Chapter 6: Clues from the Dead
readx;
In the early hours of the morning, the wind was high in the dark night, and in this night with only hazy moonlight and almost no fingers, six figures climbed over the wall and crossed the mansion of Ashina's association. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first person is like a rabbit, and the high wall of Zhang Yu is ignored, it is Du He himself. One of the five people behind him is Qin Yu, the other is Huangfu Haohua, and the remaining three are the elites in the moon-stepping incense.
Moon-stepping incense does not major in light skills, but their martial arts are all taught by Du He himself. Du He is good at light skills, and their light skills are naturally not bad, maybe they can't do Du He and Qin Yu who don't need tools to fly the eaves and walk the wall, but with the help of equipment such as flying locks, climbing the wall is also a breeze.
Du He took the first step to make sure that there was no one in the courtyard, and with a wave of his hand, all five people appeared behind him.
"Where?" He asked Qin Yu, Wu Meiniang's intelligence network was just under construction, so naturally it couldn't bring them any favorable news, and everything still had the ability to stay on the moon.
Because he didn't know the defense situation of Ashina's mansion, just in case, Huangfu Haohua invited Qin Yu to visit Ashina's mansion at night. Huangfu Haohua's martial arts are above Qin Yu, but in terms of light skills, they are far from the same.
Qin Yu sneaked into the mansion of Ashina Association last night, and did not find out any favorable news, but unexpectedly found that the people in the mansion were digging holes and burying corpses.
That night, Qin Yu reported the matter to Huangfu Haohua.
Huangfu Haohua was steady and strategic, felt that this matter was extraordinary, and notified Du He as soon as possible.
Du He's thoughts are the same as Huangfu Haohua, Ashina is secretly planning something, in this critical bald killing, there must be a secret in the deceased, so he feels that it is necessary to start with that corpse. In the early morning of the next day, he took a group of people to investigate the matter in person, and decided to dig up the body of the deceased and investigate his identity.
Qin Yu remembered the place where the body was buried, and said in a low voice, "Three steps to the right of the third plane tree in the backyard!" "He was clever and clever, and when he found out about the suspicion, he had made a detailed note of where the body was buried.
When he came to the designated place, Du He saw that the surroundings were hidden, and there was no high place to see them from a distance, so he immediately ordered to excavate, and said: "Qin Yu, Haohua, we are guarding the front yard and the back yard and the atrium respectively, and notify them immediately if there is any movement." ”
Qin Yu and Huangfu Haohua were ordered.
The three of them were scattered along the main road and were responsible for the investigation, and the remaining three took out tools and covered the oil lamp with a black cloth, so that through the faint light of the black cloth, they excavated on the spot, and soon a corpse split in two, let them dig it out. Du Ho told them to restore the excavation site as much as possible, and left the mansion with the heads and corpses.
Du Fu partial courtyard.
Du He and his party cleaned the heads and corpses brought from the Ashina Society's mansion with water, and a bloodless face appeared and a bloodless headless corpse lay in the house.
After many years of battlefield career, Du He has long been accustomed to life and death. Although he has never dealt with dead bodies, he can face them calmly.
The same is true for Huangfu Haohua and the two members of the moon-stepping incense, only Qin Yu has encountered this situation for the first time, and he has a great sense of rejection and does not dare to look closely.
He does not insist on this, only animals will ignore life, but after a period of time, people will eventually become familiar and become indifferent.
Du He has never examined the body, but he has seen a lot of "Young Bao Qingtian", "Detective Di Renjie", "Da Song Ti Criminal Officer" and the like on TV, although most of the TV performances are exaggerated, but not all of them are fake, and some things are still worth learning. He examined the corpse according to the gourd drawing, and it really looked a little good.
Du He said: "The deceased's arm was irregularly broken into three pieces, but there was no scar on the arm, this was obviously not a blunt injury with a sharp weapon, it should be someone who used his palm or fist to penetrate the skin with force, directly breaking the bones, causing injury." It shows that the person who started it is a rare master. In addition, the wound on his head was extremely uneven, with tearing marks, not cut off with a sharp weapon, and his neck bone, which was severely broken and directly displaced, should be a fatal injury. If I hadn't miscalculated, someone would have broken his neck bone first, and then forcibly pulled his head off his body with great force. ”
As Du He said this, a sound of cold air resounded all around: how much force is needed to forcibly pull a person's head off the body.
Huangfu Haohua said solemnly: "In this way, the person who started it is likely to be Ashina himself. ”
Duhe asked, "What do you say?" ”
Huangfu Haohua said: "These days, we have been collecting news about the association rate of Ashina, judging from the information we have received. Ashina was a well-known Turkic warrior known for his ferocity and penchant for hanging his head on his body as a trophy. It is said that when he fought against Jieli Khan, after a great victory, he had one hundred and fifty-three heads on his body, and his whole body was full of them, and he was so frightened that the young children did not dare to cry. Judging from the severed arm on the deceased's hand, the person who killed him was ten times more martial arts than the deceased, and he could kill with one blow, but he chose the most laborious way to kill. can only explain that he is psychopathic and has a special preference for human heads, just like Ashina's association rate. ”
"I can let Ashina form a group and do it himself, it seems that the identity of the deceased is not ordinary!" Du He lowered his head and groaned, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's been a busy night, you guys go to sleep first!" Rest well, there are important things to do next, and you need to do it. Haohua, before resting, let someone check the identity of the deceased, I want his information. ”
Huangfu Haohua took the order and left.
Qin Yu and the other team members who stepped on the moon and left the fragrance also left one after another.
The fragrance of the moon is maturing day by day, and the efficiency of work can be described by a fast word.
That night, Duhe received news of the deceased.
"Ashinaka, a Turkic, thirty-six years old, once served as a centurion under the command of Ashina, and the two grew up together, had a close relationship, and have always been a confidant. The family has a mother, is settled in Shunyou County, Shunzhou, extremely filial, as soon as there is free, will go to Shunyou to visit his mother. ”
Du He crumpled the news he got into a paper ball, and said in a low voice: "Since Ashina Kara is Ashina's confidant, then something big must have happened between them. Otherwise, no matter how fierce and cruel Ashina's association rate is, he will not take such a hot hand with his henchmen. He has been planning a confidential matter recently, and there is a high probability that Ashnakara will die because of this matter, but he doesn't know what it is...... By the way, Ashinakara respects his mother so much, will the old man know anything? ”
Thinking like this, Du He immediately made a decision, found the body of Ashinakara who would be sewn up, and ordered Emperor Fu Haohua to send it to Shunyou County in person, and secretly handed it over to the old lady, explained everything, and asked for details.
Shunyou County is located in the state, in the past after the Tang Dynasty pacified the Turks, the tribe was selected to establish the state and county, Shunzhou was the Turkic tribe of the year, but now it is returned to the Tang Dynasty.
Huangfu Haohua was ordered by Du He to lead Ashinakara's corpse to Shunzhou. Shunzhou is located outside the Great Wall, gathered in Chang'an far away, Huangfu Haohua and three coachmen traveled day and night, sleepless for eight days before arriving in Shunyou County, Shunzhou.
Although Shunzhou is a state county, it is located on the grassland, and there is no city defense, everything is no different from the Turks in the past, and most people still live in tents. Of course, there will still be a few wooden buildings imitating the Tang Dynasty style, and there are many fertile fields around. It is the autumn harvest season, and the rice in the surrounding fields is blowing in the wind, and the ears of rice that have been bent down rise and fall.
With the help of the policies of the Tang Dynasty, most of the Turkic people gathered in Shunzhou began to make a living from agriculture, and only a small part still insisted on animal husbandry.
Shunzhou is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many merchants who come and go, and the appearance of Huangfu Haohua has not caused any turmoil. After inquiring about the residence of Ashinakara's mother, he quietly drove the carriage to the people's residence in the west of the county that night. There is a mansion built here in imitation of the Tang Dynasty house, which was built for the old man by Ashinakara in order to honor his mother with all his savings.
Huangfu Haohua knocked on the door, and in a short time a richly dressed woman came to answer the door, she was in her fifties, perhaps because of the hardships of her early years, her skin was dark and rough, and she was well-dressed, but she looked a little undecent.
"Old lady, are you Ashina's mother?" Huangfu Haohua said respectfully.
The old lady smiled kindly: "In our place, it was originally a tribe, and almost all of the tribes took Ashina as their surname, and there were many people called Ashina, and it was the same now. The Ashina you are talking about should be my son 'Kara'! ”
Huangfu Haohua nodded yes, and then said: "Old lady, I am Ling Lang's friend in Chang'an, and what I am going to say next is a little cruel to you, but please mourn and change." ”
When the old lady heard the "festival mourning and change", she still didn't understand what was happening, her face suddenly became pale and bloodless, and she took two steps back in disbelief.
Huangfu Haohua wordlessly took out Ashnakara's body from the carriage, for fear of the corpse decomposing, the corpse was stored in a wooden box filled with ice, and it was wet when it was pulled out, but because of this, the corpse was well preserved and there was nothing unusual.
He laid the body on the floor of the mat in the house.
The old lady threw herself on her beloved son's body, crying silently, the tears in her eyes couldn't help rolling down, the feeling of losing her beloved son, she was crushed at once, and the whole person seemed to have lost half her life.
After a long time, the old lady stroked Aiko's cheek, wiped the water on his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Who is it, who killed my son!" ”
Huangfu Haohua said: "Ashina association rate! ”
The old lady was silent for a while, and gritted her teeth and hated: "Sure enough, it's him, he has such a heavy hand, what a ruthless heart!" ”
Huangfu Haohua asked without moving: "Old lady, what do you seem to know?" ”
The old lady said sadly: "You are not my son's friend, my son likes to tell me about his affairs in Chang'an, and he has never said that he has friends in the Tang Dynasty...... Bring my son's body with me, and let me know the truth of all things, and I will tell you all that I know. ”
