The water flow on this section of the river near Luoyang Wharf is not turbulent, but although the sound of the water is not loud, the sound of the river wind hunting and blowing the flags of merchant ships is still loud enough.

The sudden sound was not too loud, and it could even be easily muffled by Jiang Feng's voice, but he didn't know why, he still heard it.

The voice was not familiar, but he often dreamed of it in his dreams these days.

It was Zhen Shiyuan's voice.

Without him, it's just a weak heart, afraid that his whereabouts will be suddenly exposed. Originally, I thought that if I left Luoyang and went south to Jinling and then south, the fewer people who knew him, the easier it would be to hide, but I didn't expect that I would expose my tracks so quickly.

After a pause, he slowly turned around and looked at the group of officials standing not far away, as well as the boat boss next to the officials.

Touching the beard and disguise on his face, he said, "How do you know? ”

The captain of the boat thought that he was asking, and hurriedly said: "I didn't recognize it, there are more women and children in your group, and there is nothing special." "Luoyang to Jinling River is gentle, and rarely anything happens, even women and children can sit on this boat.

"It's the number of people, and the lord wants us to pay attention to the movement of the dock, and pay attention to the caravan or other passers-by of exactly thirty-two people." To be precise, it was thirty-one people and an old man, and then less than half an hour, the government changed its words, saying that it might be disguised, so it only looked at the number of people, and if it happened to be thirty-two people traveling, they would detain people.

So, as soon as they boarded the ship, the captain of the ship asked the government to be informed.

"Although there are people who are afraid of 'the most dangerous place is also the safest place', but you Liu Jize are not proficient in the art of disguise, and if it is easy to hide for one or two, it is okay for a family of thirty-two people, this kind of statement is still forgotten. So you will definitely not go to Chang'an, which has a lot of acquaintances, as for the border gates, the Huns are still there, and what you want to do is definitely the word 'An', so you will not go to this kind of place that may be affected by the war at any time. In this case, only the land of Qilu in the east and the land of water towns in the south are left, and no matter which of these two roads you take, you will have to pass through Luoyang Wharf. Zhen Shiyuan squinted at him and smiled, "Everything about Lord Liu has already been in our hands. ”

"I see," Liu Jize tore off the beard on his face, threw the hat on his head aside, and suddenly sighed heavily, "I still think that my plan is very clever, it turns out that Master Zhen has already seen through it, and I lost." It's just that I don't understand one thing, how do you know I'm still alive? ”

"Well," said someone who came out of the crowd of officials, holding a pile of autopsy papers, "because it's different." ”

It was a girl who spoke, and she felt a little out of place standing in a group of officials, and she also felt like this.

Liu Jize obviously recognized her: "It's you." ”

That Miss Qiao in Jinling City has known her name for not a day or two, but it is the first time that she has faced her head-on.

The girl nodded and said calmly, "Lord Liu."

"There is no problem with your autopsy paperwork, Feng Cheng examined the charred corpse, it is indeed not wrong to fall to death, and the size and age of the body are also consistent with Lord Liu."

"And how do you know it's not me?" Liu Jize said.

"Because it was so perfect. The bones of the whole body were broken in many places, and the fatal wound was even in the head, and even Feng Qizuo said that this was a perfect corpse that fell to death. Qiao Ran said, "Coincidentally, before Lord Liu didn't use the golden cicada to get out of his shell, we saw Lord Liu's appearance with our own eyes, except for a head injury, there were no other external injuries all over the body. It was a fall, the back of the head hit the ground, and the blow was fatal. ”

Could it be that if you set it on fire, you can burn out a bunch of traces of broken bones?

"Arson would seem to most people to be a loss of corpses, but there is another possibility."

"The golden cicada came out of its shell and faked its death to escape." Lord Zhao couldn't help but mutter.

Qiao Ran nodded: "So I boldly guessed that Lord Zhao saw you fall to death in front of the door, but in fact, you didn't die at that time, and it wasn't until a fire burned down the ice cellar that the burned corpse was replaced with Lord Liu." And after having such a guess about Lord Liu, then the family of Lord Liu, who was also burned beyond recognition, may not have this possibility. ”

"If you just fake your death, someone needs to make a certificate of fake death for you, for example, at that time, Qin Chengzuo, he said that you are dead, as long as the pulse is weak, it is very likely that you will not be able to figure out the truth of life and death."

"It stands to reason that even if there is no reliable trick, you may be able to distinguish it if you find a doctor, but when Lord Liu suddenly came out in the middle of the night, the official saw that the back of your head was full of blood, and he was motionless, and he moved you to the ice cellar under the inducement of Qin Chengzuo, and I waited for the subsequent arrival, and I decided that Lord Liu was dead early in the morning, and Lord Liu behaved so 'vividly', yes, I and a group of laymen who didn't understand medicine were easily deceived."

"It's just that this deception didn't take long to deceive, and when Feng Qizuo came, Lord Liu was a living person or a corpse, I believe he could distinguish it. Therefore, Lord Liu can't wait, he must destroy the corpse as soon as possible and replace it with you. ”

"Whether it's explosives or fire, it's all in Lord Liu's plan, Lord Liu fakes his death to get out, and the rest is to let his family fake his death and get out, and by the way, remove Qin Cheng who knows the inside story and performs the autopsy for you, then no one in this world will know that Lord Liu is still alive."

"I'll only think that Lord Liu is dead, even if we investigate, we will only find out who killed Lord Liu, and if we continue to investigate in this direction, I'm afraid that we won't be able to find out the reason for the investigation in my life, so if we continue like this, we will either use thunder fire to kill the felony Qin Cheng and close the case, or it will become an unsolved case, but these are not what Lord Liu cares about, because at that time, Lord Liu had already changed his name and surname and started over."

"But now the matter is too urgent, you must be ahead of us in everything, otherwise if you are not careful, you will fall short if you are hit by us, so in a panic, you mistakenly arranged Qin Cheng as the corpse to be killed by a sword, this is a mistake."

Liu Jize said: "I quickly discovered this mistake, but it doesn't hurt, because the person who did these things can be pushed to a person who doesn't have to." ”

No one would have thought that it was a "dead man" who killed someone.

"Yes, Lord Liu is indeed superb." Qiao Ran said, "For example, if Lord Liu is a good court official, now that Su Cheng is dead, Lord Liu's qualifications are about to come out, if he makes contributions to the corruption case, he will be able to be promoted logically and shade the younger generations." ”

"This is what makes this official puzzled." Lord Zhao didn't have Zhen Shiyuan's calm anger, he couldn't hold back anymore now, and interjected, "It stands to reason that this is an opportunity, why did he give up everything he got at this time and fake his death to get out?" Is it because you can't find out for fear of offending people or something? ”

"It's not that you can't find it for fear of offending people, but it's not easy to check." The girl's expression was calm, but her words were amazing, "Because Lord Liu himself is one of the masterminds behind the corruption case." ”
