The lord of Huayin City is named Meng Yuanhai. His ancestors, like the Li Muhong family, were generals who followed Taizu to conquer the country. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was named the lord of Huayin City.
The original Huayin City was also a small town, not much different from Qingyue City.
However, the Meng family relied on their own ingenuity to build Huayin City into the largest scenic city in Hanling Kingdom. It became famous and attracted tourists from the entire country, and it became the second richest city in Hanling Kingdom (No.
One, of course, is Beijing).
The Meng family has been passed down to Meng Yuanhai for seventeen generations, but the Li family in Qingyue City has only reached the fifteenth generation. According to seniority, Li Muhong is still Meng Yuanhai's uncle.
As soon as Meng Yuanhai walked into the small courtyard, everyone immediately felt an aura of wealth and wealth.
The guy was clearly in his fifties, but his face looked like he was in his thirties. He looked mature, but his figure was extremely tall and bloated, and he looked like a big mountain.
Wearing a silk shirt and carrying two jasper finger rings on his hands, the weirdest thing is that he even wears a golden lock of longevity that only children wear around his neck.
The moment she saw Meng Yuanhai, Lu Xiaoyue suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling. Not only was she visually uncomfortable, but she was also a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"Are you Lu Xiaoyue, the owner of the hall?" As soon as he walked in, he saw Lu Xiaoyue in the middle of the yard and quickly walked up to greet her.
"Yes, that's right! Who are you?" Lu Xiaoyue wrinkled and greeted politely.
At this moment, a person suddenly stood up behind Lu Xiaoyue, it was Li Muhong.
"He is Meng Yuanhai, the lord of Huayin City, right, little nephew?" After Li Muhong finished speaking, she winked at Meng Yuanhai.
Meng Yuanhai's expression changed instantly, and he glared at Li Muhong fiercely, as if he wanted to eat someone.
After a while, he quickly regained his composure and laughed loudly: "That's right, I'm right down there!"
After saying that, he actually turned around, bowed to Li Muhong, and said, "My nephew Meng Yuanhai has met Uncle Li!"
"Well, no courtesy!" Li Muhong nodded lightly, then smiled at Lu Xiaoyue and said: "Master, you see he is the master of Huayin City."
For the owner of Huayin City to pay tribute to an outsider, this is a great insult to the people in the city lord's palace.
But the city lord Meng Yuanhai had no temper at all and complied with a smile.
Just because...the other party is the Li family of Qingyue City!
Li Muhong's words made Lu Xiaoyue a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Well, I understand. Now that City Lord Meng has arrived, let's get down to business."
"That's right, those red tapes will be dispensed with. It's more important to talk about business!" The shopkeeper of Baixiaolou quickly stood up and agreed.
The master had spoken, and Li Muhong had no choice but to stand back obediently, hiding behind Lu Xiaoyue and looking at Meng Yuanhai's face, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lu Xiaoyue cleared her throat and began to announce the results of her investigation over the past few days.
"First of all, what I want to say is that these puppets are the culprits of the Xiaoyuan murder case. They directly caused this murder! However, they are not the masterminds behind the scenes. The real masterminds behind the scenes are others, but they have been
We have eliminated it and there is no need to discuss it too much."
"Secondly, these puppets were not only involved in the murders in the courtyard, they were also the main culprits in the disappearance of a large number of tourists in Huayin City this year, especially young women. Almost all of them suffered at their murderous hands."
"Third point, they are now under my control, but I will never want these things that have killed so many lives, so I plan to destroy them on the spot after announcing this!"
After speaking at three o'clock, everyone present fell silent for a while.
Meng Yuanhai and the shopkeeper of Baixiaolou all stared closely at the puppet standing in the corner with complicated expressions.
After a while, Meng Yuanhai was the first to speak: "Master Lu, you said they were directly involved in the Xiaoyuan murder case. Is there any evidence?"
"Of course!" Lu Xiaoyue nodded, and then waved to the crowd behind her.
Mu Yunyan quickly stood up and began to talk about what she had experienced in Huayin City a few months ago.
After telling the story, before everyone could recover, Lu Xiaoyue waved to the corner again, and one of the mountain puppets walked over quickly.
"Is it him?" Lu Xiaoyue asked Mu Yunyan.
"That's right! It's the homeowner!" Mu Yunyan replied firmly: "If you don't believe it, you can take a look at his right hand. It was chopped off by Qin Xiao!"
When everyone heard the words and looked around, they saw that the puppet's right hand was completely missing.
Now everyone was finally convinced.
"Speak!" Lu Xiaoyue gave an order to the mountain-driving puppet, and then added: "Tell me exactly how you killed the tenants in the courtyard!"
The mountain puppet nodded and began to tell the story of the entire murder case in the small courtyard.
The whole process was similar to Mu Yunyan's story, except that the victim did not come to Huayin City to collect medicine, but to find a very rare insect, which I heard was only found in Huayin City.
The way the Mountain Puppet dealt with her was also very simple, almost exactly the same as what Mu Yunyan had done at the beginning.
From the told location, she fell accidentally, broke her legs, and then became bedridden. Then she was smeared with mysterious elixirs and wrapped in white cloth.
However, this victim was not as lucky as Mu Yunyan to meet Lu Xiaoyue and his party.
She died the day after she was wrapped in a cloth, and the ritual soon turned into a "haunting of the soul."
At that time, the mountain puppets were planning to take her back, but unexpectedly they met Qin Xiao and Mu Yunyan. As a result, they took action and attracted the guards from Huayin City.
The failure of the Coushan Puppet brought the whole matter to the surface, and also led Lu Xiaoyue and the others to intervene in the matter.
After listening to the story of the mountain puppet, everyone present took a deep breath.
None of them thought that a simple murder case would involve so many things.
These puppets appear to be real people, but their behavior, intelligence and intelligence are just like real people!
If Lu Xiaoyue hadn't emphasized it several times and Meng Yuanhai had touched it a few times himself, he wouldn't have believed they were made of stone.
"Then... what is their purpose for doing this?" The shopkeeper was very confused at this time.
Why do these puppets kill a person in such a complicated way?
He looked back at the corner. There were five identical puppets there. They must have done similar things.
Calculating it this way, wouldn’t there be quite a lot of victims?
"The purpose... I can't say!" Lu Xiaoyue slowly shook her head and said, "You don't need to know the mastermind behind it! You just need to know one thing. After these puppets are destroyed, similar murder cases will never happen again.
