Chapter 78 Wandering the Streets
next morning.
"Is there such a thing?!" Pei Rongxuan asked in shock while drinking porridge, seeing the expression of "you are so belated", he couldn't help scratching his head, "Why didn't I hear anything?! Did I sleep so dead?"
Qiao Songyu couldn't help laughing and said: "Did you drink alcohol last night, that's why you slept so hard and didn't hear such a big movement?"
"No, but maybe I was too tired yesterday." When Pei Rongxuan said this, he began to babble again, "Hey, you four are all in a carriage, and I rode the whole journey by myself. Of course, I am the most tired.It's only right to die!"
"That's true." Qiao Zeyu said while eating snacks, "And you and Brother Fu are both in the North Courtyard, far away from there, it's normal if you didn't hear it."
"After confirming that it was artificial, what are you going to do?" Pei Rongxuan wiped the porridge stains from his lips and said, "This murderer is also courageous enough to kill people before our noses."
"Well, let's wait for the autopsy first." Pei Rongbai gave Qiao Songyu a custard bunny and said, "Let's see if there are any new clues in yesterday's case. If not, then re-investigate the previous three cases."
Qiao Songyu looked at the milky yellow rabbit, then looked at Pei Rongbai's very natural appearance, then remembered the intimate behavior of the two of them last night, couldn't help but blushed slightly, and silently ate the milky yellow rabbit.
Pei Rongbai saw Qiao Songyu's performance in his eyes, the corner of his lips curled up, and he didn't say anything.
"However, yesterday's case is different from the first three cases." Ming Kong, who was eating vegetarian food, said, "The place where the murderer killed the murderer was the place where the body was found in the first three cases, but the body was moved last night.The poor monk finds this very strange."
"Yes, why did the murderer specially move the corpse here?" Qiao Zeyu was very puzzled, "Sun Teng is a tall man, most people can't move him, so why bother to move the corpse here and there?"
"There is one more thing I can't figure out." Pei Rongbai put down his chopsticks and murmured slowly and methodically, "These four people have nothing to do with each other. Why did the murderer kill them? It was said before that it was the demon fox who committed the crime, so it can be said that the monster was random."Looking for a target, but now it can be determined that it is man-made, so this person must not be looking for a target randomly, there must be some similarities between these people."
"These people are all men!" Pei Rongxuan said excitedly as if he had discovered some terrible truth, "So the murderer must be a woman!"
Everyone: ...
"Why did the woman strangle several grown men, and how did she move Sun Teng's body to the southwest? Use your brain to think about it!" Pei Rongbai said disgustedly.
"Maybe this woman knows martial arts!" Pei Rongxuan still insisted on his opinion, "We have a lot of women who know martial arts in our capital, and they are so strong that they can easily lift a tripod without any problem, right?"
Qiao Zeyu waved his hand: "Probably not, because the old yamen servant and watchman are very old and have no money, so they probably won't have any feud with any woman."
Pei Rongxuan wanted to say something more, but Fu Sheng walked in together with the policeman Chen Fang, and after bowing to everyone, he said:
"Guys, Li Cheng has already done the autopsy. If you want to see the records, please follow me to the yamen."
It happened that several people had already finished their breakfast, so they went to the Yamen together.
When they arrived at the backyard of the yamen, Fu Sheng handed over the autopsy records to Pei Rongbai.
Pei Rongxuan who was on the side said: "Your assistants are so diligent, you do the autopsy early in the morning, has he had breakfast, can he still eat?"
"You can eat it." The crowd heard a familiar voice, and saw Li Cheng walking in, his face was still cold and not warm, and he said without saluting when he saw the crowd, "Other cases are related to the first three cases.There is no difference, only one thing, I found a bit of the murderer's skin under Sun Teng's nails, indicating that he may have scratched some part of the murderer's skin when he was struggling or resisting."
Pei Rongbai quickly glanced at the records, then handed the records to Qiao Zeyu, and said, "I don't see any clues in the autopsy that can help solve the case. This murderer is too cunning."
Qiao Zeyu took it over and looked at it, then nodded and said, "It's almost the same as before."
Fu Sheng handed the dossiers of the first three cases to everyone, and said, "Everyone can also take a look at the first three cases for comparison."
"By the way!" Qiao Zeyu suddenly remembered something, and looked at Pei Rongbai, "Didn't you take half of the murderer's footprints before? Did you find anything?"
Pei Rongbai said: "I found nothing, only half of it, but I can be sure that the other party should be a man, because the shoes are the style worn by ordinary men."
Qiao Songyu wondered, "Since it's not a woman, what kind of grudge does this murderer want to kill these four people?"
"And it's all at night." Li Cheng interrupted suddenly.
"It's not difficult to explain at night. After all, it's easier to do things at night. There are many people in the daytime, and it's not easy to create the illusion of a fox killing people." Qiao Zeyu said, glanced at Qiao Songyu and said, "The timid people will be scared when they hear this."If he is dead, why would he think about catching the murderer, so as not to arouse public outrage."
"Second brother, when you say timid, what do you see me doing?" Qiao Songyu asked unhappily.
Pei Rongbai couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right. Are you brave? You hid behind me last night." Qiao Zeyu raised his eyebrows.
Qiao Songyu cried angrily, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Pei Rongbai mournfully, Pei Rongbai immediately said to Qiao Zeyu seriously:
"Zeyu, don't talk nonsense, Song'er is very courageous, I can testify."
Everyone laughed now.
Qiao Songyu: ...
"You all bully me!"
In order to coax Qiao Songyu, Pei Rongbai pulled Qiao Songyu out of the yamen.
"Let's go for a stroll in the street and ignore them bullies." Pei Rongbai coaxed Qiao Songyu's hand.
"Will it delay your investigation of the case?" Qiao Songyu asked. Although he wanted to go out for a stroll, after all, they came to investigate the case and not to visit the mountains and rivers. He is not the kind of ignorant person.
"We're just going to investigate the case." Pei Rongbai blinked at him, "We probably won't find anything in the yamen. Have you forgotten what your elder brother said last time? Let's go to Baocheng in the city."Take a look at the silver number."
It was only then that Qiao Songyu realized what Pei Rongbai's plan was, and he was wandering around openly, but secretly he wanted to check the account books of Xie's family."Okay, let's go then."
Walking on the busy street, the two turned heads very often, because the two of them are so outstanding—whether it is appearance, temperament or clothing, they are all first-class, not to mention that there are two guards behind them.You can tell if you are rich or expensive.
Although Qiao Songyu was used to it, after all, he was often looked at like this when he was in the capital, but it was the first time he accepted the "attention ceremony" with Pei Rongbai like this, and he was still a little uncomfortable—especially when so many girls watched with a smile on their faces.Seeing him and Pei Rongbai, that appearance is very uncomfortable!!!
