Yangzhou City Government Office.

in the hall.

Li Xun sat on the seat, Wu Ziming and another official took out a list and other files, and said: "My lord, one month ago, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, a total of 130 people with the surname Chen died. Five people."

"After our investigation, the dead people are all members of the Chen family."

"The Chen family was almost wiped out."

Li Xun looked at the list and asked, "Who is this Chen family?"

"Returning to the lord, the Chen family has a good reputation in Yangzhou City, and it can be regarded as a larger family of merchants. They are in the canal business, so the family property is relatively rich. As for their reputation, it is because of the Chen family. People, donate money and food every year, so in Yangzhou City, the reputation of the Chen family is still very good."

"My lord, the Chen family are all good people, but they were exterminated overnight." Another official said.

"Han Fei, how many times have I told you that as people in the government office, we must not be selfish when handling a case, otherwise we will make a wrong judgment on the case!" Wu Ziming yelled at the official who spoke .

Seeing this, Li Xun nodded. Wu Ziming was right. As a person handling the case, he must never have selfishness towards any party. In this way, wrong judgments may occur.

"My lord, this subordinate understands!" Han Fei immediately admitted his mistake.

Wu Ziming said to Li Xun: "My lord, it's not that we spread this matter, but because of the reputation of the Chen family, it's true."

Li Xun waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

Such a major case must be concealed, otherwise if it is used by someone with a heart, the impact it will cause is absolutely unimaginable, but now it seems that this case cannot be concealed at all.

Because, the reputation of the Chen family belongs to the ranks of good people in the eyes of the people in Yangzhou City.

and so.

When something happened to the Chen family, the people of the Chen family didn't even need to care about it. The people in Yangzhou City would care.What is it called?This is popular!

"but."

After flipping through the file, Li Xun asked, "The Chen family that you have written on it has a total of 130 people."

"You talk about extermination, but there are only 130 five people on the death list."

"in addition."

Li Xun asked suspiciously: "Since the Chen family is in the canal business, it's impossible for the people who want to come to them to be together at the same time, right? Someone must take the boat?"

"However, it is recorded in your file that overnight, there were 130 corpses in the Chen family compound, and they could all be identified." Li Xun looked at Wu Ziming and asked, "It seems that some Weird, isn't it?"

Wu Ziming said: "My lord, the fifth day of May is the birthday of the old man of the Chen family. Therefore, on that day, no matter how far away the people of the Chen family are, they will come here. Not only this year, but every year, the whole Yangzhou city Everyone knows."

"Does everyone in Yangzhou know about it?" So many people know about a person's birthday?Li Xun had some doubts in his eyes.

Wu Ziming said: "The fifth day of May is not only the birthday of the old man of the Chen family, but also the day when the Chen family contributes. On this day, the Chen family will donate money to the government of Yangzhou and distribute some money and food to those in need outside Yangzhou city."

Li Xun suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was because of this, but in this way, the scope of the murderer was too big.

Everyone knew that the Chen family would be here on this day.

"Does the Chen family have any enemies?" Li Xun continued to look through the file and asked.

Wu Ziming shook his head: "I haven't heard of this, we also checked, but nothing was found."

Han Fei said from the side: "The merchants and merchant ships that cooperate with the Chen family also praise the Chen family. After our careful investigation, vendetta is almost impossible."

"It can't be a vendetta?"

Li Xun felt more and more interesting about this case, it wasn't a vendetta, but he wanted to destroy people's families, tsk tsk, this is more terrifying than a vendetta!

"So, what about the other person?"

"There is still one person missing here." Li Xun asked, pointing to the names on the list.

There were a total of 130 people in the Chen family, but only 130 people died at the scene, and all those found at the scene were corpses, and no one was alive.

One person is still missing.

And this person's name was also on the list, Chen Xiaohe.

"What is missing is Chen Xiaohe, female, aged 20 years old." Wu Ziming said: "At the scene, we did not find any footprints of Chen Xiaohe, and Chen Xiaohe has not appeared in the past month."

"Chen Xiaohe, Chen's parents and daughters."

Li Xun looked at Chen Xiaohe's introduction and asked, "Then you haven't looked for her? A good person can't disappear from the world, right?"

Han Fei said bitterly at this time: "Go back to the prince, I looked for it, but there is no news."

"Oh?"

Li Xun continued to look at the case file: "What about the autopsy results?"

"All were poisoned to death?"

When Li Xun saw the autopsy results, he was stunned. More than 100 people were poisoned to death?

Han Fei nodded: "That's right, after the autopsy, it was discovered that they were all poisoned to death."

"Silence, kill with poison."

Li Xun lay back slightly: "Then is there anything missing in the Chen family's house, or is there any trace of being turned over?"

Wu Ziming shook his head: "Back to the prince, we have thought about this and checked it. There is no trace of turning it over. As for whether there is something missing, we don't know about it."

Han Fei went on to say, "My lord, we also opened the warehouse of the Chen family, and all the money in it is still there. Although we don't know if it was lost or not, if it's for money, then there's no need not to take it away?"

"Killing and poisoning are not for money, and the Chen family has no enemies, and they are deeply loved by the people."

Li Xun gasped, how do you check this stuff?There are no useful clues at all!

"Then find Chen Xiaohe."

Li Xun pointed at Chen Xiaohe's name: "The only person in the Chen family who may be alive, and, after his family was killed for a month, he didn't respond at all, but disappeared instead."

"Find her. In addition, ask someone to find out all the unclaimed corpses in the past two months, especially the unclaimed corpses in the last month." Li Xun said.

Wu Ziming and Han Fei looked at Li Xun.

seem.

They understood a bit: "My lord, what do you mean, Chen Xiaohe might have been killed, but the body was not claimed?"

Li Xun said: "This king didn't say that, it's just a guess."

"Of course, we still need to see the results."

Wu Ziming and Han Fei went to work separately, and Li Xun said to Zhou Huai: "Zhou Huai, you go and bring someone to look for you too."

"Remember, take our own people."

Zhou Huai nodded: "Yes, my lord."

After Zhou Huai also went out, Cheng Chumo watched for a long time, scratched his head, and asked, "My lord, why didn't I understand?"

"The Chen family was silenced, so shouldn't Chen Xiaohe hide?"

Li Xun: "It's time to hide, but I think she should report to the police."

"Come on, let's go to the street. I haven't been to Yangzhou City yet." Li Xun got up and went to the street with Cheng Chumo.
