Chapter 185 - Nine ileum 17
“Which year I have forgotten, probably in autumn or winter, there is a light market on the banks of the Luo River, which is quite lively. I went there at that time… They came to visit the Taoist temple at home, and I know what they do at home. …”
Li Shen said unhurriedly, Wu Xiang frowned and asked, “Then how do you know they will go to the lamp market?”
Li Shen smiled, “I never specially waited for him, because I had noticed a few families at that time, and Luohe Lantern City was just around the New Year’s Day. I just tried my luck and saw Whoever takes it away.”
“It’s that simple?” Wu Xiang always felt that Li Shen’s explanation was too fluent, and many details were vague during the period, but because it has been so many years, it really can’t be exacting, “Then, when did they come to Taoist temple before then? Was this young master also here at that time?”
Li Shen hesitated, “I can’t remember, but I have always been here…”
Wu Xiang stared at him for a moment, then suddenly walked to the door of the cell and told Hou Yang, “Go to Ming Gongzi’s mansion and invite them to the mansion.”
Hou Yang took the order, and Wu Xiang asked again: “Tell me what happened after you took the person away.”
Li Shen swallowed hard, and those turbid but not panicked eyes drooped slightly, “I didn’t get it that time. I had taken the drug, but the kid still ran away–“
Wu Xiang stepped back two steps, leaned on the table, and motioned to the office worker on the side to record carefully, “To be more detailed, where did you catch the child, where did you take the child, and what is that child? What time did it run?”
Li Shen frowned, “I…I can’t remember, it was at night…I found the child in the downtown area. He no longer recognizes me, but I said I recognize his parents. Normally, I do He believed this, and left the long street with me. I found an uninitiated man, a child of a few years old, and he would not be suspicious if he held it…”
Wu Xiang sneered, “You can’t remember anything when you are working on this case? Then you always remember what you wore on your body at the time, right?”
“The clothes I wear are just ordinary clothes. I wore a mask and maybe some other gadgets…” Li Shen recalled carefully, “I can’t remember anything else.”
He coughed again as he spoke. The sound of a dry cough reverberated in the cell, making everyone’s hearts awkward. After the coughing was over, Li Shen said in a dumb voice, “I am coming to an end now, why bother to coax you……”
Suddenly he looked at the crowd with compassion, “I have served the true God for many years, and he wants me to serve under his old man’s house. I will tell you what you want to know.”
When Wu Xiang heard his godly words, he couldn’t wait to punch him in the face, “You don’t say such nonsense here, I also advise you to think about the details of the year, otherwise, even if your deadline is approaching, it will not be easy to die. !”
So far, he swept his eyes on Bo Ruoyou, and then asked: “The case of this young man you said happened in Jianhe seventeen years ago. At that time, you didn’t succeed. What happened later? Your next murder. When was it?”
Li Shen’s face still looked like oil and salt, but Bo Ruoyou’s hands gathered in front of him suddenly clenched. The light in the cell was dim, and Huo Weilou’s eyes slowly fell on Bo Ruoyou, he groaned slightly. , Crossing the arm of the chair, grasped the thin hand of Ruoyou.
Bo Ruoyou came back to her senses, turned her eyes to meet his pulsed gaze, her heart shook, and then she felt her back stiff and sore. She held Huo Wei Building back, loosened her tight shoulders, and concentrated again. Go and listen to Li Shen’s answer.
“The next time… the next time is after a long time, after a year… I want to try this method again. It was also on the bank of the Luohe River at the time. Little boy—”
Bo Ruoyou’s lips tightened in an instant, but Li Shen suddenly said helplessly: “But there is a little girl next to him, oh, it’s a pair of siblings…”
Bo Ruoyou’s shoulders were tight as a string, she was sitting straight, as if she was about to stand up in the next moment, Li Shen’s low-pitched but peaceful voice still echoed in the cell like an evil spirit.
“The siblings and brothers are both officials. I wanted to take that young man away, but the elder sister followed. Both of them are only four or five years old, and they are all small dolls. So I simply took the two of them away, but I didn’t expect that something went wrong halfway, and I almost let the two of them run together…”
Knowing that Li Shen was talking about Sister Bo Ruoyou, Wu Xiang also straightened up instantly, “What then?”
Li Shen laughed sighfully, “My sister is older and runs faster. I was probably scared by me. She is not afraid of the dark. What surprised me even more was that she left her brother and ran away by herself… “
Bo Ruoyou’s complexion instantly turned pale.
Li Shen’s smile made a mockery, “But you can’t blame her, children, I just remember to protect myself, her brother kept crying, crying heartbreaking, but what’s the use? Four or five years old. I caught him and brought him back to my house on the bank of the Luo River, where I sacrificed him…”
Bo Ruoyou’s body trembled slightly, and she managed to endure it before she got up and left. She stared at Li Shen with a complicated expression on her face, which made Li Shen a little suspicious. She turned around and looked at her again, but after many years, Li Shen He couldn’t recognize her for a long time, he smiled nonchalantly, and then turned his eyes to look at Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang never thought that the truth of the year would be the case. The corners of his lips twitched, “Where is your house?”
“It’s in the Baijia Village on the edge of the Luo River.”
After Li Shen finished speaking, Wu Xiang’s expression sank, “Baijia Village? Baijia Village has been demolished…”
Li Shen nodded calmly, “You are right, it was demolished, and now it has been bought by the nobles, and they are all built in other villages.”
“So we can’t find the scene of the crime that year?” Wu Xiang asked again.
Li Shen sighed, “It’s been more than ten years, so what if I find it, do I still keep the dojo?”
Wu Xiang couldn’t help cursing in a low voice, “You are a Taoist, and Taoism also emphasizes goodness. You have harmed so many children without the power to bind chickens, so there is no guilt in your heart?”
Li Shen raised his eyes again to look at the cell roof, his voice hoarse but sincere, “Ten Fang Daxing is the true god, and believers offer fairy children to serve, it is also their good fortune. Although the world thinks that they die early, in the sky, they follow the true **** to cultivate. The experience of the world and the suffering of going to **** after death are lost. Isn’t it their blessing?”
Wu Xiang clenched his fists and asked with the wrong teeth: “Do you still remember what this little son’s surname is?”
Li Shen didn’t think for long this time, “If I remember correctly, it should be Bo, a sentence about them in the capital, what is their name… A Sanshangshu or Sanhanlin, they sent a lot of People were looking for this little boy on the banks of the Luo River. I remember very clearly. In order not to let them find out so early, I took the body to the lower reaches of the Luo River—”
Bo Ruoyou stood up suddenly, and the chair behind her made a harsh sound. She gritted her teeth and glanced at Li Shen, then turned and walked outside the cell. Huo Wei Building followed, Wu Xiang looked anxious. Shi couldn’t help it anymore and stepped forward and kicked Li Shen. He and his chair were kicked to the ground. Wu Xiang picked him up again and said cruelly: “You’d better tell me carefully. point–“
Bo Ruo quietly stepped out of the cell and walked out of the cell along the corridor. When the sky shone outside, she began to breathe violently. Her hands were cold, and her pale face was covered with cold sweat, lifting up. Glancing at the sky, the snow didn’t know when it stopped, the sky was dazzling, and her eyes were dark.
She shook her body, and was immediately supported by Huo Weilou, who came out from behind. She subconsciously grasped Huo Weilou’s wrist, and a strong sorrow poured from her heart to her nose.
She heard the worst truth.
“Youyou, you were only five years old back then. It’s the most normal behavior for children to feel afraid of wanting to escape. Besides, if you don’t run, it’s hard for you to escape. Don’t say you were only five years old at the time, but now you are in danger, I I also hope you leave others alone.”
Huo Weilou took her into her arms and raised her hand to wipe her sweat, “What’s more, this person’s memory is not clear, and the description is vague. He may remember that there is a deviation, but it is not necessarily true. Your sister and brother were taken away that night, and there are any accidents. possible……”
Bo Ruoyou’s fingertips were still trembling, Li Shen’s words resounded like a curse in her ears. She could even think of the four-year-old Bo Lanzhou being caught by Li Shen and crying helplessly in the long night. The miserable despair.
Her temples ached suddenly. She was a person who was not afraid of pain, but at the moment she whispered from the pain, Huo Weilou keenly noticed something was wrong, “Youyou?”
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, but his body fell down as if he couldn’t stand it. Huo Weilou hurriedly hugged her horizontally. Regardless of the number of people in the yamen, he walked towards the door of the yamen, attracting countless yamen along the way. The attention was so low that everyone didn’t know where Bo Ruoyou was. When they walked to the door, they saw Ming Guilan and his son and Sun Zhaozheng coming to the back hall together.
When everyone ran into it, Sun Zhao said in amazement, “What’s the matter?”
Huo Weilou said solemnly: “She is a little unwell, I will take her home first.”
After speaking, he didn’t care much. After bypassing a few people, he left the yamen, got on the carriage, hesitated for a while, or sent Bo Ruoyou back to the mansion to find Cheng Yunzhi.
The carriage galloped up, amidst the bumps, Bo Ruoyou curled up in Huo Weilou’s arms with a sweaty face. She closed her eyes slightly, wringing her brows in pain, and pressing her temples with one hand subconsciously, but still could not stop the pain. Huo Weilou only felt that there was a blunt knife cutting on the tip of his heart. While he helped her rub the forehead, he called her, “Youyou—”
Bo Ruoyou’s eyelashes were wet from the pain, and he called several times before she opened her eyes trembling, but at that moment, Huo Weilou’s breath was suddenly held.
Her eyes were black holes, and there was no light in the originally beautiful and clear black pupils, as if there was a fire here, burning her tough and gentle soul into ashes.
