Li Biao found him in the river outside the city. His face was blue and swollen after soaking all night, his eyes were wide open, and he could even see regret. There were two red fingerprints on his neck, which showed that he had been raped. People strangled to death.
"Who killed him again?"
Jiang Miao saw a dead person for the first time. She almost vomited when she saw the horrific corpse. Mrs. Wang and her son died one after another, and there was no clue about the murderer. Jiang Miao's heart sank and her mind went blank.
"Last night, the gatekeeper saw him leaving the city with the visitors. It was dark at that time, so he disguised himself as a servant and was not discovered. Today, my subordinates went to investigate. Someone noticed his lameness and found out that he had sneaked out. Subordinates I led people to chase him, but I didn't expect to find him in the river outside the city..."
Li Biao looked ugly. If they had noticed Wu Liang earlier, they might have been able to follow the clues and find the murderer behind him. However, Wu Liang usually disguised himself so well that they let their guard down. No one expected that he would be related to the murderer.
Shen Yanqing hugged Jiang Miao, covering her eyes with one hand to prevent her from seeing Wu Liang's miserable state, and tapping lightly on the table with the other hand. His face was serious, and his eyes were downcast. Li Biao As everyone waited with bated breath for his reply, their hearts became more and more panicked.
"Go and check who he has been in contact with in the past few days, where he has been, and who he wandered out of the city with yesterday. I want detailed information. If there are still mistakes this time, half a year's monthly salary will be deducted from each person!"
"Yes, my subordinate will go check it out now!"
Li Biao agreed. They were always a step too late to let the murderer escape. Shen Yanqing was really angry this time. For the safety of his wife, they had to catch the murderer as soon as possible.
Because of seeing the corpse, Jiang Miao was miserable all day. She vomited several times in the morning, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were chapped, and she lay sick in bed.
Mrs. Zhang visited her several times and brought her fish fillet porridge, but Jiang Miao had no appetite, and when she saw the fish fillets, she thought that Wu Liang was thrown into the river after his death. The fishy smell merged together, and Jiang Miao couldn't help but spit it out again.
"How can this be good? You already have injuries on your body. If you get sick again, the wounds will heal slowly and you won't be able to bear it..."
"Third brother, tell me what you think. You took Miaiya to see that thing. Many men were scared after seeing it. How could a little lady like Miaiya bear it?"
Mrs. Zhang was anxious and kept scolding Shen Yanqing. Shen Yanqing also regretted that he should not have taken her to see the dead body.
"Mom, I'm fine. Just take a rest. After all, it's related to my safety. I want to find out who wants my life!"
Jiang Miao felt that the murderer behind it was definitely not simple. In order to take her life, he would not hesitate to kill a mother and her son. Such a person was cruel and ruthless in his actions. Jiang Miao could not calm down after being targeted by him.
"Hey, I don't know who is so heartless. You know how difficult it is to be an official. It would be better not to enter the examination room in the first place and let the third child become a teacher, so as not to worry about it all day long."
Mrs. Zhang has a humble mentality, she would rather have a hard life but also want the family to be safe.
In fact, the same goes for Jiang Miao. She was an ordinary person in her past and present lives. The most dangerous thing she ever encountered was being robbed by a thief. But in the book, her life seemed to be held by a pair of big hands. She was afraid that she would be someone else's pen. The fate of these characters has been written long ago, and you have no control over it.
"Mom, I will definitely find out the murderer and protect Miaoya."
Shen Yanqing promised in a deep voice. He held Jiang Miao's hand, his expression was solemn as never before. If he couldn't protect his wife, what was the point of being an official?
"Well, I believe you."
Jiang Miao gently pulled her lips, and there was a little more color on her pale face. Whether she was cannon fodder or a female supporting role, it was always right to be by the hero's side. He was the proud son of heaven, and he had great luck. , as long as he does not seek death, he will be able to turn danger into safety safely.
Sun Hao and his servants left the city overnight. They hid behind the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because of the majesty of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they escaped censorship by the officers and soldiers. They only tried to deal with Wu Liang when they got outside the city.
This was the first time the young man killed someone. His hands were shaking like chaff. Sun Hao covered Wu Liang's mouth with his clothes. He was responsible for strangling his neck. The two of them killed a living person in a closed carriage, and then took advantage of the situation. The darkness of night throws people into the river.
After a series of actions, no other servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion noticed that anyone was missing.
"Master Sun, we won't be discovered, right?"
The young man was huddled in the carriage and shivering. There was a piece of clothing wrapped around his feet, which was the one used to cover him up. Wu Liang's breath still lingered on it. The young man was afraid and hurriedly used his feet to push him away. Kicked under the seat, out of sight but out of mind.
Seeing his timid appearance, Sun Hao sneered.
"What are you afraid of? We are just two untouchables. We have the Prime Minister's Mansion as our back. Even if Shen Yan finds out, there is nothing he can do to me. Not to mention that when we return to the capital, he will have to provide evidence if he wants to arrest us!"
He stayed in Zhenjiang Mansion for a few days, but his whereabouts were never exposed. Shen Yanqing would never think of him, and there was Liu Ruyan behind him.
Don't think that he doesn't know that Mrs. Liu wants to marry Shen Yanqing. If Shen Yanqing knows that Liu Ruyan harmed his wife, let alone marry her, it would be fine if he doesn't kill her.
Therefore, Sun Hao was confident. After taking care of Wu Liang, he felt no burden at all. He flopped down on the seat and fell asleep directly, leaving the boy trembling in fear. He always felt that there was a dark wind in the carriage and Wu Liang hadn't left yet.
"Sir, my subordinates checked Wu Liang's home and heard from his neighbor that a stranger did come to see him recently. It's just that the man was cautious and unobtrusive in his dress. His appearance was ordinary and hard to remember, but it's okay. Definitely not from Zhenjiang Prefecture."
Li Biao took the information he had found and reported it to Shen Yanqing.
"Where has he been lately?"
"Wu Liang can't work because of his lame leg. He usually stays at home and is supported by Mrs. Wang, and he doesn't like to go out. In addition to visiting the prison these days, some people saw him entering Fuyuan Inn..."
Fuyuan Inn is a place where guests who send gifts from all over the country stay. People in Zhenjiang Prefecture generally live in their own homes. No one goes to the inn. Moreover, Wu Liang's mobility is limited, which also rules out the possibility of him doing work for others, so the murderer must be are among these visitors.
Shen Yanqing figured out the key points and straightened up slightly.
"Have you checked the people he contacted in the inn?"
"After checking, the waiter of the inn told my subordinate that the floor where Wu Liang often went was occupied by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because he was lame, the waiter noticed him especially, but the guest in the room he entered was He never showed up and only let one boy come out to do things."
Li Biao looked embarrassed. He checked for a long time but found nothing.
"But the waiter at the inn provided a clue. The guest inside was named Sun, and the waiter called him Master Sun..."
