"The source of the tip is an important secret, how can it be revealed casually?" Zhu Hongmao said unhurriedly.

"Exactly." Liu Taishou immediately agreed, "For the sake of secrecy, as long as it does not affect the investigation of the case, there is no need to investigate the source of the informant." ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, and tried very hard to cover the high pillow.

As the saying goes, 'pull out the radish and bring out the mud', in case it is found out in the court that the prince of Qiujun is involved in the case in order to snatch a horse, where should the old face of the king of Qiujun go?

And for me, it doesn't seem necessary to drag the high pillow into the water at this time.

In the final analysis, this second ancestor is just an accidental factor in the whole case, and without him, it will not be of much help to arrest the real murderer.

Is that really the case?

I thought about it carefully and decided to abandon this issue for the time being, and changed my words: "After you caught me, how did you deal with so many corpses in Aquila Castle?" ”

"I left a few brothers to guard the body." Zhu Hongmao replied, "For specific situations, you should ask my deputy Zhang Zhidong." ”

Zhang Zhidong stood next to Zhu Hongmao, and he confessed: "My brother and I were ordered to stay in the Aquila Fort, because there were not enough manpower, so we could only patrol the front and back yards in shifts until dawn, and after handing over to the Akiyama soldiers who came to protect the scene, we did not leave the Aquila Fort......

"Wait!" I asked, "The case of Aquila Fort should be under the jurisdiction of the Taishou Yamen, why did the Akiyama Army intervene?" ”

"What's so strange about that." Liu Taishou said, "There are many dead people in the Tianying Fort case, and it involves martial arts people, and this official thinks that the yamen has limited manpower and is difficult to deal with the emergency situation, so he specially asked the Qiushan army to assist. ”

"Oh? The intervention of the army turned out to be too guarded by you? "My eyes lit up, and something flashed through my mind.

This sentence says at least two things.

First, the Akiyama Army is stationed in Aquila Castle, which is a big trouble for the people behind the scenes, and the people who will do this kind of troublesome thing (Liu Changjun) will obviously not be the people behind the scenes or their accomplices (no matter how stupid it is, there is a limit).

Second, the mastermind behind the scenes could not directly interfere with the actions of the Akiyama army, otherwise they would never have been able to sit idly by and watch this troublesome thing happen.

As soon as these two things are considered, the real question comes - since neither the Taishou Yamen nor the Akiyama Army are the direct forces behind the scenes, how did this person use the Taishou Yamen and the Akiyama Army to spread a net against me?

In my mind, the ethereal outline of the mastermind behind the scenes finally became clearer.

But that's not enough, what else am I missing?

Syllable!

The sound of the startling wood woke me from my contemplation.

"What other questions do you have?" Liu Taishou said sharply.

"No, keep going." I waved.

"Next is the murder of General Mo." Master Xu said, "At the time of the crime, the Ink Dyeing Hall was surrounded by the Akiyama Legion, and it was difficult for a fly to fly away, so the murderer must be one of the people present at the time, and among the people present, Gao Shizi, Lord Liu, General Li, and Yunxiu girl testified to each other, they must not be murderers." The rest are all members of the Mo family, and there is no reason to kill General Mo, the only person who has both the time and the opportunity to commit the murder - only you! ”

Master Xu's words were like spittle, and I couldn't help but take a few steps back, so as not to be sprayed in the face by saliva, but in the eyes of others, I was more like being bombarded by Master Xu's mouth and falling backwards, and I was no longer able to parry.

"Let's look at the last case of the tunnel through the mountain." Seeing that I had no intention of arguing, Master Xu continued triumphantly. "This case stems from the fact that you fled from the Ink Dye Hall after committing the murder, but were blocked by the defenders in the tunnel through the mountain, so you simply blew up the tunnel entrance, threatening the lives of thousands of civilians in a vain attempt to find a chance to escape - this is an ironclad fact, and you cannot deny it!"

After the crimes were counted, Master Xu craned his neck and puffed up two dead fish eyes to stare at me fiercely.

For some reason, I felt a green beam on my head tremble violently, as if it was going to fall down at any moment.

It's really overwhelmingly not good.

Can I just watch the truth be buried in the infinite darkness?

"Suspect, now the facts are there, and the evidence is ironclad." Mrs. Liu took the case, "If you can't put forward more effective counter-evidence, then according to the laws of this dynasty, these charges should be decided!" ”

"Wait a minute." Someone outside the yamen suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, I'm going in." ”

"Who's making noise outside the door?" Liu Taishou was furious when he heard this, "Drive me away!" ”

"Wait!" I raised an eyebrow and raised my hand, "I ask for a witness to be called." ”

"You want to call that witness?" Mrs. Liu said suspiciously.

"It's the guy outside the door." I shrugged.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Liu swooped the case and said, "How can this person be a witness if he disturbs the court?" ”

"If shouting a few times outside the yamen is to disturb the public court, then who else dares to complain?" I took a step forward and looked at Liu Taishou with both eyes.

Liu Taishou hesitated for a moment, then looked at the King of Qiujun, and finally sat down and waved his hand: "Let him in." ”

Who is this man who is screaming outside the court?

"Master, master." Xiao Yuanba ran in with a fart.

"What, this is your apprentice?" Liu Taishou was stunned.

"Can't my apprentice be a witness?" I grinned.

"I know you." Liu Taishou looked at Xiao Yuanba carefully, "You are the sword boy of this year, why did you leave the Sword Gong Temple?" ”

Choosing a sword boy can be regarded as a grand event in Qiu County, and there are not a few people who recognize Xiao Yuanba.

"I also recognize you, you are the official master." Xiao Yuanba rubbed his nose and said, "There is such a big movement on the mountain, the Sword Ancestral Hall is about to be destroyed, how can I stay?" ”

Liu Changjun looked at Xiao Yuanba, and then at me, and for a while he couldn't figure out the development trend of things.

"Lord Liu, can I question the witnesses?" I raised my hand.

"Just ask." Liu Taishou frowned.

"Okay, let me ask you......" I was domineering to Xiao Yuan, "who is Wang Erhu Mazi?" How did he die? Did you get the bones back? ”

"Wang Erhu Mazi is a soldier, he seems to have died in battle when he was suppressing bandits, and his bones are not allowed to be taken." Xiao Yuanba replied in one breath.

"Don't ask anything unrelated to this case." Liu Taishou touched the back of his head and said.

"Whether it has nothing to do with this case is hard to say." I smiled, "I have one last question......"

"Hurry up and ask." Liu Taishou said impatiently.

"That's ...... question" I restrained my smile and looked at Xiao Yuanba solemnly. What's in the box? ”

"I ......" Xiao Yuanba grabbed his hair, showing a hesitant look. I don't know ......."
