Sure enough, when Wan Qiliang and Youqin Jiatian wanted to take Qiu Le back, they saw the bright lights in Prince Jing's mansion outside. They thought that Tantai Jing had woken up, but found that the person beside his pillow was missing. Of course, he had to Ordered to search.
Wan Qiliang wanted to pick a room and throw Youluo in, but unexpectedly, the room he chose happened to be Tantai Jing's bedroom. The furnishings and atmosphere inside were very normal, so Wan Qiliang didn't stay any longer. He left with Youqin Jiatian.
However, he never expected that Qiu Le, who was safe and sound, would be accused of stealing by Tantai Jing'an. He originally wanted to write a divorce letter, but considering that the family scandal should not be publicized, he put Qiu Le under house arrest in the palace.
When Qiu Le woke up, she didn't know what had happened. She had suffered such a misfortune. Tantai Jing's cold and disgusted eyes deeply irritated her. She had been married to him for so many years. Although she had not given birth to a child, she was still under the care of her husband. There had never been any mistakes in his life, and now he was placing such a huge sin on himself without even giving him an explanation. Ju Le simply couldn't imagine that this was the man he had loved for so many years.
Qiu Le's frustration just happened to fulfill another person in her body. It turns out that it is so simple for a man to get things done. With just a few words and a few looks, he can send Qiu Le into eternal doom. From this, it can be seen that Qiu Le loves him much more than him.
Wan Qiliang thought about it and felt that this matter was fishy no matter how he looked at it. Tantai Jing didn't even give Qiu Le a chance to explain. Maybe it was his machismo, or maybe he didn't need Qiu Le at all. explain. Just like what Youluo said before, Tantai Jing noticed something was wrong, so he didn't want to keep Qiu Le by his side, and Youluo just took advantage of Tantai Jing's mentality to completely make Qiu Le disappear. It seems that She has been planning for a long time, and Wan Qiliang is just a pawn she used.
But ideas are ideas, and no one knows what will happen, but Wan Qiliang is not in the mood to investigate Youluo's position now. What happened in the east of the city is enough to make her even more worried.
This morning, the Yamen received a report that a family in the east of the city had been murdered. The originally happy family of three now only had a dying father. It was this father who crawled out of the house, and they knew what was going on inside. things.
When a murder occurred, it was impossible for the Yamen to ignore it. After some interrogation, the results were even more shocking. It turned out that this family was not the only one who was killed. Counting them, there were as many as four families in the east of the city who were attacked, and all of them were Out of a family of three and twelve people, only the father survived, but it seemed that it would not take long before he died.
Four families were killed one after another. This has never happened in Beiliang. Moreover, judging from the method of committing the crime, it was a group of people if not one person. The target was obviously the daughter of each family. , the four little girls were all beaten to death with blunt instruments. A large piece of their skulls were dented, and they were so disfigured that they were unrecognizable. However, their bodies were intact and there were no signs of violence. But what was even more strange was that they Everyone's two front teeth are missing. Could it be that the murderer still has the habit of collecting front teeth
As for the parents of each family, they died very happily. Their hands were tied behind the chairs, their eyes were blindfolded, and their mouths were blocked. The cause of death was a stab wound directly into the heart. The father who survived by luck He survived because his heart was on the right side, but due to excessive blood loss, he accompanied his family near noon.
The only witness also died. A murder case suddenly became an unsolved case. No useful clues could be found at the scene. The ground was full of the footprints of those who rushed in this morning. Even if there were any traces, they were all found. It's been erased, so obviously there's no way to trace it now.
Moreover, once something happens among the people, it is inevitable to spread the word from one to ten, and the murder that happened in the east of the city was even heard about in the west of the city. It can be seen that the publicity of the common people is much stronger than that of the imperial court. But maybe this can improve people's awareness of prevention, but more often it causes people to panic. When such a ruthless executioner suddenly appears in the town where he has lived for so long, it will inevitably leave a lot of shadows in people's hearts.
Especially several families in the east of the city had already packed their bags and prepared to leave when the Yamen sent people to investigate the scene. Most of them were families of three. It was obvious that the murderer was looking for such a combination to attack. They did not want to be here. Sitting there waiting for death, I could only pray for an early escape.
This idea is correct. If you don't protect yourself, the murderer will come to your door in the next second. You won't be able to escape even if you want to. Watching your daughter die in front of you, Wan Qiliang doesn't believe that any parent can bear it, and Still in that bloody way.
But things have already happened, and the deaths of twelve people cannot be undone no matter what. The only thing that makes Wan Qiliang feel somewhat comforted is that this murder was obviously caused by man, and has nothing to do with those messy things. At least it can be easier during the investigation process, but the current approach of the court is tantamount to "finding a needle in a haystack."
The people around did not give any useful suggestions, and they did not remember whether there were any outsiders who could do it nearby. After all, the east side of the city was also an important entrance to Beiliang City, and there were thousands of people coming and going every day. There were hundreds of them, and if every one of them could be the murderer, they wouldn't be able to tell who it was.
Instead of pinning the matter on some ignorant people, it is better to pray that the people in the court can do things more efficiently. No one wants this to happen. I really don’t know how they could do this to a little girl. They are completely a bunch of people. Help the beast!
"How is the investigation going? Are there still no clues at all?" As the king of a country, Tantai Ming is helpless now. Although he is not like an ant on a hot pot, he is still anxious and full of anger. There is nowhere to vent.
"My brother has sent people to investigate, but there is still no result." Tantai Li's mood is probably the same as that of Tantai Ming. In the past few years, Qiliang has been under their governance, not to mention the good weather and the peace and prosperity of the country. But recently, The incidents that have occurred are really overwhelming. The death of twelve people may only mean that the entire country has lost a few people, but the negative impact it has caused is very serious. No one wants to live there. The place is full of dangers, and no one wants to be neighbors with a murderer, but until they catch the murderer, this is what anyone may face.
"Continue to send more manpower to investigate. We must bring the murderer to justice." Tantai Ming slammed his hands on the table, and even the corners of the table shook, which showed how hard he used it.
"Yes, my brother, let's do it now." Tantai Li now has very few clues in his hand, so he can only investigate carefully around the east side of the city. This is indeed a job that requires manpower, but continuing like this is not an option at all. He still needs Just take a long-term view.
Wan Qiliang and Youqin Jiatian changed their residences in order to prevent others from finding them. In this case, their appearance may be regarded as murderers and arrested. Wan Qiliang has no interest in arresting them. The prison was used as a residence.
This whole murder case is actually quite strange. The four families did not know each other, let alone have any contact with each other, but they were killed one after another. If the murderer is currently such a group of people, then what exactly is the reason for killing these people? For what
The four families are all very clean. Two of them make a living by doing small businesses. The man of one family is a teacher at a private school in the east of the city. As for the man of the other family, he is the accountant of a restaurant in the city. Logically speaking, these four families None of them were rich, and the robbery was of little value. Except for the unidentifiable silver, their belongings were still intact, which proved that the murderer was not motivated by money.
If it's for people, these four families are all honest and have never made enemies with anyone. If a few words can be used as a reason to kill, it is still possible, so no matter how I check it, I don't think this is the case. Is there any reason why the four families must die? Is it really okay to kill without a reason? Just to experience the thrill of killing
It's not that Wan Qiliang hasn't thought about this possibility, but the possibility is really unlikely, not to mention killing so many people in a short period of time. In her opinion, if it's not about money or people, then it's a demonstration or a warning. The targets will definitely not be ordinary people, but officials or even the emperor.
Once the people's panic begins, many unfavorable thoughts and rumors will take advantage of it. When people are panicked, everyone's psychological endurance will be reduced, and it will be easy to do some irrational things. When the time comes, the situation will be certain. It will get more chaotic, and maybe someone just wants to see this scene. In such a situation, if you can make a profit, it is equivalent to making a fortune from a national crisis. You may not be able to feel at ease, but what you can gain is definitely much more than what you lose.
Thinking of this, the first person that flashed in Wan Qiliang's mind was Tantai Jing, but she was still not sure whether Tantai Jing had the courage to take human life. And if it was him, what was the explanation for the removed front teeth
What does the tooth symbolize? What would be the use of that little section? Wan Qiliang couldn't understand it, and judging from the gap in the gum, it was really broken by someone. Although the person didn't feel any pain after death, it made the corpse look more ferocious. In the pool of blood, if their eyes were still there, I believe they would die with their eyes open.
