Chapter 540: The Mysterious Man

"Sir, I'll stay and help you too!" Li Yu rolled up his sleeves and said very enthusiastically.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's enough for me and Brother Conan here, so the prince should go back and rest in peace." ”

Li Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Yu's words: "You will only help some people if you stay, and go back to sleep honestly!" ”

Hearing Li Qi's words, Li Yu suddenly became honest.

He rubbed his nose, sighed helplessly, and had to follow Li Qi behind him in despair and leave the East Cross Courtyard.

After the two left, in this east courtyard, only Li Canghai, Xue Xuan and Conan, as well as some guards, were left.

"Brother Conan, I'm going to have to work hard for you again." Li Canghai said.

Conan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li is polite, being able to investigate the case with Brother Li is a blessing in the next three lives." What's more, this matter is related to the three major artifacts, and it is my duty to find out the truth. ”

The two of them already cherished each other, glanced at each other, and laughed tacitly at the same time.

When the Zhang family investigated the truth of the murder, the two had an extremely tacit understanding.

Conan is not familiar with the customs of the Tang Dynasty, but he has a keen insight and can find many subtle clues.

Although Li Canghai is unable to move, he has a very special understanding of human feelings and sophistication, and can infer from subtleties.

The two of them moved and cooperated, and they had an extremely amazing tacit understanding.

It is precisely because of this that Li Canghai was able to find out the truth of the Zhang family's murder case in just two days.

Li Canghai asked the officials to put the bodies of the twelve guards together, and then began to examine the bodies one by one.

Conan, on the other hand, surveyed around the side room.

"The tongue was located between the upper and lower foreheads, it was not suffocation, there were no visible injuries on the body, and there were no signs of poisoning. Strange, how did these guards die? Li Canghai inspected the body while talking to himself.

Li Canghai examined all the corpses, but found nothing, as if they had just been suddenly removed from their souls and died silently, which made him frown suddenly.

Just when he was confused, he suddenly noticed that one of the dead Jianning Tiewei was clenching his right hand, as if he was holding something.

He forcefully broke the guard's right hand and took out an egg-sized jade pendant from the guard's hand.

This jade pendant is carved with a lifelike blood-eyed wolf, this blood-eyed wolf looks up to the sky and roars, although it is only a carving, but it gives people a very intuitive feeling of coldness and tyranny.

Li Canghai flipped through the jade pendant and found that on the back of the jade pendant, there was a row of strange characters engraved, which was different from Chinese characters, but similar to the Arabic characters he knew in his previous life.

Li Canghai's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately thought that this might be the murderer's item.

At this time, Conan walked over with a frown, and he said, "Brother Li, I have noticed something strange. ”

"Oh? What did Brother Conan find? Li Canghai put away the jade pendant and asked.

Conan said in a deep voice, "I found some signs of a fight around the house. ”

"Traces of a fight?" Li Canghai couldn't help but be stunned, he touched his chin and muttered: "This is impossible, they have no scars on their bodies, which means that they have not fought with anyone, not to mention, their weapons are not unsheathed, how can there be traces of fighting?" ”

"It's really weird, and on top of that, I found this near the fight." As he spoke, Conan spread out his right hand, revealing a steel needle as thin as a hair.

"Shadowless needles?" Xue Xuan was surprised when she saw the needle.

Li Canghai hurriedly took the needle in his hand and observed it carefully. Indeed, as Xue Xuan said, this millineedle is exactly the same as the millineedle that killed Feng Shisanniang and others in Luoyang Prison.

Li Canghai suddenly thought of something, and immediately ordered someone to find a magnet, and then searched for the corpses of the twelve deceased one by one.

Sure enough, he found deadly needles from each corpse.

"Tang Ao!" Xue Xuanxiu's eyebrows frowned, and her pretty face became ugly.

Li Canghai frowned, he didn't speak, stared at those needles for a long time, and then he suddenly asked, "Xuan'er, do you recognize this?" ”

As he spoke, Li Canghai handed over the jade pendant in his hand to Xue Xuan.

Xue Xuan took the jade pendant, looked at it over and over, and said, "I have never seen this jade pendant, but I recognize that the text on it is Turkic." ”

"Turkic?" Li Canghai was a little surprised, "You might see what it means?" ”

Xue Xuan shook his head and said, "I've seen Turkic language, but I don't recognize it. ”

Li Canghai sighed, and after thinking about it, he then asked, "Xuan'er, Tang Ao is not a Turk, right?" ”

Xue Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "No, Tang Ao was born in the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, but he is an authentic Tang person, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Li Canghai lowered his head, he looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and then looked at the shadowless needle placed next to him, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that Tang Ao killed the guards first, and then wanted to steal the three major artifacts, but at this time, a mysterious person came to stop Tang Ao and fought with him.

The more Li Canghai thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but what puzzled him was, what was the identity of the mysterious person?

As far as he knew, Tang Ao was Yang Guozhong's subordinate, and he must have discovered the trap set by Li Canghai against the Sang Island Ronin, and knew that the three major artifacts were not sent out of Yangzhou City, so he took advantage of Li Canghai's full strength to deal with the Sang Island Ronin, sneaked into the county guard's mansion, and tried in vain to steal the three major artifacts while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos.

If Tang Ao had an obvious goal, to kill people in order to seize the three major artifacts, but what was the intention of that mysterious person?

If it was really as he guessed, the mysterious man stopped Tang Ao, then it was very likely that his purpose was to protect the three major artifacts.

However, the people related to the three major artifacts are all dealing with the Mulberry Island Ronin, who else cares so much about the three major artifacts?

Could it be that the mysterious man is a man in the rivers and lakes? His target is also the three major artifacts? It's just that you haven't had time to steal the three major artifacts yet?

But after thinking about it, Li Canghai felt that it was a little unlikely.

First of all, the matter of the three major artifacts is a secret of the imperial court, and no one else knows about it except for Li Canghai and others.

Secondly, even if this news spreads to the rivers and lakes, absolutely no one will dare to fight the idea of the three major artifacts.

No matter how powerful the rivers and lakes are, they are no bigger than the imperial court, and no sect or gang dares to be an enemy of the imperial court.

But what is the identity of the mysterious man? What exactly is his purpose? This made Li Canghai feel confused.

"Perhaps, only by finding out the identity of the mysterious person can we know his purpose!" Li Canghai thought to himself for a while, and decided to start investigating from the jade pendant in his hand.

"Brother Li, what are you thinking?" Conan asked. (To be continued.) )
