Chapter 184

Song Shiyun asked Mr. Lu the questions he had asked his mother and Mu Yun before.

After thinking about it carefully, Mr. Lu still shook his head, "No, Yu'er is timid and shy. She rarely goes out. She is well-behaved at home. She has never had any conflicts or contact with her sisters at home. As for outsiders, almost all she can come into contact with are family members."

"Then did she receive any gifts from outside?" Song Shiyun asked.

Mr. Lu thought for a while, "No, Yu'er is still young, and her father and brother are still at home. Apart from the embroidered handkerchiefs given between the little sisters, if outsiders want to give gifts, they can only be sent directly to me or her mother. After the inspection is correct, it will be sent to the child. It should be fine, right?"

When Song Shiyun heard this, he touched his chin and had no idea for a while.

Then, she asked Zhenren Zhang to take them to the homes of several victims one after another to inquire about the situation.

But the answers given by everyone were similar.

The children at home may be quiet or naughty, but because they are all girls, they are now very restricted. They have few opportunities to go out and interact with outsiders. The days before my death were just like many days in the past, sparse. Normally, there is nothing different or memorable.

After checking all the way, everyone's mouths were dry.

When we came out of the last victim's house, the sky was already dark.

After getting on the carriage, Master Zhang couldn't help but said tiredly: "I ran around, but I didn't seem to find any usable clues, but it made us very tired."

"Fortunately, it's just a pity that there are no clues." Song Shiyun's expression remained the same as usual, but there was no change.

But Chunxiao was weaker. After running for a day, she was even more tired and felt as if her legs were not her own.

After hearing Zhang Zhenren's words, she squeezed her legs quietly.

Song Shiyun recalled that there was nothing wrong with the expressions of those people answering his questions.

What should be said is the truth.

However, if it is an external evil spirit, there is always a reason to target them.

After all, if a wealthy family in the capital throws a big log, it will kill a large number of them, and there are countless women who are about to be married and those who are already married.

Why are you targeting those people?
Song Shiyun really couldn't understand.

She also asked if they had been anywhere before their lifetimes.

But a few people, like Mr. Lu, said that their daughter rarely went out and had never been out for about a month before she was born.

"What do they have in common that makes them targeted?" Song Shiyun touched his chin and muttered to himself.

Chunxiao was close enough to hear clearly. He hesitated and whispered, "Miss, aren't they all beautiful?"

Song Shiyun looked over and said, "They are all beautiful?"

Chunxiao nodded hesitantly, "That's what I guessed, because Haitang is the oiran, so she must be very beautiful. The masters and ladies of the house we went to just now are also very beautiful, so I thought that their daughters should be too. It’s beautiful.”

Song Shiyun paused for a moment, she had already thought about this.

but……

"There are so many beautiful girls in the capital, far more than just a few of them, and they are not the most beautiful among the nobles in the capital." Master Zhang said calmly at this time.

Song Shiyun nodded in agreement.

What Master Zhang said was exactly what she was thinking.

Zhenren Zhang is from the Tiansi Bureau. Every year at the palace's annual banquet, he naturally meets many wealthy families.

Although the women who were victims were beautiful, they were not the most beautiful among the noble family members, nor were they the most noble among the noble family members.

But it's not like the young men who were killed before the Imperial Academy, all of whom came from mediocre families.

This is a bit contradictory.

Song Shiyun always felt that something was missing and he couldn't figure it out.

When Chunxiao heard Zhang Zhenren's words, she scratched her head and said awkwardly: "I, that's what I thought, I'm sorry..."

Song Shiyun waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's good to have ideas."

Master Zhang smiled and nodded, telling Chunxiao not to think too much. What he said was not directed at Chunxiao.

Chunxiao was even more shy, lowered her head and said no more.

Song Shiyun has been thinking deeply, recalling the details of these cases.However, until the carriage stopped at the gate of Pingninghou Mansion, she could not figure out the reason.

Zhang Zhenren sent them off the carriage and looked at Song Shiyun who was still deep in thought. He smiled slightly and said directly: "Second Miss, don't think too much. Our Tiansi Bureau has never been able to find any clues. This case is indeed too difficult to investigate. Sorry, it’s me who’s bothering the second lady.”

Song Shiyun said quietly: "It's no trouble, and I can't help you much."

Zhang Zhenren still looked cheerful, "Second Miss is willing to help us investigate. It's already very troublesome. This case is inherently difficult to investigate. It's normal that we can't find any clues for a while. After all, our Tiansi Bureau has investigated it. After so long, no clues were found.”

Song Shiyun looked at Zhenren Zhang.

Zhang Zhenren must have deliberately dragged her into the game.

But the evil spirit behind this case has committed so many crimes.

Killed so many people.

If there is no way to solve it, it will definitely lead to catastrophe in the long run.

Thinking of this, Song Shiyun did not expose Master Zhang, but said quietly: "As long as Master Zhang does not dislike me, I will continue to investigate this case."

Zhang Zhenren's eyes lit up, he was overjoyed, and he quickly handed over his hand, "As the second lady said, it is a blessing for our Tiansi Bureau that the second lady is willing to help. We have to trouble the second lady a lot, how can we dislike it? It should be me who said, As long as the second lady doesn’t dislike our Tiansi Bureau’s incompetence.”

Song Shiyun smiled lightly: "Zhang Zhenzhen made serious remarks, and I may not be able to help him."

Zhang Zhenren said sincerely: "As long as the second lady is willing to investigate further, it will be a great help to our Tiansi Bureau."

Song Shiyun looked at him carefully and said nothing in the end. She just asked Master Zhang to go back and rest. She then gave Master Zhang a blessing and turned around to leave with Chunxiao.

Zhang Zhenren immediately got into the carriage and left.

After the carriage left, Song Shiyun appeared at the gate of Pingninghou Mansion with Chunxiao.

Looking at the leaving carriage, Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes.

Chunxiao couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking at, young lady?"

Song Shiyun didn't tell Chunxiao his guess, and shook his head slightly, "It's nothing. Let's go back and rest first. We may have to go to the Criminal Department tomorrow."

She planned to go to the Ministry of Justice to look through the old files to see if there was any more detailed information.

Chunxiao didn't know anything about this, so she could only say "oh" obediently, and followed Song Shiyun back to Yaxuan.

Qiu Bai and Shuang Zhong are waiting for Song Shiyun to come back.

When they saw Song Shiyun coming back, they were completely relieved. The two of them rushed forward to greet him, talking in a flurry of words.

Both of them were worried about Song Shiyun.

They also felt that it was not good for Song Shiyun, a girl, to always go out and show off.

Especially today, Song Qingyuan's face turned dark when he heard that Song Shiyun had gone out again.

When Song Shiyun heard Qiu Bai say this, his expression remained as usual, as if he didn't take it to heart at all, and just said "Oh."

Qiu Bai couldn't understand what Song Shiyun was thinking, and couldn't ask any questions, so he said, "Anyway, it would be good if the young lady comes back now. It's still early. Why don't the young lady go to the main courtyard and pay her respects to the Marquis and his wife?"

They have a rule here that the younger generation pays homage to the elders in the morning and dusk.

Song Siwen and Song Shirou often went to greet Yang and Song Qingyuan.

However, Song Shiyun has never been there since he came back.

Qiu Bai felt that Song Shiyun should go there and try his best to have a good relationship with his family and not make Song Qingyuan unhappy.

Song Shiyun refused directly, "No, I'm a little tired. At this time, my parents must be tired too, so they won't go. You can pass on the dinner. I'm hungry."

After finishing speaking, she walked straight towards her house, with no intention of greeting Song Qingyuan and Yang.

Qiu Bai looked at Shuang Zhong helplessly.

Shuang Zhong was open-minded and patted her arm, "Forget it, isn't the lady hungry? Let's go and pass the food first. Don't starve the lady. The rest will be up to the lady."

Qiu Bai was helpless and could only nod.

Chunxiao followed the two of them and went to prepare dinner.
