Chapter 34 The Box of Sin

Chapter 34 The Box of Sin (Part )
Everyone turned their heads suddenly and looked in the direction of the woman's finger. They saw that the woman was pointing at a mule cart that looked very old but was well maintained. Sitting in the front room was a man wearing a gray-blue cloth shirt. From a distance, they could see that he was very thin.

Before anyone could say anything, the man on the mule cart saw them. The moving mule cart suddenly stopped. The next moment, he suddenly dropped the reins in his hand, jumped off the mule cart, turned around and ran away!
The road was narrow and it was difficult for the car to turn around, so the man simply abandoned the car and ran away!
There is simply no three hundred taels of silver here!

“This grandson!”

Lu Rou and Feng Dali shouted softly and subconsciously rushed out like sharp arrows!
Another yamen runner who looked agile and nimble also followed closely.

The women who were washing clothes by the river were stunned.

At this time, Su Liuyue turned to look at the woman in the green cloth skirt and said, "Chang Shan and his son are suspected of being involved in a serial murder case of a woman. Please take us to the Chang family, sister-in-law."

They need to further confirm whether Changshan is the murderer of these recent cases.

Furthermore, we must find out as soon as possible where the woman who was kidnapped last night is!

The woman looked at Su Liuyue in shock, took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, officials, please follow me."

Su Liuyue and the others who stayed behind immediately followed the woman. After walking a few steps, Ping Shaoyin's voice suddenly came with a bit of contemplation, "When Chang Youde died, Chang Shan was less than three years old. Children of this age don't remember clearly. If Chang Youde was really the murderer fifteen years ago, how did Chang Shan know about this and how he knew so clearly how his father killed people?"

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned and turned to look at the man behind her. Since the investigation began, this man has been standing by and watching. She thought that he didn't think at all and just wanted to be a hands-off boss.

She quickly retracted her gaze and said, "Just now, those sisters-in-law said that Changshan was often bullied when he was a child because he was short and had no father to protect him."

Ping Shaoyin looked up at the figure not far away, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "So?"

What does this have to do with him knowing the details of his father's crime?
"A child who loses his father at such a young age will subconsciously explore the shadow of his father as he grows up, let alone a child like Changshan who is often bullied.

He would definitely think that if his father were still alive, he might be able to protect him from this torture. In the process, he would constantly beautify... ahem, develop a yearning for his father, and gradually regard him as a belief in his life, or... a hero."

Su Liuyue said calmly: "During this exploration, he may have discovered something by accident and learned about the crime his father committed fifteen years ago. Under the influence of his previous mentality, he not only does not think that his father did anything evil, but instead has an urge to replicate the path his father once walked."

To put it simply, the psychology of this father and son is more abnormal than the other!
She had her back to Ping Shaoyin, so she didn't notice that the man's eyes behind her gradually became deeper while she was talking.

After a long while, he suddenly chuckled, his voice slightly deep, "Not all fathers will protect their children."

Hearing the slightly cold voice, Su Liuyue was stunned. She subconsciously wanted to turn around to see the man's expression at the moment, but she held back.

She wanted to stay as far away from a man like this as possible! There was no way she could explore his inner thoughts!
Not long after entering Qingyi Lane, the woman stopped in front of a very old wooden door and said, "This is the Chang family."

Su Liuyue thanked the woman, walked forward, and knocked on the wooden door very rudely.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard from inside, and the door was suddenly opened. A thin, dark-skinned woman with a timid expression on her face looked at Su Liuyue in panic, then looked at the people following her, and said, "You... who are you? Sister-in-law Sun, what's going on?!"

The woman who brought them here just looked at her with pity and said nothing. Su Liuyue took a step forward and motioned a yamen runner beside her to show the token of Jingzhao Prefecture, saying: "Jingzhao Prefecture is investigating a case! We suspect that Changshan and his son are related to a serial murder of women, and we came here to ask some questions." The woman's eyes suddenly widened, and her body began to tremble, "No... No way..."

Seeing her like this, Su Liuyue felt a little bit reluctant.

She should be Changshan's daughter-in-law, who just got married half a year ago. I'm afraid she knows nothing about these things.

She paused and said, "This is a matter of life and death, please cooperate. I heard that Changshan's mother, Sister Yu, is at home, please bring her out."

The woman trembled, looked at Su Liuyue in panic, then turned and ran into the house.

Feng Yang couldn't help but look at Su Liuyue silently.

This woman's aura and proficiency in investigating cases are in no way inferior to those of the people in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Before she knew it, she had become the person leading the case.

After a while, Changshan's wife came out slowly, supporting a haggard woman who looked no more than 30 years old but had gray hair. Seeing Su Liuyue and her group, she was also extremely terrified, "Sir, Xin Niang said...that my son and my dead husband were suspected of being involved in some...some murder case. No way, are you mistaken?! My husband died fifteen years ago, and I...I raised Shan'er by myself, he couldn't possibly kill anyone!"

Judging from her appearance, she really knew nothing.

Su Liuyue frowned slightly. She originally thought that the link between Changshan and the case fifteen years ago would be his mother, but now it seems that it is not the case.

She thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Whether these cases are related to Changshan and his son is not up to you. Everything depends on the evidence. So far, nine poor women have been killed in this case, and one woman is missing, dead or alive! If you want to do good for your son, tell the government everything you know!

"Has anything special happened to your son in the past few months? Is there anything different from before?"

"I... I don't know. Too many things have happened in the past few months. Previously... Previously, Xinjing was in turmoil. My son was worried that it would be dangerous to stay here, so he packed up his things with me and Xin Niang and hid outside for a while. He only returned to Xinjing about three months ago..."

Upon hearing this, the yamen runners following Su Liuyue and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

More than three months ago!
The first victim after fifteen years appeared about three months ago!
The woman bit her lower lip and continued, "After returning, my son has been recruiting people to make money outside just like before, because... because when he escaped before, he spent all the money saved at home. My son has been very hard-working during this period, often leaving early and returning late.

It's because I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so he came back a little earlier..."

Su Liuyue looked at her without blinking and said, "I want to see Changshan's room."

The Xinjing riots occurred about half a year ago, and the most recent cases only occurred three months ago, which means that Changshan may have discovered his father's crimes recently.

The most likely scenario is that when they fled the capital in a hurry and were packing up their things, Changshan accidentally discovered something and opened this sinful box!

As long as we can find that thing, we can convict him completely and find out where the missing woman is!
