This time, the accident happened in the downtown area, which is the most prosperous area of the Imperial City away from China. According to witnesses, the man was fine before, and suddenly died.
Su Lin checked, but there was still no wound.
Around the dead, they were also treated very clean.
But this time, a note with only a few words was found on the dead.
"Since you want to annoy me, you should be responsible for your actions. I'm going to start killing people. He is the first."
The words were threatening, and Li Ruo frowned, but the words on them made people feel the alarm bell.
"Why did he say we annoyed him?"
Liruo looked at the white shadow and asked in a deep voice.
"..." Bai Ying hesitated, and his eyes flashed surprise. He didn't know that his sister was so sharp.
"Say." her tone was a little tough, and she was really angry.
"In the morning, you ordered the whole city to be on alert, but I was worried that there might be a fish in the net, so I led people to search door-to-door..."
Hearing this, Li Ruo really wanted to slap him.
The whole city is on alert just in case. To search directly is to scare the snake
"Brother." liruo endured for several times before swallowing his grumpy temper.
"Do you know who the murderer is? Why are you so confused."
"I... Just want to help you because you are so lucky and hard." Bai Ying is not satisfied. Although he knows he has made a mistake, at least his heart is good.
"Put away your fan." Li Ruo glanced at it and was very upset that he didn't forget his fan at this time.
"Oh." Bai Ying dared not retort.
Reluctantly put away the fan, and then worried that he would escape uncontrollably and continue to play handsome, he stuffed it into Baimi again.
Li Ruo suddenly feels that heartless people can be much happier than ordinary people.
"Brother, don't be so funny. People are dead now. Next, more people may die because of your recklessness today."
Looking at Bai Ying, she still smiles. Li Ruo really feels tired.
Helpless, had to say the key thing.
Bai Ying's laughter really stopped because of this.
"But I..." wanted to explain something, but liruo no longer gave him the opportunity to explain.
"What's the background of this man?"
"A street vendor," xuanyuanmo said.
Just when everyone checked the surrounding situation, Xuanyuan Mo had gone to inquire about the man's information.
"Before, he was arrested several times by the local magistrate for setting up a stall at random because he didn't abide by the rules. He also had a conflict with the people in the Yamen. There was a brother and a mother over 60, but unfortunately, his brother had gone to other places, and her mother died half a month ago."
"What is the cause of death?"
"Accidentally falling down from the stairs is a natural death. The case has been closed." Xuanyuan Mo backhanded closed the case he had just found.
"Did you find out the background of the bodyguard who died at the gate of the palace?"
"Check it out." this was mo Shang's answer. Long before he came here, he deliberately took a detour to get what he had just found, so he remembered it at the moment.
"That bodyguard is a gatekeeper. He is usually alone. He is a good man. He is an orphan and was raised by a beggar."
"What about the beggar who raised him?"
"Died not long ago."
Li Ruo frowned and died again?
How could there be such a coincidence.
"Reason."
"The residents who lived there said that they were starved for too long and suddenly died when they ate."
"..." Li Ruo felt helpless about this statement.
I was hungry for too long, and then I died because I ate too fast?
Is there really such a big man in this world?
"The people of the government have checked it. It is confirmed that they really died of propping up, and the case has been listed as natural death."
Mo Shang wrung his eyebrows. Although he said so, he obviously didn't believe it.
"So we'll find something in common."
"Well, both of them died not long ago. One is an adoptive father and the other is a biological mother..."
"Go and invite the people associated with the two families."
"I have just made it clear that the peddler's brother already knows that his mother is dead. He is on his way back, but the bodyguard has no other family."
Xuanyuan Mo replied.
"... brother, send someone to meet the hawker brother on his way back. Be sure to ensure his safety."
"Also, if there is no family, there will always be companions and close monitoring."
"OK," Bai Ying nodded hurriedly. She had just done something wrong. At the moment, she was eager to have a chance to compensate. When she heard Li ruo's order, she readily agreed.
"Find another common ground." at this time, Su Lin squatting on the ground suddenly opened her mouth.
The three looked down and saw Su Lin's marked chest.
"I found this in yesterday's dead and today's dead," she pointed to a small hole in the Hawker's chest.
"When I saw it yesterday, I only thought it was the guard who accidentally broke his clothes, so I didn't care much, but just now, I found this thing on the vendor."
"In the same position, two people have found it. What does this... Represent?" Su Lin got up and intuitively said her own view.
"I think it's a sign," Li Ruo said for a long time.
"Tag?"
"Yes, it seems that my previous judgment is correct. The murderer has indeed made a selection before killing. This is the person he has selected before, so he made a mark in advance. He didn't kill before, but waited for a certain time, and then found a suitable reason to kill him."
"That is to say, in fact, it has nothing to do with whether we have angered him. He will act sooner or later."
"Yes, the reason why I was so cruel to my brother just now is that he did things too freely." liruo answered.
"The most important thing is, if he is not so impulsive, maybe these people don't have to die, because we have more time to find the murderer."
After saying this, Li Ruo hardly stopped.
"Immediately look for the people with this sign on the chest in the city, and then closely monitor them. These people are likely to be the next target of the murderer."
Li ruo's idea is correct. Six people with such signs were found in the whole area. The government did not disturb them, but brought them into the scope of the government and strictly monitored them.
This afternoon, the sun was soft and the weather was good.
"Baimi, we've been guarding for three days. The murderer must know our plan and won't come. Let's have a rest first?" Baimi and three other bodyguards guarding here hid behind the rockery and didn't dare to show up.
The man they were ordered to protect was Ang Lee, the owner of the largest underground casino in the imperial city.
A few days ago, when he was walking on the way, he was suddenly shot in the chest by a small thing. At that time, he didn't feel anything. After returning home, he found that his clothes had a hole, but he didn't care.
This was mentioned by Bai Mi when he overheard the young man chatting in the mansion. At that time, he was praised by the master, saying that his blind cat met a dead mouse and gave him a lot of rewards.
Without any doubt, the task of protecting Ang Lee was directly entrusted to him.
White rice spits out the grass in his mouth and turns his eyes a few times, but he doesn't open his mouth.
"White rice. We've been here for three days. Don't mention people. We haven't even seen a ghost. What's our life these days? We can't sleep well or eat well. You really don't want to go out and eat good food every day?"
The bodyguard on one side is persuasive, but what he said is also true.
Bai Mi sighed, still speechless. Don't say good, that is, he hasn't eaten a bowl of rice without anything. If you give him a bowl now, he may be able to eat all the bowls.
It's so tempting.
"White rice, you are the first red man around the crown prince. When did you suffer like this? It's good to obey orders, but we don't have to stay here. We should always have a meal."
The bodyguard didn't understand. The master only told them to guard here. He didn't say he wouldn't let them eat.
"..." Bai Mi turned his head and looked at Li Angang who had just got out of the carriage and walked towards his door. There are four guards at the door of his house and an attendant on his side. It seems that he has a good foundation of martial arts.
Ang Lee looks very safe. Moreover, he is at the door of his house. There are so many guards and thugs. He doesn't lack his protection.
Immediately. Nod.
Finally made up his mind.
"Let's go and have something to eat. Go and come back quickly."
"Good." the people behind them cheered in a low voice, pulled up the white rice still sitting on the ground and walked together.
"You two watch yourself. Let's go and come back quickly and bring you two delicious food." the bodyguard holding Baimi ordered.
The two guards smiled and nodded.
But at this time, the roar of tearing broke out at the door of Li's house.
"Several people suddenly looked at the door and saw that Ang Lee, who had just walked well, suddenly lay still on the ground. The guards at the door looked confused and obviously didn't react to what had happened.
"Sir, what's the matter with you? Go and call the doctor." the attendant who followed him hurriedly knelt down to check.
Several people around him were in a mess.
Bai MI was surprised and rushed over with today.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
When Bai Mi reached out to explore, Ang Lee had no breath. His face was calm and seemed to be asleep.
He was so frightened that he fell to the ground that he didn't forget to tell the rest to call the princess.
Liruo several people came after a incense stick. Fortunately, although Baimi has been scared silly, he still remembers to save the scene.
"There are still no obvious scars on the body. He is fastidious and needs to change clean clothes every day, so the initial mark is gone."
Su Lin soon came to a conclusion.
