Chapter Ninety-Seven: Speculation

In the city of Qingzhou, a quiet courtyard.

In the backyard, an open space.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

There was a sharp black shadow, holding a long sword glowing with black light in his hand, following his rhythmic footsteps, a little cold light suddenly appeared above and below him.

The sword flower kept pulling it out casually.

Dao terrifying sword qi seemed to tear the void.

"Huh."

The sword flashed, and the tip of the sword was revealed.

A very dazzling light suddenly burst out, running directly towards a marble stone bench a zhang away.

"Bang."

There was an explosion, and the stone bench instantly became torn apart.

"Congratulations to Childe, swordsmanship has reached a higher level."

Xiao Luo hurriedly came, his face was very excited, and he congratulated him. One zhang away, with just one sword qi, he could easily take the life of others. Such a terrifying swordsmanship move is rare in the world. Thinking back to the shocking scene just now, he couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, this ferocious killing move, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to resist.

"When did you learn to shoot horses like that?"

Su Li smiled slightly, put away the sword in his hand, and walked towards him.

"Hey, hey."

"Childe, wipe your sweat."

Xiao Luo sneered and handed him the sweat towel in his hand. Su Li took it casually and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He was very happy that his swordsmanship had finally achieved something.

Before, the sword moved at will, and it was really hearty.

"Childe, Zhang Sanma is here."

"I'm waiting for Childe in the front hall."

Xiao Luo took Su Li's used sweat towel and whispered to him.

"Hmm."

Su Li nodded lightly and did not delay.

He turned around and walked briskly towards the antechamber.

Zhang Sanma will not come here rashly.

Something will happen if you look for him.

*

"I've seen the general under the mark."

Seeing Su Li coming, Zhang Sanma, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly stood up and respectfully saluted him.

"No courtesy."

"Sit down."

Su Li walked straight to the top position, and while sitting down, he opened his mouth and said to him.

"What's the matter here?"

Su Li went straight to the point and asked him out of words.

"General Qiyu."

"Qingzhou Mansion, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple have found a very key clue in the assassination of the prince. Not far from the place where the crime occurred, a house was found, which was the temporary place for the murderer. ”

"A few yamen followed the vine and knew the original owner of this house. His name is Li Wen, and he is the owner of a rice shop in Dongcheng. A family of three, plus a maid and a servant, a total of five died unexpectedly. ”

"Their bodies have now been found in a well not far from the house, and all the scar marks on their bodies are exactly the same as the knife used by the prince when he was assassinated."

"In addition, there are several people who have personally confirmed it."

"After the house changed owners, there were a few people with Beiyan accents."

Zhang Sanma stood up and bowed to him at 1510.

"But what's suspicious?"

"The murderer is obviously well-trained, why would he deliberately expose it before the assassination? And coincidentally, there are several neighbors who hear it from the side? ”

"Why did they make such a low-level mistake?"

"Also, if you want to kill the lives of five members of a businessman's family who are powerless, with their extraordinary skills, why do you have to use a knife?"

"Isn't it a little too deliberate?"

Su Li groaned for a few breaths and asked him bluntly.

"This ......"

"That's true."

"I can't figure it out under the mark."

Zhang Sanma's face was a little embarrassed, and he told him the truth. Let him secretly inquire about the news, and it will be done. But let him investigate and analyze the case, which is really a bit difficult for him.

"Huh."

Su Li shook his head lightly, not caring about this.

Each profession has its own specialization.

In his heart, he didn't expect a scout in the army to suddenly become a yamen pusher.

"How far is the well where the body was found?"

"Neighbors, where do you hear their accents?"

Su Li looked directly at him and asked him.

"Ugh."

When Zhang Sanma heard this, he stood still and thought carefully.

"General Qiyu."

"The well where the body was found is not very far from the house, but it is not very close either."

"It's estimated that it's about 20 zhang."

"The accent of their neighbors was heard at a breakfast stall near the house, and it was revealed when they were talking to each other during their meal."

At first, everyone didn't think about it, until someone saw them entering and leaving Li Wen's house, and then they felt a little strange. However, most people thought that they were distant relatives of Li Wen. Didn't pay much attention to them. ”

Zhang Sanma bowed to him in detail, but did not notice anything abnormal.

"I see."

When Su Li heard this, he suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.

He had already thought of the crux of the matter.

After the killer committed the murder, he dragged the body to a well twenty feet away from the house with time and effort, which was really a bit redundant. Dig a pit in the house and bury them. So why do they have to do that? It can be seen that they originally wanted these corpses to be found.

Killers, usually hidden in the dark.

To be exposed is to be declared dead.

In broad daylight, the killer actually appeared in the street market scene with a swagger, which is very unreasonable. What's more, you can still be heard by people with an accent and see your appearance clearly. No one dares to do this.

Unless, they're not killers in the first place.

It's just a disguise on the outside.

"So, who will they be?"

Su Li frowned, secretly guessing in his heart.

"Not a killer."

"Extraordinary, well-trained, and consistent."

"And most crucially, audacity."

"It should be obvious that he is not from the rivers and lakes."

"Well, then, it's ......"

Su Li's eyes lit up, as if he had suddenly thought of something. This speculation shocked him very much.

"Zhang Sanma."

Su Li turned around and yelled at him.

"Mark it in."

When Zhang Sanma heard this, he reflexively bowed down to receive the order.

"While you're investigating, are there other suspicious people hiding nearby?"

Su Li was a little expectant, and asked him.

Now, although all the evidence above the bright side points to Beiyan. But Su Li obviously didn't believe it, and his heart was more inclined to someone hiding in the dark to frame the blame, so as to want the snipe and the clam to compete and the fisherman to profit.

"Hmm."

"It seems that there are two waves of people."

"I didn't pay much attention to it before I put it down."

Zhang Sanma frowned, stretched out his hand and scratched his head. This is obviously something he has overlooked.

"That's it."

When Su Li heard this, the corners of his mouth curled. Not surprisingly, one of the nearby groups of people should be the secret guards in the Great Qi Palace.

And another wave?

Even if you are not a murderer, you will have a lingering and continuous connection with the murderer.

"Let's go."

"Let's go to that house and take a closer look."

Su Li stepped out first, and when Zhang Sanma saw this, he hurriedly followed him.

In Su Li's heart, there was already a guess.

The killer is about to be revealed.

So who could he be?
