The third deceased fell on the road, wearing a prison uniform. She was lying on her stomach, so she turned over to see the words written on it clearly.

"Theft."

Fornication, oral, theft...

Pei Ce frowned and suddenly thought of something. He asked Zhu Captou: "What is Qi Chu?"

Zhu Captou often heard people talk about it, but not many people actually divorced their wives these days, so how could he, a grown man, remember it.

But Pei Ce said: "The seven problems are: childlessness, one category; adultery, the second category; indifference to aunts, the third category; talking, the fourth category; theft, the fifth category; jealousy, the sixth category; and serious illness, the seventh category." . "

Zhu Captou was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately figured out something.

"My lord, you mean these people..."

"Yes, the first one to die was Lan Niang. She committed adultery, and the second one was Mrs. Xu. What was this deceased person?"

Zhu Tou asked someone to investigate and said: "Theft, her name is Cai'er, she has no father or mother, she often steals on this street."

The more Zhu Captou thought about it, the more he felt that Pei Ce was right.

That's so true.

No wonder he is an adult, he really has two brushes.

"Now that we have adultery, talk, and theft, what about the childless and innocent aunt from the beginning?"

Capt. Zhu said: "Perhaps the murderer was not the one who killed in the order?"

"It's possible, I'd better go and investigate."

"Yes."

Zhu Baotou left without stopping, and Pei Ce knelt down to look at the body.

This Cai'er is no longer young, and there are some wrinkles on her face. She died the most hastily among the three deceased, because the previous deceased were all stripped of their clothes before wearing prison clothes, but this deceased was different. , she was wearing clothes underneath, and the prison uniform outside looked like it had been put on in a hurry.

In other words, the murderer had a premeditated plan to kill others, but Cai'er did it on the spur of the moment.

Since it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, did he keep this prison uniform with him all the time to find the target? Or did he go back to get it after killing someone?

Pei Ce suddenly stood up and looked around. There was a circle of people watching the fun. Everyone's face was looking at and curious. Only one person looked at Pei Ce and looked away guiltily. Pei Ce suddenly pointed at He said to the officer: "Catch him."

The man turned around and ran away. Several government officials surrounded him and quickly brought him back. In the yamen, Pei Ce looked at this man. He was very childish and looked about thirteen or fourteen years old.

"What's your name?"

"I...I..." He hesitated, and the officer threatened him: "Speak quickly, or you will be severely punished."

The child then said: "My name is Steamed Bun."

"Steamed buns..." Pei Ce asked, "Did you kill Cai'er?"

"No...I didn't!" He hurriedly shook his head in denial.

"You didn't kill him, why did you run?"

"I...I...I'm just scared."

"Afraid?" Pei Ce was puzzled: "What are you afraid of?"

Steamed Bun suddenly burst into tears: "I'm afraid you'll say I'm a murderer."

Pei Ce laughed angrily: "Why should I say you are the murderer for no reason? Could it be...what did you see?"

Mantou swallowed his saliva, and under the coercion and inducement of the yamen servant, he told the truth.

Although Cai'er is a thief, she is a caring thief who often helps homeless children like them.

Steamed buns are one of them and the biggest one.

According to him, Cai'er had a quarrel with him yesterday because he secretly took the money box from the owner of the steamed bun shop. Cai'er was very angry and said that he didn't learn well at a young age.

The mantou said: "Aren't you the same?"

Cai'er angrily slapped him in the face and left with the money box.

Steamed Bun also cried in grievance all night, and then he fell asleep unknowingly. When he woke up, Cai'er hadn't come back yet, so he ran out to look for her and saw Cai'er lying on the ground.

"I...I was so scared, I just...ran away."

He cried again. (End of chapter)
