When Qianyu and Laoshi Monk first came to the City of Shadows, they were both full of confidence and confident that they could solve the disappearance case. As the case has developed so far, there are a total of three vicious cases with more than fifty people missing. The only one they solved was
The case is a love murder case, and the person who solved it is Zhao Yangtian. The case of the little girl’s disappearance has not been solved so far, and it has become an unsolved case. In the end, the case ended due to Lan Zhen’s suicide and self-exposure. Qianyu and Lao Shishang are like two outsiders. The cracking of the case has nothing to do with it.
They have no relationship at all, which greatly affects their self-confidence.
What makes Qianyu feel strange is why Lan Zhen committed suicide? No one found any clues at all. If he had not committed suicide, no one would have put the title of murderer on Lan Zhen. When he committed suicide
The suicide note left behind is also full of doubts and is really unconvincing.
For some reason, Zhao Rushun always appeared in his mind, and he always felt that all cases were related to Zhao Rushun, but he had no evidence and was just guessing.
Even the honest monk found it strange, "What does the donor want Zhao Ruxun to do?"
"Discuss the case."
"The truth of the case has been revealed and the murderer has been arrested. There is no need to discuss it."
"I don't think Lan Zhen is the real murderer." Qianyu said firmly, "There is someone else who is the real murderer."
"Donor thinks Zhao Ruxun knows the real murderer?"
"No, I think Zhao Ruxun is the real murderer."
The honest monk was stunned for a while, then smiled and said: "Donor, you have been tortured by the case recently and have mental problems. It's not like you don't know Zhao Ruxun's status and reputation in the City of Divine Shadows. He can never be the murderer."
"Dead monk, didn't you say that you can't just look at people by their appearance? The real bad people are never shown on the outside, but are bad from the heart. I think Zhao Ruxun is such a person." Qian Yu said with
To refute what the honest monk said, the honest monk was speechless. After a while, he persuaded again: "Donor, with Zhao Ruxun's identity and status, why did he kill people? What was his purpose of killing? Your evidence
What is it again?"
"I just doubt him. I haven't found any evidence yet." Qianyu told the truth. He went to Zhao Rushun this time to get some information from Zhao Rushun to see if Zhao Rushun would reveal his flaws.
"Oh, donor, you are already confused." The honest monk sighed and stopped trying to persuade him. He asked again: "Does the donor know where Zhao Ruxun lives?"
Qianyu paused. Yes, he didn't even know Zhao Ruxun's address. Where could he find Zhao Ruxun?
"Donor, you are really lucky. Look there..." Following the direction of the honest monk's finger, Qianyu looked at the crowd in front of him. There was already a long queue there. The people in the queue were rich and poor, male and female.
There were people of all ages, but there were only two people sitting at the front of the team. One of them was wearing plain white clothes, and behind him was a gray-haired servant. Aren't these Zhao Ruxun and Hu Haonian?
What are they doing?
Zhao Ruxun put a small alchemy cauldron on the table and refined the medicine in public. As a fifth-grade spirit gathering master, his spirit gathering skills had reached its peak. He waved his fingers casually, and those who were refined were
The medicinal juices rotated to form special patterns. Hu Haonian took out the talisman paper that he had prepared and handed it to Zhao Ruxun. Zhao Ruxun waved his big hand, and the patterns fell onto the paper, forming spiritual seals one by one.
He put the spiritual seals on the injured arms of the old man at the front. In about a cup of tea, the old man's injuries were healed. The old man was overjoyed and excitedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Ruxun: "Great good man,
You are truly the reincarnation of a living Buddha and a contemporary saint!"
"Old man, get up quickly. You must not do anything..." Zhao Rushun hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "Ruxun is just doing his duty. There is no need for you to be polite, please go back quickly."
The old man thanked him profusely and left happily.
Monk Lao Shi and Qian Yu, who witnessed this scene, had their own thoughts. Monk Lao Shi nodded in approval and said: "Although I have converted to Buddhism, my character is not one ten thousandth of that of Almsgiver Zhao. I am ashamed, I am ashamed..."
"I think he's disguising himself."
"Alas, donor, you are hopeless." The honest monk shook his head helplessly, "Seeing is believing. Don't you believe it even if you see it with your own eyes?"
"Seeing is not necessarily believing. Our eyes can sometimes deceive us." Qianyu retorted, "There are still forty or fifty people there. It will probably take an hour or two. Let's go have something to eat first and come back later.
.”
"That's what I meant." When the honest monk heard about the food, he smiled happily and went to eat with Qianyu.
Two hours later, the sky turned dark. Qianyu and Monk Laoshi came here. Zhao Rushun and Hu Haonian were closing their stalls. Seeing the two of them, Zhao Ruxun said: "Little friend Qianyu? Master? Long time no see.
How have you been?"
"Everything is well, I would like to thank Donor Zhao for my thoughts." The honest monk clasped his hands together, looking like a master.
Qianyu just nodded lightly and went straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao, you must have heard about the disappearance case in the City of Shadows, right?"
Zhao Ruxun nodded and said, "The case was closed yesterday. Why did little friend Qianyu say this?"
"This junior is stupid. Although the case is over, there are still many doubts that cannot be solved. I have heard that Mr. Zhao is quick in writing and has great talents, so I came here to ask for advice." Qianyu cupped his hands and said.
"Haha, thank you." Zhao Ruxun said with a smile, "Qianyu, if you have any questions, please tell me."
"The last disappearance case spanned a year and a half. The City Lord's Mansion did not find any clues during this process. As the murderer, why did Lan Zhen take the initiative to expose it?"
"Perhaps Lan Zhen's conscience discovered that he had sinned deeply and felt ashamed, so he committed suicide out of fear of the crime." Zhao Ruxun's speculation obviously did not solve Qianyu's doubts.
Qianyu continued to ask: "If conscience found out, why didn't he find out earlier and later, but only after killing thirty-two people? Does thirty-two mean something?"
"This..." Zhao Ruxun frowned. He couldn't answer this question. "I heard that little friend Qianyu also participated in solving the case. What do you think?"
This question left Qianyu speechless. If he could figure it out, he wouldn't come to Zhao Ruxun. His mind turned quickly and he immediately explained: "I have found some clues. Since there is no conclusive evidence,
evidence, so it is not convenient to disclose it.”
There was no problem with this answer, and Zhao Ruxun said no more. However, Qianyu still had questions to ask: "In the Lanzhen case, the men and women who were killed disappeared in a closed environment, and they could hear when they disappeared.
He heard the sound of the flute, but no one has seen the murderer, and the criminal methods are very troublesome."
Zhao Ruxun thought for a while and tried to explain: "Youmeng powder was found in Lan Zhen's house. Youmeng powder has strong hallucinogenic properties. I think Lan Zhen used Youmeng powder to confuse the guards and the people in the room.
When they are unconscious, they can easily take away the people in the room. Because the guards have inhaled Youmeng powder and are in hallucinations, they will mistakenly think that they have been guarding the door all night. As for the sound of the flute, it may be
A special hobby of Lan Zhen, or maybe it’s just a tool for him to gain sway from the east to the west.”
"Donor Zhao is truly a god!" the honest monk praised. After Zhao Ruxun's explanation, the disappearance case in a closed environment was easily solved.
Qianyu felt that Zhao Ruxun was more suspicious. How could he know the murderer's crime process? Even if it was just a guess, the guess was too accurate.
"Haha, Master is over-praised. It's just some random thoughts and cannot be taken seriously." Zhao Ruxun was very polite.
"Where does Mr. Zhao usually live?" Qianyu asked.
"The young master is free and easy by nature and has no fixed residence. There are seven properties in the city and he changes his residence from time to time," Hu Haonian said.
"Little friend Qianyu, do you want to sit in my house?"
"If I have the opportunity some other time, I will definitely go and visit." Qianyu politely declined. "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for clearing up my doubts today. I'll see you later."
"Goodbye." After saying that, Zhao Ruxun and Hu Haonian disappeared into the night. Qianyu and Monk Lao Shi also returned to the inn.
In a luxurious mansion in the city.
This is a room located underground. There are two rooms in total. The room is full of strange herbs. In the middle of the left room is a bed made of black ice. Lying on the bed is a woman with a complexion of skin.
She is pale, her hair is pulled up into a bun, and her appearance is delicate. Even though she is lying down, her graceful figure can be vaguely seen. The strange thing is that she is wearing a bright red bridal outfit that she only wears when she gets married, which looks a bit weird.
I don’t know how long it took, a man came in, sat next to the ice bed, held the woman’s cold and pale hand, and said with an expression: “Yier, I met a mysterious man a few days ago. He has a secret method.
, not only can people be resurrected from the dead, but also can live forever! I have made an agreement with him to explore the feasibility of this secret method in the past few days. As long as it succeeds, you can be resurrected and stay with me forever."
This man is none other than Zhao Ruxun, a well-known good man in the City of Divine Shadows! And the woman lying on the ice bed is his fiancée who has been dead for many years!
"Master, that little guy Qianyu seems to have discovered something. Do you need me to take action?" Hu Haonian appeared at the door like a ghost, but Zhao Ruxun was not surprised at all.
Zhao Ruxun looked at the woman's face affectionately and ordered: "Originally, I wanted to keep him alive. In order for the plan to be implemented perfectly, all those who stand in the way need to be completely eliminated. I'll leave it to you to do it cleanly."
Please don’t let anyone doubt me.”
"Yes." Hu Haonian retreated quietly. At this moment, the woman who had been dead for a long time slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of blood-colored pupils!
