Chapter 8: The Mystery of the Evidence
As early as when Fusu was assassinated, Yinggao noticed that this assassin had more than this layer of clothing on his body, because it was the cold of spring, and people would wear several layers to protect themselves from the cold, and this assassin was no exception.
Another reason why Yinggao pays attention to clothes is that in today's Great Qin, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to ordinary people, the importance of clothing is unimaginable in later generations.
In this era, the clothes and the Tian Zhai were listed as the fixed assets of the Qin people, and it was for this reason that Ying Gao decided to take a risk to see if he could find anything on the Assassin's clothes, and if the Assassin belonged to an organization that he was proud of, he would definitely find something on the clothes.
Full of anticipation, Ying Gao ripped off the black clothes, the fire candle shone through, and what caught his eyes was just an ordinary shirt, and he touched it everywhere, nothing special, and then looked at his shoes and boots and underwear, and still found nothing, this time Ying Gao finally panicked, and then touched it hard, except for the cold skin of the corpse, there was no gain......
At this moment, there was a neighing sound from outside the courtyard, apparently a carriage had arrived.
"Childe quickly came behind me, I think it was Yan Le who arrived, don't let him recognize Childe, otherwise the fake message of the king will be recognized, and you and I will not benefit."
The first shot, this is about to sink into the sand?
Ying Gao asked himself unwillingly, the sound of the courtyard door opening had already come, Ying Gao knew that he had to stop, he quickly sorted out the clothes he had torn off, and then unwillingly finally touched the corpse......
But it was this one, when the hand swept to the waist, there was a bulge in the hand, Ying Gao's heart tightened, no matter what it was, he ripped it off and put it in his sleeve, and then quickly stood behind Feng Qujian with his head bowed and bent down.
Just when Yinggao's script had just stood firm, a rush of footsteps had reached the door, followed by bright torches and a voice that Yinggao had just heard in the court during the day: "The right minister is here late at night, why don't you inform me in advance, and be accompanied by you, wouldn't it be good?" ”
Walking in with the voice, it was naturally Yan Le who was fighting each other in the palace of the First Emperor during the day, as Zhao Gao's dog, Xianyang's big and small affairs, especially those related to the assassination of Fusu, were really difficult to carry out behind his back.
"The king's edict is very urgent, so he has not informed the Xianyang Order, if the Xianyang Decree has doubts, at this time, I have just finished investigating the assassin's body, why don't you and I go to recover together?" Feng Quji's somewhat old face was expressionless as always, and he said without saltiness.
At the same time as Feng Quji spoke, Yan Le was not idle, but looked around the corpse, and saw that the corpse had not changed, it was still the same person before, and his clothes were still there, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that because he believed that Fang Shi was bent on seeking the Tao in order to be able to live forever, the First Emperor would not personally look at the corpse, and the old man in front of him, how could he recognize who this dead man was.
"The right minister said and laughed, in the next is just passing through here, I heard that the right minister is here, only then I entered the first sight, since the right minister has the order of the king, in the next will not be long left right minister."
Obviously, Yan Le was respectful on his face, but in fact, he wanted Feng to leave quickly, and Ying Gao, who was writing hard with his head down, couldn't help muttering in his heart: This guy and Zhao Gao must be related to this assassination, although this assassin himself did not see any clues, it was just because he was not the right person.
Ying Gao touched the part of the thing he ripped off the assassin's body, it was an object that felt like a strip of cloth, with some irregular bumps on it, these bumps made Ying Gao's heart move, seeing that Feng Quji had already said goodbye to Yan Le, he quickly put away his thoughts, bowed down and followed Feng Qujian to the door, Yan Le glanced at Ying Gao by the way, but in the black-lit morgue, he did not let him see the flaws.
Follow Feng Qujian all the way around Xianyang Palace, until he entered the mansion of his father-in-law Feng Zai, Ying Gao changed his appearance, for Ying Gao's camouflage ability, even Feng Quji, who has lived for fifty or sixty years, was impressed, the last time Feng Zao said that Ying Gao's change was with him, he didn't care, but today's performance in front of the First Emperor and in the morgue, so that Feng Quji couldn't help but believe eight points, he was sure that Win Gao must have hidden something before, as for why, he didn't have a plan in his heart.
"How was the trip, and what clues did you find on that assassin?"
Feng Zai, who was waiting in the mansion, was obviously very concerned about this matter, Ying Gao had just shown a little grandeur, and he was involved in such a major event as the assassination of Fusu, which made Feng Zao very concerned, the assassination of Fusu was a big deal, Feng Zao didn't want Ying Gao to accidentally let his daughter get into it for the rest of her life.
"I searched through the body of the assassin, but I only found this thing, I wonder if the right phase and my uncle know each other? If you can know the origin of this thing, this matter will be solved! ”
As he spoke, Ying Gao took out an object from his sleeve, and Feng Zai's father and son looked at it, it was a piece of clothing belt, which was not generous, it should be used for underwear, but the material was a fabric that only the nobles in Xianyang City could wear, and there was regular embroidery on it, like auspicious clouds, and it was not a mortal thing at first glance.
On the way back, Ying Gao had already looked at this thing before and after, although he had never seen it, but he felt in his heart that the Feng father and son who were in a high position could tell him the answer, in that case, this cloth strip that he was crooked and took back would undoubtedly help him survive this catastrophe.
Feng's father and son took the belt and watched it carefully under the candlelight, and after a long time, in Yinggao's expectant eyes, they said something that made Yinggao extremely disappointed: "I have never seen this kind of pattern." ”
Feng Qujian is on the right side, and it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person in the Great Qin Empire, but in the face of such a piece of clothing that is obviously from the hands of dignitaries, he actually said that he has never seen it, which can't help but subvert the three views of Yinggao, to say that he has never seen it in the deep palace because of the crown ceremony, but Feng Qujian said so, there is a problem in this.
"Neither the right minister nor my uncle have ever seen this thing, so I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do so." Ying Gao took back the belt from Feng Quji's hand, and muttered while looking at it carefully.
"Son, don't be discouraged, tomorrow I will go with my father to advise you, plus you are the son of the king, you have always been loyal and honest, and there is no proof of death, the king should not be gullible." Feng Zheng sighed and opened his mouth to persuade.
"No, uncle doesn't have to be anxious, it's a little more difficult, but this matter may not be unsolvable, it's just that it takes some courage!"
