Chapter Twenty-Five: Murder in a Dream
Zhang Heiniu found the "murder weapon" on the eaves of the next floor of the house.
A rusty ...... Stained with blood and snow-white goo, the burning stick.
There was also a clear bloody handprint on the burning stick.
"Ma Wu, open your hands." Song Nian said.
Ma Wu opened his hand in distraction, Song Nian put the burning stick on it, and the bloody handprint was completely consistent with Ma Wu's hand.
Xue Hu's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Song Nian held the burning stick with a white cloth: "Such a burning stick, or if we use the name in the military camp - Burning Musket, can we kill General Xue Long, who has outstanding martial skills?" ”
"Enough!" Xue Hu stood up, carried his knife, and pointed at Song Nian: "Master Song, you ...... Why, again and again, defend this murderer! ”
Song Nian showed no weakness: "General Xue Hu, I'm not defending him, I'm just ...... To find the real cause of General Xue Long's death! Who the hell is it that killed General Xue Long! ”
"Okay, you're looking! You seek! Xue Hu stabbed heavily into the ground.
Song Nian held the burning spear.
The flam is as thick as the little finger and three feet long, with one end bent into a ring for easy holding, and the other end is a sharp corner for insertion into the red-hot firewood charcoal.
Now, the sharp corners that should have been black and even most of the burning sticks are full of red and white things. At the very front, however, it is full of finely crushed rammed earth powder. These bizarre objects are entangled together to form a strange picture.
"Ma Wu, why did you use this burning stick to destroy General Long's wounds after his death, as well as this mark on the wall?" Song Nian asked seriously.
"I ...... I ......" Ma Wu's body trembled.
He Lu hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted Ma Wu's body: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, you think about it slowly......"
But Ma Wu trembled, but said nothing.
"Ma Wu, have you forgotten, or don't dare to say it, or ...... Don't want to say? Song Nian's voice was like a devil, making Ma Wu tremble even more.
Song Nian sighed lightly, it seems that she still has to do this wicked person.
Who let her, she has to complete the task of the system.
Song Nian held the burning gun in his hand and said slowly: "Ma Wu refuses to say, then I ...... Just help him. ”
"The person who killed General Long was someone that General Long was quite familiar with. Even General Long never thought that he would kill his own people. That's why before General Long died, he was so shocked and unbelievable. This is something that everyone has seen. ”
Xue Hu was silent, watching Song Nian perform.
"After the death of General Long, Ma Wu ...... With this burning spear, he stabbed into the wound of General Long's skull, destroying the traces of the wound...... He did this because the wound was so distinctive that it was easy to guess who was the killer. ”
"In order to do it more thoroughly, he even used this burning rifle to destroy even the traces on the rammed earth wall behind him."
"Who is in this Shanyang Village...... Worthy of his protection? ”
"Hmph, when you say that, don't you mean that you will be the murderer?" Xue Hu said indifferently.
"General Xue, General Xue, don't be impatient, Master Song is still deducing the murderer, not you, how could you kill your cousin." He Lu hurriedly stepped forward to appease Xue Hu.
"Go away! I don't need you to be a peacemaker here. Xue Hu pushed He Lu away, pulled out the steel knife and pointed it at Song Nian.
"Misceiving the crowd! Unexpectedly, he confuses the army's heart in my Shanyang Village! ”
Song Nian is usually afraid of things, but at this time, for some reason, a breath hovered in his chest: "General Xue, dare to ask!" How long have you not slept well! ”
"This general is a strong soldier, in the past few years, how have you ever slept peacefully!" Xue Hu shouted angrily: "What do you mean by asking this!" ”
Song Nian continued to ask: "Then dare to ask General Xue Hu, how many opioids have you used every day recently!" ”
Opium, that is, opium and tablets, used to be a medicine, but now in the Great Yong Dynasty, it is a forbidden substance.
"You, where did you know ......" Xue Hu's momentum suddenly weakened by three points.
The thing Song Nian found in his house was exactly ...... Opium.
"Dare to ask again, General Xue Hu, are you anxious day and night, are you anxious day and night, hanging alone in the north of the river, with tens of thousands of people, resisting hundreds of thousands or even millions of Hu people!"
"You...... Why do you know this? In Xue Hu's heart, there was a faint and ominous premonition that this woman seemed to be about to say something that made him extremely afraid.
Song Nian looked at Xue Hu, and suddenly felt a little unbearable.
Because the answer to this question is too hurtful and incredible.
"Dare to ask General Xue Hu, an hour ago, did you just take opioids and take a nap in your own room."
"You ......" Xue Hu was a little flustered.
"Dare to ask General Xue Hu, do you often dream in your dreams that countless Hu people are attacking the city, and you are alone, you can only desperately swing your knife and kill everyone who comes close to you!"
"Don't ...... Don't say it! Xue Hu suddenly became furious: "It's not like this! That's not true! You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense! ”
Song Nian let out a long sigh.
"Lord Xue, General Tiger, in your house, in addition to opium, there are countless marks of slashing and stabbing swords. I haven't seen that sword of yours, but I think, it should, at least be that long......"
Song Nian walked to Xue Long's corpse and gestured a length on Xue Long's head.
A foot could pierce Xue Long's head, and it could also pierce a length deep into a rammed earth wall.
In everyone's minds, a picture flashed inexplicably.
With a flash of cold light, a sharp and invisible sword light flashed, and a thin sword appeared in the center of Xue Long's eyebrows, nailing his head firmly to the rammed earth wall.
Xue Long looked at the master of the sword in horror and disbelief.
He never warned that his cousin, who was building Shanyang Village brick by brick with him, would suddenly kill him.
His life was frozen in this moment......
"You talk nonsense...... You are talking nonsense...... Xue Long, Xue Long, I will never ......" The strength on Xue Hu's body seemed to be gradually drained.
Song Nian's heart was also inexplicably uncomfortable.
She suddenly turned around and bowed to Chu He: "Lord Chu, dare to ask...... What is the crime of killing someone in a dream? ”
"Lord Chu!" Xue Hu's personal soldiers around him, and even Na Ma Wu, all knelt down in unison: "Please...... For my family, General Xue, be gracious! ”
Chu He silently glanced at everyone, his mood was extremely low: "Xue Hu...... Like to swing weapons in dreams, isn't it a fact? ”
"Back to your lordship...... My general does suffer from this problem occasionally, but he has always locked himself in the house and will never hurt others. A pro-soldier knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Lord Chu, my family, he ...... He is overly anxious, and also, in order to protect his family and defend the country! ”
Chu He stood up and let out a long sigh: "Yes, when he goes crazy, he will lock himself up, but ...... But, on the contrary, his and Xue Long's house is connected by an authentic ......"
"What is the crime of killing someone in a dream......
