Yunzhou ran over, pointed to the jujube tree in the courtyard, and said, "Eat jujubes, eat...jujubes." If not, take jujube pills. Why are you taking that? I bought you red bean cakes. Eat them.
I can't come back empty-handed. The last time he asked me to come back empty-handed, I felt disappointed.
But he didn't say anything and never showed negative emotions to me. This is too difficult for a fool. Guards Jia and Xin looked at him. He would hit them when he was unhappy. Although he didn't use martial arts, his fists were not small. It still hurts to hit someone.
Guard Jia said that Yunzhou was afraid that I would throw him away, so he did not dare to lose his temper with me.
His brain has not recovered. I am paying attention to his condition every day. His caution is not driven by reason, but driven by instinct and intuition.
The eldest son is so tall that he looks like a pitiful little kid just for some snacks. Now that I have enough money for farming, the cost of food and drink is nothing, so I will feed him as much as possible.
Although he ate non-stop every day, he didn't eat anything expensive, such as roasted chestnuts, candied haws, peanuts, melon seeds and eight-treasure porridge.
The most expensive ones are the braised ones, but to be honest, prices in this world are really not high.
Converted to prices in my original world, all the food was too affordable.
Especially snacks, dried tofu, edamame, salted peanuts, including snack nuts, they are all cheap.
Yunzhou's eyes instantly lit up when he saw the snacks in my hand.
Guard Jia took it and opened the paper package for him. Guard Xin smiled and came over and asked: "Madam, what did you gain today? Is it a success?"
"That's not true, it's just a little gain." I touched the bamboo tube hanging on my waist and asked him to take good care of Yun Zhou. I had something to do to find Alliance Leader Lu.
Nowadays, I don’t need to make a reservation in advance for which courtyard I want to enter in the Lu family. When the servants and maids see which courtyard I enter, they will run into the house and tell the master.
When I arrived at the gate of Alliance Leader Lu's small courtyard, the guard guarding the gate ran in and informed me.
Leader Lu looks great and is basically in good health.
He had piled up a lot of things while he was poisoned, and he had been busy preparing for a wedding in the past two days. He started to take care of these things when he was sick, and the Lu family did not dare to withdraw his daily supplements.
Seeing me coming, Chairman Lu Meng put down the pen in his hand. His desk was filled with all kinds of books, papers and 'documents' that needed his approval.
"Leader Lu." I entered the room and said hello.
"Doctor An." Alliance leader Lu insisted on calling me that, and refused to call me by my name.
"There is something that may be related to the recent serial murders. Leader Lu is well-informed. I would like to ask you to take a look." I took off the bamboo tube around my waist. I had killed the sleepy bug inside and no longer had any interest in people. threaten.
"This is……"
"This was taken out of a young man's body. He was poisoned and fell asleep all day long. This bug has the ability to make people sleep for a long time. I want you to see what it is and where it comes from. Who can keep it?"
Leader Lu stood up and walked around the desk to my side.
"Don't worry, it's dead and won't harm anyone again." I poured the insects out of the bamboo tube and poured them on a piece of white paper on the desk.
The bug is as big as a peanut and has black patterns on its body.
Leader Lu looked closely, thought carefully for a while, and said that he had never seen it with his own eyes, but when he was young, he had heard of a kind of insect.
In other words, he has heard of a person who loves to raise insects. Unlike the Golden Gu Society, this person's insect farming is not a voodoo, but is like an insect collector.
This man has a collection of all the strange insects in the world.
In his collection, there are insects that can make people laugh, cry, sleep forever, and wander around in dreams.
This person's collection of bugs was noticed by some people in the world. After testing, it was confirmed that it was real and effective, so they wanted to buy bugs that were useful to them from this person.
This man disagreed. Perhaps he guessed that these people had evil intentions and wanted to harm others by buying the bugs, so he was determined not to sell his collection.
As a result, he was killed. These people were indeed not kind people. They killed his entire family of more than thirty people and took away all the insects.
"This incident caused a sensation in the entire martial arts world at that time. Lin Yanbin, the leader of the martial arts alliance at that time, sent people to thoroughly investigate the murderer of the family murder case. Unfortunately, after more than two years of tracing, nothing was found, and in the end, it had to be shelved."
"Since then, there have been no incidents of strange insects harming people?"
"No."
It doesn't make sense that he killed more than thirty people in his family and then didn't use the insects he snatched to harm them afterwards.
Killing people and robbing insects happened decades ago. The continuous incidents of killing people with strange insects only appeared today. This can only mean that this group of people acted cautiously and used insects to harm people. They just never exposed it.
Either they were dissatisfied with the bugs of the past, and spent many years cultivating them based on the collection bugs. Now, the bugs that can kill people invisibly are no longer the 'entertainment bugs' that were only for viewing and talking about back then.
"Okay, just go ahead and do your business, I won't bother you."
"If Doctor An wants to investigate this case, the Lu family and the Wulin Alliance will give them their full assistance. If you need any help, just ask."
"I will, take my leave."
Although I received money from Bai Mudan, if such a vicious murder occurred during the martial arts competition, it would be a terrible thing for the entire martial arts alliance and the Lu family.
As long as someone can catch the murderer and stop people from dying for no reason in the city, the Wulin Alliance and the Lu family will support him.
Of course, there are too many people chasing the murderer for the bounty, and the Lu family cannot give preferential treatment to everyone. Just like the yamen can provide autopsy records, but they still have to queue up to borrow them.
Once the Wulin Alliance's reward order is issued, it is equivalent to installing countless humanoid surveillance cameras in Yuancheng.
Every night, rooftops, street corners, and any place where people can hide are crowded with people.
Just wait for the murderer to come out and kill people. This trick worked very well. For two days in a row, the city was peaceful and no new victims appeared.
But according to the clues I got from my investigation, the murderer didn't need to sneak into their room at night to kill.
As long as there was contact during the day, no matter how many people were squatting at night, the murderer would not be seen.
Guard Xin was particularly curious about whether I had found any clues. He cleaned up Yunzhou and put him to sleep, then circled around me.
At the beginning of the investigation, I didn't want to say too much. I told him to go to bed quickly and I would explain the process to him when the murderer was caught.
The next morning a little maid came over to tell me that someone was waiting for me at the back door of Lu House.
Azhao and Bai Mudan's master and servant are not people who can keep secrets. It is already known to everyone in the house that they asked me to investigate the case.
The maids, servants, servants, and nursing staff in the house gathered together to discuss my case when they had time, and looked for clues about the progress of solving the case by observing my daily life.
Each of them is like Sherlock Holmes, and their reasoning is succinct.
For example, when I came back yesterday with a bamboo tube, they guessed that it must contain evidence related to the case.
A stranger came to see me today, and they guessed that this person was the witness I found.
They whispered when they got the chance, little did they know that I heard them all.
