A night of wind and rain, a night of fighting.

The next day, the sky was fine.

Chang'an City is full of corpses, the corpses are washed white by the rain, and when you see it in the morning, it gives people a shocking feeling.

The crows landed on the city wall, reflecting the morning light, casting shadows at the base of the wall, and a warm wind blew, mixed with the smell of blood, which made the crows chirp excitedly.

The forbidden army in the city is cleaning up the corpses, and all the people are forbidden to approach, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of those people's discussions, for these people in Chang'an City, the war is suddenly far away from them, they are safe, all their inertia to watch the excitement suddenly returns, they talk to each other, telling about the tragedy of last night, but their faces are smiling.

When it's not about oneself, the human heart is always the most ruthless.

After breakfast, Cheshire sent someone to invite Su Wuming, and now that the weather has cleared, it is time for a bone examination.

Su Wuming felt that his work was a bit insignificant compared to the fight outside the city last night, tens of thousands of people died and tens of thousands were injured last night, but now he had to work hard for a white bone.

Perhaps, this is the difference between war and murder.

War makes human life insignificant, and even if many people feel that it is unreasonable, it is the way it is, and no one can change it.

Su Wuming got into the carriage and went to Cheshire's house, when he went, Cheshire was already waiting, and according to what Su Wuming said yesterday, he had dug a pit in the yard, as well as all the tools for steaming bones, Su Wuming saw this, and also saved a lot of things, and directly ordered someone to put the bones in, and poured vinegar to steam, so when it felt almost the same, he ordered someone to take out the corpse.

After taking out the bones, Su Wuming immediately began to inspect, through the sunlight, Su Wuming found that there were many scratches on the bones, almost every place had scratches, but these were just scratches, but there were no red spots on the bones, which means that the deceased was not beaten before he was killed.

There was no sign of poisoning on the bones.

Su Wuming said the results of the inspection, and after listening to it, Cheshire was a little puzzled, and said, "Master Su, how did this person get killed?" ”

Su Wuming shrugged: "There is no beating, and there is no sign of poisoning, then there are many cases, it may be strangled to death, it may be stabbed to death, when the bones are not injured, of course, there may be other circumstances, but we can be sure that this person must have been murdered." ”

The sun slowly became scorching, after Su Wuming put down the bones, several subordinates put away the bones, Cheshire and Su Wuming came to the living room and sat down, after the servants served tea, Cheshire asked: "Lord Su, I have sent someone to inquire around, and I hope I will be able to find some clues soon, but I think even if I find someone who has seen the deceased, but if you want to solve the case, I'm afraid you can't do it, right?" ”

Cheshire, as the grandfather of the country, has no interest in a corpse or a murder case, but he finally came across a murder case, and he is very similar to seeing how Su Wuming solved the case.

Su Wuming thought for a while and said: "Grandpa Guo is right, it is not difficult to solve the case, it is not easy to say that it is not easy, only to find the situation of the deceased is afraid that it will not be able to solve the case, we must know who the previous owner of this house is, since the bones are in the toilet of this house, I want to come and have a lot to do with this owner." ”

"I sent someone to look for this before, but the person who sold me the house seems to have disappeared."

"It's okay, there's always a way to find them."

While the two were talking, a subordinate hurriedly came and said that he had found news about the deceased.

Not long after, a little boy who looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old was brought in, and the little boy was a little scared at first, but when he saw Su Wuming's kind smile, he said that there would be a reward for answering truthfully, so he was a little more happy.

"Have you ever seen a man with a five-short stature?" Su Wuming looked at the little boy and asked.

The little boy nodded: "About two months ago, I saw one, that person is about the same height as me, but the age is about thirty years old, when I saw that he was so old and so tall, I wanted to joke with him, who knew that the person had a very bad temper, I just said a few words, he was angry, and wanted to beat me, at that time fortunately I ran fast, otherwise he would have beaten me, although we are generally tall, but I am not better than him." ”

After the boy finished speaking, with a look of anticipation, Su Wuming frowned slightly, and then asked, "Do you know where he went?" ”

"I ran away at the time, and I don't know where he went."

"And what other passers-by were there at the time?"

"No, it was dusk, and I was about to rush home, because the road was close, so I took that road."

"In that case, tell you what the man looks like again."

After the boy told the man what he looked like, Su Wuming gave him a few copper coins, the little boy was a little excited, and left in a hurry, and just after the little boy left, Cheshire immediately asked, "Master Su, do you think this little boy is telling the truth?" ”

Su Wuming has never been a person who affirms a thing lightly, and he will not nod his head in affirmation until there is no evidence, so at this time, he only smiled: "Is what the little boy said true, we just drew the appearance of the person he said, and find someone to investigate." ”

After the portrait was painted, Cheshire sent people out, and Su Wuming also took a portrait to the government office, this matter, you may need the help of the government and Dali Temple, he is the director of Dali Temple, and there is no problem at all to let Dali Temple help, but the government is willing to help, it depends on Lord Liu Minzhi.

Entering the mansion, Su Wuming found Pei Xiu and told him what he had encountered, Pei Xiu reported it to Lord Liu Minzhi, and when Lord Liu Minzhi heard that it was the mansion of Grandpa Guo in Cheshire, he immediately became convinced, but he did not investigate, but gave the right to investigate to Pei Xiu.

This is exactly what Su Wuming wants.

After Pei Xiu saw Su Wuming again, he conveyed the meaning of Lord Liu Minzhi, Su Wuming nodded, and then said with a smile: "Since the matter is decided by Lord Pei, then I will have to worry about Lord Pei." ”

"Master Su is polite, if you have any orders, just say it."

Pei Xiu and Su Wuming also established a friendship after several contacts, so they didn't speak as well as other colleagues in the officialdom, so at this time, Su Wuming said very directly: "I want to ask Master Pei to investigate, who was the previous owner of the newly bought mansion in Cheshire, if you can find them, it is naturally the best." ”

Pei Xiu nodded: "This is easy to do, I will order it later." ”

Su Wuming smiled, then took out a portrait and showed it to Pei Xiu, and said, "This may be a portrait of the deceased, I would like to ask Master Pei to send someone to investigate and find out the identity of the deceased." ”

Pei Xiu took the portrait and looked at it, nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Su Wuming came to the mansion for these two things, and after explaining like this, he was about to leave, but at this time, Pei Xiu suddenly called out to him and said, "Master Su, there was a fight at the city gate last night, you should know, right?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "I'm afraid that the entire Chang'an City will know, but fortunately, all the rebels have been destroyed." ”

Pei Xiu raised his eyes slightly to look at Su Wuming, and said: "The rebels have all been wiped out, but when cleaning up the corpses and prisoners of war, the forbidden army found that there was one person missing. ”

Last night's fight was very tragic, and it was normal for one or two people to escape, but Su Wuming saw that Pei Xiu was so cautious, so he had no choice but to follow his words.

"I wonder who the person I can't find is?"

"That person is just a young general under King Xin, named Mo Yun, it is said that King Xin was going to send troops to rob the food of the people in the rear, he was dissuaded, and the plan to attack the city at night was also thought up by him, if it wasn't for King Xin wanting to cooperate with Cao Manli, and we controlled Cao Man, the entire capital last night, I'm afraid it will be a big mess!"

Hearing Pei Xiu's words, Su Wuming couldn't help but be stunned, last night's situation was indeed thrilling and abnormal, King Xin was able to attack the city during the heavy rain, it did take a lot of courage to do it, and Su Wuming didn't expect that the person who prompted King Xin to attack the city turned out to be the young general named Mo Yun.

"I heard that last night the forbidden army used a strategy of closing the door and beating the dogs, if Mo Yun entered the city, he shouldn't be able to escape, right?"

Pei Xiu nodded: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, that Moyun didn't enter the city at all!" ”

"Didn't go into town?" Su Wuming couldn't help but ask in surprise, he felt that things were really as simple as he had imagined, if Mo Yun entered the city, he could not be seen in the corpse and prisoners of war, he could only be said that he was lucky and escaped, but if he did not enter the city, it would be difficult to say, the plan to attack the city at night was made by him, if he did not enter the city, did he already know that this rebellion would not succeed?

But since he knew that the rebellion would not succeed, why did he instigate King Xin to enter the city, could it be that Mo Yun was not the one who believed in the king, he was someone else, and the purpose was to ask King Xin to cut off his life in Chang'an City?

Or does he want to see King Xin and the forbidden army in the capital lose both, so that he can win a chance for his real master?

The situation in the capital is very complicated, Su Wuming's conjectures are possible, and if this is the case, then they are only afraid that they will encounter a very strong opponent, this opponent knows when to make a move, when to let others take the lead, and he even has a group of smart and loyal subordinates.

Such an opponent is absolutely terrifying.

Su Wuming thought about it, his brows couldn't help but sink slightly, and at this time, Pei Xiu had already ordered what Su Wuming had just explained.
