"Oh, how could something like this happen. It seems to be a series of serial killings," Jin Hua analyzed gravely.
Su Yan nodded, "It must be a premeditated murder case, and if the killer hasn't been caught, I fear more women will die."
"Everyone is guessing that the killer only dares to kill women, so now all the women in the city are afraid to go out," Jin Hua shared the latest gossip she had heard.
"Where is the Marquis?"
"He went to the government early this morning," Jin Lan replied.
Su Yan suddenly sneered, "At this moment he is not visiting his beloved."
Jin Hua muttered to herself softly, what a time for the Princess to still be holding a grudge...
Su Yan had originally intended to stay out of these affairs, yet after two consecutive deaths, she felt somewhat uneasy.
Those women were innocent, to be so cruelly drained of their blood while alive was just too pitiable.
Perhaps she should do something to help catch the killer.
That day, Chu Yuxiao ordered the city gates to be closed and for a house-to-house search for suspicious individuals.
But by dawn the next day, another woman was found dead, and moreover, she was killed at home.
It seems that even staying indoors at night was dangerous.
For a while, Linglan City's escort agencies were in high demand, the wealthy hiring darts masters to protect their female family members.
Those without money had no choice but to sleep together in one room, not daring to sleep separately.
The government also posted a notice, stating that anyone who captured the killer would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and whoever reported the killer's whereabouts immediately would be rewarded with a hundred taels.
Su Yan could no longer restrain herself, this killer was truly brazen!
She changed into men's clothing and left the estate for the government office.
Outside the government office, a large crowd had gathered, almost all men, and they were all waiting for the latest news.
Su Yan squeezed in and went straight into the government office.
The government officials saw her striding in and immediately intercepted her, "Hey, you can't go in."
Su Yan opened her folding fan and said with a slow smile,
"I'm a friend of Marquis Chu, please go and report my arrival."
Seeing her expensive clothes and distinguished aura, the government official determined she was a noble young master and immediately went in to announce her.
