However, if Queen Zhu can say this, it seems that she does not hesitate to tear her face.

I had to smile bitterly and said: "Since Queen Zhu is so defending, then I have nothing to say, Chang Yu, let me remind you, before the murderer is found, don't take a step out of the queen's bedroom, otherwise, you will be killed!" ”

With that, I turned around with the others.

Back to the guard room, just sat down and took a sip of tea, a guard came to report, saying that he found a set of clothes of the inner court guard in the corner of the garden rockery not far from the prince's bedroom, and the number embroidered on the inside of the collar of the clothes was ninety-nine.

Lao Fang is the guard who patrolled the palace of King Qin and found out that King Qin was assassinated for the first time.

I was also a little surprised, and hurriedly asked where Lao Fang was now, Guan Badao frowned and said: "Lao Fang is on the night shift, and he should have rested in the dormitory after the change of guard, because the situation is special, I want him to go to the Prince Zheng's side to help Lao Teng after breakfast, and now he should be in the Prince Zheng's dormitory." He turned to a guard next to him and said, "Well, Lao Du, you go to the palace of Prince Zheng to see the situation." ”

About ten minutes later, the guard Lao Du ran back in a panic, saying that Lao Teng hadn't seen Lao Fang at all, and everyone frowned, where did this Lao Fang go? Could it be that it was the old party who reported to the prince?

Just as he was wondering, another guard rushed in, saying that two corpses had been found in the well of the Yangxin Courtyard, one of which was Lao Fang.

Rub, Lao Fang actually died?

What did the murderer do when he killed Lao Fang?

Then I couldn't help but scold myself for being stupid, Lao Fang was the only witness at the scene, who would the murderer kill if he didn't kill him? I didn't think I would have ignored this, and it seemed that this series of events had caused me a lot of chaos.

He took two deep breaths and kept telling himself that you were just here to find the Nether clone, and this murder case was none of your business...... You're just here to find the Nether Clone, and this murder is your business......

After reading it a few times, my mood really calmed down a lot, and I remembered an article I read a long time ago, when you feel anxious, you might as well write down all the things, and then mark them one by one according to the priority, and the last one by one to think about countermeasures, this is called carding, commonly known as brushing up.

I immediately closed my eyes and pondered, and I suddenly found that in fact, things are very simple, there are only two things I have to do, the first thing is to find out the Netherworld clone, and the second thing is to find out the murderer of King Qin.

It seems that the matter of finding a netherworld clone can only be put aside for now, because King Qin and Qiao Wen are dead, and at the same time, the possibility that they are netherworld clones is ruled out. The remaining three suspects, except for Ying Zheng, Lü Buwei and Li Si were outside the palace.

And Chang Yu was sheltered by Queen Zhu, the crown prince was picked up, and the old man was killed, all of which were related to the assassination of King Qin.

A thought turned in my mind, why don't I wait until the dead of night to send a master to Queen Zhu's bedroom to catch Chang Yu? Immediately vetoed it, Chang Yu himself is a master, as long as he makes a sound casually, he can alarm Queen Zhu, and now the two of them are like glue, and there is almost no situation of being alone, well, this road is not passable.

As for the prince toad being picked up, it should be that we leaked the news internally, and at this point, the domineering Wan Yan and Long Kai are suspected, because they may all be the people of the prince toad, and wearing the clothes of the inner court guard does not mean that it is the inner court guard, it is very likely that the murderer killed the old party and then put on his clothes to take the prince out of the house.

Well, the most important thing to do right now should be to go to Lao Fang's corpse and see what clues there are.

Immediately, I wanted to take the domineering Wan Yan and lead people to increase the search for the inner court, and I took a shadow guard named Sun Chong to the place where Lao Fang's body was found.

This is an independent courtyard, push the door in, in the middle of the courtyard is a lonely well, next to the well are placed two corpses wearing only underwear, next to the well standing next to two guards guarding, see me come in, the guards stand aside after saluting.

I crouched down to look, and one of the corpses seemed to have been hammered on the head, so I couldn't tell who he was, and there was a very conspicuous bruise on his left leg, which seemed to have been hit by a heavy object. The other corpse didn't look like there were any injuries, this was the old man.

I saw that Lao Fang's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of surprise and disbelief. His eyes wandered up and down, but he still couldn't find any wounds, thinking that he might not be very professional, so he asked Sun Chong.

Sun Chong is really a lot more professional, he took off all the old Fang's underwear after dividing it by two, and looked carefully for the old man's armpits, chest, lower abdomen, etc., but he didn't find any wounds, he frowned and thought about it, took out the knife, shaved the old man's hair clean, looked for it on the old man's head for a while, his face changed slightly, and said to the two guards: "You go out first." ”

Hearing this, the two guards looked at me in amazement, and I nodded, "You go out first." ”

After the two guards withdrew from the courtyard, Sun Chong let out a sigh and pulled out a ten-centimeter-long steel needle from the middle of the top of the old man's head.

Seeing this steel needle, I gasped, damn, this weapon is also a little poisonous, looked at Sun Chong, but saw that his face was cloudy, and hurriedly asked him what was wrong.

Sun Chong hesitated for a while, and suddenly said, "Manager Wen, I'll discuss something with you." ”

"You say."

"Do you want to know who the murderer is?"

"Nonsense! You know? ”

"Yes!" Sun Chong nodded.

"Then you hurry up."

"You prepare four ingots of gold for me, and then send me out of the city, and when I leave Xianyang, I will tell you who the murderer of Lao Fang is." Sun Chong said in a deep voice.

Hearing Sun Chong say this, I was surprised: "This is no problem, but why don't you sue me directly?" If you really want to catch the murderer, there are few promotions or something? ”

Sun Chong shook his head and sneered: "Even if you know who the murderer is, you can't do anything to him, let alone be promoted to a knight at that time, if you don't do it, it will make my life difficult to protect." ”

After a while, I agreed to Sun Chong's request, and found Ying Zheng to inform me of the matter, Ying Zheng was overjoyed, and immediately gave me four ingots of gold, saying that he was waiting for my good news.

I didn't send Sun Chong to the outside of Xianyang City, but sent him to a crowded street outside the palace and stopped, and laughed in a low voice: "Sun Chong, it's okay for me to send it here, now that the king is killed, I don't know about it, with your identity as a shadow guard, it's no problem to go out of the city." ”

"It's okay, I'll tell you who the murderer is." Sun Chong took the gold and coughed lightly: "There are three top masters in Xianyang, the first is Hu Yiaxe, his real name is Hu Jin, and the famous weapon is a giant axe weighing one hundred and seven pounds, it is said that killing people has always been to split the opponent's axe into two, so it is called Hu Yiaxe, as for the other two masters, it is our captain Wan Yan and Chang Yu......"

I interrupted Sun Chong impatiently: "You can just tell me who the murderer is." ”

Sun Chong smiled: "The murderer is ......"

At this moment, a silver light streaked, and I saw a steel needle directly through Sun Chong's neck, protruding halfway from the other side of his neck, the steel needle shimmering in the sun, and a red bead of blood was slowly dripping from the tip of the needle.

Frightened, I turned around and raised my pistol in the direction where the steel needle was coming, and the pedestrians next to me didn't know what was going on, and they were still walking unhurriedly, and the crowds were surging, and how could they know who the murderer was.

Looking back at Sun Chong, I saw an extremely shocked look flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to tell me something, but a large amount of blood foam emerged from his mouth, and he muttered a few times, and fell to the ground with a bang, and died.

The pedestrians were suddenly frightened and ran to dodge, but fortunately this place was not far from the city gate, so I returned to the city gate, called a few city guards, and carried Sun Chong's body inside.

Although Sun Chong did not say the name of the murderer in the end, I think I already have the answer.

Momby, who else will this murderer be besides Hu Yiaxe?

First of all, he is the head of the three masters, with strong martial arts, and is fully capable of killing Qiao Wen and King Qin before leaving calmly. Secondly, his famous stunt is to split people in two with an axe, and weren't King Qin and Qiao Wen split in two? Also, if the murderer wasn't him, there was no need for Sun Chong to introduce him at all just now.

It had to be him.

When he returned to the guard room, he immediately summoned many guards to Hu Yiaxe's house in the north of Xianyang City.

——————————————————————————————

As the number one master in Xianyang City, Hu Yiaxe did not have the style of a master outside the world, but opened a martial arts hall at home and recruited disciples. The residence where he lived was also a high-walled compound, with two stone lions at the door, which was quite majestic, and eight majestic disciples stood guard at the door.

However, when they saw us menacing, the eight disciples immediately panicked, after all, we were palace guards.

One of the disciples trembled forward to ask what was going on, but I didn't bother to pay attention to it, and as soon as I gave the order, all the guards rushed up, knocking down the disciples at the door one after another, and rushed into the gate like a swarm.

Entering the gate is a martial arts training ground, the martial arts training ground is huge, there are hundreds of disciples fighting in Hohoha, but it is not crowded at all. A white-haired old man with a huge battle axe on his back and forth was pointing back and forth among the disciples, and when he saw us rushing in, the old man was also extremely surprised, and with a wave of his hand, his disciples stood behind him.

Walking forward, the old man clenched his fists and said, "May I ask which official is in charge?" ”

I secretly pulled out a pistol and hid it in my sleeve, and stepped forward: "I'm Vincy, the new head of the guard. ”

"Mr. Wen." Hu Yiaxe frowned slightly: "I don't know what you mean by bringing the guards to my martial arts hall?" ”

"What do you mean?" I sneered: "Old man, we already know what you are doing, quickly drop your weapon and follow me into the palace for investigation." ”

Hearing this, the disciples behind Hu Yiaxe were all clamoring loudly, and the momentum was quite amazing. Hu Yiaxe raised his hand to stop the noise of the disciples, and looked at me with flickering eyes, and after a while, he said slowly: "I take the liberty of asking, I don't know what is the matter that requires me, a common man, to enter the palace to investigate?" ”

I wouldn't have said that King Qin was assassinated, and sneered: "Hu Yiaxe, do you have the courage to admit it?" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and follow us into the palace, if not, the group will beat him. With a wave of his right hand, the guards behind him shouted and threatened.

Hu Yiaxe's face changed for a while, and after a while, he turned around and waved his hand: "You all go out!" ”
