"Captain Bao ......" He Zhi County Magistrate sighed: "Yesterday, County Lieutenant Bao claimed that he was going to arrest the robbers and left in a hurry, but how did he know that he ......?"

"I see......" Chu He nodded slightly.

In fact, this statement can no longer be verified. But right now, the three of them have to investigate the case together.

Song Nian went up to inspect the corpse.

The body was still warm, and the cause of death was two penetrating wounds to the chest.

Two sharp crossbow arrows pierced the back of Lieutenant Bao, shot out from the chest, and carved a deep groove on the blue brick wall, making him angry on the spot.

Song Nian checked the leg of the county lieutenant Bao, and there were no injuries, it was not the person who was injured by Xue Hu yesterday.

With his previous experience, Song Nian turned around and looked at the wall behind Lieutenant Bao.

Sure enough, there were two deep holes in the wall, and there were obvious traces of grease lubrication on the edges of the holes.

"It's really sinister." He Zhixian sighed: "Let the county lieutenant Bao first listen to the sound, hide the bow and crossbow, and trap the shopkeeper." and then in the position of voice, booby-trap Bao County Lieutenant...... In this way, the clues are completely broken. ”

Song Nian didn't answer, but carefully checked the broad-eared copper tube.

Chu He coughed twice: "Sure enough, it was a brass pipe." Main ...... This seat had guessed wrong. ”

Song Nian shook his head: "Lord Chu, if you use this brass pipe to transmit sound...... Then we are above, and we will hear the screams of the county lieutenant Bao before his death. This copper pipe...... Another use, I suppose, was to send orders to the county lieutenant of Bao...... But like the shopkeeper, he was assassinated here. ”

"But since the murderer killed two people in a row, wouldn't he have fled long ago? Didn't leave any clues? He Zhixian frowned.

Song Nian smiled: "How could there be no clues?" His act of destroying the clue will itself leave a clue. ”

Hearing this, Chu He nodded slightly: "Not bad...... For example, this strong bow and crossbow is not placed here and can be fired at any time to hurt people, but needs to be maintained every day. The bow and crossbow in the army, if there is no war, also need to untie the bowstring and store it. ”

How can there be such a thing? Khan, I've watched too many movies and television dramas, and I always think that kind of mechanism is still shooting arrows everywhere hundreds of years later......

"Since these institutions need to be maintained regularly...... Then, there must be people who can easily enter and exit this place under various names, and these institutions are very convenient. Song Nian reasoned with some excitement: "So, who can maintain it very conveniently?" Naturally, those guys, the real murderers behind the scenes, may be lurking in those seemingly inconspicuous guys. ”

When He Zhixian heard this, he immediately said, "Without further ado, we will go and interrogate those guys now." ”

Song Nian smiled and said, "Lord He, don't worry, don't worry." ”

She reached out and knocked on the copper pipe: "This copper pipe doesn't know where it leads, maybe our conversation has already been heard by the other party." But...... The one on the other side of the copper pipe, who walks by, will leave traces, can you know? ”

"Heh......" In the brass pipe, there seems to be a faint talk and ridicule. When Song Nian listened to it again, it seemed to be her hallucination.

Anyway, anyway, let's find the other end of this copper pipe first.

Although the copper pipe was buried deep in the iron wall, Song Nian mobilized the black armor sergeants and wasted a lot of effort to dig the wall......

Amazing discovery...... The other end of this copper pipe is in this underground secret room, and there is only a wall between Chu He Song Nian and others.

The secret room in this secret room, it seems that even the county lieutenant Bao doesn't know.

Because inside this secret room, there are seven or eight copper pipes, leading to different positions, which are obviously for different people to order.

Above the wall, a well-maintained crossbow can be seen, aimed at the hidden firing port in the wall.

Obviously, this is the murder weapon that murdered the county lieutenant Bao.

Let the other party listen to orders under the crossbow bolt every day, I really don't know how cunning the person in charge behind it is.

As for why Lieutenant Bao was hiding in the secret room, Song Nian had a faint guess in his heart, but there was still a lack of key evidence.

As for the person in charge, he escaped through the tunnel early and left very calmly.

Compared to the secret room, the tunnel is very rough, leading directly to a dry well.

Above the dry well was a compound overgrown with withered grass, whose owner had long since disappeared and had been abandoned for many years.

The only gain, that is, in this dry well, there is a strong smell of wine and a hidden smell of corpses, that is to say, the snow corpse was hidden here at that time.

Is it all broken here?

Song Nian walked back and forth in the compound overgrown with withered grass, and suddenly asked, "Chu He, do you think there is any inevitable connection behind this series of events?" ”

According to the habit of looking at Conan in his previous life, there must be a unique connection behind these scattered events.

Find this inevitable connection, and the case will be solved.

Chu He said lightly: "Didn't you find it?" All the evidence found now points to ...... The Wang family. ”

Song Nian was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu He.

Chu He smiled and said to He Zhixian next to him: "He Zhixian, you must know what this seat is going to say." “

When He Zhixian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Could it be that Lord Chu means that he is planting blame?" ”

Chu He said lightly: "No, it's a disaster that leads to the east." ”

"The Wang family...... It's not so clean, but it's not supposed to be what they did. ”

"Lord Chu, why don't you doubt the Wang family?" He Zhixian wondered.

Chu He smiled: "You have all forgotten ......"

Song Nian looked at Chu He suspiciously.

"Xue Hu, it's the Wang family's pawn in the border area." Chu He smiled meaningfully.

Song Nian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Xue Hu trusted the Wang family firm so much that even the accounts around him, the people in charge of most of his personal affairs, were all from the Wang family.

It stands to reason that no matter how much you trust a trading house, you will never let the other party plant such a vital person around you.

That can only explain one fact - Xue Hu is a pawn of the Wang family.

The account room was sent by the Wang family to supervise Xue Hu nearby!

Putting aside all the surfaces, the remaining kernel made Song Nian shocked.

"Chu He, what about this Wang Clan's silver number?" But all the things that Wang's Silver Trumpet has done are falling into the lower stone.

"The Wang family is not monolithic, this Wang family's silver number, do you think it listens to the Wang family?" Chu He said lightly: "If you really listen to the Wang family, why bother with the sound of the gods, why play these ghost tricks." ”

Song Nian nodded slightly, sure enough, this Wang family's business name seems to have been completely infiltrated by the opponent of the Wang family, and at this time, it suddenly turned against the water, causing disaster to the Wang family.

In this way, many things can be reasonably explained.

Even the county lieutenant of Nabao...... It is highly likely that it will also be involved in this matter.

Song Nianke still remembered that the people of the Wang family walked out of the encirclement of the government and the black armor army in an open and honest manner.

Behind this, there must be someone from the county government secretly releasing water.

"Thanks for the pointers."

The doubts in his heart were solved, and Song Nian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Chu He suddenly said: "Master Song, you have forgotten a very important matter. ”

Song Nian said awe-inspiringly: "Please also ask Lord Chu for advice." ”

Chu He said lightly: "Master Song, remember, you can't call this official by his name. ”

Song Nianyi was embarrassed, I just called his name?
