Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

When Fu Kang'an and his team arrived, the coroner had just finished the examination.

The result was the same as before, the victims were all killed with one knife, and this time they also found a stick of incense at the scene.

This also explains why Mei Niang heard nothing.

Fukang'an and Duolong Hailancha looked at each other.

When they returned to the inn, He Xi asked about the progress, but in fact he rarely mentioned this matter.

On the contrary, He Xi was quite interested.

"Yao Lin, what happened? Have you found anything?" He Xi was previously worried about Jiang Mo's affairs and did not pay too much attention to this case.

Fukangan shook his head subconsciously.

"It's okay, Princess, you don't have to worry."

He Xi glanced at Fu Kang'an coquettishly. She was not a child anymore, so how could she be frightened so easily?

At Hexi's repeated request, Fukang'an gave some details.

"There are now four people dead in total, including today's death."

"One is Mr. Yu, the owner of the cloth shop in town, one is the eldest son of the Huang family in town, one is Magistrate Zhang of Liutang Town, and the last one is Sun Yaowu, the second young master of the Sun family who was found today."

"They all have one thing in common: the murderer's methods are very cruel, and the bodies are not intact."

Fu Kang'an didn't want to describe the story in detail, for fear of scaring Hexi.

He Xi, on the other hand, was enjoying the meal with gusto. After all, the modern He Xi was the kind of person who would watch horror movies while eating.

Don’t ask, just ask what’s good to eat.

This level is just child's play.

He Xi always felt that there must be some connection here.

"Do they have any intersection?"

Fu Kang'an knew what He Xi was thinking, but unfortunately, he checked it out immediately and found that these people had very little in common.

There has been almost no interaction between us in recent years. If there was any, it was just that we were in the same town.

He Xi stroked his chin. No, there must be some connection here.

It would not make sense to say that the murderer was killing people randomly, because He Xi noticed that all the dead were people with bad reputations.

"No, Yaolin, I always feel that the murderer killed with a purpose, as if..." He Xi's feeling became more and more obvious, and it seemed that he was about to burst out, "Revenge!"

He Xi exclaimed in a low voice, and Fu Kang'an also thought of this possibility.

"Yao Lin, I think we can extend the timeline a bit," He Xi suggested.

Fu Kang'an nodded with deep concern. He Xi was truly his treasure. When he was confused or in difficult times, He Xi could always give him guidance.

Under Fukang'an's sticky gaze, Hexi actually felt a little shy for the first time.

It's a bit ridiculous. They are an old couple, but they still feel blushing and their hearts are beating fast.

Fu Kang'an immediately went to tell Duolong and others about this guess.

They had previously thought it was a vendetta, but after some investigation, they found that these people did not have much in common.

What if it was many years ago?

Following this clue, I actually found something.

When the Sun family learned that Sun Yaowu had died, they did not seem surprised or shocked.

Faced with inquiries from Fukang'an and others, he unexpectedly remained silent.

The other three families seemed to be much more cooperative in guarding against the Sun family.

But there is not much information to provide.

Just then, a person came to the door on his own initiative.

To be precise, they come here to seek shelter and save their lives.

The visitor was a wealthy man in the town, his surname was Dong.

Dong Tianyu is the only child in the Dong family. When he was young, he was a naughty boy and often played around with his bad friends.

Suddenly one day he came back, turned over a new leaf, and cut off contact with his previous friends.

Many years passed, Dong Tianyu got married and had children.

Just when he was about to forget, a series of murders sounded the alarm for him.

Because he knew all the dead people, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence, but those people were all involved in the incident.

This morning, he heard that another person had passed away in Chunxianglou, and he completely collapsed because he was the only one left.

I feel like I'm going to die at any moment.

The strong feeling of uneasiness and fear made him unbearable any longer.

After inquiring, he learned that the imperial court had actually sent people to investigate the matter.

So he came to the door on his own initiative, but he couldn't care less, he didn't want to die yet.

Dong Tianyu knew everything about that past event, because he also realized that the only connection between these people was that incident.

"In the end what happened?"

"..." Dong Tianyu was silent for a long time, as if he couldn't speak, "I went there with you and played with them back then."

"They were having a lot of fun and had their eyes set on a girl. She was the daughter of the Meng family in the east part of the city."

Dong Tianyu did not talk about the details of what happened later. He said that the girl died because of this incident, and her parents wanted to seek justice but were powerless.

After that, Sun Yaowu's family stepped in to settle the matter.

The man of the family, who was also the girl's father, was beaten in public because he reported the case. After he returned home, his wound became inflamed and he passed away after a few days.

The girl's mother was so sad that she became depressed and died soon after a few years.

This matter has also become a taboo for them.

They had done much more bad things than these, but the chain reaction this time really scared them.

"After that, I no longer followed them." Dong Tianyu was still frightened, but at the same time he was also full of uneasiness.

Fukang'an sneered. Dong Tianyu had tried his best to evade the main issue or shirk responsibility with words, but he could still see their ugly faces.

He seemed to think that this outcome was not surprising, or even gratifying.

"Sir, I've told you everything. Can you please save me? I don't want to die."

"Don't want to die? Did you leave a way out for that girl back then?"

Dong Tianyu's movements froze, but his strong desire to survive made him abandon everything.

As long as he can stay alive.

Fu Kang'an said coldly: "Go back first, I'll find you if there's anything."

He didn't even look at her.

A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold, but why should he be forgiven? Why should others forgive on behalf of the person concerned?

However, Fukang'an also had some guesses in his mind. He was afraid that the appearance of these things was related to the girl who had been persecuted to death ten years ago.

But think about it, he was powerless ten years ago, but ten years later he killed his enemies with his own hands. It seems magical just to think about it. Could this be the truth?

If so, then the girl did not die that year, so where is she now?

Ignoring Dong Tianyu's pleading, Fu Kang'an carefully recalled the details.

In order to learn more details, Fukang'an went to Chunxianglou.

The room had been sealed and Fu Kang'an walked in.

Fu Kang'an carefully examined Sun Yaowu's head. Judging from his expression, he did not seem to be in pain. Could it be that he really did it in his sleep?
