Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 201
When Hou Yongkang went to Dali Temple, he was accompanied by Yueweicheng. He was afraid that the people in Dali Temple would not know him, so he was not allowed to go in.

And now he hasn't even seen what the corpse looks like.

Maybe it was because the corpse was really weird. People from Dali Temple covered the corpses with a white cloth and placed them neatly in a row in the prison. Because Su Deming's corpse was discovered first, they put it at the front.

At the same time, his corpse is also the smelliest.

Dali Siqing is not here at the moment, so Yuewei City took him for a walk first.

In fact, there is nothing to visit in Dali Temple. To put it bluntly, it is a place for interrogation and torture, but it is a little more ruthless than the Ministry of Punishment, so it seems that those corpses are still there.

The only thing Suzaku Terrace did for them was get rid of the smell of corpses.

Although it can still smell a little bit now, it is already very good, especially compared to before, it is simply much better.

Daoist Zhanning came to Dali Temple in person, of course it was for the sake of the minister of Dali Temple.

After all, these corpses are really stinky, one is already like this, and if more than a dozen corpses are put together, it is estimated that the entire Dali Temple will stink to death in the end.

It's just that when Daoist Zhanning left, he said four words meaningfully, and the body couldn't see the water.

This is Dali Temple. I don't know how many people have died. Although all this is weird, they didn't think about the supernatural, and it is impossible to take Daoist Zhanning's words to heart.

But there are also those careful jailers. After all, they have never seen such a corpse, so they still take care of it carefully.

When Hou Yongkang came, there was only a faint smell, but Yuewei City and all the jailers were used to it.

Seeing him holding his nose in distaste, Yue Weicheng showed an expected look.

"Master Hou, the names and family backgrounds of these corpses are pasted on the backs of their feet. As for the specific files, they are all at Lord Lu's side. When Lord Lu comes back, I will take you there to read them."

Master Lu, Lu Zhenghong is the Minister of Dali Temple.

Hou Yongkang nodded, this was the first time he had seen such a corpse.

"But poisoned?"

Yuewei City shook his head: "Six or seven operators have been replaced, and they all said that they died normally, without any external injuries, toxins, or internal injuries."

Hou Yong was amazed: "Then where have they been together?"

Yue Weicheng said: "They all have one thing in common, that is, they have some family property. On weekdays, they like to visit brothels, or go to gambling houses to gamble, or go to teahouses for drinks and so on."

Hou Yongkang said: "List all the places they often go to, and start from these places."

It doesn't need to be said by him, Yuewei City naturally knows what to do. It has turned all these places upside down early in the morning, but there is no useful information to be found.

"At first, in order not to disturb the people, the officials sent people to investigate secretly. Then when things happened suddenly, Lord Lu sent people to seal off all the places they frequented. Now more than [-] places in the capital have been locked up. gone."

As a result, not only was the murderer not found, but the people were too afraid to go out.

Hou Yongkang knew that this matter was not that simple: "These people are middle-aged men..."

Yue Weicheng said: "No, these two corpses are only 19 years old, and they are the youngest and most vigorous. This is the son of a minister in the court, and he is 31 years old. The family is very poor..."

From this point of view, the murderer didn't have a specific characteristic in killing people. Perhaps the only characteristic that could be noticed was the abnormality before death, and...they were all men.

Hou Yongkang said: "Could it be that the murderer intentionally confuses the public, in order to distract us, so he killed so many different people?"

In fact, they have already thought about his thoughts. They are all old foxes who have been up and down in the officialdom for so many years. What haven't they seen?
At first, Yuewei City thought that Hou Yongkang might really have some ability and wanted His Majesty to personally issue an order, but now it seems that is actually the case.

But he also knew that if he really broke the case by mistake, he would not be offended.

So he didn't show any disrespect: "Lord Hou's thoughts have been discussed with Lord Lu, but so far we still can't figure out what the murderer's motive is."

Hou Yongkang pondered for a while: "If a man kills, it is generally for revenge and hatred. Such a wide range of killings should be due to these two reasons."

Yueweicheng stood aside, pretending to listen seriously, but in fact, these were useless nonsense to him.

If it wasn't because he was a sixth-rank official and Hou Yongkang was a fifth-rank official, he wouldn't be so servile to him.

And Mr. Lu, he is actually in Dali Temple, he just doesn't want to see this fledgling kid.

It is estimated that Lu Zhenghong also understood the thoughts of His Highness the Regent, so he deliberately did not come out.

Alas, there is only myself, and in the end I still have to run errands.

Hou Yongkang was still immersed in his own reasoning: "If a woman kills...then there are more motives. I have often seen before that some women deliberately killed those who she felt were heartless to vent their anger because they were hurt by men."

In fact, this reason is very absurd. After all, it is easy for a woman to kill one or two people, but such identities are uneven, and it is difficult to get in touch with them on weekdays. How easy is it to kill them?
However, any possibility cannot be ruled out.

Because every "possible" has the potential to be the truth.

Yuewei City naturally thought about this problem, but when he sent people to investigate these things, the clues were cut off one by one.

In other words, the problems he listed are basically untenable.

But he still said: "My lord's words are also reasonable, I will send someone to investigate."

Hou Yongkang was still very satisfied with his attitude: "In this case, I will wait for the good news."

Yueweicheng sneered in his heart, did he really go to investigate, how did he know?
"It's just my lord, it will take time to investigate the matter, you might as well give some more clues..."

Before Yueweicheng finished speaking, a strange fragrance wafted over, and Hou Yongkang's nose was itchy, so he sneezed.

The saliva fell directly on Su Deming who was the closest to the crowd, and the white cloth on his face was still lifted.

The jailer's heart skipped a beat.

Hou Yongkang didn't feel any difference: "Then let's go out and talk, this place is smelly and dirty, it's really hard to stay."

Yuewei City didn't want to stay here either, and quickly echoed: "Your Excellency is right."

So the two went out, and the jailer hurriedly covered Su Deming with a white cloth and left.

When everything was quiet, under the white cloth, Su Deming's rotten fingers moved.
