Chapter 227 - Serial Homicide
Yun Qin turned around, "Not for sale." Her gaze inadvertently swept past the jade pendant on the middle-aged man's waist. She took a closer look and saw that the pendant was emitting a faint warm luster.
She hesitated for a moment, the necklace in her hand was 3,700 gold, but she was afraid that the jade pendant by his waist was not only worth 3700 gold, if she exchanged it with him, she could earn a lot of silver, as for the necklace, wouldn't Gu Qingmeng had to find someone to create another pair for her?
"I'm not an unreasonable person. Seeing that you really want this piece of jade, how about this, use the necklace on your waist to exchange for it?" Yun Qin's gaze fell on the pendant.
After the man heard this, he picked up the pendant on his waist and helplessly said, "Miss, this is the first token that you clumsily gave me. This … This cannot be changed! "
The necklace was good, but the necklace on his waist was more important. After all, his wife had given him this necklace and he had worn it by his side for many years.
"If that's the case, then I won't take away other people's love." After all, it was someone's token of love. Even if she exchanged feelings with him, it would be hard for her to calm down.
The man thought for a moment and said, "I have another piece of jade in the inn. I bought it when I passed by Fuzhou, and it's also a piece of good jade. I will give it to you and pay you with the money for the collar."
Yun Qin saw that he genuinely wanted the collar, and that his clothes were not ordinary, so she reckoned that the jade would not be cheap. With just a piece of white jade, she was able to take 3,700 silver back, thinking about it carefully.
"Miss, how is it?" the man asked sincerely, looking into her eyes.
Yun Qin nodded: "Alright."
When the man heard this, he was overjoyed. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, young lady."
"You're welcome." Yun Qin curled her lips, and the oculi revealed a smile.
"Then can the two ladies please walk a little longer and accompany me back to the inn to get the silver taels?" the man asked softly. Yun Qin saw a horse carriage nearby and asked: "Is your inn far away from here?"
"There's a distance." The man replied.
"Then take the carriage. I'll pay for the hiring of the carriage." After all, she was so generous and could not be too stingy.
The three of them got into the car. Yun Qin habitually lifted the window curtain to look outside, and a familiar figure entered his sight. Before she could speak, Qing Yao had already spoken: "Isn't this Yue Xin?
Yun Qin's gaze landed on the girls beside Yue Xin. Seeing them looking at rouge, she said, "They shouldn't be."
"This Yue Xin is really vicious. It's not enough to have killed so many men. What if she commits a crime again?" Qing Yao said angrily as she looked away from Yue Xin.
"She only committed the crime a few days ago. She shouldn't be so rampant these days." Yun Qin said.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man curiously asked, "Miss, what murder case are you talking about?"
"Eldest Brother, you must be from somewhere else, right?" Yun Qin saw his confusion, as if she had never heard of this. She reminded him with good intentions, "There is a killing demon in Jiangzhou that specializes in killing pretty good-looking men. In my opinion, you should be careful."
"Killing demon?" The doubt on the man's face deepened.
Yun Qin nodded.
"I wonder if Miss can explain it to me in detail?" The man asked.
Seeing that he was curious, and thinking about how bored the carriage was, Yun Qin decided to just treat it as a story to tell him.
"About half a month ago, the Jiangzhou River started having many deaths, and the people who died were all men. murderer's methods were the same, so this should be a serial killer. Not long ago, my sister and I discovered a woman who was extremely suspicious … " Yun Qin started to talk again, but seeing that the man was listening intently, she continued, "Two more died not long ago."
After the middle-aged man finished listening, he raised his thick eyebrows and asked, "Where is the Prefect of this place?" No one was sent to investigate? "
"Don't mention that dog officer." When she mentioned that dog officer, she immediately got angry. It was clear that he wanted to shield them intentionally and even wanted to imprison them.
"dog officer? "Miss, you …" The man narrowed his eyes as he found it hard to understand.
"This Chiang is not a good person at all." Qing Yao said angrily, "Not long ago, in order to help the officials solve the case, we agreed to draw the weapon for the wounds of the dead person. Who would have known that because of the relationship with the brothel's bawd, the dog officer was unwilling to capture anyone from the Wind Moon Restaurant.
"Is this true? But how do you know that the Hua Kui of the Wind Moon Restaurant is the Murderous murderer? " the man asked.
Qing Yao analyzed: "Firstly, the deceased was in contact with her in the brothel not long ago, and secondly, his fatal injury was on his neck, and was caused by a ponytail. When I was young, when we were chasing and playing, I almost took his life with my ponytail. She paused, "The third is the silver bracelet on her hand, it's patterns that match the patterns on the chest of every deceased person, but the strange thing is, when we arrived at the court, the bracelets in her hand actually changed its shape, she denied that she did not have such a bracelets, but our people did indeed see her having such a bracelets."
"I've never seen it with my own eyes. The government won't be able to file a case just with a few words." The man said in a deep voice, the oculi's expression was deep, no one knew what it was thinking.
"And that dog officer, he's really hateful." Qing Yao continued, "Let's go to the officials to testify, and hand over the drawn blueprints. I wanted to test if Yue Xin knew any martial arts, and wanted to test her skills. The constable was quick to tell us that the Wind Moon Restaurant and his family's Lord had some ties, and that the matter was not easy to handle. "
"This matter has nothing to do with you, so why do you care?" The man was puzzled. The old people usually held a "better off with less trouble" mentality and was too lazy to bother with these things.
"It's good to be able to save one or two people." Yun Qin said, "Could it be that you think we are meddling in other people's business?"
The man shook his head, his eyes filled with admiration. "Right now, what we lack is exactly people like you! But since you said that the Chiang intended to shield you, then he will definitely not do as he says, what do you plan to do? "
"He doesn't care about the people. I heard that the Patrol Officer, Pu Sheng, is an impartial person. I believe that if he knew about this, he definitely wouldn't ignore it." Yun Qin replied.
The man laughed heartily when he heard this. "Hahaha, this girl! You two can consider yourselves lucky, to be honest, I am Pu Sheng. "
Who would have thought that people would evaluate him in such a way! It was not in vain that he had managed the Jiangzhou seriously these past few years!
