Murder

Sima Feng was very excited, and immediately ran to find Lin Shaoyi, and asked Lin Shaoyi to take him and Chi Yebai to visit Zhang Fushen.

Several rich young men disappeared one after another, and they were all near Dongcai Market. The rich and noble families in the city had long been panic-stricken.But the door and wall couldn't stop these young gentlemen's desire to have fun, and they still rushed to the fireworks field one by one.

Both Lin Shaoyi and Li Yijin also realized that although this was very disrespectful to Mr. Zhang, it was indeed a good opportunity to catch the murderer when something like this happened.

Sima Feng told Lin Shaoyi what he deduced, and when he finished speaking, Li Yijin had already prepared horses for the three of them.He is still looking after the house in the Shaoyi League, Lin Shaoyi takes Sima Feng and Chi Yebai to visit Zhang Fushen.

Zhang Fushen's house was in chaos, the wife of the main house and the aunts were crying together. They could hear the sound of beating, smashing and crying and cursing from the backyard in the living room. The belt is broken, it must be instigated by my wife.Sima Feng listened attentively, with great interest.

"Is Second Young Master the one who had the accident last night?" Chi Yebai asked Zhang Fushen seriously, tugging at the hem of his clothes.

"I'm laughing." Zhang Fushen was embarrassed and anxious again, "It's the child."

There are not many things to talk about with Zhang Fushen.He knew that the two were well-known partners in the world, and he also knew that the Shaoyi League had specially invited them back to investigate the case, so he naturally had no reluctance.Before he could report this case to the police, the three of them had already approached him, so he followed suit and asked them to investigate.

Sima Feng and Chi Yebai immediately found a few servants who accompanied Mr. Zhang to Dongcai Market yesterday, and ordered them to describe Mr. Zhang's appearance in detail.After Chi Yebai finished the painting, he realized that this person was actually the young man in brocade clothes he saw last night walking into a deep alley with his servants.

Mr. Zhang is supple, upright and graceful in front of him, and he can be called romantic and handsome like the few deceased in front of him.

The servant didn't dare to hide anything, and told everything about what happened last night.

It turned out that Mr. Zhang was a frequent visitor to Chunyanlou, but a few days ago he had some flirtatious grievances because he competed with other sons and brothers for a girl.Yesterday when he arrived at Chunyan Tower, he found that the young master was there, so he walked away with a dark face.When he was about to go to another brothel, he saw someone walking in through the alley next to Chunyan Building, so he immediately remembered the rumors about Dongcai Market.

It is said that there are quite a few beautiful prostitutes in Dongcai Market, their skill is no worse than that of the girls in Chunyan Building, their prices are not only cheap, and they are willing to do anything.Mr. Zhang got excited, thinking that a good-looking and rich person like him is prone to accidents recently, so he asked his servants to follow him closely and went to Dongcai Market.

He followed, but he didn't have the eccentricity of having his servants crowd around him.After finding a den of prostitutes, he ordered a girl and said that he would come outside for a while.The servant retreated to the entrance of the alley knowingly.

"We've all seen that alley, it's dead, there's no way through." The servant whispered, "Only the prostitute's den is in the alley, and the other doors are locked, so you can't get in or out."

It is also because of this that Mr. Zhang is so relieved.

Sima Feng then asked them who the person who had feuded with Mr. Zhang was, where the prostitutes lived, what clothes Mr. Zhang was wearing, etc. After getting the answers one by one, he and Chi Yebai took an eloquent person, and immediately Rush to Dongcai Market.

After Mr. Zhang disappeared, the servants didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't dare to go back to the house to report. Several people immediately searched for him in Dongcai Market.Therefore, it was not until the early hours of this morning that the Zhang family knew that their son was missing.

Because of this, the servant can tell a lot about Dongcai Market.

"Last night was the busy time at the pier, and many people in Dongcai Market went to work at the pier, so late at night, there were more people coming and going on the street than usual." The servant followed Sima Feng closely, and said repeatedly , "They all came back from the pier, and the sound was noisy. We heard the young master's voice at first, but then we couldn't hear it clearly. When we turned around, we found that he was still there, so it was not easy to keep looking at it. As a result, when we turned back, People are gone."

Lin Shaoyi had other important matters in the League and couldn't accompany them. As soon as he left Zhang Fushen's house, he immediately went back to the Shaoyi League, and then called Gan Yue and Song Beiyan to Sima Feng.

The place where the incident happened has been trampled many times, and the blood on the ground is indistinct.Gan Lele squatted on the ground, touched and touched, and sighed.

"Can you see anything?" Sima Feng asked.

"I'm not a god." Gan Yue shook his head, "I can only say that judging by the blood volume, it doesn't look like a minor injury."

Chi Yebai went to the bottom of the alley to have a look.He bent his fingers and tapped on the brick wall, and sure enough, he hit a loose brick.After removing those bricks, a hole appeared on the wall that allowed one person to enter and exit.He passed through the half-collapsed wall, and found that behind him was a winding and cramped alley with complex terrain, making it easy to hide and escape.

"Mr. Zhang came here on a whim, but half of the wall has collapsed. With such a natural opening, if the murderer hides here, it's more like waiting for his prey." Chi Yebai told Sima Feng about the terrain.

"This den of prostitutes is his bait." Sima Feng narrowed his eyes suddenly, "Those who died may all have disappeared here."

The two immediately began knocking on the door.The servant stood aside with a sad face: "No need to knock, there is no one... After the young master disappeared last night, we asked the women there, and they all said that it had nothing to do with them. We still thought that we should send someone to wait for someone to come from the house. In the end, a Without paying attention, they crawled out of the patio and ran away."

These women were suspicious, Chi Yebai wrote it down, and planned to let Ying Beishe's people look for it later.

The two were talking in a low voice, when Gan Lexi suddenly said, "Oh, come here and see what this is."

Sima Feng and Chi Yebai leaned over and found that Gan Le was pointing at a black and red spot on the wall.

"...It's blood." Sima Feng asked, "When did it happen?"

"It should be from last night." Gan said willingly, "Dip in some mist, and some can be wiped off."

The bloodstains on the wall were different from the bloodstains on the ground.There are dots on the ground, caused by dripping, but flakes on the wall, caused by splashing.Sima Feng stood in front of the bloodstain and gestured. The blood spurted out around his chin and neck.

"How tall is your son?" Chi Yebai asked the servant.

"It's about the same height as Patriarch Sima." The servant said.

Sima Feng nodded: "That's right. When the murderer took these people away, he first scratched their throats. We thought that the purpose of scratching their throats was to prevent them from making a sound. From this point of view, this is still a way to make these people cry." It’s a way for the sons and brothers to be frightened and frightened.”

"And they all know that the larynx is the key place, and they don't dare to struggle recklessly after losing blood." Chi Yebai answered his words, "It is convenient for the murderer to take people away."

They are not familiar with the terrain of Dongcai Market. After a brief discussion, Sima Feng and Chi Yebai decided to leave two people to guard here, and the rest will go back first. Chi Yebai will go to the branch of Shifang City to arrange spies to investigate. Where does the escaped prostitute and the dark alley at the bottom of the alley lead.

After coming out of Shifang City, Sima Feng asked him if he wanted to drink tea and listen to stories.

"The Puyun Tea House here in Shifang City is very famous." He said, "and you can hear a lot of information."

"Go." Chi Yebai said, "But before I go, I have to tell you something I just remembered."

Chi Yebai looked at Gan Yue and Song Beiyan who were walking in front of them.Gan Lele was still not good at riding a horse, he was holding on to the reins so tightly that he couldn't even straighten his waist, Song Beiyan was teaching him to hold his head up.

"What?" Sima Feng blinked with interest.

"In the case of the Flower Banquet in the capital city, one of the dead soldiers kept by the prince was very good at locking the throat." Chi Yebai stretched out his hand and gestured, "If his purpose is not to lock the throat, but to hurt the other party's throat, it should be It's easy too, right?"

"Do you really think this case is similar to a flower feast?" Sima Feng frowned, "But the flower feast is mainly for pleasure, and the murderer in this case is venting."

Chi Yebai remained silent.The four of them walked for a while, seeing the Puyun tea house in front, Chi Yebai suddenly pulled Sima Feng's sleeve.

"Have all the people involved in the Huayan case died?"

"They're all dead, there really isn't one left." Sima Feng said in a low voice, "The prince doesn't care who he is or what his status is, as long as he appears in that place and might have hurt his daughter, he will kill them all. "

"No, I'm asking, what about those children who were sold and molested?" Chi Yebai's face was serious, "Are they gone too?"

The skylight was still on, but Mr. Zhang, who was lying on the bed, could not see at all.He was blindfolded, his mouth was gagged, and he was shivering on the bed. The pain in his limbs, the pain inside and outside his body, all the pain terrified him, and he completely lost the strength to resist. .

Panting for breath, Fang Changqing got off the bed.Su Zhan was standing beside the bed holding scissors, the scissors were still stained with Mr. Zhang's blood.

He looked at Su Zhan and thought to himself, he was also turned into a monster by Su Zhan.

Fang Changqing didn't feel any pleasure in torturing a person who couldn't resist him before, but after arresting and killing a few in succession, he gradually understood the joy of Su Zhan.

He didn't even look at Mr. Zhang who was covered in scars, and asked Su Zhan directly: "How to deal with him?"

"Are you going to run?" Su Zhan bent down and asked Mr. Zhang gently.He took out a bunch of rags from his mouth, and Mr. Zhang immediately let out a sobbing voice: "Don't run...I will definitely not run..."

Su Zhan clicked the scissors a few times.Mr. Zhang jumped up as if he had been stung, his legs clamped together, and he cried, "Don't, don't! Don't use this! I, I, and I have four generations, and I want to pass on the family..."

Before he finished speaking, the wound under his body cracked again, and all the remaining words turned into crying.

Su Zhan was a little annoyed, and threw the scissors aside: "This one is not fun, I like crying too much. I like the last one better."

He looked at Fang Changqing with piercing eyes: "Brother Changqing, why don't you find another one?"

Fang Changqing put on his clothes in silence, before he fastened his belt, Su Zhan rushed over and stuck to him: "Brother Changqing, you can do whatever I say, can't you? Grab another one for me."

"Su Zhan, you can't." Fang Changqing hardened his heart, "You are not smart enough, maybe you can't understand, but the more you do this kind of thing, the more dangerous it is, and we will die."

"No. Didn't Mr. Wen teach us?" Su Zhan softened his voice, "We must do what he said, and we must be right."

"Mr. Wen...he is not a good person." Fang Changqing said softly.

Su Zhan's eyes changed instantly.

He jumped away from Fang Changqing's side and kicked the foot of the bed, so frightened that Mr. Zhang, who had just stopped crying and wanted to hear what the two of them had to say, started crying again.

"You are not a good person either!" Su Zhan showed a strange hideous expression, "Neither are you! If you hadn't taken me to the capital, if you hadn't said that the temple fair in the capital was fun, if it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have become This way!"
