Bo Ruoyou suddenly felt strange, "Why did your adoptive father say this?"

Cheng Yunzhi looked away and stopped looking at her, and his tone was unquestionable, "Anyway, listen to me, I will prepare your marriage these days, and go to the Xiulou to make a wedding dress for you tomorrow. I have explained it all. You can put this case first. Haven't the coroner returned to the yamen?"

Cheng Yunzhi had met Hu Changqing in the sick camp and knew the situation inside the yamen. Bo Ruoyou looked at him for a moment and said, "Go to do wedding dress? That's fine, I'll go to the Xiulou first tomorrow."

After pausing, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but say, "But this matter does not conflict with the case. Why is the adoptive father unwilling to let me investigate this case?"

Cheng Yunzhi frowned slightly, his expression was so serious that he was hard to see. "You listen to me, just like the cold land is frozen today, and the yamen is not an unparalleled coroner. I don't have the heart to run around and suffer."

After saying that, he didn't want to stay for too long, so he told her to rest early and went back to the room.

Bo Ruoyou looked at the direction where Cheng Yunzhi left, and was suspicious for a while. After some soup, he went back to the room to wash and lay down, but still couldn't understand why Cheng Yunzhi suddenly said this tonight.

Since he persuaded Cheng Yunzhi to let her learn the way of coroner, he rarely stopped her from probing an autopsy. Although this case is difficult to resolve, it is really strange that Cheng Yunzhi said that he would not allow her to continue investigating it.

Cheng Yunzhi treated her like a daughter. If he stopped her, there was only one reason - this case might be unfavorable to her.

While sleeping in a daze, Bo Ruoyou still didn't understand where the case was not good for her.

Early the next morning, Bo Ruoyou stood up and followed Cheng Yunzhi to the east city. This time, the dowry was prepared, but she had to come to the embroidery building to tailor the wedding dress. Cheng Yunzhi also wanted her to choose her own preferences. Although Bo Ruoyou was given a marriage, she only waited to go to the embroidery building and saw the things she liked to marry, and then she felt a little real.

The embroidered lady had already decided. Cheng Yunzhi was drinking tea downstairs, and Bo Ruoyou was tailoring upstairs. It was very neat. In just half an hour, the father and daughter returned to the house. However, how could she really ignore the case in the yamen?

Bo Ruoyou was waiting for Huo Weilou to pick her up.

Before noon, the carriage and horses of the Marquis's mansion stopped in front of Cheng's house. When Bo Ruoyou heard that someone had come, he personally met him. When he opened the door, he winked at Huo Weilou and said softly: "Don't tell him to his adoptive father that we will go to the yamen and that we will visit His Highness the Princess."

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows. When he saw Cheng Yunzhi coming out from the inside, he stepped forward and bowed to Cheng Yunzhi. When Cheng Yunzhi asked where he wanted to take Bo Ruoyou, Huo Weilou said in a normal tone: "Sir, have you taken your mother's body a little bit, and I want to take Youyou to visit her."

Cheng Yunzhi did not doubt at all. He treated the eldest princess for two months, and he knew that the eldest princess was suffering. The two juniors were caring for him, so they were naturally very good. He did not say much and watched them leave Cheng's house.

After getting on the carriage, Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou leisurely. Bo Ruoyou sighed, "I don't know what's wrong with my adoptive father. I came back last night and told him about this case. He didn't allow me to care anymore. Could it be... it's because I and the Marquis have married me and don't want me to get involved in this? I'm afraid that the marriage will be unlucky?"

After she analyzed this, she didn't believe it and sighed: "But the adoptive father is not such a pedantic person."

Not to mention Bo Ruoyou, even Huo Weilou was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he still comforted him: "Maybe the murderer of this case is quite strange. The place where the crime happened is outside the city. Now there is another coroner in the yamen. I don't want you to work hard."

Although these reasons fit Cheng Yunzhi's words, they were not very convincing. Bo Ruoyou frowned and worried. Huo Weilou grabbed her softly, "What must he be worried about this? What are you going to do?"

Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment, "If it were not necessary, I would not leave the city, so I would also help Hu Zizhu more. But the Marquis knew that I was afraid that there would be really missing old cases in the past few years, so I wanted to go to the yamen to check the files."

Huo Weilou naturally understood, "Forget it, I'll cover you."

When he said this, he had a little deeper look in his eyes, and he was also wondering why Cheng Yunzhi stopped Bo Ruoyou from investigating the case.

When he arrived at the yamen, Wu Xiang had not yet returned. Bo Ruoyou called Hu Changqing to see Sun Zhao together. After reporting the case, Sun Zhao's expression changed slightly, "This year's holiday, the life case is just a case, why did some old cases come out?"

Sun Zhao did not delay and took a few people to the inner treasury. Bo Ruoyou was not unfamiliar with this place. When Sun Zhao called the clerks, he followed the clues he got the day before yesterday and looked through the old files again.

Bo Ruoyou and Hu Changqing said: "The murderer's targets are children around six or seven years old, so the victims we are looking for are children over six or seven years old. The unsolved murders and missing cases have to be found since the 17th year of Jianhe to the present." After a slight pause, she said: "To be on the safe side, she can die at an age of less than ten years old."

This is even harder than finding a record of the Zhao Family Ban fire before. The case files in the past fourteen years have to be reviewed. Many people who are lost and abducted every year will come to report to officials by accident. Everyone needs to screen them to avoid making mistakes.

Bo Ruoyou said again: "The murderer likes to use things that children like to deceive them into no one's land first, and then kidnap them. He will not violently hurt them, but will release blood on their bodies. Therefore, the deceased has small wounds on their bodies. These wounds are mostly on their feet. The death condition is mostly caused by excessive blood loss, or there are other causes of death, but it also has a lot of blood loss."

The more clues there are, the better the screening. Bo Ruoyou is afraid of missing something, so he dare not put the condition too dead. Now that the case is recent, the civil servants plan to look for it backwards. Bo Ruoyou has no objection to this, because she cannot determine whether Ming Guilan was almost murdered back then.

It is a very boring task to read the file, and Wu Xiang is still outside the city, so it is mostly because of inaccurate and powerful clues. The clerks find out the doubtful file separately, and then Bo Ruoyou follows to avoid any omissions. After busy for half a day, he really found several cases that meet the requirements.

"Only 30 years old, that is, last year, five children inside and outside the capital have been lost and have not returned yet. The youngest one is five years old and the oldest is eight years old. The murder case is still fine, with only two, one is four years old and the other is six years old."

Bo Ruoyou marked the files in front of him and said, "A child died of falling into the river in summer. When he was found, his body swollen and had many wounds on his body. The person who was examined at the time-"

Hu Changqing raised his hand from the Chang's case, "I was the one who examined the autopsy."

After he said that, he came over. Because it was last year, he still had some impression, "This child was indeed drowned, because there was mud and sand in his mouth and nose, and the signs on his face were also drowned. However, he had external injuries on his body, and there were many injuries on his feet, and he really had a lot of blood. But at that time, I felt that this child was struggling in the water and was cut by stone pieces on his feet."

Bo Ruoyou listened and watched, noticing that the child's home was in the south of the city, his mother was ill in bed, and his father was working as a laborer, so he lost his care and let the child run out to play in the water. The time of death in summer doesn't seem to be very similar.

She looked at the second murder case for the time being, "There was an accident last year and was found dead under the ancient city wall in the south of the city, which was a fall to death."

Hu Changqing immediately said, "That's right. Although I can't test it, I can touch the bones. His shoulders and sideways were on the ground, and the bones were completely broken. When he found out, he had blood flowed from a large pool of blood under his body. Everyone could get on the ancient city wall. Later, it was decided to be an accident."

These dead people were all corpses examined by Hu Changqing, so he naturally had the most say. The detailed records of the yamen operators in the file investigated and visited the children, and did not mention the child being lured and abducted, and the clues related to the murderer were even more incompatible.

She was a little embarrassed, and suddenly, a yamen officer quickly walked to the door, "Marquis, the county lord, and the young master of the Ming Tai Doctor's family are here to visit."

Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou both changed their qualities. Could it be that Ming Guilan could come to the yamen to find them? Is it because he remembered something?

Bo Ruoyou ordered Hu Changqing to watch in the inner trunk. He and Huo Weilou arrived at the front hall to see Ming Guilan. Sun Zhao was dealing with the yamen errands next to him, and rushed over after hearing this.

Ming Guilan's face was very bad, and she seemed to have not been asleep all night. When he saw them, he said straight to the point: "I thought about it all night last night and did think of some details. I was not sensible at the time. I didn't know what the murderer was for, so I didn't explain it clearly. But when I learned the way of the child's death last night, I suddenly felt something was wrong."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes tightened, and his eyes were motionless looking at Ming Guilan. He continued: "At that time, I was plundered, and my consciousness was sometimes chaotic and sometimes a little awake. There is a detail I didn't care about at that time - when he brought me back to the ruined temple, he touched my bones and veins, and went down from the blood on the neck to the soles of my feet, and even landed on my hand to explore my veins."

"At that time, I treated the evil man as a kidnapper, and said that before he kidnapped me, he had to check my health, whether it was strong, whether it was disabled, or whether I was really confused." Ming Guilan said in a deep eyes: "But now that he thinks about it, he seems to know the bloodlines on a person's body, and he checked it like that, as if he was determining how to open a wound on me, he would bleed."

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but lit up his black eyes, "Is there no mistake?"

Ming Guilan shook his head, "I can't remember it wrong. Later, I studied medicine and was still vivid in my mind. I had doubts about it in my heart, but I just thought that the man looked rich, and maybe I really knew medical skills. I heard that accused children never abducted those weak and sickly children, so I never thought about it too much."

Who would have thought that a murderer would release blood from a child as cruelly?
