Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 97

Not long after, Tai Min, the county guard, and Ju Ran, the head catcher, also rushed to Luohan Temple one after another.

They were in a different mood from Li Yan, the governor. In addition to being physically and mentally exhausted, they also felt unprecedented depression. The intensive case had already made them breathless.

If the case of the female monk's corpse continues to ferment, then the mistakes they made just now because of concealing the report will continue to be magnified, and eventually it will be out of control.

Moreover, this case is also related to whether their judgment was correct that year, which is of great importance.

When the two arrived, Yuan Xingtai, the cavalry school lieutenant of the garrison, had just arrived.I don't know where he came from, he looked like a traveler.

The three of them didn't care about greetings, and hurried to the Arhat Temple together to check the situation.

At this time, Xu Zun had already started to question Wu Zhengran Lin.

Ran Lin calmed down a little, but she still couldn't hide the grief of losing her beloved wife, her expression was numb, her eyes were dull, and she seemed to have lost her soul.

"My wife, Lian Yushu, is 21 years old, and she has been married for two years," Ran Lin said numbly, "He is the only daughter of a large family in the east of the city, and he asked someone to say that a matchmaker married me..."

"Your wife..." Xu Zun asked, "When did she disappear?"

"Missing?" Ran Lin shook her head, "No? Recently, because of the search for the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, I have been taking my people to search the nearby villages and towns. Yushu...she has been at home..."

"Is there anyone else at home?" Xu Zun asked.

"Yes," Ran Lin replied, "Yushu is pregnant, so we hired a maid to wait on her! Maid... I haven't returned home yet, so I wonder how the maid is doing now?"

"Captain," at this time, someone from Ran Lin's subordinates asked Ying, "I know your family, let me take a few brothers to your house to have a look!"

"Oh," Ran Lin agreed blankly.

"Wait a minute!" Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "According to what Ran Wuzheng said, Mrs. Zun was probably kidnapped by the murderer at home.

"You just need to seal off Ran Wuzheng's home, don't trespass without authorization, I want to check the scene myself."

"Yes!" The subordinates took orders, and immediately several of them jumped on their horses and ran towards Ran Lin's house.

"Ran Lin," said Shen Xinglian next to him at this time, "The daughter of the Hou Mansion has been found, and the teams were notified to withdraw last night. Why didn't you go home?"

"Master Shen," Ran Lin replied, "We had already arrived in Xinye County last night, and it was already late at night when the news arrived, and the night was freezing cold, so I spent the night there with my subordinates, and only set off to return this morning.

"Alas..." His sigh already brought out tears, "If I had known this, I should have returned home in the starry night!"

"Hmph! It's all to blame for the daughter of the Hou's Mansion," suddenly, a soldier commander beside him said angrily, "I heard that she disappeared on purpose and hid in the Hou's Mansion at all, but let us soldiers have a lot of fun. what!"

"That's right," another echoed, "If it wasn't for this, Big Brother Ran would be able to stay with Sister-in-law all the time, and Sister-in-law wouldn't have any accidents at all!"

At this moment, Lu Mingyue was right behind Xu Zun, and she could hear it clearly, and immediately blushed, feeling ashamed.

Wei Beihui couldn't hear such words, and immediately stepped forward, wanting to reprimand these two ignorant commanders.

However, Lu Mingyue pulled Wei Bei back and signaled him not to worry about it.

"Bastard! You two will die if you don't say a few words!?" Shen Xinglian knew that Lu Mingyue was at the scene, and immediately reprimanded the two captains severely.

"Yes..." The two captains got in without knowing it, and immediately shut up.

Xu Zun knew very well in his heart that the monk-robed killer definitely didn't randomly find Ran Lin's wife, there must be a reason for it.

Even if Ran Lin stayed with his wife all the time, disasters might still be unavoidable.

So, he asked Ran Lin again: "Ran Wuzheng, do you know a person named Chen You?"

"Chen You?" Ran Lin thought for a while and shook her head.

"He is a Yu official," Xu Zun reminded, "His wife is named Xiaoying, the daughter of a groom in the military camp."

Xu Zun said the groom's name, but Ran Lin still shook her head numbly.

"Xu Zun," Shen Xinglian said, "there are at least 200 grooms in the garrison army, and they are distributed in various camps. They cannot be recognized."

"My lord, my lord..." Suddenly, Ran Lin thought of something, and asked Xu Zun excitedly, "Yu Shu is wearing a monk's robe, please tell me, is someone imitating the monk's robe killer to kill?"

"This..." Xu Zun didn't answer directly.

"It's not certain at the moment," Shen Xing linked to the chatter, "You first express your condolences, I believe Mr. Xu and the others will be able to investigate the case clearly!"

"Really?" Ran Lin became more and more excited, "Why do I hear rumors that this case is not a copycat crime, but that the real monk-robed killer has returned?"

"Ran Lin!" Hearing this, Yuan Xingtai immediately stepped forward to stop, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence! You also know it's hearsay, so don't spread rumors to confuse people's hearts!"

"My lord, it was my wife who died!" Ran Lin stood up and said excitedly, "Is it the monk's clothes killer? Shouldn't they explain it to us!?"

With that said, he turned to look at Sheriff Tai Min and Ju Ran.

Tai Min and Ju Ran suddenly looked embarrassed, extremely cramped.

"Ran Lin," Yuan Xingtai stopped again, "I know you are sad, but you must not talk nonsense.

"Ten years ago, that evil monk had subdued the law, this is something that everyone in Shangyuan City knows!

"There is no doubt that your wife's case, and the case that happened in Huguo Temple a few days ago, are deliberately imitated by someone!

"I can understand you, but you must not be confused," Yuan Xingtai raised his voice, and he seemed to be speaking to Ran Lin, but in fact he was speaking to all the soldiers present, "You should know that if the monk's uniform killer is spread What are the consequences of such rumors being alive?
"If the higher-ups get angry, at least you will be judged to deceive the public, and at worst, you will lose your head!"

Yuan Xingtai's words were resounding, and everyone present immediately realized how serious the problem was.

Yes!

If everyone in Shangyuan City thought that the monk-robed killer had come back to life, or had beheaded the wrong person back then, it would definitely cause storms in the city and everyone would panic.

In that case, the consequences will be disastrous.

"My lord," Ran Lin burst into tears, but he gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "No matter what, my wife is innocent!
"Besides, I lost not only my wife, but two lives!

"Whether it's the killer in monk clothes or not, I hope all the adults can find the murderer, and give me justice!"

After speaking, he turned and entered the Arhat Temple to guard his wife's body.

"Master Xu..." Ju Ran came to Xu Zun's side and asked, "Look, what should we do with the dead body?"

"Autopsy," Xu Zun said bluntly, "However, give Ran Lin some time and let him calm down before we talk!"

"Don't worry," Shen Xinglian said, "He is my subordinate, I will persuade him later!"

Xu Zun didn't respond, his eyes were fixed in a straight line, looking straight ahead, as if he was thinking about something.

"This case... Alas!" Li Yan was exhausted by now. He came to Xu Zun's side and said solemnly, "Ji Ying, this case... I'll leave it to you!"
