The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Zhang Jiujin scratched his cheeks and grinned, "Grandpa Jun, what do you mean?" What chances? ”

"Ha, no, nothing."

Guo Ye didn't want to reveal too much to Zhang Jiujin, so he immediately diverted the topic, waved his hand and asked: "Jiujin, you just said that the Yin Mansion was wiped out overnight, and even Yin Tianzong was not spared. Did you find out who did it? ”

"No," Zhang Jiujin shook his head and said, "I heard that this matter has alarmed the emperor, and this morning he ordered Yin Ma Yuanju of Chang'an Mansion to thoroughly investigate the case." No, even Master Shang Shuwei of the Criminal Department went to the scene of the murder in Yinfu early in the morning, and heard that the vicinity of Yinfu was under martial law. ”

"Oh?"

Guo Ye's eyes grunted, and he suddenly greeted Zhang Jiujin: "Go, Jiujin, you come with me to Yinfu, let's go and see the excitement." ”

"Gotcha!"

Zhang Jiujin responded excitedly: "I also want to go and see the mile, and my subordinates will go to prepare horses!" ”

With that, he ran eagerly.

In an instant, the horses were ready, Guo Ye and Zhang Jiujin each took a horse, planned out the Taiping Fang one after the other, and galloped to Chongren Fang, where the Yin Mansion was located.

At this time, Chongrenfang was full of officials from Chang'an Mansion and sergeants from the Leading Guard's Mansion patrolling around, especially Yinfu, which was under martial law on the inside and outside of the three floors to protect the scene.

Guo Ye and Zhang Jiujin were ordered to dismount and walk as soon as they entered Chongrenfang, and when they arrived at the gate of Yin's mansion, Ma Yuanju's subordinates knew Guo Ye, but they still stopped him outside and did not let them in, claiming that now Wei Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Yin Ma of Chang'an Mansion are jointly investigating the case in the mansion, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter.

No matter how Zhang Jiujin was babbling, the sergeant guarding the gate of the mansion was stunned and refused to let him in.

In the end, he alarmed the government in the palace and reported the matter to Ma Yuanju, and the guy hurried to let him go.

However, only Guo Ye was allowed to go in, and as for Zhang Jiujin, he still stayed outside.

Guo Ye followed Ma Yuan into the Yin Mansion, looking at this high-level martial law, he secretly muttered in his heart, the dignified leader of the army and the general of the Weifu, the first brother in charge of the security of Chang'an City, was killed by someone overnight so quietly, it seems that this matter is not trivial. His Majesty Li Er has already given a death order, otherwise, there would not be this battle.

The more he thought about it, the more scared Guo Ye felt, how many things did he not know about grandma's, Li Yuan and King Lu.

Ma Yuanju looked at Guo Ye speechless all the way, and while continuing to walk, he said: "Such a tragedy happened in Chang'an City, the imperial capital, and no one in the Yin Mansion was spared, and Yin Tianzong died a tragic death, alas, this is the first major case since the founding of the Tang Dynasty." This morning, the Holy Lord was furious, and gave me a month to thoroughly investigate the case, and asked Wei Shangshu to supervise the case. If the January deadline can't be clarified and the murderer is found, not only me, but even Wei Shangshu will have to eat melons. ”

Guo Ye was silent for a moment, then stopped and asked in a deep voice, "How many people died in the Yin Mansion?" ”

"Uh......"

Ma Yuanju hesitated for a moment, but soon replied truthfully: "Up and down, even the husband who fights the shift is counted, a total of one hundred and eighty-nine people." ”

One hundred and eighty-nine people?

Grass!! Li Yuan, you really did it.

Immediately, he asked, "One hundred and eighty-nine people were all killed, and there was no movement last night?" ”

Ma Yuanju shook his head and sighed: "Everyone's fatal injuries are in the throat, and they are all killed with one sword. According to the examination of our government officials, more than half of the dead were harvested in their sleep. It can be seen that the murderers must be experienced and experienced killers, and they are not one person, but a group of people. It's really unpredictable and powerful, where can there be witnesses in this situation? And it's the middle of the night, when it's dark and no one. ”

"So, you don't have a clue at the moment, do you?"

Guo Ye glanced at Ma Yuanju with a humble heart, and said tentatively: "At present, we can only lock the suspects in a group of killer organizations with very sophisticated experience, right?" ”

Ma Yuanju snorted and said, "That's right! However, from Yin Tianzong's death, a little clue can be traced. ”

Gurgle~

Guo Ye's heart sank and asked, "Wasn't Yin Tianzong killed with a single sword?" What was the difference between his death? ”

"yes, how did I forget about it?" Ma Yuanju looked at Guo Ye in surprise and said, "You are a boy from a military service, and you have worked as a head catcher in Longxi, isn't investigating cases your strength?" Let's go, I'll take you to the scene of Yin Tianzong's death, it's in his bedroom, maybe you can give me a little help. ”

"Huh?"

Guo Ye was stunned on the spot, Ma Yuanju actually asked himself to help?

Although he knew that it must be Li Yuan and the others behind the scenes, but letting him help investigate the case and track down the murderer always had the illusion of a thief shouting to catch a thief.

It's weird, it's a little awkward.

Immediately, he waved his hand and excused himself: "Hey, if you are not in his position, you will not seek his own politics." Lao Ma, you see that I came to see the excitement today, and I have stepped down as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I will temporarily rest at home to recuperate. I won't mix this kind of thing, right? ”

"Don't, it's okay, it's okay, those who can work hard, come ......"

Ma Yuan raised his hand and grabbed Guo Ye's arm and said, "Wei Shangshu is also in Yin Tianzong's bedroom now, let's go, come, come with me to the bedroom." ”

Regardless of whether Guo Yetong agrees or not, he can't help but say that Ma Yuanju has already pulled Guo Ye straight to the direction of the bedroom.

Suddenly, under Ma Yuanju's stiff pull, as soon as Guo Ye stepped into the bedroom, he was greeted by a strong smell of blood, which made people want to be disgusted.

"Vomit~ What does it smell like?"

Guo Ye hurriedly covered his nose and swallowed the discomfort into the room, and looked at it casually-

The room was neatly furnished, and there were no signs of a fight, but there were two corpses lying across the bed, a man and a woman, to be exact.

Both of them were lying naked on the bed, the bodies seemed stiff, the blood stains on the bed had dried up, and it was obvious that the two had been dead for some time.

Guo Ye continued to cover his nose and approached to take a look, and the body of the male deceased was undoubtedly Yin Tianzong.

Judging from the superficial symptoms of the corpse, Yin Tianzong was killed by a sharp blade cutting his throat, his facial features were not distorted, and his limbs showed no signs of struggle.

And this woman's death was very terrifying, her face was slightly black, her nostrils, eyes, and the corners of her mouth were dripping with coagulated black blood, and nine out of ten were poisoned to death.

Soon, Guo Ye discovered the clue that the female deceased was holding a sharp dagger stained with blood in her hand.

Guo Ye secretly guessed that the two slept together naked, obviously this woman had a close relationship with Yin Tianzong. Looking at the dagger in this woman's hand again, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Could it be that this woman took Yin Tianzong's life with a knife while he was sleeping?" ”

"On the face of it, it is."

It was not Ma Yuanju who answered him, but Wei Ting, the secretary of the criminal department, who was standing in the room with a solemn face and listening to the report.

Wei Ting was not surprised that Guo Ye appeared here, but continued: "The identity of this woman has also been ascertained, it is Liu Yue, the ninth concubine of Yin Tianzong just a few days ago. If the inference is correct, it should be that after she and Yin Tianzong were happy, they killed him while the other party was sleeping. As for why she died, she had just finished the examination, and she was poisoned to death. As for what kind of poison was involved, it is necessary to carefully identify the corpse after bringing it back. ”

As soon as Guo Ye's curiosity came up, he couldn't help but speculate: "So, after she killed Yin Tianzong, she committed suicide by taking poison in fear of sin?" ”

"Logically, that's pretty much it!"

Wei Ting glanced at Guo Ye and continued: "But all this is just superficial evidence. Maybe it was the group of assassins who quietly assassinated Yin Tianzong, and then forcibly fed the woman with poison, so Bu Suyun created a fake scene. But it is more likely that Yin Tianzong, the new ninth concubine, was arranged by the murderer to enter the Yin Mansion early in the morning and deliberately approached Yin Tianzong. In order to avoid future troubles, the murderer left traces that people traced, so he cut the grass and eradicated it once and for all. There is a third possibility, that is, this Liu Yue'e's concubine, she is from a mysterious organization like the group of assassins, and her identity is a dead soldier. As long as Yin Tianzong dies, her mission will also end, and she must commit suicide by taking poison. ”

"Oh......"

Guo Ye secretly glanced at Li Yuan and their methods again, could it be that Li Yuan really had his own killer organization? In this organization, there are all dead soldiers cultivated by Li Yuan, both men and women?

At this moment, Ma Yuanju asked softly, "Guo Ye, do you have any other discoveries and suggestions?" ”

Wei Ting was also stunned when he heard this, and suddenly reacted, and said in surprise: "Yes, Wei almost forgot that the Pingyang County Duke was born as a head hunter back then, and investigating cases is your strength." ”

Where does Guo Ye dare to express his opinion at this time? Could it be that they told them that this matter was actually controlled by Emperor Li Yuan behind the scenes?

He was about to prevaricate, when suddenly a middle-aged man ran in from outside the door, wearing a soap suit and a horizontal knife at his waist, and shouted breathlessly: "Lord Fu Yin, ho ho~~ There is ...... Found!! ”

He had seen this person, it was Ma Yuanju's right-hand man, who was in charge of the chief catcher of hundreds of officials in Chang'an Mansion - the Wei Army.
