The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 687
On the small island in the early morning, the sun is very soft, the air is very fresh, and the birds let go of their voices and sing happily.But the dawn and the singing of the birds did not bring peace to the island.

In front of the quaint bamboo building, Shangguan Luo and the others quietly looked at Hongfeng who had been trembling all the time. They heard the exclamation and rushed over, but saw Hongfeng in front of them panicked, with blood on his face, using his hands and feet, He climbed out of the gate in a very embarrassing state, and shouted loudly when he saw someone: "Killer, murderer..."

At this time, many people gathered in the yard, all of them rushed to hear the news, they were shocked by the news of the murder, and quietly looked at the panic-stricken Hongfeng.

President Qiu frowned, and said worriedly: "Mr. Hongfeng, who killed someone, and who was killed, the grand meeting will begin immediately, so don't talk nonsense!" He seemed very worried about this. Things will affect the smooth progress of the event.

"Yes...it was Fan Mingbo who killed...he killed the two girls, Baihe and Hanmei." Out of fear, Hong Feng stammered.

"What, Lily and Hanmei are dead, how is this possible? How can they die at this time?" President Qiu immediately yelled, his face became very ugly, and he rushed into the small building desperately.

Shen Jue was stopped in time, looked at Hongfeng and said indifferently: "You said that Fan Mingbo who was with you killed the two girls, Baihe and Hanmei, but what evidence is there, and why didn't you stop him?"

Hearing this, Hongfeng's face was a little flustered, afraid that others would not believe him, she turned her head and raised her hand, pointing to the small building and said: "What I said is true, their bodies are still in the bathroom, if you don't believe me, you can find out if you go in and take a look." , can I joke about this kind of thing?" Human life is at stake!

After listening to his words, Shen Jue secretly gave the subordinate beside him a wink, and the subordinate quietly left the scene after receiving the instruction.

Shen Jue lowered his eyelids slightly, and said in an official voice: "Young Master Hongfeng, even if there is a dead body inside, why do you convince us that you are innocent? This city lord has encountered such a case of thieves calling for a thief like you these years." After a while, you'd better be honest and tell the truth."

Hong Feng's face froze, Shen Jue naturally wouldn't let him go easily, and continued to forcefully ask: "You keep saying that Fan Mingbo killed the man, and you two were together all the time yesterday, depending on how you get along, the relationship It's not ordinary, but I would like to ask you now, where is the other person, and why did you kill Lily and Hanmei, instead of actually attacking them."

"Please, City Lord, learn from me." Hong Feng yelled miserably, as if she had felt a great grievance, tears rolled down her eyes, causing everyone to look at each other involuntarily.

Shen Jue and Lan Ling's faces also darkened, this Mr. Hongfeng is really a treasure.

Hong Feng looked terrified, lying on the ground nervously, and said tremblingly: "My lord, the reason why I have been with Fan Mingbo all this time is actually coerced by her. My book boy ink was taken away by her. Where, if I don't obey her orders, Ink Mo's life will be in danger. As for where she is, I don't know, last night she killed someone and tapped my acupoints, then left and didn't return overnight."

After listening to Hong Feng's explanation, Shen Jue smiled coldly and said, "You said that he coerced you. This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Given how you talked and laughed yesterday, you said we would believe it. Is it? The lord of the city advises you to recruit, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."

"what?"

Hong Feng gave a ghostly cry, and there was a look of being frightened just now, she stared at Shen Jue and said: "My lord, you are a threat, I can sue you." For some reason, he It never came out that Fan Mingbo was a daughter.

Shen Jue smiled disapprovingly, and the fox finally showed its tail, not paying attention to the other party's threat at all, because the subordinate who left had returned, and it seemed that he had returned something useful.

The subordinate glanced at Hongfeng secretly, and said calmly: "My lord, no corpse was found in the room, but there were indeed two puddles of congealed blood in the bathroom. Moreover, the subordinate found this on the pillar in the bathroom. A piece of paper, please take a look at it." Both hands presented a neatly folded piece of paper covered with tree branches.

Lan Ling glanced at the font. The murderer nailed the note to the pillar with a branch. This skill should not be underestimated.

It seemed that the note was more attractive than the disappearance of the corpse. All eyes were focused on the note in the subordinate's hand. That note might reveal the answer to the mystery.

After receiving the note, Shen Jue opened it slowly, glanced at it and immediately said: "President Qiu, please inform everyone, and hurry to the square where the grand event will be held as soon as possible, where the city lord will find the answer." Stepping towards the meeting place, Lan Ling and the others followed closely.

After leaving everyone's sight, Lan Ling quietly said: "Master Shen, what did you say on the note?"

Shen Jue quickened his pace and said, "Fan Mingbo said he wanted to know the answer, so he called everyone to the venue and waited for us there."

Lan Ling, Shangguan Luo, and Gong Le were all puzzled, who exactly was this Fan Mingbo, why did he do this, and what purpose did he have in calling everyone to the venue.

Shen Jue and the others arrived at the meeting place together, and immediately smelled a strong smell of blood. The sharp-eyed subordinate saw the scene on the stage, his face turned pale instantly, and he pointed at the stage speechlessly for a long time.

Looking in the direction he pointed, Shen Jue and Lan Ling's faces also turned pale. Looking at the bloody scene on the stage, they didn't recover for a long time.

About half an hour later, the venue of the grand event was full. The talented scholars who came to participate in the Hundred Flowers Contest this time, but most of them were pale, and some of them covered their mouths and retched.

On the gorgeous carpet of the stage, there is a row of corpses neatly arranged. To be precise, it is a row of headless female corpses, and it cannot be said to be headless, because their heads are placed next to the corpses, with a gorgeous stage. It's unspeakably weird.

Shangguan Luo was inspecting the corpses, Lan Ling followed Shen Jue and stood beside the corpses, his gaze coldly swept over the corpses, and he kept guessing secretly in his mind.

Suddenly a thought popped out of his mind, could Fan Mingbo be the one who was secretly protecting them, but why did he do this, silently reciting the name Fan Mingbo, this name always gave him a strange feeling, Perhaps a clue can be found in the name.

Using the voice she heard, Lan Ling murmured: "One, two, three, four, five... 22, 23, 24."

24, how could it be 24? Lan Ling couldn't help being shocked when he got the result.

Because the number of women who participated in the Hundred Flowers Contest this year did not happen to be the same number. Could it be... Could it be that these women are the ones who participated in the contest?
Is this the other party's plan?Those people use or train these women, use their beauty to seduce talented people attending the event, and kill or control them.

When his eyes glanced over one of the heads inadvertently, his eyes couldn't help but froze, and his face changed slightly. That wasn't the woman who murdered him last night, she was also killed.

Lan Ling lowered his eyes slightly, the eyes were dark, his mood was like a mess, and he said in a calm voice: "Master Shen, these female corpses are those who are going to participate in the Hundred Flowers Selection?"

If it is, his hypothesis can be established.

Shen Jue's complexion was also very pale, and he recovered a little after hearing Lan Ling's words, frowning and said softly: "Yes, it was indeed them, it's unbelievable that all these women were killed, and they all died in the same way , the corpses were gathered together, probably by one person.”

Gong Le also saw the corpse of Narcissus, he didn't feel the slightest sympathy except for the shock, as far as he was concerned, it would be better if he died, but this murderer was really arrogant.

admire!

Shen Jue said with a trace of imperceptible hatred: "I can't understand why the murderer killed these innocent prostitutes. What's wrong with them?"

"Do you think these women are really innocent?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Lan Ling's tone, but it was not aimed at Shen Jue, because he was talking while looking at the corpses.

"Of course, it's a very helpless thing for them to fall into prostitution. Unexpectedly, unexpected disasters come." Shen Jue said regretfully and sympathetically, but he didn't notice that at this moment, Lan Ling's sneering eyes had already fallen on him.

As if sensing Lan Ling's strangeness, Shen Jue was suspicious: "Is there something wrong?"

Lan Ling said as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing, I just feel a little strange, who would have a grudge against these prostitutes and kill them all overnight."

Well!Shen Jue was suddenly stuck, unable to answer Lan Ling's question, what was the reason for wanting to hate these prostitutes.

Shangguan Luo's voice suddenly sounded faintly: "These women were all killed by the same method. As the city lord said, it is estimated that the same murderer did it. Judging from the expressions on the faces of the deceased, most of them were completely unprepared. Killed, even most of them were killed in love, but..."

"What?" Before Shangguan Luo could finish speaking, Shen Jue cried out.

"What's wrong?" Lan Ling looked at him sharply.

Shen Jue realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly put away the surprise on her face, and explained in a disguised manner: "The Hundred Flowers Selection Festival has regulations that all women who participate in the Hundred Flowers Selection must be perfect, otherwise they will be found out. It's just that disqualification is so simple, and even their lives are in danger, how could they, be killed in..." He still couldn't say these words.

Lan Ling keenly noticed the change in Shen Jue's mood, and Shen Jue really had something to hide from them, so he took up his words and said, "City Lord Shen, don't worry, it won't be too late for us to make a conclusion after listening to Shangguan Luo. "He's really problematic.

Shangguan Luo's eyes continued to return to the corpse, and he said calmly: "Although I don't know why the murderer killed them, but when I did the autopsy on the deceased just now, I found that they all have one characteristic in common."

"What characteristics?" Lan Ling asked immediately, and all the people present focused on him.

Shangguan Luo picked up the right hand of one of the deceased, and said without emotion: "The deceased's right palm has calluses in the same position, which is not something that a prostitute should have, and the position of these calluses on the palm , most often appear in the hands of a person."

"That kind of person?" Shen Jue asked anxiously, what should not appear on these women.

"It's a person who uses a sword all the year round. Because of holding the sword in his right hand for many years, some parts of his right hand will be calloused. It's just that the marks of martial arts practitioners appear on these prostitutes. Don't you find it strange? It can be seen that the deceased is not an ordinary prostitute. Simple." Shangguan Luo analyzed lightly.

President Qiu, who had been standing by the side with a sullen face since seeing the corpse at the venue, suddenly said in a calm voice, "You said they are not ordinary prostitutes, so who are they?"

Shangguan Luo turned around, looked at the crowd below the stage, and said two words lightly: "Killer."

These women are all well-trained killers. As for why they dress up as prostitutes, it's probably what Lan Ling imagined.

Hearing his words, the expressions on everyone's faces became extremely exciting in an instant.

Lanling Shuili's eyes looked at the expressions of these people without blinking.

President Qiu's complexion became darker: "According to Mr. Mingyue, these women are all killers, so what is the purpose of them pretending to be prostitutes and sneaking into the Hundred Flowers Selection Festival, and who is the murderer who killed them?"
