Chapter 191 Ten Flowers 05

"What's weird?" Wu Xiang asked in surprise.

Bao Ruoyou frowned, "His testimony is no different from what I heard that day. Usually I can't remember the scene back then, but recently I have been having nightmares. In the nightmare, I thought it was that night. I heard the sound of the Sanqing Bell, but Li Shen's testimony did not mention that he was carrying the Sanqing Bell at the time. Not only that, I doubt where I was hiding at that time, and it was not as simple as what he said."

Wu Xiang raised his thick eyebrows, "Dreaming? If it's just a dream, I'm afraid it won't be accurate..."

Bao Ruoyou looked at Huo Weilou, feeling a little anxious in her heart. She had been working for a widower for many years, but she didn’t know that her dreams could not be true. Coupled with her strange illness, what she said now was indeed a bit powerless, but it had also been over the years. Working as a widower gave her a keener insight than ordinary people, and she knew clearly that this dream was by no means without reason.

Huo Weilou shook her hand reassuringly, "Where are the evidences in the other cases?"

Wu Xiang immediately said: "I will go get it now."

As soon as Wu Xiang left, Huo Wei said: "Don't worry, read more testimonies. Since this person commits crimes serially, his habits must be similar."

Bo Ruoyou felt a little uneasy in his heart. Not long after, Wu Xiang fetched several other confessions. Bo Ruoyou calmed down and sat down at the table to read.

In addition to Bo Lanzhou's case, there were five cases including Ming Guilan's case. Ming Guilan was the only one to escape. The other four children all died unexpectedly. They were either unsolved cases or ruled as accidents that year. Li Shen They are also very cautious when using Feiyun Temple to hunt targets, so it may take two or three years before they dare to commit a crime.

Bo Ruoyou focused on the case of a family named Chang in the 24th year of Jianhe's reign.

It was because of this case that she and Hu Changqing went to see Zhao He, the old government official.

“This case occurred in the winter of the 24th year of Jianhe’s reign, but the Baijia Village outside the city was not demolished until the beginning of the 25th year of Jianhe’s reign. Before that, he had successfully committed two murders outside the city. Why do you dare to enter the capital to commit murder?"

Wu Xiang frowned when he heard this, "I didn't ask about this, but he also bought a house in the city at that time——"

Bao Ruoyou looked back again and quickly said in a cold voice: "Is his house near the Chang family?"

"Yes." Wu Xiang nodded, "It was also because of this that he took a fancy to the young master of the Chang family, and later he killed him."

However, this also means that there is no trace of this house now. The entire Pingningfang where the Chang family lived was demolished, and the place where the crime occurred cannot be found. Bo Ruoyou frowned and said: "If he buys a house, he will probably have official documents. Can these be found?"

Wu Xiang shook his head, "It's not known to the public. The houses in that area are all old houses. He bought a remote place. Because the price was good, the original owner was very happy and gave the house to him. ."

Bo Ruoyou found it strange, but the doubts here were not confirmed. She looked back again and found that the three subsequent cases, including Wen Jin's, were all outside the city. "Jianhe 26 The case in 2008 and the case in 1999 are quite clear."

"Yes, these two cases occurred after Pingningfang was demolished, and were committed in his house on the bank of the Luohe River. The house was later pawned by him to others. We went to investigate, and it was indeed true. It’s just that it’s been a long time, and no traces of the crime can be found, and the new head of the household doesn’t know that anyone has died in that house.”

This is normal. Bao Ruoyou stared at the testimony, but she always felt that she had missed something. However, for a while, she could not remember what she had missed.

"In several other cases, he never mentioned the Sanqing Bell, but Mr. Ming said that he also heard a sound similar to a bell in his daze at that time——"

Bao Ruoyou didn't want to let this go easily. Wu Xiang hesitated for a moment and said: "When Li Shen answered, he was very calm from beginning to end. When asked about certain details, he would bluntly say that he could not remember clearly, but when it comes He could remember the approximate family backgrounds of these victims, and he could point out where the children were abducted, where the crimes were committed, where the bodies were dumped, and how the scene was handled, all of which were similar to those of the past. The circumstances are basically the same, and the Yamen mainly relied on these to identify him as the murderer."

There are no living witnesses to the other cases, except for her and Ming Guilan. Judging from the confession, there is no doubt that Li Shen is the murderer, but thinking of the situation in the dream, Bo Ruoyou cannot easily convince himself.

Wu Xiang saw her serious face and continued to ask: "What do you think? There is no way Li Shen is not the murderer."

Bo Ruoyou said: "That's not what I meant, but I was thinking about Li Shen's incomplete testimony and whether there might be other accomplices..."

Wu Xiang sighed, "My lord and I have also thought about this question, but after repeated interrogations, Li Shen said that he was the only one on his own, and he did not dare to let others know about such a cruel method. Because of this, the time interval between his crimes was Huge."

Bo Ruoyou's thoughts were confused and he hesitated for a moment. Huo Weilou suddenly asked: "The owner of Feiyun Temple said that he spent two years in secular life. Where and what did others do during this period?"

"He returned to Feiyun Temple in the 14th year of Jianhe's reign and returned to Feiyun Temple in the 16th year of Jianhe's reign. In the meantime, he went to Luozhou and lived on the money he accumulated in Feiyun Temple. In the meantime, he wanted to make a living by telling people's fortunes. , but first of all, he was unfamiliar with the place, and secondly, without the reputation of Feiyun Temple, no one invited him in Luozhou. He could not survive in two years, and he had to go back to Feiyun Temple to seek help. Master."

Huo Weilou asked again: "Have you ever sent someone to Luozhou to investigate?"

Wu Xiang looked hesitant and said, "I haven't sent anyone there. Firstly, what happened in the past two years has nothing to do with the case. Secondly, it was a long way to Luozhou. It happened more than ten years ago. A little unknown Taoist priest." Most likely nothing will be found."

Huo Weilou pondered for a moment without saying anything, and Bo Ruoyou was also a little confused. She carefully read the evidence of several cases again, and took her leave after remembering them all.

On the way back, Huo Weilou said: "If you are worried, I will send someone to Luozhou. Although Li Shen was a bit cunning before he got sick, he was still a normal Taoist priest. But after he came back, he changed. , not every person with a terminal illness will believe in these evil ways, and harming so many children in a row is not something that people with ordinary minds can do."

Bao Ruoyou thought for a while but shook his head, "Luozhou is a long way away. It would be too troublesome to send someone there, and the Marquis is busy with errands now."

Huo Weilou hugged her and said, "Sending the servants of the Hou Mansion will not hinder anything. This matter is a knot in your heart. If you don't untie it, it will be difficult for you to let go of it."

She couldn't help but feel gratitude in her eyes, "Master Hou, if my illness gets worse and worse, what will Master Hou do?"

Her illness is extremely weird. Although it only happens now and then, no one can predict what will happen in the next few decades. Huo Weilou stroked the top of her hair and said, "It doesn't matter if it gets worse. There is a path." Sir is here. He cured you well in the past, and he will be able to cure you again in the future. If it doesn't work, I will ask you for medical treatment, or I will take you back to Qingzhou."

Bao Ruoyou's throat is slightly sore, and it's not for anything else, but because Huo Weilou has watched his parents' tragedy since he was a child, and because of his mother's illness, he received little love and care. If the wife he married now also suffered from madness, how painful would he be?

It was even more difficult for him to return to Qingzhou. Once he became the leader of the imperial court, the emperor would not be able to let him leave the capital unless he gave up his power and just became idle. Prince.

Bo Ruoyou felt a dull pain in his heart, and couldn't help but fall into Huo Weilou's arms, "It would be nice if I could remember what happened back then -"

Huo Weilou's hand fell silently on her back and caressed her, his eyes full of darkness. At this moment, a hint of sweet fragrance floated into the carriage along the cold wind. Huo Weilou's heart moved and he ordered the carriage to stop. Down.

Bo Ruoyou was a little suspicious, "What's wrong?"

The carriage was approaching the busy city. There were not many vendors selling in the ice and snow. Huo Weilou opened the curtain and took a look outside. He saw a steaming candy shop not far away. He said, "Wait a minute." ."

After Huo Wei got off the carriage downstairs, Bo Ruoyou curiously opened the curtain to take a look. He walked to the candy shop and said something, and soon the boss wrapped something in paper for him. He dropped a piece of silver and turned back to the carriage.

As soon as Huo Weilou got on the carriage, Bo Ruoyou also smelled the sweet smell, "What did you buy?"

Huo Weilou sat down and unfolded the paper bag. Bo Ruoyou saw a ball of silver dragon's beard cake at a glance. She couldn't help being slightly stunned. Huo Weilou said: "I asked your second uncle to come to the house to ask about it the day before yesterday. They said you When you were sick, you kept crying, and only Dragon Beard Cake could soothe you. Now I’m going to buy some Dragon Beard Cake and keep it. If you get sick again, I can use it to comfort you. Do you want to try it?"

Bao Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, raised her hand to twist a wisp and put it into her mouth. The rich sweetness was a bit harsh. Bao Ruoyou didn't like it, but the taste made several fragmentary pictures flash in her mind. Flash past.

Dragon beard cake is a snack unique to Beijing. She has not eaten it for more than ten years. She couldn't help but twist another strand. After a moment, she said: "I didn't like this when I was a child..."

After a pause, she said in a daze: "I remember my younger brother likes to eat this."

Huo Weilou said: "Yes, your second aunt said that this was your brother's favorite snack, but for some reason, you were seriously ill at the time, and this was the only thing that could comfort you."

A flash of lightning flashed in Bao Ruoyou's mind, but it disappeared before she could catch it. Her forehead suddenly jumped, "How could it be so weird? I even changed my taste when I was sick?"

Huo Weilou comforted him: "Maybe you care about him too much, and that's why you have his hobby."

Bo Ruoyou felt that the sweetness in her mouth was so sweet that it felt bitter. She wrapped the paper again, "Maybe it's not that simple." She didn't know what she thought of, turned to look at Huo Weilou and said, "I want to see my second uncle and the others again. ”
