Chapter 4 Divine Judgment

"Father, do you know that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Li Wei was looking forward to it, but he didn't expect this sentence to come out of Li Yun's mouth. He was stunned for a moment, slightly speechless.

"Promise me a condition first, and I will help you solve the case!" Li Yun smiled with a smile on his face.

"What conditions?"

“Take me to Tingchao Pavilion tomorrow night to watch ‘Dian Oiran’.”

"No, at such a young age, how can you go to a place like that and join in the fun!" Li Wei refused.

Tingchao Pavilion is the most famous gold-selling cave in the city. The women here are extremely beautiful and famous, attracting young men and dignitaries from all over the world, even the distant South Vietnam Empire and maritime countries. , made a special trip here to sell money.

Li Wei himself secretly went there from time to time, but if he was asked to take his son with him, he would never agree to it.

"If this is the key to solving the case, you should agree, right?" Li Yun said with a smile.

"This...how do you say this?"

"Do you agree or not?"

"good!"

"Wow!"

Li Yunxi smiled brightly and was so excited that the third lady on the side also became happy and said: "Yun'er, even if your father took you there, you have to be obedient and just watch the fun, you know?"

"Don't worry, there's no way those brothel girls would fall in love with a little kid like me."

"Hehe, it's natural. Remember, no matter what, come back after watching the excitement. Tomorrow night, your aunt and your second mom and I will have wine in the backyard and enjoy the moon. Without you and your son... you know the consequences."

Li Wei smiled awkwardly, knowing that the last sentence was meant for him.

"I will help you bring your father back." Li Yun said with a smile.

"Yun'er, don't be too happy. Tell me what you think first." Li Wei changed the topic first.

"Actually, these two cases are related and can be solved together!"

Li Yun's words were so surprising that they immediately stunned Li Wei and his wife. They looked at him blankly and exclaimed: "What a coincidence?!"

"The time when the fugitive escaped from prison and the time when he ran to the killing place coincided with the time of death of the female body, so I determined that the woman was killed by the fugitive."

Li Wei was a little confused and asked suspiciously: "You already know the place of murder?"

"Yes, the place where the crime was committed is Tingchao Pavilion. This is why I reminded you that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"I...still don't understand."

"Every Mid-Autumn Festival is the time when the business of brothels everywhere is booming. Various activities to attract customers occur frequently. Among them, Tingchao Pavilion's Dian Oiran is the most famous and attracts the most important customers. Many young men Noble people are proud to appear here.”

"Yes, but how does this relate to this case?"

"With the power of the four major families, which of the young masters who are willing to do this would not want to show up here and win the smile of the beauty? With Chen Hu of the Chen family's character of forcibly marrying the beautiful woman Wu Yan, coupled with his status in the Chen family, I think I will definitely appear in Tingchao Pavilion to participate in some oiran."

"You mean, Wu Ping wants to assassinate Chen Hu in Tingchao Pavilion?"

"This is obvious. Because Wu Ping cannot see or get close to Chen Hu on weekdays, which is also the main reason why his previous assassinations failed. But when he orders Oiran, the scene will be extremely chaotic, which is the best way to implement the assassination plan. moment." Li Yun said with certainty.

"Well...yes, if I were Wu Ping and learned about Chen Hu's whereabouts, I would make such a choice."

Li Wei's eyes sparkled, looking at Li Yun like gold, and asked: "How can you say that the woman was killed by Wu Ping while listening to Chao Pavilion?"

"Some of the pavilions behind Tingchao Pavilion are right on the Chaojiang River. From the results of your on-site investigation, the woman was only wearing underwear when she died. She was about fifteen years old and had a black bruise on her head.

There were bruises on the body, but it was not rape or murder. The time of death was about five hours ago, which coincided with the time when the body drifted downstream from Tingchao Pavilion. "

"How do you know it's a match?"

"Because I know the speed of the water in the Chaojiang River in this season. Moreover, given Wu Ping's cultivation at the second level of Xuan Kuo Realm, the time when he escaped from the prison to Tingchao Pavilion happened to be the time when the murder occurred. This can be inferred that Wu Ping must have killed him. undoubtedly."

"This...how do you know that Wu Ping's cultivation is in the Xuankuo realm?"

Li Wei had indeed ignored this before and didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, Li Yun said it was related to solving the case.

"Hehe, of course you have to react to this immediately. Wu Ping is locked in the cell in Area 2. The cells in this area hold prisoners below the second level, and the prison steel is designed to be the third level. The strength of Xuan Ling Realm. Judging from the scene of the escape, the steel rod was slightly bent, and the exit was only large enough for a child to leave. If Wu Ping had not practiced bone shrinking skills and other techniques, at the age of fourteen, no matter how thin he was, , it is impossible to escape. However, skills such as Bone Shrinking Technique can only be practiced after entering the Xuankuo realm. This realm cultivates the muscles and bones. Therefore, I judge that his cultivation realm is in the Xuankuo realm. There is no doubt about it.”

"So, according to what you said, the crime was committed in the pavilion behind Tingchao Pavilion. What does Wu Ping mean by this?" Li Wei leaned forward and asked cautiously.

"From the information, Wu Ping is not a very evil person. He was ambushed by the Chen family and sent to prison just to avenge his sister. It can be seen that his killing methods are limited, or that he does not intend to kill innocent people. Sneak in and listen After Chao Pavilion, he must find a way to hide. Wu Ping's sister Wu Yan is as beautiful as a flower. It can be inferred that Wu Ping himself must be a young man with good features. Therefore, he may have an impromptu plan to seize the clothes of a brothel woman with a similar figure to himself. Disguised as a waitress in order to get close to Chen Hu and carry out the assassination plan."

Hearing this, Li Wei unconsciously leaned down lower, sweating profusely, and the hot sweat on his forehead was already rolling down, but he didn't care.

Li Yun continued his analysis: "When the brothel woman saw someone rushing out of the darkness and trying to snatch her clothes, she must have thought that this person had malicious intentions, so she shouted for help. When Wu Ping panicked, he naturally covered her mouth , during a struggle, the two rolled down the stairs, and the woman was hit and died. This is why she was not raped and killed. Wu Ping hurriedly stripped off her clothes and threw the dead brothel woman into the listening room. In the Chaojiang River, he was hiding in Tingchao Pavilion, waiting for tomorrow's oiran event. He probably still doesn't know that the woman has been discovered, so he must be hiding in the dark during tomorrow's oiran event, Waiting for an opportunity to assassinate. If the two cases hadn't happened concurrently today, and if he hadn't met me, he would probably have a great chance of succeeding in the assassination tomorrow!"

Li Wei's clothes were soaked and he couldn't say a word. He bent his head in front of Li Yun and stared at Li Yun closely, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face.

Suddenly Huo Di stood up and said loudly: "I want to go to the City Lord's Mansion!"

In a flash, the person was gone.

"Don't leave, we haven't finished talking yet!" Li Yun shouted.

"What else can Yun'er say?"

"Catch him on the spot tomorrow and let the Chen family owe our Li family a favor!"

"Understood!"

…

"God's End... God's End..."

Li Wei murmured to himself, and his mood along the way could only be described as extremely exciting.

"Incredible! Such a complicated serial murder case can be thought of clearly in a few breaths. It is like seeing it in person, which is better than countless people's hard work. Yun'er has such a genius, even if he fails to practice Xuan Gong, there is no need Worrying, I am afraid that no matter how powerful the Xuan Gong master is, he will not even have a thought. It seems... Xing Tiansi will definitely have to reserve a seat for him from now on! No, no, I am afraid that Xing Tiansi may not be able to hold such a big fish like him. …”

Seeing the City Lord's Mansion looming in the distance, he calmed down a little and stepped in.

Soon, the government order came out, and the martial law operation in the city was suspended, and various Mid-Autumn Festival activities continued as usual.

The people in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the danger was over and the carnival was about to begin.

…

On August 15th, the moon was full, but the bright moon in the Tianlong Empire looked bigger, rounder, and extremely bright.

The moonlight shines on the South China Sea, on the Chaojiang River, on smiling faces filled with joy, and on the crowded Tingchao Pavilion.

Signature lanterns have been hung everywhere here, shining with fiery red light, making everyone look more rosy, full of energy, and some kind of passion is brewing in their bodies.

"The guest officer is here, please come upstairs!"

Amid the constant shouts of the welcoming ladies, Tingchao Pavilion ushered in batches of distinguished guests.

"Young Master, please stay. I'm sorry... We heard that Chao Pavilion does not accept children."

In the midst of the hypocritical laughter and curses, an unharmonious voice suddenly came.

The person who was stopped was naturally Li Yun, who was only ten years old.

Li Yun looked up at the waitress with a smile, a sweet smile on his face, and said, "Sister, don't you want to see who I am here with?"

"This... this big fat man, ah!" the waitress screamed, a palm mark appeared on her face, and she quickly covered it with her delicate hands.

"Look at your slutty mouth, where are your eyes?!" Mommy rushed out of the building like a storm and slapped the waitress in the face.

"Your Excellency, the Master of the Palace, is here. The little pavilion is really blooming tonight. I am waiting for you, but the flowers have faded by the time!" Mommy smiled with flowers on her face, staggered deliberately, and fell into Huang Yu's arms. The wind blows.

"Mrs. Youlao is worried!"

Huang Yu spoke in an official tone, helped Mommy up, wiped a layer of oil on her body, and smelled it pleasantly.

"Oh, hello, how are you... bad... Hey, this is the young master, he is so cute. He is here to watch the fun. Come, my sister will accompany you. Master, please come in with me..."

Huang Yu shook his head, held Mommy's delicate hand, and followed her in.

Li Yun and Huang Yu were placed in the main seats in the stands, which caused countless people to speculate.

Since Huang Yu mostly appeared in some high-level political events in Chaocheng, ordinary people naturally didn't know much about him. Therefore, the fact that the old man and the young man actually occupied the main position aroused the anger of many arrogant young men.

"Li Gang, who is this fat man?"

"Brother Chen Hu, how did I know? I thought that seat was reserved for us, the owners of Jieshi Island."

"Your island master?! How can he be qualified? I thought he was the head of our Chen family."

…

"Master Cai Yang, who is that child?"

"It seems that he came in with the fat man."

"Why do you come to join in the excitement of this brothel at such a young age?"

"Children these days are precocious. However, they look thin and weak, which must be due to congenital deficiencies. How can they be compared with you, Mr. Lin Tian..."

"That's natural..."

…
