Chapter 263 The murderer's safe house (Part )
This involves child psychology.

Children of this age always hope to become adults and do the same things as adults. Adults always have secrets from their children. Therefore, when children also have secrets from the adults in the family, they will develop a secret and exciting sense of superiority.

This murderer perfectly exploited the psychology of children of this age.

This only further proves that the murderer did have children. Only by accompanying a child to grow up can one understand their psychology so well.

Su Liuyue asked: "What does it mean that Murong Shilang received his help?"

Lu Lu said: "It is said that once, when Murong Shilang was out, he accidentally lost the gold locket he was wearing around his neck. The gold locket was made by the late old lady Murong when Murong Shilang was born.

Old Madam Murong passed away during the war in the past few years due to exhaustion from traveling. General Murong was very filial to his mother. However, when Old Madam Murong passed away, he was fighting outside and did not even see her for the last time. This became a thorn in General Murong's heart. After that, he especially cherished the things left by Old Madam Murong, including the gold locket around Murong Shilang's neck.

General Murong had repeatedly told Murong Shilang to take good care of the golden lock, saying that it contained all his grandmother's best wishes for him.

After Murong Shilang lost the golden lock, he was very panicked. He didn't dare to tell his family about it at all. He secretly went out to look for it every day.

However, he had been searching for the golden lock for several days but couldn't find it. Seeing that his family members also began to realize something was wrong and asked him where the golden lock had gone, he decided to go out and look for it one last time. If he still couldn't find it, he would muster up the courage to tell his family the truth. It was at that time that he met the half-immortal.

The half-immortal seemed to know his troubles and easily helped him find his lost golden lock. The only price he paid was to run errands for her and buy her a bag of mung bean cakes.

Those words that she said to Murong Shilang at that time were that she loved children and was willing to help them realize their wishes at a lower cost.

I have already been to General Murong's residence and personally confirmed this matter with Murong Shilang.

But... Murong Shilang said that when he met the half-immortal, she was wearing a veil on her head. He knew that she was a woman and the things she took the initiative to tell him, but he didn't know much else."

Su Liuyue frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "This is obviously a trap, but this trap is very subtle. If the person being set up is not a child, but an adult who can already stand on his own, he may not be able to see through this trap.

The so-called half-immortal was most likely the murderer himself. She must have known Murong Shilang's status among the children, so she deliberately targeted him and followed him for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to spread the rumor about this half-immortal.

However, Murong Shilang was the child of a noble family in the new dynasty. If the murderer came from a family whose property had been confiscated, he would have no chance to come into contact with the children of these noble families in the new dynasty, or even find out who was the most prestigious among them.

this means……"

Su Liuyue pursed her lips and said, "The murderer's family is still standing in Xinjing, or there must be someone around her who has close contacts with the dignitaries of the Xin Dynasty, who might be able to help her get the news!"

Yang Shaoyin and a group of yamen runners also had solemn expressions on their faces.

Of course, they had thought of this.

If this is true, the murderer is not only likely to be a dignitary of the old dynasty, but also likely to be a dignitary of the old dynasty who has finally gained a foothold in Daqing and has a certain status! This is not good news for them.

Once this matter gets out, the conflict between the powerful people of the new and old dynasties in the court will certainly become more acute.

Su Liuyue paused and said, “However, before the truth comes out, everything is just our speculation.

What we can be sure of now is that the suspected murderer took advantage of Murong Shilang to spread the rumor about this half-immortal, causing some children who were troubled by their unrequited love to secretly run out to look for her without telling their families.

So, they left home secretly, and their destination should be the land temple in Suzilin outside the city. Yang Shaoyin should have sent someone to check there, right?"

Yang Shaoyin nodded immediately and said, "That's natural. However, the people I sent said that the land temple in Suzilin has long been abandoned. There are no people inside, not even a complete Buddha statue.

There was no one living nearby, and the nearest village was about a quarter of an hour's walk away.

I have sent people to search house by house nearby for suspicious persons, but no news has been received so far.

Moreover... Su Zilin is geographically located in the south and north of Xiaogushan. If we hadn't found out about the rumor among the children, who would have thought that Su Zilin would be related to this case!"

One in the south and one in the north?
Su Liuyue couldn't help but sneered and said, "This murderer seems to be very cautious indeed."

Lu Lu couldn't help but say, "No wonder we checked almost every house near Xiaogushan and couldn't find anyone who looked like the murderer. It turns out that the murderer kidnapped and buried the body in two different places!"

Even if the murderer did not kidnap the children in Suzilin, he must have kidnapped them on the way to Suzilin!
Su Liuyue glanced at him and said calmly, “That’s not all. Given the criminal’s caution, I’m afraid the safe house she used to imprison the child… ahem, a place where the criminal can freely control and use to commit crimes is not near Su Zilin or Xiaogushan, but somewhere far away from these two places.

She must have a car that allows her to move freely and quickly outside the city. Moreover, from the fact that she can spend a lot of time tracking, kidnapping, and imprisoning these children, it can be seen that although she comes from a wealthy family, there is no one around her who can control her now.

But if her family is a powerful family in the old dynasty that has now established a firm foothold in the Daqing Dynasty, how could they allow her to do such a self-destructive thing? "

Yang Shaoyin couldn't help but say, "Young Master Su means... her family can't control her now? Impossible, if she is still in the family, how could such a big family not be able to control a woman.

Unless...she secretly escaped from that family, or the people in that family thought she was missing or...she was simply gone!"

Su Liuyue couldn't help but look at Yang Shaoyin with admiration, and said with a slight smile: "Only this can explain her behavior so far."

"God!"

Feng Dali, who had been silent, suddenly widened his eyes and said, "If we add this condition, won't the scope of suspects we have now be further narrowed?"
