Originally, she didn't plan to involve Xiao Yi, but she had already released cruel words in front of Li Chengxuan yesterday, and she wanted to investigate the case herself. But she knew in her heart that she and Guo Zhongting alone would not succeed at all, and the Guo family would not support them, and it would be more difficult to find a reliable and capable helper who knew the inside story well in the short term.

So she thought of Xiao Yi. I still remember that the last time she went to see An Cheng, she happened to be in time for her father-in-law Xiao Zhiwu to arrive in Beijing, but Xiao Yi suddenly guessed where she was going and went to Anguo Temple to find her. It can be seen that Xiao Yi has a very accurate grasp of the inside story behind "The Preface to King Teng's Pavilion", and what is even more rare is that he has not been involved in this matter from beginning to end, just by relying on her and Li Chengxuan, Guo Zhongting's words can guess one or two, who can compare to this thought?

Moreover, according to Li Chengxuan, the death of Master An Cheng is very likely to be related to the theft of the Birth Gang. Xiao Yi is familiar with the causes and consequences of this case, and there is no more suitable person than him.

Guo Zhongting was also very satisfied with her vision, and couldn't help but praise her: "Sister Yue'er, your idea is really amazing!" Brother Xiao happens to be a healer, and he knows everything about the living and the dead, and if someone else goes to fight with him, I'm afraid he won't understand. ”

"Know everything?" Xiling Yue didn't forget to tease, "Brother Zhongting, your level of use of words is getting higher and higher. ”

"It's still Yue'er's sister who can appreciate me!" Guo Zhongting winked at her.

Xi Lingyue pursed her lips, retracted her thoughts in time, and turned her head to look at Xiao Yi: "Brother Yi, what are the results of the autopsy?" ”

Xiao Yi replied truthfully: "I heard from the people who said that Master An Cheng's death was very peculiar. He was stabbed three times in the back, the blade was about seven inches long, and the murder weapon was left at the scene. ”

"Wait!" Xi Lingyue opened her mouth to interrupt him, "I can't imagine you saying that, you have to show me a painting!" ”

Xiao Yi was very helpless: "How do I compare paintings?" ”

Xilingyue pondered for a moment, had a plan, and turned her head to look at Guo Zhongting.

The latter shuddered: "What are you going to do?" ”

"What's the matter," Xiling Yue smiled sweetly, "Brother Zhongting, bother you to be a dead man for a while." ”

Guo Zhongting's face immediately collapsed.

When Xi Lingyue agreed, she motioned for Xiao Yi to sit next to him and compare pictures on him. And she herself sat across from the two of them for easy viewing.

Guo Zhongting knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to show an expression of looking at death as if he were at home, and gritted his teeth and responded: "Okay, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, Lao Tzu fought hard." ”

"It's not for you to sacrifice your life for righteousness!" Xiling Yue laughed at him for making a fuss, and raised her hand to signal Xiao Yi to continue.

Xiao Yi then drew three times on the large vertebrae on Guo Zhongting's back, and explained: "I was stabbed three times here, but none of them were fatal injuries." ”

"Where's the fatal wound?"

"In the back of the head." Xiao Yi pulled Guo Zhongting's head and pointed to the middle of the back of his head.

Guo Zhongting is another cold war.

"The back of the head? Also slashed with a knife? Xilingyue hurriedly asked again.

"No, it was injured by another sharp weapon, according to the examination, it should be darts and arrows, but there was no suspicious murder weapon left at the scene."

Listening to Xiao Yi's words, Xi Lingyue's first reaction was: The murderer was the one who used poisonous darts without permission. But when she thought about it, Li Chengxuan's analysis yesterday was also very reasonable, if it was really that person's hand, it would definitely hit it with one blow, and it would be neat, and it would never leave so many wounds.

"Brother Yi, did you tell you if Master An Cheng's wounds were poisonous?" She continued to ask.

Xiao Yi was so clever that he had already thought of this: "I asked, the Venerable Master was not poisoned, and the wound on the back of his head was very small. Your dart in Luoyang is two fingers wide, and I have kept it, and I have just let you see it, and it does not match the wound on the back of Master An Cheng's head. ”

Xiao Yi said as he took out a small wooden box from his sleeve, which contained the poisonous dart that killed Liu's shopkeeper and mistakenly hit Xilingyue's shoulder. More than a month has passed, and the poison of the dart has long been cleaned up by him, and it has become an ordinary hidden weapon, and there is no clue to check.

Xi Lingyue only glanced at it before retracting her gaze and continued to think about the case: "If it wasn't that person, who would it be?" Why did the murderer leave the machete but take the hidden weapon away? ”

She speculated in her mouth, and her doubts deepened: "Strange, who would kill people with two instruments?" ”

Guo Zhongting was also puzzled: "Bringing two kinds of murder weapons out to kill people is really weird." ”

"yes, shouldn't killers all have their usual weapons?" Xiling Yue didn't know whether to ask a question or talk to herself, a pair of delicate moth eyebrows twisted slightly, and fell into thought.

After a while, she sat next to Guo Zhongting again, and compared the position of the knife wound behind him: "Brother Yi, do you think the position of these three knives is very messy?" ”

"Indeed, it can be seen that the murderer was very panicked at that time, and he cut indiscriminately, and the wound was not deep."

"But a murderer who is accustomed to using arrows and darts, shouldn't he be able to hit every shot?" Xi Lingyue raised the biggest doubt, "How can it be possible to shoot darts so accurately, but not with a knife?" ”

"yes, it doesn't make sense!" Guo Zhongting also reacted.

Xi Lingyue pretended to be holding a knife in his hand, continued to draw behind his back, and then stretched out his index and middle fingers, turning into a dart and poking him in the back of the head. Her movements froze here, silent, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, the carriage shook at this time, Xilingyue didn't sit firmly, and almost got out of the car. Xiao Yi and Guo Zhongting stretched out their arms together, grabbed her shoulders left and right, and said in unison: "Be careful!" ”

However, it was this move that made Xiling Yue suddenly have a flash of inspiration: "I know, the murderers are two people!" ”

She sat down urgently, and said excitedly: "The murderer must be two people, one is good at using hidden weapons, and the other is good at using knives. The man with the knife failed to kill Master An Cheng and let him escape from the main room, and the other man threw out a hidden weapon and killed him. ”

Guo Zhongting was stunned for a moment before he remembered to praise her: "Yue'er, you are so smart!" ”

Xi Lingyue was not proud, but had another doubt: "Then the question is, why did one murderer leave the knife, but the other took the hidden weapon away?" ”

As she spoke, she made a move to shoot a dark weapon: "According to common sense, the murderer killed someone with a hidden weapon, shouldn't he just leave?" Why did he pull out the hidden weapon and take it away? ”

All three people in the carriage pondered.

"Because of poverty?" Guo Zhongting was the first to speak, "Maybe he can't afford to buy a hidden weapon and wants to save it?" ”

Hearing this speculation, Xiling Yue couldn't cry or laugh.

"Maybe the secret weapon will reveal his identity." Xiao Yi said the answer she wanted.

"Those who know me, remember my brother." She smiled in agreement.

Guo Zhongting was not convinced, and still struggled: "Maybe it's because of poverty." Who will be a killer if they are not poor? It's normal to save hidden weapons! ”

"Yes, yes, you're right." Xiling Yue perfunctory him.

Guo Zhongting was a little satisfied, and couldn't help but stretch: "I don't have to be a dead man anymore, right?" ”

"No need," Xiling Yue winked at him, "we have something to do again." ”
