Chapter 110: Clues
On the other side, Chen Hanyu and Lan Yiting were still hiding in the trees and watching.
"There is a situation!" Lan Yiting saw the flickering firelight in the distance, kicked his feet, and jumped down from the tree.
Less than a moment after they jumped, a beggar disciple hurriedly ran past not far in front of them. Lan Yiting moved and came to him, and without waiting for the disciple to react, he directly asked, "What happened over there." ”
"Elder Yun died, and the reason is unknown. The disciple replied quickly, and was about to run forward again.
"Stop!" Chen Hanyu snorted softly, and soon came to the disciple, stared into the disciple's eyes and asked, "What is your name?"
"Monkey," the disciple replied, "they sent me to inform Elder Fang. ”
"Monkey ......" Chen Hanyu said silently, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Okay, you go back! ”
"This ......" the monkey's face was a little hesitant, "why bother Lord Chen......"
"It's not troublesome," Chen Hanyu smiled, "Anyway, I'm also a friend of the Gu Gang Master, and this little thing is not enough to worry about." ”
"Yes, it's great to have Lord Chen's help. The monkey bowed deeply to Chen Hanyu, and then turned to leave.
Looking at the back of the monkey leaving, Lan Yiting frowned slightly: "Why did you let him go?"
"It's useless to keep it. Chen Hanyu said, "Fang Chengjun must have a lot of preparations, even if this disciple doesn't report the news, he will get the news soon." ”
At this time, if there is a clear-eyed person beside him, he will definitely be able to hear the meaning of Chen Hanyu's words. They decided that Fang Chengjun had a problem, but they couldn't find evidence for a while.
"You really chose to start tonight...... Chen Hanyu's face was slightly gloomy, "Isn't he just looking down on us?
"Anyway, let's go back and see it first!" Lan Yiting nodded, and the two quickly disappeared from the gate.
At this moment, Zhen Yingying continued to monitor some of the situations around Yi Shao's residence, staring closely at the disciples who came and went, and secretly noted the number of disciples who came and went.
"Sister You, they're here!" Ding Jianling on the side suddenly said.
In fact, there is no need for her to say, Zhen Yingying has also seen two figures rushing towards this side, and they are already standing in front of the door of Yi Shao's residence at this time.
After glancing at each other, You Qingshang and Ding Jianling jumped out of the roof together, their figures flashed, and soon they came to You Gu and the others.
You Qingshang had just finished listening to a disciple who had already arrived to report on the situation here, and when he saw Zhen Yingying and the others coming, he hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything abnormal?"
"Only five people have been in and out of the front door, and no other suspicious figures have been found. Ding Jianling shook her head and said.
At this time, Chen Hanyu and Lan Yiting also came over. Hearing that there were no suspicious people coming or going, both of them moved their brows slightly.
"How did Elder Yi die? Are you sure he was killed by someone?" Lan Yiting directly asked one of the three disciples who had been guarding the door before.
He asked if there was a reason for this disciple, and he had heard it just now, and this disciple was the second person to enter Elder Yin's room after his death, and he should have known about it for a little longer.
"Being stabbed in the back of the heart with a sharp weapon should be something like a dagger. The disciple replied.
"Should it?" Chen Hanyu stared at the disciple tightly, "So, you haven't seen the murder weapon. ”
"I haven't seen it. The disciple replied.
A gust of wind sounded, but Fang Chengjun hurried over. Seeing Chen Hanyu and the others, he didn't say a word, and walked towards the door.
"Elder Fang~" Chen Hanyu suddenly stepped a little, and his body immediately appeared beside Fang Chengjun, "I'll go in with you." ”
Fang Chengjun glanced at Chen Hanyu and nodded: "Okay!" But he didn't say anything else, and continued to walk towards the front, while Chen Hanyu followed closely beside him.
Stepping into the red door, Chen Hanyu could clearly see that a door was open, and looking inside from the outside, he could also see a person standing there.
The man turned around, first greeted Fang Chengjun and Chen Hanyu, and then said, "The elder is inside to inspect Elder Yi's body. ”
The elder who was inspecting in this disciple's mouth was no longer a nine-bag elder, but an eight-bag elder. There are about thirty such eight-bag elders in the beggar gang, and their distribution is extremely wide, and some of them even stay in remote areas, and even the disciples of the main altar may not know all of them.
"Hmm. Fang Chengjun replied and walked into Yi Shao's room.
On the floor of the room, a man dressed in white was lying on the ground, his body long gone. Its feet were naked, and a large blood mark spread from the mouth of its heart, staining many places on its clothes.
There was a middle-aged man in his thirties standing beside him, and after seeing Fang Chengjun, the middle-aged man first bowed his hand, and then said: "It has been investigated, it is the heart and veins that have been damaged, and he died of excessive blood loss, and it is only half an hour from now." ”
When the elder explained the situation, Fang Chengjun stared at the corpse on the ground, silent, not knowing what he was thinking, while Chen Hanyu looked around the entire room to see if he could find any clues.
"Are the meridians damaged?" Fang Chengjun suddenly asked.
The elder shook his head: "The meridians are not damaged, so it seems that they are not fighting with people." ”
"Have the windows on both sides been locked all the time?" asked Chen Hanyu suddenly pointing to the window on the left.
From the angle from which he stood, he could see four windows on the left and four windows on the right. The window is a frame made of wooden strips, and there are some wood carving patterns in the middle, and the hollows are pasted with window paper, and with Chen Hanyu's superb eyesight, it can be seen that there is no damage to those window papers.
"Yes, no one has touched these windows. The elder said.
Chen Hanyu studied the windows on both sides again, the middle of the windows was connected by a small iron bolt, and there was a nail at one end of the iron bolt, which should be used to fix the window from being opened by outsiders.
With a slight frown, Chen Hanyu turned to look at the door again, and then observed the surrounding decorations. Judging by the strength of his own top-notch quality, it seems that there is no suitable way to lock the window from the outside with the help of a tool such as a thin line.
"Are there any other windows in this room besides these windows?" asked Chen Hanyu.
"This ......," the elder understood what Chen Hanyu meant, "there is a small window behind the screen over there, but there is an old tree in the center, and the gap left by the window is not enough for one person to pass through." ”
"Then is there a secret passage in this room?" Chen Hanyu asked again.
"No, ......" this time Fang Chengjun replied, "With my understanding of Yi Shao, he wouldn't make this kind of thing in the room, and besides, this is the general altar of the beggar gang, who will arrange the mechanism in the room?"
In other words, the murderer could only go out through the door. Chen Hanyu said calmly.
"It should be this reason. Then Elder Eight Bags replied.
At this time, Fang Chengjun didn't speak again, and it seemed that he didn't have any questions to ask. Just stood quietly and listened to Chen Hanyu's conversation with the elder, as if he himself was air.
"The disciples outside said that it was a janitor disciple who first discovered Elder Yi's body. Chen Hanyu said again, "Where is that disciple now?"
"I asked the monkey to inform Elder Fang. The disciple who was guarding the door of the room said, he was the leader of the four gatekeepers.
"Monkey?" Chen Hanyu's eyelids jumped when he heard the name.
"I heard from the disciples outside the door that there was a mess of lights, and I thought something was wrong, so I rushed over immediately. Fang Chengjun saw Chen Hanyu looking at him, and couldn't help explaining: "As for the disciples who came to report, I didn't meet them on the road. ”
"I've met monkeys at the front door with the Blue Catcher. Chen Hanyu said, "Since he is the earliest eyewitness, the top priority is to find him immediately, and then I want to ask him some information." ”
Fang Chengjun nodded: "Since Chen Zhuan has a request, I will send a disciple to inform him to come back now." ”
As soon as the words fell, several people's hearts moved, and they looked at the door of the room, and it turned out that Wei Fangfei came in from the outside.
"Hanyu, let's go out and talk. Wei Fangfei didn't seem to have any intention of coming to inspect the situation, just glanced at the corpse on the ground, and called Chen Hanyu out.
Chen Hanyu nodded and said to Fang Chengjun: "I'm sorry." ”
"Let's go!" Fang Chengjun did not stop.
Chen Hanyu was also refreshed, turned around and walked out of Fang Chengjun's sight with Wei Fangfei. And less than a moment after they left, the Eight Bags Elder hurriedly came to Fang Chengjun's side.
"Elder Fang, do you think those boys can be trusted?" asked Elder Eight Bags.
"Without evidence, how can it be credible or not...... Fang Chengjun said lightly, "All along, they haven't made a move on the bright side, in order to avoid being involved in right and wrong, but the more this is the case, the more suspicious it is sometimes." ”
A trace of inexplicability flashed on the face of the Eight Bag Elders: "Could it be that Elder Feifang thinks that they are the mysterious people behind the scenes?"
"Elder Ben has already said that without evidence, don't just blame others. Fang Chengjun said, "Now the monkey is a clue, as long as you find the monkey, everything can be asked clearly." ”
"Yes! The subordinates will send someone to retrieve the monkey. Elder Eight Bags said.
"It's too early to do that. Fang Chengjun suddenly looked at Elder Babao seriously, "Since we have already said that the monkey is the key person, then we must find him as soon as possible, if something happens to him......
"Elder Fang means that the monkey may be poisoned by them?" Elder Eight Bags' face changed.
However, when he saw Fang Chengjun's cold gaze, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates know their mistakes, and I ask the elders to forgive their sins." ”
What a shrewd person he was, through Fang Chengjun's gaze, he soon realized that he had once again made the mistake of drawing conclusions without evidence. So hurry up and ask for sin.
On this side, Chen Hanyu and the other eight people avoided the place where the beggar gang disciples gathered and found a clean corner. Chen Hanyu arranged a formation around him, and then everyone began to discuss the assassination.
"Judging from the shape of the corpse, it was only stabbed in the back, and its meridians were not damaged in the slightest, and there was no sign of poisoning. Chen Hanyu said his observations, "The strength of Yi Shao is not strong, it is probably the middle and lower reaches of the top middle grade." If you can stab him in the back and kill him, the murderer must at least have the strength of the highest grade. ”
"Is it possible to commit suicide?" asked Gu Yuxing, she didn't have any experience in this area, she just instinctively asked what she wanted.
"Whoever commits suicide will stab a knife in his back. Wei Fangfei chuckled, "Besides, how could Elder Yi suddenly commit suicide if he is so dignified." Even if he is one of those behind the scenes, he commits suicide in fear of sin, and he can't choose such a point in time. ”
Yang Xiaocheng turned his gaze to Chen Hanyu: "Brother Hanyu, when you entered Elder Yi's room, did you feel the breath of the formation?"
Chen Hanyu shook his head: "The entire courtyard has been completely dismantled, and I don't feel the breath of other formations. ”
He said that he suddenly remembered something, and turned his gaze to Zhen Yingying and Ding Jianling: "You just said that from the time of Elder Yi's accident to the time period between our arrival, there were only five people in and out of Elder Yi's residence?"
Zhen Yingying nodded: "As long as you enter and exit from the door, you won't miss it." ”
"That's not what I meant. Chen Hanyu shook his head, "What I want to ask is, is there anyone who carries some relatively large items when they go in and out, such as boxes or something......
"Thinking too much!" Wei Fangfei raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chen Hanyu and said, "Isn't it too conspicuous to bring a box or something for no reason?"
Of course, Wei Fangfei knew what Chen Hanyu meant, and hiding in the box might be a good means. But for no reason, an abrupt box appears at the scene of the killing, which is sure to attract everyone's attention.
Chen Hanyu smiled a little embarrassedly, secretly mocking himself that he might have read too many novels, why did he always like to think about those aspects.
"However, Brother Hanyu, your statement reminds us. Wei Fangfei suddenly added, "The number of people may not be biased, but who exactly entered and exited the Elder's residence may not be believing. ”
"Yi Rong?" Lan Yiting and Chen Hanyu thought of this at the same time, the two of them glanced at each other, and almost at the same time shouted a name: "Monkey!"
"Monkey?" Yang Xiaocheng was stunned.
"Do you mean the disciple who guards the door?" Ding Jianling knew who the monkey was.
"We met that disciple. Lan Yiting said, "At that time, we thought about it, he didn't want to report to Fang Chengjun, but wanted to escape." ”
"And the monkeys still entered the elder's room one by one, so it is really possible that he is the poisoner. You Qingshang nodded to herself.
"It wasn't the monkey who did it, but the murderer who pretended to be a monkey. Chen Hanyu corrected.
"So, from the very beginning, the monkeys we saw were no longer real monkeys. Ding Jianling kind of figured out the key to this.
"No~" Zhen Yingying shook her head, her brows furrowed.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhen Yingying said, "If the monkey was fake from the beginning, how could Elder Yun not find out." ”
The crowd was silent. Zhen Yingying makes sense, others may not be able to discover the true face of the monkey, but as the owner of the monkey, Yi Shao often stays together on weekdays, if there is anything abnormal about the monkey, it is impossible for him not to notice it.
After a long silence, Wei Fangfei said faintly: "In this way, there is only one possibility. The monkeys that enter are real, and the monkeys that come out are fake. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and that was the only result they could draw from the clues.
And at this moment, Wei Fangfei suddenly slapped his hands on the table and stood up: "According to what you say, the real monkey should still be in Elder Yi's residence." ”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it woke everyone sitting at once. Their eyes lit up at first, and then their faces quickly changed. I only heard Lan Yiting whisper: "Oh no......"
Yes, they were negligent. Because during the time that the eight of them left the residence of the monkey, the murderer had enough time to secretly transfer the monkey to another place, thus cutting off this extremely important clue.
