How to work

In the past year in Xijing, there have been three cases of missing girls.

This situation is not particularly special.

Because of the ancient population traffic, there were a lot of kidnappers and human traffickers, and there were also organized, flexible, and clever criminal gangs. There were many missing children on weekdays, and even more during lively festivals.The same situation happened in all parts of Daxia. Even after Emperor Taijia took the throne, he would pay close attention to governance and strictly investigate and deal with it. Such things could not be completely stopped.

Cui Tuiguan worked in Xijing for three years, arrested many human traffickers, and even cracked a large, cross-government trafficker gang, but failed to rescue all the victims.

However, most of the targets of human traffickers are children. Older boys and girls are difficult to control. Unless there are special reasons, they will not deliberately attack them.

The three missing girls were all aged between 15 and [-], and their families were neither poor nor rich.

Three times a year, an average of four months together, the time is too long, apart from age, body, appearance and characteristics are not very similar, so Cui Tuiguan did not associate them together before, only thought they were special Under such circumstances, the traffickers have premeditated targeted abduction.

But when the case of the concubine in Huai Mansion happened, the Huai family sent a body that was intentionally made by someone in an attempt to confuse the view, Cui Tuiguan felt a 'click' in his heart, and looked through the files on the desk overnight, thinking of other possibilities.

"So now there are... four cases of missing girls." Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, his eyelashes covered his eyes, "There is another corpse."

Cui Tuiguan looked serious, "Yes."

"Can anyone claim the corpse sent by the Huai Mansion a few days ago?"

"No." Cui Tuiguan shook his head, "The face of the corpse was distorted and difficult to identify, and for some reason, the corpse immediately decomposed after it was delivered, even with a lot of ice, it couldn't stop it. When the reporter received the news and came to identify the corpse , the skin of the whole corpse is almost completely festered, and there is no way to recognize it at all."

Lu Li clenched his fist halfway, knowing that it was because of anti-corrosion treatment.A corpse that has been treated in this way, once it is destroyed, will rot much faster than a normal corpse. This one was deliberately soaked in water by the perpetrator. The high temperature and dirty environment... will accelerate its decomposition.

"So the identity of this corpse is unknown... If she is a missing girl who has reported the case, then there are four cases of disappearances, if she is not, there are five cases of disappearances!" Shen Wansha counted his fingers, suddenly feeling terrible, " She was also killed! Then other people are also in the same danger!"

If you are just abducted by human traffickers, you may encounter some bad things, but people are alive, and there are always various hopes, but if people die, there is no hope at all!

Lu Li and Cui Tuiguan looked at each other with the same serious expression.

Cui Tuiguan pursed his lips deeply, "Things are accidental, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the same person commits the crime, but if it does, then as long as this person is in Xijing, he is a huge threat. Mr. Lu is good at breaking the serial case. I also ask you to deal with the Xijing matter." Sir, help—" Cui Tuiguan stood up and saluted Lu Li earnestly and sincerely.

Lu Li hurriedly avoided, "My lord, you're being polite—my lord has been a pusher for many years and has rich experience, so I already have a clue. If I track it down, there will be clues. I don't have any skills, I'm only obsessed with solving cases. If I can help My lord, I am also deeply honored."

The two confessed their attitudes, and the ensuing discussion became clearer.

Lu Li asked Cui Tuiguan, "Did you check the records at that time, how did the girls disappear?"

"As soon as I received the corpse of Huaifu, my heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the possibility of a serial murderer, I immediately called up the case files and carefully read the records at that time." Cui Tui frowned, "Speaking of which, there are indeed some similarities between the disappearance cases. "

The final places where the girls appeared were different, but they all had one characteristic—lively.When the girl left home, the family members found out that they couldn't find it anywhere, and rushed to report to the police. The police followed the route to inquire, and the clues stopped when they reached the busiest place.Crowded streets, markets, shops... The victims all disappeared suddenly under the same environmental conditions.

"It's lively..." Shen Wansha nodded, "The small banquet held by the Chu family was also very lively that day."

"Small banquet..." Tuiguan Cui seemed to have thought of something, and added with a frown, "Before the two disappearances, there were banquets in the neighborhood. One was a wedding event, and the other was an old man's birthday celebration."

So it is the same.

Shen Wansha opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Li.

"If there is a banquet... there will be a mixture of good and evil." Lu Li narrowed his eyes, not to mention how many serious guests there were, but there were quite a few who just took advantage of the opportunity.

Cui Tuiguan's gaze became more serious, "So the suspect is very difficult to investigate."

"And... there are no witnesses in several cases..." Lu Li tapped his knee subconsciously with his fingertips.

"It's not like there isn't one." Cui Tui paused slightly, and sighed softly, "In a recent disappearance case, a drunk gangster was a witness. When the police asked him, he was still drunk and said He saw the missing girl, but after he sobered up, he refused to admit it, saying that what he said before was drunk, and he didn’t remember seeing any girl being taken captive.”

Liu Butou has an impression of this, "That man is a well-known gangster on Xijing North Street, stealing chickens and dogs, stealing money from old people and children, knocking on widows' doors, occasionally taking jobs from Gui Gong in brothels, and paying attention to beautiful girls most, but if it's a big deal, I haven't committed any crimes. Our brother arrested him when he couldn't see it and sent him to prison for education. When the time came, he had to be released. If it was a man who had the accident, he didn't see it. I believe it was a young girl with a pretty face. He No one would believe him if he said he didn’t see it. But no matter how we threaten him, if he doesn’t tell, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

"Is this person still in Xijing?"

"Here I am."

Lu Li pondered for a moment, clasped his hands together, his brows and eyes flashed with wisdom, as if he was thinking, "What habits and hobbies does this person have? What are you afraid of?"

"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, turn day and night upside down, don't eat three meals a day, what kind of habits can you have? You're just a bullying bastard..."

……

The four of Lu Li sat in the government office for a whole afternoon, chatted a lot about the disappearance case, and also checked the relevant files at the invitation of Cui Tuiguan.

But still, there are no more clues, except for the bastard.

The days of summer were long, and the sun was still high when we left the government office, but fortunately, the weather was not so hot.

The four of them chatted lightly as they walked.

"I think that gangster did it on purpose. He must have seen something, but he just doesn't want to tell the truth!" Shen Wansha's expression was very angry.

He Lianyu patted the young master's head, "I think so too."

This possibility is quite high, Lu Li raised his head and looked at Gao Yuantian, "It would be great if he could speak."

Zhao Zhu raised his eyelids slightly, his gaze was dignified and lazy, "I just can't bear to beat him up."

"Beat him..." Lu Li suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Zhu.

"What's wrong with you, little Lizi?" Seeing Lu Li stop, Shen Wansha also stopped, looked at Lu Li, and then at Zhao Zhu, who Lu Li was staring at seriously... He raised his lips and narrowed his eyes, with a slow expression Slowly from foggy to full of interest.

He Lianyu also immediately saw what the two of them meant, touched his chin, and looked Zhao Zhu from head to toe, "It's really... very suitable."

Zhao Zhu became angry when the three people looked at him, he only accepted the fiery gaze from his wife!The other two should stay where they are cool, and give him some space to talk about love!

He frowned, "What is suitable?"

"Scare people."

"Scare people!"

"Scare people!"

The three spoke almost in unison.

Zhao Zhu felt something was wrong, narrowed his eyes and lowered his arms naturally, subconsciously took a defensive posture.

Shen Wansha knew that King Ping was not easy to deal with, so he pointed to Lu Li with his eyes.

Lu Li grabbed Zhao Zhu's sleeve and said in a slow voice, "That bastard loves to bully the weak and fear the strong. He is a stern and introverted man. Officials and officials have official positions, so it's not easy to hit hard... You are different." His shining eyes slid across Zhao Zhu. Zhu has broad shoulders, strong chest muscles, and a tall figure, "You can definitely scare him!"

Although the daughter-in-law's hot and enthusiastic gaze is enjoyable, the request she made is not for sex but for scaring... Zhao Zhu is very dissatisfied, "I'm not suitable."

"Are you kidding me!" Shen Wansha pointed at him with wide eyes, "You are the most suitable!"

The other two nodded in unison.

Zhao Zhu followed their gaze and looked down at himself.

Taller than average, due to years of training in martial arts and a strong physique, the murderous aura left behind by the slaughter of tens of thousands of people...

Lu Li squeezed the tendon on his arm, "Cruel, ruthless, authoritarian deterrence, who among the four of us has this kind of temperament except you?" The role is tailor-made, isn't it?

Zhao Zhu looked at Lu Li's and Shen Wansha's weak chicken-like figures, and then looked at He Lianyu, who was not as tall as him, thinner than him, took an elegant and dexterous route, and had an attractive peach blossom face... It seemed that he was indeed the most manly .

Feeling Lu Li's small hand walking on his arm, Zhao Zhu secretly stretched more muscles.Thinking about Lu Li's preference for strong men, he pondered for a moment and made a decision in his heart, it was all a show.

Gao Leng waited for Lu Li to ask a few more words in a soft voice, and took the opportunity to pull someone to the side to steal a kiss, Zhao Zhu then reluctantly agreed.

Shen Wansha let go of the hand covering his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Prince Ping is really shameless..."

He Lianyu lowered his head and leaned into his ear and blew, "Young master's fingers are so wide open, I can see it..."

"So what if you see it!" Shen Wansha bared his teeth at He Lianyu.

He Lianyu's peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and she raised Shen Wansha's chin with her fingers, with a rippling smile, "If the young master rewards you with a sweet kiss, I will keep it a secret for the young master..."

Shen Wansha sneered, "You don't like kisses from men, don't you like molesting pretty girls?"

"Beauty... It has nothing to do with men or women, the young master is very beautiful." Helian Yu lowered her head a little, her peach blossom eyes sparkled with affection.

"You are beautiful! Your whole family is beautiful!" Shen Wansha snapped He Lianyu's face open, wrinkled his nose, "You can say whatever you want!"

Afterwards, the young master turned around gracefully, leaving only a faint breeze.

He Lianyu missed the temperature on his face, and chased after him with a smile, "Don't worry, young master, I will keep it a secret for young master."

"You don't need to keep it a secret."

"You're welcome, young master, I won't ask for benefits."

……

Now that it is said, the following is the implementation.

Lu Li had asked Liu Tutou about this gangster in detail before. He knew that the gangster was called a dog, had no fixed address, and especially liked to squat on the street outside a certain brothel...Anyway, it was not too late, and the group of four turned to that street.

Fortunately, the bastard is still there.Squatting in a corner, with his sleeves folded, his eyes stalking the passers-by, as if thinking of something.

"He's over there." From the corner of Lu Li's eyes, he signaled to Zhao Zhu: It's your turn to play.

Zhao Zhu was never ambiguous about what he promised, squeezed his wrist, and walked towards the gangster aggressively.

The gangster saw Zhao Zhu walking towards him, so strong and looking like he was going to kill someone, he immediately rolled his eyes and wanted to run.But who is Zhao Zhu who can make him run away?He took two long steps with his long legs, and with a lift of his long hands, he threw the bastard against the wall.

Absolute martial arts, height suppressed, gangsters can't be scared, he is most afraid of such people!

"Brother, I have something to say..."

These words offended Zhao Zhu quite a bit, the big fist came straight up, and blood flowed from the mouth of the beating gangster, "Grandpa! Grandpa, I was wrong, I can't speak, please don't hit me..."

Zhao Zhu punched again, but this time he withdrew his strength a bit, so there would be no internal injuries, and it would only make the gangster curl up in pain.

"Grandpa... I didn't offend you. Just say..."

Another punch.

"Grandpa wants to order something, the little one will die... don't hesitate..."

Zhao Zhu completely ignored him, and beat people with the most handsome posture, showing his powerful strength and muscles. On the one hand, he wanted to fascinate Lu Li. It doesn't work to be reasonable, and he will not dare not tell the truth if he is afraid of being beaten up.

As long as he pays attention, don't really hurt people.

Facts have proved that the effect is remarkable.

The gangster moved to the corner with a bruised nose and a swollen face. When he heard that they wanted to ask about the missing girl, his eyes flickered.But looking at Zhao Zhu's indifferent face, and then at the blood on the ground, he made a bitter face and said.

He was indeed drunk that day, but he did see the girl being taken captive.The officials didn't say anything when they asked, because they were afraid of getting into trouble. Human traffickers are very powerful!And after receiving a bag of silver for no reason, he didn't dare to say it... Obviously, it was a hush money, and he was afraid of being silenced.

"Then you are not afraid of silence now?" Shen Wansha glared at him.

The gangster rubbed his face, if he doesn't say it now, he will be killed immediately, he is not stupid, he will run away if he says it!

Lu Li knelt down and asked the gangster, "What did you see that day?"

"It's nothing..." The gangster's eyeballs moved, and he caught a glimpse of Zhao Zhu blowing his fists slowly, and his heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to make up nonsense, and he didn't dare to hide anything, so he said everything, "I just saw the girl growing up. It was quite fair and bright, and I wanted to take a second look, but in a blink of an eye, I saw the girl was covered by someone and brought to the carriage..."

When he was drunk, his eyesight was poor, his energy was not concentrated, and he couldn't even see the girl's appearance very clearly, let alone the person whose face was hidden behind the girl.

"You don't remember the appearance, stature, and age of the person who restrained the girl? What kind of clothes did he wear? What kind of accessories did he wear? What kind of carriage is the carriage? What color, what texture, what is it? What kind of pattern?" Lu Li looked at the gangster fixedly, and reminded in a soft voice, "If you think about it carefully, you will definitely remember something."

Frightened by Zhao Zhu's power, the gangster didn't dare play tricks, so he could only recall with all his might.

"Looks like he's wearing a blue gown. He should be a man. I don't remember his figure. The carriage is an ordinary oil truck. It's the kind that is common in carriages and horse shops. It's nothing special... The sun was so bright that day that I almost lost my eyesight." I'm blind, I really don't see much..."

"The sun is shining? Aren't you sitting at the base of the wall? No matter how strong the sunlight is, it shouldn't affect you much..." Lu Li suddenly stopped, his pupils shrinking, "Did something hit your eyes? The hair on the girl's body Hairpin? An accessory on a man's body?"

"You say that..." The gangster's eyes suddenly froze, "It seems to be really..."

He tilted his head, his eyes suddenly excited, "That man seems to have a finger wrench in his hand! It's a gemstone, square and small, very shiny!"

"Can you see the color and style?"

The gangster shook his head, "...No."

Lu Li didn't force him either, the current situation proves that the gangster is indeed trying hard to recall.He changed the question, "After taking the girl into the car, what did the man say? For example, where to go next, who is the driver, does he have special characteristics..."

The gangster slapped his thigh, "It really is! I didn't see the coachman, but I only remember that the coachman was very young, because he spoke very tenderly, he seemed a little timid, his voice was weak, and he said he was going to Baibaolou..."

Baibaolou.

The Baibao Building where the Treasure Appreciation Conference will be held soon.

Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shen Wansha also opened his mouth, could it be related to Baibaolou?

It's a pity that I continued to ask, but the gangster didn't know more.

Seeing Zhao Zhu staring at him, the bastard knelt down in fright, "Grandpa... the little one knows this, I've said it all... please let the little one go..."

Zhao Zhu looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li said that there was really nothing to ask, so Zhao Zhu kicked the bastard, "Get lost."

The bastard got up quickly as if he had been pardoned, and ran away as fast as he could despite the pain in his body, grinning his teeth.

"Baibaolou..." Lu Li softly said these three words.

Shen Wansha clicked his tongue, "There is a problem with Baibaolou!"

"Not necessarily," Helian Yu slapped Wansha's forehead, "Maybe he was just passing by?"

Shen Wansha patted He Lianyu's hand away, disagreeing with his thoughts, "Where is Baibaolou? It's a gangster! I don't think there is anything wrong with ordinary wine shops and restaurants, but the perpetrator kidnapped the girl Going to Baibaolou, no matter what I think, I don’t think it’s right!”

There were two people arguing over there, while Zhao Zhu held Lu Li's hand, "Go and see Baibaolou?"

Lu Li obediently let him hold it, and looked up at him with a smile, "I think so too."

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After Shen Wansha and He Lianyu finished arguing over there, and Lu Li's ears turned red, Zhao Zhu spoke slowly, "First find a place to eat, and then go to Baibaolou."

Shen Wansha cheered and agreed, and took the lead in finding a place to eat.

Zhao Zhu squeezed Lu Li's hand, lowered his head and whispered to him, "How was my expression just now?"

Lu Li smiled, "Not bad."

"like?"

Lu Li's clear eyes flickered slightly, and he felt that Zhao Zhu at this time was very similar to Dabai who threw him out of the hydrangea ball and came back huffing and begging to be touched.

Doing the right thing should indeed be praised, Lu Li smiled even bigger, motioned Zhao Zhu to bow his head, put his hand on it and rubbed it, "...I like it."

Zhao Zhu's heart was itching, he held Lu Li's wrist, looked left and right, they were walking in an empty alleyway, Shen Wansha and He Lianyu had already turned the corner in front... He immediately raised Gao Lu Li's hands, and pressed them against the wall up, head down—

"What are you doing..." Lu Li was startled, subconsciously struggling fiercely.

"Be good..." Zhao Zhu hugged Lu Li's body, but he didn't dare to use any force, he was afraid of hurting him with such a small person in his arms, "Just give him a kiss..." His voice was extremely gentle.

After the kiss, Lu Li's breathing became short of breath, his face turned red, he stomped on Zhao Zhu's foot, and crushed it with all his strength, "How could you do this!" In broad daylight, can you show some face!

"You said you liked it." Zhao Zhu couldn't help but leaned over and kissed again, "Besides, if I help, you should give me a reward."

Lu Li patted it with one paw.

Zhao Zhu didn't flicker at all, instead he cheerfully showed the other side of his face, "Come on, beat your husband when you get angry, you won't be afraid of pain for your husband!"

Lu Li: ...

Should I complain about this lowly and shameless virtue, or ask the word 'for a husband' first!

While Lu Li's lips were twitching, for some reason, "Rogue! Shameless!" This kind of flirtatious words came out of his mouth, and he regretted it, and his whole face immediately flushed.

Zhao Zhu stepped forward to kiss Lu Li in a very 'shameless' manner, "I like you as a husband, come on, come on, continue—"

Lu Li clenched his fists and stared at Zhao Zhu, completely helpless.

He has lived for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has seen such a shameless person!I don't know how to deal with it at all!

Zhao Zhu squeezed Lu Li's little hand, and naturally pulled him forward, "I have something to do later, so we can't waste time."

Who the hell is wasting time!Lu Li couldn't shake Zhao Zhu's hand for a long time, so he bared his small teeth angrily and took a bite.

Zhao Zhu didn't seem to feel any pain at all, his bright black eyes kept looking at him, and he was the only figure in the deep pupils.

Lu Li finally lowered his head, stroked his forehead and sighed, letting Zhao Zhu pull him forward.

Falling in love with such a person is really...

Zhao Zhu said that he had once again refreshed the world view of the hidden guards. Xing Zuo was so stupid that he almost fell off the wall, thanks to Hong You's help.

Yuan Lian was amazed, "I've never seen such a...uh, such a lively prince."

Hong You heheed twice, "The future is still long, I will get used to it."

……

Due to the arrangement later, the meal was eaten very quickly, and Shen Wansha was particularly active. He was the first to put down his chopsticks, and waited for the other three with bright eyes.

After drinking tea, Lu Li got up and said to go, Shen Wansha cheered and ran to the front, "Let's go!"

The city of Xijing is not too big, so you can think of everything very quickly. When the night swallowed up the last ray of light, the four of them happened to be standing in front of Baibao Tower.

The main entrance of Baibao Building is indeed more luxurious, with tall door couplets, golden signboards, carved beams and painted pillars, and light gauze dances. You can already feel the extravagant and flashy atmosphere inside before you walk in.

The Hundred Treasure Building, the Treasure Appreciation Conference, is slowly opening.
