Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like

The two looked at each other for a long time, neither of them showing any intention of weakness. Seeing this, Yan Xuanye sighed softly, "Okay, then I can only wait until I finish this matter before I can crave for Qianqian's love."

"Don't worry Qianqian, I will do it as soon as possible and won't keep you waiting for long."

Su Qian: "..."

She clearly didn't mean that.

Su Qian sat at the dining table and asked Cuiwei and the others to come in and serve the dishes. She said to Yan Xuanye, "Eat first and then go investigate the case."

Yan Xuanye resumed his playful and smiling appearance, stood up and sat down next to her, "I knew Qianqian was worried about me."

……

In the old and dilapidated courtyard, the ground and walls were covered with moss and weeds. Various ornaments were piled together in a disorderly manner in the house, which showed its dilapidated state. The owner of the house should not have lived here for a long time.

In such a house, there were two corpses with strange causes of death. The two corpses were stacked on top of each other like Jenga, and it was obvious at first glance that they were murdered.

The bailiffs and the coroner have arrived and examined the bodies. "The cause of death for both victims is the same. There is only one wound on their bodies. The wound is a narrow oval, not big, but very deep. Judging from the external injuries, the murder weapon was a short knife."

"The murderer used this dagger to stab the victim's heart. The murderer seemed to be very skilled in this technique. The victim did not die from excessive blood loss, but died on the spot."

"The only difference is that only a few small pieces of bronze mirror were found on the wound of this deceased, while there were none on the wound of the other deceased."

Yan Xuanye frowned, "Fragments of bronze mirror?"

The coroner said, "Yes, it looks like fragments of a broken mirror."

"The victim with the bronze mirror fragments in his wound died about half an hour earlier. It is believed that the murderer first stabbed the victim with a dagger or something like glass fragments, then killed the first victim, and then killed the second victim half an hour later."

Fu Ge: "It took half an hour before the second person was killed. This shows that the murderer did not commit the crime randomly, but had a premeditated plan."

March asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the murderer knew these two and had a grudge against them, so he wanted to take revenge on them?"

Several people were discussing with each other and did not notice that Yan Xuanye's expression was becoming increasingly serious. Yan Xuanye thought about what Su Qian said about the broken mirror and connected it to the two murders. He felt really worried.

He quietly called a secret guard and said, "Bana, take a group of secret guards with strong martial arts skills back to the mansion to secretly protect the lady's safety. Don't alert the enemy and don't let anyone know of your presence."

"Pay special attention to those suspicious people. Send someone to report to me every half an hour. If you find anything amiss, take action immediately."

"Remember! You must protect the lady's safety!"

Banai nodded heavily: "I obey your command."

After Banai left, Yan Xuanye went back to listen to Machi and the others' discussion.

Yan Xuanye: "First, check the identities of these two people to see if they know each other. If they do, then investigate further to see if they have any common enemies."

As Yan Xuanye was speaking, Ge Bulu also rushed over with a few people. He looked anxious, "Qiaogelu also had an accident. This time, a family of three died."

Yan Xuanye was silent for a moment, "Let's go and take a look."

……

On Qiaoge Road, in a small house with one entrance, the moonlight shines through the clouds into the house, creating an inexplicably eerie atmosphere.

The man who was the head of the family and died the most tragically had empty eyes, like a dark abyss, without emotion or vitality.

His dry and stiff hands were clasped tightly against his chest. There were cut marks on the palms of his hands, which must have been caused by him holding the blade with his hands and then being cut.

He must have had a bargaining game with the murderer before his death, but was eventually killed by a knife through the heart. He seemed to have experienced great pain before his death, and even died with his eyes open.

His wife and children died peacefully, without showing any signs of pain.

Ma Qi said angrily, "What kind of hatred or grudge is this? They even want to kill other people's wives and children. This is too cruel."

Yan Xuanye watched quietly for a while and felt something strange.

It has been quite some time since they captured Zhiyi City. Why was there nothing wrong before, but something happened today?

There are more than one or two murders, and the locations and times have no connection. The murderer traveled so far to commit the crime, he must know them.

"Should we ask the neighbors to come over and ask questions?"

Yan Xuanye shook his head: "No need. It's getting late now, it's not suitable to go to the neighbors to identify him. I'm afraid that the neighbors will be frightened and unable to sleep."

"March."

"First ask the county magistrate and the chief clerk to bring the household registration books here and check their personal information. After all, they are the officials of Zhiyi City. It would be inappropriate for them to be away at this time."

"Let the coroner do the autopsy. I think the wounds on his body are the same as those of the two previous people."

Machi nodded: "Yes."

Yan Xuanye and his companions found an empty house to rest for a while. Not long after, the county magistrate and the chief clerk came with the household registration books of the residents of Zhiyi City.

Seeing Yan Xuanye, who had a deep temperament, the county magistrate and the chief clerk couldn't help but look a little nervous. "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. This is the household registration book of the people in Zhiyi City."

"I have checked the families that were killed. The man with the bronze mirror fragments on his wound is named Zhao Guang, 29 years old. He is not doing his job properly and often makes a living by gambling and robbing. Since he has not married yet, he often visits prostitutes and bullies decent women."

Yan Xuanye glanced at him coldly, "Since he has so many stains, why don't you put him in jail?"

The county magistrate hesitated: "This...this."

Yan Xuanye knew from the look on his face that he must have received a lot of benefits from this man and protected Zhao Guang.

Yan Xuanye sneered: "Where are the others? Keep talking."

"The other man's name is Liu Cheng. He is of the same temperament as Zhao Guang. They are also familiar with each other. They often invite each other to drink and gamble together. When they run out of money, they rob people on the street."

"There is just one difference. Liu Cheng once joined the army and spent two years in the army. Later, for some reason, he seemed to have committed a crime and was kicked out. After Liu Cheng was released, he started to hang out with Zhao Guang, and the two of them got along very well."

Yan Xuanye: "Join the army? But under Lu Huan's command?"

The county magistrate thought for a while and then said, "It seems that after Liu Cheng was driven out, he was punished by military law by General Lu Huan for insulting Lu Huan and his biological mother."

"Later, Zhao Guang became good friends with Liu Cheng. After hearing about Liu Cheng being kicked out of the army and punished by Lu Huan with military law, he often insulted Lu Huan and his biological mother when he was drunk. Seeing this, Liu Cheng regarded him as a close friend even more."

The county magistrate briefly described the life and experiences of the three people. Yan Xuanye lowered his eyes, but his face became more gloomy.

These three people have offended Lu Huan to some extent, and have also offended Lu Huan's mother who died early.
