messy garbage heap, there is a thick layer of oil on the surface, and some metal objects appear to be shiny.

Liu Pingzhong went around, and finally found some body parts in the corner, he didn't say a word, went directly inside, and prepared to take things out.

Li Huaiyun saw that the other party had discovered something, and immediately ran forward to help Liu Pingzhong,

It was a transport made of wood, the wood on which had become moldy and discolored, and there were many broken and broken things on the cart, and if it had been used more violently, I am afraid it would have been torn apart.

He took a few steps inside, then directly with his hands, pulled the cart out and threw it on the ground.

Then Liu Pingzhong walked around the car a few times, roughly comparing the size with his arms, "This transport truck can indeed put down a person, as long as it is covered with cloth or other Dongxu, then it is certain that it can be able to hide people's eyes and ears." ”

Li Huaiyun bent down and carefully observed the cart for some time, and he found red filaments on the edge of the cart, some rough places.

He carefully took out the filament, "This filament should be on the phoenix robe worn by the woman." ”

Despite looking for this subtle piece of evidence, he still felt quite amiss.

Liu Pingzhong walked up, glanced at the fabric in his hand, and said bluntly, "It seems that we guessed correctly!" This exterminated butcher does have something to do with that rumor. ”

"Then there is only one last problem, which is that when they put the bride in the car, they will either faint or be stunned, so as not to be noticed by the sound."

Li Huaiyun did not respond, there is no problem with such a judgment itself, in his cognition, the biggest problem is probably that after the person disappeared, did the government not investigate any suspicious people?

Why do you have to search the homes of everyone present.

"Out of an abundance of caution, I'd like to see the file of this murder case."

Liu Pingzhong nodded, "Let's go!" At the Criminal Department, there should be a record of this case. ”

They didn't say anything, and left the slaughterhouse directly and went to the office of the criminal department.

Li Huaiyun also felt a little funny, these days, he is either running to Dali Temple or running to the Criminal Department, as if he has become a criminal officer investigating the case.

O iniquity! I'm still thinking about discussing life with the girl from the Teaching Workshop Division, and by the way, I can cultivate and see if I can break through the Hedao realm.

Now that the case is entangled, there is no chance to even take the time to come out and welcome the reward! If you know you should have stayed in bed for a few more days.

Liu Pingzhong saw that the look on his face was a little abnormal, so he was concerned, "What's wrong?" Bad face! Is there something else wrong with this case? ”

Li Huaiyun snorted, "This case always makes me feel very strange. ”

"What's so strange?"

"The clues all have very clear directions, and the direction of speculation is roughly fine, but it just seems to be very straight!"

"Isn't that good? To sum up, the case is very simple and does not require much brains. ”

Li Huaiyun had an indescribable doubt, "Good is good!" I'm afraid of missing something. ”

"What can be missed? You're thinking too much! Liu Pingzhong comforted that such a straightforward case is the simplest.

"I hope so!"

They arrived at the Criminal Department and asked the guards outside to come in to report, and after a while, an official from the Criminal Department came out and saluted the two politely.

"Why is Li Gongzi here?" The officer looked flattering and asked.

Liu Pingzhong was quite surprised, after all, he was the helmsman of the Demon Slaying Division, and the Criminal Department had also traveled many times, so he didn't expect this official to ask Li Huaiyun first.

Since this kid solved the case in the palace, he subdued the monster in the mansion of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and this formation should have become famous in the palace.

It's amazing! This young man, listening to Si Zheng, stepped into the realm of Hedao in a short period of time, and he is also quite familiar with the methods of investigating the case, and he has a bright future in the Demon Slaying Division.

If you cultivate more, it is not impossible to control the Demon Slayer Division and become the secretary of the government in the future.

Li Huaiyun clasped his fists and saluted, "I'm here just to check the case file!" I don't know if it's going to be passed on. ”

"There's no need to pass it on, just come in with me." The officer immediately made a gesture of request.

Li Huaiyun and Liu Pingzhong glanced at each other, and then remembered that the book of the Criminal Department had been cleaned up, and no one had taken office yet.

They walked towards the Punishment Department.

Liu Pingzhong opened his mouth and asked, "Have you already been selected for the position of Shangshu of the Criminal Department?" "He still has some friendship with this criminal department Shangshu, and after learning that the other party is demonized, he was still quite shocked, and he never thought that this guy would actually become a monster.

is also glad that he didn't get very close, he wondered why he didn't find anything strange about this criminal department book,

"It's currently being decided! The most promising should be a student of Taifu, who once served as the governor of the southwest! The official seemed to realize that he had said a little too much, and immediately closed his mouth, "But who it is, it is still up to the emperor to decide, and we will just talk about it casually!" ”

He coughed lightly, and then led the two of them to the warehouse where the files were stored in the Criminal Department.

"Why did he say half of it and then stop it?"

Liu Pingzhong laughed indifferently, "It's nothing, but I don't want to say more, after all, there are many people, in case you talk to other people and talk about this matter, this is also troublesome, after all, when the emperor is the second grade, the emperor has not been selected, you will help him choose!" ”

Li Huaiyun probably understood the meaning, all the forces in this position are considering, and the emperor also wants to balance the forces, so whoever has the highest voice will make the emperor more vigilant.

That's also a good explanation!

The treasury of the Criminal Department is made to face north and enjoys enough light, so it is dry and damp inside, and a copy of the cases of each prefecture and county will also be kept here.

On the desk in the middle, a furnace of incense was burned, so that there was a trace of aroma in it.

Li Huaiyun stood at the desk and asked the official to find the file of the butcher's murder case.

"This place is very exquisite!" He looked around, and the materials and placement of the cabinets in it seemed to be very regular, as if they were arranged in the direction of the five elements and eight trigrams, like a certain formation.

"That's natural, this treasury is according to the design of the predecessor Shangshu, furnishings, this guy is proficient in the five elements of gossip, feng shui numerology! Therefore, the furnishings and decorations are quite elegant. ”

Liu Pingzhong said with a little regret, "It's a pity that it's actually demonized, which I don't understand!" ”

"There's nothing I don't understand, he may have been used by the black-robed man!" Li Huaiyun frowned, "However, I don't feel pity!" ”

"Oh! What do you mean by that? ”

"The secretary of the criminal department should be fair and strict, upright, well-organized, logical, a guy who believes in feng shui, is not suitable for such a high position!"

Liu Pingzhong was quite surprised by this, after all, trusting feng shui was a common thing throughout the ages, why did he have such a bad comment in his eyes.

"It's normal!"

Li Huaiyun explained, "It's a normal thing, but as the head of the criminal department, you should trust your own inferences and judgments, the theory of feng shui is just a personal behavior, and the treasury here should not use any gossip feng shui, but use the most direct way to sort,"

He pointed to the official who was looking for the file, "He hasn't found it yet, I'm afraid that the year and date recorded on this cabinet are stored according to the gossip feng shui." ”

"Except for the monk himself, who often comes here, I'm afraid that the newcomers don't know anything about this situation."

"That's why I feel that it's not a pity, it's normal for the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to be bewitched by the black-robed man."
