The man's words gave Wen Yuan a clue. She ordered her men to let go of the man and asked carefully: "What's going on? What happened after you separated from this woman? Why did you separate?"
Xu Maozhi gritted his teeth in anger when he recalled that incident. He recalled: "Her name was Cui'er. She was originally a concubine in Landlord Yuan's house. I was a long-term worker in Landlord Yuan's house. I fell in love with her when we first met. But because of her status, I have never done anything out of line, let alone expressed my feelings to her."
"Until one day, her Cui'er took the initiative to come to me. She said that the master had too many concubines, that she couldn't get favor, and that she didn't even have anyone close to her to talk to. She felt very lonely in the house, so she wanted to find someone. I talked and we started to have feelings for each other." The man shed a few tears when he talked about the emotional point. Wen Yuan kept observing his every move and believed that what he said was true.
The man wiped the tears on his face and continued: "That day, she told me that she no longer wanted to serve the master, and wanted to leave this place with me and go to the capital. I thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to her, but who knows , after leaving the landlord’s house, escaping from the master’s pursuit, and finally finding a place to stay to recharge her batteries, she actually didn’t want to leave, so I had no choice but to find work in the city again.”
"My life was really unsatisfactory at first, and I knew I couldn't help her, but she met a rich man and followed him while I was out working."
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and finally he just started scolding her, "Grandma, if I knew she was such a bitch, I wouldn't give up such a good job at the landlord's house and bring her out."
"Later I also went to that man's house to look for her. Who knew that the man said she had stolen a lot of money and ran away? He also asked me to pay back the money. If I didn't pay back, he would beat me. Look, one of my good legs was damaged. They gave it a discount.”
Wen Yuan looked at his lame leg. It looked like it had been beaten. Some bruises on it had not disappeared.
"Who is that man?" Wen Yuan asked hurriedly.
"It's the young master of Lin Zhai in the city, his name is Lin Shaowei."
Wen Yuan had heard of the name Lin Shaowei, but she never imagined that this man was actually related to this case. She thought about it and asked, "Do you recognize the female corpse next to it?"
"I don't recognize it, but the shoes she is wearing are made by Qiang Ni people. You can use this as a clue to find her."
"Okay, I understand."
Wen Yuan immediately ordered someone to find Lin Shaowei, "Go and bring this Lin Shaowei."
Not long after, the man was tied up and thrown into the princess's mansion. "What's going on?" Wen Yuan looked at the man at his feet, "Why were you tied back?"
"This man is dishonest. If we let him come, he will not come alive. We have no choice but to do this."
Wen Yuan even saw footprints on the man's face, "What did you guess?" She looked at Falcon with a suppressed smile.
The man frowned, "Who told him to disobey?"
It seems that he did step on it.
Wen Yuan smiled and untied the rope from the man's body, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, we are just asking you to cooperate with the investigation. If you hurry up, you can go home and hold the baby in a while."
Lin Shaowei looked at Wen Yuan angrily, "Don't you think I have something to do with this matter just because you arrested me? I tell you, it doesn't matter! I don't know anything at all."
"You don't know where that woman has gone?"
"Bah! That bitch changes men every three days. How do I know who she ran away with? She stole my money and ran away. I was so kind to her in vain."
Seeing his furious look, Wen Yuan thought that what this person said was true. Now she had a headache, and the clue was broken again.
"But..." the man thought for a while and said: "One night I found her talking to herself in the air, but now that I think about it, that place seems to be a corner, and the person may be hiding behind it..."
"Do you still remember what they said?"
Lin Shaowei buried his head and thought for a while, "She seemed to say something like letting her go...probably because she is really in trouble, so spare her life."
"Do you really have no clues other than that?"
The man thought for a while and shook his head and said honestly: "I really don't know. In fact, I don't have much interaction with her. I just thought she was beautiful and wanted to take her back to my house as a concubine. Who knew she stole it?" My things just turned around and ran away."
He grabbed the hem of Wen Yuan's skirt and said, "Princess Xianyang, just let me go. It's useless for you to keep me here, and it will delay your investigation."
Seeing his mean look, Wen Yuan was not in the mood to ask any more questions, "Okay, let's go."
After releasing the man, the clues were cut off again. She looked at the file with a tired face, "Since there are no clues for this one, let's find another one."
But the clues about the other female corpse are even harder to find than this one. The woman was not from the Dragon Kingdom, but a foreign nomad. The settlements of such nomads are usually very secretive and difficult to find.
She had to go to Quan, but the answer Quan gave her surprised Wen Yuan, "Ah Yuan, almost every time you have a problem, I will intervene as long as it is related to demons, but this time I didn't even ask, Think about it carefully, why?"
Wen Yuan reacted quickly. She looked at Quan in horror, "Master, you mean that the person who committed the crime this time was not a demon but a human?"
"Yes, and he is a person with extremely strong psychological quality. He may even be able to disguise himself, and his cultivation has reached a certain level."
His words made Wen Yuan wake up from a dream, "I understand, Master... thank you."
In fact, Wen Yuan suspected that such cruel crime methods were related to demons from the beginning, so that he was blinded. Now that he knows the truth, there is no need to dwell on the issue of demons.
But even if it was done by humans, it would be difficult to find out. "Falcon, go and see if you can find a few Qiang Ni people. Find out if there are any Qiang Ni people living nearby recently, and take this female corpse by the way." Ask about clothes and shoes to see if this is the style they can embroider."
Now we just have to wait for news from the government, but considering the speed of Qingfeng City, we might as well forget it. It is more reliable to rely on ourselves.
A few days later, Falcon brought back a couple. As soon as they saw the corpse, they lay on the corpse and cried loudly, mumbling without knowing what they were talking about.
"You two...are you her parents?"
The couple nodded, but since neither of them could speak Mandarin, Wen Yuan could only spend some time inviting someone who could speak Mandarin and Qiang Ni language.
"Princess, the couple said that they settled in Qingfeng City. Their daughter went out with a friend two months ago and never returned home. They only know that her friend's name is Biyu, and they don't know anything else. Yes. They also said that their daughter was extremely well-behaved and had never made enemies with anyone. They didn’t know how she got killed.”
Wen Yuan thought for a while and said to the man in charge of delivering the message: "Ask them if there was anything unusual about their daughter before going out."
The man could only be heard mumbling a lot to the couple, and the mother answered her a lot with red eyes.
"She said that her daughter was mumbling something about not wanting to do it before she went out. They didn't pay attention at first, but they didn't expect that their daughter's death was caused by their own negligence."
Seeing the decadent appearance of the old couple, Wen Yuan couldn't bear to ask any more questions, "Let them rest in the princess mansion for a few days first, and then ask again when they have recovered."
During the days when the two elders lived in the princess's mansion, they were busy competing to do all the work in the mansion. Wen Yuan asked them why they were doing this, but the answer she got was unexpected, "They want to behave better. You can help them." Find the murderer of your child as soon as possible, the only person they can trust now is you, princess."
At least that's what the man in charge of delivering the message told her.
Looking at the simple and honest two elders, Wen Yuan became more determined to avenge the two women.
Two days later, Wen Yuan saw that the couple's emotions had stabilized a lot, so he approached them again to ask for valuable clues, but the old couple knew nothing except the name of her best friend.
Something was better than nothing. Wen Yuan had no intention of giving up and went to find this man.
But the news turned out to be that he had also disappeared.
The direction of things was getting weirder and weirder, which gave Wen Yuan a bad feeling, but she quickly grasped the point, "Why do they say they only believe in me when they are obviously from Qingfeng City?"
The couple looked embarrassed and told Wen Yuan something. The man in charge of delivering the message frowned tightly after hearing this, "They said... County Sheriff Liang is not a good official who thinks about the people. He indulges his son. The villager...his daughter was once taken advantage of by his son..."
There is such a thing... Wen Yuan has never heard of it before. She always thought that life in Qingfeng City was pretty good.
The couple had no intention of stopping, and kept talking to each other, "They suspected that their daughter's death was related to Governor Liang's son, because she met Governor Liang's son the day before she went out... and there seemed to be a quarrel."
Wen Yuan frowned again, "There is still such a thing... OK, I understand. If Governor Liang's son is really suspected, I will not be merciful."
She asked her people to switch from investigation to undercover investigation, and not to alert others, lest those people hear any gossip and restrain their minions.
I don't know if someone is causing trouble. Wen Yuan's people have been investigating for so long and got a lot of clues, but they can't be connected together and they can't form a complete chain of evidence.
One day Wen Yuan found Falcon and said, "Inform the government and close the case. The murderer has not been found for so long and the body stinks. Let's end it like this."
Her behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of the two old Qiang Ni couples. They trusted Wen Yuan so much, but they never expected that she would close the case so easily.
