Tianyuan Fenghuajing

Chapter 241
Mu Yun was persuaded, nodded, and said:
"In addition, I suspect that this person has committed these cases. There must be some kind of connection between the victims. Otherwise, why did they choose them? I heard that the neighbors of those wealthy businessmen are obviously richer, so why did the perpetrators abandon them? Instead of choosing those neighbors, they chose these wealthy businessmen?"

"The people he chooses now are all wealthy businessmen. Is it possible that he just hates the rich?"

Mrs. Huang spoke on the side.

In the first few days when she came to the capital, she really felt a little surprised.But after a long time, she traveled all over the capital, and she was a bit bored.At this time, when she heard several people discussing the case, she couldn't help but intervene.

All three shook their heads.

Following Mu Yun's guess, Ji Ge said:

"Before I also thought that there should be some kind of connection between these people, but their lives are very regular, and their preferences are also different. Only their sons know each other, but their sons do not know each other. Common hobbies, how many people like to drink tea, how many people like to listen to dramas, and how many people like to be arty, it seems that there is no time to get together. With such dependence, it is really impossible to find their common ground.”

At this moment, Mu Yun suddenly thought of something, and she said:
"The beggars in the capital can pick up some valuables from time to time. Could it be that after the thief committed the crime, he threw all the money he got on the street?"

Ji Ge frowned and asked:
"If he steals, it's not for winning money, is it for the clothes of those girls' homes? But why didn't he put away those girls' clothes, but just throw them on the street, making people doubt the innocence of these girls' homes? ?”

The speculation reached an impasse, so Mu Yun said:
"Let's stop discussing here today. I have asked Xu Jiaying to pry into the secrets of these wealthy businessmen to see if I can dig out deeper information."

Huang was already somewhat surprised.

She just thinks that the heads of these people are very strange. Even though their heads are as big as her own, why can they see the depths of things from many things that she has not noticed.

What surprised her even more was:
"Mu Yun, you still ask those beggars for information?"

Mu Yun smiled slightly, looked at Huang Shi mischievously and said:

"Mother, don't underestimate those hooligans and beggars. They are the most well-informed group of people. Many unexpected information is learned from their mouths."

Mrs. Huang gave her an angry look and said:

"Where am I underestimating them? I just think of you, a girl, and go to those beggars. I'm afraid I won't be gossiped?"

Hearing her words, Mu Yun was about to refute, but suddenly thought of an idea.

She looked at Ji Ge and said:
"We have always focused our investigations on those wealthy businessmen and their sons, but did not question the victims. I think we can start with them."

Ji Ge considered the possibility Mu Yun said, pondered for a while, and said:
"Although they are going there in the name of investigating the case, these rich merchants are very fond of their daughters, and they are afraid that they will not accept our inquiries. What's more, the daughters' homes in the capital are not always out of the door. The ones who stay at home all day? What kind of moths can they make?"

This is indeed the case, the daughter's family in the capital is very different from their village.

The girls in the village, because they are sensible early on, need to share the housework, so they go in and out of the house as frequently as men.And there are not so many rules and regulations in the town, there are usually women and girls coming and going on the street, Mu Yun is used to the girls coming and going freely, so she thinks that the girls in the capital can also go out casually of.Now hearing what Ji Ge said, she realized her mistake.

At the same time, another thought came to her, but she didn't have a basis for guessing, so she didn't say it.

Seeing that it was getting late, several people agreed to talk about it next time and go back to rest first.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

The three of them were still clueless, and Ji Ge was a little nervous.

Just at this time, things suddenly turned around.

this day.

Because they were worried about Ji Ge's case, they didn't pay much attention to the change of temperature.When they found out, red rashes had already appeared on several of them.Mu Yun felt that the medicine shops in the capital city were too expensive, so she wanted to go to the forest next to the capital to gather some herbs. On the one hand, she could relax and broaden her mind. Medicinal materials can also be sold for a sum of money.

Thinking of this, she told Mrs. Huang and went to the mountains to collect herbs.

Huang was worried that Mu Yun would go out alone, and wanted to call Lin Jinyan back to accompany Mu Yun.But Mu Yun repeatedly shied away, repeatedly emphasizing that she is not a three-year-old child.

Mrs. Huang couldn't say no to her, so she let her go.

If Mrs. Huang could predict what would happen later, she would definitely not let Mu Yun go alone.

However, after Mu Yun went up the mountain, she found that she seemed to be lost.

But it's no wonder, after all, the last time she came to the woods near the capital was nearly a year ago, and she can't remember clearly now, so it should be.

Just as she was anxious, she noticed that the grass beside her moved.She quickly became vigilant, staring at the bushes, afraid that a huge animal that she could not resist would appear in the bushes.

All kinds of ferocious animals had passed through her mind, but when she really saw what came out, she was even more horrified.

I saw a humanoid thing falling out of the grass.

The reason why he is said to be a human-shaped ornament is because he has the image of a human being, but he is wrapped in a black cloak, and the mask under the cloak is exposed when he moves.The whole person looks ghostly, not like a good person.

Mu Yun watched the man get up, and thought for a moment that even meeting a beast at this time is better than meeting a bad person.

After the man got up, he saw Mu Yun.

"Are you lost?" It was a man's voice.

This person's voice was very nice, which made Mu Yun let down her guard a bit.

She smiled wryly and said:

"I've been here once before, but it's been so long that I can't remember it now."

The man gave a soft "um", and when he missed Mu Yun's side, he whispered:
"Follow me."

Mu Yun was very pleasantly surprised.

Probably because the other party's voice was calm and charming, she subconsciously lowered her guard a bit.She only thought that although this person was dressed a little weirdly, he should be kind in his heart.

Thinking of this, Mu Yun couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

The moment I saw these two, I still had all kinds of bad guesses about him, but now this man's friendly behavior slapped her in the face.

After all, the two are strangers who have only met once, and it is not easy to strike up a conversation on the road.

While following him, Mu Yun looked at the surrounding environment, only to feel that she was following him all the way, but the scene she saw seemed like she had never seen it before, as if she had walked out of the woods in the capital and was heading towards an unknown place go.

After a cup of tea, the two walked to a bamboo house.

Mu Yun was surprised that there was a leisurely bamboo forest hidden in this mountain forest.

There is a large open space in the middle of the bamboo forest, facing a bamboo house on the open space.From Mu Yun's point of view, she is facing the gate of the main house diagonally. After entering through the gate, there are about four houses.

The man took a few more steps forward and realized that Mu Yun hadn't followed, so he turned his head and said to Mu Yun:
"This is my house. If you don't dislike it, you can take a rest first. I'll take you out after I clean up."

When Mu Yun heard that he was going to take her out of the forest, she was very happy and followed him into the bamboo house.

Although the bamboo house looks small from the outside, when you enter, you will find something different.

As soon as you enter the house, you will see the main hall, where several wooden chairs and a table are placed. Behind the table are two doors, leading to two bedrooms respectively.From Mu Yun's angle, you can see the other side of the bedroom on the left, and there seems to be another room.

Mu Yun guessed that that room should be the kitchen.

The furnishings in the house are the same as the house from the outside, plain and simple.It seems that because of the unique fragrance of bamboo, she just feels that standing in the middle of the room is like being baptized.

At this time, a small box was placed on the oblique corner of the table.

Mu Yun didn't have the habit of peeking at other people's things, so she sat upright on the chair, wanting to wait for that person to pack up and take her away.

She originally thought that what the man said to tidy up meant taking off the cloak and the mask, but when the man stood in front of Mu Yun again, he was still dressed in the same way.It seems that because the owner looks very elegant, she already believes that the masked man is a good person.

She asked without thinking:
"Why are you wearing a mask at home?"

The man who was about to open the box on the table froze, and said:

"Personal preferences."

After Mu Yun got a universal answer, she also realized that her question was inappropriate.

It was the first time they met, so they were considered strangers at all, and her question was obviously only asked when the two of them reached the relationship of friends.She pursed her lips, sat down on the chair obediently again, and said no more.

The masked man seemed to have sensed a bit of embarrassment, and turned around and entered the bedroom.

It was only then that Mu Yun realized that the box on the table had been opened by the masked man, revealing the very familiar traces inside.

It is a bamboo leaf mark!
It's the trace that the bamboo leaf thief will always leave behind every time he commits a big case!
Mu Yun was startled, she couldn't help but backed away, knocked down the chair next to the table, and made a huge noise.

The masked man came out of the bedroom, looked at Mu Yun's terrified eyes, and then at the opened box on the table, stepped forward in two steps, and grabbed Mu Yun.

Mu Yun wanted to escape, but when he pulled her, she immediately lost her strength. She wanted to break free, but she couldn't shake her. She could only be dragged by this man to the bedroom that the masked man had entered before.

While being dragged, Mu Yun was thinking of countermeasures.But before she could figure out why, she was thrown into a dark place.

It turned out that there was a cellar door in the corner of the bedroom.

It was through this door that Mu Yun was thrown into the cellar by the masked man.

It was dark all around, because she couldn't see clearly, the fear of the unknown enveloped Mu Yun.

She threw herself on the door, beat on it, and cried:

"Help, let me out. It's wrong for you to do this! If you have any grievances, you can tell me..."

"Oh!"

The masked man threw something hard at the door.

Mu Yun still wanted to say something, but she shrank in fright from the sudden loud sound on the door panel. She could only hide behind the door, relying on the light coming in through the crack of the door, which gave her a sense of security.
