Chapter 185 Nine Ileum 17

"I have forgotten which year it was. It was probably in autumn or winter. There was a lantern market on the bank of Luohe River, which was quite lively. I went there at that time... I had been to the Taoist temple in their home. I knew that their home was What to do..."

Li Shen said calmly, Wu Xiang frowned and asked: "Then how do you know they will go to the lantern market?"

Li Shen smiled and said, "I didn't go specifically to wait for him, because I had already noticed several houses at that time, and the Luohe Lantern Festival happened around the New Year, so I just went to try my luck. , take away whoever you see."

"Is it that simple?" Wu Xiang always felt that Li Shen's explanation was too smooth, and many details were unclear. However, because it had been so many years, he couldn't be too demanding, "before that, when did they come?" From the Taoist temple? This young master also came at that time?"

Li Shen was a little hesitant, "I can't remember clearly, but I have been here..."

Wu Xiang stared at him for a moment, then suddenly walked to the cell door and told Hou Yang, "Go to Mr. Ming's house and invite them to come to the government office."

Hou Yang took the order and left. Wu Xiang asked again: "Tell me what happened after you took the person away."

Li Shen swallowed hard, and his cloudy but not panic-stricken eyes slightly lowered, "I failed that time. I had already used the drug, but the child still ran away——"

Wu Xiang took two steps back, leaned on the desk, and motioned to the Yamen on the side to record carefully, "Tell me more details, where was the child caught, and where was he taken? When did you run away again? What time was it?"

Li Shen frowned, "I...I can't remember clearly, it was night...I found the child in the downtown area. He no longer recognized me, but I said that I recognized his parents. Under normal circumstances, I always said this, but he believed it and left the long street with me. I found an uninhabited place to strike, and I could hold a child of any age without arousing suspicion..."

Wu Xiang sneered, "You can't remember anything about this case? Then you remember what you were wearing at the time, right?"

"The clothes I wore were just ordinary clothes. I wore a mask, and maybe I had some gadgets..." Li Shen thought carefully, "I really can't remember anything else."

As he spoke, he coughed again, and the sound of dry coughing echoed in the cell, making everyone's hearts twitch. After he finished coughing and regained his breath, Li Shen said hoarsely: "My end is approaching now. Why bother to deceive you..."

He suddenly looked at the crowd with compassion, "I have served the true God for many years, and he wants me to serve under his old man. I will tell you whatever you want to know."

Wu Xiang heard his godly words and wanted to punch him in the face, "Don't talk such nonsense here. I also advise you to think about the details of that year. Otherwise, even if your time is approaching, you will want to die." It’s not easy either!”

At this point, he glanced at Bo Ruoyou, and then asked: "The case of the young master you mentioned happened in the 17th year of Jianhe. You didn't succeed at that time. What happened after that? You When is the next murder?"

Li Shen's face still had that expression of indifference, but Bo Ruoyou's hands that were held in front of him suddenly tightened. The light in the cell was dim, and Huo Weilou's eyes slowly fell on Bo Ruoyou. After thinking for a moment, he reached over the arm of the chair and took Bao Ruoyou's hand.

Bao Ruoyou came back to her senses, turned her eyes and met his passionate eyes. Her heart was shocked, and then she felt that her back was stiff and sore. She held Huo Weilou back and loosened her tight shoulders. , and listened intently to Li Shen's answer.

"Next time... the next time will be after a long time, after the New Year... I want to try this method again. I was also on the bank of Luohe River at that time. I repeated my old trick. This time, I took a fancy to it. A young official's son——"

Bao Ruoyou pursed his lips instantly, but Li Shen suddenly said helplessly: "But there is a little girl with him, oh, they are a brother and sister..."

Bao Ruoyou's shoulders and back that had just been loosened were as tight as strings. She sat upright, as if she was about to stand up the next moment. Li Shen's low, hoarse but calm voice was still like an evil ghost in the cell. echo.

"Those siblings are both young masters from official families. I originally wanted to take the young master away, but the elder sister followed me. They are both only four or five years old, and they are both well-dressed. Little baby, so I simply took the two of them away together, but I didn’t expect that something went wrong halfway and the two of them almost ran away together..."

Knowing that Li Shen was talking about the Bo Ruoyou siblings, Wu Xiang stood up straight in an instant, "What then?"

Li Shen laughed sadly, "After all, my sister is older and runs faster. She was probably scared by me. She is not afraid of the dark. What surprised me even more was that she actually left her brother behind and ran away by herself. Already..."

Bao Ruoyou's face instantly turned pale.

Li Shen's smile was mocking, "But I can't blame her. As a child, she only remembers to protect herself. Her brother kept crying, heartbreakingly, but what's the use? I captured a child of four or five years old and took him back to the house I had purchased at the time on the banks of the Luo River, where I sacrificed him..."

Bao Ruoyou's body trembled slightly, but she resisted and did not get up and leave. She stared at Li Shen with a complicated look on her face, which made Li Shen a little suspicious. He turned around and looked at her again, but after many years , Li Shen no longer recognized her, he smiled carelessly and turned to look at Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang never thought that the truth would be revealed in such a way. The corners of his lips twitched, "Where is your house?"

"It was in Baijia Village on the edge of Luohe River."

After Li Shen finished speaking, Wu Xiang's face darkened, "Baijia Village? Baijia Village has been demolished..."

Li Shen nodded calmly, "You are right, it was demolished. Now it has been bought by the nobles and they are all built as villas."

"So we can't find the crime scene?" Wu Xiang asked again.

Li Shen sighed, "It's been more than ten years, so what if I found it, am I still going to keep the dojo?"

Wu Xiang couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "You yourself are a Taoist priest, and Taoism also emphasizes kindness. You have harmed so many helpless children, and you don't feel the least bit guilty in your heart?"

Li Shen raised his eyes to look at the roof of the cell again, his voice was hoarse but sincere, "The true gods of the ten directions are above, and believers offer fairy boys to serve, which is also their creation. Although they are thought to have died early in the world, in heaven, they follow If true gods practice Taoism, they will have less experience in the human world and the pain of going to **** after death. Isn’t that their blessing?”

Wu Xiang clenched his fists and asked, "Do you still remember the last name of this young master?"

Li Shen didn't think about it for long this time, "If I remember correctly, his surname should be Bo. There is a saying about them in the capital, what is it called... one school, three ministers or three Hanlins? When the incident happened, they Many people were sent to look for this young master on the banks of the Luo River. I remember clearly that in order to prevent them from finding out so early, I took the body to the lower reaches of the Luo River——"

Bao Ruoyou stood up suddenly, and the chair behind her made a harsh sound. She gritted her teeth and glanced at Li Shen, then turned and walked out of the cell. Huo Weilou followed behind, and Wu Xiang looked a little confused. Anxious, he couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward and kicked Li Shen. He and his chair were kicked to the ground. Wu Xiang grabbed him up again and said harshly: "You'd better give me Let me be more detailed——"

Bao Ruoyou quickly walked out of the cell and walked along the corridor and out of the cell door. When the light fell outside, she began to breathe heavily. Her hands were cold, and her pale face was covered with cold sweat. Jinjin raised her eyes and glanced at the sky. She didn't know when the snow had stopped, and the skylight was dazzling, making her eyes darken.

She swayed and was suddenly supported by Huo Weilou who came out from behind. She subconsciously grabbed Huo Weilou's wrist, and a strong sadness surged from her heart to her nose.

She heard the worst truth.

"Youyou, you were only five years old back then. It is the most normal sign for a child to feel scared and want to escape. What's more, if you didn't run away, it would be difficult for you to escape. Not to mention that you were only five years old at that time, but now you meet It's dangerous, and I hope you don't mind others."

Huo Weilou took her into his arms and raised his hand to wipe her sweat, "What's more, this person's memory is unclear and his description is vague. He may have remembered something wrong, but that's not necessarily true. You two siblings were taken away that night. Any Accidents are possible..."

Bao Ruoyou's fingertips were still trembling, and Li Shen's words echoed in her ears like a magic spell. She could even think of four-year-old Bao Lanzhou being caught by Li Shen, and his helpless cries echoing in the long night. How miserable and hopeless it must be.

Her temple suddenly hurt. She was not afraid of pain, but now she hissed in pain. Huo Weilou was keenly aware that something was wrong, "Youyou?"

Bao Ruoyou shook his head, but his body fell down as if he couldn't stand up. Huo Weilou hurriedly picked her up, ignoring the crowd of people in the yamen, and walked towards the door of the yamen, walking all the way This attracted the attention of countless government officials, and no one knew what happened to Bo Ruoyou. When they walked to the door, they saw Ming Guilan and his son and Sun Zhaozheng coming to the back hall together.

When everyone bumped into each other, Sun Zhao said in shock: "What's going on?"

Huo Weilou said solemnly: "She is feeling a little unwell. I will take her home first."

After speaking, he didn't care much. He walked around a few people and left the yamen. After getting on the carriage, he hesitated for a while and sent Bao Ruoyou back to his house to find Cheng Yunzhi.

The carriage started to gallop, and during the bumps, Bo Ruoyou huddled in Huo Weilou's arms with cold sweat on her face. She closed her eyes slightly, frowning in pain, and subconsciously pressed her temple with one hand, but she still couldn't stop. Despite the pain, Huo Weilou felt a dull knife cutting at the tip of his heart. While he massaged her forehead, he called her, "Youyou——"

Bo Ruoyou's eyelashes were wet with pain. He called out several times before she tremblingly opened her eyes, but at that moment, Huo Weilou's breath was held.

Her eyes were dark, and there was no light at all in the originally deep and clear black pupils, as if a fire had been lit here, burning her tough and gentle soul into a handful of ashes.
