Datang: Li Shimin eavesdropped on my heart

Chapter 160 Finally Determined the Origins of the Eighteen Female Corpses

Li Kuan spent half a day examining the corpse in the morgue.

In the end, he found no useful clues.

The conclusion he came to was not much different from the file that Li Shimin had shown him in the imperial study at that time.

They all died of being bled out by the murderer.

Generally, girls are killed by murderers, and in most cases there are only two points.

The first point is Jie Se, who was eventually killed.

The second point is love killing.

Li Kuan can be sure that the first point of robbery was dismissed by him.

Because the [-] deceased women were all virgins and had not been broken at all.

The second point of killing love is hard to say about Li Kuan.

I want to find out if they are all love murderers.

The only way is to find their respective family members, and then investigate one by one.

however.

Based on Li Kuan's experience of watching hundreds of episodes of "Detective Conan".

The second point of killing love is very likely not to be true.

If love kills, then there are eighteen girls here!

And were buried together at the same time.

This is not reasonable at all!

That's why Li Kuan said that the second point of love killing is also impossible.

……

Outside the morgue.

The two criminal arresters, Zhang San and Li Si, were squatting by the door, soundly asleep.

Li Kuan walked out of the morgue.

He was not angry when he saw the two sleeping.

"Wake up, you two, get up for me."

Xiao Feiliu saw the two guys sleeping on the ground, but they couldn't get up.

Angrily, he flew up two feet and kicked them both.

Zhang San and Li Si screamed.

Just when he was about to curse that it was the blind boy who dared to kick them, he looked up and saw Li Kuan.

The two quickly knelt down towards Li Kuan, and kowtowed their heads in fear.

begged for mercy.

"Hall of King Chu... Your Highness..."

"Forgive me! We, we..."

"okay."

"You two get up quickly!"

"In front of this king, don't just kneel down."

When Zhang San and Li Si heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the Highness in front of him is so easy to talk.

If it was replaced by other princes, I'm afraid their lives will be lost now!
After Zhang San and Li Si got up from the ground.

Li Kuan looked at them twice and asked, "Has your Criminal Investigation Department found any family members or relatives of the eighteen corpses?"

"His Royal Highness, after the Ministry of Industry reports the case to our criminal arrest department."

"Our chief officer, after ordering someone to put the body in the morgue."

"He immediately ordered us to post family members or relatives who were looking for the dead body across the city."

"But the strange thing is..."

"So far, three days have passed."

"No one came to our Criminal Investigation Department to claim the body."

Just after Zhang San's answer, Li Si answered the question and added: "Our Chief Secretary asked the city lord to ask Tiger Department for help."

"At every entrance and exit of Chang'an City, there were portraits of eighteen female corpses, and people who entered the city were interrogated one by one."

"Still no family members or relatives of the [-] corpses have been found."

Hear Zhang San and Li Si's answers.

Li Kuan fell into deep thought.

"Let's get out of here first!"

Zhang San asked: "Then His Royal Highness, where are we going now?"

Li Kuan thought for a while and said, "Go back to your Criminal Division!"

"The king thought of something related to the case just now, and was about to discuss it with your Director Wang."

Li Kuan fell silent.

He took the first step and walked forward.

Zhang San hurriedly pulled the carriage parked aside.

Li Kuan and Xiao Feiliu got into the carriage.

And Zhang San and Li Si, two criminal arresters, sat on the groom's seat.

……

Shortly after.

Inside the inner hall of the criminal arrest department.

Li Kuan and Director Wang Anda discussed the case while drinking tea.

And Xiao Feiliu was sitting on another table, staring at a kitten sullenly.

"correct."

"Director Wang, I heard that you haven't found any family members or relatives of the eighteen female corpses, have you?"

"That's right!"

"His Royal Highness Chu, do you think this is strange? We have been looking for it for three days."

"No one came to claim the corpse. Could it be that they are all orphans without parents?"

Li Kuan heard Wang Anda's words, and did not express his opinion immediately.

Instead, he pondered again for a while.

Then he said: "Director Wang, the eighteen female victims are not orphans."

"That's not hard to guess."

"It can be seen from their clothes."

"Although they were buried in the ground, it has been some time."

"The clothes are already..."

"However, I still found something in the morgue before."

"This king discovered that the fabrics of the clothes they were wearing were all from the fabrics produced in the south of the Yangtze River."

"And this king also discovered that each of them wears this kind of anklet on their feet."

"..."

I heard Li Kuan say this.

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in Wang Anda's mind.

"His Royal Highness Chu, are you saying...could it be...they are not from the Great Wall, so we haven't found their family members or relatives in the past three days?"

"That's right!"

"This king has exactly this intention."

"I didn't expect Director Wang to be transparent at all."

"correct."

Wang Anda continued, "Before the New Deal of the Tang Dynasty."

"My brother Wang Qinian is the governor of Jiangnan."

"Why don't you, Your Highness, let's ask my brother?"

"I think I heard my brother talk about this one wearing an anklet."

"This seems to be a custom in Jiangnan, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time."

"At that time, my brother and I were drinking and chatting with friends at the wine table, and my brother just mentioned this sentence."

"Row!"

Li Kuan agreed to Wang Anda, he stood up, looked at Xiao Feiliu and said softly, "Feiliu, let's go!"

"Oh!"

So Xiao Feiliu jumped in front of Li Kuan, and walked towards the door first...

soon.

Xiao Feiliu, Li Kuan, Wang Anda.

Came to the City Lord's Mansion in Chang'an City.

After the three met Wang Qi, they didn't stay long.

Li Kuan took out the anklet from his hand.

After listening to Wang Qinian's narration, the three left the City Lord's Mansion quickly.

Come out from the city lord's mansion.

Li Kuan and Wang Anda looked at each other.

The two finally dared to confirm their previous guess.

The eighteen girls who were murdered were not from Chang'an at all, but from Jiangnan.

Jiangnan is a good place for Datang Fu's riches!
Chang'an is at the foot of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and has the greatest power.

And Jiangnan is the wealth capital of Datang, with the most money.

In a small place in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a custom.

For girls who have not left the court to marry, it starts from the age of six.

The family will customize a kind of anklet for the girl to wear.

The anklet will not be taken off until the girl is married.

The removed anklets are reserved for future married daughters.

later.

I don't know what year it started.

This kind of Xigu from a small place has become popular in the wealthy circles of the entire Jiangnan.

All the young ladies who have not left the court will wear such an anklet since childhood.

It was determined that the eighteen girls who were killed were all from Jiangnan.

So Li Kuan planned to leave Jiangnan tomorrow.
