In the Shangyuan County Government Office, there are many officials, big and small.
"...We used the portrait of Luo Yu, the bank manager, to go to Wude Bank for identification," Ju Ran reported to the officials. "The bank storekeepers and clerks all confirmed that when they took the tickets from Lujia Bookstore, they took away five
This is the person who gave the ingot!"
"Hmm...ahem..." Li Yan's typhoid fever had not improved yet, and he immediately nodded and said, "From this, it seems that the person who assassinated Yuyangzi and led Xu Tixing and others to Chongtian Temple was also Luo
Refreshed!
"Who is this person...?"
"Reporting to your lord," Ju Ran replied, "Luo Yu should be a pseudonym. We have searched his place of origin and found no information about this person.
"The onlookers only know that he is the leader, but they also live in seclusion and don't know his details.
"I also asked the Xingchuan County Magistrate, but the magistrate only said that he was an acquaintance and had no close relationship with me."
"Tsk tsk..." Li Yan frowned for a moment, then turned to Yuan Xingtai and Shen Xinglian beside him and said, "Two captains, you have also heard that this Luo Yu is an important figure in uncovering the secrets of Chongtian Temple. I am worried about him.
It will be hidden in Shangyuan City, so..."
"Don't worry, sir," Yuan Xingtai hurriedly agreed, "In the end, the general will strengthen inspections at all important roads and make every effort to hunt down this thief!"
"That's very good, we are going back to Wude City," Li Yan first glanced at the submissive Tai Min, and then said to Yuan Xingtai, "But the Chongtian case has a wide impact, and we hope that Captain Yuan will cooperate with it.
"
"Your Majesty's words are serious, and I shall serve myself. Please give me your instructions at any time!"
"Also, too many things have happened in Shangyuan City recently," Li Yan warned uneasily, "Our security work should be stricter to avoid thieves taking advantage of the loopholes!"
"yes!"
"Ji Ying," Li Yan turned to Xu Zun and asked, "Is there any progress in the case of the woman's body in monk's clothes? Time waits for no one, it's already been a day!"
"Sir," Xu Zunshi said politely, "there are some clues about this case. I believe we will find important clues today!"
"Oh?" Li Yan was curious, "Tell me, what did you find out?"
"Sir," Xu Zun looked at everyone first and then said, "We have recently inquired about many old people from the Huguo Temple and got a very important clue.
"I suspect that the case of the corpse of a woman in monk's clothing may be related to the orphans adopted by Huguo Temple back then!"
"ah!!?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the first person to be surprised was Tai Min, who had been silent all this time.
After being surprised, he realized that he had lost his composure, hurriedly shrank his neck, and calmed down again.
"Orphan?" Li Yan was equally curious and asked, "The killer in monk's clothing is an orphan adopted by Huguo Temple?"
"It is very possible," Xu Zun said, "Whether it is the monk's clothing case back then or today's monk's clothing case, the core of the murder may be related to the woman giving birth to a child out of wedlock and giving the child away!"
"Oh?" Li Yan suddenly thought of something, "Giving a baby out of wedlock, so to speak..."
"Sir," Xu Zun clasped his fists quickly, "It concerns the reputation of the victim, so I ask you to keep it confidential!"
Everyone thought for a while before following Xu Zun's rhythm, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Then..." Li Yan asked again, "What about Lian Kong? Is he really the murderer?"
"This is not certain yet," Xu Zun said, "I checked the files and found that the crime scenes and victims of the two Sengyi cases are highly consistent. It cannot be judged that they were not committed by the same person, so... give me some more time!
"I believe that I will be able to solve this puzzle!"
"Okay," Li Yan said happily, "If you can solve this case before we return to Wude City, it will be a great achievement!"
"Yes," Yuan Xingtai agreed from the side, "This is also a good thing for us in Shang Yuancheng!"
Next, Li Yan discussed with everyone the matter of Chongtian Temple.
I don’t know if everyone ignored it intentionally or really forgot about it, but no one mentioned the case of the serial disappearance of the beautiful girl.
Xu Zun guessed that it wasn't that everyone didn't know, they just had their own plans.
Li Yan didn't mention it because he didn't want to create new cases and make himself even more physically and mentally exhausted;
Taimin and Ju Ran didn't mention it, which was reasonable. They had already been blamed for this matter, so if they brought it up deliberately now, wouldn't it be easy to find trouble?
Yuan Xingtai and Shen Xinglian didn't mention it because they didn't know the inside story of the case and thought that the disappearance of the beautiful girl and Chongtian Temple were the same case.
After the discussion was over, Xu Zun went directly to the police room to inquire about the progress.
As a result, before he even stepped into the police room, he heard Zhao Yu's hurried call from behind:
"My lord, my lord, we have made a discovery, we have made an important discovery!"
Xu Zun knew that this was the signal for the acting to begin, so he pretended to be surprised and asked:
"What discovery?"
"Sir, we found an old monk who knew the information and is still in Shangyuan City!" Zhao Yu reported excitedly, "I heard someone said that he knew the most about which children Huguo Temple adopted back then.
"As long as we find him and ask him to make a list, we may be able to find the suspect!"
"Really?" Xu Zun quickly dragged him into the police room and asked, "Where is the monk now? Why don't you go check it out immediately?"
"But... tsk tsk..." Zhao Yu pretended to be embarrassed, "We only know that this old monk became a doctor after returning to secular life, and he seems to have opened a medicine shop, but specifically, we don't know which one!"
"Okay, gather all the people immediately," Xu Zun ordered, "How many drug stores can there be in Shangyuan City? Check them one by one for me. This insider must be found within today!"
"Yes! I'm going to prepare now..."
Zhao Yu showed off to Xu Zun, and then pretended to be panicked and ran in to call someone.
Xu Zunze glared at him fiercely, fearing that this drama star would reveal his flaws...
…
Half an hour later, in a drug store in Xicheng.
There was a sudden heavy snowfall last night, and the door of the drug store was particularly deserted today. If it was not an emergency, no one would come to the store to buy medicine.
However, with the sound of stepping on snow from far to near, the door of the drug store was opened by a fat man wearing a white robe.
This man first observed the environment of the drug store, and then cautiously walked to the counter. At the same time, his bloated fingers were already gripping the dagger at his waist!
"Ahem..."
There was a cough from behind the counter, and a man could be seen sitting inside grinding medicine.
The man in white was about to pull out a dagger and stab him, but when he got closer, he saw that the person grinding medicine inside was actually a young man!
So, he quickly put away the dagger and asked, "Excuse me, is the doctor from our pharmacy here?"
Hearing the question, the young man raised his head!
"ah!!?"
For a moment, the man in white was shocked, because he actually recognized this young man, who was none other than the captain of the Shangyuan garrison—Ran Lin!!!
"How..." The man in white opened his eyes in disbelief, "Why is it you?"
"This sentence," Dan saw Ran Lin's eyes were bloodshot and she glared at the man in white and said, "I should be the one to ask you, right?"
"this……"
In surprise, the man in white revealed his true appearance.
But I saw that he had a thick beard, it was the military flag captain of Shang Yuancheng - Yuan Xingtai!!!
