a very dark dark guard

Chapter 40
Yunzhou ran over, pointed to the jujube tree in the courtyard, and said, "Eat jujube, eat... jujube." Don't eat it, take jujube pills, why eat that, I bought you red bean cake, eat it.

I can't come back empty-handed. Last time he told me to return empty-handed, I felt lost.

But he didn’t say anything, never showed negative emotions to me, it’s too difficult for a fool, the guards Jia and Xin looked at him, he would beat them when he was upset, even though he didn’t use martial arts, his fists were not small, It still hurts to hit someone.

The guard Jia said that it was because Yunzhou was afraid that I would throw him away, so he didn't dare to lose his temper with me.

His brain has not recovered, and I have been paying attention to his condition every day. His caution is not driven by reason, but by instinct and intuition.

The boss is so tall that he looks like a poor little boy for snacks. Now he has enough capital for farming, and the cost of eating and drinking is nothing, so I will feed him as much as possible.

Although he ate non-stop every day, he didn't eat any expensive things, such as fried chestnuts, candied haws, and eight-treasure porridge with peanuts and melon seeds.

The most expensive ones are the lo mei, but to be honest, the prices in this world are really not high.

Converted to the price of my original world, all the food is too affordable.

Especially snacks, dried tofu, edamame, salted peanuts, including dim sum nuts, are all the price of rotten cabbage.

When Yunzhou saw the snacks in my hand, his eyes lit up instantly.

The guard Jia took it for him and opened the paper bag. The guard Xin smiled and came over and asked, "Ma'am, what did you gain today? Did you hit the ground running and succeed immediately?"

"That's not true, it's just a little harvest." I touched the bamboo tube hanging on my waist and asked him to take care of Yunzhou. I have something to go to Lu Mengzhu.

Now I don't need to make an appointment in advance which courtyard I want to enter in the Lu family. The housekeeper and servant girl will run into the house and tell the master when they see which courtyard I enter.

When I went to the gate of Lu Mengzhu's small courtyard, the gatekeeper ran in to report.

Lu Mengzhu's complexion is very good, and he is basically in good shape.

He accumulated a lot of affairs during the poisoning period, and he was busy preparing for the wedding these two days. He just started to take care of these when he was ill, and the Lu family didn't dare to withdraw the daily tonic medicine for him.

Seeing me coming, League Leader Lu put down the pen in his hand. His desk was full of various books and papers and 'documents' that needed his approval.

"Master Lu." I entered the room and greeted him.

"Doctor An." Leader Lu insisted on calling me that, and refused to call me by my first name.

"There is something that may be related to the recent serial murders. Leader Lu is well-informed. I would like to ask you to take a look." I untied the bamboo tube at my waist, and the sleepy bug inside had been killed by me, and it was no longer useful to others. threaten.

"This is……"

"It was taken out of a boy's body. He was poisoned and fell into a coma all day long. This bug has the ability to make people sleep for a long time. I want you to see what it is and where it came from. Who can keep it?"

Lu Mengzhu got up, walked around the desk and walked to me.

"Don't worry, it's dead and won't harm anyone anymore." I poured out the worms from the bamboo tube and poured them on a piece of white paper on the desk.

The worm is as big as a peanut and has black patterns on its body.

Lu Mengzhu took a closer look, thought carefully for a while, and said that he had never seen it with his own eyes, but when he was young, he had heard of a bug.

Or he has heard of a person who loves to raise insects. Unlike the Golden Gu Society, this person's insect breeding is not like raising Gu, but like an insect collector.

This person has a collection of all the strange insects in the world.

In his collection, there are bugs that can make people laugh, cry, sleep forever and wander in dreams.

The bugs collected by this person were targeted by some Jianghu people. After testing, they confirmed that they were real and effective, so they wanted to buy bugs from this person that were useful to them.

This person disagreed, perhaps because he guessed that these people were up to no good and bought bugs to harm others, so he was determined not to sell his collection.

As a result, they were murdered. These people were really not good people. If they failed to buy it, they killed all the thirty members of this family and looted all the bugs.

"This incident caused a sensation in the entire martial arts world. At that time, the leader of the martial arts world, Lin Yanbin, sent people to thoroughly investigate the murderer of the Miemen case. Unfortunately, after more than two years of investigation, they found nothing, and finally had to shelve it."

"Since then, there have been no incidents of strange insects harming people?"

"No."

It doesn't make sense to kill more than 30 people in a family without killing them afterwards.

Killing and robbing insects happened decades ago, and the continuous incidents of strange insects killing people only appeared today, which can only show that either this group of people acted cautiously and used insects to harm people a lot, but they never exposed it.

Or they are dissatisfied with the bugs of the past. Based on the collection bugs, they have spent many years cultivating them. Now the bugs that can kill people invisibly are no longer the "entertainment bugs" that were only for viewing and talking in the past.

"That's fine, you are busy, I won't bother you."

"If Miracle Doctor An wants to investigate this case, the Lu family and the Wulin League will help with all their strength. If you need help, feel free to ask."

"I will, goodbye."

Although I took Bai Mudan's money, such vicious killings during the martial arts conference would be extremely bad for the entire martial arts alliance and the Lu family.

As long as someone can catch the murderer and stop people from dying for no reason in the city, the Wulin League and the Lu family will support it.

Of course, there are too many people chasing murderers for rewards, and it is impossible for the Lu family to treat everyone preferentially, just like the Yamen can provide autopsy records, but they still have to queue up to borrow them.

Once the reward order of the Wulin League is issued, it is equivalent to installing countless humanoid surveillance cameras in Yuancheng.

Every night, roofs, street corners, and all places where people can hide are full of people squatting.

Just waiting for the murderer to come out to kill people, this trick is very effective, the city was safe and sound for two consecutive days, and no new victims appeared.

But according to the clues I got from my investigation, the murderer didn't need to sneak into their room at night.

It is enough to have contact during the day, no matter how many people squat at night, the murderer will not be seen.

The guard Xin was very curious about whether I had found any clues, so he cleaned up the cloud boat and put it to sleep, then circled around me.

At the beginning of the investigation, I didn't want to say too much, so I told him to go to bed quickly, and I will tell him the process when the murderer is caught.

The next morning, a little maid came over to tell me that someone was waiting for me at the back door of the Lu residence.

Both Ah Zhao and Bai Mudan's master and servant are not people who can keep their mouths shut. They asked me to investigate the case, which is already well known in the mansion.

The maids, servants, servants, and nurses in the mansion gathered to discuss when they had time, and looked for clues to the progress of solving the case by observing my daily life.

Each of them is like Sherlock Holmes, reasoning well.

For example, when I came back with a bamboo tube yesterday, they guessed that it must contain evidence related to the case.

A stranger came to my door today, and they guessed that this person was the witness I had found.

They whispered when they got the chance, but I heard them all.
