Chapter 133 The Strange Case of the Barracks
The black is not slippery, the three flats and the four are not round, Su Qi stared at it for a long time before making a conclusion: what kind of flower and tree is it.
Thinking that the old woman was tending to the flowers and plants every day, her mind was not very clear, so she probably regarded this little seed as a valuable treasure.
Su Qi threw that kind of seed up and down with a smile, and wanted to throw it away, but after thinking about it, he stuffed it into his purse.
Out of the gate of Fanfu, Su Qi got into the carriage of the Beijing Mansion in a low-key manner.
"As far as you know, demons and monsters have the ability to disappear out of thin air?" For the art of Qi Huang, Mu Yunsong was not proficient in it, so he had to ask Su Qi for advice.
"There are also ......" Su Qi replied with her eyes closed, she was already extremely sleepy after a day and a night's tossing, and at this moment she was like talking in a dream, "If you cultivate to reach an extremely high level, you can practice the techniques of calling the wind and rain, soaring clouds and fog, and transferring stars, but those are extremely advanced spells, not something that ordinary monsters can control......"
Mu Yunsong immediately understood: "If he is a monster with advanced cultivation, he will not be easily trapped by the four secret guards, ......right?"
But where could the girl answer him, she had already tilted her head and fell asleep.
Mu Yunsong looked at her for a while, smiled and sighed, and reached out to hug the sleeping little man.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Huimu Zhai, and Mu Yunsong jumped down from the car and saw that someone was waiting for him.
"Lord Wang!" Xu Kai just shouted when he went out, and he was slapped by his prince, and he was so frightened that he immediately silenced, and watched the prince holding the sleeping beauty in his arms, walking steadily, more carefully than a nanny holding a child.
Xu Kai sighed silently: The heroic and courageous prince of his family has fallen to such a point.
Mu Yunsong placed Su Qi on the bed and covered the quilt, exited and closed the door before asking Xu Kai, "What's the matter?" ”
Xu Kai couldn't care about the beads of sweat on his face: "Lord Wang, something happened to Yanbei Daying!" ”
In the open space of the Yanbei North Camp School Field, two corpses were placed side by side, attracting a number of sergeants to come and watch.
Even these men who have been on the battlefield for a long time and are accustomed to seeing life and death, looking at these two corpses with strange deaths and blurred flesh and blood, they can't help but churn in their stomachs.
"When and where did you find it?" Mu Yunsong stared at the unbelievable wound of the corpse and asked in a deep voice.
"At dawn this morning, outside the Flying Tiger Camp, as for the specific situation...... Xu Kai felt that he was not clever in his words, so he simply pulled a white thin soldier, "It's this little brother who first discovered them, you tell the prince yourself!" ”
The little soldier was obviously fortunate enough to talk to the prince for the first time, and he was both surprised and frightened, but his thinking was quick: "Lord Wang, my subordinate is a firehead of the Flying Tiger Battalion, just after midnight this morning, I got up to chop wood and burn the fire as usual. Since the firewood was kept in the munitions depot not far from the camp, I went out of the camp. When I walked through the poplar forest at the gate of the camp, I suddenly felt water dripping on my face, I thought it was night rain, but when I touched it, it was a slimy hand, and there was a thick bloody smell......"
Mu Yunsong frowned: "Tell the point!" ”
The little soldier was playing with affection, and seeing that the prince didn't like it, he hurriedly returned to the book: "I glanced up, my mother, and saw two people hanging on the top of a big poplar tree!" It scared the hell out of me......"
Xu Kai on the side listened anxiously: "The two of them are hanging on a tree? How to hang the method? ”
"It's in a tree. As for how to hang it......" The little soldier thought for a moment, pointing to the shocking wound on the corpse's neck, "The neck is pierced on a thick poplar branch, just like the salted fish we usually pickle." ”
His description made the stomachs of the onlookers churn again, and they secretly resolved that they would never eat salted fish again.
Mu Yunsong's face did not change, he squatted down with his clothes on his clothes, and asked while examining the wounds on the neck of the two corpses: "Can the identities of the two be clarified?" Looking at the uniforms of these two people, it is obvious that they are both from the Yanbei camp, and they are at the rank of officer.
The young man's leader spoke timidly again, "I recognize this thin one, it is one of the hundred households of our Flying Tiger Battalion who rode three guards, named Tu Leopard. As for the other ......"
Xu Kai interrupted him impatiently: "It has been ascertained that it is a general banner in the Lei Jun Shenji Battalion, called Wu Kui." ”
Mu Yunsong's eyebrows were twisted into the word "Sichuan": one is a person from the Flying Tiger Battalion of the Wind Army, and the other is a person from the Shenji Battalion of the Lei Army, and the Feng Army and the Lei Army are stationed in the east and west of the Yanbei Camp respectively, which are four or five miles away. Moreover, he was highly disciplined in the Yanbei army, and after the curfew, except for the soldiers on duty in the patrol camp, other soldiers were not allowed to step out of their camp.
Why were these two people strangely killed and hung on the same tree?
Mu Yunsong was full of questions, and it happened that the servant of Guangning Mansion came after receiving a summons. Mu Yunsong got up and took a step back and looked at the autopsy.
He was an experienced man, first examined the fatal wounds on the necks of the two corpses, and then carefully examined their skulls and facial features, and then quickly untied the clothes on the two corpses.
When the clothes faded, everyone in the audience let out a low exclamation.
But when I saw that on the front and back of the corpse, there were bruised whip marks, horizontal and vertical, and the skin was open. There are bruises on his wrists, waist, and thighs, as if he had been tied and dragged along.
Xu Kai couldn't help but sigh, and the little firehead soldier beside him was shocked, and couldn't help asking, "General Xu is lamenting that they died miserably?" ”
Xu Kai glanced at him with disdain: "What kind of misery is this?" Lord has seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in a war, and it is much worse than this! Ye is emotional, these two people who seem to be strong men, they are unknowingly drawn into this virtue, and when they are salted fish hanging on the tree, they will go to the underworld and lose the face of our Yanbei Army! ”
At this time, the autopsy had been completed, and he reported to Mu Yunsong: "Lord Wang, according to the villain's preliminary judgment, these two should have been attacked first, and they struggled to fight the enemy, and they were whipped with their hands and feet, and after being beaten half to death, they were pierced through their throats and hung on the treetops to death. ”
Mu Yunsong frowned and asked, "When did you die?" ”
"It should be around the clock." He pointed to Wu Kui's body, "According to the corpse stiffness, this one died earlier, and the strangulation marks on his hands and feet are heavier, and there are multiple scratches on his abdomen and back. As he spoke, he deliberately pointed out the strangulation marks on Wu Kui's wrist to Mu Yunsong.
Irregular strangulation edges, covered with fine cuts of blood and stab wounds...... Mu Yunsong's heart moved: This scar is so familiar!
He remained silent and asked the servant, "In your opinion, what is the cause of such strangulation?" ”
He was also an experienced one, and after a moment of careful observation, he said: "It's not a belt strip of cloth, nor is it like a leather whip and rope or other weapons, but like a ...... Coarse hemp rope, or some kind of plant vine. ”
His words further confirmed Mu Yunsong's guess, so he left two guards with him to continue the inspection, and he himself took Xu Kai back to the government office.
"I just can't figure out who is so bored to drag two people who are far away and unrelated to each other to death and hang them on a tree?" Xu Kai felt that this was weird, and couldn't help babbling.
Mu Yunsong glanced at him a little impatiently: Just your angry eyes with chest muscles bigger than your head, there are many things you can't understand.
However, Xu Kai's words reminded him: The two people who died are indeed far apart, but if it is said that "the wind and horses and cattle are not related", ...... "You go to the military registration department and get me the books of Tu Leopard and Wu Kui." Seeing that Xu Kai was still stunned and thoughtful, he added leisurely, "Give you a stick of incense time, and wait for the staff a moment later." ”
Xu Kai immediately stopped thinking and turned around and ran, mourning to himself as he ran: The prince's office is four or five miles away from the military registration department, and it takes a stick of incense to go back and forth...... Lord, where did I offend your old man?
When Su Qi woke up, it was already afternoon, and he didn't remember how he was lying on the bed of Huimuzhai, and there was a little maid grape who was leaning on the side of the bed and napping on the side.
Seeing that she slept soundly, Su Qi couldn't bear to wake her up, so he simply continued to lie on the bed, staring at the bed curtain above his head.
The demon of the Fan family is really uncanny, and even the dignified Prince of Beijing personally failed to catch him...... Su Qi really regretted it: Didn't he say that he would just ward off evil spirits and not catch demons? How did you take over such a business in the first place? In the end, I couldn't make any money, and I smashed my own signboard.
Now it seems that the "love to cause trouble" in the mouth of a certain prince is really not unjust and slanderous.
Su Qi silently despised himself, turned his head and thought again, the people in Fan Mansion are really strange: the domineering lady miss, Mama Li who was insulted and chased after her, and the old lady of the florist who looked like a zombie and chattered......
Thinking of the old woman who looked like a ghost and a ghost, Su Qi remembered that she kept calling her "fourth sister".
She has been called "Little Seven" since she was a child, and among their senior brothers and sisters, there is another person who is the fourth, it is her honest fourth senior brother, who thinks that the old woman is dizzy and recognizes her as someone else.
Su Qi muttered "Fourth Sister" twice, but still felt strange, she should have never been called "Fourth Sister", but ......
Su Qi turned over, and there was a little regret in her heart: her childhood memory was missing, and she didn't remember anything about what happened before she was five or six years old.
She once questioned herself: even the fourth senior brother with the most obtuse qualifications vaguely remembered the past when she was three years old and was driven into the pond by a dog while playing. Bing Xue is as smart as her, even if she has no heart and lungs when she was a child, she should remember some fragments of the past, but ......
She once told the dead ghost Mr. Su about this trouble, and Mr. Su gave her a pertinent speculation: Xu was seriously ill when she was young, and the high fever did not go away for three days, which burned her brain stupidly.
You're stupid, your whole family is stupid! Su Qi was not angry on the spot and announced that he would mourn his childhood memories of "three days of high fever", so Mr. Su did not eat a serious meal for three consecutive days.
Thinking of the past with Mr. Su, Su Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud, waking up the grapes napping next to the bed.
"The girl is awake?" Grape hurriedly rubbed his eyes and stood up, "Hungry, aren't you?" I'll go fetch water, wash you, and prepare your meal. ”
"How did I get back?" Su Qi thought back hard, and his last memory was in the carriage, listening to the prince babbling thoughtfully.
At the mention of this stubble, Grape Qiao blushed, and threw a disgusted look at Su Qi: "Does the girl really not know or pretend not to know?" You were picked up all the way back by our prince! ”
Before, she and Sister Pomegranate were worried that their princess would fall out of favor when she left the palace, but she didn't expect it, but she didn't expect it, but it was Xiao Biesheng who was newly married, and the distance produced beauty.
recalled the affectionate eyes of the prince in his arms, the careful way he put the girl on the bed, and the Yin Yin advice who told them not to wake up the girl and wake her up to eat...... Grape felt like he was being thoroughly fed with a handful of iron man's tender dog food.
"Wait a minute, girl, dog food...... Ah no, the meal will be coming right away. ”
Seeing the little grapes rushing out shyly with peach blossoms on their faces, Su Qi blinked: This girl, the love has just opened?
He was gossiping and was about to wait for the grapes to come back and ask, when the clinker suddenly heard a "bang" sound from the courtyard, followed by the grapes' high-pitched voice: "Mom!" ”
Su Qi hurriedly dodged out of the house and saw Grape standing in the courtyard in shock, with a strange man covered in injuries and convulsions lying at his feet.
"This man...... Where did it come from? ”
Grape bit her lip and pointed to the eaves.
Su Qi glanced at the collapsed eaves of his house, and couldn't help but sigh:
In these years, it is popular to drop men from the sky?
