Chapter 206: Suspicious

It turned out that since Jing Zhao went to Jingzhao Mansion to assist Wu Bi in taking charge of government affairs and maintaining local law and order, he has been handling cases and arresting murderers day and night, and he has unconsciously developed the habit of sleeping with his clothes closed, and tonight is no exception. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info made Jing Zhao feel lucky, tonight before going to bed, he casually pulled the two quilts on the bed to the outside of his body, so that he could lean on the quilt and sleep more comfortably, not wanting the dark weapon from the black shadow to pierce the quilt, and at the same time woke up Jing Zhao.

Jing Zhao has followed his father Jing Yuncong to learn martial arts since he was a child, although his skills are slightly inferior to his sister Jing Xuan, but after these days of catching thieves and taking murderers, many thieves and habitual criminals who are surprised by the rivers and lakes are planted under his hands, so Jing Zhao is also quite self-conscious about his kung fu.

He successfully followed the black shadow to the window of the tent where Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi lived, and took action in time to stop the other party from sending a hidden weapon to hurt people again. According to Jing Zhao's prediction, once the black shadow was caught by himself, he would definitely try to attack him with his other hand or even his flying legs, intending to take the opportunity to get rid of him. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the black shadow noticed that his wrist was caught, he didn't even shake his figure, and a few bright steel needles suddenly lit up in the hand that Jing Zhao grabbed his wrist, and with a flick of his fingers, several steel needles hit Jing Zhao's shoulder without any miss.

Under Jing Zhao's pain, as soon as his hand was released, the black shadow flew up in the air, and kicked Jing Zhao to the ground with a series of kicks, and then his body fell to the ground and rushed forward, about to kill Jing Zhao.

"Big brother, listen, there seems to be someone fighting outside the room."

Jiang Zhongshi's confused voice suddenly came from the tent, startling the black shadow's figure, Jing Zhao, who was kicked to the ground, took the opportunity to get up, opened his throat, and shouted loudly: "There is an assassin who is committing a crime, someone is coming, quickly arrest the assassin." ”

The black shadow saw that it would be difficult to get his hands tonight, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet, performed light skills, and fled without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Lai Xing'er was woken up by Jiang Zhongshi in his sleep, and the two walked out of the room together, only to see a vacant space outside the room, Jing Zhao was standing there with his hands on his shoulders, looking into the distance in a daze, so he walked up to him and asked with concern: "General Jing, are you hurt, where is the injury, is it in the way?" ”

Jing Zhao saw that Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi were out of the room, so he looked away from the direction where the black shadow had fled, and immediately scolded with a "bah": "It's all my fault for being negligent and telling him to run away." I didn't expect this guy to be quite tough. ”

Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi were busy putting Jing Zhao into the room, taking off his shirt, lighting the lamp and candle, carefully checking the injuries on his body, and after looking for a long time, they found three or four small pinholes on Jing Zhao's right shoulder, among which there was a steel needle still pierced in the flesh and had not fallen off.

Lai Xing'er carefully pulled the steel needle from Jing Zhao's body, approached the lamp and candle to take a look, and saw that the blood stains on the needle were bright red, and confirmed that the needle was not smeared with poison, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Jing Zhao: "What kind of person is the person who came to assassinate, can you see clearly?" ”

Fortunately, the black shadow was a steel needle that was suddenly ejected with his fingers after being caught by Jing Zhao on the wrist, the purpose of which was mainly to get out, not to hurt people, the steel needle was not poisonous, and the strength was limited, once the steel needle was pulled out, Jing Zhao raised his right shoulder, and actually found that the right arm could move freely.

He rushed to Xing'er and shook his head first, then nodded slightly, and replied, "The night is dark, she covered her face with a black cloth again, and she couldn't see her appearance." However, just now she was outside the window of your room and was about to shoot a secret weapon into the room to hurt someone, when I grabbed her wrist from behind, and now that I think about it, that wrist is weak and boneless, and the assassin seems to be a woman. ”

"Female?" Jiang Zhongshi shook his head vigorously, expressing disbelief, "I can break free from your hands and hurt you, if that person is really a woman, I think she is not much worse than the eldest lady." ”

Lai Xing'er looked directly at Jing Zhao, as if talking to herself, and as if she was asking Jing Zhao: "This is the military camp where the emperor lives, except for the concubines and palace people who came with him, there should be no other women, could it be that this person is in the harem?" Immediately, as if he remembered something, he pulled the stone in the river, and said to Jing Zhao: "Brother Jing is here for a while, let's go and go back." He picked up Jiang Zhongshi and walked out of the tent.

Jing Zhao was also secretly pondering: if the person the assassin wanted to assassinate was herself, then Duguhun was likely to be the mastermind behind the instigation of her assassination; But if she didn't just assassinate herself, it's hard to say. Suddenly, a thought flashed like a spark of calcium carbide in his mind, and he hurriedly stood up and rushed out of the door, but only then ran to the door, and almost collided with Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi, who were coming in from outside the door.

"Is that her?" Jing Zhao seemed to have a heart-to-heart with Lai Xing'er, and asked anxiously.

Lai Xing'er raised one hand high, and held a cold and shining flying knife in his palm. He shook his head at Jing Zhao, couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, walked into the tent, sat down on the edge of the bed in a gloomy manner, bowed his head and said nothing.

"A throwing knife alone isn't enough to rule out that it's not that person." Jing Zhao turned around and came to Lai Xing'er and explained, "Now we have to think about two possibilities: first, the assassin who came to assassinate tonight is the same person or group as the one we met in Daming Palace more than 20 days ago, so our original judgment that she was an undercover agent of the Tubo people in Chang'an City is probably wrong; Second, since this assassin has nothing to do with the one in Chang'an City, it is necessary to find out who she is targeting, so that the scope of the investigation can be narrowed, and her identity can be determined as accurately as possible, and then she can be found. ”

Lai Xing'er originally hoped that the assassin who came to assassinate them tonight, even if he was not plotting against Jing Xuan in Chang'an City, the real murderer who attacked him and Jing Zhao in the Daming Palace was at least related to her, so he took Jiang Zhongshi to Jing Zhao's room to find the hidden weapon left by the assassin to see if it was a bone nail. As a result, only one flying knife was found in the quilt on Jing Zhao's bed, which made him feel very disappointed.

At this time, listening to Jing Zhao's methodical analysis, Lai Xing'er's eyes shone again: Jing Zhao is worthy of being called "Uncle Detective", and this ability to see subtle things and summarize and analyze is not comparable to himself.

"According to Brother Jing's opinion, should we tell Yu Chengen or even the emperor about this matter?" Lai Xing'er raised his head and asked Jing Zhaodao.

Jing Zhao groaned slightly, shook his head, and replied, "If you want me to say, it's better not to be busy." This is because, first of all, this assassin dared to assassinate in the barracks, she must have no fear, most likely there is an identity that is not easy for others to find as a cover, since this is the case, we might as well preliminarily conclude that the target of this assassination is only the three of us, or one of them, and it will never be unfavorable to the emperor. Speaking of this, Jing Zhao suddenly looked at Jiang Zhongshi and stopped talking. (To be continued.) )
