Chapter 642 is one after another to disturb people's hearts

Huangfu Wuqi stood at the door of Fang Zhengran's bedroom, looking at the large pool of blood on the ground in a daze. The three corpses have been cleaned out, among which Fang Zhengran's wife and personal maid were killed by cutting their throats, and their techniques were extremely skillful and light, only cutting the trachea without touching the artery, so the bleeding was not much. And the murderer's movements must have been extremely fast, because there was no look of horror on the faces of the two women.

Fang Zhengran was much more miserable, and his body was a little troublesome to clean up.

It is the same as the method of killing Song Yu, it is a knife in two sections and it is not cut horizontally, the blade is split from the forehead and out from the crotch, as if it has been accurately measured, there is almost no difference between the two corpses, and the most surprising thing is that the thing under the crotch is also split from the middle, which makes people have to say that this murderer is a very serious person, meticulous to the point of anger.

The corpses were okay, and the entrails and other slimy things were carried out in a dustpan and in a wooden barrel. Such a tragic murder scene is rare outside the battlefield, but it is precisely because Huangfu Wuqi has been on the battlefield that he concluded that the person who kills must come from the military, and only those who have experienced bloody killings on the battlefield will be so simple and decisive. And those killers in the underworld who collect money to kill people will never do such a bloody and disgusting thing unless the employer asks for it.

Only people who are accustomed to blood, accustomed to blood, and even like the feeling of blood will do such a perverted thing, which can also be understood that he regards killing Song Yu and Fang Zhengran as a battlefield fight, and the murderer's meticulous style of doing things, maybe he is just executing his military life in the way of a soldier.

The people of the Tang Chang'an military should have no reason to kill Fang Zhengran, the only reason to kill is Yan Wang Li Xian, but in fact, the reason for Yan Wang to kill is not a reason, if it is an impeachment in the imperial history, it will be killed quickly, and it will not take long for the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty to be killed by him. Moreover, there are only so many twenty entourages around this person, all of whom are under the supervision of the internal guards of the forbidden army, and someone who leaves the palace will inevitably be discovered.

Unless there is an inner response in his city.

Huangfu Wuqi firmly believed that there must be many spies of the Yanyun Army in Chang'an City, after all, the name of the Yanyun Army's military guards was extremely loud. If the dignified Yan King entered Chang'an City and did not prepare at all, then it would be meaningless for Li Xian to ask for this department. Huangfu Wuqi knew what the slogan of Yan Yunjun's military guards was, and in his previous opinion, this slogan was a bit idiotic, but now he knew that when an army, the stability of a regime is based on absolute loyalty to a person, this army and this regime will be extremely terrifying. And this man, even more terrifying.

All for the sake of King Yan.

This is the slogan of the military inspection guard, and it is also the purpose.

Since the existence of the military guard is for Li Xian, the king of Yan, then Li Xian should definitely not be a few in Chang'an City. If you want to hide from the forbidden army outside the Qi Palace, there is only one way, not to use the guards around you at all, but to use secret spies.

After Huangfu Wuqi thought of this, he immediately denied it.

If Li Xian really used secret spies to kill people, and he killed such an insignificant little person, wouldn't he have exposed all his strength? If it is the big man who is most resistant to Li Xian, such as Shang Shuzuo and Xiao Yu, it is understandable to use the strength in secret, but it is child's play to expose the strength of people like Song Yu and Fang Zhengran. Huangfu Wuqi never believed that Li Xian was an idiot.

He frowned and thought for a long time, but he still didn't sort out his head, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. The heart said that why did he think that the person was killed by Li Xian? It is also highly likely that someone deliberately led people to speculate in this direction. For example, those who oppose the emperor's reuse of Li Xian can completely rely on killing a few small people to arouse the emperor's vigilance. He is speculating that it is very likely that Li Xian will do it, doesn't the emperor think so?

Thinking of the scene where Song Yu's case was closed in the imperial study, Huangfu Wuqi was shocked for a while.

Since the emperor was unwilling to point the finger at Li Xian, the king of Yan, why did he do this? The crown prince is already dead, if it weren't for Wei Zheng, who was recommended by Xiao Yu to serve in the Ministry of Rites, who spoke for himself several times in front of the emperor, and Lord Pei Lin also did something in it, his career would have been cut off with the death of the prince.

The prince was by his side when he died, and failing to protect the prince was already the biggest dereliction of duty as an internal guard. It was already a blessing that the emperor did not give an order to cut off his own head, and now he can still sit on the chair of the servant of the criminal department, so he naturally has to cherish it even more. The Emperor would never allow himself to make another mistake, and the slightest mistake could lead to ruin.

Do you want to close the case in the same way that Song Yu died before?

Huangfu Wuqi sighed, and said in his heart that all such professional killing methods were pushed to the scoundrels, but he really lifted those splashes. Fang Zhengran and his wife and a personal maid died in the bedroom, and none of the people outside noticed it, which was too shocking anyway.

Do you want to play a fold?

This was the second problem that Huangfu Wuqi thought of, and this problem gave him even more headaches. But just as he was about to turn around and leave, a large group of people suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard, so they couldn't see their appearance clearly, but the purple official uniform on his body made people see his identity at a glance. You must know that only the court officials above the third rank can wear purple official uniforms, and the third rank or above can ...... is already a big man who stomps his feet and trembles on the ground.

……

……

Seeing that Huangfu Wuqi was a little dazed, a member of the Criminal Department hurriedly came over and reminded: "This is the new Master Dugu Xue Dugu of the Criminal Department, it turns out that he is the general of the prison guard, you know him." I just arrived today, and I heard that there was another murder, so I came to check it out in person. ”

The squire of the Criminal Department is an official of the fourth grade, and he is already extremely high, but as the saying goes, the official is a big one to crush people to death, and the emperor knows that this Duguxue is highly valued in front of the emperor, so he naturally does not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward a few times to give a big salute: "The lower official Huangfu is not strange, and I have seen Lord Shangshu." ”

"Brother Huangfu doesn't have to be polite, you and I are not outsiders, and besides, there are no outsiders here."

Dugu Xue waved his hand, walked to the door of Fang Zhengran's bedroom, looked at it, and asked directly, "What did you find?" ”

"My lord, the murderer is obviously the same person as Song Yu, the former Yushi of the murder. The method of killing is the same, and they are all cut in two...... But the point is that Song Yu's case has been closed. A few days ago, several scoundrels who killed people had been arrested, and His Majesty personally ordered them to be cut down at the entrance of the vegetable market. ”

"I know that."

Dugu Xue frowned slightly, and suddenly approached Huangfu Wuqi and said in a low voice: "Since the case is closed, it must not be the same group, you send someone to check if there is anyone in this Fang Ran Mansion who is dissatisfied with the other party, since it is not a splash, it is undoubtedly a bad slave." Your Majesty is also good at dealing with you, but there is one thing......"

He said in a solemn tone: "The case can be closed like this, but it must not be settled like this. Although His Majesty would like to see the case concluded in this way, he may not be comfortable in his heart. If you ask me in the future that you and I don't have anything in our hands, Your Majesty is afraid that it will be even more angry. Therefore, it must be investigated, and it should be preserved regardless of who has evidence on the head. If you don't need it now, who knows if you will use it in the future? ”

Huangfu Wuqi was stunned, and then admired Dugu Xue to the extreme. The heart said that it was not a loss, and he was a person who had served as a waiter in the criminal department in the court of the Great Sui, and he was much more cautious about doing these things. And Dugu Xue reminded himself like this, obviously showing goodwill, not because people need to win people's hearts when they first arrive in the Criminal Department, and it is not easy for his embarrassing status to make Dugu Xue show respect.

"Xia Guan understands!"

"This case must be concluded quickly, the evil slave killing the master is disgusting, and it should not be forgiven."

After Dugu Xue finished speaking, he took a step back, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Brother Huangfu is admirable, the real culprit was found so quickly in this case, it makes me ashamed, what will happen in the Criminal Department in the future, I hope that Brother Huangfu will not hesitate to professor." ”

Huangfu Wuqi knew that the other party was lifting himself, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My lord's praise, if it weren't for my lord's wisdom like a torch, I would have seen through the real murderer hiding in this courtyard at a glance, and the lower officials couldn't solve the case even if they wanted to break their heads." Thanks to the support of the adults, the officials thanked the adults. ”

Two people are playing, and a group of people are watching.

The case ended in such a ridiculous way.

……

……

The Imperial Study

Because the emperor's mental state has been extremely bad recently, the smell of sandalwood in the house seems to be much stronger than before. But Li Yuan's mood still can't be steady, let alone sandalwood, this will give him a whole altar of Du Kang, and he won't be able to solve his worries. The emperor, who frowned, looked at the person standing in front of him, and his tone was full of anger and helplessness.

"I don't want an ambiguous scene like yours, didn't I let you go to the Criminal Department early because of this? Huangfu Wuqi didn't know how to be an official, so he wrote such an idiot note. Dugu Xue ...... I think you're too good at being an official! ”

Dugu Xue said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, after all, if this matter is analyzed according to clues, it is indeed possible to involve King Yan." But without evidence, all hypothetical speculation is useless. Moreover, if King Yan wanted to kill Song Yu and Fang Zhengran, but did not use the people around him, then there must be his internal response in the city, how could King Yan not think of such an obvious thing? ”

"That's what I think."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "He shouldn't be so boring and boring, and he won't be so stupid." ”

"But it doesn't mean that King Yan is not suspicious."

Duguxue said truthfully.

"What did you just want to say? I said that there might be other possibilities before, so I continued. ”

Li Yuan asked.

"Chen is thinking, since it is so easy to make people think that the murderer may be King Yan's person, then could someone do it on purpose? After all, pointing to King Yan is too obvious, and people have to suspect that someone is deliberately causing trouble. ”

"Why?"

Li Yuan asked.

"Because some people don't like King Yan, and some people want him to die, even if he doesn't die, he will fall."

"Dugu Learning"

Li Yuan suddenly asked solemnly, "You tell me what you think." Don't lie or say perfunctory things, say whatever you think in your heart! ”

"I think it's ......"

Dugu Xue raised his head and looked at Li Yuan and said, "King Yan is not suitable to live in Chang'an for a long time. ”

"I ...... Tomorrow, he will be summoned to the palace and asked him to lead the troops to assist Li Xiaogong in suppressing Xiao Xiao. ”

At this time, Gao Liansheng's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Fu of the Criminal Department has no surprise to ask to see." ”

"Let him in!"

After Huangfu Wuqi entered the door, he first glanced at Dugu Xue, and then said in a somewhat panicked tone: "Just an hour ago, someone sneaked into the mansion where Shangshu's left servant shot Lord Xiao Yu and committed murder, but fortunately, Lord Xiao Yu was not in the mansion, and only a few people died. The murderer has fled, and the officials of Chang'an Mansion are pursuing it. ”

"Is it the other way around?"

Li Yuan was furious, stood up and scolded: "The Chang'an City that really deserves me is ......"

Before the words could be spoken, suddenly Pei Lin hurried in from outside and said eagerly: "Your Majesty...... Half an hour ago, Li Xian, the king of Yan, was assassinated......"
