Chapter 199 Ten Flowers 13

"The murderers of serial murder cases always have certain rules when choosing targets. The deaths of several children this time also have a sacrificial meaning, and it is even more impossible to kill people indiscriminately."

In the main hall of Wu Zhaohou Mansion, Sun Zhao and Lin Huai were both invited back. The case has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice. It was about to be concluded, but such a big change happened, which caught everyone off guard.

After Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, Sun Zhao Liangliang glanced at Wu Xiang, "The birth dates of several children were different, but they did not find it when they visited."

Wu Xiang touched his nose and felt a little guilty. Lin Huai said, "It's not his fault. These children are of different ages and their birth days look messy on the surface, unless they specially hire a Taoist priest to come see it."

Huo Weilou said: "Li Shen imitated the method of murder, but there was a change in the conditions for choosing the target, but he finally admitted all the crimes. He seemed to know how the previous children were killed, which shows that he knew the murderer earlier and knew about the murderer's harm."

Sun Zhao also continued: "Is he going to protect the murderer or to take the blame?"

Bo Ruoyou's expression was particularly serious, "It has been two years since the previous child was killed, and the cause of death of those children has not been proven to be different, and the government office has no intention of re-investigating it. Li Shen's case is equivalent to a sudden emergence."

If Li Shen did not appear, these old cases would probably continue to be sealed in the documents of the government office.

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment and said, "There is only one possibility. The murderer felt the crisis, so he pushed Li Shen out. This person must be related to the cult that Li Shen believes in."

"Crisis?" Sun Zhao couldn't figure it out, "Several people died in this case, but the government office had no plans to re-invest. Not to mention me, even Wu Xiang, no one in the entire government office had ever thought of this case."

Bo Ruoyou, who was sitting next to her, suddenly her eyelids twitched, "Sir, it's not undeniable that anyone has ever thought about..."

Everyone looked at her, and she continued: "When we were investigating the case of the Hundred Bird Garden, we had searched for the files of the Zhao Family Ban case in the inner treasury. When we were looking for the file of that case, I saw the case file of Mr. Ming being kidnapped. Later I mentioned this matter with the Marquis, but in the government office, I did not say that I would re-invest the case."

Huo Weilou also remembered this incident. At this time, Bo Ruoyou continued: "The people who were looking for files in the inner warehouse might have some impression, but everyone's attention was on the files of Zhao's family at that time, so no one should pay attention to this matter."

Sun Zhao looked at Wu Xiang, "Do you have an impression?"

Wu Xiang nodded, "Sir, I don't know that I can't read those files. Xiao Bo and Xiao Hu were reading the files in the inner warehouse those days. Later, when Xiao Bo saw the case of the Ming family's son, I happened to be by my side, but I didn't think deeply about it. Later, I took someone outside to visit, and I waited until Xiao Bo said that Wen Jin's case was involved with the Ming family's case back then, and I felt it."

Sun Zhao frowned, "Wu Xiang has been a constable for many years and is concerned about criminal cases. Moreover, the case of Zhao's family at that time is completely incompatible with the cases in the early years. He never took it seriously. Others even forgot it when they heard it. How did the murderer know that Xiao Bo had noticed the case of Ming's family?"

He looked at Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou, "When Xiaobo talked to the Marquis, were there anyone else present?"

Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou looked at each other for a moment. She had asked the Ming family case more than once, but every time there were no outsiders around her. At this time, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Huo Qinghong beside her, "There weren't two times in front, but the latter one happened to meet Prince Ming and Prince Ming when I came to the Marquis' Mansion. I had asked Prince Ming before."

Huo Qinghong was about to doze off. When he heard it was related to him, he woke up and suddenly remembered the matter, "Yes, what's wrong? Gui Lan and I left first that day, and when we left, we didn't discuss this matter."

Bo Ruoyou looked at Sun Zhao, "Then there will be no other idle people to know about this."

Lin Huai looked at Sun Zhao, "Will anyone in the yamen speak fast?"

After the words were settled, everyone's expressions were sunk. The person behind the scenes was hidden behind Wang Qingfu, and he believed in cults in and outside the capital. His identity must be either rich or noble. If he had any reason in the yamen, there was indeed such a possibility.

Sun Zhao was a little nervous for a moment, and turned his eyes to look at Wu Xiang, but Wu Xiang immediately said, "This is impossible. There are no new people in our yamen in the past two years. My brothers have been working in the yamen for several years. I know all the character. It is impossible that the murderer had put a spy in the yamen many years ago, right?"

If the murderer had such a plan for more than ten years, it would be too complete.

At this time, Lin Huai said again: "If the murderer can find a way to inquire about the news from the yamen, then I am afraid he will know the progress of the investigation of the case between the yamen and the direct envoy during this period. Even if we are now discussing affairs in the Marquis' Mansion, will the murderer see it?"

The night fell quietly, and the snow outside the window had stopped, and only the cold wind was howling. Lin Huai's words made the warm and spring-like hall suddenly cool. Huo Weilou said in a deep voice: "The timing of the Li Shenzhi case was indeed strange. Although it took some effort to solve the case, it was still smooth. He took all the blame. If it weren't for some clues and mistakes, the case would be settled, and the real murderer would be spared forever."

At this point, his voice sank, "Now we are in the light and the murderer is in the dark. This is a bad thing and a good thing."

Lin Huai asked in a voice: "What does the Marquis mean?"

"The person behind the scenes wanted to use Li Shen to punish him, but he didn't want the government to be deceived. What would you do if you were him?"

Lin Huai was stunned, "Of course I was trying to continue to cover up."

Huo Weilou thoughtful, Lin Huai said: "This murderer probably told Li Shen about what happened back then, but why didn't he tell Li Shen who chose the target to choose the person who had the birth date of the Sanyang?"

"If you say too much, the murderer will probably be lucky." Bo Ruoyou spoke, "Li Shen has a very bad reputation and a humble status. It is difficult to deal with him in Feiyun Temple. It is even more difficult to get the birth date of the young masters. If Li Shen had told him about it at that time, the government would have to check the origin of the birthday and choose so many young masters who meet the criteria. He would have to know the birth date of the young masters in various places in the capital. This is even more impossible for Li Shen. He could not explain it, and the government would immediately suspect that he had an accomplice."

Since he said this, Bo Ruoyou looked at Huo Weilou, "In addition to Wen Jin, the other five are young masters of wealthy families in the capital. Three of them are from official families. In addition, Master Ming, these families are not allowed to ask about their birthdays casually, and the murderer has to pass the screening. In this huge capital, there must be few who have three Yangs birthdays. The identity of the murderer must be related to these families."

The birth date and horoscope are extremely private. Usually, only relatives know that even if outsiders use all kinds of methods, it is very different if they have family friendships. As long as they spend time and effort, they will always have the opportunity to inquire.

But even so, the scope is very large. Huo Weilou looked at the sky outside and ordered: "The official documents of the Ministry of Justice will be sent back to the yamen first. The case will be investigated again. The murderer hid in the dark and watched it. It is nothing. Don't stop visiting the pilgrims in Feiyunguan. Especially if you check Li Shen's life, especially when he started to contact the cult. And when he chose to return to secularism back then, he must not really want to return to secularism. Most of them want to escape from Feiyunguan to promote the cult."

Several people agreed to go down, but Huo Weilou did not allow them to stay for too long. Soon, a few people said goodbye to leave the mansion.

Bo Ruoyou was still pondering, "The murderer has not committed a crime again after two years. How did he think of letting someone commit a crime and punish him?"

I thought that even if Li Shen had concealed something, he should be one of the real murderers, but now he overturned the previous conclusion. Thinking that the murderer who murdered his younger brother was still hiding in the dark, Bo Ruoyou's forehead was thrusting and hurting.

"There must be an opportunity. He must have discovered something." At this point, Huo Weilou couldn't help but hold Bo Ruoyou's hand, "Is it because of you?"

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "How can I explain this?"

"You were the only two who escaped from him back then. When Gui Lan ran away, he had never seen his face, but when you ran away, you might have seen more things. You have been back to Beijing for more than half a year. With this person's status and status, if you were willing, you would have known that if I were him, you would have been worried about you."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "But he must know that I can't remember the old things."

This person has a good status and status. When Bo Ruoyou was sick, he was asked for medicine. He was also known to all the families. Most of the people knew about it. Perhaps it was because of this that the man let a five-year-old fool go.

But twelve years have passed since then, and now she has grown up and is not only elegant but also works as a coroner in the yamen. The murderer is indeed very likely to be suspicious.

"But I have been back to Beijing for so long, and he has no reason to know it until winter. I still feel that the murderer had this idea because of something else, for example, the yamen became suspicious of the case of Master Ming."

It was dark outside the window. Bo Ruoyou saw that it was getting late and wanted to go home. Huo Weilou comforted her and personally sent her onto the carriage. He ordered the attendants of the Hou Mansion to see him off, and watched the carriage slowly walk away with his own eyes.

"From today, two people will be sent to follow the county lord secretly, and then someone will be allowed to stare around the marquis' mansion to see if there are any idle people staring around."

He gave this order, and the attendants of the Marquis' Mansion responded. When Bo Ruoyou's carriage disappeared at the end of the long street, Huo Weilou turned around and entered the Marquis' Mansion's gate. The moment the mansion was closed, there was indeed a flash of figure in the dark alley in the distance. The cold wind blew up the snow on the ground and sobbed by. A series of footprints were clearly visible on the snow-covered snow.

Bo Ruoyou, who returned home, had many questions in his heart. After washing up, he rested almost with suspicion. When he got up the next morning, he saw Zhou Liang and Aunt Liang counting the New Year's goods he bought the day before yesterday, two of them were to cut new clothes for Bo Ruoyou.

Aunt Liang gestured and said, "I don't know what's good about it. The lady likes Suzhou, so I bought the Suzhou ones. But the lady is young and I buy the bright ones. Do I like it?"

Aunt Liang followed Cheng Yunzhi for many years and was already half an elder. Bo Ruoyou naturally smiled and said she liked her. Aunt Liang was a little satisfied, "I bought it at Liuji Satin Village in Dongcheng City. The young lady from that family recognized it."

Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, "I recognize it?"

"Miss, do you remember the last time you were doing rituals for your wife and master at Xiangguo Temple. Later, you were about to return to Beijing. When you went down the mountain, you met a young man?"

Bo Ruoyou remembered, "It's Liu Yan!"

Aunt Liang smiled and nodded, "It was that young master. When I went there yesterday, that young master still remembered me."
