12 Jiahe Mystery Case (1)

Although Jiahe Town is bustling on weekdays, most of them are temporary merchants, and there are only a few hundred residents of the town who have lived here for more than three generations. When worshipping the ancestors last night, it was these people who went to the ancestral hall. Right now, the people from the Criminal Investigation Department have brought back a few suspects and are about to interrogate them one by one.

When Yun Zhi followed the two officials to pass under the corridor, he was passing by a group of people, two of whom were wearing criminal prosecutorial robes, and the person who was detained by them in the middle was a young man, who looked sloppy and seemed to be chattering a little. When Yun Zhi passed by, he was listening to the words in his mouth: "Retribution, it is all retribution......

Yun Zhi recognized him as the young man who laughed madly after the first thunderbolt hit the mayor last night, and after taking two steps, he couldn't help but turn around to look at him, and saw that his steps were flat and steady, which was not consistent with the performance on his face, and his heart became suspicious.

The official beside him had already opened his mouth to urge, Yun Zhi turned around and continued to follow them forward.

。

The Jiahe Mansion is not big, even the chief secretary of the Shangguan is only five people in total, the town is quite peaceful on weekdays, even if there is any major event, less than sixty miles to the northeast is the capital Luozhou, and the adults of the Criminal Prosecutor's Office will arrive in an hour or two, not to mention that there is a team of Gyeonggi guards stationed less than twenty miles west of the town.

Whoever dares to make a mistake in Jiahe Town from the south to the north is to slap Yuandu Luozhou in the face.

This is the first time that Jiahe Town has had such a big thing since the founding of Dayuan in the 113 years since the founding of the country, and this sudden slap fell, and it also brought the theory of ghosts and gods.

Although Lu Shenjun didn't want to believe in any ghosts and gods, the people below were more panicked than the other. But this is actually no wonder of them, most of these people are from the side houses of the Luozhou family, and they were thrown to the Criminal Prosecution Department by their families for training, and few of them have real skills. The few he picked out and brought with him were already the most qualified ones in the Criminal Prosecution Division.

Originally, he could still talk about what ancient sages could bluff them, but now this group of young masters watched the thunder fall on the mayor of the town that day, and coincidentally, the number of times the thunder fell was no more, no less, just five times.

The number "five" is very sensitive to the current Jiahe Town. Five days ago, five murders and five people died, and anyone would subconsciously feel that those five thunders were a punishment for the murderer. Including Lu Shenjun himself.

So he interrogated the young man who shouted "retribution" under the altar overnight, but unfortunately, the man could not say anything and had no evidence except to insist that the mayor was the murderer of the five murders. The rest of the townsfolk were the exact opposite, almost all of them saying that the mayor was a good man, and gave plenty of examples to prove it.

Lu Shenjun interrogated all night, and the parents of the residents of the town wrote more than 30 pages. At dawn, he decided to go back to the scene to look for clues. When the door was opened, a group of people rushed in, and a middle-aged and slightly chubby man came forward and knelt down in front of Lu Shenjun, followed by three or five men and women dressed differently, looking like people who had been walking the streets all year round.

Behind this group of people, two criminal prosecutors ran in, both of them looked dazed, shouted urgently, and opened their arms to stop this group of businessmen, Lu Shenjun saw it, and knew that the two of them must have been taken advantage of when they were napping outside.

After this group of people entered the door, they shouted that they knew the perpetrators of the five murders, and took out a blood-stained money bag as evidence, insisting that it was three women and two men who came to the town together five days ago to commit the crime, and asked Lord Lu to handle the case impartially and arrest several people. They talked nonsense, and Lu Shenjun listened to it for a while before he understood who the gang of crimes they were referring to.

After thinking for a while, Lu Shenjun sent someone to arrest the person back.

。

The two officials led Yun Zhi to the door of a quiet room, pushed the door open, and Lu Shenjun was sitting at the table drinking tea, looking leisurely. Seeing that someone was coming, he raised his hand and poured another cup of tea, and gently pushed it forward.

"Sit."

Lu Shenjun didn't even raise his eyelids from beginning to end, Yun Zhi saw his demeanor and tone, and he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, but he still pretended not to know anything, and learned how Lu Yunzhi should greet him.

"Second brother, why did you arrest us in prison early in the morning!" After Yun Zhi sat down, he was slightly coquettish.

Lu Shenjun smiled in a low voice and raised his eyes to stare at her, "If it was Lu Yunzhi in the past, he would not have asked such a stupid question." ”

Yun Zhi was stunned and secretly screamed that it was not good, but Lu Shenjun said again: "I think it is because I still have residual diseases after falling into the water a few times before, let's go back and find a doctor to take a look again." ”

It sounded like he was making amends for her, but Yun Zhi didn't dare to take his words easily, as long as she remained silent, he wouldn't be able to catch the evidence to "convict".

Lu Shenjun lowered his head and took a sip of tea, tasted it carefully for a long time, and said, "Do you still plan to go back?" ”

Yun Zhi lowered his eyebrows, his fingers tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, and replied in a low voice: "I want to find my sister first." ”

Lu Shenjun poured tea for a moment, "You ran out to find your sister?" ”

Yun Zhi quietly raised his eyes, and saw that his expression was slightly dark, obviously misunderstood, but this was exactly the result she wanted, so she hummed softly and didn't speak again.

Lu Shenjun was silent for a while, and sighed: "The matter of the eldest sister belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you in a hurry." ”

Yun Zhi actually only understood half of what he said, but she didn't dare to ask what she meant by "in a hurry", so she had to continue to remain silent.

"But it's not a bad thing, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince catches up with the eldest sister, he may not be able to persuade him to come back, if you go, you can really help."

He was explaining to her again, Yun Zhi hid the look of surprise in his eyes, and looked up, Lu Shenjun had already put down the teacup, rubbed his hands between his foreheads gently, his eyes were closed, and the furrows between his eyebrows were deep, as if he was extremely tired.

After a while, Lu Shenjun got up, threw down the sentence "You can rest here", and left.

Yun Zhi hurriedly followed to the door quietly, listened to the door panel for a while, and confirmed that there was no one outside, Yun Zhi sat back at the table, picked up the tea that he had not dared to drink just now, and drank it all.

Then, she let out a long sigh of relief.

I don't know if she has been completely exposed just now, but since Lu Shenjun didn't say it in the open, she continued to pretend that she didn't know.

Yun Zhi was bored, and his thoughts were flying.

Thinking about my sister for a while, thinking of Lu Yunsheng who suddenly disappeared in the palace, thinking of the cousin who had never met but was affected by herself, thinking that Xinsui could still cope with the past if she stayed in the palace courtyard alone? Thinking about everything I saw last night, where was Ah Yu called? How long will it take for Pei Shun and Xiao Yi to be released?

I don't know how long it took, the door of the room was pushed open, and it was Ah Yu, followed by Pei Shun and Xiao Yi.

As soon as Ah Yu came in, he sat next to Yun Zhi without saying a word, lifted the teapot and poured a big mouthful, raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his mouth, smiled at Yun Zhi who was full of surprise, and before Yun Zhi could ask anything, he began to tell what happened after he was taken away from the prison in the morning.

"You don't know how excessive this Lord Lu is! He told me to do my work! Ah Yu was so angry that his cheeks bulged.

Pei Shun and Xiao Yi also sat down separately, and were surprised when they heard this: "Didn't this Jiahe Town and the Criminal Prosecutor Department even have a job?" ”

Ah Yu said: "Originally, there was!" They said he was sick, the man who fell next to the mayor last night, remember, he was the man of this Jiahe Town! ”

Yun Zhi asked: "You are not the only doctor in Jiahe Town, why did you ask you to go?" ”

Ah Yu looked helpless: "A few days ago, Aunt Zhang's big yellow dog died, I happened to pass by, and I said that this dog was killed after eating something unclean, and as a result, Aunt Zhang went around telling people that I could determine the cause of death......

Then, her words suddenly changed, and her voice was lowered, "Well, I really saw something this time!" Did you know that the five people who died earlier had the same rune drawn on different parts of their bodies? Do you remember the thing the mayor held in his hand yesterday when he worshipped the heavens? I took a sneak peek, and the runes engraved on that thing were exactly the same as those on those people! ”

As she spoke, she took out a box of balm, dug a small lump with her finger cover and applied it to the back of her hand, as the balm was smeared, a strong orchid aroma soon filled the whole room, Yun Zhi had never been used to smelling this strong fragrance, and was choked and coughed twice. But when Ah Yu held another piece of perfume and asked her if she wanted to come too, looking at the expectation in her eyes, Yun Zhi did not refuse, but fortunately, the incense did not last long before it dissipated.

"So, those people's deaths really have something to do with the mayor?" Pei Shun frowned.

Ah Yu put away the balm box and shook his head, "I don't know about this, but it must have something to do with their ancestral hall, I heard that thing is the treasure of this Jiahe Town, and it has always been offered in the ancestral hall." As she spoke, she changed her tone to a persuasive tone, "Do you want to know the truth?" ”

Pei Shun saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Do you want us to accompany you to the ancestral hall?" ”

Ah Yu winked at him, "Yes, you have a great friendship with Lord Lu, if you want to go, Lord Lu will definitely not stop you!" ”

Ah Yu had already pulled Pei Shun to stand up, and Yun Zhi hurriedly waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't go, you guys go." She didn't want to face Lu Shenjun's scrutinizing gaze anymore.

Xiao Yi also said: "I'm not going either." ”

Pei Shun wanted to sit back when he heard this, but was pushed by Xiao Yi with his hand, and Yun Zhi also secretly made a move, so the two of them were pushed out of the door. Everyone was standing outside the door, and there was no other choice, but when Ah Yu came up to pull his arm, he frowned and avoided it.

Only Yun Zhi and Xiao Yi were left, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and after a while, Xiao Yi pointed out the door, "Go to the street?" ”

Yun Zhi thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay." ”
