No. 20 Unknowing Spring 7

  Unaware of Spring (7)

  "The case has not been solved yet, I don't feel at ease leaving you here alone."

  Nie Qiuyuan leaned against the doorframe, looking at me who had just finished dressing up. "Father left suddenly, you are his deepest concern in this world, I must take good care of you."

  Suddenly a wave of emotion surged up in my heart. You are indeed a person who values relationships and is worthy of the deep affection I have for you!

  What Nie Qiu Yuan told me on the road made me feel astonished at Luo Da Chun's ability once again, because the answer sheet he handed in contained almost all the information that needed to be collected manually.

  What I heard about the case of Guan Sheng is true. It's the third hanging murder in our county of Shuibo within a month. The other two victims were also men, not much different in age from Vice-President Guan. One was Wu Xingwang, the 31-year-old boss of Yicunjin Casino in the county seat. The other was Yue Yunqi, the 32-year-old deputy general manager of Yangwei Express, our competitor on Bowl Mountain.

  These two people both died in the dead of night on their own beds, with ropes tied around their necks, just like in the Guan Sheng case, the ropes were tied to furniture nearby, and the cause of death for both was asphyxiation, indeed they were both strangled.

  "I asked Dachun to investigate and found out that when the two were discovered, they were both wearing clothes. However, after Dachun asked the deceased's family members some indirect questions, he found out that Wu Xingwang's body was actually ** when it was discovered. It was just that the family members thought it would damage the deceased's reputation, so they put clothes on him." Nie Qiuyuan said slowly.

  When I heard him ask Luo Dachun to investigate this matter, I understood that it was the words of Master Yuye that had brought this about. It's also unknown what kind of method Master Yuye used to convey these things to Nie Qiuyuan, in short, very accurate, a talented person.

  The facts that have been verified further confirm my inference. However, Shen Hongyan, if she is the murderer, why would she use such a method to kill these three people?

  "These three people seem to have nothing in common and no connection on the surface. However, Da Chun has his ways, I asked him to investigate the relationship between these three people, and he soon discovered that they actually shared a common past."

  I listened with rapt attention. This line of thinking is naturally very good. Now that we have a suspect, but are troubled by the lack of evidence. If we can start from the connections between these people and find the suspect's motive, it will be easy to prescribe the right medicine.

  Everything started ten years ago. Ten years ago, in Shanxi's Jin Yang, there was a famous gang called the Red Gang. At that time, it was during Emperor Sui's tyrannical rule and frequent uprisings. The Red Gang was actually a group of refugees who were forced to flee their homes due to the brutal government, a genuine rebel organization.

  The Red Gang was not small at that time, and the five most famous people in the gang were just young and vigorous. Among these five people, there were exactly three victims of the triple murder case - Guan Sheng, Wu Xingwang and Yue Yunqi.

  Hong Bang, this is no coincidence. From this information, the possibility of revenge killing is very high. My heart moved: "The five most famous people, what about the other two?"

  Guan Sheng, Wu Xingwang and Yue Yunqi were famous for their excellent martial arts skills. The other two were a man and a woman. The man's name was Liu Suiyi, who was said to be handsome and not only had high martial arts skills but also had great strategic thinking. As for the woman, her name was unknown, but she was known as Hong Ji (Red Beauty). Hong Ji didn't know any martial arts at all; she was famous for her beauty and piano skills.

  Hong Ji, so suspicious. So to say, is this woman, the one who killed her old acquaintance? Then, Liu Si Rui, will he be the next victim?

  Nie Qiuyuan seemed to have seen through my thoughts and said at the right moment: "These five people seem to have been in a good relationship originally, but ten years ago, Liu Si Rui suddenly disappeared and there was no news from then on. Not long after he disappeared, the Red Gang disbanded, and everyone went their separate ways."

  His good-looking eyes stared at me quietly: "Some people also say that the Red Scarf Army actually surrendered to Emperor Taizong of Qin, Li Shimin. That year, he happened to follow his father to take office in Jinyang."

  Ten years ago, in 616 AD, Li Yuan was appointed as the Jinyang Prefect, and Li Shimin followed him to Taiyuan, while his brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Zhiyun stayed in their ancestral home of Hedong. In 617 AD, Li Shimin instigated Li Yuan to raise an army against the Sui Dynasty, which is known as the Jinyang Uprising. It's possible that Hong'er was used by Li Shimin.

  But what does this have to do with the strangulation case?

  It sounds like a man vanished into thin air, and a woman killed the three people closest to her ten years later. No matter how you look at it, it seems like she's avenging her lover!

  Perhaps Shen Hongyan is the Red Maiden, and Liu Suiyi was her lover at that time. It's very likely that after ten years of investigation, she finally discovered that her missing lover was murdered by their three friends back then, so in the end, she devised a way to kill them and take revenge?

  I lifted my head and suddenly met Nie Qiuyuan's gaze. I was startled, darn it, I had been too absorbed in my thoughts just now, I didn't know if I had revealed anything! What was that feeling just now? His words were also too perceptive, right? It was as if he knew what I was thinking of every step of the way!

  Exposed!

  "Would you be unwilling to hear these things? For a girl, these are too violent and bloody. After all, you're not the same as before." Nie Qiuyuan said quietly, "I'm just afraid that you'll feel a bit stifled on the road."

  It turns out it was like this.

  I softly replied to him in a low voice: "These sound a bit frightening, but with brother here, I'm not afraid anymore. Liuxuan, also wants to help brother share his worries and troubles."

  I feel that the male god's breath is a bit stifled, as if he is desperately holding back something. Perhaps, he has also started to be moved a little.

  Don't be so self-righteous, okay? I'm trying to hold back my laughter, okay? I reckon it's already an internal injury...

  Wait! He said that this time going down the mountain is to see someone. All the people we investigated who were related have died out, so who are we going to see now?

  Nie Qiuyuan said: "In addition to the above, Da Chun also discovered a strange thing. These three deceased people seemed to have no connection with each other, but recently they all frequently entered and exited the same location, a tea shop that just opened this year in our county, called..."

  Unknowing Spring Hall

  Strangulation, eroticism, unaware of spring, I'm getting a bit confused now.

  According to

  It is said that the boss of Chun Tang, surnamed Liu. I don't know if it's my illusion, but in Nie Qiuyuan's tone, there seems to be a slightly strange flavor, as if he is looking at me with a mixture of confusion and schadenfreude.

  It must be my illusion, this is not Ye Qiu Yuan's way of doing things, if it were Young Master Yu Ye, it would be more like it.

  Just then, surname Liu? Liu Si Rui? Then my previous inference, isn't it completely nonsense?

  Don't know spring, then, Mu Gongzi, is also involved in it?

  I went to ask Brother Zi Long, but he wouldn't tell me where the spring came from. Nie Qiuyuan paused for a moment, "However, no matter what I did, he refused to tell me."

  It's getting more and more chaotic.

  I have a premonition, Firefly; My male god is slightly distracted, his eyes are like the bright stars in the sky; The key to solving this riddle lies on Liu's boss himself.

  Author's Pulitzer

  "Si Lin Yu Zheng brothers wrote in the long review: "Bowl Mountain, what a ordinary name, because of the author's meticulous arrangement of this group of people, it has spirit, it has stories, I estimate that soon the Datang Evening News will have its report!"

  "Hmm, this 'Great Tang Chang'an Evening News' has really piqued the author's interest! Think about it, a mysterious Great Tang and a fantastical Chang'an - how could they not have a street newspaper to sensationalize and propagandize?
