Chapter 717: A Strange Cause of Death

"I didn't!" Di hated the sky and roared angrily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hmph, you keep saying that the third uncle is seriously ill and died, but how to explain the eight steel needles in the third uncle's body?" Di Qing snorted coldly.

Di Hatian's face was pale, and he suddenly knelt on the ground weakly, his eyes full of confusion.

Di Ying's brows tightened, he looked at Di Haotian, then at the regret in the coffin, and said to Di Qing: "Qing'er, you go with the guards, take him back to the Jianning Mansion to take care of him first!" I'm going to stay and take a closer look at the remains of the third uncle. ”

Di Qing nodded, and then escorted Li Yu and Jianning Tiewei to escort Di Haotian back to Chang'an City.

After everyone left, only the two Di Ying brothers and a few domestic servants remained.

Looking at Di Haotian's back, Di slammed his fists with hatred and wept: "The third uncle has been adrift for half his life, but I didn't expect it to end up like this." Second brother, can you be sure that the third uncle died from him? ”

Di Ying spread out his right fist, revealing eight half-finger-long steel needles, and said in a condensed voice: "These steel needles are all located at the main joints of the third uncle's remains, and the cause of death can basically be determined." ”

"Could it be that he really killed the third uncle with his own hands?" Di Huai asked in despair.

Di Ying shook his head and said, "Whether it was hatred of the sky and killing the third uncle, no one knows." After all, the third uncle has been dead for ten years. After a pause, Di Ying said solemnly: "Big brother, don't worry." In any case, I want to find out the truth about the death of the third uncle! ”

After saying this, Di Ying walked over to the coffin and examined it carefully.

Due to the age, the corpse has decomposed, and even most of the bones have been fused with the coffin, and it is difficult to find out the clues.

But even so, Di Ying still carefully cleaned the coffin and carefully transferred the remains inside to the new coffin for storage.

Half an hour later, all the bones were cleared.

However, apart from the remains, Di Ying found nothing.

Di Ying didn't give up, and still rummaged carefully in the coffin, for fear of revealing the slightest clue.

And just as Di Ying was inspecting the coffin, the servant who had been held hostage by Di Hatian suddenly shouted: "Two masters, come and see, there are words on the lid of this coffin!" ”

When Di Ying and Di Huai heard this, they hurriedly ran over.

Every coffin has a lid, and rightfully so.

When they opened the coffin, the lid was set aside, and no one cared about a messy lid.

Di Ying walked to the coffin lid, squatted down, brushed the dust from the coffin lid with his sleeve, and sure enough, he found a line of small characters.

"Second brother, what's written on it?" Di Huai leaned over and asked.

"This coffin has rotted, and the only words that can be recognized are the words 'Yongyang coffin'." Di Ying said in a deep voice.

"'Yongyang coffin'?" Di Huainian chattered a few times and said, "It must be the name of this coffin shop, right?" ”

Di Ying also nodded: "I think so too." ”

Di Huai touched his nose and said, "Since it's the name of the coffin shop, it must not matter." Second brother, how did you check? Are there any other clues? ”

Di Ying sighed and said, "Except for these eight steel needles, there are no other clues. ”

Di Huai paced a few steps and said, "One person counts short, and two people count long." Why don't we go back and discuss it with Canghai, maybe he can find out the truth. ”

Di Ying's eyes lit up, patted his head and said, "What the eldest brother said is very true, I actually forgot about his 'divine judgment'. Canghai has solved a lot of unsolved cases for many years, and he will definitely be able to find out the truth about the death of the third uncle! ”

After making a decision, the two took their servants to send the new coffin containing the remains to Yizhuang outside the city for temporary storage, and then returned to Chang'an City.

Back in Chang'an City, it was already evening.

As soon as Di Ying and the others entered the courtyard, they went to Li Canghai's room to look for him.

But Li Canghai was not in the room, and after Di Ying asked the servants and maids in the house several times, she knew that Li Canghai was in the study.

The two went to the study again.

In the study, Li Canghai was holding a wolf's hair, concentrating on writing something.

When the two saw Li Canghai, they were about to talk to him, but he stretched out his hand to stop them.

"Brothers, please take a seat, I already know what is on your mind." Li Canghai put down the wolf pen and said.

Di Huai and Di Ying glanced at each other and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Canghai, do you know what we want to say?" Di Ying asked.

Li Canghai didn't speak, but picked up a piece of paper and showed it to the two.

Seeing this, Di Ying and Di Huai were suddenly surprised in their hearts, and their eyes showed disbelief, looking at Li Canghai as if they were looking at a monster.

It turned out that there were only four words written on the paper: Yongyang coffin.

"Canghai, we haven't opened our mouths yet, how do you know that what we're about to say has something to do with it? Could it be that you really know that the Prophet's spell will not work? Di Ying asked in surprise.

Li Canghai smiled and said, "I don't know any spells, the reason why I know this is because I found that the person with the words on the coffin lid is me." ”

"You?" Di Ying and Di Huai were stunned for a moment.

"I clearly remember that I was a famous servant, how did I become you?" Di Huai asked confusedly.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently and said, "Because that servant is me, I am that servant." ”

Di Ying suddenly came to her senses and explained to Di Huai: "Big brother, that servant is actually made of the sea and disguise. No wonder I wonder how a servant could be so observant that he could even find the handwriting on the lid of a decaying coffin. ”

Di Huai instantly understood, but he still asked with some puzzlement: "Canghai, since you are following us, why are you disguised again?" ”

Di Ying said: "Big brother, have you forgotten that Canghai is now grounded by the Holy Lord and is not allowed to step out of the mansion?" If he goes out with us in a big way, in case it reaches the ears of the saints, this is a crime of deception! ”

Di Huai patted his head and suddenly realized: "I almost forgot this, I'm really confused." ”

"In fact, the younger brother disguised himself just to verify a conjecture in his heart. I didn't expect these things to happen. Li Canghai said.

"Canghai, what do you think about the death of the third uncle?" Di Ying asked.

Li Canghai groaned: "Judging from the steel needle found by the second brother in the remains of the corpse, it can be determined that the third uncle should have died of his murder. Qing'er also said that this 'eight-needle sealing acupoint' is an extremely cruel method of extorting confessions on the rivers and lakes, and its pain is absolutely unbearable. ”

After a pause, Li Canghai continued: "Other than that, there is the motive. This 'eight-needle sealing acupoint' is a method of extorting confessions, why is it used on the third uncle? Who is the murderer? What does the murderer want from the third uncle? ”

When Di Huai and Di Ying heard this, their faces instantly became extremely solemn. (To be continued.) )
