On the wedding day, the husband's family was confiscated and exiled

Xie Wei hugged her lovingly, "Be good, don't look."

Shi Shuang shook her head and held the man's hand tightly, which made her feel safe. She hadn't seen the crime scene for a long time, so she was somewhat shocked. She asked, "Did you find out anything?"

"No." Xie Wei said in a muffled voice, "After the coroner examined the body, he found that it was not poisoned. Apart from the wounds, there were no signs of bullying. They were not after money, but only after life. Moreover, the wounds were not caused in one day, but probably three days."

Shi Shuang pondered, it looked like a massacre.

"Did the deceased offend anyone during his lifetime?"

"Impossible! My daughter is well-behaved and sensible. She never talks to anyone. How could she have offended anyone?" the mother of the deceased shouted excitedly, "You don't investigate the truth, but you are making up stories about my daughter!"

Shi Shuang said: "I'm sorry, auntie, we didn't say anything bad about your daughter..."

The mother of the deceased did not listen at all. She was furious and called her husband, saying, "Come on, let's take our daughter home and bury her properly without suffering like this."

Ignoring the officers and soldiers' obstruction, the two men picked up the dead man and rushed outside.

Shi Shuang stepped forward, but was dazzled by something. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was the hairpin worn by the deceased's mother. She felt as if she was about to faint. "Stop! We are conducting a formal interrogation and have not violated any regulations. Don't you want to find the real culprit and avenge your daughter?"

The deceased's father was carrying the body on his back and he lowered his head and said.

"No, we're going home. We don't need you to investigate this matter."

Strange, very strange.

The rain fell on the ground, still with a hint of coldness.

Wu An sent someone to stop them. He said, "This is a formal procedure. People have died one after another. We need to find out the cause of death. Otherwise, the whole Shengjing will be shrouded in a shadow, and the murderer will become more rampant..."

Behind him, the officers and soldiers knelt on the ground anxiously.

"Sir, two more bodies were found in the west of the city. They match the missing persons in appearance, and the wounds on their bodies are also similar."

"What?" Wu An shouted angrily, "Aunt, did you hear that? Another person has died. Can you please cooperate? Only when the murderer is caught can we comfort your dead daughter."

The two men refused to listen and insisted on taking the body away, and had a fierce argument with Wu An.

Shi Shuang picked up the deceased's information. Both her parents were hardworking farmers. Her father was a gambler, but he quit gambling a year ago. The deceased had an older brother and two younger brothers. She looked at the silver hairpin on the woman's bun again.

"Ah, how much silver is a silver hairpin?"

Following her gaze, Xie Wei's eyes darkened and he said, "That one, at least eight taels."

Eight taels! That's almost a huge sum of money.

Shi Shuang knew what was going on. She didn't care if the question hit her sore spot, so she took her daughter's body away. She didn't dare to ask, fearing that the truth would be revealed. She said calmly, "Master Wu, arrest them and interrogate them carefully."

Wu An was stunned for a moment and pointed at the two people in front of him.

"Princess, are you going to arrest these two people?"

"Yes." Shi Shuang nodded.

Wu An got the correct answer and tied up the two men with a wave of his hand. The coroner put the bodies back on the shelf, trying not to destroy anything. "If they don't behave, tie them up!"

The mother of the deceased said anxiously: "My daughter died tragically, and you still treat me like this, do you still have the law? Aren't you afraid that my daughter will come after you?"

Shi Shuang asked back: "I didn't harm your daughter, of course I'm not afraid, but I want to ask you, Wang Mei, Zhu Qiang, aren't you afraid that Zhu Yue will come to seek revenge on you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why is my daughter seeking revenge on me?" Wang Mei screamed, looking very furious.

Shi Shuang's every word hit her heart, "The hairpin on your head is very valuable. Someone is buying Zhu Yue's life, right? You pretended to be afraid to report to the police and clear your suspicion because you were afraid that the truth would be exposed and you would get into trouble. You always obstructed the trial because you were afraid of finding out the truth, right?"

Zhu Qiang struggled. He kicked Wang Mei down and asked, "You bitch, did you find a wild man? Otherwise, where did you get the hairpin on your head?"

Wang Mei and Zhu Qiang wrestled with each other.

After an incense stick of time, Wu An searched Zhu Qiang's home and brought back all the evidence, including the three sons of the family. They looked at the body carefully but were not overly sad, only afraid.

It's okay for ordinary people to be afraid of the dead.

But, to her family, Zhu Yue is a familiar person.

"Princess, these evidences are enough to prove that Zhu Yue was sold to the murderer! It's really too cruel. How can there be parents and brothers like you in this world? You actually sell your daughter?"

With the evidence before them, the couple stopped fighting and pretending, and their faces were filled with disgust.

Wang Mei sat on the ground, straightened her messy hair, and said in a cold tone.

"That's my daughter. It's only right to sell her. She gave birth to a cheap girl. She can't make a lot of money, and she's not favored by rich families. What's the point of keeping her? I sold my own daughter. What does it have to do with you?"

She rolled her eyes and was extremely arrogant.

Seeing that they were not afraid of their mother, the three sons just lay on the ground and fell asleep.

Wu An gnashed his teeth in hatred, "You bunch of beasts! You are unworthy of being parents. Why did you give birth to a child if you didn't love it!"

"If I knew she was a money-loser, I wouldn't have given birth to her!" Wang Mei said nonchalantly.

Shi Shuang looked at the strange family and sneered, "It's a waste of words to talk to beasts. Tie them up and drag them to the small dark room for interrogation. Beat them until they open their mouths."

The bodies of the deceased have begun to rot.

Shi Shuang sighed: "Let her rest in peace."

They went to the other dead bodies and found nothing unusual in their family members, so they thought it was a real murder. Shi Shuang looked at the wounds on the dead bodies' arms, which were caused by a dagger, with different depths and at different times.

Why did the murderer cut people at different times?

Xie Wei guessed: "These places are all places where heavy bleeding will occur. Could it be that the murderer needs blood?"

Shi Shuang frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you want blood for? You can't drink it..."

Suddenly, what Yu Zi said flashed through her mind.

Xie Wei asked: "A Shuang, did you find anything?"

Shi Shuang took Xie Yan's hand, got on the carriage, and nodded to the man, "Yu Zi told me that Lord Shi was frightened and fell ill. The scene he saw was someone drinking blood from a bowl."

Shifu.

As they still had memories of this mansion, they did not ask the servants to follow them. The less people knew about this, the better for everyone. She looked at the pale middle-aged man and raised her hand and said, "Master Shi, you are welcome."

"Yes, yes, yes." Shi Wangquan nodded repeatedly with red eyes.

In the main hall, Shi Shuang asked about his health with concern, and then asked: "I heard that Master Shi saw someone drinking blood? What happened? Are you sure it was blood?"

Thinking of that day, Shi Wangquan couldn't help but shiver.

"Yes, I'm sure it's blood."
