Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 88

"Jiying," Li Yan seemed to have learned something from the conversation of Xu Zun and others, hurriedly pulled Xu Zun aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?

"Could it be...do you think that Miss Lu is hidden in Qinglan Academy?"

"No..." Xu Zun shook his head, "Not necessarily. I just know that there are still people in Qinglan Academy who know the inside story, so I handed over this blue book to us.

"As for whether Miss Lu is in the academy, that's another matter!"

"Miss Lu is sixteen years old," Yuan Xingtai analyzed, "and the group of thieves mentioned by Ju Butou just kidnapped girls aged 9 to 14, now it seems that the upper age limit must be changed to 16, right? "

"But..." Zhao Yu put forward his own opinion, "If Ms. Lu is also missing, why isn't it shown in this book?"

"Ju Butou," Xu Zun asked Ju Ran, "Have you done an in-depth investigation on those disappearance cases? Do those missing girls have any common characteristics?"

"Yes, yes, for example..." Zhao Yu added, "Have all those girls studied in Qinglan Academy?"

Oh?
Zhao Yu's words immediately attracted everyone's attention to him.

"No, no," Ju Ran quickly waved her hands, "Those girls come from different backgrounds, some of them are poor, how could they afford to go to Qinglan Academy?"

"Yes... yes," Tai Min added, "Among the girls here, it seems that only Lu Xiaofeng has attended Qinglan Academy."

"Qinglan Academy..." Yuan Xingtai muttered silently, "It was founded by the old lady of the Hou Mansion, we can't move it."

"Aside from that?" Xu Zun asked again, "Is there anything else in common?"

"The family background is different, the age is different, it seems..." Ju Ran said, "There is nothing in common, right?
"Oh, by the way, Xu Tixing," he thought of something, and quickly added, "If there is anything in common, it is that these missing girls are all very beautiful!"

Oh?
pretty?

Are they all beautiful girls?

Shouldn't...

Thinking of beautiful girls, Xu Zun unnaturally thought of some evil things, and couldn't help worrying about these missing girls.

According to Xu Zun's knowledge, there were indeed some human traffickers who abducted women and children in the Daxuan Dynasty, but the number was extremely limited.

Because it is impossible for human traffickers to conduct transactions in one area, they often need to carry out large-scale transfers.

In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and human traffickers needed to travel long distances to traffic people, and the fees were too high.

Moreover, the control of the prefectures and counties is relatively strict. If you take a group of children across the county, the probability of being caught is very high, and it is not worth the risk.

In addition, even if there are human traffickers, they will traffic babies and children at most, and they will not traffic older children, because older children are already sensible, which will increase the risk of exposure.

Finally, there is a more critical point, that is, human life was low in the feudal dynasty, and human trafficking made no money at all.

Therefore, the 17 cases of missing girls in Shangyuan City are obviously extraordinary.

You know, there are only 17 cases recorded in the blue book, but who can guarantee that only these 17 cases occurred within three years?

Could it be that the real number far exceeds this number?
Also, it is acceptable for a girl to disappear, but why, there are still girls who disappear with their whole family?
Are Ju Ran and other Shangyuan City police officers really so incompetent that they can't even catch the shadow of the criminal?
Reminiscent of the burning incident of the Lu Family Bookstore, the sudden case of the corpse of a woman in monk's clothing, and the disappearance of the daughter of the Hou Mansion, Xu Zun's mind was filled with a cloud of worrying fog!

Those who kidnapped these 17 girls were definitely not a group of ordinary kidnappers.

Behind these cases, there must be huge and unknown secrets hidden...

It seems that I can no longer sit still and wait for death, I have to take the initiative to attack, maybe I can gain something.

Thinking of this, Xu Zun said to Zhao Yu and Huo Anu: "You two come with me, let's do something big!"

……

Half an hour later, in the Four Seas Restaurant near the Chengya.

Xu Zun, Zhao Yu and Huo Anu sat at a dining table, and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes, delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Hey, this is the legendary Shangyuan Steam Pot Chicken!" Zhao Yu salivated with a piece of steaming chicken in his mouth, "I finally got it in my mouth today, haha..."

After speaking, he put the whole chicken nugget in his mouth and chewed it. It was a pleasure to watch, full of comfort.

"Come on," Xu Zun said to Huo Anu, "Miss Huo, you have studied hard all morning, try this, this is called fried golden eggs with lobster, the golden eggs are all crab roe, hehe..."

"Master Xu," among the three, only Huo Anu was the most surprised, "Aren't you going to take us to do something big? The big thing is to eat!"

"Wrong!" Xu Zun waved his hand, "How can we accomplish great things without filling our stomach first!?"

"Yes, yes, haha..." Zhao Yu was so busy that there was almost no room for his mouth, "Your Excellency is really sympathetic to the humble, this meal can't be seen in our Xinye County, can't see..."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed another mouthful of foie gras into his mouth in a daze.

"Okay, but..." Huo Anu looked around with the corners of his eyes, "There is something to remind you, there are at least six people watching around us!"

"It's okay, hehe," Xu Zun nodded, "I've met two of them, they are both from the Hou family. I have issued a military order with Lord Hou, so they will naturally send someone to watch me."

"Okay," Huo Anu suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, actually smiled, and said, "I saw that they all looked envious, maybe they are so greedy!"

"Don't worry about them, eat quickly!"

Saying that, Xu Zun also tasted the jerky stir-fry, which was extra crispy and fragrant, with a very special taste.

Shangyuan delicacies are well-known in Daxuan, and Sihai Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Shangyuan City, and what Xu Zun orders are also Sihailou's special dishes.

The delicious food really whetted the appetite, even Huo Anu was no longer reserved, and immediately picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Last night, these three people spent a whole night because of the Lujia Bookstore, and now they are already hungry. Seeing such a table of delicious food, how can they not gobble it up?
In the blink of an eye, the three of them ate like wind and clouds, and they were very comfortable. Those who watched them salivated and swallowed their saliva.

"My lord..." After drinking and eating, Huo Anu continued her curiosity, "What is your plan? You can talk about it now, right?
"Do you want to sneak into that Qinglan Academy and do a good search?
"Or, find out the person who left us the blue book?"

"Yeah," Zhao Yu hiccupped, also expressing deep doubts, "The time you agreed with Lord Hou is getting closer, what are your plans?"

"Huh..." Xu respectfully exhaled, pointed to the eaten plate and said, "This meal is really comfortable, it deserves to cost us 10 taels of silver!

"Hehe... two, next, we have to do something big!"

With that said, Xu Zun stood up.

Huo Anu hastily grasped the iron umbrella, Zhao Yu also tightly grasped the saber, the two were very excited and eager to try.

"The big thing we want to do," Xu Zun said next, "is to go back to the inn—to sleep!"

when!
Huo Anu's iron umbrella hit the ground, and Zhao Yu almost fell...
