Chapter 566: Murder

Leng Qing's "sparrows" raised their hands to remove the white cloth covering each corpse.

The first thing that catches the eye is the corpse of the "hound".

From the first day of entering the Criminal Department, every arrester was ready to die at any time, which was determined by the profession of the Criminal Department.

Of course, "Hound Dog" was no exception, but he died in such a daze, which made Leng Qing both surprised and regretted.

Leng Qing looked at the corpse of the "hound dog" and introduced to a few people around him: "He is my subordinate, he was ordered to squat in the backyard of the gambling house, and then suddenly lost contact with me. ”

"Who did it?" Wei Xianyun frowned and said, "It's too bold to dare to attack the people of the Criminal Department!" ”

Leng Qing analyzed: "It should be the shopkeeper Zhao of the gambling house who did it, and he took out a dice from his body, and the dice penetrated his heart." Last night, we saw the power of Zhao's shopkeeper's dice, and it also made us suffer a lot. ”

Ouyang Jian's method of marrying the enemy is indeed clever, even Leng Qing has been concealed, and he would actually think that the "hound" died at the hands of Zhao's shopkeeper.

The Sparrow then lifted the white cloth from the second corpse.

"Huh?" Lu Wuji, who was behind Wu Yanxiu, couldn't help but exclaim.

The corpse under the white cloth was actually the shopkeeper Zhao, his face was black and purple, his face was hideous, and he had long lost his signature smile.

Leng Qing said lightly: "During the fight last night, a masked man came to answer Zhao's shopkeeper. That person's martial arts skills are extremely high, so I can only watch the shopkeeper Zhao escape. Who knows, early this morning, on the side of the street not far from the gambling house, his body was found! He had already experienced it, he was poisoned and died! ”

After listening to Leng Qing, Lu Wuji understood why Zhao's shopkeeper's face turned black and purple, and it turned out to be poisoned and died.

"Poisoned to death?" Wei Xianyun seemed a little puzzled.

"That's right, he died of poisoning!" Leng Qing nodded: "I took out two steel needles that were shot into from the front door of the shopkeeper Zhao, and the steel needles were coated with poison, which is an extremely domineering poison, and it is estimated that the shopkeeper Zhao will only take a few minutes from being shot to death." ”

Wei Xianyun said strangely: "Mr. Leng catches the head, didn't you say that after the masked man appeared last night, Shopkeeper Zhao left. So, after he left the gambling house, he was killed not far away, who killed him? ”

"That's what I want to know!" Leng Qing said.

When the "sparrow" uncovered the white cloth on the third corpse, Liu Zheng behind Wei Xianyun couldn't help but exclaim like a cat with its tail stepped on: "What's going on?" ”

The corpse turned out to be Guo Liang, the master of the hall brought by Liu Zheng this time, and he hurriedly uncovered the white cloth on the corpse, and it was Jin Cheng, another master in the hall.

Liu Zheng had long lost his former composure, and did not hesitate to remove the white cloth that left the two corpses.

The faces of the two corpses were very unfamiliar, and Liu Zheng was sure that he was not from the Vermilion Bird Sect, which made him feel a little more at ease.

Liu Zheng was relieved, but Liu Yang's face sank, and he stared at Leng Qing with an angry face and asked, "Chief Catcher, how did they die?" You've got to have an account! ”

Liu Yang was very angry, the fifty people he brought were all sergeants in the ten thousand cavalry, and two of them died inexplicably, how could he explain when he went back?

"The four bodies were found from the edge of the fence in the backyard of the gambling house, and two of them were shot with crossbows!" Speaking of this, Leng Qing waved his hand and said, "Take it!" ”

The "sparrow" held two crossbows and placed them next to the corpse.

"These two crossbows are the standard equipment in the Tang Army, and ordinary people will not have them!" Speaking of this, Leng Qing stared at Liu Yang and said, "I wonder if any of the people brought by Chief Manager Liu carried a crossbow?" ”

At this time, Liu Yang had to admit: "That's right, the person I brought does have a crossbow!" ”

Liu Zheng said viciously: "The surname Liu, count you ruthlessly, let's settle this Liangzi, let's see!" ”

Not to be outdone, Liu Yang said: "Even if my people have crossbows, how can it be proved that they killed the people of the Vermilion Bird Gate?" Besides, the two of them are also dead, who should I settle this account with? ”

Wei Xianyun's heart moved, and he asked Leng Qing, "How did the two people brought by Steward Liu die?" ”

Leng Qing said lightly: "A person has a judge's pen in his chest!" The other person was smashed in the head by a vigorous technique! ”

Liu Yangyin said compassionately: "As far as I know, your two subordinates, one nicknamed 'Iron Pen Judge' and the other nicknamed 'Tablet Opener', the people I brought were killed by the people of the Vermilion Bird Gate, you won't admit it, right?" ”

The facts are there, Liu Zheng can't deny it at all, and besides, he doesn't want to deny it either, so he said with a brutal face: "It was done by the Suzaku Gate, how are you doing?" Next time I'll ......"

"Shut up!" Wei Xianyun spat out two words from his mouth.

Wei Xianyun said very plainly, but in Liu Zheng's ears, it was not like a thunderclap, and he closed his mouth in interest.

"These four people seem to have died together, but they are ......" Speaking of this, Wei Xianyun looked at Leng Qing, "One pair was shot with a crossbow while their heads were smashed, and the other pair was shot and killed with a judge's pen at the same time, leaving no room for each other to die at the same time." Dare to ask the chief catcher, based on your years of experience in handling cases, can this kind of thing happen? ”

Leng Qing muttered: "It stands to reason that this kind of thing can happen, but in fact, it is basically impossible to happen!" ”

Wei Xianyun smiled slightly: "So, after I judged that these four people were killed, I disguised the scene again, the purpose is to arouse our mutual suspicion!" ”

Leng Qing listened to the "sparrow" and instructed: "Let the servants of Youzhou Mansion come over and re-examine the autopsy!" ”

Sparrow nodded and turned to leave.

Wei Xianyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Chief Catcher, have you ever heard of Tiansha?" ”

Leng Qing was stunned in his heart, Tiansha's nest was in Youzhou, and he only knew about it, but he didn't expect Wei Xianyun to actually get the news, it seems that the efficiency of the Vermilion Bird Gate to find out the news is no less than that of the Criminal Department.

Leng Qing nodded and said, "I've heard of it!" It's a mysterious killer organization! ”

Wei Xianyun analyzed: "As far as I know, the main figures of the Tiansha organization are all entrenched in Youzhou, if I guess correctly, this Zhao shopkeeper should be the killer of Tiansha!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian sighed, Tiansha thought that he was cleverly hidden, but he didn't know that the other party had already figured out their details.

Leng Qing had already had such a guess in his heart, and he asked quietly: "Mr. Wei, do you mean to say that the people of Tiansha have hidden the waste prince?" ”

"I'm just guessing!" Wei Xianyun pondered: "Mr. Leng catches the head, think about it, the shopkeeper of a gambling house will be a master of hidden weapons, if he is not a killer, why would he hide his identity." Also, after you reveal your identity, you will not be allowed to enter that room at any cost, knowing that resisting the investigation of the criminal department is a capital offense. If it weren't for the abolition of the crown prince, I really can't think of any reason to let him do such a crazy thing! ”

Leng Qing nodded slightly, Wei Xianyun's analysis was indeed very reasonable.

Lu Xiaoxian whispered a few words to Wu Yanxiu.

Wu Yanxiu nodded and said to Leng Qing: "Chief Catcher, can you let us go and see that secret passage, maybe we will find something!" ”

Wei Xianyun also chimed in and said, "What Huan Guogong said is, can the chief catcher take us to have a look?" ”

Leng Qing took a few of them to the room they entered last night, pushed the bronze mirror away, and entered the secret passage.

The exit at the other end of the secret passage turned out to be under a rockery.

Leng Qing introduced: "This is the back garden of a green building in Youzhou City, the green building is called Zangfeng Pavilion, about thirty or forty steps away from the backyard of the gambling house. I called the shopkeeper of the Tibetan Phoenix Pavilion to ask, and he said that he never knew that there would be a secret passage here. Last night, Shopkeeper Zhao and the masked man blocked us to the death, presumably to buy time and let people escape from the secret passage with the waste prince. It wasn't until they left safely and gave the signal that the masked man calmly left! ”

Wei Xianyun suddenly asked: "Chief Head Catcher, you said that the masked man's martial arts are extremely high, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, how is that person's martial arts compared to Chief Leng Hunting?" ”

"Much taller than me!" Leng Qing admitted frankly, not feeling ashamed at all.

"That's right!" Wei Xianyun pondered for a while before he said: "Chief Catcher, it seems that Tiansha is not easy to deal with, if the Chief Catcher believes it, the subordinates I brought can work for the Chief Catcher!" ”

Wu Yanxiu said on the side: "If there is a place that can be used by Wu, the head catcher can just speak, and Wu can also do his best!" ”

Leng Qing hugged his fists to the two and said, "Leng has thanked the two of you here." ”

Lu Xiaoxian's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "I know where the waste prince is hiding!" ”

"Where?" Leng Qing, Wei Xianyun and Wu Yanxiu asked in unison.

"It must be hidden in Master Lin's mansion!"

"Master Lin's mansion?" Leng Qing asked strangely, "How do you know?" “

"Same as him, guess!" Lu Xiaoxian pointed at Wei Xianyun.

Wei Xianyun said with interest: "Tell me, how did you guess?" ”

"In Youzhou City, Master Lin collects everyone's money, but he doesn't accept Zhao's shopkeeper, which shows that their relationship is not ordinary! Since Shopkeeper Zhao is a kind of heavenly person, Master Lin must be too! ”

Wei Xianyun shook his head and said, "This reason is a bit far-fetched, is there anything else?" ”

"Of course!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a heart: "There are forty or fifty steps from the backyard of the Good Luck Gambling House to the back garden of the Zangfeng Pavilion, this secret road must not be dug in a day or two, if it is said that without the cooperation of the Zangfeng Pavilion, this thing will definitely not be possible." Think about it, if someone dug a secret passage in your back garden, you might not know about it? ”

Wei Xianyun stared at Lu Xiaoxian strangely: "It's possible what you said, but what does this have to do with Master Lin?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled: "Of course it matters, because this Tibetan Phoenix Pavilion is Master Lin's property." ”

Leng Qing and Wei Xianyun didn't speak, thinking carefully about what Lu Wuji had just said.
