Chapter 73: Poaching (Part )

Su Liuyue said: "I wonder why the murderer's choice of victims changes so much."

Everyone was stunned. Sun Zhaoan asked in confusion, "Is it a big change? Isn't it obvious that the murderer chooses these... ahem, women who make a living by doing that kind of work?"

Su Liuyue shook her head and said, "Although these three victims did the same job, there is an essential difference - the first and third victims were secret prostitutes, while the second victim was a girl from a regular brothel.

You are the yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture, you should know better than most people that secret prostitutes are completely different from girls in regular brothels. One is a woman who is not recognized by the government and the law and can only live in the dark, while the other is a woman recognized by the government and works openly and honestly. "

Everyone still didn't quite understand.

However, would the murderer take these differences into consideration when choosing his victims?

Su Liuyue continued, "For the murderer, these differences have the following impact on him: it is much more difficult for him to commit the crime! If he only targeted prostitutes, he would not have to think about how to avoid other guys in the brothel, let alone go to great lengths to trick the girls out of the brothel and then kill them.

He only needs to walk into the room of the woman he wants to kill, just like in this case, and leave in style after committing the crime. He only needs to do one thing from beginning to end - to scout the place in advance, to determine who is in the victim's home, and whether there are any tools he needs to commit the crime! "

Everyone was stunned, and suddenly something clicked in their heads. Sun Zhaoan couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "That's right! When this murderer killed the girl from Wanhua Tower, he spent more than twice as much effort as when he killed these two prostitutes!"

"But why did he do this?"

Lu Lu frowned slightly, "There are many prostitutes in Xinjing. The more turbulent the times, the more people will engage in that kind of work. Logically speaking, it should be easy for him to find prostitutes as his target for murder."

Feng Dali couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that he thought killing them was too easy and not exciting enough, so he deliberately challenged himself to do something more difficult?"

How boring this murderer must be!

Su Liuyue pondered for a moment and said, "Again, based on the current situation, I can't figure out why his choices of victims are so different these times.

But... since he has committed the crime again after a year, he will not stop easily unless something unexpected happens.

His next victim could be a prostitute like Ning, or a girl from a brothel in the city."

Upon hearing this, the yamen runners couldn't help but feel a headache.

This range is a bit, no, it should be said, too large!

Even if they mobilized all their men, they would not be able to protect all these women!

Lu Lu immediately straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult the situation is, we must take action! Sun Wukong, you immediately take a team of people and focus on checking the brothels in the city and ask them if they have received any guests with strange behavior recently.

Feng Dali, take another team with you and search all the prostitutes on the outskirts of the city. Find as many as you can!"

Everyone gasped because of the visible workload, but since they were well-trained, they responded and quickly went into action.

Lu Zi took a few people to check the crime scene, asked the people accompanying them to make a record, and moved the body back to the government office.

When he finished everything and walked out of the room, he found Su Liuyue still standing outside, frowning and looking thoughtful.

He was slightly stunned, then walked over and asked, "Young Master Su is still here, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"no……"

Su Liuyue shook her head slowly. "I just feel a vague sense of uneasiness in my heart, as if something very important has been overlooked by me..."

Lu Lu was startled, and seeing Su Liuyue's frown getting tighter and tighter, he said considerately: "Young Master Su, don't push yourself too hard. A case just happened, and even if the murderer wants to continue committing crimes, it won't be that fast.

If you have nothing to do, you can go back and rest. If we find any clues, I will send someone to inform you immediately." Now there are only two people in Jingzhao Prefecture who know her true identity, one is Feng Dali, and the other is Lulu.

Su Liuyue was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will go back first.

That is... please tell your people that when they check brothels, they might as well focus on checking higher-end brothels."

Lu Lu was startled and frowned, "You mean, the murderer might look for targets in higher-end brothels?"

The higher-end the brothel, the stricter the security, so it would be more difficult for him to commit the crime.

This guy is really addicted to playing. He wants to increase the difficulty of one case after another!
Su Liuyue said, "This is just my inference. I'm not sure if it's correct. Anyway, it's not a bad thing to be more cautious.

Okay, take your time, I'm leaving."

Lu Lu was slightly stunned, and said quickly: "I'll send someone to see Su Xiaolang off..."

"no need."

Su Liuyue grinned, "You already have a shortage of manpower, so there's no need to waste manpower on me. I've memorized all the routes from the way here. I'll just walk to the street and find a car to go back."

After saying that, he waved towards Lu and walked out.

It didn't take Su Liuyue much time to reach the street. Just as she was looking for a car, a low-key yet majestic black carriage suddenly drove slowly towards her and stopped right in front of her.

Su Liuyue's eyes darkened slightly and she subconsciously took a big step back.

However, the carriage just stopped there and refused to move. Just as Su Liuyue was about to go around it, a magnetic and deep voice suddenly came from the carriage, "I took time out of my busy schedule to come here to wait for Mr. Su Xiaolang, but Mr. Su Xiaolang left so mercilessly. It really hurts my heart."

Su Liuyue had heard this voice some time ago and couldn't forget it for a while.

It’s the voice of King Wei Zhou Jingchen!
She opened her eyes slightly. Why did the King of Wei come to see her?
The next moment, the King of Wei lifted the curtain of the window, and looked straight at Su Liuyue with a pair of solemn eyes. He said with a twitch of his mouth, "What does this expression of Mr. Su mean? Do you think I will hurt you? Don't worry, I value talent the most in my life. I came to see Mr. Su this time because I heard that he has a talent in investigating cases that ordinary people can't match. I was curious and eager for a moment, so I came to see Mr. Su in person."

The longing heart...

Su Liuyue was unusually surprised. Could it be that the King of Wei wanted to steal her away?

This guy is so well-informed. How long has she been helping Zhou Yunke?

She couldn't help but bow to the King of Wei with a fake smile and said, "Your Highness, the King of Wei, your words are really embarrassing to me. What kind of ability do I have? I just happened to solve a few cases."

"Oh?" The King of Wei laughed deeply and said, "Then Young Master Su is definitely not an ordinary person. The cases he solved by chance are actually big enough to shock the capital.

Young Master Su may not know how big a stir these two cases have caused in the capital."

Su Liuyue didn't say anything.

She really didn't pay attention to this. Except when she was investigating cases, she was busy with Man Yifang and the Su family's affairs. She didn't have the leisure to inquire about these things.

Seeing that Su Liuyue ignored him, the King of Wei was not anxious. He suddenly smiled with his sharp white teeth and said, "Young Master Su, please don't be so modest. This time, I came to you with sincerity. In the last male Guanyin case that you solved, one of the victims was a captain in the Tiger Wing Army under my command. It is reasonable for me to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."

Su Liuyue couldn't help but frown secretly. Just as she was about to refuse, several soldiers suddenly ran out and surrounded her. The leading soldier stretched out his hand expressionlessly and said, "Young Master Su, please!"

This is not an expression of gratitude, it's clearly kidnapping!

Sorry for being a little late today. I'll be back to normal in a few days when I'm not so busy!
