Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 87 The Missing Beautiful Girl
"What's going on?" Li Yan was shocked when he heard the words, and then asked Tai Min, "Tai Min, tell me, what is going on!?"

"My...my lord..." Tai Min slid down from the chair and said to Li Yan, "No...not so exaggerated, no..."

"Bastard!" Li Yan was furious, "Isn't it an exaggeration that 17 women disappeared in three years? Then how much do you think is an exaggeration?"

"My lord, the humble job should be damned!" Tai Min knelt down on the ground, shaking like a sieve, "The humble job is incompetent, after receiving so many reports, the humble job... the humble job can't be found, can't... find..."

"Master Tai," seeing the scene in front of him, Yuan Xingtai was also very surprised, and couldn't help saying to Tai Min, "It seems that it's not that you can't find it, but that such a case has happened, you shouldn't Hiding the report?

"Why don't you notify our garrison and help find it together?"

"Lieutenant Yuan's words are very true," Li Yan said angrily, "How dare you conceal such a serious case? It's an extra crime! You don't want to be a sheriff anymore, do you?"

"My lord," Tai Min argued bitterly, "it's not that the lowly officials want to conceal the report, it's just that the investigation of these cases is really clueless, and we have tried our best!"

"You still dare to argue?" Li Yan shouted angrily, "Now even Lord Hou's daughter is missing, so you are satisfied?
"Let me tell you, if Miss Lu can be found safely, you can pay it back, if you can't find it, you can wait to hand over your head!
"Come here," he yelled outside, "put Tai Min in prison and wait for his release!"

"My lord, my lord..." Taimin prostrated himself on the ground, trembling, "I beg you to forgive me, my lord, please forgive me..."

"Lord Li," at this moment, Xu Zun stopped Li Yan and persuaded him, "Although Lord Tai is at fault, the serial disappearances are quite strange, and there may be hidden secrets in them, so let's wait until we find out more about them! "

"Yes, yes..." Yuan Xingtai echoed, "Lord Li, the most urgent thing is to find the daughter of the Marquis Mansion first. If you want to punish the crime, don't be in a hurry?"

"Hmm..." Li Yan came back to his senses and said to Taimin, "Since the two adults are pleading for you, I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. Hurry up and take out the files of these missing women and give them to Xu Ti. Do some research!"

"This..." Tai Min's face turned pale, and he broke out in cold sweat.

"Hmph, he took the case, where is the file..." Zhao Yu hugged his shoulders and made a stab from the side.

Hearing this, Taimin lowered his head, as if he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

"What an incompetent person, what a bastard!" Li Yan cursed.

The so-called "eating a case" means that the family members of the victim came to report the case. In order to maintain the rate of solving the case, the government clearly accepted the case, but secretly did not file a case for investigation and dragged the case out in a daze.

This is a common thing in the feudal yamen, and it is not serious, but if there is a major case and you have to eat it, the nature will be different!

Taimin shivered, feeling ashamed.

"It doesn't matter," Xu Zun said calmly while holding up the blue book, "Master Tai Min, please tell us first, what is going on with these missing women?"

"Hmm..." Tai Min lay on the ground, not daring to look up, "Three years ago, we received reports of missing girls one after another..."

"Get up, get up and talk!" Li Yan yelled because he thought he couldn't speak clearly.

Only then did Tai Min stand up, and explained in detail:
"At first, we didn't take it seriously and left it to the officers.

"Unexpectedly, the cases followed one after another until several cases of missing girls happened one after another, which attracted our attention.

"At that time, we felt that the situation was wrong, and we really wanted to report it, but... Ju Ran was known as a god arrester, and I was also obsessed with ghosts. I was afraid of punishment from above, so in order to keep Shangyuan City's detection rate, I covered up the case. come down...

"My lord," Tai Min said with a bitter face, "We have really tried our best to find them, but these girls seem to have evaporated from the world, disappearing without a trace, leaving no clues behind.

"Later, a lot of cases happened again. We knew we couldn't solve it, so we just... just..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Ju Ran entering the room with a big cardboard box in his arms.

"Okay, he came just in time!" Tai Min simply pointed to Ju Ran, "He knows these things better than me, let him talk about it!"

"Say?" Ju Ran smiled confusedly, "What are you talking about, my lord?"

……

A moment later, Ju Ran knelt on the ground, his face turned pale, and he was sweating, and he said in a trembling voice:
"I said, I said everything, please forgive the adults!" He bowed to all the officials and said, "The first one to disappear was Chen Jiao from Lidian, who was only 9 years old.

"Because it was in a rural field like Lidian, it was first treated as human trafficking.

"We put up notices and searched nearby towns, but in the end we couldn't find Chen Jiao's whereabouts.

"However, it didn't take long before we realized that something was wrong!" Ju Ran said, "There have been cases of disappearances in Shangyuan County one after another, and the missing people are all beautiful girls ranging in age from 9 to 14 years old!

"That's when we paid attention and started to investigate with all our strength, but... no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't find any clues.

"These girls..." Ju Ran raised her head, "They all disappeared strangely, and even a few of them disappeared with the whole family!"

"what!?"

Xu Zun was shocked, and suddenly thought of Lu Xiaofeng who disappeared mysteriously.

When Lu Xiaofeng was 14 years old, his whole family disappeared together, and even the Lu Family Bookstore was destroyed.

"Look," Li Yan clapped his hands and shouted, "How serious things have become, look at what you have done!
"If it could have attracted attention earlier, would it have reached the point where it is today?
"Xu Tixing, there is no doubt," Li Yan turned to Xu Zun, "The daughter of the Hou family is also one of the serial disappearances of girls! Who are these people? They are so daring and lawless!"

This……

Xu Zun looked at the blue book in his hand, but he was thinking about something else.

"Anu," he whispered to Huo Anu, "how did you get this book?"

"Didn't I tell you!" Huo Anu said, "I don't know who stuffed it in my schoolbag!"

"You..." Xu Zun asked again, "Tell me quickly, what exactly did you see in the academy?"

"It's just a few elderly Taoist nuns, telling us some profound scriptures and morals, which are boring and difficult to understand, very boring.

"However...they said that the next class will teach calligraphy and painting..."

"Choose the important ones," Xu Zun reminded, "Have you encountered any special things?"

"No?" Huo Anu said, "It's all normal, those little girls think I'm a foreigner, and they think it's strange, asking this and that..."

"What did I ask you?" Zhao Yu realized something and interrupted to ask.

"Didn't you just ask me where I came from and why did I go to school there?" Huo Anu said, "I'll tell them honestly that I'm the guard of Tangzhou's criminal punishment, and I'm here to investigate Miss Lu's disappearance..."

"Oh," Zhao Yu grinned, "Isn't this a lie?"

"Hey?" Huo Anu looked at Xu Zun, "Didn't Master Xu teach me to say that?"

"Yes!" Xu Zun gave a thumbs up, "That's pretty good, now, I seem to have figured out more than half of it!

"It is precisely because Huo Anu revealed her purpose of going to Qinglan Academy that this book was stuffed into her schoolbag." Xu Zun smiled mysteriously, "This shows that in Qinglan Academy, someone is helping Us!"
