From the end of the alley to the end of the alley, Ye Zhao and the two chatted while walking, the sun was sinking in the west, and the afterglow projected on the edge of the sky turned into a colorful sunset among the clouds, which was very beautiful.

The heat slowly dissipates and the evening breeze blows through, which is refreshing.

Zhao Bai is not only a native of Beijing, but also a wealthy nobleman, and he has seen and heard much more than ordinary people.

"The area east of the city is basically full of foreign population, and most of them are more than 30 years ago, you know?" Recently, as Teng Chong investigated the suspects, the question jumped to Yeats.

Zhao Bai nodded, "Of course I know." He turned to Yeats again, "Thirty years ago, did you hear of the Witch Rain Rebellion?" ”

She shook her head.

After Yeats arrived in the capital, he always went to bookstores and bookstores to read books, just to learn about the Great Wei Dynasty, and she and Zhao Bai also met in bookstores.

In addition to the convenience of his identity, Zhao Bai is also well-read, and he must have some understanding of the Wuyu Rebellion thirty years ago.

"Can you tell me?" Yeats asked.

Dance to ask God to relieve the sick, the confused, the calamity as a witch.

From the perspective of modern people, witches are actually healers in ancient societies, except that they used herbs to cure physical ailments and used jumping gods to relieve people's fear of the unknown.

Thirty years ago, the first emperor Shunchang was sick when he was about to give birth, so he found a folk witch to enter the palace to help the queen give birth, as a result, the witch entered the palace not only did not help the queen to give birth, but also made the queen die of dystocia.

Emperor Shunchang was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, only to find that the important minister had exchanged terms with the sorcerer in order to obtain the throne for his daughter who was a concubine, and the sorcerer helped him get rid of the queen, and the retainer built the Hall of Eternal Life for the sorcerer.

After the investigation, Emperor Shunchang was furious, not only beheaded the important ministers but also punished his three clans, and banned witches from then on.

When hundreds of important ministers were killed, heavy rain fell from the sky, and people called this palace rebellion the witch rain rebellion.

"This is the reason why the first emperor forbade witches and believed in Buddhism?"

Zhao Bai nodded.

Yeats sighed, "This Buddha also believes too much." "Sheng to the temple not only annexed a large amount of land, but also absorbed tens of thousands of adult men to become monks, in the ancient society with extremely low productivity, this is a proper loss of productivity!

Zhao Bai suddenly asked: "Do you have a clue about the ten limb cases?" ”

Yeats came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Bai.

Zhao Bai smiled indifferently: "It's inconvenient, it's okay." ”

"It's not that it's inconvenient." Anyway, I want to sort out the case, agree to him to come along, and I hope he can remind him that Yeats generously stated his analysis.

"I've read all the files of ten cases, men and women, old and young, and I haven't found a pattern among the people killed, which is incredible." Yeats fell into the limbs he saw yesterday, "the limbs were very swollen with blisters, and the dismemberments, the fragments of bone and flesh were infinitely magnified, and they were miserable......"

The thin and weak Ye Pingshi looked into the distance, his bright eyes were full of justice, and Zhao Bai listened quietly.

"Such a dismemberment, the murderer of her must be a young man, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two, thin, looks a little malnourished, mentally ill, withdrawn, does not like to socialize with people, most of the time likes to stay at home alone, but after turning over the previous ten cases, I have to overturn this conclusion, the murderer seems to have become a middle-aged man, he is of medium stature, slightly fat, sociable, will coax people around, but once the killer is killed, his face is full of flesh, his face is hateful, and it is terrifying."

Could a serial killer be two people? Yeats was wondering, is it because there is no evidence, and only based on the case file, is such a criminal profile just speculation? Or even something like reasoning?

Zhao Bai saw him come back to his senses, "Maybe the murderers are two or three people?" ”

"Eleven cases, not leaking, failed to crack Dali Temple, the murderer is more than one person is unlikely to be, even if the husband and wife, brothers commit the crime together, it is possible to leave clues that Dali Temple can take advantage of because of the lack of thoroughness."

"One person, then?" Zhao Bai smiled slightly.

Yeats shook his head again: "Or two." ”

But what is the relationship between the two? What kind of relationship can make them commit eleven cases together without revealing their pride.

Zhao Bai looked at the alley, "Do you suspect the Mei family's shop?" ”

Yeats was silent.

Zhao Bai smiled slightly, "The carriage came all the way from Dali Temple, from the south of the city to the east of the city, until here, you didn't get off, not only that, but also took a leisurely turn here for two or three times." ”

Yeats did not deny that ten cases, ten places, were placed on a map, like a circle, and each place where the limb was thrown here was like the radius of a circle, and no matter which one was about the same distance.

The geographical location of Mei's shop happens to be the center of this circle, and the alley where the center of the circle is located, both extending in all directions, and not in the downtown area, people return home at night, and the independent alley mouth shop is like a lonely island, independent and convenient, very convenient.

"But I didn't think what they were going to do with their heads? And where did those torsos go? If these two points cannot be confirmed, there is no way to arrest someone. ”

Zhao Bai slowly opened the folding fan: "In ancient times, the head could be made into a vessel for sacrifice. ”

Sacrifice? Yeats's mind suddenly flashed a legend about the Esoteric Religion - the Sister Drum.

Don't......

Yeats instantly broke out in a cold sweat on his back, his scalp was numb, and he looked at the Mei family shop in shock, could the meat and internal organs of those torsos be mixed with pork and sold?

She suddenly ran into the corner and vomited.

"Brother Ye...... Brother Ye ......" Yang Fuquan was so frightened that he hurriedly held Yeats's arms with both hands.

Zhao Bai looked at the cool people who came around the alley with a smile: "He has heat stroke." ”

The people who poured over saw the officials of Dali Temple suffering from heat stroke, and they all sympathized: "It's hard to do it for these officials on such a hot day......"

"Yes, it's not so easy to catch the murderer with just two hands and feet!"

"That's it...... Officials are also human beings...... Not a god......"

……

Yeats was put on the carriage by Yang Zhao and the others, "Quick, hurry up and find Master Pei." ”

This is going to arrest someone.

Ever since I heard that Ye Pingshi and Lord Zhao went out to investigate the case together, his grandfather's face was as heavy as ice, Bai Lang and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and even the princess was careful when she arrived.

"What's going on?" Princess Ning'an came to her son's study, "Why don't you go over for dinner?" She deliberately ignored her son's stinky face.

Pei Jingning took the book and flipped through it page after page, without even giving the princess and the old lady face.

Hey! Princess Ning'an is happy!

I feel that my son who was seven or eight years old is back again, and this little temper can be dragged by it!

Bai Lang wailed in his heart, Princess, Princess, your son likes men, do you know?

Bai Lang and Mo Song looked at each other and silently withdrew from the master's study.

Only the two of them were left in the room.

Princess Ning'an looked at her son carefully, "The face is spring, the red luan stars are moving, this is a ......"

"Mother-" Pei Jingning reluctantly put down the book in his hand, and without interrupting, the princess of a country became a princess of the rivers and lakes.

Princess Ning'an giggled, "Did I say it?" ”

Pei Jingning got up and walked around to his mother, "I'm hungry." "Help his mother to eat.

Ning An was not interrupted by him, "The more you avoid talking about it, the more someone in your heart is, say quickly, it's that little lady, mother is looking for someone to tell you about the matchmaker." ”

The son finally has someone he likes, of course Princess Ning'an has to take the initiative to Zhang Luo, if she doesn't Zhang Luo, this kid will become an old cow.

"I either go to Dali Temple every day, or go to the palace to see the saint, how can I have the opportunity to meet any little lady?"

"Is this to blame me for not giving you Zhang Luo?" Princess Ning'an said: "Okay, okay, I will arrange it for you for my mother immediately, and I will ...... tomorrow."

"Mother......" Pei Jingning looked at his mother with a resentful expression.

"Really?" Princess Ning'an did not give up.

"Really."

"And what are you throwing a tantrum about?"

"I'm just tired and don't want to move?"

"So?"

"Hmm."

Princess Ning'an's intuition was wrong, and she didn't want to let go of her son, "You said ...... panic"

At the door, Bai Lang asked: "Master, Ye Pingshi ......"

"Nope!"

"...... "It's really a business!" This Ye Pingshi seems to have offended his son? Princess Ning'an sighed in disappointment, okay, if the camellia party is not held tomorrow, then in a few days, anyway, I want to invite the best little ladies in the capital over and let my son pick and choose, maybe I will meet the right one.

Bai Lang held back his desire to complain, risked being punished, and replied again, "Go back...... Back to the master, Lord Ye ......"

"Let him wait." Pei Jingning helped the princess out of the study, passed by Bai Lang, and ruthlessly spit out three words.

Guan Jian is, Ye Ping didn't come, it was Yang Fuquan's stupid boy who came, if you let him stand until tomorrow morning, he won't be tired.

Bai Lang was tired, followed behind his master, and secretly scolded in his heart, he knew that the surname Ye was not a good thing, and sooner or later he would cause trouble, no, the matter would come, and his grandfather even had to eat Zhao Bai's flying vinegar.

Realizing what he was thinking, Bai Lang was so frightened that he quickly stopped, and secretly patted his heart, not to mention men, even women have never touched them, and the owner is definitely not that kind of person.

He thought about it, a twenty-three-year-old man, whether male or female, had never done anything, was this man still normal?

Suddenly, the master likes men, and Bai Lang seems to be able to accept it, it's better than doing nothing!

Teng Chong knew that Yeats had identified the murderer, and seeing that Yang Fuquan had not invited Pei Shaoqing, he waited in the inn, "If Pei Shaoqing doesn't see Xiaoquanzi and can't catch anyone today, will the two murderers escape?" ”

Yeats shook his head, "I didn't startle the snake, I shouldn't." ”

"What if?"

The official accent surnamed Pei is too heavy, don't you work at night?

Yeats vomited and had no energy, "I'll sleep for a while." ”

"Okay, you sleep first, I'll wait for Xiao Quanzi."

Yeats yawned alone, but did not climb into bed.

Teng Chong was puzzled, "You sleep, I will sit on the side and it will not affect your sleep." ”

"You sit, I can't sleep." Yeats was unceremonious.

Teng Chong was dissatisfied, "I said that you are a good person, but this is not good, we are all big men, what are you afraid of!" ”

Yeats sneered: "I just broke my sleeve not long ago, I'm afraid." ”

"You ......" Teng Chong died of anger, "Lao Tzu is a pure man." After that, he went out and waited in a huff.

Yeats hurriedly closed the door, "If you can't wait for Xiao Quanzi to come, you can do it yourself in the next room." "She's going to sleep.

Is it a great ability and a big temper? Teng Chong looked at the closed door behind him, shook his head helplessly and smiled, and said in his heart, such a murderous murderer has been found out by him, so what's wrong with a little petty temperament, Ye is happy to get used to him.

Teng Chong smiled proudly, went to the next room, and waited to fall asleep.

Yang Fuquan looked thin and white, like a rich boy who had never suffered anything, but waiting for someone in the dew was a piece of cake for him, and after waiting for half an hour, seeing that no one was coming, he sat down behind the stone lion, and fell asleep while sitting.

Having a meal at the princess's house, from beginning to end, let's not talk about how many dishes to serve, let's just say that the family of three finally sat together, and it was all about time.

When Pei Jingning returned to his yard and washed up, it was midnight after this toss.

"What's the matter?" He seemed to finally remember that there was such a person.

Bai Lang saluted in a regular manner, "Back to the master, Lord Ye said that there is a suspected murderer in the limb case, but it takes an order from Dali Temple to go to the suspect's house to search the scene of the crime." ”

"Then let him in."

Bai Lang stood still.

Pei Jingning raised his eyebrows, his face was impatient and bright.

"Back to ...... Back to my lord, it was not Ye Pingshi who came, it was his little subordinate Yang Fuquan. ”

Pei Jingning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "I really think of myself as a character." ”

Bai Lang immediately agreed, "Master, or tomorrow will cut his official position." "Let him go where he came from, so as not to seduce his master.

"Get out."

Bai Lang fled in fright.

"Mosong—"

"Adult ......"

"Prepare the carriage."

Bai Lang poked his head out desperately, "My lord, where are you going so late?" ”

Pei Jingning glanced over, and Bai Lang shrank his head like a turtle again.

Where else can I go? Of course, look for Ye Pingshi! I haven't seen you in an afternoon, but it's like every other autumn. Bai Lang's inner drama can write a book.

I slept until dawn and finally regained my spirits.

Yeats rubbed his eyes, got up, and was about to go to the toilet, when a girl suddenly appeared, "My lord—"

"Pearl?" Yeats looked at the room as if he had seen a ghost, yes, it was the inn where she stayed last night, "Why are you here?" ”

"Master asked me to come over and serve Lord Ye."

Why are you serving her, Yeats was horrified, "don't bother my sister." "It's so inconvenient to even go to the toilet, it's so tiring.

When Yeats washed up and dressed and left the room, he found everyone waiting in the inn lobby.

She's not good at all, she's very ...... For a while, she couldn't describe the inexplicable atmosphere between her and Big Brother Pei.

Come on, the case is serious.

Mei's shop was suddenly surrounded by officials, and the people in the whole alley trembled.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know!"

Without saying a word, Teng Chong stepped forward and kidnapped Mei's, "What are you doing?" Is there any royal law......"

Mei, who usually looks like a rich woman with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, struggled, and the flesh on her face flew up.

Yeats sighed, her criminal profile was not wrong.

"Lord Lu, Lord Yan, let's go in."
