Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 99 The Mysterious Visitor
Shangyuan City, Xiliu Hutong.

Yu Li, Chen Youjia, has set up a coffin, hung up white flags, and prepared the coffin.

However, the coffin is still empty.

"My lord," Chen You begged Xu Zun in the hut in the side hall, "Can you be accommodating and let us take Xiaoying's body back!
"Our family holds funerals in accordance with Xuan Dao etiquette. If it exceeds the time limit for attracting souls, it will miss my Xiaoying's reincarnation date!"

"Don't worry," Xu Zun said, "Only when the murderer is caught, will Mrs. Zun have no regrets about leaving, and it will be more convenient for her to reincarnate."

"This..." Chen You had never heard of such a statement, and was immediately speechless.

"Let me ask you something," Xu Zun asked, "Have you ever heard of the names Ran Lin and Lian Yushu in your family?"

"Hmm..." Chen You thought for a while, then shook his head.

At this moment, apart from Xu Zun, Lu Mingyue, Huo Anu, and that extremely helpless Taoist priest Wei Bei followed behind.

"Lian Yushu is the daughter of a company member," Xu Zun added.

"The company member?" Chen You nodded slightly, "Could it be the company member in the east of the city? I've heard of it, I've heard of it... His family is rich, and some people say that he is the richest man in the Yuan Dynasty!

"My lord, what do you ask him for? How can I, a young official, know such a prominent person?"

"Okay, I still have a few questions I want to ask," Xu Zun said again, "Did Madam Zun like sandalwood?"

"Sandalwood? This..." Chen You pointed to the mourning hall, "Our family believes in Xuan Dao, and we often light incense, not often, but every day."

But seeing that there is indeed sandalwood in the mourning hall, but it is not the smell that Xu Zun wants.

"No..." Xu Zun shook his head and said, "Apart from these commonly used ones, would your wife order some special sandalwood? Or... incense?"

"This... this has never happened before, has it?"

Chen You couldn't be sure, so he called the maid at home to ask in detail.

The maid said that Xiaoying never lit incense.

"Brother Xu," Lu Mingyue whispered to Xu Zun from behind, "What do you use this sandalwood incense for?"

"There is a special fragrance on the body of the deceased," Xu Zun said, "I want to know about it."

"That's great," Lu Mingyue said, "I know something about these things, so let me smell it later! See if I can smell what kind of fragrance it is?
"Also," she added, "There is Qingqing in our academy. Her family runs an aromatherapy shop. The incense burner I use now was given to me by her. If I can't smell it, then she must smell it." I can smell it!"

"Okay," Xu Zun sighed sincerely, "This is really... It's easy to travel when you have more friends!"

Next, Xu Zun asked some routine questions to Chen You and Xiaoying's maid.

After the maid left, Xu Zun finally revealed the ultimate purpose of his trip, and asked Chen You:

"Chen Yuli, I heard that you were a jailer before, right?"

"My lord, yes," Chen You said without any hesitation, "It was during the Xianyuan period, and I worked in the South Prison of Shangyuan City. After only one year, I was transferred to the granary..."

"Oh..." Xu Zun nodded, and asked again, "Did you ever meet that famous monk Lian Kong?"

"Ah?" Chen You swallowed, nodded and said, "I've seen, once a colleague was sick, and I gave him food!"

"Really?" Xu Zun asked, "Have you ever talked to him?"

"No...no!" Chen You said hastily, "That evil monk is a repeat murderer, I dare not talk to him. I remember, when I brought him food, he was lying on the table writing his scriptures!"

"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "At that time, did you hear any secrets about that monk? Are there any other jailers who are particularly interested in that Lian Kong?"

"This..." Chen You replied, "Of course there are secret stories and so on, and there are quite a few! For such a big case, someone will naturally make up some stories.

"But I can't remember what I made it up to now!
"As for anyone who is interested in that monk, when I left the prison of the South Prison, the monk had only been imprisoned for a few months, it seems... there is no such person as you said, but..."

Oh?
Hearing this "but", Xu Zun instantly refreshed himself.

"I remember when I was in Nanjian," Chen You recalled, "except for the abbot of the temple, there was one person who went to Nanjian to visit the monk almost every week."

"What?" Xu Zun and the others were surprised, Qi Qi asked, "Who is it?"

"Then I don't know!" Chen You replied, "I only know that the person's status is very noble, and he has many followers every time.

"I asked those colleagues, and they don't know who that person is, they only know that every time he visits Li Kong, he has to stay for a long time."

"It's so strange!" Lu Mingyue whispered behind Xu Zun, "To be able to go in and see that prisoner must have a lot of background, right?"

"Yeah, yeah," Chen You added, "it must have a lot of background, without the relationship with the county guard, it is absolutely impossible to get in!"

Oh……

Xu Zun already knew it well, if he wanted to know who this mysterious visitor was, he just had to find Taimin and ask him.

"Alas..." At this moment, Chen You thought of his lovely wife, and suddenly lamented, "I never thought that ten years later, it would be on my head!

"My lord... My Xiaoying is wearing a monk's robe, and there are rumors outside that the killer in the monk's robe has been resurrected!

"Can you tell me, is it true?"

Gee...

This is not the first time Xu Zun has heard this kind of statement today. It seems that the rumors about the monk's killer can no longer be stopped.

"Chen Yuli, don't get excited," Xu Zun had no choice but to persuade, "Don't believe in rumors, don't worry, we will definitely find out the case as soon as possible!

"By the way," Xu Zun recalled something, and said again, "One last thing to bother Chen Yuli, please give me Madam Zun's date of birth..."

……

On the way back to the county office, Lu Mingyue naturally couldn't keep her mouth idle.

"It's terrible," she said, clenching her fists. "I was a child at that time! Even though I was a child, I can still remember this terrible case.

"Someone seems to say that the monk-robed killer is a flying demon that eats girls, scaring us so much that we can't even sleep..."

"Master Xu," Wei Beihui, who had been mute for a long time, suddenly joined the discussion and asked Xu Zun, "From what you can see, did the arresters of the county government really catch the wrong person?" what?"

"I've read the file," Xu Zun said, "Monk Liankong confessed to his crimes, and the details of the confession are not different from the scene. Even if the wrong person is really arrested, the county government can't blame the police."

"Then..." Wei Bei shook his hands back, and said meaningfully, "The poor don't understand. If the wrong person was really caught back then, why did the murderer come out to commit the crime now?"

"So," said Xu Zun, "we must find out who that mysterious visitor is as soon as possible!"

"Wuliang Tianzun," Wei Beihui suddenly stopped, and said to Xu Zun, "you are so arbitrarily wrong to speculate! Pindao can tell you now, who is that mysterious visitor?" !"

"Oh?" Xu Zun and the others were surprised.

"That person," Wei Bei twirled the floating dust with his hands back and said the answer, "It's the Marquis of Changping..."
