Chapter 5 Darts
Yamen.
"There were a total of 48 wounds on the deceased's body, all of which were sword wounds, and judging from the shape and size of the wounds, this was not a common sword, and the blade was extremely thin.
Although the deceased was covered with scars all over his body, there was only one fatal wound, in the throat, which was killed by a sword from the front, compared to this wound, the remaining 47 wounds were very neat, and should have been cut after death.
The deceased did not show signs of struggle before he died......"
While examining General Park's body, Bao Mu said the conclusion of the autopsy.
Gongsun Zhen, Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng, the Goryeo Mission, and others stood beside them, or panicked, or contemplative, or angry, or surprised...... Only Li Yang stood quietly at the back, neither looking at General Park's corpse nor making a sound, like an invisible person.
At this time, it is best to be invisible.
"Gongsun-sama, isn't there anything to say?" The Seventh Prince Li Xi said coldly.
"This, this, this ......" Gongsun Zhen trembled and couldn't speak.
Shang Shu asked loudly: "First the crown prince, now General Park, who is next?" Is this how you Song people entertain the mission? ”
"Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ......"
As a son of man, Gongsun Ce couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and said: "It's not easy for anyone to have such a thing happening, now is not the time to complain, we should work together to track down the murderer." ”
"This is what you said, that's good, Xiao Wang will give you five days, if you can't catch the murderer, just wait for the Goryeo Iron Cavalry to level your Luzhou City, hum!" After Li Xi finished speaking, he was going to take the Goryeo delegation and others away.
"Wait." Bao Zheng suddenly said loudly.
"What else is going on with you?" Li Xi asked.
"It's okay for us to catch the murderer, but let's always ask for clarification."
"What do you want to ask?"
Bao Zheng looked at the knife on Li Xi's waist, "The Seventh Prince makes the knife?" ”
"What do you mean by that? Suspicious of Ben Xiao Wang? Li Xi was furious.
Bao Zheng bowed and said, "It's just a question, since the Seven Princes don't dare, then I won't ask." ”
"Who says I wouldn't dare?"
Li Xi shouted, glared at Bao Zheng, stepped forward, and pulled out the knife on his waist, "Look at it, this treasure knife was rewarded by Xiao Wang when he was seven years old, the first time he hunted and killed a wild boar, and his father rewarded him, he has carried it since he was a child, and it has been fourteen years, Bao Zheng, you can compare it with the wound on General Park's body." ”
"No need." Bao Zheng said generously.
General Park died of a sword wound, but the Seven Princes were swords, so naturally there was no need to compare.
Bao Zheng looked at Shangshu Cui Guanghao again.
"I never bring a weapon, I don't have a weapon to show you." Cui Shangshu said unhappily.
"Will the mourners also be questioned?" The lord of Goryeo, who had been sitting silently, said calmly.
"The county lord is serious, Xiaosheng doesn't dare." Bao Zhengchong made a gesture to the county lord.
"Hmph, I've asked, I've seen it, we can go, right?" The Seventh Prince said with a dark face.
"Of course."
The Seventh Prince brushed his sleeves away.
Cui Shangshu's face was ugly, and he walked away with the county lord.
The hall suddenly fell silent, and only Gongsun Zhen's murmur was unusually clear.
"The crown prince of Goryeo is dead, the general of Goryeo is dead again, and my black gauze hat is finished......"
Others tacitly pretended not to see it.
Gongsun really couldn't take care of others, so he was so anxious that he turned around in place, and finally turned to Li Yang, "Is the murderer you?" ”
"It's not." Li Yang said lightly.
"Before General Park died, only you were with him, you weren't, who was?" Gongsun really couldn't catch the murderer, so he was anxious, and he didn't let go when he caught Li Yang.
"He was indeed with me, but he was intact when he left, and Xiao Ai can testify." Li Yang said.
"I can testify." Xiao Ai immediately said loudly.
Gongsun Zhen still looked at Li Yang, "What's the use of her testifying, who can't see that you two are breathing out of your nostrils?" ”
"At that time, there were two officials you sent to find General Park, but they were your people, so they can always testify to me, right? At that time, me, Xiao Ai, and the two servants under your command were together, how could I have time to kill? ”
"Dad, people have a full alibi, he didn't kill people, do you always catch people and don't let them go." Everyone watched, seeing that his father was so confused, Gongsun Ce's face was hot for a while.
Gongsun Zhen said angrily: "There is evidence, none of them are murderers, I am, okay." ”
"It's not all evidence, it's all evidence." Bao Zheng said suddenly.
"How?" Gongsun Zhen seemed to see a clue.
Bao Zheng looked at Li Yang, "Look at Brother Li's calm and calm appearance, I must have understood." ”
Li Yang couldn't dodge, so he said directly: "Indeed, everyone is suspicious, every one of us, including the Goryeo mission just now. ”
"The Goryeo mission is also suspicious? Didn't they all come up with evidence just now? Gongsun Zhen wondered.
"They're proof too?" Li Yang sneered.
"Why doesn't it count? Let's just say that the Seventh Prince, General Park died of a sword wound, the Seventh Prince used a knife, and that treasure knife followed him for fourteen years, could the Seventh Prince still be stupid enough to use this kind of thing to cheat? Gongsun Zhen wondered.
"The knife is indeed true, but if you want to kill someone, will you be stupid enough to use your own portable sword?" Li Yang asked rhetorically.
Gongsun was really stunned.
Gongsun Ce, who was standing next to him, smiled confidently: "Of course not, not only not, but I will also find another murder weapon, such as a sword." ”
"General Park just died from a sword wound." Bao Zheng concluded.
"So, the Seventh Prince is suspicious?" Gongsun Zhen couldn't help asking.
The anxious look, as if Li Yang, Bao Zheng, and Gongsun Ce no matter who they were, as long as anyone said a word, he would immediately arrest someone.
"Not to mention the Seven Princes." Li Yang shook his head and said.
"Cui Shangshu is more suspicious, I have heard of this person, it is said that he is the first all-round talent in Goryeo's civil and military affairs, and he is the best at using swords, especially the family heirloom willow leaf swordsmanship, and he is unique in Goryeo." Gongsun Ce said.
"But the strange thing is that such a sword master actually said that he never brought a weapon, and it was just a formal occasion, so he didn't bring it on weekdays?" Bao Zheng questioned.
Gongsun Zhen thought about it for a while, "But this Cui Shangshu really doesn't bring weapons on weekdays." ”
"This is even more strange, how does a master with a sword, who doesn't even touch a weapon, become a master? Is it in a dream? Gongsun Ce said.
Shen Liang, the knife head next to him, finally interjected, and agreed: "That's right, the most important thing in martial arts is perseverance, the so-called three days without practicing hands, how can a person like Cui Shangshu who does not carry weapons all day long become a master of using swords." ”
"So, he has weapons, but he's just hiding them." This time it was Li Yang who came to a conclusion.
"Why did he hide his weapon?" Bao Zheng asked, and it could be heard that he was the most suspicious of Cui Shangshu.
Then he said: "Even the lord of Goryeo is suspicious. ”
Everyone looked at Bao Zheng in unison.
Bao Zheng said: "Think about it, since General Park is a general in Goryeo, he must have extraordinary martial arts, even if the murderer's martial arts are high, there is no reason why he doesn't even have the ability to struggle?" No matter how bad it is, it's always okay to make a shout, at that time, Brother Li and a few people were in that street, even if General Park made a little loud noise, they would go to save him, but he died silently, and whether he cut his throat with a sword, or from the front, which means that before he died, he had a face-to-face confrontation with the murderer. ”
"What you mean is that if the murderer is the lord of Goryeo, she can easily walk in front of General Park, and General Park will naturally bow down to ask for peace, and the lord of Goryeo can cut his throat with a sword when he is not paying attention." Gongsun Ce frowned.
Li Yang shook his head and denied, "This is easier said than done, especially to test a person's psychology, even a man is difficult to do, the lord of Goryeo is a delicate girl, pampered, how can he have such a psychological quality?" ”
Gongsun Zhen was sandwiched between Li Yang, Baobao, and Gongsun Ce, listening to this and that, and then listening to that, I felt that my head was bigger.
I was stunned for a long time.
Only then did he shout: "You have been talking for a long time, and I don't know who the murderer is?" ”
"If we knew the murderer, we would have arrested it a long time ago, who is still talking nonsense here, isn't this analyzing the case." Gongsun Ce said helplessly.
Gongsun Zhen said angrily: "Then what results have you analyzed?" ”
"There is no evidence for anyone." Bao Zheng said it again.
"In other words, everyone is suspicious." Li Yang smiled at Bao Zheng.
"The Goryeo mission is the most suspicious." Gongsun Ce said calmly.
Li Yang, Bao Zheng, and Gongsun Ce, the three of them glanced at each other, and a trace of appreciation flashed in their eyes.
You guys had a good time.
Gongsun Zhen said helplessly: "According to what you said, except for Li Yang, all of them are suspicious?" ”
Bao Zheng didn't speak.
Gongsun Ce didn't speak.
The two looked at Li Yang silently.
Li Yang opened his mouth and said, "I am also suspicious. ”
Gongsun Zhen looked at Li Yang in surprise, "Don't you have an alibi?" ”
Li Yang said: "I can buy murder, what if I have an accomplice?" ”
"Aha, sure enough, it's you." Gongsun Zhen grabbed Li Yang, as if he had caught the murderer.
Gongsun Ce went up to pull his father away and said in a low voice: "If he is a murderer, will he take the initiative to admit it?" Is he crazy? ”
"Brother Li, what is General Park looking for you tonight?" Bao Zheng asked suddenly.
Everyone was stunned.
Just now, Li Yang, Bao Zheng, and Gongsun Ce analyzed the case, and everyone had subconsciously regarded him as their own, and even subconsciously took these three people as the leader, ignoring that Li Yang was the last person the deceased had ever come into contact with before his death.
Xiao Ai grabbed Li Yang's hand from behind and motioned for him not to speak.
If it were known that General Park had clashed with him before his death, what would others think?
I'm afraid that even an alibi will be difficult for Li Yang to get out of this trouble.
Li Yang smiled at Xiao Ai, but still said.
And there is not a little hidden.
"How can this be reasonable, the prince and general of a dignified country actually robbed the people's daughter!"
"Beasts are not as good as beasts."
…… Everyone was scolding the Goryeo prince and the Goryeo general, but when they looked at Li Yang again, they were more or less different.
I just got out of a conflict with you, and I died before I could get out of the street...... People inevitably don't think much about it.
If it weren't for an alibi, it would be reasonable for Li Yang to be the murderer.
Bao Zheng believed Li Yang even more, and said, "I still have to go to see the prince's corpse, do you want to come along?" ”
"Okay." Li Yang said with a smile, that frank appearance made the people who had doubted Li Yang just now feel a little ashamed in their hearts.
As if he hadn't seen it, Li Yang followed Bao Zheng to the place where he worked, saw the prince's corpse, and then went to the scene of the murder to come to the Yi Pavilion.
In the end, Bao Zheng also showed Li Yang the assassin's secret weapon that assassinated the prince, and asked, "What does Brother Li think?" ”
"I don't think so." Li Yang then returned the hidden weapon to Bao Zheng.
"Well, I thought you could see some clues." Bao Zheng took the hidden weapon and sighed in disappointment.
"Why do you think I can see the clues?" Li Yang asked.
Bao Zheng scratched his head, "I can't say either, I always feel as if you can know something, or rather, I can know something from you." ”
Li Yang was silent for a moment, and patted Bao Zheng on the shoulder, "Fortunately, you are a person who talks about evidence and looks at facts, otherwise, I would be dead just based on this feeling." ”
"Brother Li has won the prize." Bao Zheng smiled innocently.
"You continue to investigate the case, I'm tired, go back first." Li Yang said goodbye.
Looking at Li Yang's back, Bao Zheng suddenly shouted: "That"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Li Yang waved his hand without replying, "Don't worry, as an important person involved in this case, I promise to be on call." ”
It was early in the morning when Xiao Ai was sent home, and then back to the inn.
Li Yang did not feel the slightest sleepiness.
Sitting at the table, lighting a candle, in the candlelight, Li Yang looked at a prismatic dart.
There is a bag of darts, which was brought with the body when he woke up in the wild, and belonged to the original owner of this body.
It's nothing.
It is normal for people who walk the rivers and lakes to have a unique weapon of their own.
Li Yang thought so before.
Now, after following Bao Zheng to see the hidden weapons used by the assassin who assassinated the prince of Goryeo, Li Yang suddenly discovered that those hidden weapons were the same as the darts in his hand
…… Same!
