"Corpse? Why are there so many corpses here?"
Kang Anping felt very strange and quickly ran two steps and rushed over.
The yamen servant illuminated it with a weak fire, but Kang Anping still found it shocking.
"Let's take it back first and then talk about it!"
Frowning slightly, he gave the order to the county magistrate.
"yes!"
The county magistrate agreed without thinking, and quickly called the government officials to take the body back to the county government office.
"Your Highness, how did you discover this place?"
The county magistrate was puzzled.
"Didn't you tell me that? There are usually a lot of wild animals here, so no one dares to come here! I didn't know it, and ended up here by accident!"
Everyone said as they walked back.
"I see!"
The magistrate nodded clearly.
"It seems that the people who threw these corpses must be locals. Few people will come to this location knowing that they are here, so they dumped them here!"
Kang Anping reasoned.
“I don’t know if it’s a local, but I’ve already burned him to death!”
"Burned?"
Kang Anping and the county magistrate did not expect such a thing to happen, and were immediately stunned.
"That's right! They have admitted that they killed these women, and they also did many crazy things, so I will kill them!"
Ying Feiyu said calmly.
"Oh! My Crown Prince, if we interrogate them strictly, we might be able to find out a lot of things from their mouths! Why did you just kill them like this?"
Upon hearing this, Kang Anping stamped his feet angrily.
If I had known this, I might as well have stayed with this kid!
"Those people should be a group of bandits. What they usually do is rob houses. When they see beautiful girls, they will kidnap them and give them to a man named Kuan Ye. He will then find the sellers. If they are disobedient, they will be rewarded. Or kill him directly!"
Ying Feiyu told all the clues he already knew in one breath.
"It turns out that His Royal Highness has already been interrogated!"
The magistrate was all smiles.
"If we don't kill him, we might still be able to find out who the man named Master Kuan is!"
Kang Anping muttered in a low voice, with a hint of blame in his tone.
"Master Kuan's identity is mysterious. Even they don't know who this Master Kuan is, but what is certain is that he has some status in the city!"
Ying Feiyu deduced this based on the conversations between several people in the cave.
If he guessed correctly, that Mr. Kuan should specialize in abducting and trafficking girls!
"Okay, luckily His Highness the Crown Prince didn't just kill me without asking anything! When we get back, we can quickly find the family members who reported the missing persons to see if these girls are from their family!"
Kang Anping issued the order.
"His Royal Highness, now that we have a clue to the case, I will not return to Xianyang tomorrow. Please help Your Highness to take a leave of absence!"
Kang Anping and Ying Feiyu walked side by side.
I originally planned to come back to sort out the case, but I didn't expect to find clues. Then Kang Anping definitely couldn't leave so quickly!
In a small county town, the sudden discovery of so many female corpses was considered a major case. He had to stay and get to the bottom of the matter so that the common people could be outraged!
"My prince has no intention of going back!"
Ying Feiyu said as he walked out of the woods with his calves.
"You won't go back either? How can that be okay?"
Upon hearing this, Kang Anping immediately stopped and looked anxious.
When we came out, we clearly agreed to go back before the morning session the next day!
Now that something has happened to him, why doesn't this kid go back?
"Why not? There is nothing important in the court now! I will send a telegram to my father later to inform him of the situation here!"
Ying Feiyu was determined not to leave, but Kang Anping really couldn't do anything to him.
After arriving at the county government office, he immediately sent a telegram to the palace!
After a while, people came to the county government office one after another.
They were all people who had reported missing persons before, and had been notified by the county government to identify them!
Some recognized their daughters among the corpses, but most of them were not among them!
After a day, most of the corpses have been claimed, but a few of them have been so long that they are so badly decomposed that they can no longer be identified!
Since midnight last night, the entire Xianyang has been filled with miserable cries!
"Have you found it? Is there a man named Mr. Kuan in Xinyao County?"
While looking for the woman, the county government also sent people to search the household registration, trying to determine who this man named Mr. Kuan was in the shortest possible time, so that no more women would be persecuted by him.
"Kang Shangshu, Xinyao County is not big or small. Now we have found out that there are at least hundreds of people with the character "Kuan" in their names. What should we do?"
The county magistrate held the list and said with a flat mouth.
There are already so many people before they are all checked. If everyone in the county is checked, even two hundred people may not be able to stop them!
"There are so many?"
This was something Kang Anping didn't expect.
"Yeah! There's no way to start with this!"
The county magistrate was helpless.
"You have to do it even if you don't know how to do it! Otherwise, I don't know how many families' daughters will be brutally murdered!"
Kang Anping gave the county magistrate a death order.
"yes!"
The county magistrate responded and quickly ordered people to go door to door according to the list.
"Isn't there a wealthy and honorable man named Mr. Kuan in the city?"
Ying Feiyu asked.
If one or two hundred people were to be checked door to door, it would be the Year of the Monkey!
According to what those in the mountains said, this so-called Master Kuan should be a wealthy and powerful person in Xinyao County. Is there any need for such a check on the household registration?
"A noble and wealthy family? Master Kuan...?"
The county magistrate frowned and tried to recall it in his mind. At the same time, he called on the county officials to think about it together.
Everyone racked their brains and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with any results.
"Your Highness, our Xinyao County has a large population, but most of the rich people have gone to Xianyang City to develop, and there are really not many rich people left. The one named Mr. Kuan... I really can't remember him! "
After a long while, the county magistrate frowned and said helplessly.
"waste……!"
After rolling his eyes, Kang Anping turned his attention to the other government officials, "What about you? Have you ever remembered anyone named Master Kuan in the city?"
"Uh... I don't remember!"
"Yes! There seems to be no such person in the city!"
"Yes, we walk around the streets every day, so we shouldn't have any impression at all!"
"There are Master Li, Prince, and Master Zhang in the city, but there is no Master Kuan...!"
The government officials shook their heads and shook their heads one after another.
A few of them would go around the city several times every day to maintain law and order.
They knew all the prominent figures in the county, but the name Mr. Kuan seemed very unfamiliar to them!
"That's strange. Isn't this person from the city?"
Kang Anping and Ying Feiyu were both puzzled.
