Chapter 98

After half an hour.

Ran Lin's house in the east city of Shangyuan City.

"It's unlikely, what happened last night..." Jingwu school lieutenant Shen Xinglian was very surprised when he heard the report from his subordinates, "Recently, due to the disappearance of the daughter of the Hou family, the garrison's city patrol has been in a state of strengthening.

"There are two patrol teams alternately on duty in the East City area. There are almost no dead spots. If someone kidnaps Ran Lin's wife in the middle of the night, they will definitely be discovered by the patrol teams.

"Unless..." He looked around, "The murderer lives nearby!"

"My lord," upon hearing this, a soldier commander immediately stepped forward to ask for a job, "If this is the case, then let's search the area thoroughly!?"

"The search should be done, but the key is..." Shen Xinglian showed concern, "The people living in the East City area are rich and powerful businessmen. We have searched more than once because of the daughter of the Marquis Mansion. If we bother you repeatedly, I'm afraid it will have a bad effect!

"In my opinion, we need to ask Lieutenant Yuan for instructions on this matter, so don't act rashly."

"Yes!" The captains agreed, but they were clearly dissatisfied.

Xu Zun looked at everything in front of him, still thinking about the case in his mind.

Earlier, the maid of Ran Lin's family had confirmed that she and Ran Lin's wife Lian Yushu went to bed early last night, but when they woke up in the morning, they found that Lian Yushu was gone!
The maid thought that Lian Yushu had returned to her mother's house, so she hurried to find Lian Yushu's house.

The company members were quite worried, so they sent people to look around, and just happened to meet the soldiers who came to report the news, and only then did they know that their daughter had been killed.

The family was in great grief, and they all rushed to the Luohan Temple, leaving only the maid to be questioned.

"It's all the same as usual!" The servant girl said to Xu Zun and others with a sad face, "My lady is always very tired after she is pregnant, and she goes to bed early at night. This night, I didn't hear anything... "

When the servant girl said this, she seemed to notice something was wrong, her eyes froze suddenly.

"What?" Shen Xinglian immediately caught her strangeness, and asked, "Did you think of something?"

"Yes..." the servant girl said uncertainly, "It's just that I'm usually worried about what's going to happen to my lady at night, so I've been sleeping very lightly, but yesterday I didn't know why, I slept very deeply, and I still had a headache when I woke up this morning..."

"Oh? Xu Zun," upon hearing this, Shen Xinglian immediately turned around and said to Xu Zun, "I suspect that she may be drugged!"

"Hmm..." Xu Zun also felt the same way.

"My God, why..." The servant girl was puzzled, "Why would someone kill a lady? She...she is such a good person!"

"Your wife..." Xu Zun asked, "How do you know?"

"My wife believes in Buddhism," said the servant girl, "I eat fast and recite Buddha's name on weekdays. She is kind-hearted and often helps the poor..."

Oh?
Xu Zun was surprised because Xiaoying, the deceased who was found in the Huguo Temple before, believed in Xuan Dao and did not believe in Buddhism.

"She..." Xu Zun asked again, "Has she never had any grudges with anyone?"

"Of course!" the servant girl cried, "My lady is such a good person, how could she have a grudge against others? Wuwu... Who is the murderer who was murdered by the gods? My wife is so pitiful, Wuhu..."

Xu Zun immediately asked the maid again, does this Lian Yushu know Xiaoying?Do you know Yuli Chen You?

The maids all shook their heads in denial, but they cried more and more sadly. Xu Zun had no choice but to ask Huo Anu to comfort him, and took the opportunity to talk to the maids to continue to understand the situation of the victim.

"Xu Zun," seeing no one around, Shen Xinglian said to Xu Zun again, "Ran Lin is mine, and I also have the right to participate in this case. I hope we can cooperate well regardless of past suspicions."

When speaking, Shen Xinglian's face turned slightly red, but he was still embarrassed.

I don't know, does this count as taking the initiative to reconcile with Xu Zun?

However, Xu Zun didn't care about his words, but directly said to him:
"The Monk Killer is not just killing people, he will perform an operation on the deceased, destroy the internal organs, and finally suture the wound precisely.

"The whole killing process will last for a long time!"

"Oh..." Shen Xinglian's eyes widened, "You mean, the murderer did it very early last night, not in the middle of the night?"

"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "He may have stunned the master and servant with drugs, and then kidnapped Ran's wife. At that time, I'm afraid it was still in Haishi!"

"Oh..." Shen Xinglian finally understood what Xu Zun wanted to express, "This is adjacent to the most prosperous neighborhood in Shangyuan City. During Haishi, there are still many pedestrians on the road. Do you think the murderer should take advantage of the crowd to take people into captivity?" leaving!?"

"To take away a large living person," Xu Zun said, "the murderer must have a suitable means of transportation, such as a carriage."

"I understand, but..." Shen Xinglian frowned, "I just said that although you found the daughter of the Hou Mansion last night, the patrols in the city have not been disarmed, and all suspicious vehicles must be inspected unless...

"Either my people are lax," Shen Xinglian speculated, "or, the vehicle is not suspicious, and there is no need to check it!"

"Oh..." Xu Zun closed his eyes, recalled the map of Shangyuan City and analyzed, "The victim lives in Dongshi, and the Luohan Temple is located in the south of the city...

"There is no trace of murder in the Arhat Temple, so the murderer needs to transport the victim somewhere to kill, and then put the body in the Arhat Temple.

"Shangyuan City is so big, and there are patrols everywhere, it is impossible for him to transport the victim to the west or north. He can only control the three directions of east, south and middle!
"Aside from that, the murderer had a suitable vehicle."

"Okay, once you say that, I know what to do!" Shen Xinglian clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Just call the soldiers who patrolled this area last night for questioning, maybe we can find the suspect!

"Xu Zun, I'll do it right away!"

"Hmm..." Xu Zun nodded and said, "I'm going to investigate somewhere now, and we'll meet up at the county office later."

"Okay!" Shen Xinglian nodded, turned and walked towards his subordinates.

Xu Zun turned his head and was about to call out to Huo Anu when he saw Lu Mingyue sitting on a stone bench crying in the distance.

Wei Beihui stood by the side helplessly, as if he had exhausted his words but to no avail.

"What's the matter, Miss Lu?" Xu Zun came to the front and said, "If you are not in good condition, then hurry back to the Hou's Mansion first, and I will report back to you when I find out the clues!"

"Wuwu, you made fun of me!" Lu Mingyue wiped away tears, and Lihua said rainingly, "You know that I'm blaming myself, but you don't come here to persuade me, and even drive me away, hmph, this is Do you look like a big brother?"

"What are you blaming yourself for?" Xu Zun asked knowingly.

"Hmph," Lu Mingyue snorted again, "I don't want to do this either! But if I hadn't made such a big noise, how could I have attracted their attention, how could I find Xiaofeng, and how could I find those missing girls?

"Brother Xu," she said worriedly, "Those missing girls will also be killed by this monk-robed killer, right? It's too...too cruel. How can there be such a person in the world?"

"It's okay," Xu Zun stretched out his palm to Lu Mingyue, "Come with me! As long as we brothers and sisters work together to find this monk-robed killer, you will feel at ease! Come on..."

"This……"

Lu Mingyue's eyes lit up, swept away the previous haze, and immediately grabbed Xu Zun's hand.

The moment she held Xu Zun, in addition to being full of energy, she also felt shy throbbing faintly...
