Chapter Eighty-Six: One After the Other
The night is like ink, and it falls into the city of Kyoto.
The lights of every house are bright, like a dazzling color, and it is strangely prosperous.
Pingyi Palace, Wang Changgeng's family of three, happily gathered at a table and ate dinner.
After Wang Jia came back from the Shizi Mansion, she kept her face flushed and looked shy, and Wang Changgeng and the princess kept looking at it in their eyes.
Wang Changgeng smiled proudly and asked Wang Jia jokingly.
"Jia'er, can my father choose the person he likes this time?"
Wang Jia was asked this question, and immediately filled her pink cheeks with a few layers of shyness, and she was about to turn red to the root of her ears.
"Father made fun of Jia'er again, I'm full."
Wang Jia threw down her chopsticks and slipped back into the boudoir.
The princess on the side shouted eagerly.
"Jia'er, let's eat some more!"
It's a pity that Wang Jia has disappeared.
"You too, the child didn't eat a few bites in total."
The princess complained about Wang Changgeng, but the smile in the corner of her eyes was unstoppable.
Wang Changgeng laughed, waved his hand and said bluntly, let her go.
... ...
In Dali Temple, Wei Nanqi sorted out Li Ru's rhetoric alone, talking nonsense throughout, and there was no useful information at all.
Just when he had a headache, suddenly a figure flashed out of the window, Wei Nanqi was alert, and hurriedly asked.
"Who!"
Then chased out.
Under the night, the entire Dali Temple was unusually silent, and the figures that had just flashed were long gone.
Just when Wei Nanqi was puzzled, suddenly a slight sword roar sounded behind him, and a cold light came.
Wei Nanqi hurriedly dodged, tore and pulled, and a cut was made in his left arm, and blood flowed immediately.
"There are assassins!"
Wei Nanqi shouted, and suddenly the entire Dali Temple was noisy.
When the killer saw that the situation was not good, he immediately dodged.
Wei Nanqi clutched his injured left arm, blood oozing from between his fingers.
"Master Wei, are you injured?"
Zheng Tianlan, who rushed to the scene when he heard the sound, saw Wei Nanqi's injured left arm and exclaimed.
Wei Nanqi's mind was spinning rapidly at the moment, and he only felt that something was wrong, and he didn't answer Zheng Tianlan's inquiry.
Suddenly, a flash flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said to Zheng Tianlan.
"Something is wrong, go and see Li Ru!"
Just now, Wei Nanqi noticed that someone flashed through the window, and that direction was in front of him chasing out.
And the person who stabbed himself was behind the back, indicating that he was not the same person before and after.
Dali Temple is heavily guarded, and it is not the hand of an assassin to take such a great effort to plot against himself, but he gives up easily.
There is only one answer, the other party's goal is not themselves.
In the entire Dali Temple, there is only one place to pass by his window, and that is the dungeon of Dali Temple.
Li Ru was the only one imprisoned there.
Zheng Tianlan looked at Wei Nanqi with a solemn face, and without saying a word, she turned around and ran in the direction of the dungeon.
By the time the two arrived, it was too late, and Li Ru had already collapsed in a pool of blood and died.
"Damn!"
Wei Nanqi was very angry and raised his hand and smashed his fist against the wooden fence on the side, and suddenly the blood flowed even better.
Zheng Tianlan also frowned, after all, the assassin ran away from his subordinates, not only injured Wei Nanqi, but also killed the only suspect at present, and he couldn't help but feel a little blamed in his heart.
"Master Wei, my subordinates should bandage your wounds first."
Wei Nanqi used his strength resentfully, causing the blood on his left arm to flow a little more.
Zheng Tianlan helped Wei Nanqi bandage his wounds, and Sun Changxi also came with people from the Criminal Department.
"Lord Wei, the assassin has been caught?"
Wei Nanqi shook his head regretfully and said helplessly.
"The other party made a decisive move, and we had already succeeded when we found out, but now the clue is broken again, and I don't know how to explain it to Your Majesty tomorrow."
Although Sun Changxi looks at Mu Ne on weekdays, he has his own unique views on the judgment of Xing.
After Wei Nanqi's brief retelling, I understood the general process.
He frowned, and carefully scanned the clues left by the nearby assassins, looking for clues.
"There are three assassins!"
Sun Changxi squatted at the place where Wei Nanqi was stabbed, looked at the messy footprints on the ground, and then looked in the direction of the dungeon.
"Master Wei, the footprints on the ground have been turned back twice, but there are no traces of depth, I'm afraid you are also one of their targets."
After Zheng Tianlan heard this, she was puzzled.
"No, Lord Wei doesn't know martial arts, surrounded by two assassins, don't say Lord Wei, I'm afraid my life is in danger."
Sun Changxi and Wei Nanqi glanced at each other, their hearts jumped, and the two hurried back to the dungeon.
At this moment, the prison is leading a few people to clean up the bloodstains, and Li Ru's body is also placed aside, waiting for the autopsy during the day.
Zheng Tianlan followed Sun Changxi and Wei Nanqi to Li Ru's corpse and watched the two examine the wounds.
"Knife wounds?"
Zheng Tianlan exclaimed, and Wei Nanqi and the others secretly said in their hearts, sure enough.
Assassins rarely use knives, but because of their large size and single strength, they are easy to expose when running and hiding.
Wei Nanqi frowned and said slowly.
"It's two groups of people tonight."
Zheng Tianlan was completely dizzy, why would there be three at a time, and two at a time, and she couldn't understand what they were talking about at all.
Sun Changxi looked at Zheng Tianlan's confused expression and explained indifferently.
"The person who killed Li Ru is very skilled, and he is familiar with him, otherwise Li Ru would not have been silent before he was killed. The other two assassins were ordered to kill Lord Wei, and as soon as the two assassins started, the killer of Li Ru appeared, and the two thought they were here to save Lord Wei, so they fled in panic. ”
Zheng Tianlan listened dumbfounded to Sun Changxi's analysis, how did a person who is extremely wooden on weekdays suddenly become a detective.
... ...
Shizifu, a figure flew into the garden, with light steps and a knife.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Chen Pingwu quietly leaned against the dark pavilion, closed his eyes and asked.
The figure was stunned when he heard the sound, turned his head to look at him, and under the moonlight, his face was revealed, it was the entourage Yang Guang.
Chen Pingwu opened his eyes slightly, the night flickered brightly, and after looking at Yang Guang, his brows furrowed slightly.
"The smell of blood, you killed someone?"
Yang Guang kowtowed and replied expressionlessly.
"My subordinates are ordered by the prince to solve some irrelevant people."
Chen Pingwu sighed softly, and there was some helplessness in his tone.
"Rest early."
Yang Guang nodded and turned to leave.
Watching Yang Guang leave, Chen Pingwu walked out of the pavilion, looking at the bright moonlight, and Feng Yewu's cold face appeared in his mind again.
On the second day, the soldier's squire died tragically at home, and people in Kyoto were panicked for a while.
In the palace garden, Feng Yewu's face was extremely ugly, Wei Nanqi and Sun Changxi knelt on the side, and told the story of the Dali Temple last night.
"You two don't have to kneel, get up and talk."
Feng Yewu rubbed her forehead lightly, and waved helplessly at the two on the ground.
Wei Nanqi and the others got up and stood aside.
