Chapter 760

Not long after Shang Zhuo left——

Lujiang came in from outside.

The report said, "Lord, I have sent someone to check in the capital, but no blacksmith or weapon store has ever made a four inch dagger. They all said that at present, I have never seen a four inch dagger in the capital, so I have sent someone to check outside the capital. I hope there will be a clue."

"The portrait sent to the Ministry of punishment has a result?"

"Already..."

Before he finished, he saw Yu Shaoqing coming in a hurry with his robe. A pair of shoes were half wet.

He hurried into the room and bowed, "Lord."

"What's the matter with Yu Shaoqing?"

"The Ministry of punishment has news."

"Say."

He took a booklet out of his sleeve and handed it to Jingrong. He said, "the Ministry of punishment searched the capital according to the portrait and learned the names of the seven bones. Then he handed it over to the Ministry of household, sorted out the death list one by one, and sent it to Dali Temple. The lower official quickly copied it and sent it."

The Ministry of punishment works very fast.

Jingrong, open the book!

The name, age, birth and native place of the deceased are all on it

Very detailed.

"Are they all from Beijing?"

"Yes."

Jing Rong gave it to Ji Yunshu.

She read it carefully and was silent.

Jing Rong asked Yu Shaoqing, "have you found anything else over there?"

"I only know these for the time being, but Li Shangshu said that the bones in the autopsy room can be put for a long time, but Gao Meng's body may be handed over to those who go with him for burial in the next two days."

"Well, let him do it."

"Yes."

"Has the Ministry of punishment inquired about the relatives and friends of the seven dead? Have you asked for details?"

"It's still under investigation. There may be results later. After the list of the Ministry of household came out, the lower official sent it to the Ministry of punishment for the first time. He hasn't been to the Ministry of punishment yet."

Answer one by one.

Suddenly——

Ji Yunshu said, "it's strange."

Huh?

Jing Rong asked, "what's the matter?"

"These people are..."

What are they?

Jingrong, Yu Shaoqing and Lujiang look at her one after another.

Ji Yunshu raised the booklet in his hand and said, "the seven dead have one thing in common."

"Common ground?"

"They were born in the Yin year, the Yin month, the Yin day."

Yin year, Yin month, Yin time, Yin day?

Jingrong took the book again and looked it over again.

"Sure enough!"

Yu Shaoqing wondered, "even so, what does it have to do with this case?"

"I don't know." She shook her head, "but a hunch told me that there would never be such a big coincidence. The original way of death of the seven dead has been very strange. Now I encounter such a coincidence. I think it may have something to do with their way of death."

Frankly, this is her intuition.

After all, there is no such coincidence in the world. There are not many people born on the Yin day when the Yin year and the Yin month are yin. How can the murderer kill them all?

It's a pity not to sell lottery tickets!

The crowd fell silent.

Until Jing Rong said, "what about Gao Meng? When was he born?"

"Oh, I almost forgot." Yu Shaoqing patted his forehead, took out another booklet, handed it up and said, "it's Gao Meng's, it's very detailed, and some are provided by the people who accompanied him to Beijing."

Open it!

"It is also born on the Yin day when the Yin year and the Yin month are yin."

Uh!

Eight people, all of them.

So it's definitely not a coincidence.

Several people looked dignified.

Jing Rong analyzed and said, "could it be that the people selected by the murderer were born in the Yin year, the Yin month, the Yin day? They were killed in a very strange way, which is like... It's a way of sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?" Ji Yunshu was surprised, "why do you say so?"

"It's just a guess. I've been to many places in the past six months since I left Beijing, but I've also heard of a very frightening way of sacrifice, that is, binding all people born on the same day on red iron pillars, so that they can be burned alive to sacrifice to the gods, but I've only heard of it and haven't seen it. But this case is similar on the surface."

"If so, it would be terrible." Yu Shaoqing could not help shivering.

Jing Rong: "but the case has not been found out after all, so we can't make a conclusion."

Ji Yunshu: "yes, there is no clue to the mystery of the case. You can't draw a conclusion too early to avoid confusion."

"What the Lord and Mr. Ji said is."

Even if it was just a guess, it was like a fog, stirring up more and more confusion in people's hearts.

No more!

"Yu Shaoqing, go back to Dali temple and inform the Ministry of punishment that the names of the seven skeletons correspond to each other. Be sure to ask the deceased where he had been before his death? Who he had dealt with before he disappeared? Or... If there were any strange things, ask them one by one. Don't miss a bit."

"Yes, I'll be right back."

I'm going to leave——

Yu Shaoqing suddenly asked, "by the way, when I came in, I met Lord Shang at the door. I don't know what he's doing here?"

Jingrong, "that Lord Shang is a good official. He just came to ask about the dry well case."

"I see."

No longer asked, he hurried away.

Today, I don't know what's wrong with Wang Rong's residence. If someone walks on the front foot, someone enters on the back foot.

As soon as Yu Shaoqing left, Mo ruo came.

As usual, the boy was shaky and unsteady, with a bottle of wine hanging in his hand as usual.

Swing in.

He sat down in his chair without regard to himself as a guest.

Jing Rong glanced at him, "you drunkard, what are you doing here?"

"Why? You can't come if you're okay?"

"But I can't stand the smell of wine."

Mo ruo pointed to the calm Ji Yunshu. "People who don't touch Mr. Ji can stand it. You're too stingy as a big man."

Jing Rong was speechless. "If I were a stingy man, you would have been thrown out now."

ha-ha.

He smiled and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth.

Then he narrowed his drunken eyes and said, "I heard that you lived in Zhangjia village on the outskirts of the city last night and there was a homicide?"

Huh?

The boy's news is very clever.

"How do you know?" Ji Yunshu made a sound.

He pointed to his ears. "Although I'm not an official, my ears are very smart. There's nothing I don't know about the slightest disturbance in the capital."

"Then tell me what happened to the dry well case?"

Ji Yunshu threw a question to him.

"If you don't say the case is okay, I'm surprised when you say it." He got up and walked towards her. He took out the handkerchief that had been sent to Yuhua Pavilion, grabbed it in his hand and asked, "Mr. Ji, are you teasing me? He said he had found something for me to have a look. Why is it empty?"

"Empty?" Ji Yunshu grabbed the handkerchief, frowned and shocked, "what's inside?"

"That's what I came to ask you!"
