Empress is His Majesty's White Moonlight

Chapter 174 The Empress Can Protect Him For A Time

The next day, it was just dawn.

After the criminal department sorted out the information overnight, Shen Mingjie could preliminarily conclude that this was a serial murder case.

The seventeen children who died suddenly last night were exactly the same as the two in the old man Guo's house before. They were all covered with blood, and only a few broken fingers remained, which looked like they had been bitten by someone.

Doesn't this confirm the rumors in the market that he was eaten by a vixen.

The most unreasonable thing is that there is no trace of invasion in the victim's home, and even the furniture and furnishings have not changed in any way, and the children seem to have been eaten by volleys.

In front of the desk at this time, Shen Mingjie had grown up nearly ten years old overnight, and the bruises under his eyes were enough to show his state of being.

Ying'an is still very lively today, and there has been no major disturbance yet.

Fortunately, the empress woke up last night, otherwise Ying An would have exploded under the mouth of the storyteller early this morning.

The families of the victims have been invited into the backyard by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the trial did not find out why.

Their answers were almost the same, that is, they heard the miserable cry of a child when they were sleeping, and they had been eaten when they ran over, and the doors and windows were fine.

Shen Mingjie scratched his hair wearily, but couldn't think of anything wrong.

If it is said that these few companies are in collusion, it is impossible, some of them have never even met.

Moreover, the interrogation is conducted separately, and there is no possibility of communicating in advance.

The emperor can no longer tolerate himself, so what should I do!

If they can't give an explanation to the victimized families today, when they go back, there will be trouble in Ying'an again.

Angrily, Shen Mingjie directly swept the information collected on the table on the ground. He held his head, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. His head was in a mess, and he couldn't calm down and think about it.

The queen can protect him for a while, but if she can't find out anything, the consequences will be obvious.

Now that the knife rested on his neck, he could only grit his teeth and continue to stay up late investigating the case.

Never go to Dali Temple for help, this is the dignity of the entire Ministry of Punishment, and he will never go to Wei Shaoqing unless it is absolutely necessary! !

The tricky thing about this case is that the motive for committing the crime is unknown. Except for bloodstains, there is no evidence left at the scene. Even the children's fingers seem to have been bitten.

I also found an expert to identify these fingers, and there was indeed no sign of poisoning, and they were left over from being bitten.

Who can gnaw a child's fingertips and eat it up in such a short time, except for a vixen? !
Now all kinds of public opinions are pointing at the vixen, what should he do.

"Come here!!" Shen Mingjie yelled.

With a creak, the guard rushed in and said respectfully, "My lord!"

"Prepare the sedan chair for me, I want to take a walk around the south of the city myself."

"Yes!"

Stepping into the south of Ying'an City, there are sparkling cars and horses here, and the flow of people is like weaving. Not far away, the penetrating shouts of traders can be heard faintly.

Shen Mingjie was dressed in civilian clothes and walked slowly on the street with a few police officers in charge of the case, and soon arrived at the Willow Lane where the old man Guo lived.

"Buns—the hot buns just out of the oven—" on the corner of the street, a steamed bun vendor yelled cheerfully. The high cage was steaming and filled with white mist.

"Hey, guests," the hawker greeted Shen Mingjie and a few police officers, and shouted enthusiastically, "Would you like to try my steamed stuffed bun? It's just out of the oven!"
