Chapter 185: Palm
The rain brushed away, and a fire suddenly lit up in the night of the capital, as if burning a hole in the darkness.
The bluestone pavement illuminated by the fire was shining, like a mirror, and Song Yuan, who was surrounded by a group of people, slipped under his feet, and the guards next to him did not let him fall, Rao is so Song Yuan was also very annoyed.
"What kind of rain in the middle of the night! It's raining before March!" he scolded, reaching out and pressing his arm and hissing twice, "This damn arm, this damn God." ”
There were already seven or eight people standing in the yamen of the Criminal Department, and they saw Song Yuan coming to greet him.
"What's going on?" Song Yuan pushed them away and stepped into the hall, "Didn't you say that you didn't find out who killed Duan Shan first, and send those who came to complain first?"
Untie the tarpaulin, sit down, and someone brings hot tea.
Song Yuan took it and drank it, but he was scalded again, and there was a little chaos in the hall.
"Don't do that. Song Yuan pushed away the person who wiped the tea for him and said, "Don't you know what is most important now?" Wang Lieyang, Chen Sheng, Lu Yan, the three old guys are staring at each other, no matter what, they can't let them turn over those old cases, it's not that they are afraid that Duan Shan will be convicted, it doesn't matter if Duan Shan is dead or not, he himself knows and doesn't care..... The most critical thing is. He lowered his voice and looked solemn, "I can't let them perceive the purpose of those old cases." ”
In the past eight or nine years, Duan Shan has handled mostly things related to the investigation of Emperor Baozhang, if it is turned out by the ministers of the court, then it will be bad if the truth about the former emperor and empress is exposed.
A few people standing in the hall nodded in response, and of course they were people who knew the inside story when they could stand here now.
"It's not about the murderer of Chaduanshan. One of them whispered, "It's because I found it over there." ”
Duan Shan's body was pulled back and not buried, but handed over to the body, which was his habit before his death, turning the corpse upside down and looking at it, saying that the dead can also speak, which is more convenient than interrogating the living, because the dead do not lie.
Now that he's dead, he's naturally being treated like that.
Song Yuan said, "What did you find?" Without waiting for this person to answer, he continued, "Have you told your grandfather?"
Although he is the secretary of the Criminal Department, there are some people and things in the Criminal Department that he cannot decide, such as Duan Shan and his torture investigation case, not everyone can know before Qin Tangong knows and speaks.
Song Yuan naturally knew this, and immediately followed the sentence after asking.
"Tell. The man said, looking a little hesitant, "It was Duan Shan who left..."
There was a stumble of footsteps outside.
"Grandpa is here. ”
Song Yuan rushed out, and the words that the man was about to say swallowed back, and hurriedly followed out.
......
......
The torches were bright, but the room was still dark, perhaps because there were all kinds of torture tools and strange instruments such as knives and axes, all of which were wiped clean and neatly arranged, but the clean ones shone with a cold light, which made people feel cold.
On a long table was a corpse, the head and body next to each other, but clearly disconnected.
"Grandpa, slow down. Song Yuan stretched out his hand and said.
Qi Xiu had already squeezed out of him and stepped in first, looking indoors, this was the first time he came to Duan Mountain, and it felt different from what he imagined.
"It was so clean. He said.
The two servants standing in the room responded, "Lord Duan's habit." Although Master Duan was gone, everyone still subconsciously followed, so as not to anger him.
This habit is really perverted, Qi Xiu's eyes fell on Duan Shan's corpse, and said, "What did you find?"
They all knew Duan Shan's injuries, they were very simple, clean and neat, the main wounds were in the throat and neck, and then the arms and feet were poked.
He looked at Qin Tangong, who was standing over, and said, "Grandpa, please take a look." He stretched out his hand and raised Duan Shan's right hand and aimed it at Qin Tangong head-on.
Song Yuan and Qi Xiu both looked intently, and under the light of the torches, Duan Shan's blue and white palms appeared.....
Are there any scars? No, the two of them are a little puzzled.
He pulled Duan Shan's fingers slightly behind him and said, "Look at your fingers." ”
Fingers: There are still five fingers, the length is staggered, the slender knuckles are thick, and the knuckles are folded...... The knots are extraordinarily numerous and messy, and they are thin and crooked.
"Lord Duan's handprints are different from ordinary people. Song Yuandao looked down at his hands, "Is this a talent?"
"Nope. Qi Xiu suddenly shouted, and his body instantly went numb, "That's, word!"
What the.... Song Yuan asked puzzled.
"Cyan. "Qin Tan is fair.
Green?
Song Yuan stared at him in horror and looked at it again.
Duan Shan's hand was held firmly in front of him, and the messy lines on his fingers gradually blurred and became clear, and a word suddenly jumped out.
Green.
"What.... Huh?" Song Yuan muttered.
......
......
The torches were blazing inside, and the figures in the room swayed on the ground.
"At that time, Lord Duan didn't notice the blood on his body, and then he thought that he was injured on his hand, until he scrubbed it clean, and today the wound coagulated and he didn't notice anything wrong. He said, stroking the thin scars on Duan Shan's fingers, "This is not a wound left in the assassination, it was quickly written by Lord Duan himself with his thumb nail before he was attacked and died." ”
Piercing his finger with his thumb nail to write a word, Qi Xiu subconsciously put his hand at his side and imitated this action, he felt that he couldn't do it, whether it was martial arts or mentality.
The instinct at the moment of death is to survive, especially for a person with kung fu, all the strength is exhausted, how to use the strength in the palm of the hand to write.
It takes to be calm to do so, monster.
"Adults should know who killed them, or found something important, so leave this message for Grandpa at the moment of death. "Excuse me.
Qin Tangong stepped forward and looked at Duan Shantuan's palm in front of him.
"Duan Shan has a beginning and an end to everything. He said, stretching out his hand to caress the void, and the calmly open eyes on Duan Shan's head closed instantly, "Dead people can really speak." ”
"He's talking about the person who kills people, and it's related to Qing?" Qi Xiu said, "Or there's a green character in the name?"
There is a blue letter in the name......
"Xue Qing!" Song Yuan shouted, his voice echoing in the dark room, with anger and excitement, "I just said that the murderer was that Xue Qing! Duan Shan just stared at him and checked him, so he killed him." ”
Qi Xiu frowned, it was possible to say so, but ..... That Xue Qing, a thin boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, killed Duan Shan, not to mention.....
"When Duan Shan died, he didn't leave people's sight at all, and there are witnesses. He said, "The people in Duan Shan also confirmed that he talked about composing poetry with Kang Dai at that time, and then went to Jiang Xian's house, whether it was Jiang Xian's people or the guys who listened to Yulou, they could confirm that he was indeed composing poetry at that time." ”
Song Yuan said: "Whatever, grab it and ask first." ”
Qi Xiu said: "First of all, he has alibi evidence, and it is the ministers of the court who testify to him, arresting him will inevitably cause an uproar, if it is not him, wouldn't it expose us? ”
At that time, everyone present in the listening rain building was registered on the roster.
Song Yuan said: "Oh, it's slow to die." Pacing a little anxiously in the room, he urged, "Go check it out." ”
Qi Xiu's mind was also restless, looking at Duan Shan's corpse on the long case, the dead man could speak, but unfortunately there was only one sentence, and there was no answer to the question.
"It's not that he doesn't answer, it's that you're asking in the wrong way. "Qin Tan is fair.
