Chapter 386: Who dares to call a hero
A dragoon guard opened the closed door and stood sideways.
Standing at the door of the private room, Liu Wei did not rush in, but looked around the small private room, and even every corner of the wall in the room, his vision did not leave a dead end.
Three-story private rooms, each of which is the same size, and the layout is not much different. This private room, like the other rooms, has four low tables and is nothing particularly noteworthy.
If anything, there were two glasses of tea that had been completely cold on one of the low tables.
Guoyuan's corpse was sitting against the wall, and when the officers and soldiers of the partial battalion came, the door was full of people, because there was a corpse sitting in the house, everyone was just watching but for fear of causing trouble, and no one dared to enter without permission. It is precisely because of this that the scene of the crime was not destroyed.
"You wait outside!" After observing every corner of the house, Liu Wei first gave an order to the dragoons, then beckoned to Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi, and led the two into the private room.
Walking to Guoyuan's corpse, Liu Wei squatted down, carefully looked at the corpse's face and the messy clothes on his body for a while, and then reached out and pressed behind the corpse's ear, and pressed his head to the side again.
"There are no signs of a fight!" After a brief inspection of the corpse, Liu Wei stood up, looked down at Guo Yuan, who was sitting against the wall and had died, and said to Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi who were standing behind him: "The neck of the deceased was tornly broken, which shows that the perpetrator is a person who the deceased knew well before his death, and this person's humanity must be not small. He should have struck suddenly from behind, and the deceased was completely defenseless in advance, which shows that the murderer had already started the murder before entering the house, and it was definitely not a temporary intention! ”
With these words, he bent down again, picked up a cup of tea on the low table, looked at the tea that he had not drunk a sip, and then said, "The tea is already cold, but it has not been moved, and it must have been brought here when the maidservant found the deceased." ”
Listening to Liu Wei's analysis, Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi glanced at each other. They can also see what Liu argued, but they don't know if they can find the murderer with these clues.
Walking to the window, Liu Wei looked down at the edge of the window, frowning slightly. After a long time, he said to Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi who came over: "The dust on the windowsill is still there, and the murderer definitely didn't climb out of the windowsill." In this way, the maid who delivers the tea is very crucial! ”
"Someone!" Without waiting for Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi to speak, Liu Wei shouted outside the door.
A dragoon guard heard the shout, entered the private room, and stood at the door with his hands clenched into fists, waiting for Liu Wei to give instructions.
"Go to the first floor and call the officer!" Glancing at the dragoon guard standing by the door, Liu Wei gave him an order in a very indifferent tone.
"No!" The dragoon answered the call, exited the private room, and ran down the stairs as fast as he could, calling the officer.
After a while, the officer who had been summoned, under the guidance of the dragoon guard, ran up to the third floor, stood outside the door of the private room, and bowed to Liu Wei in the house with both hands in his fists: "Your Highness Qiqi, Wei Wu, the head of the partial camp, is here!" ”
"Wei Wu, come here!" Hearing the officer's words, Liu Wei, who was standing in the room looking down at Guoyuan's corpse, beckoned to him and said to him, "This king has something to ask you!" ”
"No!" Wei Wu responded, bowed slightly, and entered the private room.
"Have you asked the maidservant about the incident?" When Wei Wu entered the house and stood still, Liu Wei faced him, put his hands behind his back, and asked him, "Besides the maidservant, how many people were present in this room at that time?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!" Wei Wu clenched his fists again and bowed down, and said to Liu Wei: "We have already asked the maidservant girl, the name and surname of the owner here, and everyone in the store does not know, only that he is a native of the Central Plains who returned from Liaodong, but no one knows where he is from. Earlier he entered the house with him another man, who was dressed in a deep cloth garment, and did not look like a noble man, but the master here was unusually respectful to him. The two entered the private room, but in an instant, the maidservant brought tea, but when the tea was delivered, there were only corpses in the house, and the man in Tsing Yi didn't know where he went. ”
After listening to Wei Wu's words, Liu Wei frowned slightly, raised his feet and walked out of the private room.
Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi, who went up to the third floor with him, glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.
Following behind Liu Bian, seeing him push open the private room adjacent to the scene of the crime, Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi were full of confusion, not knowing what Liu Bian was doing.
"He's from here!" Entering the private room on the left hand side of the scene, Liu Wei looked around at the furnishings in the private room, and said to Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi: "This person is clever and courageous, and after the murder, he swaggered away from the scene of the crime, but no one saw the clues. ”
"How does Your Highness know that the murderer has left here?" Standing behind Liu Wei, Yuan Xi frowned slightly and asked him, "How is it that the last general didn't see the slightest flaw?" ”
"At the scene of the crime, the dust on the windowsill has not fallen, and the murderer has only one way to go!" Looking back at Yuan Xi, Liu Wei smiled at him and said to him, "Leave from the main gate!" ”
Listening to Liu Wei's analysis, Yuan Xi and Deng Zhan both felt a little incredible. The murderer was in the private room with the owner of Lingyun Pavilion, before they entered the private room, there were not a few people who saw them, how could they leave directly from the main entrance, and no one would find out?
"This room is the key!" Seeing the doubts on the faces of Yuan Xi and Deng Zhan, Liu Wei smiled slightly, pointed to a cup of tea on the low table in the room, and said to the two: "This is where the friends are, if you wait, will you drink tea here alone?" ”
As soon as Liu Wei said this, Deng Zhan and Yuan Xi glanced at each other again, and both of them looked abrupt, obviously understanding the meaning of Liu Wei's words.
"The people in the house must be waiting for the murderer!" Walking to the low table, Liu Wei bent down to pick up the tea that he had never drunk at all, and while looking at the tea cup, he said: "The tea has not moved, and the people who sit here and wait have a much worse temperament than the murderer." Just because he was nervous, he didn't even take a sip of tea. If the king's guess is correct, it means that the person here should have prepared a different color of clothing in advance. Since this place is adjacent to the scene of the crime, after the murderer succeeds, he can quickly enter the house, change into clothes, and leave with the people in the house, so as to deceive everyone's ears and eyes! ”
"But the murderer's appearance ......" Before Liu Bian's words fell, Deng Zhan pinched his chin with one hand, frowned slightly, and said very suspiciously: "Could it be that no one is paying attention?" ”
"The general ignored one!" This time, without waiting for Liu Wei to speak, Yuan Xi on the side said: "Your Highness has already said that the people in this room have prepared a different color of clothing in advance. When strangers meet, the first thing they recognize is their clothes, especially the color......"
"It's a pity!" As soon as Yuan Xi's words were finished, Liu Wei shook his head and said to the two: "The murderer is among the guests, and the officers and soldiers of the partial battalion came here, but they just took down the people who were originally waiting in the building, but let all the guests go, so it is to let the tiger return to the mountain, if you want to find it, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" ”
"Wei Wu!" Putting the tea cup in his hand on the low table, Liu Wei shouted out of the door, and only when Wei Wu, who did not follow up this room after coming out of the next door, entered the room, did he say to Wei Wu: "You immediately go to the Luoyang Mansion, pass on the order of this king, investigate the identity of the owner of Lingyun Pavilion, and be sure to find out where he comes from, what enemies he has, or who he has a conflict of interest!" Tell them that the king will only give them three days, and that if they find out, they will report to the king immediately! ”
"No!" Wei Wu responded with a fist, took two steps back, and walked out of the room before turning around and running downstairs.
"Little General!" When Wei Wu left, Liu Wei walked to the window, looked at the people downstairs who were still waiting to see the excitement, and said to Yuan Xi, who was standing in the house: "I'm afraid that the matter has not been clarified, you can't leave Luoyang for the time being!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder!" Clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Liu Wei's back, Yuan Xi said with a little emotion in his tone: "It's just that the mission of the last general has not been completed, and now I have to delay my return, I don't know how I will be punished by my father......"
"There's no one else here!" Without waiting for Yuan Xi to finish speaking, Liu Wei turned around and said to him: "What was discussed at the beginning is not undecisive, but it is not yet ...... time."
At this point, he stopped talking, smiled meaningfully at Yuan Xi, and then said to Deng Zhan on the side: "The facts of the case are already clear, we just need to return to the mansion and wait for the identity of the owner of Lingyun Pavilion to be clear, and many things will be clear!" ”
Dropping these words, Liu Wei raised his feet and walked towards the outside of the house. Deng Zhan then followed out of the house, leaving only Yuan Xi standing alone in the private room, reminiscing about the half of what Liu Wei said to him.
When Liu Wei and Deng Zhan were about to reach the staircase, Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly opened, he understood the meaning of his words, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly chased out of the room.
Although he had already clarified the meaning of Liu Wei's words, Yuan Xi didn't ask much, followed Liu Wei downstairs, and went straight out of Lingyun Pavilion.
Soon after Liu Wei and the others left Lingyun Pavilion, the officers and soldiers of the partial battalion who came to block the scene left the scene of the crime with Guo Yuan's body and went straight to the Luoyang official mansion.
Leaving Lingyun Pavilion, Liu Wei rode his horse, and while moving forward slowly, he asked Yuan Xi, who was walking on his right, "Has the little general ever been to Luoyang before?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!" Riding on horseback, Yuan Xi hugged his fist and arched his hand at Liu Wei, and said to him: "Luoyang is the birthplace of the last general, but when my father offended Dong Zhuo, in order to avoid trouble, he moved his family. ”
"Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, not only did this king almost suffer, but in this world, there are many people who have been poisoned by it!" Looking at the street in front of him, Liu Wei first sighed, then smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Yuan Xi on the side, and said to him: "But it has also achieved countless heroes!" ”
"Your Highness is a hero in the world, who in the world dares to call a hero?" Hearing some different meanings from Liu Wei's words, Yuan Xi hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Those who use soldiers everywhere to respect themselves, in the eyes of His Highness, I am afraid they are just a group of dogs!" ”
Liu Wei turned his head and looked ahead, and when Yuan Xi finished speaking, the corners of his mouth maintained that indifferent smile, as if he had no intention of saying to Yuan Xi at all: "Yuan Benchu of Jizhou, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, is the hero of the world who can turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain in this world!" ”
