Chapter 386: A bizarre murder case, the government arrests the head of the Yun family
That day, after breakfast, Yun Nian'an invited Feng Qingluan to go shopping as usual.
These days, she and Xie Ying were mostly accompanied by Yun Nian'an as a tour guide.
Feng Qingluan washed her hands and prepared to leave the house.
"Nian'an, I'm fine, let's go."
Yun Nian'an had a serious expression, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Feng Qingluan called out again:
"Nian An? What's wrong with you?"
Yun Nian'an then heard her shout and looked up.
"Is my cousin okay?"
Feng Qingluan asked, "Well, what are you thinking about so intently?"
Yun Nian'an pursed his lips and said hesitantly:
"Cousin, why don't we not go out today? I heard that a horrific murder happened on Poplar Street last night. I'm a little scared."
Feng Qingluan frowned slightly:
"What murder case?"
Yun Nian'an has always been timid. When Feng Qingluan asked, he told her what he heard with a frightened face:
"I also heard it from the servants who came back from shopping today. Last night, a young lady came back late after meeting a friend. When she and her maid walked to Baiyang Street, a strong wind suddenly blew.
There was a terrifying sound in the strong wind, like a woman crying. The two were frightened and the maid fell down while leaving quickly. When she looked up again, she saw her young lady lying on the ground in a bloody mess.
It was a bloody mess, with real blood and flesh scattered on the ground. It seemed as if her young lady had been peeled off her clothes by something, leaving only an empty piece of clothing with a lot of blood and bones scattered on it.
The maid fainted out of fear. She was found the next morning and reported to the police. After she was rescued, she went crazy and kept saying that the wind killed people and a female ghost ate her mistress.
Yun Nian'an's face turned pale as she spoke. Just listening to the description of the scene, she was already shaking with fear. It was truly too horrible.
Feng Qingluan was shocked. Why did this sound like a folk legend?
The wind can eat people, and there is a female ghost in the wind. It's incredible.
Feng Qingluan asked: "Is anyone investigating?"
Yun Nian'an said: "The governor sent people from the government office over there. Because this matter is too horrific, Lord Yu said he would investigate it himself.
People outside said that the maid was frightened and went crazy, talking nonsense, and that it was not a female ghost who killed people, but a perverted killer appeared in Fancheng, so everyone was told to stay out until the murderer was caught. "
Feng Qingluan also didn't believe that it was a ghost who killed the person, but the way the person died was indeed too horrifying.
The whole person was stripped to pieces, leaving only bones and scattered flesh and blood. Was he eaten by something?
Feng Qingluan asked: "Where is Baiyang Street? Find a servant to take me there."
Yun Nian'an said in shock, "Don't go, cousin. It is said that a lot of blood was spilled at the scene, and the blood soaked into the floor. The yamen runners couldn't clean it up. It was extremely creepy."
Baiyang Street was originally a busy street, but after something like this happened, no one dared to go there.
My cousin wanted to see such a dangerous place, but she didn't dare let her go!
Seeing the little girl was so scared, Feng Qingluan did not force her and comforted her:
"Okay, I won't go. Don't be too scared. Let's go out less in the near future."
Yun Nian'an nodded heavily: "Yeah."
A few days passed, and the people of Fancheng were talking about the tragic death on Baiyang Street, thinking that the prefect would soon catch the murderer.
However, there was no good news, as another murder occurred on Zihao Street.
The victims this time were two middle-aged men.
The way she died was the same as that of the previous young lady. When she was found, there were only clothes and scattered bones and flesh on the ground, but no whole body.
According to eyewitnesses at the time, they saw a gust of red wind blowing, carrying the sound of a woman wailing, and it swept over the two men before flying away. The two living people disappeared on the spot, leaving behind a pool of blood and minced meat.
Several people who witnessed this scene fainted on the spot, but they remained calm and quickly reported to the authorities.
Because this tragedy happened in the evening and was witnessed by many people, the previous rumors that it was committed by a perverted murderer were refuted.
It's not people who kill people, it's really the wind that kills people. It's the female ghost in the wind that's killing people!
When this news spread, it once again caused a huge sensation in Fancheng.
What kind of thing can kill a person in an instant and then gnaw away all that is left is bones and flesh? Who else can do this except ghosts and monsters?
After the second case happened, the people of Fancheng were in a panic, fearing that they would be the next person to suffer the same fate.
This time Feng Qingluan didn't sit there. She went to the scene where the two men died on Zihao Street.
As rumored, nothing could be seen except the blood stains left on the street after being cleaned up.
After two tragedies occurred in succession, the people believed that a female ghost was responsible.
This female ghost kills people indiscriminately. She might have died an unjust death, so she came out to take revenge on the living and drag them down to be buried with her!
The people's statements became more and more mysterious and had already become an urban legend.
But this strange story was about a wronged female ghost seeking revenge, and Feng Qingluan found it too weird.
The prefect of Fancheng has been sending people to investigate, but the matter has not been settled because of the intervention of the government.
Three days later, the same tragedy occurred on another street.
This time, the person who died was an elderly woman in her fifties.
Now the people of Fancheng could no longer sit still, and no one dared to go out.
These people died at any time, day or night. They hid in their homes. For the next few days, the originally bustling streets of Fancheng were always deserted, making an extremely prosperous city become desolate and depressed.
Four people died in succession and common people were afraid to go out. The governor Yu was extremely worried and sent out all the yamen runners to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Two days later, another middle-aged woman died mysteriously.
This time, Feng Qingluan went to the crime scene immediately after hearing the news. As soon as she walked into the main hall, the housekeeper ran in hurriedly from outside and shouted:
"Master, Second Master, something big has happened, something big has happened!"
The housekeeper's face turned pale. This roar startled everyone in the mansion, and they all ran over to ask:
"What happened?"
The housekeeper was so nervous that he couldn't help shaking. He calmed himself down and said:
"Master, Second Master, many people died tragically before, and the government couldn't find any clues from them, so they carefully interrogated the families of the deceased and found a common point: before they died, they all bought products related to the Yun family's industry or went to the Yun family's restaurant. They said that these tragedies were related to the Yun family, and they wanted to send people to arrest the head of the Yun family and bring him to the government office for interrogation!"
"What did you say?"
Yun Lai was shocked.
The others were also in disbelief when they heard it and were stunned on the spot.
Only Feng Qingluan frowned and said to the housekeeper:
"Tell me what you have learned. The deceased is related to Yun's business. What have they been exposed to?"
The housekeeper swallowed and was about to tell the whole story, but before he could open his mouth, people from the yamen rushed into the Yun Mansion.
The leading constable was Bao Ruida, a subordinate of Yu Zheng. Because the fourth son of the prefect was engaged to Miss Yun, his attitude was relatively mild, but the scene and the words he said still frightened the Yun family so much that their faces turned pale:
"Master Yun, our people have found out that the five people who died mysteriously recently were all related to the Yun family's business. The governor now asks you to go to the government office. If there is any resistance, arrest them on the spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Madam Yun was hit and fell backwards and fainted.
"Oh, grandmother, grandmother!"
"Mother!"
Panic voices rang out, and the Yun family members present were thrown into chaos.
