"Beimenyuan, if Xiaoxiao really died suddenly, the Bailing Sword Sect would not say anything, but there was another hidden truth in the cause of Xiaoxiao's death, that is, the Beimen family deliberately murdered people and killed them. Lord Lu would definitely be able to enforce the law impartially. It is no longer a housework..."

"Oh? What happened?" Lu Sheng asked casually.

"Reported to Lord Lu, the Bailing Sword Sect and the Beimen Family were originally in good terms. Seven years ago, Gong Xiaoxiao, a disciple of the Bailing Sword Sect, married Wuji, the Beimen Family. Every year, Xiaoxiao would go back to the Master Sect to stay for two days. The couple had a good relationship.

But suddenly, the Beimen family sent us a message saying that Gong Xiaoxiao suddenly suffered from a serious illness and died. We rushed over. But when we asked to meet Gong Xiaoxiao for the last time, they actually said that they had been buried.

What a joke. How can the customs of Chuzhou be buried within three days? You have to wait until the relatives and friends who are paying their respects come to see you before they are buried? No matter what, there is no reason not to let us meet."

"I don't even let my mother's family see you?" Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, "The Beimen Family is doing this... a bit unreasonable, right?"

"This..." Beimenyuan's face flashed and eventually turned into depressed. He knew that once Lu Sheng knew about this, then everything he wanted to hide would be futile.

In an instant, Beimenyuan made a decision in his heart and bowed again, "Mr. Lu, I know that it must be impossible to hide it. I just told the truth that Xiaoxiao's death... was indeed not a sudden death."

"Bang--" With a loud bang, Jun Mo Ran slapped the table, "Beimenyuan, you really have a ghost, say, how did Xiaoxiao die?"

"Jun Moran, shut up! Xiaoxiao is your apprentice, she is also my daughter-in-law, my eldest grandson's biological mother. She was killed by someone, wouldn't I be angry or distressed? Don't you want to know what I invited my friends to make friends in Wulin to look for?

OK, let me tell you, what we are looking for is not a treasure, but a flower-picking thief."

"A flower-picking thief?" Jun Moran's face suddenly changed, "You mean Xiaoxiao..."

"I swore in front of Xiaoxiao Ling that the flower-picking thief would not die well. But... can I tell this truth to the outside world? Should I still let Xiaoxiao be humiliated by reputation in the nine springs? How can my Beimen family gain a foothold in the world in the future?

We want to avenge this revenge, but we can only hide the cause of Xiaoxiao's death."

"I don't believe it!" Jun Moran shouted angrily, "Xiaoxiao is the eldest young lady of the Beimen family. Which flower-picking thief can succeed in the Beimen family? Is the iron wall of the Beimen family made of paper?"

"If it were in the Beimen family, how could such a thing happen? Xiaoxiao had been missing for three days before being killed! We kept searching until the day before yesterday when she found her body was thrown into Qinglan Lake."

"What's going on?" Lu Sheng frowned. He originally planned to come to the Beimen family to find the murderer who killed the black bat, but he didn't expect to meet a flower-picking thief again. In an instant, Lu Sheng thought of the murdered brides. Lu Sheng had an intuition that what happened to Gong Xiaoxiao might have some connection with the case he was chasing.

"Seven days ago, Xiaoxiao went out to Jiangling City to buy jewelry, but she didn't come back at night. We were about to go out to find her, but suddenly, an old friend of mine found the body of a maid who was going out with Xiaoxiao on the way to the Beimen family and brought it back.

Only then did we realize that something was wrong. We searched for three days in a row, but no one had seen her. But three days later, Xiaoxiao's body appeared in Qinglan Lake.

I have been living in the world for a lifetime and have never seen such a vicious flower-picking thief. So... I have invited my friends to inquire for me. Although several flower-picking thieves have been killed by us these days, they do not admit that they are the murderers who killed Xiaoxiao."

Speaking of this, Beimenyuan's face sighed dejectedly, and Beimen Wuji, who was standing behind him, suddenly turned ashen.

"Where is the body? I want to open a coffin and examine the autopsy."

"Let's go in the inner courtyard!" Beimenyuan replied in a low voice.

"Didn't you say Xiaoxiao has been buried?" Jun Moran said angrily with an ugly expression.

"The murderer has not been rectified and Xiaoxiao's ghost has not yet rested. How could I let her be buried? Of course, I have to comfort her in heaven after finding the murderer."

Lu Sheng was taken to the inner courtyard mourning hall. In the mourning hall, a young man was guarding the mourning hall with a three or four-year-old child. Seeing Lu Sheng and others coming, the young man quickly stood up and said, "Dad, they are..."

"No intention, this is Lord Lu of Xuantian Mansion. Lord Lu, this is the old youngest son of Beimen Wuyi. This child is the only son of Xiaoxiao and Wuji. Poor Yuan'er, who is so young, has no mother..."

"Yuan'er, come here and show it to the master!" Jun Moran greeted the child. Sanyuan from the north gate hesitated a little, but walked to Jun Moran. Jun Moran picked up the child, but his expression was so heavy.

Lu Sheng's eyes swept across the North Gate accidentally. This son is a handsome man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and seems to be still stinky. However, Beimenyuan looks like he is already fifty or sixty years old, so he is very strong.

"Everyone is out, you are not allowed to get close without my permission." Lu Sheng said, slowly coming to the edge of the coffin.

"What are you going to do to your sister-in-law?" Beimen suddenly shouted sternly.

"Open the coffin and examine the autopsy!" Sun You's figure flashed and blocked the north gate accidentally. Lu Sheng gently pushed open the lid of the coffin.

"No intention, don't disturb Lord Lu's autopsy, come here for me."

Beimen hesitated for no reason, but followed Beimenyuan to leave the mourning hall.

It was not until everyone left that Lu Sheng took the body out of the coffin and ordered the spider to remove Gong Xiaoxiao's clothes.

"Sure enough..." Lu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he was already sure in his heart.

When Lu Sheng saw Gong Xiaoxiao's death just now, he had already guessed that if Gong Xiaoxiao was raped by a flower-picking thief, there should be a painful expression on his face. But at this moment, there was a strange excited smile on the corner of Gong Xiaoxiao's mouth.

The scars on her body were the same as those brides I saw before.

"Sir, look!" The spider suddenly woke up Lu Sheng and pointed at the palm print under Gong Xiaoxiao's neck.

"This is a corpse spot caused by pinching marks and stagnation. She was strangled to death during the process of being raped. Her palm was seven inches. From this, it is estimated that this man should be about seven feet tall.

Hey, why does there be an extra horn on this pinch mark? Is it a corpse spot?"

"It's not a corpse spot!" Lu Sheng said with great certainty after just a glance, "This is because the murderer is wearing a ring on his hand. The ring is usually something that a man from a wealthy family brings.

I basically only saw a high-ranking official in Dayu and a merchant. There were few people in the martial arts world who brought fingers.”

As he said that, Lu Sheng took out a slender silver needle from his sleeve, and the internal force surged, and the silver needle was instantly stretched straight.

A needle was pierced into Gong Xiaoxiao's stomach, pulled out the silver needle, and sent it to your nose and sniff it gently.

"Sure enough, it was done by the same murderer. Gong Xiaoxiao was filled with a lot of aphrodisiacs during her lifetime."

"However, there is no such pinching mark under the neck of the other seven victims... Moreover, the other seven are all brides, but Gong Xiaoxiao... is already a mother."

"I didn't say that there was only one murderer. Since we already knew that the murderer had an organization, it was obvious that they could not have only one."

"Sir, look!" Sun You suddenly shouted.

Following Sun You's guidance, I saw dark red blood gushing out from Gong Xiaoxiao's ears.

"The place where Gong Xiaoxiao was discovered was in Qinglan Lake. After being soaked in the lake, her body felt edema. Now it is normal for blood to flow out from her seven orifices..."

Suddenly, Lu Sheng found a foreign object in the blood, and Lu Sheng took out the tweezers and took out the foreign object.

"What kind of fragment is this?"

The spider approached the front and looked at it for a long time, "This looks like... a fragment of purple jade. But, if it were a fragment of purple jade, how could it flow out of Gong Xiaoxiao's ears?"

"Purple jade is expensive, and it can even be said to be priceless. One ounce of purple jade can be exchanged for ten taels of gold. This should be the perpetrator accidentally broke the purple jade when he killed Gong Xiaoxiao, and then a fragment splashed into Gong Xiaoxiao's cochlea, and now it was brought out by the blood flowing out...

Spider, put on her clothes and re-embed her."

When Lu Sheng was taking the autopsy, there was a big quarrel outside. When Gong Xiaoxiao had such a thing, the Beimen family should not have concealed the Bailing Sword Sect. Now, the Bailing Sword Sect, who learned the truth, was even more reluctant.

"Isn't this absurdity of the young lady of the North Gate family being murdered by a flower-picking thief? Isn't the defense of the North Gate family already seemingly useless? What kind of flower-picking thief can kidnap Xiaoxiao without knowing it, and then send the body back in three days?"

"Jun Moran, have you made enough trouble? We concealed this matter because it was ridiculous, but the flower-picking thief really did see that my Beimen family was useless. Now that Lord Lu has taken action in this case, don't swear by it before Lord Lu can find out the truth."

At this moment, Lu Sheng and the other two walked out of the inner hall, and the crowd stopped quarreling to greet them.

"Mr. Lu, do you have any clues?"

"Mr. Lu, can you find out who the murderer is?"

Looking at the two, Lu Sheng was a little amused. If he could directly find the murderer by examining a corpse, it would be...

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed and his eyes fell on Wuji's right hand of Beimen. Wuji's thumb was a bit strange, and the joints in the middle did not protrude to both ends.

There is only one kind of situation that can cause this situation. Wear something that restricts its growth since childhood, that is,... a ring?

"Don't be impatient, this time I came to the head of the Beimen family." Lu Sheng asked the servants of the Beimen family to bring a basin of water to wash, and then returned to the living room to sit and look at the crowd.

"I came here for a case. In the past month, there have been incidents in the five prefectures of Chuzhou where the bride was kidnapped while seeing off her bride.

Then three days ago, we found the bodies of these seven brides. They were all killed by violence. The murderers were extremely cruel and extremely cruel.

And we just checked Gong Xiaoxiao's body, and it was exactly the same as the seven murdered brides."

"What? Sir, what do you mean is that the one who killed my Xiaoxiao is not an ordinary flower-picking thief?"

The Beimen family heard that the bride disappeared before did not pay much attention to it. Later, such a thing happened from home and even more so. But at least, he also knew that the bride was kidnapped was not done by one person, but by one group of people.
