"Report to the general, Miss Saiyun has woken up, and she is clamoring to see the general." Soldiers came to report.

This Mongolian woman is still uneasy. Wang Laohu suddenly thought that she came to Hangzhou to kill herself, could this masked man be arranged by her?

Wang Laohu said to Shi Youcai: "Let the officers and soldiers stop searching the mountain, and they can't see it clearly at night, but they must guard a few places to go down the mountain, and they must not be allowed to sneak down the mountain." Let the brothers raise their spirits and wait until dawn to search the mountain. ”

After assigning tasks to Shi Youcai, Wang Laohu and Rong Yu and others went out of the guard.

On the way, Rong Yu said: "I think there is something wrong with that General Han, but I don't know where it is." ”

Wang Laohu said: "If there is a problem, it will be clear after the investigation." The key is to find those masked people. ”

Several people stopped talking.

Inn.

Saiyun yelled at Wang Laohu: "What's going on today? ”

"Who knows what's going on, I'm still in the dark?" Wang Laohu said.

"I don't think these people are your enemies, and I am affected by you."

"You think so, and now I'm looking around for your captors. You know, after you were caught by them, you went up the back mountain. Now they are all celebrating the festival in the city, how can there be any people in this back mountain, and there is no witness? ”

"Did these people get caught?"

"Where to catch these people at night, these people have come at the right time."

"Timing it?"

"Look, isn't that obvious? Taking advantage of the festival in Hangzhou, there were many people in Hangzhou and people were lively, so they came at this time. ”

"So you think they were premeditated."

"They took you captive first, and you can see the faces of those people."

"How could I see clearly, they grabbed me from behind, and I was unconscious all of a sudden." Saiyundao.

"I can't even see you clearly, how can I see them clearly?"

"You've heard people say that you have done something with them, and I was rescued by you from them."

"They all have cloths over their faces, how can I see their faces clearly?"

"Anyway, I don't care, it's dangerous to follow you everywhere, and there are too many people who have offended you."

"Haha, Miss Saiyun, are you provoking me?" Wang Laohu said, "However, who is against me, I will find out immediately." ”

"I know, you are an official, and you have so many people under you, you should be able to find out immediately."

"It seems that Miss Saiyun still doesn't believe me. I will find out for myself now, but for Miss Saiyun, who has taken you captive, and who is so hateful that whoever does not take us captive will take us away and sit on the guests. Wang Laohu said.

"That's what you said."

with Mongolia

During the woman's conversation, Wang Laohu ruled out the possibility of Saiyun directing people. First, she came to Hangzhou alone and did not bring extra people, and second, this grassland woman is straightforward by nature, she didn't do it, she didn't do it, and she won't cover it like some people. Third, she did not mention her husband's hatred again, as if she had forgotten about it.

Saiyun looked out of the window of the inn, and the lights on the streets of Hangzhou were still bright, so he said: "This flower festival is really lively, you see the big night, it is all people." ”

"Needless to say, Hangzhou is a big city."

"Then please ask Wang Gongzi to accompany me to see the beautiful Hangzhou again." Saiyun's name for Wang Laohu has also changed, which she doesn't know.

"I've got what I said, but I can't run around anymore."

"Okay, okay, why are you so talkative."

The next day, the officers and soldiers of the guard station searched the back mountain and finally made a discovery.

"General Wang, we found a masked man in a back mountain."

Wang Laohu listened and said, "Okay, I finally found it, and if I find these masked people, I can find out their motives for arresting me." "Maybe you can also ask the person behind the scenes." Take me there. ”

"But, the general......"

"What else do you have to say?"

"General, we found these masked men, but they are all dead."

"Dead?" Wang Laohu was quite surprised by this result, overnight, these masked people died, what was the cause of death? Kill somebody to do away with a witness.

An idea popped into Wang Laohu's mind, the cause of death of these masked men was probably murder. "Quick, take me to the scene of the crime."

Because so many people died in the back mountain of Hangzhou, it also alarmed the prefect of Hangzhou, and on the second day of such an important day as the opening of the flower festival in Hangzhou, the corpses of many people appeared in the back mountain.

As soon as Wang Laohu arrived, Ma Lishang greeted him and said, "Lord Wang, we have found a total of one hundred and twenty-three corpses in this back mountain, all of them are masked people. ”

One hundred and twenty-three living lives disappeared overnight, such a big case should be the biggest case in the history of Hangzhou, and Lord Ma is worried now?

"I searched these people for a day yesterday, but I couldn't find them." Wang Laohu said.

"Why is Lord Wang looking for these people?"

"Originally, I didn't want to alarm Master Ma, after all, this matter was aimed at me. Yesterday on the first day of our Hangzhou Flower Festival, there were people who wanted to be unfavorable to me, they lured me to this back mountain, and wanted to kill me. ”

"I see. Then Lord Wang, hurry up and see, are these people the same people who chased and killed you yesterday? Ma Li said.

These corpses have been collected by the people of the government and lined up in several rows. Wang Laohu walked over to the corpses covered with white cloth in several rows.

Wang Laohu squatted down and lifted one of the white cloths, revealing a masked face with black cloth, at which time the masked man's eyes were closed and his breath was completely gone.

Wang Laohu said to a soldier behind him, "Has General Han arrived?" ”

"General Huiwang, General Han hasn't arrived yet."

Wang Laohu stood up and asked Ma Lishang, "In this vicinity, Master Ma has checked it, but what have you found?" ”

"I've asked the servants to inspect the bodies, and these people have all died from knife wounds, and this one has the most wounds." Admiral Ma Li led Wang Laohu to a corpse, and the white cloth was lifted, and Wang Laohu and Ma Lishang squatted down, and Ma Lishang continued: "You see, he was mortally wounded in the heart. The murderer should have cut his hand first, and then, the deceased fled, but he didn't expect to escape a few steps, and then fell to the ground, and the murderer caught up and slashed him several times in succession, and the last knife stabbed him in the heart and killed him. ”

Ma Li pointed out some places on the ground to Wang Laohu as he spoke, and the body should have been moved from these places, and Ma Li made a simple restoration of the killer's crime process according to some clues.

Wang Laohu looked at the place where Ma Li pointed out, this place with grass is the place where Ma Li said that the masked man's body was found, and the grass has been flattened after the corpse has been pressed by the corpse overnight. Wang Laohu asked, "Was the deceased face up or lying on the ground?" ”

"When we found the deceased, we found him lying on his stomach on the ground."

Lying on the ground, according to Master Ma, the deceased fell to the ground, and the murderer slashed him several times. After exploration at the scene, there were already traces of the officials moving, but Wang Laohu still saw some clues.

Not far from the meadow, there is a trail, which is the trace of a person crawling on the ground.

One thing in Ma Li is right, the masked man did not die with a knife, he should have fallen in this place, and when the murderer caught up, the masked man kept crawling on the ground, and the marks and blood stains on the ground can prove this. And where the murderer first slashed at the masked man, should it be?

Wang Laohu followed his train of thought and looked at that side, this is a clearing, not big, and not far from this clearing, there is a small bush.

Wang Laohu walked towards the small bushes, it was not a problem for hundreds of people to hide in this small bush, could it be that they were hiding in this place last night?

Wang Laohu moved his gaze to the corpse covered with a white cloth again. If hundreds of people are to be killed, there should be more people, because the traces of the scene have been destroyed, and it is no longer possible to distinguish which ones are from last night, which ones are from today's government and the guards?

"General Wang, General Han has arrived." Someone came to report.

"Lord Wang." General Han stepped forward and said.

"General Han, go and see, are these people your subordinates who disappeared yesterday?" Wang Laohu said.

"Yes."
