Chapter 770: When the Night Is Deep
After settling Ling Hua down, Ouyang Xiu came to ask Hua Lang what to do next.
Hua Lang thought about it and said that his direction was not wrong, as long as he continued to wait for news from the officials.
Helpless, everyone can only wait.
The news came at noon, and after the officials returned, they told them the news they heard one by one, and then waited for Hua Lang's judgment, Hua Lang pondered for a moment, and then pointed to one of the several names that had already been written on the paper and said: "This person has a prominent family background, countless money, and more importantly, every time he dies, he has contact with the deceased, and more importantly, when the Hundred Flowers Lady died that day, he also entered the room of the Hundred Flowers Lady, so there is no doubt that the second person is the murderer." ”
After hearing these words of Hua Lang, everyone stretched their necks to see who the person was, and when everyone saw the name clearly, they were suddenly speechless in surprise.
The name that Hua Lang refers to is: Lu Houying.
This name is an extremely ordinary name for Hua Lang and Wen Meng, but for Ouyang Xiu and Bao Zheng, it is not so ordinary, because this person really has a family background.
Lu Houying is the son of Lu Yijian, and Lu Yijian is the prime minister of the dynasty, who dares to say that he has no family background?
It's just that such a person, how can he become a murderer?
And, how can they prove that this person is the murderer? Even if it turns out that he is the murderer, for the sake of Lu Yijian's face, can they arrest this Lu Houying?
Of course, the most puzzling thing is the motive, why did this person kill so many people in Qingjie? How could Hwarang be so sure that he was the murderer?
At this time, everyone suddenly thought of one thing, that is, on the night when the Hundred Flowers Lady was killed, Yan Shu brought people into the room of the Hundred Flowers Lady, and among those people at that time, there was this Lu Houying, and then when the old bustard of Hongxianglou begged Yan Shu not to take away the Hundred Flowers Lady Oiran, it was also this Lu Houying who stood up and said, did Hua Lang confirm that Lu Houying was the murderer from these?
Everyone carefully recalled what Lu Houying said at that time, at that time he said, give up the title of Oiran to others, that girl may be grateful to the old bustard of Hongxianglou, now everyone knows that Lu Houying is the murderer, so it is interesting for him to say this at that time, I am afraid that he is going to use the smiling girl who became the Oiran as a scapegoat.
In this way, everyone will put all the suspicion on the smiling girl.
It's just a pity that the murderer miscalculated, because this case was investigated by Hua Lang.
When everyone thought of this, there were more people who believed that Lu Houying was the murderer, and Bao Zheng repeatedly emphasized that even if Lu Houying was the son of Lu Yijian, the prime minister of the dynasty, they would not be able to open up to him.
It's just that now, how do they arrest Lu Houying?
Everyone turned their attention to Hua Lang, and Hua Lang smiled faintly.
Everything was doing as Hanaro said it would be until the evening.
When evening comes, the sunset in the west is beautiful and the afterglow is soft.
A group of people sat in the government office and waited, waiting for the evening.
And in the evening, Song Qi came to the mansion alone, he made a bet with Hualang, and tonight is the end of the gambling game, no matter whether he wins or loses, he must witness it with his own eyes.
It was late at night, there was a half-crescent moon in the night sky, Ouyang Xiu was walking around in the living room of the mansion, looking very anxious, and at this time, a government official came to report, saying that Liu Yong asked to see.
Regarding Liu Yong's name, Ouyang Xiu and Bao Zheng have all heard of it, but they don't know what he is doing in the government at this time?
As soon as Hua Lang heard Liu Yong's name, he hurriedly asked the official to invite him in, and told Ouyang Xiu that Liu Yong was here to find him, and told him that Liu Yong had come to him to investigate the murder of the Qingqing girl.
After Ouyang Xiu understood, he naturally wouldn't say anything, and at this time, Liu Yong had already been brought in by the officials, and after he saw everyone, he hurriedly looked at Hua Lang and asked, "Brother Hua, but who is the murderer of Lu Dao?" ”
Hua Lang bowed slightly: "I already know the way, and I'm trying to find a way to catch him." ”
After speaking, Hua Lang glanced at the night, and then said, "You can set off in half a pillar of incense." ”
The night is bright, even without stars and the moon, and this is the autumn night.
And on such a night, there was a man in a hurry, walking towards an abandoned house.
The man looked calm and grim, for he had already done what he was going to do tonight so many times, and he didn't care to do it again, even twice or three times.
It's just that he also regrets a little, if he didn't knock on the door of the Hundred Flowers Lady that night, maybe wait, his goal can be achieved, so that he will not be threatened again.
But it was too late, so he had to kill people and kill those who had been trying to threaten him.
The night wind blew cool, but this coldness made people's blood boil.
The abandoned house stands in the capital, which seems a little inferior to the times, after all, in a place like the capital, there should be few abandoned houses.
But the abandoned house exists, and there are still people living in it.
The moon peeked through the clouds, as if to take a look at this evil in the world, and the small ruined house was illuminated by the moonlight, and suddenly the light became hazy, but these were no longer important to the people who flashed into the ruined house.
After the man flashed into the abandoned house, he first looked around, and at this time, he saw a woman sitting under a willow tree in the middle of the courtyard of the abandoned house.
If it was before, he must have caressed this woman, but now he can't, he is here to kill someone, since he already feels that he has killed her, then why waste time on love?
He slowly approached the woman, stopped a few steps away from her, and asked, "Did the girl ask me?" ”
The woman under the willow tree turned slowly, and the moonlight on her face made her look even more hazy and beautiful, which surprised him, but soon he calmed down, and asked, "Why did the girl ask me to come?" ”
The woman under the willow tree smiled slightly: "Isn't it already very clear on the letter, can't Gongzi Lu understand it?" ”
After hearing this, Lu Houying's expression suddenly changed, thinking that this woman was forcing herself to kill her, but soon, Lu Houying smiled, then looked at the prey in front of her and said, "Did the girl really see me?" ”
The woman nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "On the night of the Qixi Festival, I happened to be sick and didn't go out to see the excitement, and when you knocked on the door, I quietly glanced through the crack in the door out of curiosity, and just happened to see Childe!" ”
