Chapter 108: The Prince is very pleased to have his doubts solved



The secret room was opened, and Luo Xuening took a long breath. She knew that this time, her judgment was correct.

Her eyes flashed, and she lifted her long skirt and was about to walk into the secret room when suddenly a person stopped in front of her.

"I don't know if it's dangerous inside. I'll go in and you wait outside."

Gu Shuchang was still wrapped in gauze, but his expression showed a sense of righteousness.

Luo Xuening took a step back and said, "Okay, since you want to show off so much, I'll give you a chance."

"Then you go ahead and I'll follow you, to prevent you from accidentally destroying important evidence."

Gu Shuchang: “…”

He really wanted to ask Luo Xuening, do I look so unreliable?

Secretary Gu should be thankful that he did not ask this question directly, because the answer he would have gotten would have been: "Of course you are not reliable. How dare someone who is entangled by Bai Lianhua say that he is reliable?"

So, Gu Shuchang took the lead, followed closely by Luo Xuening, and they entered the secret room.

The secret room was pitch black. Gu Shuchang took out a tinder from his arms and lit a faint light, illuminating a small area in front.

Gu Shuchang and Luo Xuening walked forward in the dim light.

After passing through the dark and narrow road, the road ahead became flatter and no longer as dark as before. The light shone into the secret room. Luo Xuening could guess that the back of the secret room was connected to the outside world.

No wonder, even though this monk lived in the remote Hongshan Temple, he was able to easily kill more than a dozen people within two years as if he were in an unknown place.

It turned out that he had such good conditions. Not only was his identity very secretive, but he also had a secret room, so he could easily avoid searches by officers and soldiers.

Gu Shuchang and Luo Xuening squinted their eyes, and waited until they adjusted to the light before they could see the scene clearly.

In front of them was a huge cave. Outside the cave was a forest, which was extremely hidden.

Gu Shuchang and Luo Xuening took a look at the scene in the cave and looked at each other in surprise.

Luo Xuening was fine, but Gu Shuchang, seeing such a scene for the first time, couldn't help feeling a little chilly.

Inside the cave, the first thing that caught the eye was the woman's clothes.

From inner garments to outer garments, from clothes for older people to clothes for young girls, from gorgeous to simple and elegant, underneath the clothes was the woman's beautiful hair, which was covered on a stone. The murderer was very leisurely and tied the hair into a bun.

This is just like the headgear that Luo Xuening has seen in modern times, except that the scene is more horrifying.

Behind the clothes, there are all the tools used to commit the crime.

The twelve victims of the closed-room murder case, including the fifth daughter of the Duke of Anguo who died tragically in the woods yesterday, were all killed by tools such as thin ropes.

At this time, Luo Xue Ning was already certain that the fifth young lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion was actually the thirteenth victim designated by the murderer.

However, the fifth daughter of the Duke of Anguo was kidnapped by a group of traffickers when she went to Hongshan Temple that day.

This directly led to the failure of the murderer's plan, so the murderer found Wang Wu in desperation and asked Wang Wu to imitate his method and fake a closed room murder case.

For serial killers like this, their purpose is often not to kill people, but to create a perfect murder.

Therefore, the murderer would never allow any mistake to occur in his case, so he found Wang Wu as a scapegoat.

The murderer himself, after finding the fifth daughter of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, waited for an opportunity to act.

The fifth daughter of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion met a group of human traffickers and was tortured to death. He then hung the daughter's body on a tree. Although this case is different from the other twelve cases, the tools used to commit the crime are the same.

He will finally put an end to the locked room murder case.

"Someone, take these tools out. The real culprit of the locked room murder case has been found."

Gu Shuchang retreated. The real murderer had been found, and the tools used to commit the crime had also been found. They had done enough, and the rest was up to the officers themselves.

The Six Gates had taken over the case of the locked room murder for two years but had not been able to solve it. However, when Luo Xuening took over the case, she was able to solve it in just a few days. At this time, all the officials were ashamed.

Especially the officer who had just attacked Luo Xuening, his face was red, he was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head.

"Miss Luo, how did you solve this unsolved case? Can you tell us?"

After solving the case, the officers had mixed feelings. They were excited about solving the case, but also felt ashamed that they were not as good as Luo Xuening. Of course, although the murderer was found, he was killed in advance. They were facing a new case that was even more difficult to solve than the locked room murder case. The officers felt uneasy and complicated at the moment.

However, this is the question that every official wants to ask.

"In the first twelve cases of the closed-room murder, the victims were all worshippers of the Hongshan Temple. Therefore, the murderer knew them very well, and they also knew the murderer very well. This was an advantage for the murderer, because the victims would not be on guard against him."

Moreover, to be able to kill someone silently in an official's house, his martial arts skills must be quite high. This murderer has practiced martial arts for many years and his martial arts skills are not bad. However, it is still difficult for him to avoid the many guards in the house, so he needs the cooperation of the victim."

"So, what you mean is that the victim actually gave the murderer a heads-up, allowing the murderer to sneak into the house and kill people quietly?"

"Yes."

"But what about the last case? That case is obviously different from the previous twelve cases. How can you be sure that they are the same murderer, Miss Luo?"

Although the officer felt inferior to the police, he was very clear when he asked questions.

"In the thirteenth case, the victim was different. From a concubine who was not allowed to enter the mansion freely, it became a young lady who had not yet married. At this time, the murderer's mentality towards the victim was obviously different from that of the others."

Everyone pricked up their ears and came to greet her with a giggle, but Luo Xue Ning's cheeks turned slightly red.

She was afraid that she would make a joke like Long Moxun did that day. However, she estimated that no one present was as stupid as Long Moxun.

"From the traces left by the murderer, it can be seen that the murderer had sexual relations with the deceased. If the murderer treated the other twelve victims only out of physiological needs, then he had real feelings for the thirteenth victim, the fifth daughter of the Duke of Anguo."

Luo Xue Ning coughed lightly, with a bit of embarrassment on her face. She didn't care whether they could understand her or not, the key point was the psychological activities of the murderer.

"From the many pieces of clothing and accessories that the murderer kept for the thirteenth victim, we can see that he had feelings for the thirteenth victim that were different from those for the others."

"Perhaps, the thirteenth victim was originally one of the murderer's targets. Later, the murderer was emotionally aroused, so he ordered someone to fake a thirteenth closed-room murder case and replaced the deceased. However, later, the fifth daughter of the Duke of Anguo was abducted, which made the murderer change his mind and simply dumped her body in the wilderness."

The murderer is dead. These are just Luo Xuening's guesses. However, no one disagrees with what she said, so it should be almost certain.

At Prince Jing's Mansion, His Royal Highness Prince Jing sneezed several times in a row today. Doctor Sai sat aside and watched him, his gray beard dancing happily.

"You caught a cold, you deserve it." "Anyway, I won't treat you."

Long Moxun glanced at the miracle doctor and shook his head. Who on earth were the people who praised such a naive old man as a miracle doctor?

However, the closed-room murder case was solved, and the prince was delighted, so he didn't bother with the naive old man anymore.

Looking ahead, Lord Prince Jing felt very relieved. Luo Xuening, you really didn't let me down. However, who killed the murderer? It seems that there is another unsolved case to be solved.
