Probably because the patrol was strict, some deserted places in the city were gradually exposed to everyone's eyes, and then there were all kinds of worldly sophistication, and there were more than a dozen of them.

Even Ah Lu didn't know how to analyze them, so they just waited patiently for the news from the county government, and at the same time protected the entire Jiankang City and prevented the murder from happening again.

In order to better inquire about the news, Ah Sheng directly planted a seed of eavesdropping in the study where the city lord and Liu Xian Ling met, and closely monitored the conversation between the city lord and Liu Xian Ling.

As there were more and more corpses, the atmosphere in the whole city became more and more dull, because most of the corpses found later were three or four or even five or six years ago, and those guests who were left in Jiankang City by the city lord began to have a disgrace and began to ask the Jiankang city lord to let them go back, after all, judging from the time of the corpses behind, they were not suspicious at all.

I don't know how the Jiankang City Lord persuaded these people to resign, and gradually no one went to the Jiankang City Lord anymore, so they just waited quietly to solve the case.

Wu Gui said with a smile: "These people are worried that Jiankang City is not safe, after all, there are so many corpses, and secondly, they are worried that if they are away from home for too long, there will be disasters in the family, as long as the Jiankang City Lord can solve these two problems, they will naturally not make trouble again, after all, it is not safe to go out of the city now." ”

"Why?"

Ah Lu asked him, and Wu Gui patiently explained: "Why is the city closed, it is because I am afraid that these people who have left will flee from Jiankang in my heart, and it will not be so easy to arrest him at that time, but he has already committed these cases, and he will definitely not stop easily, and those people are also afraid that they will bring the disaster star home." ”

Ah Lu nodded, thinking about this from the perspective of ordinary mortals, it was indeed true.

Because Hong went out early in the morning to find the beggars in Di Gua's mouth, Ah Sheng went to the kitchen to look at the kitchen by asking the reason for the lunch, and said to inquire about some news, when she walked in with two food boxes, she found that there were only Ah Lu and Wu Gui, and pouted and put the food box in the middle of the two people.

"Hong Tease hasn't come back yet?"

Lu looked at the time outside, noon was approaching, and it was the time when some evil things were afraid.

"I'm afraid I won't be back until the evening. ”

Ah Lu stretched out his hand to open the food box and brought out the dishes inside, Wu Gui also reached out to help, Ah Sheng saw this, and hurriedly reached over and laid out the food.

The city lord's mansion is still very good at hospitality, and the three of them prepared three meats, two vegetables and one soup, as well as a pot of good wine.

The skills of the cooks in the city lord's mansion are naturally not bad, Ah Sheng smelled the fragrance and picked up the chopsticks and ate them unceremoniously, and while eating, he spoke vaguely.

"This matter makes people panic, after the city gate is closed, some farmers can not enter the city to sell goods, the kitchen people say that now the price of Jiankang firewood, rice, oil and salt has risen, the city lord's mansion has recently spent a lot of silver on food, and the masters of the city lord's mansion may have something in their hearts to eat, and they will not let the kitchen get less, and every day a table is sent over, and another table is taken back, it is simply a toss......

Ah Lu's eyes flickered slightly: "Is it every meal or just this one at noon?"

Ah Sheng recalled the words of the people in the kitchen: "I shouldn't be starving to death like this, it seems that it is only at noon, but the third young master is not in good health, and there are often times when he can't eat, and the fourth lady eats a small amount, so every time she asks the kitchen to cook less, but there is still a lot left." ”

Putting delicious things and not eating them, it was such a waste, Ah Shengmian was indignant.

A Luqi said: "Why don't the city lord's family eat together?"

Ah Sheng said: "Originally, it was in one place, and there was only one kitchen in the kitchen, because of this incident, the city lord was busy all day, and Mrs. Yuan was not in good health recently, so I let the young ladies eat in their respective rooms." ”

"Why is Mrs. Yuan in poor health? Didn't she look good on the day of the ceremony, and her complexion was also very ruddy?"

"I don't know about that, I seem to be scared. ”

Ah Lu laughed out loud: "This is strange, the fifth lady who saw the corpse with her own eyes is still alive and kicking at this moment, she was scared just after listening to it?"

Wu Gui chuckled: "I heard that Mrs. Yuan is a kind person, but I can't bear this." ”

Ah Lu didn't speak, and Ah Sheng swallowed what was in his mouth: "Do you suspect that the murderer is the master of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"It's not an obvious thing, except for the first discovery of this one, the later ones found are all outside the City Lord's Mansion, and there is an obvious problem with the first corpse, obviously to divert others' attention from the first corpse. ”

"After the bodies that had been dead for a long time were discovered, the city lord asked Liu County to investigate the disappearance cases for nearly ten years, and none of them matched the ...... of those corpses."

Ah Lu looked at Wu Guixiao's slices of meat sandwiched into his bowl, and pouted: "Didn't Di Gu say that some beggars are missing?"

Ah Sheng was a little full, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Wu Gui, who had nothing to do with himself, and always felt that Wu Gui knew something, but he could never get something out of his mouth.

Wu Gui noticed Ah Sheng's gaze, took a sip of wine, and finally spoke: "Beggars are good targets, even if they disappear, no one will care, just look elsewhere, and there are many young and strong ...... among them."

This seems to be ordinary, but in fact it has a deep meaning, Ah Lu nodded suddenly: "The deceased are all young men in their twenties, their bodies are relatively healthy, and their hearts are naturally full of vitality, and now there is no corpse except Tu An who has been identified, so the breakthrough is still on Tu An." ”

After talking around and coming back, Ah Lu was a little frustrated, Wu Gui saw that she was very interested in this matter, bent the corners of her lips, and put down the wine glass.

"I'll try to remind the city lord of Jiankang to go to the beggar's pile to find out the identity of the body, but ...... Since the earliest corpse appeared seven years ago, and it is a beggar, I am afraid that there are not many people who can find out. ”

Ah Lu: "I naturally know, but once I ask for my identity, I can always find some clues, but there is one thing I don't understand, as Tu An, who was the first to be discovered, why has no one investigated for a long time?"

Wu Gui said with a smile: "Even if the Jiankang City Lord personally speaks, let the Liuxian Order investigate the City Lord's Mansion, how can he really have the courage to do this......?"

Ah Lu didn't have anything to do after hearing this, but Ah Sheng's face was angry: "If he really thinks about the people in the city, he should check the people in his mansion carefully, if he goes on like this, how do you know that he will not be famous again?"

Ah Lu said in a deep voice: "Actually, it's not the case, it's convenient for us, and now it seems that there is still a big suspicion in the City Lord's Mansion, so we just need to investigate it here......"

The meal was almost eaten, Ah Sheng packed up the things, carried the food box and sent it outside, as soon as he went out, he saw Kang An sneaking outside, and caught him on the spot, Kang An only dodged and fooled around casually for the city lord to see if there was anything inconsiderate, and he hurriedly left when he saw nothing.
