Chapter 205: One Ring After One Ring
Xu Mingyuan and Yi picked the door pin to enter the door, Chu Yue fell from the roof, broke the window and entered, looking at the middle-aged man who was hanging on the beam by a strip of cloth, they were all stunned.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, a wooden table, two stools, a bed, and nothing else. There was still a smell of wine in the room, and there were two empty wine jars next to the bed.
The middle-aged man hanging from the burlap strip was out of breath, and a kicked over stool on the ground looked like he had hanged himself.
Xu Mingyuan walked in the door, looked up at the corpse with a slightly bruised face, and frowned slightly, if this person was Yang Xiao, why would he go all the way to Chang'an to commit suicide.
After signaling Yi not to put the man down, Xu Mingyuan carefully looked at the middle-aged man who was suspended in mid-air.
There was a soft sound outside the window, and the head of Wuya was exposed on the windowsill, and he reached out and turned into the room.
Seeing the middle-aged man hanging on the beam, Wuya was also slightly stunned, first looked at the furnishings in the room, and then stepped forward and looked up at the hanging person with Xu Mingyuan.
"It's not suicide." Half an hour later, Xu Mingyuan and Wuya glanced at each other and said almost at the same time.
"Where did you see that?" Yi looked up at the corpse, a little puzzled.
Xu Mingyuan pointed to the purple marks on the neck of the corpse and said: "The strangulation marks on his neck are not just caused by hanging, but he was directly strangled by extremely strong force, and then hung on the beam, not by suffocation." ”
Wuya nodded, pointed to his right hand and continued: "The nail on the thumb is broken, and the one is turned out, which should also be caused by the struggle before dying. There were blood stains on the nails of the index and middle fingers, which should have been stained today, and the time of death should have been two hours ago. Yang Xiao: I've seen him. ”
"It seems that this must have been done by someone who knew him well. There was not the slightest trace of a fight in the room, indicating that Yang Xiao had great trust in this person, and perhaps he was the one who instructed him to do that. Xu Mingyuan pondered for a while and frowned.
"What is this?" Yi, who walked to the table, reached out and picked up the kettle on the table, and there was a piece of paper pressed underneath, because only a small corner was exposed. So everyone didn't notice it before.
Xu Mingyuan took the piece of paper and opened it to see that it was a suicide note written in Yang Xiao's tone, which briefly said some grievances with Qi Haobo and his father Qi Hong, and took all the things on himself, and after the revenge was avenged, he hanged himself.
Wuya took the paper and looked down, frowning.
"What do you think?" Xu Mingyuan looked at Wuya and asked.
The above may be somewhat credible, and the handwriting is similar to Yang Xiao's. However, this piece of paper should not have been written by Yang Xiao. This is to draw our attention to Yang Xiao, and as soon as Yang Xiao dies, this matter will have to come to an end.
But I have to say that Qinglong and Xuanwu people are not good at doing this kind of thing, if there is a random Suzaku person, maybe we will really believe this Yang Xiao ran all the way back to Chang'an from Jiannan Road, just to come to this broken inn to hang himself. Wuya shook his head with a smile and refolded the paper in his hand and pressed it under the kettle. It's like what it was easy to take out before.
"As soon as Yang Xiao dies, even if we can guess that it was Qinglong's people. I don't know where to start. Xing Liuzhi and Yang Xiao died one after another, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of turmoil in the Yuntai Division next. Xu Mingyuan's face was slightly gloomy, it was unfavorable to go out today, first he committed suicide with six fingers, but fortunately he got Yang Xiao's location, but he didn't expect to come to the door. Or was one step ahead.
"If it was made by the people of Qinglong, maybe there is something left, let's look for it first.
The people of Yuntai Division are Jin Gui, but they are also dying every day, but most of the people who die are our Suzaku and White Tiger people. Those things hiding in black boxes and houses, since they dare to stab them in the back, they should be prepared to be stabbed to death reflexively. Wuya's voice was a little stiff, and he didn't worry about the death of Yang Xiao and Xing Liuzhi at all.
Xu Mingyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, thinking that Qi Haobo went to Jiannan Dao alone, investigated the collusion of the families of Jiannan Dao, and deliberately provoked the dispute between Dawan and Nanzhao, but he was stabbed in the back by his own people, and finally fell to the end of being surrounded and killed by the Jianghu people and having no corpse, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Qi Haobo played half of the rivers and lakes alone, if it weren't for the people of the Jiannan Dao Branch to get in the way, what a chic departure and successful completion of the task.
Now it seems that the mastermind of this matter is hanged here, but is this matter really so simple, Xu Mingyuan doesn't believe it, and Wuya and the others don't believe it.
"Here." Chu Yue's voice came, and she took out half a jade plaque from under the quilt and handed it to Wuya.
Wuya looked at the half jade plaque, there was half a word in the middle, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "It turned out to be this old thing." ”
Xu Mingyuan looked at the half word in the middle of the jade plaque, there was a wide character on the top, he couldn't see what the word was, and wondered: "What is this?" ”
"Pang Zhongqiu." Wuya gently spit out three words, and everyone in the room changed their faces slightly.
Xu Mingyuan looked at that word again, wasn't it the first half of Pang Zhi.
Pang Zhongqiu is almost unknown to everyone in the Yuntai Division. In addition to commanding Shangguan Yuting, under the Yuntai Division were Chen Qiao, who was in charge of the Vermilion Bird Room and the White Tiger Room, and Pang Zhongqiu, who was in charge of the Qinglong Room and the Xuanwu Room.
Wuya raised the half jade plate in his hand and said: "This thing should be the connection between Pang Zhongqiu and Yang Xiao, and Yang Xiao will come all the way to Chang'an, I am afraid he also listened to Pang Zhongqiu's instructions."
Now that Yang Xiao was killed, it should have been done by someone who had been in contact with him, so he had no defense. I'm afraid he didn't even understand when he died, he did so many things for Pang Zhongqiu, but in the end he died under his hands. ”
"If this matter is indeed Pang Zhongqiu's doing, then it is not so simple to take revenge." Wuya nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice.
Wuya nodded and said: "It's not a big deal to kill an old ghost in the Qinglong Black Prison, it's really not easy to kill Pang Zhongqiu, the most people in the world want to kill him and then fast, except for Mr. Xu and Mr. Yunji, who is famous in martial arts, I'm afraid it's Pang Zhongqiu."
However, these young dragons' black prisons have tortured one assassin after another, but none of them can kill Pang Zhongqiu, and there are not even a few who can come to him.
If I'm not mistaken, Pang Zhongqiu himself is a second-grade little grandmaster, and he belongs to the pinnacle of second-grade little grandmasters like Tang Hexuan and Tong Yutang that we saw outside the imperial city that day.
Unless we set up a game, we will have a chance to kill him with all our strength, and if we are not careful, we will lose the whole game. ”
Wu Ya's words fell, and everyone in the room fell silent, if this is the case, if you want to take revenge, you don't know when it will be done. (To be continued.) )
