Tantai Li finally arrested the two suspicious people. Of course, they did not admit that they had done such a sinful thing, and they all had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces. Tantai Li watched his people interrogating them in the dark. From his many years of experience, it seemed that these two people were lying. Maybe they really knew nothing, but even so, he could only let them know now. They took it well in prison, because maybe this was the safest place.
Tantai Ming was very satisfied with this approach, but what Tantai Li didn't expect was that the emperor actually ordered the execution of these two people. He made such an order before they admitted their crimes. Tantai Li was an insider. How could he not know what Tantai Ming was thinking? No wonder he was so anxious to arrest the two people and bring them to justice. He was obviously looking for a scapegoat, and he was also an accomplice in this matter.
Tantai Li couldn't stop what Tantai Ming did, but someone could, and that was the real murderer. This time, in the west of the city, ten households were killed in a row, with a total of forty-eight people. However, this time the method was very inconsistent and rough, as if he was in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to check the scene, leaving a few pieces of cloth that might be the murderer's.
After all, Wan Qiliang was a step too late. When her people discovered that those people were not in the room, the massacre in the west of the city had already begun. Logically speaking, such a method of tracking people should be careful without making mistakes, but the sprite and sprite did not see anyone coming or going. They just disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared in the west of the city to continue committing crimes.
The reason why the scene looked so messy was because when Xiao arrived in the west of the city, he saw how they committed the crime. They were just the last few people. He didn't have time to stop him, and they also found him. Those pieces of cloth were Xiao's. The only clue left in the process of trying to catch them was that everyone was masked and he couldn't see their faces clearly. Just when Xiao wanted to take the cloth away, Tantai Li took him People rushed over. I wonder if Tantai Li saw the back of the beast. If he did, things would become even more difficult.
Fortunately, Tantai Li did not notice the figure at that moment, but focused all his attention on the corpses scattered in front of him. Ten families were killed one after another according to their distance from the center of the city, a total of forty-eight Personally, I don’t have any information about them yet, but they don’t seem to be from a wealthy family.
It seems that the two people in prison will not be the murderers, but maybe Tantai Ming will define them as accomplices. Presumably those two people will never see the light of day again. He and themselves are to blame.
The clerks in the yamen have been very busy recently. They have handled more corpses during this period than in their entire career before this. But fortunately, these corpses were all killed by man. If there was any natural disaster, , maybe there will be some kind of infectious disease.
After about an hour, the workers finished examining all the corpses. The difference between this time and the previous two times was that the forty-eight people had all taken the same kind of drug, but the amount inhaled was slightly different. The people behind were obviously The person in front inhaled more than the person in front, which means that the drug may have been distributed from a farther place, or the person behind was drugged a second time, but the weight of these drugs was not enough to harm people. There were fatal injuries, so the cause of death was the large and small wounds on their bodies. Some died of excessive blood loss, and some were killed with a single knife. The weapons used were exactly the same as the previous two times. From this, it can be concluded that they belonged to a group of people. do.
As a result, Tantai Li could not say anything. For him, as long as someone died, it was his responsibility. If the murderer was not traced for a day, he would not be able to sleep or eat well. Moreover, the pressure that Tantai Ming put on him would also be unbearable. It will get bigger and bigger, and Tantai Jing's weirdness, these things are enough to give him a headache.
Tantai Li gave the few pieces of fabric left at the scene to the government officials and asked them to find out where the fabric came from. It didn't look like a good material, and the shop selling this kind of coarse linen clothes in Beiliang was not too popular. If you check them one by one, you should have the results soon. Now this is his only clue.
After Wan Qiliang heard the report, he decided to leave this matter to Tantai Li. Now there is only one direction to the north of the city. I am afraid that his people will also strengthen their troops in the north of the city, but I don't think it will delay that. The gang of murderers continued their murders, but I don't know where they are hiding now.
It was impossible to stay in the original inn again, especially after he discovered her people, he would not even go back there. The devil did not catch them, but was suspected of alerting the enemy, so they could not do anything for the time being. Well, besides, they weren't here for this group of people after all. Now she was even more eager to find Youluo's whereabouts.
But she had the same results as Tantai Jing. Since Qiu Le disappeared, the number of people sent out by Tantai Jing to look for her has increased every day, but it still has no effect. It cannot be said that Tantai Jing is incompetent, it can only be said that Qiu Le is too good at hiding. , maybe she has left Beiliang now, but according to the current situation, it is really more difficult to get out than to reach the sky.
"How's it going? Have you found her?" Tantai Jing now hopes it's news about Qiu Le when he hears any slightest disturbance. The longer she disappears, the more anxious he becomes. He clearly knows that she doesn't know his secret at all, but After she disappeared, he hardly slept peacefully once a day.
"The servant is incompetent, and there is still no whereabouts of the princess." Lin Si knelt on the ground. The prince's temper had become more and more irritable in the past two days. There were not many servants left in the mansion, and now there are even fewer servants. Several of the men who followed him were killed, which showed how angry the prince was.
"Why don't you find me quickly? What are you doing here? Get out!" Tantai Jing wanted to kick him, but in the end he dismissed Lin Si with words. He really needed to be alone now.
When did something wrong with Ju Le start? They used to have a very good relationship as a couple, but suddenly one day Jiu Le looked at him with a very strange look, and she avoided his touch. From that day on, he noticed something abnormal. But the next day, Jiu Le didn't seem to remember. When he asked, she really didn't know and wasn't pretending.
After this happened several times, Tantai Jing's original affection for Qiu Le gradually cooled down, but it seemed that his change had nothing to do with her, and she didn't see her caring about him as much as before. The relationship became more and more tense, until Tantai Jing became completely suspicious because Qiu Le's eating habits had changed. He then thought of finding a doctor to check on Qiu Le. The result was that Qiu Le was in good health. There were no signs of any illness at all, but something was still wrong with her.
So Tantai Jing really had no choice but to invite a well-known mage from a temple outside the city to come to the palace to see if there was anything unclean. As a result, the mage just walked to the door of the palace and said that the yin energy here was too strong, like With a rich man like him, it is easy for him to get hit. Someone in the house must have been persecuted because of this.
Naturally, Tantai Jing's first thought was of Qiu Le. He brought Qiu Le to the mage. The mage looked at her carefully twice, just shook his head and left without saying anything. Tantai Jing didn't know why, so he Qiu Le has been left out in the cold.
Thinking about it now, what did the mage's shaking head mean? When he caught up to ask, the mage only said, "God's destiny cannot be violated" and there was nothing else. What could such a sentence mean? Tantai Jing really wanted to think clearly but didn't have the ability. Maybe today, all he can think about is that Qiu Le will bring disaster to him, and such disaster cannot be avoided.
Regardless of whether Tantai Jing was overly concerned or not, he had to make sure to find Qiu Le, but as luck would have it, a woman who had always only known the three obediences and four virtues could even escape so cleanly. It seemed that he usually underestimated her too much. , thought she was a well-heeled lady, but in fact she may not have done anything behind his back.
Thinking that he might have a cuckold on his head, Tantai Jing's desire to find Jiu Le became even stronger. Is Jiu Le's inexplicable disappearance that night really like the idea that had emerged in his mind of meeting his lover privately? But the action was too big. As soon as he woke up, he would find that she was not there. Moreover, he was on guard when he was in the same room with her, but unfortunately he still let her run away.
Wan Qiliang's associations are not that rich, but considering whether Youluo has been killed now, although she doesn't know much, it is still quite a lot, and it is very simple to get rid of such a weak woman. It is not difficult to destroy the corpse and eliminate the traces. Otherwise, how could the two groups not find her whereabouts
In fact, not only the two groups, but Tantai Li also sent people to find the whereabouts of Qiu Le, but he sent very few people and did not pay much attention to this matter. After all, his current work focus is not Otherwise, looking for Qiu Le is just to pave the way for him to understand Tantai Jing.
There are more and more abnormal things happening, and Tantai Li feels more and more unable to do what he wants. Seventy-two people died one after another. If it were in a more remote place, they would be almost the same number of people in a village. From young to old, men and women, They haven't let it go. If such tragic things are not stopped, who knows who will be unlucky next
But everyone has their own destiny. Maybe they are destined to fall in this way, but I am afraid they will not be reconciled whether they are in heaven or hell. Maybe that resentment may Become an irresistible force.
