Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

Su Ze and Xue Wu and his team were busy until very late before returning. It was late at night and the county government office was brightly lit.

"Mr. Xu, how is it?"

Xue Wu frowned as he looked at the bodies on the board. The wounds were all blood holes of varying sizes; these people had bled to death.

"The wounds of these people are all similar. They were all punctured by something like a spike, causing them to bleed to death. I've never seen this kind of murder weapon before. I'll draw its approximate shape for you to compare."

Xue Wu finally showed Su Ze the picture of the murder weapon, but Su Ze looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. But Master Cui said, "Three-edged thorn?"

"Do you know him?" Both of them looked at him.

Master Cui nodded, looking as if this was nothing special. "Yes, this thing is used for bloodletting. It's very sharp, almost like a three-edged needle."

"Three-edged needle?" The two looked at him again.

"It's a kind of medicine used for acupuncture. This should be a larger version of that thing." Master Cui was really disgusted by the appearance of the two people, so he sat aside to drink tea and ignored them.

"Have you ever seen anyone using a similar weapon around here before?" Su Ze looked up at Xue Wu, who shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

At this time, Xu Yi came hurriedly from outside, with a bloody smell on his body that made people feel uncomfortable. Everyone frowned, but he didn't care.

"I just compared each wound again. Some of them were poked with bamboo sticks."

"Bamboo sticks?" Everyone was surprised again, "What thick bamboo sticks."

"It's not thick, it's thinner than that." Xu Yi handed over a piece of paper with a bamboo stick drawn on it.

"Why do you think it's a bamboo stick and not some other iron tool?" Su Ze took the drawing paper and looked at it carefully. He couldn't imagine what kind of Kung Fu was so amazing that a tiny bamboo stick could be used as a weapon.

"Because one of the bodies had a section of its throat cut off. I was careless just now."

Su Ze suddenly thought of Xiao Lan's words. If he had the guts, he could just push the blame onto Liu Yu. The scary thing was that even if he had intended to cheat, he couldn't do it. This method of killing wasn't something one would see in the military. The broadsword used by Liu Hu, the Sun family robber, had been well-reasoned, but now it was hard to see.

"Captain Xue, pay more attention to strangers on the street these days, such as those who always stay in one place and don't do business." Su Ze paused, "especially those who hang around Miweixuan and Baixianglou."

Xue Wu nodded as a sign of agreement, then thought, "The army will have to keep an eye on it."

"Also send someone to watch for strangers coming in and out."

Xu Yi was not interested in these things. He wanted to go back and check if there was anything wrong with the bodies.

"Why don't we keep an eye on Xiao Lan and see if there are any strangers who have been close to her recently? These people went to great lengths to kill Sun Shaohua and kidnap Sun Jiye, and now, by some strange mistake, a child has escaped. Who would believe it if I told them that?"

Master Cui pointed it out, but neither of them responded.

"Why, do you believe it?"

"Mrs. Sun seems to believe it." Xue Wu raised his eyes to look at Su Ze.

Su Ze also nodded, "I heard that he seemed to have done business with the businessman who saved Sun Jiye today."

"Doing business? What business does she have?" Master Cui didn't know about this.

Xue Wu then told Master Cui about Xiao Zongshan's banquet for Lin Rui and how he had bought all his medicinal herbs this morning. After hearing this, Master Cui felt that it made some sense.

"It feels like Lin Rui is coming for the Xiao family."

Su Ze had considered what Master Cui was thinking. But he always felt that before he could say anything, Xiao Lan would get angry and lose her temper with him. Before, she was just being unfriendly to him, but now she was not polite at all.

Su Ze was particularly curious about the character of that old friend who looked like him and who could make Xiao Lan hate him so much. It was as if there were many starting points on his body, all of which were gunpowder buried by this "old friend".

"Why don't you go and remind Madam Sun, sir?" Xue Wu said this with reluctance, without looking at Su Ze.

"You should go."

"Why are you being so polite?" Master Cui said suddenly, making both of them feel a little embarrassed.

"That businessman named Lin Rui is so handsome, I can't compare to him!" Xue Wu said in a deep voice, a little angrily.

Su Ze was speechless for a moment after hearing what he said, but Master Cui burst into laughter.

"Who asked you to participate in a beauty pageant? If you can't even win, who can you compete with? You are taller than the mountains!"

Master Cui's ridicule made Xue Wu's face turn red immediately. If he was not so dark that it could not be seen, Master Cui would have laughed at him a few more times.

"Master Cui, go and remind Madam Sun tomorrow morning!" Su Ze stood up and didn't want to say anything more. Sometimes, things that are out of control will make people choose to escape.

Master Cui looked at him without saying anything, then suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "Your cousin will be here tomorrow, right?"

Su Ze paused, his brow furrowed even more. He had thought they would arrive before the New Year, but he hadn't expected them to arrive so soon. He had said something about coming earlier so they could spend more time together and then go back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year together.

These words made Su Ze, who was already upset, even more upset. He did not answer Master Cui and walked away quickly.

-----------------

Xiao Xuan returned to the house with a depressed look on her face. Liu Yue knew Xiao Zongwen's attitude towards Xiao Xuan and guessed that she would run into trouble.

She wanted to comfort him, but suddenly she felt something was wrong with the rear window. Without saying a word, a flash of silver light came out of her sleeve.

A dark figure flashed in from outside the window, holding a silver badge between his fingers, and looked at him with sweat on his forehead.

Seeing who it was, Liu Yue burst into tears of joy. "Second brother!" Seeing her second brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she immediately rushed over to him. She cried loudly, "Where have you been? I haven't seen you for several days! Big brother is such a piece of shit, he doesn't even pay any attention to me!"

Xiao Xuan watched as Liu Hu embraced Liu Yue, his face pale. Xiao Xuan quickly stepped forward to pull Liu Yue away, but before he could say anything, Liu Hu punched Liu Hu in the chest.

"Why did you take so long to come back?"

The force of her punch was extraordinary; it actually knocked Liu Hu back, causing him to stagger and take a step backward. He clutched his chest and collapsed onto the couch without a word. Liu Yue was a little surprised by her own strength. She looked at her fist, which was wet and red.

"Second brother!?"

-----------------

Liu Yu looked at the man in front of him, who was not even as tall as his shoulders. However, the cold light in his eyes could not be hidden, as if he was about to take someone's life in the next second.

"Brother Xiaoqi, you're being too ruthless." Liu Yu was somewhat dissatisfied. After all, it was his own brother who was injured. He hadn't intervened just now because he wanted Liu Hu to retreat, not because he really wanted to kill him.

"Sorry, I'm used to it." Xiao Qi said sorry, but there was no apology on his face. He sat back in his seat and gnawed on a piece of lamb leg.

Lin Rui strolled out from behind the screen, looked at Liu Yu, smiled, and said calmly, "I held back. It's okay."
