Chapter 641: Heavenly Curse
If Zhanzhao and the others were still investigating an old case before, then at this time, the case is obviously not as simple as an unsolved mystery...... There was a court official with a different head in front of him, and his death made this unsolved case complicated in an instant. %δΉ%ζ%novelWww.γ Wxs520.coM
Lord Yang, the squire of the military department, and several other important officers and members rushed over, and they were also shocked to see this scene.
Zhanzhao asked Cao Nan about his usual behavior, and everyone said that this person was very capable and had a calm personality, and the key was that Cao Nan's kung fu was also good! There were a lot of people coming and going in the compound of the military department just now, and the door of Cao Nan's study was still open, and the two officials and officials who sent him official documents had just left, and it was said that Cao Nan was still sitting at the table at that time. Why did you end up in a different place in a blink of an eye?
Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu were checking in the study, while Tianzun and Yin Hou were holding their arms and touching their chins, looking up at the "reverse painting" on the wall
The fourth son asked Xigulu, "Why is it reversed?" Is there a difference between this painting and painting right? β
Xi Gulu shook his head stupidly, he naturally didn't know, and asked Zhao Pu curiously, "Cauldron, it turns out that someone dies if you don't go to the battlefield." β
Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and patted the stupid boy's head, and he was speechless for a while.
On the side, although Bai Yutang was looking at the file on the table, he was thinking about Xi Gulu's words - he and Zhanzhao have been running around to investigate cases over the years, and have seen all kinds of bizarre cases, and sometimes the more foolish he is, the more he can hit the nail on the head - why? In addition to the battlefield, so many corpses can be seen.
"You didn't draw it by hand, did you?"
"What's not a hand?"
"It's not a pen, it's not a pen."
"The action was done so quickly? Painting saints! β
When Zhan Zhao and the others turned around, they saw Tianzun and Yin Hou arguing about something in front of the "blood" painting.
Although Tianzun and Yin Hou are often noisy and quarrel over a trivial matter, it is indeed very strange when you think about it carefully.
"If you draw it with your fingers, you don't leave any finger prints." Zhao Pudao.
"With a brush, it's really fast and neat." Bai Yutang also nodded, "And this painting feels a little strange." β
"What's strange?" Zhan Zhao came over and asked.
"Unless it is a two-stroke painting, the two paintings also have a first drawing and then a drawing, so the whole painting should be different." Bai Yutang said.
Everyone can understand what the fifth master said, if you draw from left to right, the left side will do it first, and the right side will dry it later, after all, blood is easy to dry up. But the wet and dry dΓΉ of this painting are almost the same, how fast do you have to paint to have this effect?
"No matter how fast you draw, you won't have any brushstrokes." Gongsun also found it incredible.
Everyone was puzzled, so they heard the little fourth son on the side suddenly say, "Isn't it brushing up!" β
Everyone was stunned, and looked down at the little fourth son, "Brush it up?" β
The little fourth son nodded, nodded, and dragged Zhao Pu, "On the day of Jiujiu, we made palace lanterns, and the plum blossoms were brushed up!" β
"Ahh Zhao Pu clapped his hands and remembered. That day, he made palace lanterns with the little fourth son, and the little fourth son had to paint a lot of plum blossoms on the white silk surface, each of which had to be the same size. He and Xiao Sizi were worried, Chen Xing'er came and took thick paper to cut a plum blossom mold for Xiao Sizi, as long as the thick paper was put on the silk cloth, and then brushed with color, the plum blossoms came out.
"Is there a mold brushed up......" Zhanzhao studied it, "Did you accidentally brush it upside down, or did it deliberately brush it upside down?" β
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, and always felt that after Xi Gulu came, the tone of the little fourth son's speech was taken away, and even the cat was led astray at this time......
"If it's accidentally reversed, it means that the person who brushed this picture may not know the meaning of this fishtail crossing?" Gongsun asked, "Or is it particularly careless?" β
"Carelessness reversed?" Zhao Pu sighed, "That killer is too vegetable......"
"This mold shouldn't be small, right?" Bai Yutang asked, "Can one person do it well?" There were no traces of nails around the area. β
"At least two or even three people are reliable." Zhan Zhao asked Yin Hou and Tianzun, "You two saw a person just now?" β
Tianzun and Yin Hou both nodded.
"Who ran out in front of the man?" Bai Yutang asked.
Tianzun and Yin Hou both shook their heads, "That person came out suddenly, and there was no one else in front and behind. β
The crowd looked at each other.
"So......" Gongsun looked at the officers and members of the military department gathered outside the door, "will the accomplice not leave?" β
"It's really easy to have someone to help." Zhan Zhao also said, "The problem is how to find out the accomplices. β
Everyone "brushed" and turned their faces to look at Zhanzhao.
Zhan's guards were nervous, "What are you doing?" β
"You don't have the most ideas." Yin Hou said, "Think about it!" β
"Uh......" Zhanzhao scratched his head lightly, looking at the more and more people gathered outside the door.
Bai Yutang saw that the corners of Zhanzhao's mouth suddenly raised, and he knew that this cat probably really had a bad idea.
"Ahem." Zhanzhao coughed lightly and beckoned to the squire of the military department.
Lord Yang wiped his sweat and came in, "Lord Zhan, do you have any clues about the murderer?" β
"Hmm." Zhan Zhao nodded and whispered a few words to Lord Yang.
A puzzled expression appeared on the face of the soldier squire, but since Zhanzhao said so, he nodded and went out to do so.
After a while, I saw that almost all the officers and members of the military department had gathered in the courtyard.
The squire of the military department asked everyone to stand in a row.
There were more than 40 people in total, standing in two rows, back to back, one row facing the courtyard gate to the south and one row facing the courtyard gate to the north, leaving a walkway in the middle.
The squire of the military department looks at Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao then nodded.
The squire of the military department said, "Everyone, put your hands behind your back!" β
The officials and officials looked at each other, and although they were confused, they still did so.
Zhan Zhao whispered a few words to Zhao Pu again.
Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows slightly and walked out.
Most of the officials & members here are not of low rank, and everyone may not listen to Zhanzhao when he speaks, but Zhao Pu is different, in terms of posing scores, except for Zhao Zhen, Zhao Pu is the most reliable. Don't look at this generalissimo of soldiers and horses in Kaifeng Mansion all day long teasing the fourth son and teasing the grandson, and being chased and beaten by the grandson every day, but for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, this is a terrible Shura, so everyone in the military department does not dare to come out.
Zhao Pu walked to the middle of the two rows according to the method taught by Zhanzhao, and said, "Your hands are all behind your back, you are not allowed to reach to the front, which one can be put in front of you, understand?" β
Everyone nodded their heads in understanding.
When Zhao Pu spoke, Zhan Zhao had already walked over, pacing behind those officials with his hands behind his back.
The squire of the military department also came over and asked Zhanzhao, "Lord Zhan, what are you looking for?" β
"Look at their sleeves!" Zhan Zhao said coldly, "Those with blood on their sleeves should be caught." β
After saying that, Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu began to pace behind those people.
Bai Yutang also walked over with the little fourth son.
After walking for a while, Bai Yutang gently patted the little fourth son and glanced at him.
Zhanzhao had already taught him just now, and the little fourth son immediately shouted, "That person has blood on his sleeve!" β
As soon as Xiao Sizi's words came out, he saw two people suddenly rush out of the team and rush towards the courtyard gate.
It's just that as soon as they ran to the door, they were slipped back by Tianzun.
Falling into the courtyard were two young officials & members, both of whom were Cao Nan's subordinates, and they often went in and out of Cao Nan's study, and these two people came to deliver the official document just now.
The squire of the military department told SΓΉ Zhanzhao that one of these two people was named Liu Yong and the other was Chen Ping, both of whom were Cao Nan's deputies and helped deal with official documents.
The two of them looked at each other, and both subconsciously looked down at their sleeves - but strangely, there was no blood on their sleeves.
The two were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at Zhanzhao at the same time and understood that they had been deceived!
Zhan Zhao is indeed a trick, this trick is so high that they put their hands behind their backs, and Zhan Zhao and they walked behind everyone, and none of them knew what was happening behind them! In addition, the little fourth son suddenly shouted, if there is an accomplice here, he will definitely help lift the "mold" just now, so much blood, who knows if it will be stained on the sleeve? I don't have an outerwear, and I can't keep my underwear. Most people who have ghosts in their hearts will choose to flee quickly...... So I didn't admit myself.
Everyone looked at Zhanzhao - sure enough, his stomach was full of bad water.
Zhan Zhao squinted slightly, curled the corners of his mouth on both sides, and went over to look at the two "accomplices" who were caught
The two were also honest, kneeling down and begging for mercy, saying that they were forced to be helpless.
Zhao Pu asked them, "What happened?" β
Liu Yong and Chen Ping said that when they returned home last night, they found that their young son had been kidnapped, leaving only one thing behind......
What remained in Liu Yong's house was a piece of skin, on which a pattern was carved out, which was the pattern of the fishtail crossing on the wall, which was what Zhanzhao called the "mold". And what Chen Ping kept at home was a brush.
In addition, both of them also received a letter, which said that tomorrow they only need to go to Cao Nan's room, paste the mold on the wall, brush it with Cao Nan's blood, and leave a blood map, and the task will be completed. They are responsible for burning both things, and that night, their children will return home, otherwise they will wait to collect their bodies.
Zhan Zhao and the others frowned, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder the painting brush was reversed, these two couldn't tell which side was positive and which side was negative.
"Is the thing still there?"
"Yes." Chen Ping trembled and ran to the side, moved a flower pot, and saw that under the flower pot, there was a roll of bloody skin and a blood-stained brush.
"Do you know who the murderer is?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"See, a man in black, masked, moving quickly and we didn't see it clearly." Chen Ping said, "As soon as we walked to the door, we saw him holding a scimitar, and somehow flashed out from behind Lord Cao, and then cut off the adult's head and put it on the table, and disappeared in a flash." β
Liu Yong also nodded, "When he left, I heard what seemed to be saying something in his mouth. β
"Say what?" And all the people looked at him.
"Heavenly ...... Heavenly porridge or something......" Liu Yong thought.
"Heavenly porridge?" Zhanzhao wondered, "What porridge?" β
"Seeing that big pool of blood, you shouldn't be in the mood to drink porridge, right?" Zhao Pu felt that it might be a bad hearing.
"Could it be a curse or something?" Gongsun asked.
"It's possible." Zhan Zhao opened the bloody skin and looked at it.
"If you draw it right, what is the effect?" Gongsun was curious.
Zhao Pu asked people to find a white cloth and brush the mold with ink.
After the painting was finished and the mold was removed, everyone looked at the picture, and they were all stunned......
"Like it?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang nodded, "Hmm! It's a painting hanging in the lobby! β
Zhao Pu also felt that things were a little suspicious, "Could it be that the other party wants to hint that the murderer is from Manji?" β
Zhan Zhao frowned, "Kill Cao Nan so coincidentally...... In other words, does Cao Nan really have anything to do with the case back then? Could it be that the conjecture of Rafale being jealous and killing people is really right?! β
