White Cat Legend 大理寺少卿游 Episode 22

Chen Shi went to the market to buy vegetables for cooking. When he passed by the salt shop, the clerk went back to the warehouse to get the goods and found that someone died tragically on the salt pile. When Li Bing and Ming Jingtang rushed to the salt shop, the widower Lao Bai had already checked the body and the deceased's arms were There were several knife marks on it, obviously from homicide. Since the deceased was a woman, Wang Qi asked the shopkeeper of the salt shop if he had any relationship with the deceased. The shopkeeper hurriedly clarified himself. Li Bing found that the skylight was opened and a ladder was set up outside the warehouse. The deceased might have climbed into the salt shop warehouse through the skylight.

There were dots of blood stains outside the salt shop. Chen Shi looked in the direction. Since it was located in the bustling area of ​​Shendu, the blood stains had already been covered by footprints. Li Bing took Chen Shi back to Dali Temple to continue the autopsy. Wang Qi led people to inquire about the neighbors and only heard from the street. The children sang nursery rhymes: Cats eat people, thieves are empty, the medicine fails, and the cup is full of blood. Alibaba stopped a child and carefully wrote down the nursery rhyme. Several people thought it was strange. The previous events had already happened. Will the last mentioned cup full of blood happen soon? Wang Qi interrupted and suggested not to worry unfoundedly and scare yourself.

Lao Bai re-examined the body and found that he died of excessive blood loss. Based on the thick calluses on the hands of the deceased, he guessed that he was a tailor, so he asked Cui Bei's portrait to be taken nearby to inquire. Then there was a murder case. The teahouse owner Wang Po was found dead in the backyard of the teahouse by the storyteller. The cause of death was exactly the same as that of the seamstress, leaving only a few neat rows of knife marks on her arms. Li Cake believed that the two murder cases had something in common. The two cases were ordered to be investigated concurrently.

Li Cake found the tailor shop of the first deceased and learned that the deceased's name was Zhao Erniang. Chen Shi felt that Wang Qi and others had been acting strangely recently. They were serious and did not like to joke. Cui Bei sorted out the case files and found that there was a murder of a woman two years ago. The cause of death was the same. Zhao Erniang is similar to Wang Po.

Wang Qi led a team to capture a man named Zhao Xun from Zhao Erniang's tailor shop. The man initially said that he was Zhao Erniang's customer, but fearing that he would be framed for theft, he admitted that he was Zhao Erniang's son. Zhao Erniang had not cared about him since he was a child, and he seemed to have a conscience in the past two years. After discovering this, he started to take care of himself, and Zhao Xun confessed to Niu Er from the gambling shop.

After finding Niu Er, the other party said that Zhao Xun had borrowed money from him, and Zhao Erniang was the guarantor. After asking a customer, Zhao Erniang didn't have any extra money after opening the shop, and she didn't care much about money when she started running the shop. Half a year ago, an orphan girl, Sun Xiaoying, followed her. Zhao Erniang was studying tailoring and heard from a client that she got married a few days ago, probably around the time Zhao Erniang paid Zhao Xun's gambling debt. Alibaba secretly found out that Wang Po was a human trafficker.

In this way, Sun Xiaoying's disappearance linked Zhao Erniang and Wang Po. Li Cake quickly found the account book from Wang Po's house, which recorded the time and price when Zhao Erniang sold Sun Xiaoying to Wang Po. He asked the buyer again, and the other party said that someone had paid a higher price. .

Li Cake searched the house under Wang Po's name, and finally found Liu'er, the girl who was sold with Sun Xiaoying, in a remote house near the city gate. Liu'er told Li Cake that when the two were selected, the buyer actually passed Choosing someone by smell, the two were intercepted by a masked man on the way to being transported. In the end, they were rescued. The man was disappointed to find that it was not Sun Xiaoying.

Just after Liu'er finished telling his story, Dali Temple received another report. Twelve female corpses were found in the wilderness. The widower Lao Bai verified the cause of death. The cause of death was similar to the two murder cases today. The death time of the twelve corpses spanned two years. They were all girls who had never been pregnant and were probably treated as blood slaves. When they were sorting out the bodies and preparing to leave the wilderness, someone picked up an embroidered shoe. It was confirmed that it was the embroidered shoe worn by Sun Xiaoying.
