Chapter 140: Confusion
Zong Xiu was really popular, originally he thought that the case had not been cleared, even if Dong Xuancheng brought him to 'assist in the investigation', he would not dare to snub him.
It's good now, put him in prison, don't ask anything, forget if the bedding eats and drinks, and let him solve it on the spot, when he is a pig and a dog?
Outside the cell, Dong Xuancheng summoned two bad people and ordered: "Wait here and watch, no matter how the Hou Ye inside shouts, don't take care of him, as long as he doesn't die." ”
"Dashuai, this is not good." An unscrupulous person pointed to the cell nervously: "After all, he is the head of the Heavenly Sect and Shilin given by His Majesty himself." If this news reaches the Shilin, the saliva of those scholars will be able to spray us to death. ”
Another bad guy also said: "If you don't give him a mattress, you can't be punished anyway, so why bother to hate him and make a grudge." ”
Dong Xuancheng's eyes widened: "What do you know!" What Ben Shuai wants is that he can't see hope in it, and only in this way can he break his inner defense, and it will be convenient to ask at that time. ”
"But ......"
The two bad guys wanted to talk about it again, but they were scolded back by Dong Xuancheng.
"Let you do what you want, where is this nonsense! Isn't it the Heavenly Heaven Sect? If the murder is found to be related to him, even the identity of the Tianxia Sect will not be able to protect him. ”
"Yes."
The two bad guys hurriedly agreed.
After Dong Xuancheng scolded his subordinates, he rushed to Qujiang with people in a hurry.
The case came out too quickly, and there are still many clues that have not been investigated clearly. When he received the tip-off, a boatload of people was dead, and many bodies had drifted down the river.
This is all a clue in Dong Xuancheng's eyes!
The shape of the wound of any corpse, the look of the eye before death, and even the shape of the wound position are the key to the investigation in the eyes of the detective.
Among the dead is also the prince, Dong Xuancheng, as the commander of the bad guys, naturally knows the urgency of the case, and he wants to collect all the clues that can be collected before His Majesty's thunder rage. At that time, even if the murderer cannot be found, the punishment will be mitigated in the face of His Majesty's accountability.
In Chang'an in late autumn, the night was dark and windy, and Dong Xuancheng stepped up all the way and went straight to Qujiang.
Although it was the second half of the night, both sides of the Qujiang River were still full of unscrupulous people with torches and lined up in columns. They collected ropes all the way along the river, so careful that they searched through the grass, the ground, the branches, and the stones.
In the icy river water, there are dozens of deep water bad people who continue to ventilate and then dive to the bottom.
Two unscrupulous men dressed in black and gold-rimmed outfits are giving orders, urging their men to look for possible clues.
When Dong Xuancheng arrived, the two bad lieutenants hurriedly greeted him.
"Dashuai."
"Dashuai."
Dong Xuancheng's face was gloomy, and he asked coldly, "Have you found it?" ”
"This ......"
The two bad guys are in a rut.
"Say!"
Dong Xuancheng shouted.
The lieutenant on the left hurriedly said: "If you go back to the commander, we have searched back and forth several times, and we only found the bodies of some fallen soldiers. ”
"Where's the Assassin! I'm asking about the Assassins! ”
Dong Xuancheng was furious.
The Captain of the Bad Guy on the right whispered, "Except for a few scattered footprints, no trace has been found that can trace the assassin." And ......"
"And what?"
The bad guy lieutenant on the right thought for a moment before he said, "And we found that the assassin was on the way to assassination, and the killing was orderly, as if it had been arranged in advance. ”
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Dong Xuancheng took a deep breath, he was also a notorious Jiangyang thief back then, and he knew that there was no perfect crime in this world. Even the most clever assassin will leave clues when committing crimes.
It's just that those clues may be very small and hidden, and it depends on whether the person investigating the case can find out.
Dong Xuancheng glanced at the painting boat moored by the river, and jumped over to check the corpse on the boat again.
Li Tai's body had been sent to the palace, and there were only a few unlucky soldiers on board, as well as the guards who had died protecting the lord and the subordinates of the Wei Palace.
The two bad lieutenants followed behind with lanterns, and they didn't dare to come out.
"No, no."
Dong Xuancheng muttered to himself while examining the corpse.
"What did you find out about it?" The two lieutenants hurriedly asked.
Dong Xuancheng pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "These servants of the Wei Palace's palace were among the best in the army, but how do you see the difference between their corpses and those scholars?" ”
The two unscrupulous lieutenants had already seen the corpses, and each said: "Dashuai, according to Xiao Xiao's observation, they all died to protect the King of Wei and defend against the assassins, and they had a fierce fight with the assassins before they died. ”
"Really? Have you had a fight? Dong Xuancheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he casually picked up the saber of a dead guard and said: "If there is really a fierce fight, why are there no gaps in these weapons, is it possible that the assassin's swordsmanship is so superb that the guards don't even have a chance to collide with each other?" ”
"This ......"
The two bad guy lieutenants were silent.
It stands to reason that iron swords have extremely thin edges, but whenever a sword collides, it will leave traces of collision on the edge, and there will be gaps of different sizes on the blade.
However, all the swords of the dead guards on the entire boat were intact, and none of them were notched.
"Commander, maybe it's because the assassin is so martial artistic, and these guards may be killed as soon as they draw their swords."
"I don't think so." Dong Xuancheng shook his head, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Have you checked the sword of His Royal Highness the Prince's guard?" ”
Dong Xuancheng has read the file: tonight's attack, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were assassinated at the same time, the only difference is that Li Tai died on the painting boat, while Li Chengqian met the assassin on the way back to the prince's mansion after leaving the painting boat.
The location of the assassin's assassination was not far from the painting boat, which was only two or three miles away.
The bad guy lieutenant next to him immediately replied: "If you go back to the big handsome, you have already checked, the four guards were all killed by arrows, and I heard from the brothers in the palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also hit by several arrows." ”
"Really? That's weird. Dong Xuancheng's brows furrowed into the word 'Chuan', and he muttered to himself: "If the assassin is really a superb swordsman, why should he hurt people with secret arrows?" All four guards were hit by arrows, and the assassin was not alone. ”
"Commander, maybe the assassins are two groups of people. One side assassinated the prince, and the other side assassinated the king of Wei. ”
"No, there must be something wrong."
Dong Xuancheng shook his head firmly, he always felt that there was something wrong with this assassination, but he couldn't think of it, so he said immediately: "Order all the bad people to salvage the bodies along the river, and then check them door to door." The Assassin did not leave a clue on the shore, and must have fled after the assassination. Let everyone ask me one by one! Find me inch by inch! If necessary, you can be tortured and strictly interrogated! Be sure to find the spot where the Assassins landed! ”
"Yes!"
The two bad lieutenants made their promises, and suddenly thought of something.
"Dashuai, the ...... of Jiangjia Village"
