Coincidentally, Master Jijiu was there, and Wei Zi was also there.
They were all old acquaintances anyway, so Luo Helin drank two large bowls of water without ceremony, extinguishing the fire in his throat, and then briefly explained the next two cases.
"The King of Xiang said that he would give an explanation within three days, but now half of the time has passed, and there are still no clues." Luo Helin was extremely melancholy.
The Master Jijiu gave an unceremonious "hum" and asked, "Is your Dali Temple under the control of the King of Xiang now?"
Luo Helin was stunned, as if he was enlightened, and couldn't help but pat his thigh.
That’s right! Their Dali Temple is under the control of the emperor, and they are acting under the emperor’s orders!
The emperor did not ask them to conclude the case within three days. It is true that "the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear".
Luo Helin saluted the Lord Jijiu: "Thank you, Lord, for what you said. Thank you very much for your advice."
Wei Zi directly grasped one thing in common among the four cases: "Feng Jiachi, Sun He, Rongan County Lord, and Feng Jiaxuan are all young people between the ages of fifteen and thirty."
Luo Helin nodded: "That's true."
Wei Zi continued: "This is especially obvious in the third case. At that time, County Lord Rongan and Princess Jingde took a nap together. As a result, something happened to County Lord Rongan, but not Princess Jingde. According to what we guessed earlier, the murderer
They are targeting people from the royal family, or in other words, they want the souls of the Feng clan, so what is the difference between the souls of young people and old people?"
Lord Jijiu stroked his beard and nodded: "That's a good question."
Luo Helin also fell into deep thought. Indeed, if the soul is taken away, is it possible that there are still old and young people?
There is a difference between the physical body and the old and the weak, but the soul should not be there... No, could it be——
He looked at Wei Zi in shock.
Wei Zi nodded to him: "Maybe we guessed wrong earlier. What the murderer wants is not the soul, but the young body, or the essence and blood of the body."
Lord Jijiu also had an expression of sudden realization, and he added: "This also explains why Feng Yuanwailang's body turned into a mummy."
Luo Helin quickly organized his thoughts:
Who needs young flesh and blood?
In story-telling novels, there are usually monsters who take on human nature, as well as people who are seriously ill.
Monsters...can't be completely ruled out, but at least there is no evidence now.
Excluding monsters, it means a seriously ill person who needs blood and essence to survive.
If this is the motive for the murder, then he must quickly follow this line of thinking to investigate!
"Thank you both for your advice. I'll take my leave now." Luo Helin almost ran out of the Imperial Academy.

At the same time, Zhang En also got new clues.
Feng Jiaxuan, the grandson of the King of Xiang, had high hopes. He had the habit of Longyang and never touched women, but he would go to the Nanfeng Pavilion to find a young man.
Feng Jiaxuan took the initiative to make friends with Nanming after he was the number one scholar in Nanming High School.
Zhang En had to assume that it was a love affair.
Nanming is now engaged to Princess Changle of Prince Yan's palace. If there is anything between him and Feng Jiaxuan, it is to kill someone to silence him. If Feng Jiashui is entangled with him, then he also has enough motive to kill.
This clue had just begun, and the police came to report that it was the Sun He case more than half a month ago, and they had found new clues.
