The beautiful marriages of the girls whose innocence was ruined were naturally also ruined. Some of the insulted girls chose to commit suicide to forget about everything, some chose to become nuns and end their lives in loneliness, and some were arranged by their families to marry widowers or become concubines. The beautiful marriages that should have been theirs were all ruined by Mo Dong's hands.
Mo Dong's evil deeds were not discovered until he provoked Si Yun, the niece of Qingzhou prefect Si Yanbei.
Si Yanbei, a woman, had taken a special leave to return home to her niece, Si Yun, for her wedding. However, on the day of the wedding, she was told the wedding was canceled due to Si Yun's serious illness. This was strange to her, as her niece had been practicing martial arts with her since childhood and had never been known to be infirm. Furthermore, she had met Si Yun the day before and presented her with a wedding gift. At that time, Si Yun had appeared incredibly healthy; it was impossible for her to suddenly become so ill that she couldn't hold the wedding. There had to be something else going on.
Si Yanbei ignored his brother and sister-in-law's obstruction and saw Si Yun with a desperate face. Only then did he know that Si Yun had been insulted by the flower-stealing thief. He was immediately furious and wanted to find the local magistrate for a thorough investigation.
But her brother and sister-in-law strongly opposed it, because once the incident was exposed, Si Yun would be criticized for being insulted. But Si Yun's humiliation could not be let go. Si Yanbei put her career first and did not get married. She always treated Si Yun as her own daughter and vowed to find the murderer for Si Yun.
Since he couldn't investigate openly, Si Yanbei directly contacted Su Weisu, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice's Haiyou Qingli Division, and begged him to thoroughly investigate the case while keeping it confidential for his niece.
Su Wei had recently been promoted and transferred to Haiyou. When he received Si Yanbei's letter of complaint, he was looking through the backlog of cases that had not been solved in Haiyou Province in recent years. He happened to see several reports of people being raped by flower-picking thieves, so he keenly realized that these might be cases committed by the same person.
Therefore, Su Wei personally took charge of the investigation, synthesizing various details and clues, and finally chose to start with the cancellation of the wedding on the wedding day. This was because all the victims who reported the case were brides-to-be who were about to get married the next day and were forced to cancel their weddings.
Su Wei also sent people to conduct a large-scale investigation to see if there were other cases where the bride had canceled her wedding on the wedding day. After extensive investigation, it was discovered that in Qingzhou alone, there had been more than a dozen cases in the past two years where brides-to-be had been insulted and had their weddings canceled.
Su Wei reported the case to the Ministry of Justice, who then reviewed cases from other provinces, ultimately exposing Mo Dong, the flower thief. Mo Dong's habit of offering flowers to his victims before committing crimes was also discovered and made public, leading to the widespread rejection of women accepting flowers from strangers.
The Ministry of Justice has offered a large reward for the capture of Mo Dong, but Mo Dong is elusive and appears in a different image every time. He also has great martial arts skills and is still at large.
Moreover, ever since Mo Dong's characteristic of sending peach blossoms to victims was exposed, no one accepted his peach blossoms. However, no one accepted his peach blossoms, which did not make Mo Dong give up harming people. Instead, he became even more vicious and committed even more brutal acts of kidnapping, raping and dumping corpses.
After escaping pursuit from local government offices many times, Mo Dong became extremely arrogant. He even sent provocative letters to local government offices before committing crimes. The letters contained only one sentence: "Mo Dong is here to visit you." All the detectives in Daqing wanted to arrest Mo Dong and bring him to justice.
The reason why Fengming cares so much about Mo Dong is because Mo Dong once provoked her without fear of death!
Mo Dong killed Qiu Ci, who had taken care of her since she was a child!
