Seeing that Zong Xiu was hesitant, Li Shimin, Li Shiji, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin were all curious.

"What requirements?"

Zong Xiu looked at everyone in embarrassment: "I've been holding it all night and want to go to the toilet." ”

“……”

When Zong Xiu walked out of the gate of the secret prison of bad people comfortably, he found that today's Chang'an City was quiet, silent like an empty city.

"General Qin, what's going on?"

Jong-su is a little strange.

Qin Qiong followed Zong Xiu with a team of Shenwu Army, he was 'assisted' by Li Shimin's order, and to put it bluntly, he was also monitoring to prevent Zong Xiu from running away.

Hearing the question, Qin Qiong said lightly: "The assassination of the prince is not trivial. His Majesty was furious, and he was bound to arrest the murderer, and since last night, the entire Chang'an City has been under martial law. His Majesty said that the murderer will not be arrested for a day, and the martial law in Chang'an City will not be understood for a day. ”

"I'll go! Isn't it true that if the murderer is not caught for a day, the common people will not be able to go out for a day? It's okay to say that those who have food at home don't starve to death if they don't have food? ”

Zong Xiu felt that Li Shimin was crazy, and this was to force the people to death.

Qin Qiong sighed and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is also to prevent the people from harboring the murderer. But if the murderer had a little conscience, he wouldn't have watched the people of a city starve and freeze, maybe ...... He'll take the initiative to step up. ”

……

Zong Xiu looked at Qin Qiong speechlessly, and said in his heart: What kind of ghost logic is this? Is martial law to prevent the people from harboring murderers? Letting the people of a city starve at home is to awaken the conscience of the murderer?

Let's pull the calf!

Since the murderer dared to attack Li Tai and Li Chengqian, how could he stay in Chang'an after the assassination?

Besides, how many people can be killers with a conscience?

Zong Xiu shouted in his heart, 'Li Shimin is sick', although he also knew that Li Shimin was on fire in his heart and wanted to vent. After all, his son was killed and injured, so it's no wonder if he wasn't annoyed.

Qujiang Wharf.

When Zong Xiu and Qin Qiong came over in a carriage, the painting boat was still moored on the shore, and there were still a hundred and ten unscrupulous people standing around them with strong bows and crossbows to guard them.

Seeing Qin Qiong coming, the two bad captains Shangguan Fei and Lu Ming hurriedly stepped forward: "I've seen Hu Gong." ”

Qin Qiong waved his hand, pointed at Zong Xiu and said, "Your Majesty has issued an order for Honglu Siqing to investigate this case, and now I will take him to see the scene." ”

"Yes."

Shangguan Fei made a promise, led Zong Xiu and Qin Qiong towards the painting boat, and said as he walked: "Master Hou, after the murder appeared last night, we have searched the vicinity within a radius of thirty miles, and all the clues are recorded in detail on the file. ”

"This is the first scene of the murder, and the king of Wei and many of the dead were assassinated here."

"Some of the bodies floated down the river, and we also salvaged them. Including the King of Wei, there were thirty-six dead. ”

In Shangguan Fei's commentary, Zong Xiu entered the painting boat, and what caught his eye was a boat full of bloodstains, as well as many corpses lying on the ground.

This is the scene of the crime, and after the bad guys took over, except for transporting Li Tai's body back to the palace, the bodies of the others did not move.

Seeing the corpse for the first time, Zong Xiu inevitably felt a little nervous.

After all, it was a human corpse, not a cat or a dog.

The blood in the cabin had already dried up after a night's time, and although Zong Xiu covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, he could still smell the pungent smell of blood between his breath.

"Have all these people's bodies been examined? What is the cause of death? ”

Jong-su pretended to look around the cabin, but he didn't want to see the corpses on the ground.

"Back to the Hou Ye, they were all blocked by a sword, and they were killed by a sword."

Shangguan Fei said truthfully.

"Huh? Another sword to seal the throat? ”

Zong Xiu was speechless. Didn't Cui Xianwen and the Scarface guard also be killed by someone with a sword two days ago?

"What about His Royal Highness King Wei? Is it also a sword to seal the throat? ”

Zong Xiu asked.

Shangguan Fei thought about it for a while and said, "That's not it. Thinking that the assassin appeared at that time, the guards of the Wei Wangfu desperately escorted the King of Wei back, so the King of Wei was a sword in the back. A sword pierced through the chest, and he lost too much blood and died. ”

"A sword in the back? Excessive blood loss? ”

Zong Xiu's face changed slightly, and he quickly said, "What about His Royal Highness the Prince?" Also assassinated on a ship? ”

Although Li Shimin gave Zong Xiu the file of Dong Xuancheng's investigation, Zong Xiu never had time to read it, so he asked.

Shangguan Fei said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated on the way back to the house, the location is not far from here, why don't you take the Hou Ye to have a look?" ”

Zong Xiu shook his head and said, "You don't need to look at it, you just talk to me." ”

Shangguan Fei is one of the bad people Tiangang Captain, and he also has unique skills to be able to do Tiangang Captain. Seeing Zong Xiu's question, Shangguan Fei clapped his hands directly, and the bad guys who were on duty outside walked in.

"Go and bring me the picture I made."

"Yes."

The bad man made a promise and walked away quickly, and when he came back, he was already holding a roll of paper.

Shangguan Fei took the paper, opened it and said, "Master Hou, this is a small painted murder scene, which records the location of each corpse in detail, as well as the cause of death and the location of the wound. ”

After Qin Qiong glanced at the scroll, she looked at Shangguan Fei's eyes with approval. He had seen the place where Li Chengqian was assassinated yesterday, and the picture scroll was exactly the same as there, and even the location of each person's arrow was marked.

Zong Xiu stared at the scroll for a while, and suddenly asked, "The killer on King Wei's side uses a sword, why does the assassin on His Royal Highness the Prince's side use a bow and crossbow?" Isn't it two different waves of assassins? ”

"This ......"

Shangguan Fei hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, in fact, the little one also guessed so. But this is only speculation, and no one can prove that they were two different waves of Assassins until there is conclusive evidence. Just ......"

Shangguan Fei looked left and right, as if he was about to say something. Qin Qiong shouted directly: "It's about the prince, why can't you say it!" Say! ”

Shangguan Fei said at this time: "Regarding the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Wei, Xiao has always had a bold guess. It's just that the big marshal thinks that this guess is too bold and doesn't let the little ones talk nonsense. Saying that this will mislead the direction of the investigation, and if it is serious, it will lead to trouble. ”

Zong Xiu and Qin Qiong asked at the same time, "What are your guesses?" ”

Shangguan Fei said: "Actually, the villain thinks that the assassination of the crown prince and the king of Wei this time is not only the two waves of assassins who are their masters, but also the two waves of assassins related to the dignitaries of Chang'an City. ”

Shangguan Fei said vaguely, and as he spoke, he opened another picture scroll and put the two pictures together.

"Lord Hou, please look, this is the place where King Wei was assassinated, that is, the painting boat where we are. This is the place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated, and the distance between the two places is only two or three miles. ”

After speaking, Shangguan Fei lowered his voice and said, "Master Hou, you should understand what these two or three miles mean. ”

Zong Xiu nodded: "Don't say it's a quiet night, it's a day in such an open place, as long as you shout loudly, the sound can be heard for two or three miles." It is impossible for two waves of assassins to assassinate at the same time, and when one of them does an assassination, the sound of fighting and shouting will inevitably spread, giving a warning to the other side. ”
