Chapter 136: Seven Steps of Laughter
A row of corpses, seventeen corpses.
Zhen Feng gave an order: "Strip these corpses naked, and then turn them over." ”
Landing and his four guards took matters into their hands and stripped the corpses from the capital. The people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department sneered and watched the play, and some covered their noses. Fortunately, it is cold now, and the corpses decompose slowly, so the smell of corpses is not obvious, and these people are more of a natural reaction to corpses.
"Everyone, please see, these seventeen corpses are people who practice martial arts, and they all have strong bodies, look at their muscles, how good ......"
"Could it be that that's all you let the old man see?" The man who shouted and bet to retire said: "Your Excellency, this is obviously nonsense, although the subordinates are old, but they are also conscientious in this position, and now they let a hairy young man toss like this." ”
Chen Qiao's face was embarrassed, and he said to Zhen Feng: "Brother Feng, if you find anything, you might as well say it directly." ”
"Don't you think there's something wrong with their figures? Looking at the world, most people are hungry and cold, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and people who can wear fine clothes and food disdain to practice martial arts, so what kind of people can have such a strong body? At least they have no worries about food and clothing, and often even have meat to eat. Dare to ask Mr. Chen, as well as all the adults, can the guards in your house have such a good treatment? Are they all that strong? ”
Yu Gang reacted first and said, "This ...... Mr. Zhen's words are really inspiring. I hadn't noticed anything unusual before, so it's a bit unusual. Such a figure, whether it is in the lower mansion or in other adult mansions, is not common. ”
Chen Qiao couldn't help but nod as well, and said, "That's true, the guards don't train much on weekdays, and it may take years of practice to have such a figure." ”
Yang Wei pointed to the corpse and said, "This kind of figure is also the best among our guards." Their arms, arms, and legs are strong, and they must have practiced a lot on weekdays, and even have weight-bearing training. ”
The people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department also frowned a little at this time, and Fan Tong asked rhetorically: "What's the use of having such speculation?" ”
"Rice bucket-sama, I wonder if you know what a brain is?" Zhen Feng laughed and said: "In the entire Tang Kingdom, what kind of people are treated like this, who can eat every day and train with weights every day?" ”
Yang Wei said with special cooperation: "In addition to the army soldiers, there are also martial arts, dart bureaus, warrior monks and the like. ”
"By the way, there are so many people, if they are hidden in the streets and alleys, how can they practice every day? So is it possible to narrow down their identities? ”
Chen Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally understood why Zhen Feng swore that no abnormality was the biggest abnormality. The autopsy report is indeed normal, but there is indeed no correlation and speculation on the commonality of the seventeen corpses. He looked at a few of them, ignored their seemingly embarrassed faces, and asked Zhen Fengdao, "Who do you think these people are more likely?" ”
"Warrior monks are impossible, they are not bald donkeys. If it is said that martial arts, dart games and the like, it is also possible, and if you want to further confirm their identity, you have to look at another characteristic. ”
"What are the characteristics?"
"Look at their shoulder blades, their legs, their hands, and their feet, all of them are calloused. Do you see any difference in this cocoon? ”
It's just a cocoon, many farmers and craftsmen have cocoons, what's abnormal? Yang Wei already regarded himself as Mr. Zhen Feng's excellent assistant, and carefully leaned over to compare and study, and said: "None of the cocoons of these corpses are newly ground, but more are repeatedly ground in the same position. These cocoons ...... The little one seems to have seen somewhere...... By the way, it's soldiers, they wear armor and train with weights, and it's easy to grind out such cocoons. The little one had been in the military formation many years ago, and he had also trained in this way, and these positions often grinded out cocoons, but compared to these people, he was ashamed of himself. ”
Zhen Feng nodded and said, "In other words, nine times out of ten, these people are people in the army. Next, Mr. Chen may have to be troubled to order a thorough investigation into whether there are any military personnel who have disappeared recently. ”
Fan Tong stood up again, after all, he was already standing on the opposite side of Zhen Feng, and he had to question to the end: "There are so many troops in the world, it is possible that they have sneaked from other countries." ”
"Lord Rice Bucket is a good question, but now whether it is sent by other countries or the soldiers of my Tang Kingdom against water, isn't Lord Rice Bucket saying this is equivalent to admitting our reasoning, and also admitting that the previous so-called no abnormality is nonsense?"
"This ......"
"A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and face up to the blood. The so-called knowing mistakes can improve the great way, Lord Rice Bucket, and all of you, as long as you are sure that the previous conclusions are not detailed enough, and there are still problems, then today's reasoning will end here. I don't want you uncles to retire because of this, but you still have skills. So that's all for today, and the next step is confidential, so please come back. But it's okay to go, if the word gets out tonight, no one here can escape, so you can do it yourself. ”
Unexpectedly, just halfway through the new round of autopsy and reasoning, Zhen Feng issued an eviction order. Fan Tong was the most embarrassed, because his questioning became an identification with the other party, and others seemed to want to refute it, but Fan Tong, who was the highest grade at the moment, had already unconsciously admitted it, and not admitting it was dissatisfied with him.
A few pretendrants wanted to say something, but what the other party said had already blinded them, which seemed to make sense, but did it have anything to do with them? It's just reasoning.
Seeing this, Chen Qiao gave an order to dismiss all these people. These people only need to know that there are people from other countries who are here to commit murder, and it is enough to know that the army is involved, and it is not appropriate for too many people to know about it further down.
In the conference hall, Chen Qiao looked at Zhen Feng and asked, "Boy, what else do you see?" ”
"Sir, look at their legs and feet, there are many scratches. Just now, Lao Deng and I checked that these scars should be scratches from tree branches, and it can be speculated that they often shuttle and train in the mountains and forests. ”
Zhen Feng pointed to the face of the corpse and said, "And here, the poison they have in it." The servants checked that they died of poison, but Lao Deng carefully compared it just now, they died too quickly, and those with wounds died faster, which is not the effect that poison can achieve. But that night they moved too fast, and the two bodies had no arrow wounds, and there were small wounds. So this is supposed to be a poison with poison and arrow poison, and the throat is sealed with blood, in fact, I gave it a name, called 'Seven Steps of Laughter'. ”
The milky white juice of the poison wood contains highly poisonous, once it comes into contact with human and animal wounds, it can paralyze the heart of the poisoned person, seal the blood vessels, coagulate the blood, and even suffocate to death, so people also call it "seeing blood and sealing the throat". Therefore, there is a folk saying, called "seven up, eight down, nine to the ground", which means that if anyone is poisoned by the poison of arrows, then he can only walk seven steps to the high place, and he can only walk eight steps to the low place, but in any case, when he reaches the ninth step, he will fall to the ground and die.
Chen Qiao didn't care about Zhen Feng's cold humor. He still heard of poison arrows. This poison is so ruthless, it ranks first among poisons, and it is simply inhumane. Chen Qiao pondered for a long time and said, "As far as the old man knows, this poison is not only found in remote places in the southwest, but also in the royal family of the Song Kingdom. ”
