Chapter 17: The Nabei Tribe

"Ahem, ahem... Ahem"

Mo Ziyu was choked on the tea and couldn't stop coughing.

Ling Lan snickered, this man was said to be thinking about it! So excited.

After a while, Mo Ziyu finally got better, he moved the teacup to the side, his elbows propped up on the table and stared at Ling Lan, his deep eyes a little more displeased.

Ling Lan spread her hands: "Okay, I won't say it, but it's nothing, everyone has a love for beauty, don't talk about you, I also like the green kite girl!" ”

Mo Ziyu frowned, and her displeasure turned into a warning.

Is this still a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet? What are the words? I really don't know what she has in her head?

Thinking about it, he just wanted to change the topic immediately, what pity for the jade, in fact, he didn't like the smell of the green kite very much.

"Five years ago, there was a lot of war on the northern border, she fled to the capital with refugees, and then went to Yihong Pavilion to make a living, what else do you want to know?"

"War? At that time, it was General Chen who led the troops to fight? Ling Lan dragged her chin with her hand, seemingly careless.

This question obviously made Mo Ziyu stunned, he seemed to sense something and couldn't get results for a while, and nodded slightly after a few breaths.

"That's right, it was General Chen's last battle, and he repelled the enemy army in triumph, but he was also wounded, and he returned home to recuperate."

"Oh! Do you know anything about that campaign? ”

"Of course."

After a pause, Mo Ziyu said: "The northern border is adjacent to the Nabei tribe, where there are thousands of mountains and cliffs, and the terrain is treacherous. In the past, it was okay, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and it did not disturb each other. Since the Nabei tribe changed its leader more than ten years ago, it has begun to be uneasy, the new leader has ambitions and brains, and is not willing to open up the territory because of the small territory, and in just two years, he has occupied several small tribes around him, and then paid attention to our borders. He also knew that he couldn't fight so he carried out a sneak attack, which made the county towns and villages near the northern border suffer, in the face of the soldiers of the Nabei tribe burned and plundered the people, the people were scared, and the people were not happy, before General Chen, the saint had sent troops twice, but after the soldiers arrived at the northern border, they would feel uncomfortable from time to time, bad stomach, dizziness and nausea, and those with severe physical weakness and fainting, the result can be imagined, hundreds of thousands of people can't beat tens of thousands of people of the Nabei tribe..."

Listening carefully, Ling Lan couldn't help but wonder: "In that case, how did General Chen defeat the Nabei clan?" ”

"It is said that General Chen is very intelligent, and when he heard his name after many years of fighting on the battlefield, the Nabei tribe was afraid, and the Nabei tribe surrendered within half a year, promising not to invade our territory again."

Ling Lan tilted her head: "It's over?" ”

"Hmm!"

"You haven't said what General Chen has done?" Ling Lan asked.

Seeing that the other party wanted to speak and stopped, she suddenly realized: "Oh! It turns out that you don't know either. ”

Mo Ziyu raised her hand and touched the tip of her nose: "Does this have anything to do with this case?" ”

Seeing that he was a little unnaturally embarrassed, Ling Lan laughed: "When we gather all the loose sand together, the murderer will also surface." One more thing, do you know anything about the people of the Nabei tribe? ”

Seeing that she was so curious, Mo Ziyu said helplessly: "Get up early tomorrow, I will take you to meet someone, about the border war and the Nabei clan five years ago, the other party is clear." Now, let's talk about General Chen's death. ”

Regarding the murder of General Chen, they have already concluded the exact cause of death and the process of death, and if they go to the top of Xishan Mountain, they can restore the case.

"According to your guess, General Chen made an appointment with someone else at that time and went to the top of the mountain alone, what he didn't know was that the murderer was squatting behind a big rock, and after he arrived, the murderer jumped up from the side and jumped on the rock, just grabbed General Chen's hair and hit him backwards, which is also the origin of the back of the head impact!" Mo Ziyu spoke very slowly, thinking as she spoke.

Ling Lan nodded silently.

After a pause, Mo Ziyu continued: "General Chen immediately counterattacked after being attacked, so the footprints on the ground were chaotic, and the two started to fight, and soon General Chen fell into the downwind, and was pressed by the murderer on his chest, covering his mouth and nose with a soft object with drugs, causing him to suffocate to death without struggling violently. ”

This is the process of the crime that Ling Lan deduced, and it should be correct from the traces of the scene and the clues found so far.

At this time, Mo Ziyu stood up, took a few steps and said in a low voice, "Don't you think it's strange? ”

"What's strange?"

Mo Ziyu suddenly turned around, and his tone was extremely serious: "The murderer should have taken the opportunity to kill General Chen during the first attack, because General Chen was tilting his head back at that time, but the murderer didn't." According to the analysis of the footprints near Lingquan, the murderer may have been a woman, and she lacked strength, so she was unable to kill General Chen with one blow. However, how was General Chen, who was attacked, not mortally wounded, to launch an all-out counterattack, and how was he subdued by the murderer? ”

Thinking about his words seriously, Ling Lan found that she hadn't thought about this question.

The two looked at each other.

"Perhaps, the murderer of the first attack did not directly kill General Chen, not because of his lack of strength." Ling Lan muttered.

"Why is that?"

Ling Lan just said that, and at this time, she was asked to rack her brains but had no reasonable explanation.

This question can only be put aside for a while.

After a while, the two talked about the undigested bamboo shoots found in General Chen's stomach...

The next morning, half-asleep Ling Lan is woken up by Fluttershy, looking out the window with sleepy eyes.

"Miss Ling, the adults said that the guests have arrived, you should be more energetic!" Fluttershy says helplessly.

Guests arrived?

Is it Mr. Liu mentioned by Mo Ziyu last night?

Ling Lan, who was slow to turn on the phone, reacted after a moment and immediately asked Fluttershy to help comb her hair.

It was just dawning outside, and Ling Lan, who had changed her clothes, hurried out the door.

Led by Fluttershy to the corpse cold room in the backyard of the Criminal Department, it seems that Mo Ziyu has arrived with Mr. Liu first.

As soon as I walked in with my mask, I heard Mo Ziyu's surprised voice: "Mr. Liu, are you sure?" ”

Ling Lan strode forward and guessed that Mr. Liu had made a discovery, and normally it should be no problem, because there is a specialization in the art industry, and many things have become simple in the eyes of relevant professionals.

At this time, Mr. Liu did not respond, but looked at Ling Lan from far to near: "I don't know who this girl is?" ”

"Miss Ling is working in the Criminal Department, but it doesn't matter if you say it." Mo Ziyu explained.

Hearing that he was working in the Criminal Department, Mr. Liu's gaze changed significantly, and he nodded slightly to say hello.

Looking at the old man with gray temples in front of him, Ling Lan was very respectful: "Hello Mr. Liu, it's been hard work all the way. ”

Mo Ziyu raised her eyebrows slightly, she was surprisingly polite.

The smile in Mr. Liu's eyes deepened: "Miss Ling is polite, it is an old man's honor to be able to do things for Master Mo, not to mention the word hard work." ”

Ling Lan was just out of respect for the old man, but she didn't expect the other party to be really polite...

Knowing that Mo Ziyu was eager to understand the situation, Mr. Liu looked at the three corpses lying side by side again.
