Chapter 4: Divine Judgment
"Father, do you know that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Li Wei was looking forward to it, but he didn't expect this sentence to come out of Li Yun's mouth, and he was stunned for a while, slightly speechless.
"Promise me one condition first, and I'll help you solve the case!" Li Yun grinned on his face.
"On what terms?"
"Take me to the 'Listening Tide Pavilion' tomorrow night to see the 'Oiran'. ”
"No, at such a young age, how can you go to that kind of place to join in the fun!" Li Wei refused.
Tingchao Pavilion is the most famous gold cave in the city, the women here can be described as brilliant skills, famous and famous, attracting sons and brothers from all over the world, dignitaries and nobles, and even the distant South Vietnamese Empire and maritime countries, there are people who work tirelessly to come here to sell gold.
Li Wei himself secretly went there from time to time, but if he was to let him take his son with him, it would be impossible to agree anyway.
"If this is the key to solving the case, you should agree, right?" said Li Yun.
"It's... What do you mean by that?"
"Will you say yes?"
"Good!"
"Wow!"
Li Yunxi smiled and was excited, which made the third lady happy on the side, and said: "Yun'er, even if your father takes you there, you have to be obedient and just watch the excitement, you know?"
"Don't worry, those Qinglou women can't take a fancy to me. ”
"Hehe, this is natural, remember no matter what, come back after watching the excitement, tomorrow night your aunt and second mother will set up a wine in the backyard to admire the moon, without your father and son... You know the consequences. ”
Li Wei smiled awkwardly, knowing that the last sentence was for himself.
"I'll help you bring your father back. Li Yun said with a smile.
"Yun'er, don't be too happy, let's hear your thoughts first. Li Wei diverted the topic first.
"Actually, these two cases are related and can be solved together!"
Li Yun's words were shocking, and he calmed Li Wei and his wife at once, looked at him in a daze, and exclaimed: "Such a coincidence?!"
"The time when the fugitive escaped from prison and the time he ran to the place of murder coincided with the time of the woman's death, so I determined that the woman was killed by the fugitive. ”
Li Wei was a little confused, and said suspiciously: "You already know the location of the killing?"
"Yes, the location of the crime is in Tingchao Pavilion, which is why I reminded you that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival at the beginning. ”
"I... Still don't understand. ”
"Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the most prosperous time for the business of the green houses everywhere, and all kinds of activities to attract customers are frequent, and among them, the point of the Oiran of Tingchao Pavilion is the most prestigious, and the customers attracted are the most weighty, and many sons and nobles are proud to appear here. ”
"Yes, but what does this have to do with this case?"
"With the power of the four major families, among them, who is happy to do this, who doesn't want to appear here and win a smile from the beauties? With the character of Chen Huqiang of the Chen family to marry the beautiful Wu Yan, coupled with his status in the Chen family, I think he will definitely appear in the Tingchao Pavilion to participate in the Oiran. ”
"You mean, Wu Ping thought of hearing Chaoge assassinate Chen Hu?"
"It's obvious. Because Wu Ping couldn't see or approach Chen Hu at all on weekdays, this was also the main reason why he failed in his previous assassinations. And when the Oiran is lit, the scene will be extremely chaotic, and it is the best time to carry out the assassination plan. Li Yun said affirmatively.
"Hmm... Yes, if I were Wu Ping and learned about Chen Hu's whereabouts, I would have made such a choice. ”
Li Wei's eyes were shining, he looked at Li Yun like gold, and asked, "How can you say that the woman was listening to Chaoge being killed by Wu Ping?"
"There are some pavilions behind the Listening Tide Pavilion that are just above the Chaojiang River. According to the results of your on-site investigation, the woman was wearing only underwear at the time of her death, she was about 15 years old, her head was black, and she had bruises on her body, which was not rape and murder. The time of death was about five hours earlier, which coincided with the time when the corpse had drifted from the Listening Tide Pavilion to the downstream location. ”
"How do you know it's a match?"
"Because I know the speed of the tide this season. Moreover, with Wu Ping's cultivation in the second Xuankuo realm, the time when he escaped from the prison to the Tingchao Pavilion happened to be the time of the murder, which can be inferred that Wu Ping must have been killed. ”
"It's... How do you know that Wu Ping's cultivation is in the Xuankuo Realm?"
Li Wei really ignored this point before and didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect Li Yun to say that it was related to solving the case.
"Hehe, this is naturally the first time to react. Wu Ping was imprisoned in the cell of the second district, which held prisoners below the second realm, and the prison steel was designed to be the strength of the third level of the Xuanling realm. Judging from the escape scene, the steel bar was slightly bent, and the exit was only enough for a child to leave, if Wu Ping hadn't practiced exercises such as bone shrinking exercises, at his age of fourteen, no matter how thin he was, it would be impossible to escape. However, exercises such as the Bone Shrinking Technique can only be cultivated after entering the Xuankuo Realm, and it is the muscles and bones that are cultivated in this realm. Therefore, I judged that his cultivation realm was undoubtedly in the Xuankuo realm. ”
"So, according to what you said, the place where the crime was committed was in the pavilion behind Tingchao Pavilion, what did Wu Ping mean by this?" Li Wei leaned forward and asked cautiously.
Judging from the information, Wu Ping is not a vicious person, but in order to avenge his sister, he was ambushed by the Chen family and sent to prison. It can be seen that his means of killing are limited, or that he did not intend to kill innocent people. After infiltrating the Listening Tide Pavilion, he must find a way to hide. Wu Ping's sister Wu Yan is as beautiful as a flower, and it can be inferred that Wu Ping himself should also be a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, so he may have improvised an idea to seize the clothes of a Qinglou woman who is similar to his own stature and disguise herself as a waitress in order to get close to Chen Hu and carry out the assassination plan. ”
Hearing this, Li Wei unconsciously leaned lower, sweating profusely, and the hot sweat on his forehead was already rolling and dripping, but he didn't care.
Li Yun continued to analyze: "When the Qinglou woman saw someone rushing out of the shadows and trying to snatch her clothes, she must have thought that this person had evil intentions, so she shouted for help. When Wu Ping was in a panic, he naturally covered her mouth, and between some battles, the two rolled down the stairs, and the woman was hit and died. This is also the reason why she did not die of rape and murder. Wu Ping hurriedly stripped her of her clothes, and threw the dead Qinglou woman into the Tingchao River, hiding in the Tingchao Pavilion himself, waiting for tomorrow's Oiran Festival. He probably didn't know that the woman had been discovered, so he must be hiding in the shadows at tomorrow's Oiran extravaganza, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate her. If it weren't for the concurrent occurrence of the two cases today, if it hadn't happened to me, it is estimated that there is a great possibility that he will succeed in his assassination tomorrow!"
Li Wei's clothes were already soaked, and he couldn't say a word, his head was already leaning in front of Li Yun, staring at Li Yun tightly, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face.
Suddenly, Huo Di stood up and said loudly: "I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion!"
A flash, the person is gone.
"Don't go, you're not done yet!" Li Yun shouted.
"What else does Yun'er say?"
"Catch it red-handed tomorrow and let the Chen family owe us a favor to the Li family!"
"Got it!"
......
"God decides... God decides..."
Li Wei muttered to himself, and the mood along the way can only be described as extremely excited.
"It's amazing! Such a complicated serial bloody case can be thought out clearly in a few breaths, as if it were seen in person, which is better than the fatigue of countless people. Yun'er has this genius, even if he can't cultivate Xuangong, there is no need to worry, I'm afraid that no matter how many Xuangong powerhouses he has, he won't be as good as moving a thought. Seemingly... In the future, the Xingtian Division will definitely have to reserve a seat for him! No, no, I'm afraid the Xingtian Division may not be able to hold his big fish..."
Looking at the City Lord's Mansion faintly appearing in the distance, he calmed down a little and dodged in.
Soon, the government order came out, the city's martial law operation was suspended, and various activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival were carried out as usual.
The people of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the danger was lifted and the revelry was coming.
......
On August 15, the moon was full, but the bright moon of the Heavenly Dragon Empire looked bigger and rounder, and it was extremely bright.
The moonlight is like practice, shining on the South China Sea, shining on the Chaojiang River, shining on the smiling face full of joy, and shining on the crowded Listening Tide Pavilion.
Signature lanterns have long been hung here and there, revealing a fiery red light, making everyone look more red, full of energy, and a certain passion is brewing in the body.
"The guest officer is here, please upstairs!"
In the non-stop screaming of the welcoming women, Tingchao Pavilion ushered in batches of distinguished guests.
"This little boy, please stay, I'm sorry... We don't accept children. ”
In the midst of a false laughter and scolding, a discordant voice suddenly came.
Naturally, it was Li Yun, who was only ten years old, who was stopped.
Li Yun looked up at the waitress with a smile, a sweet smile appeared on his face, and said, "Sister, don't look at who I'm coming with?"
"It's... This big fat man, ah!" the waitress exclaimed, and there was an extra palm mark on her face, and her slender hand hurriedly covered it.
"Look at your, where are your eyes?!" Mommy rushed out of the building like the wind and slapped the waitress.
"The lord of the mansion is here, and the small pavilion is really shining tonight. The concubine is waiting for you, but I will thank you when I wait for the flowers!" Mommy smiled with flowers on her face, deliberately stumbling, and fell into Huang Yu's arms, and the fragrance was fragrant.
"Mrs. Lao is worried!"
Huang Yu played an official tone, picked up Mommy, rubbed a layer of oil on her, and sniffed it very pleasantly.
"Hello... Bad... Hey, this is the little boy, how cute, let's come to see the excitement, come, sister with you, lord of the house, come in with the concubine..."
Huang Yu shook his head, pinched Mommy's slender hand, and followed in.
Li Yun and Huang Yu were placed in the main seats of the stands, which attracted countless speculations for a while.
Because Huang Yu's opportunities to show up are mostly in listening to some high-level political occasions in Chaocheng, ordinary people naturally don't know much, so the situation that this old and young man actually occupies the main position has aroused the anger of many arrogant boys.
"Li Gang, who is this fat man?"
"Brother Chen Hu, how do I know, I thought that seat was reserved for our Jieshi Island master. ”
"You island master?!How can he be qualified, I thought he was the head of our Chen family. ”
......
"Young Master Cai Yang, who is that kid?"
"It seems to have come in with the fat man. ”
"Why did you come so young to join the excitement of this green building?"
"The current child is precocious, but he who looks thin and weak should be congenitally deficient, how can he compare with you Lin Tiangongzi..."
"That's nature..."
......
