Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 92: The Lady Invites You (Part 2)
It was dark, damp and cold inside the rockery cave, and there was even the sound of dripping snow.
"Miss Lu..." Xu Zun bent over and made a discordant sound, "What do you mean?"
The reason why Xu Zun bent over was because the cave was too low.
The reason why Xu Zun made the discordant sound was because there was a sword at his throat.
Although he knew that the sword had not yet been sharpened, this feeling was still not normal.
"Xu Zun, the new judge of Tangzhou," Lu Mingyue's beautiful face was reflected in the dim candlelight, "It was you who ruined my plan, and you actually dared to come to see me!
“I have endured so many days in this cold and damp cave, and all my hard work has gone to waste!
"All this is thanks to you! Humph..."
"Ms. Lu," Xu Zun said without even raising his eyelids, "Don't you think your plan won't work at all?"
"Nonsense!" Miss Lu said angrily, "Do you know what my plan is?"
"It seems like this is no longer a secret, right?" Xu Zun said calmly, "You just want to use your disappearance to create a sensation, so as to urge the government to investigate the case of Lu Xiaofeng's family disappearance, and by the way, expose the 17 cases of beautiful girls disappearance at the same time?"
"Oh?" Lu Mingyue was slightly startled. "You are really not a simple person. Since you know that I have good intentions , why do you still want to disrupt my plan?"
"I just said," Xu Zun hung his head, "your plan won't work at all! Did you know that Lu Xiaofeng's bookstore has been burned down?"
"Ah? What did you say!?" Lu Mingyue was shocked and quickly drew back her sword. She asked anxiously, "The Lu family bookstore was burned down? Who did it?"
"So..." Xu Zun spread his hands and said, "You are making plans in the rockery, but you can't win outside the Marquis' Mansion. You don't even know who your opponent is. Do you think your plan will work?"
"you……"
Lu Mingyue took a good look at Xu Zun in the dim candlelight.
"If I'm guessing correctly," Xu Zun took out the blue book and said, "this book was left for us by someone you sent on purpose, right?"
"Oh?" Lu Mingyue opened it and looked at Xu Zun with even more curiosity, "You...you actually went to Qinglan Academy?"
"I could have found you yesterday, but I had to wait until tonight," Xu Zunyan said, "just to see if I could help you figure out the situation, but unfortunately, things have far exceeded my imagination!
"Whether it's the 17 cases of missing beautiful girls or the disappearance of Lu Xiaofeng's family, these are definitely not ordinary cases!"
“Oh… that’s amazing!”
This time, Lu Mingyue was completely convinced, and the look she gave Xu Zun was filled with a sense of recognition that they had met too late.
"You actually know everything," Lu Mingyue looked at Xu Zun in surprise, "You are indeed different from those incompetent people. No wonder you can become the chief judge of Tangzhou."
"Okay," Xu Zun pointed outside, "Now, can we go outside and talk?"
"Hey, hey, hey?" Lu Mingyue grabbed Xu Zun's arm and said, "No, I don't like those people outside meddling in this matter. Let's just have a good talk here!"
"Alas!" Xu Zun sighed and reminded, "Miss Lu, you are the daughter of a marquis. If we talk for too long, people outside will definitely be worried!"
"So what if I'm worried?" Lu Mingyue said nonchalantly, "Am I still afraid that you will do something to me?"
"..."Xu Zun was speechless and didn't even respond.
"Don't worry about them. I'll use this to talk to anyone who dares to come in!" As he said that, Lu Mingyue raised the shining sword and waved it in the air a few times.
hehe……
Xu Zun laughed in his heart. This little girl really has a strong personality.
"Well then," Xu Zun said, "In that case, let's hurry up and tell me what's going on, okay?"
"What's going on?" Lu Mingyue blinked her beautiful eyes, "Don't you know everything?"
"Then I have to listen to your story again," Xu Zunyan said, "What if there is a discrepancy?"
"Okay, okay..." Lu Mingyue found a stone pier to sit on and said, "It all started when Xiaofeng disappeared.
"Three months ago, she and her family suddenly disappeared. We had such a good relationship, if she left normally, there was no reason for her not to leave me a letter.
“So, I suspected that there was something fishy about her disappearance, so I asked people to look for her everywhere, but after searching for a long time, there was still no trace of her.
"I didn't give up, and sent people to search again and again. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. I didn't expect that in the past three years, Shangyuan City had experienced more than ten cases of missing girls, and the government didn't even investigate any of them!
"In a desperate situation, I had no choice but to make myself a missing person and use my identity to see if the government would stand idly by.
"My goal is to bring these cases to light and make them think that I am one of them. I hope they can thoroughly investigate Shangyuan City and find Xiaofeng's family and the missing girls!"
“Oh…” Xu Zun nodded silently and praised, “Miss Lu is so attentive, it’s really rare, really rare!
“However, I don’t understand, since you are the daughter of a marquis, why don’t you let the marquis come forward and let the government search for these missing persons?
"Have you... reported the case?"
"You don't know this. Although my father is a marquis," Lu Mingyue said, "a marquis has his own difficulties.
“It is a taboo to ask officials to solve cases and mobilize military camps. My father can only use his connections and personal connections to slowly find out.
"As for reporting to the police," Lu Mingyue said, "after Xiaofeng's family disappeared, I asked the housekeeper to report the case, but in the end, no response came to them and they didn't take it seriously at all.
"Of course, all of this was within my expectations. The government officials are really untrustworthy . They haven't found any of the missing persons, and they are so incompetent.
"Instead of asking them , it would be better to entrust Taoist Wei and ask his friends in the martial arts world to help..."
oh……
Xu Zun listened carefully, but he had many questions in his mind.
He felt more and more that the disappearances of these beautiful girls were becoming more and more strange.
Faintly, there seems to be some huge power controlling the overall situation from behind, making it impossible for people to get a glimpse of its secrets.
"How about it," Lu Mingyue said to Xu Zun, "Now that I have told you everything I know, what do you think?"
"Me?" Xu Zun said with a smile, "My mission has been completed. Do you have any other ideas?"
"As the chief judge of Tangzhou," Lu Mingyue said sternly, "you are responsible for the missing girl case in Shangyuan City!"
"What?" Xu Zun was surprised. "Miss Lu gave me an order?"
"You..." Lu Mingyue looked at Xu Zun with sharp eyes and said, "How about this, if you can help me find Xiaofeng, I will give you a reward!"
"I'm the chief judge of Tangzhou," Xu Zun smiled faintly, "Do you think I'm short of money?"
"Then what do you want?" Lu Mingyue looked annoyed. "I think you are so smart, so I'll give you a chance. Don't be ungrateful."
"Ha ha……"
Xu Zun laughed out loud. After all, Miss Lu was still a little girl. She couldn't even tell that he was joking with her.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Lu Mingyue shouted, "If you have any conditions, just ask!"
"Okay! That's what you said," Xu Zun pointed at the beautiful Miss Lu and continued to tease her, "If I can help you find Lu Xiaofeng, then you have to be with me... hehe..."
Xu Zun gave a wicked grin like a big bad wolf.
"Okay!" Unexpectedly, before Xu Zun could finish his words, Miss Lu clapped her hands and agreed, "That's up to you! As long as you can solve the case, I will become your brother and sister!!!"
I'm going to...
Xu Zun almost sprained his waist. When he saw a sly look in Lu Mingyue's eyes, he realized that this Miss Lu was not only smart, but also had an extraordinary emotional quotient...
