Chapter Twenty-Six: The Clue Is Interrupted

The abandoned temple in the deep alley, the wind and the cold snow, and the bushes of torches shine around one person.

That person was handsome with a hawk-nosed appearance a moment ago, apricot eyes and a wide nose at this moment, and a foreign appearance a moment ago, and at this moment he was like a great person!

Who is this person?

Where is Priest Le Dan?

"He's Priest Le Dan!" Twilight Qing said in a shocking voice, "At least he is the one who came all the way with the envoys and the people who are at the palace banquet tonight." ”

The Wuhu envoys traveled to Shengjing with the Holy Driver and the Northwest Army, and traveled along the way for nearly a month, and Twilight would check the procession every morning before the Holy Driver's departure, and although he had not spoken to the priest of Le Dan, Boudjang, he could be seen every day. It's not just him, it can be said that she knows the demeanor and demeanor of the Wuhu envoy in her heart, and the person in front of her at this moment is the Ledin priest she saw along the way, and there will be no mistake.

"But he ...... He's a fake! Lin Meng couldn't speak, and he was shocked.

"Who are you, and when did you replace Priest Le Dan?" Twilight asked again, but she didn't expect the man to answer.

This person really smiled mockingly, looked at Twilight Qing and said, "I really didn't expect that after hard work, once it failed, it would be planted in your hands." ”

As soon as this remark came out, Twilight was slightly stunned, not only because of what he said, but also because of his accent, which was still a bit of a Ledan.

Yuan Xiu stepped forward and lifted this person up, and said, "You are not ashamed to be planted in her hands." Tell me, who are you, when did you replace Priest Le Dan, and what are you doing? ”

This person's eyebrows and eyes look like a Daxing person, but he may not be a Daxing person, or a Nantu person, to find out how he pretended to be a Ledan priest, you must first find out where he is.

"I said I could live?" The man's face was frosty white, but there was no fear in his eyes, and he only asked with a sneer.

"You can die a happy death if you say it." Yuan Xiu didn't deceive him either, and said honestly, "But if you don't want to say it, I don't think Daxing and Le Dan will be able to tolerate you." ”

"Huh!" The man smiled, laughed bloody, mocking, pathetic, resolute.

Twilight Qing suddenly felt bad when she saw it, but Yuan Xiu was holding the person, and she was unable to make a move for a while, so she only said, "It's not good!" He's going to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he only heard a poof, and the man squirted a mouthful of black blood in front of Yuan Xiu!

Yuan Xiu's eyebrows pressed suddenly, his face was biased, and the blood grazed his ears and sprayed behind him, and an official of the Five Cities Patrol Division was holding a torch, and he was coldly sprayed with black blood all over his face, and the man suddenly howled miserably, the torch fell to the ground, and he rolled in the snow with his face covered.

The people around them scattered with a cheer, and heard the man howl incessantly: "My eyes! My eyes! ”

No one dared to approach, only took a torch to shine it, and saw that the man was rolling in the snow so badly, black blood flowed from his fingers, and he was blinded by poison!

Yuan Xiu was furious, and the hand holding the man's shirt shook his chest! The man spurted out another mouthful of blood, mixed with the sound of broken bones, and when he hit the temple wall, he only heard the masonry collapse, and the man smashed into the temple and crashed into the opposite temple wall, and the wall suddenly cracked into a net, and the man slid down from the wall, lying in the snow and not moving.

The voices of the people in the alley were silent, and it seemed that the miserable howls of the officials patrolling the five cities were becoming more and more terrifying.

"Send it to King Jin quickly, and be sure to ask King Jin to save his life!" Yuan Xiu threw the name card to the commander of the Five Cities Patrol Division and strode into the temple.

He took the man by the collar and dragged him over, and saw that the man's face was covered with snow, his lips and jaws were covered with black blood, his mouth and tongue were rotten, the moonlight was as cold as water, and his teeth were white.

The man has his eyes open, but he is dead.

Yuan Xiu's face was calm, if he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been the one who was blinded by the poison. This person is also going to harm people before he dies, I don't know if he wants to pull a cushion, or if he deliberately came at him?

This fake Leosan priest ...... He died like that!

Lin Meng led the crowd to follow, took a torch to shine a photo, and when he saw the man's death, he suddenly felt terrible.

"Master Hou, this, this person is dead, how is it good?" Lin Meng asked.

He was in the Xingcao Hall tonight, and he was told that he had caught the real murderer who had poisoned him, and it was already a shocking thing that the murderer was the priest of Le Dan, who knew that it was a fake in the end, and now that the person is still dead, how will it end?

"Not good!" Twilight spoke suddenly.

Yuan Xiu raised his eyes to meet her gaze, his face suddenly changed, and said, "Hurry back to the prison of Cao!" ”

Lin Meng and Shengjing Mansion Yin were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they saw Yuan Xiu taking the twilight, tiptoe a little volley, gusts of wind blowing in the temple, the two of them had gone away like a big peng, facing the wind and snow, and after a while, they were covered by the snow and night.

At this time, the two of them reacted and said urgently: "Quick! Fast! Back to prison! ”

The commander of the Five Cities Patrol Division personally led people to send the poisoned officials to the Jinwang Mansion, Lin Meng and Shengjing Mansion Yin took the rest of the people and the generals of the Northwest Army to rush to the prison of Xingcao, and the body of the fake Ledan envoy was carried behind and followed, and the group hurried back.

Prison of Torture.

The oil lamp dimmed, illuminating a dead body in the cell door.

The dead body was untouched, hanging naked from the beam, facing the prison door, its tongue sticking out, snotty and salivating, staring at the door, the whip marks could be seen on Bai Huahua's body, the flesh was turning, the blood blurred the front body, and the incontinence feces and urine flowed down the roots of the legs and stained the back of the body. The dampness of the prison, the bloody smell of the dead bodies, and the stench of the dead were mixed together, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Yuan Xiu raised his hand to block Twilight's eyes, Twilight Qing slapped his hand down, and said coldly, "Open the door!" ”

The cell boss was so frightened that he was trembling, not by the dead man, but by the great god Yuan Xiu who suddenly went to the prison of Xingcao, but there were still dead people in the prison. The person who died was none other than the cook of the inn, the suspect in the poisoning of the Leden envoys!

The cell key couldn't be held steadily, and after poking the keyhole a few times but not opening it, Twilight snatched it up, opened the cell door herself, and untied the sable big sable and handed it to Yuan Xiu before entering the prison door.

Yuan Xiu wanted to stop her, and he was afraid of upsetting Duqing, seeing her in the prison and looking up at the naked corpse, he rolled up his sleeves after looking at it for a while, Yuan Xiu's eyelids jumped, and he turned around and glared at the cell head, saying, "Put people down!" ”

The cell head was stared at by this iron-like gaze, and he couldn't take care of the dirty cook of the inn? I hurriedly went outside and moved a stool, and stepped on the stool to put the person on the ground.

The ground was covered with rotten grass, and Twilight squatted down to examine the neck groove of the dead body, which was in the shape of a figure of eight, but it was very uneven. She touched the saliva from the corpse's lips again, lifted her hand to open the corpse's lips and looked at the teeth, pulled out the thread from between the teeth, and then got up and inspected the stone bed in the lower cell, the grass on the bed was dry, but there was some rotten grass in one place, and there were drops of blood around it.

After seeing it, Twilight turned around and said, "Hang yourself, you've just been dead for half an hour." ”

That is to say, after Lin Meng retired from the court, he hanged himself when he returned to prison.

"Are you sure you hanged yourself?" Yuan Xiu asked, he believed that she would not be wrong, so he asked just to find a topic, so that he would not always think about whether she was facing a naked corpse or a male corpse!

"Sure." As she spoke, Twilight untied the rope that hung from the beams of the room, and said, "The rope used to hang himself is the clothes of the deceased, and he tore them into strips of cloth, and he tied them into ropes, and there is a thread of his clothes between his teeth, which can prove that he himself tore his clothes into strips of cloth." ”

Twilight shook the thread that had been lifted from between the dead man's teeth and shook it far away towards Yuan Xiu, and there was still some blood on it.

Yuan Xiu looked at it intently, and just wanted to smile bitterly, she really couldn't tell that it was a woman when she performed the autopsy!

Twilight walked over to the stone bed again, drew a circle in one of the spots, and said, "Here, he's stepping on the rope he threw on the beams of the house." The stone bed was covered with hay, but here there was some rotten grass, which was damp to the touch and had some wet mud, just like the rotten grass on the ground, indicating that it was left behind when he stepped on it and threw ropes. And there were drops of blood all around him, and he had just finished his torture, and the blood from the whiplash had not yet coagulated, and he was naked on this stone bed, and the blood naturally dripped onto the bed. ”

"There was nothing in the prison where he was hanging, but the rope was hanging not far from the edge of the bed, and wet mud and rotten grass were found on the edge of the bed, indicating that he was stepping on the edge of the bed when he hanged himself, and as soon as he kicked his feet, he was hanged up." Twilight Qing came back from the side of the stone bed and pointed to the corpse to show Yuan Xiu, "The ditch on the neck of the deceased is a figure-eight mark, which resembles a horse's hoof, which is consistent with the characteristics of the ditch of self-hanging; The groove is above the Adam's apple, consistent with the tip of the tongue sticking out of the mouth; The width of the ditch is uneven, because the rope used by the deceased to hang himself is a strip of cloth torn from his clothes, which is soft and will fold or twist when stressed, resulting in uneven width of the ditch. These are consistent with the characteristics of self-hanging, and the deceased had nasal discharge, salivation, and incontinence, so it is certain that he hanged himself. ”

As soon as the body was found, it only took a while from the time Twilight entered the cell to the time the autopsy was completed, and the cause of death became clear. The cell boss listened to it outside, his eyes straightened, and he looked at Du Qing, and saw that she was wearing a fourth-grade military general's robe, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

He has been a cell leader in the prison for more than ten years, and it is common to see an autopsy, but he has never seen one that can be examined so quickly, and the autopsy is still a general! Look at this official robe, there must be four grades!

I heard that there was a small general in the Northwest New Army who returned to the DPRK and was promoted, and he was promoted to a fourth-rank military attache after half a year in the army, could it be this person?

The cell boss guessed, shocked in his heart, and then heard Twilight ask, "Are the officials in the post house held in solitary confinement?" ”

"Ah, no!" The cell boss was stunned, and hurriedly replied, "Because the people in the kitchen and the people who sent the buns to the Ledin envoy's house were more suspicious, and they inevitably colluded in confessions, Master Shangshu ordered them to be held in solitary confinement." ”

Yuan Xiu frowned deeply when he heard this, and on the way to the prison of Xing Cao, he thought that he had helped the other party to leave the mountain tonight, and this retreat, the other party would definitely kill the poisoner in the post house. When he saw that the person was really dead in prison, he suspected that someone had bought the prison officials to kill the person and fake the hanging, but he didn't expect that it was really self-hanging!

The cook of the post house hanged himself, and the fake Ledan's envoy also took poison and died, isn't the black hand hidden behind this case impossible to find?

At this time, there were chaotic footsteps outside the prison in a hurry, and after a while, Lin Meng and Shengjing Mansion Yin arrived, and when they saw the situation in the prison, both of them were smoked to cover their noses, and Lin Meng was even more shocked and asked: "This, this...... Is it really murderous? ”

"Hang yourself." Yuan Xiudao.

"Huh?" Lin Meng was surprised.

Twilight glanced at him, came out of the prison, and said, "Now, the clue to this case has been broken. ”——
