I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 21 Liao Family's Cloth?

After coming out of the Yamen, Lu Xizhi felt relaxed. She had already discussed with Wang Yuanzhi that he would be responsible for proposing and persuading Zhao Xuanwu to let Lu Xizhi join the investigation, and she herself just had to be ready to deal with cunning suspects at any time.

Lu Xizhi, a top student at the police academy, knows the danger of disguised investigations. She must be calm, use limited clues to understand and judge, and analyze the murderer's killing patterns.

There is a general summary of such serial murderers in criminal psychology. The personality characteristics of serial murderers are very distinct, high IQ, cold, cruel, and insensitive.Generally speaking, a typical serial murderer does not necessarily have mental problems, but his mental state is undoubtedly deformed and sick. His family background is not necessarily bad, maybe it is quite good, but the whole family must have It is a very big contradiction; under such high-quality external conditions, it is difficult for anyone to associate him with a serial murderer, and such criminals generally have a periodic criminal impulse. In normal life, they are very, very dangerous criminals.

So far in this case, the three suspects have clean appearances, gentle and elegant, and their family backgrounds are also extremely wealthy. However, in this era of three wives and four concubines, the conflicts in the family house are all secrets. Not to mention Lu Xizhi, I am afraid that even Zhao Xuanwu identities are unknown.

In addition, regarding the common feature of all the deceased in this case-the woman in blue, it shows that the murderer was probably persecuted or even abused by women with this feature in his childhood. His childhood was very painful and depressed, which led to adulthood. Then it was intensified in a certain special environment, maybe it was a heavy rain, maybe it was a word from the deceased, or an action that stimulated the murderer, thus killing people to vent their anger.

"Hey, he ran out just now, but now Xiaoxian squinted his eyes?"

Hearing the giggling sound, Lu Xizhi raised his head in a daze, and it took several seconds until he saw it clearly before he realized that he had unknowingly returned to Xiansi Tower.

Looking at the clear sky, wondering if it would rain today, he dragged Yu Niang into the house.

"Yu Niang, can you get me a coat?"

"You silly girl, didn't we choose all the cloth just now and you forgot?"

Only then did Lu Xizhi remember that there seemed to be such a thing, "I want a blue one, and I'm in a hurry, so it's only a couple of days."

"You must have something to hide from me. You have been rushing in and out these two days every time, and you still want this and that. What happened?"

Lu Xizhi's eyes dodged, "What's the matter? I just went out to watch the excitement for a while. I saw blue flowers in the flower shop. I thought it was pretty, so I thought it would be beautiful to make a coat."

There were still two customers in the store picking cloth at this time, Jin Yu let the gold thread and silver thread look after her, and dragged Lu Xizhi into the back room.

"There's no one here, to be honest, she's very mysterious." Jin Yu knew that the girl was lying.

"Yu Niang, it's really nothing serious."

Jin Yu's expression was not good, so Lu Xizhi had no choice but to use his trump card, put his arms around her waist, put his head on her shoulder, acting like a baby!
"Good Yu Niang, it's indeed a trivial matter, but it's just a small beginning. I promise you, after the matter is completed, I will tell you the whole story." After finishing speaking, she hesitated.

Although Jin Yu was a little dissatisfied with her faltering and concealing attitude, as a good friend, she understood her character to some extent, and she was a measured person, so she agreed despite Lu Xizhi's hard work.

She went to the innermost part, and took out a roll of beautiful emerald-coloured silk from a basket of big baskets and handed it to Lu Xizhi.

"No! I said you are really stubborn. I brought it to you this morning, but you insisted that it belonged to the Liao family. I have nothing to say. Now I know it looks good?" He said, picking up the cloth and gesturing on Lu Xizhi's body.

"According to me, as long as I use it to look good, it doesn't matter if it is the Liao family. Besides, if the Liao family is a salt merchant, why don't you eat it?"

"This cloth was shown to me this morning?"

"That's right, you're lucky, you threw it back without even looking at it, and without even touching it."

Lu Xizhi didn't seem to hear what she was saying, and stared directly at the mirror in a daze.

Jin Yu is still sighing: "Don't say it, the cloth is expensive for a reason, and the color is so beautiful. No wonder the Liao family's business can be so big, so they are willing to spend their money."

"Why do you say that?"

Jin Yu laughed that her lady from the official family didn’t understand anything. They hadn’t seen such a beautiful blue sky blue for many years in this business. Although it was still not as good as the craftsmanship in the palace, the dyeing process was also very complicated. Zhuang is unwilling to do it.The only roll in the store cost a lot of money to get, and I just waited for Lu Xizhi to wear it out with her good looks, and then attract other girls to buy it.

After hearing this, Lu Xizhi asked her: "Yu Niang, how long have you been in this business?"

"My grandparents have been tailors, why? Don't you worry about my craftsmanship?"

"That's not true. I just think it's a piece of cloth. You make it so mysterious. I see a lot of people outside wearing blue."

"Tsk, you man. Don't even look at it, can it compare with this? What kind of linen are those outside people wearing? Can the blue grass color be so bright?"

Lu Xizhi nodded thoughtfully, that's it, she felt a broken thread in her mind was about to be connected.

"Yu Niang, you go to order, do you know any other tailors in this city?"

Yu Niang didn't know why, so she replied: "It seems that several tailor shops in the city are closed."

"Then use this piece of cloth, can you give it to me in these two days?"

"This...however, it will take three days."

No, three days is too long, the murderer is likely to commit another murder.

After thousands of exhortations and ten thousand instructions, telling Yu Niang to do well no matter what, the day after tomorrow at the latest, Lu Xizhi ran home like a wind.

Evening
Zhao Xuanwu was sweating profusely, and returned to the yamen wearing stars. He was a little surprised to see Wang Yuzuo still in the warehouse.

"Why didn't Wang Wuzuo come home so late?"

Wang Yuanzhi rubbed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said that he was waiting for you.

"Where did Catcher Zhao come back from?"

Zhao Xuanwu loosened his belt, put down his machete, and poured a pot of water, "I went to the Street Department to see if they have collected women's blue coats and skirts these days." He wiped away the scattered water droplets .

"Unfortunately, there is so much rubbish that they can't remember it."

Wang Yuanzhi was not surprised by this answer, because the murderer might have taken the victim's belongings away.

"Captain Zhao, I have an idea, maybe the murderer can be revealed."

"Oh? Wang Yuzuo, please tell me."

Therefore, Wang Yuanzhi explained Lu Xizhi's plan to Zhao Xuanwu in detail, and at the end, he added that Dongchang wanted us to solve the case within three days, which was the only feasible and fastest way.

Zhao Xuanwu nodded, indicating that it is possible.

"But there is no female catcher in the yamen, and our elders are all big and three rough, who will pretend to be this woman?"

"Captain Zhao, I have a very smart friend who is also courageous and has unique insights into this case."

"Haha, that's better, who is it?"

"The third girl of the Lu family, Lu Xizhi."
