Wu Qingruo's words successfully aroused the curiosity of several children. They all turned their attention to Prince Dai. Even His Highness Prince Ning, who was not very interested in this matter, also went to Prince Dai's side. Come on.
The acting prince looked at Wu Qingruo, then at the people around him, then raised his head and looked at Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan, thought for a while, and nodded slightly.
"When this case happened, Brother Huang, Old Shen, and Old Xue were just starting to work on errands, and they were still ignorant. As a result, they ran into such a big case." Prince Dai sighed deeply, "One day A rare serial murder case. A total of eight people died in this case. They were all girls between the ages of thirteen and fifteen. The only thing they have in common is..."
"They are dancers from several famous brothels in Xijing. They are not well-known. Most of them are just kids who have just come out. They are performing arts but not selling themselves. Another thing is that several of the girls are not from the same brothel. They don't know each other and they don't even know each other. I’ve never met them, and I don’t have any contact with them.”
"That's right." Prince Dai looked at Shen Cha with surprise, "You actually know about this case. We thought you kids didn't know about this old sesame seed and rotten millet thing!"
"She is very interested in this kind of very special case. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, she has seen all the major and special cases." Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha who was a little embarrassed, "The late emperor once said , the border has been peaceful since then, Xiaocha has returned to Xijing in his spare time, and can take up a sinecure position in Dali Temple to be responsible for this kind of case."
"That's right, my father also specifically told me that if unfortunately I encounter a similar case, don't be afraid of trouble and ask Xiaocha. She won't be like the stubborn old men in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and she will definitely give me some advice. Very novel ideas and ideas." Song Jue nodded, "Xiao Cha is very talented in this."
"Very good." Prince Dai nodded, "Since we are very familiar with it, let me add to it as far as Xiaocha is concerned."
"Okay!" Shen Cha didn't refuse, "I don't know much. They are all recorded in the case files. Uncle Wang still needs to explain the detailed process. There are five prisoners in this case, all of whom are rich. On weekdays, They were idle and always wandered around the flower streets and willow alleys. The first and second deceased were the dancers of Jianghua Tower in Xijing City. They were both fourteen years old. On the night of the incident, they were called by these five rich young masters to join in the fun and dance. After three dances, they drank wine. The two girls had just come out a few days ago and had never seen this situation before. They drank a few drinks in the first two rounds. Unexpectedly, the young masters got interested and changed from small drinks to small drinks. I wanted to fill them with a big bowl, but they pushed it several times, which completely angered the young masters."
"Then he was killed?"
"Later, according to their confession, they actually made a mistake and had no intention of killing anyone."
"Missed?" Song Jue frowned slightly, "Did you want to scare them, but you didn't control it well? You accidentally..."
"That's pretty much what it means. Those young masters drank a little too much and were not very clear-headed. They were used to being powerful and had never experienced this in a brothel, so they were upset. In order to make the two girls listen to them honestly If so, he stretched out his hand and strangled the girl's neck. The two girls were particularly frightened and struggled fiercely. The harder they struggled, the harder they fought. Unexpectedly, one of them didn't hold back and strangled the girl to death." Shen Cha took a sip of tea. Then he continued, "At that time, these five young masters found that the two girls were out of breath. They were frightened to death and did not recover for a long time. Although these young masters were arrogant, they usually treated the boys and girls around them very badly. They were beaten or scolded, but there was really no life on their hands. This was the first time in their lives. They couldn't react at once and didn't know what to do."
"What happened next?" Bai Meng asked curiously, "Did they run away?"
"Aren't you just asking for trouble if you run away?" Shen Cha shook his head gently, "These five young masters can be considered to have seen the world and have a little sense. After a few people put it together, because these two girls were wearing the same clothes that day. The collar of the clothes was relatively high, and when they strangled the girl’s neck, their hands did not touch the skin of the girl’s neck and did not leave any fingerprints, so they thought of a way.”
"What method?"
"They ordered a total of five jars of wine, drank two jars, and three jars. They took one jar and poured it into two girls respectively, then moved the two girls to the couch, and then poured half a jar of wine over them. "Chen Cha sighed heavily, "The last pot and a half was poured on the five of them. They pretended to be drunk and helped each other out of the box. Before leaving the brothel, they met the old bustard, who looked at them. Being so drunk, I could have imagined that the two inexperienced girls would be more serious, so I let them go without thinking too much."
"Didn't you go up and see how those two girls were doing?"
"The old madam said that she originally wanted to go, but then something happened somewhere else. She rushed over to deal with it and forgot about it. By the time she remembered it, it was already noon the next day. ”
"The person was found dead at noon the next day?"
"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "Although someone died, he did not go to Jingzhao Mansion to report it to the official. Instead, he dealt with it privately. He rolled up the two girls in a torn mat and threw them into the backyard. They dug a hole for them. Buried."
"It seems that a lot of people died in that brothel!" Bai Meng sneered, "You can do this kind of work so fluently."
"Later, people from Jingzhao Mansion went digging. In addition to these two girls, there were seven or eight skeletons in the backyard. After identification, they were all young girls. The longest one was dead for three years, and the shortest one was dead for more than a month. .”
"He has committed many crimes, and this old bustard is not a good guy either!"
"This is all a thing for later. At least for half a month, there was no news of the death of the brothel woman in Xijing City. The five young masters were worried for half a month, and then they found that nothing happened, and then they went out together. They got mixed up. After this time, they became bolder and took direct action against those disobedient and uncooperative dancers. They determined that people from brothels would definitely not report to the police. "
"It's such a big deal. They know that the people in the brothel have lives on their hands, so they won't fall into the trap easily." Bai Meng sighed, "What happened next? How did their affairs come out?"
"The last time they committed a crime was in the dance building under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofang Division. The people from the Jiaofang Division went directly to the palace to meet with the father, and directly asked the father to find the murderer and seek justice for the innocent girl who died. What a coincidence. , when the people from the Jiaofang Division entered the palace, the imperial brother, Old Shen, and Old Xue were all there, so my father handed over the case to them and asked them to solve it within a time limit."
"What does this have to do with Song Yuesuan and Song Junran?" Song Jue frowned slightly, "Are they two involved?"
"That's right." Prince Dai nodded, "When they heard that the emperor brother, Old Shen, and Old Xue had a case, they quickly entered the palace, knelt in front of their father, and said they wanted to go exercise with the emperor brother and see the world. , help or something. My father didn’t want to agree at first, but he couldn’t bear it. After people from those two families took turns going to the palace to beg his father and mother, after a few days of grinding, my father finally agreed.” He shrugged helplessly, “ Who would have thought that this case almost became an unsolved case because of the trouble caused by these two brothers."
