Shen Lian stood up directly.

"Let's go to the scene."

Shen Lian has finished reviewing all the files, and now he has nothing to do and can go directly to the scene.

When the two walked out of the yamen, they saw a yamen servant from Jing Zhaoyin waiting at the door.

Shen Lian asked: "Where did the murder occur?"

The Yamen servant said: "Go back to Mr. Shen, in Yonglefang."

"Yonglefang?"

Information about Yongle Square quickly appeared in Shen Lian's mind.

Yonglefang is not far from Dali Temple Yamen, but it is not too close either, with a distance of five streets.

Yonglefang is within the scope of the Evernight City.

It is one of the busiest markets in Chang'an.

Most areas in Chang'an have curfews at night.

But there are also a few areas where there is no curfew at night.

Yonglefang is the area where there is no curfew.

This information flashed through Shen Lian's mind in an instant.

He immediately got on his horse and said, "Let's go."

Everyone rode fast horses and quickly arrived at Yongle Square.

There was no need for the yamen servant to tell Shen Lian where the murder took place, Shen Lian saw it at a glance.

Because in front of a store.

There are many people watching.

The people were pointing and talking.

This was obvious and pointed the direction for Shen Lian.

As soon as Shen Lian got closer, he heard the voices of these people.

"Why did another murder happen?"

"I heard that more than ten people died."

"Who did this? This is too much!"

"Is it revenge? Or something?"

"I don't know. The government officials are guarding me and won't let me in."

"What's going on? Why are there so many murders recently!"

"This is different. Last time it was people from the evil organization Beidou Society. They died well, but this time I don't know."

Shen Lian listened to their words and glanced at these common people.

He is thinking about a problem.

That is, the murderer who killed these people.

Could he be among these people at this moment?

Are you going to watch the fun with a smile?

This possibility exists.

When Shen Lian was a detective in his previous life, he encountered many murderers who would come back to watch the fun after killing people.

However, there were too many people in front of him, so it was difficult for Shen Lian to find out who had problems.

While he was thinking, he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the crime scene.

Shen Lian squeezed through the crowd and came to the front.

Jing Zhaoyin's yamen officer saw Shen Lian and quickly bowed to Qin Wenyuan: "Master Shen."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and asked, "Where is Jing Zhaoyin?"

"Return to your lord, Sir Han is inside surveying the scene."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

He and Si She entered the cordoned off area of ​​the Yamen.

As Shen Lian walked, he observed the situation outside.

I saw that the place where the crime occurred was a restaurant.

The restaurant is not small in size, with two floors high.

It is very difficult to open a restaurant in Yongle Square without some connections and enough money.

In the front of the restaurant, everything looks normal.

There were no signs of damage outside the door.

There was no sign of violence opening either.

It seems that the murderer entered the house openly and openly.

Shen Lian entered the restaurant.

As soon as I entered, I saw several corpses lying in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.

Tables and chairs overturned.

It looks like there was a fight here last night.

"Master Shen, you are here."

Jingzhao Yin Hanmin saw Shen Lian arriving and hurriedly came over to greet him.

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He said: "What's going on?"

Han Min said: "Half an hour ago, someone came to report a murder."

"After the official learned about it, he immediately came to investigate and found that eighteen people were dead."

"Wu Zuo just made a simple inspection and found that the time of death of these eighteen people was between Chou Shi and Yin Shi."

Between Chou time and Yin time.

That is between one and three o'clock in the morning.

It is the time when people are most tired and sleepy.

It is also the time when sleep is deepest.

Although there is no curfew in Yonglefang at night, there are not many pedestrians outside at this time, and restaurants are also closed at this time.

After all, not many people would go out to eat in the early morning.

Of course, those who drink flower wine are another matter.

But Huajiu is a special situation after all, different from what is happening now.

Shen Lian said: "Who reported the case?"

Han Min hurriedly asked the Yamen servant to call someone.

Shen Lian looked at this man and saw that he was in his forties and was wearing coarse linen clothes. He looked like an ordinary farmer.

This man had a nervous look on his face. When he saw Shen Lian, he bowed hurriedly and said, "I've seen Mr. Shen before."

Shen Lian looked at him with a gentle smile and said, "You don't have to be nervous. I just want to understand the situation and tell me what you know."

The man nodded quickly.

He said: "Xiaomin are farmers outside the city. They mainly grow vegetables and usually supply vegetables to this restaurant."

"Originally, according to past habits, there should be a waiter from the restaurant to pick up the food from me during Chenshi, but today they never came."

"I don't know if they forgot or if they were delayed by something, so I thought of delivering the food to them."

"But when I arrived at the restaurant, the door was closed and it looked as if it was not open. This aroused my doubts."

"Because it's almost noon and the restaurant must have been busy. There's no way it's not open yet."

"I just wanted to knock on the door and ask if something happened."

……………………

"Unexpectedly, as soon as I knocked on the door, I found that the door was unlocked. I pushed it lightly and it opened."

"Then I walked in and saw this scene in front of me."

"I was so frightened that I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly reported it to the official."
