Chapter 390: The mystery of Meng Xian's ambush
An Qi, this name Meng Yan kept him in his heart, although he was not the real Meng Yan.
But what he now occupies is Meng Yan's body, so he is obliged to accept his qiΔ, including hatred.
"On the night of Lord Meng Xian's death, he went to a house called Tie Meng to drink happy wine, right?"
"I know this, Tie Meng is helping out in my honeycomb coal workshop now." Meng Yan nodded.
"Lord Meng Xian usually doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, but he drank three glasses that night, which is very strange?"
"It's not surprising, my father and Tie Meng had a fateful relationship, that day his apprentice got married, my father made an exception and drank three glasses, and I know the amount of my father's wine, two or three catties of wine is not a problem!" Meng Yan explained.
"I see."
"After my investigation, after Lord Meng Xian finished eating the wedding wine, he went home alone, Wan Yan had followed the route of Lord Meng Xian home many times in the same time, and I found the place where Lord Meng Xian was ambushed!"
"Where?" Meng Yan was very surprised, Wanyan Xiaobai's investigation really surprised him a little.
"Young master, do you have a map here?"
"Maps, naturally!" Meng Yan said, "Let's go, go to my office." β
"Office?"
"It's the study, I'm used to calling it that." Meng Yan explained with a slight smile.
The two returned to the office.
Meng Yan took the topographic map of the Beijing Division, and his map had been corrected by the Treasurer Brigade of the Craftsman Division, and I am afraid that even the Military Department or the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies did not have his refinement.
"Young master, this map ......" Wanyan Xiaobai saw Meng Yan's map. Exclaimed.
"This is what I brought to draw by myself, at a scale of 1:500, and the entire capital is on this map." Meng Yan explained.
"It's too delicate, every street, every shop, there's a mark on it?"
"It's just marked with some relatively large or well-known stores, and if it's too small, it's not labeled." Meng Yan Road.
"I've never seen a map so thin anywhere in the Judge!"
"Hehe......" Meng Yan couldn't help but feel a little proud, this was his brainchild in the past two months, with this map. In Beijing, he won't get lost with his eyes closed.
"Young master. This is the blacksmith camp alley, Tie Meng's home was in this location, by the street, and the Meng Mansion was in Sichengfang. Return to Sichengfang from Blacksmith Camp Hutong. The nearest road. Wan Yan Xiaobai drew a line on the map with his finger.
"The blacksmith camp alley is just on the edge of the root of the North Imperial City. My dad is a delicate man, he will definitely choose the shortest distance to go home, but if something happens in the middle. He's going to change his mind, too. Meng Yan said.
"From the blacksmith camp alley, it will take a stick of incense at the earliest, if you walk, it will take at least half an hour, and Lord Meng Xian rode there that night, right?"
"Yes, Uncle Tie mentioned it, it is indeed a horse." Meng Yan recalled for a moment and nodded.
"When did Lord Meng Xian leave?"
"I guess it wasn't until the end of the day, so I left very early, because my home was a little far."
"When did you find out that Lord Meng Xian had drowned?"
"Early the next morning!" Meng Yan said, "But I know that in fact, they got the body back at night, and it was announced the next day." β
"Beicheng District is inhabited by some poor people and ordinary soldiers' families, it is a large place, sparsely populated, and if you ambush it here, it is the best, because it is the least likely to alarm people." Wanyan Xiaobai analyzed.
"Go on." Meng Yan nodded.
"Wan Yan thinks that there are two places where Lord Meng Xian may be ambushed in the end, first, there is a small forest in the east of Bao'en Temple, where basically no one will pass at night, and there are woods to cover it, and the ambusher is not easy to find, and the second is here, that is, the place where Lord Meng Xian fell into the water as they said, there are not many residents near here, there are mostly workshops, there are still people here during the day, but at night, there is basically no one."
"These two places are indeed good places for ambushes, one is convenient for ambushes, ambushed in the woods, the vision is not clear at night, it is easy to get a sudden shot, this place can also hide their tracks, since there is no one, they can completely hide in the alley, and when people arrive, they can suddenly kill, it is as easy to succeed." Meng Yan nodded, Wanyan Xiaobai's analysis of these two locations has a certain amount of truth.
"Young Master ......"
"Call me sir, so I can listen better." Meng Yan interrupted.
"My lord, Wan Yan thinks that although Lord Meng Xian is lame, he is also a master in the Jinyi Guard, and if he wants to kill him, there is no master of the same level, and it is not enough to rely on the number alone, so Wan Yan guessed that there were at least three masters of the same level as Lord Meng Xian to participate in the ambush that night!"
"Well, you say a lot of that, but I'm ignoring that." Meng Yan nodded, he was just looking for the murderer, but he didn't think of killing Meng Xian, it was not an easy thing.
Although Meng Yan in his memory left his father very early, his martial arts were all passed down from his father's words and deeds when he was a child.
Of course, if it weren't for the good body polished by the dead Meng Yan, Meng Yan might not have been able to escape back to Daming from Mobei.
My father is a master, and he is also good at using knives, and he is a real knife master.
Knife!
Meng Yan had a flash of inspiration in his mind!
How could I forget such an important thing, Meng Xian's saber, although the imperial court created a regulated embroidered spring knife for Jinyiwei, but Meng Yan's saber, like Meng Yan, was specially rebuilt.
His Heavenly Wolf Knife was created for him by Lu Jian under the guidance of Tie Meng, although his skills were not perfect, but in the world, it was already at the top level.
And Meng Xian's saber, Meng Yan's memory clearly remembers that it was made by Tie Meng's mentor Old Man Shao himself.
Knife name: Blood Weeping!
After Meng Xian's death, it seems that his portable saber has disappeared, and it does not seem to be mentioned in the investigation file given to him by Guo Nu.
Was it forgotten, or was it deliberately ignored?
With Guo Nu's old way. It is impossible to forget that, it may be deliberately ignored, maybe the person behind it, he can't move, he can only make such a choice.
Since she can't move it, why does Aunt Sai continue to investigate, judging from the situation, Aunt Sai knows the contents of the dossier.
Is it to confuse the opponent and deliberately close the case first, and then secretly investigate?
If so. Then why didn't they sue themselves? Afraid that you will impulsively take revenge and cause a big mess?
Maybe there is such a worry, if he is really that Meng Yan, then impulsively. You can really do some of the things that young people do.
Their concerns are understandable.
"These investigations. Did you do it all alone? Meng Yan asked.
"Yes. In order to ensure the secrecy of this matter, all the investigations were carried out in secret, and even I could only get some words out of the mouth. And you can't ask directly, so as not to startle the snake. Wan Yan Xiaobai nodded.
"Miss Wanyan, thank you, thank you for doing so much for our father and son!" Meng Yan bowed deeply to Wanyan Xiaobai.
"Don't do this, adults, this is what Wanyan should do." Wanyan Xiaobai hurriedly replied.
"Anyway, I want to thank you for suing me for this." Meng Yan said, "You track down Jiao Hong and He Wendong, are they also related to my father's killing?" β
"Wan Yan just wanted to start with the case pursued by Lord Meng Xian to see if he could find relevant clues, but he didn't expect to bump into you, my lord."
"You want to make a deal with me just to look at those books and see if you can find any clues, right?"
"Half is, and half isn't." Wanyan Xiaobai said shyly.
"And what's the other half?" Meng Yan asked.
"Wanyan didn't dare to say it."
"You dare to make a deal with me, what else is there you not to say?" Meng Yan couldn't help but wonder, this woman is really a contradictory animal.
"My lord, Wanyan actually wants to test the adult, to see how the adult handles the adaptability, is it worth Wanyan to follow?" Wanyan Xiaobai said in a low voice.
"Well, that's pretty right, do you get the answer?" Meng Yan thought for a while, and from Wanyan Xiaobai's point of view, this is a question that should be considered.
"I have the answer." Wan Yan said with a red face.
"Oh, I see, where do you live, if there's something, I'll go to you?" Meng Yan didn't ask.
"Wanyan opened a rouge shop diagonally opposite Songhe Tower, the name of the shop: Cardamom Nianhua, if there is something wrong with the adult, send someone there to find me directly." Wanyan Xiaobai said.
"Cardamom years, this name is good, I remember it!" Meng Yan nodded, "I'll send someone to send you back." β
"Hmm!" Wan Yan Xiaobai nodded.
"Tianxing, come in!"
"My lord, are you looking for me?" Lin Tianxing walked in hard, and was a little embarrassed when he saw Wanyan Xiaobai, whose face was as red as rouge.
"After sending Miss Yan back, by the way, I will help her revoke the detention procedures just now." Meng Yan commanded.
"My lord, you want me to send her back?"
"Why, do you want me to run for myself?" Meng Yan glared.
"No, no, my lord, I'll send, I'll send!"
"Miss Wanyan's place is not far from Songhe Tower, you go to Songhe Tower by the way, tell sΓΉ Xiaoyu, and say that I may go back a little later tonight, so that she doesn't wait for me to eat." Meng Yan commanded again.
"Okay."
Lin Tianxing sent Yan Xiaobai back to the "Cardamom Years", and entered the Songhe Tower as soon as he raised his feet.
Women, you have to have a feminine taste, in addition to entering the kitchen and hall, you also learn how to teach your husband and children.
This is a necessary skill to be a good wife and a good mother, from this point of view, it makes sense for Guo Nu to force Guo Yue to learn female redness.
Wen Xiaoyu didn't want to be a woman who could only sew pants, she studied high-end: embroidery.
This embroidery was not learned in a day or two, and she had no time to take care of the Songhe Tower and collect intelligence.
Now it's okay, there is Lin Yi in the back kitchen, and Wu Banxian at the front desk, this guy is really quick to get started, he talks to people when he meets people, and he talks nonsense when he seals ghosts, and the business of Songhe Tower is in his hands for just a few days, and it is even better than a few years ago.
She can also rest assured to be a hands-off shopkeeper. (To be continued......)
