Chapter 534: One Step Late
After a while, the two guards who had gone in returned.
"Master, when I went in, I saw a candle flame lit inside, we saw it, it should be Zheng Shounian."
"Master, do you want to take people down immediately?"
"Sure enough, it's here!" The fifth prince was about to let people take down Zheng Shounian, but was stopped by Su Yizhao.
"What is he doing?" Su Yizhao suddenly asked.
The guard was a little puzzled, "I'm sleeping."
"Why do you light up the lights when you sleep?" Su Yizhao immediately sensed that something was wrong, and then suddenly felt bad.
"Not good! Let's go and see if they're still there!"
The two guards immediately returned the same way, but Su Yizhao frowned.
An Tao behind her whimpered twice, and Su Yizhao looked back and found that her eyes were full of worry.
"Waiter, you are here to watch, watch An Tao."
As he spoke, Su Yizhao pulled up the five princes and got out of the carriage.
"Kick the door!" Su Yizhao came to the gate of the courtyard and shouted directly.
The fifth prince didn't say a word, kicked the door and went in. After entering, he closed the door with his backhand, and the two went straight to the bedroom with the candle lit.
"Master, it's not good, the people are gone." A guard stepped forward to report.
"What's going on? Where have the people gone?" The Fifth Prince frowned and asked.
"What was still there just now has disappeared now, and Li Dong was found unconscious in the house." The guards thought things were too strange.
Li Dong is another guard, and the two of them came back just now to report, and Li Dong left them to guard.
"Send someone to chase after you immediately to see if there are any traces along the way, and pay attention to the wheel prints and the footprints of the horses."
Su Yizhao sighed, they really startled the snake.
One of the guards immediately jumped over the wall, ready to chase it.
Su Yizhao and the five princes hurried to the bedroom, and as soon as they entered, they saw the guard Li Dong lying on the ground unconscious.
"Let's see if he's okay!" Su Yizhao instructed the other guard.
The guard Wu Huo glanced at the five princes, but saw that the five princes did not look at him, so he helped Li Dong aside and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.
Su Yizhao first glanced at the bed, the quilt was lifted, she stepped forward and touched it, with a little residual warmth.
It should be because I was lying in bed before and left in a hurry.
Scanning the room, I found that the layout was very simple, except for the bed, there was only a set of tables and chairs and a Bogu shelf.
The Bogu shelf was empty, there was nothing.
Su Yizhao shook the Bogu frame, and he could push it, but there was no abnormality.
Walked around the house and everything was normal.
Suddenly, she smelled a strange smell. Su Yizhao turned around and lifted the quilt, and a shocking ball of blood appeared in front of him.
The fifth prince stepped forward to take a look, where did he still not understand?
"Zheng Shounian has been killed!" But he didn't understand, "Those people killed him, but why did they take his body away?" Isn't that asking for trouble?"
Su Yizhao turned his head to look at the guard Wu Huo, "When you saw Zheng Shounian, was there nothing unusual about him?"
"He was lying in bed, and he didn't notice anything unusual." Wu Huo recalled carefully.
"That is, not long after the person died, perhaps before we came. At that time, there must have been people hiding in the house, and when they found Li Dong and them, they did not move." ….
Su Yizhao analyzed, "Zheng Shounian should have been killed in bed, and after they finished killing, Li Dong and the others came, so the perpetrators disguised Zheng Shounian as asleep."
The fifth prince nodded in agreement, "That means that when they wait for only Li Dong, they will stun Li Dong and take the opportunity to take Zheng Shounian's body away?"
Su Yizhao nodded, and then walked to the back of the bed, looking for something.
At this time, Li Dong finally woke up leisurely, and as soon as he woke up, he said that he was stunned.
The fifth prince followed Su Yizhao to the window, and Su Yizhao finally found a drop of blood on the window.
take
The handkerchief was rubbed, it was still fresh, and it did not solidify.
"It looks like they've been taken away, but why are they taking people away? Isn't it superfluous to run away with a dead man? It also increases the difficulty." The five princes were puzzled.
The fifth prince immediately ordered Wu Huo to jump out from the window to chase after him, since there were blood stains here, there must be one along the way.
"It's nothing more than two points: first, the fear that people will recognize the traces of the murder weapon on the corpse; Second, the corpse has another use." Su Yizhao said thoughtfully.
"What do you think of it?" The fifth prince raised his eyebrows, and Su Yizhao's mind was very delicate.
"The first point is that Zheng Shounian is only a deputy envoy, and he doesn't even have a grade, even if he wants to frame the blame, he is not qualified at all. What's more, we've already found out, and the plan won't work."
Su Yizhao checked it again, and there was no trace except for a drop of blood on the edge of the window.
Returning to the bed again, Su Yizhao carefully observed the bloodstains on the bed.
The fifth prince was thinking about some special weapon, and since he was afraid that people would recognize the wound, the weapon he held must be very eye-catching.
Su Yizhao turned the quilt over and found that there was a hole in it, and it was in a state of running through the end.
The hole is changed from large to small, shaped like a square.
"You should know a little bit about weapons, what shape do you see? I feel like a cube?"
Su Yizhao opened the quilt as he spoke, and there were spray-like blood stains underneath.
"It's a triangular pyramid!" The fifth prince remembered a weapon, and suddenly his face became solemn.
"Few of us in the Great Cloud Dynasty use this kind of weapon, but they will use it outside the gate. This weapon is very sharp, and once it is stabbed, it is basically impossible to survive, because the stab is too deep to stop the bleeding."
"In other words, the person who killed Zheng Shounian is likely to be someone from outside the Guan?" Su Yizhao pondered, "But Zheng Shounian is doing things for the people behind the scenes, and he is a capable commander who escorts fake armaments, how can people outside the customs kill him? Unless the people behind the scenes collude with the outside of the border."
"Do you recall that anyone in the DPRK used this kind of weapon?" Su Yizhao asked again.
The Fifth Prince shook his head, "Most of the warriors of this dynasty use long swords, spears, and bows and arrows, and I can't think of anyone who would use such weapons."
Su Yizhao sighed, "Next is Di Songlin, I hope he can hold on!" Master Kang has already sent someone to keep an eye on him."
"Let's go and interrogate An Tao, maybe there will be clues on her side."
As he spoke, the fifth prince asked Li Dong to go back and find someone to come over, and search the house inside and out to see if there was anything else to gain.
"Zheng Shounian is afraid that he has long known that someone is going to kill him, so will he do anything in response? An Tao is the person he wants to take away, maybe An Tao knows something. Zheng Shounian is dead, and she can't keep it a secret."
Su Yizhao and the five princes returned to the carriage again, but when they didn't want to get to the gate of the courtyard quickly, they heard the sound of fighting outside.
Su Yizhao immediately yelled at the five princes, "Go and help!"
The fifth prince had already drawn his sword and quickly swept towards the outside of the courtyard.
