Chapter Forty-Eight: Two Batches of Murderers
The woman killed herself so fast that before the three of them could react, the woman had already lost her breath.
"What kind of ruthless person is this, how can you say suicide, you will commit suicide." Zuo Yuntang was already ready to run away, but he didn't think that this woman didn't even resist, and committed suicide without saying a word.
Seeing this, Cui Mian suddenly remembered the clues of the assassination case, and immediately shouted: "It's not good, she took poison, General Fan quickly cut her throat." β
Fan Shuqing did not hesitate and immediately controlled the long sword to fly over, but it was too late, the poison had already been swallowed by the woman, and then her body began to fester.
Zuo Yuntang was a little puzzled when he heard Cui Mian's words: "How did Cui Sicheng know that she was going to take poison?" β
Cui Mian sighed and walked over to the woman's corpse and explained, "This woman is likely to be an assassin who appeared in the assassination of the imperial capital." β
"The assassination of the imperial capital? Aren't we investigating the robbery of the Ponzi caravan now, why is it still related to the assassination of the imperial capital? Zuo Yuntang was a little puzzled, but as soon as the words fell, she suddenly realized: "So these two cases are the same people?" I said why did you react so strangely when I just took out those lines, it turned out to be in the assassination case. β
Cui Mian formed an aura glove on her left hand and took off the woman's face towel. The woman's face had begun to fester, but she could still see most of it.
Reaching out and rubbing the normal part of the woman's face, Cui Mian was sure that the woman did not perform operations such as disguise. Then he used his dagger and left hand covered with aura to rummage through the woman's still festering places, trying to find some useful information.
Unfortunately, she didn't get her way, and the corpse festered quickly, turning into a puddle in just a few minutes.
"It's her, this person and the assassins in the assassination are the same as the same breath."
Zuo Yuntang stood next to him and didn't get started, and after hearing Cui Mian's words, he said very entangledly: "Cui Sicheng, I think you still need to tell me the specific situation." Since my master sent me to help, and you trust my master very much, there is no need to hide it from me, otherwise I won't be able to help when I come. β
Cui Mian looked at her, suddenly laughed and said, "Oh? Didn't Prison Zuo come to avenge his fiancΓ©? Why did Zhao Xijiu send you here again? β
Zuo Yuntang rolled his eyes and said: "Isn't that all to fool Lu Cailang, he doesn't know my master's character and temperament, I said that Zhao Xijiu sent me, no matter how suspicious he is, it will be a bad thing to send me away." β
Cui Mian took out several neat stacks of case files from his arms, handed them to Zuo Yuntang, and then squatted on the ground to carefully examine the woman's body.
Zuo Yuntang took the case file and looked at it for a long time under the light of the shark beads, and after Cui Mian turned over the corpse, Zuo Yuntang almost finished reading the case file, pondered for a moment and concluded: "So the situation of the assassination case in the imperial capital is very simple, the other party has a formation master, who can lay out various formations to cover up the aura with the knowledge of the pattern far beyond our time. There is also a guy who is good at the unique puppet technique of the Puppet Valley, and one or a group of middle-third grade assassins who look exactly the same. It was these people who stirred up trouble in the imperial capital and assassinated important ministers everywhere. β
Cui Mian nodded: "That's true, when Dali Temple investigated the assassination, it only found traces of these people, and there were no clues about anyone else at all." And most importantly, we have never been sure what their purpose is. β
"Well, if they can kill the commander of the Cold Flame Army of the Upper Three Realms on the spot in Wangji Village, it means that they have accomplices with a higher realm. If they really want to assassinate His Majesty and the important ministers of the court, why use such bad assassins, in this way, they seem to be thinking about what did not kill the courtiers and His Majesty. Belch... Could it be that they have limited manpower and choose to use the assassination of the imperial capital to attract attention, and then the real manpower is focused on looting treasures"
Cui Mian shook his head and said, "Unlikely, Your Majesty was assassinated for the first time a few months ago, and the plan for the Ponzi caravan had not yet been proposed at that time. β
After finishing speaking, Cui Mian asked his doubts: "Zuo Jiansheng, what did you come to Wangji Village for the day of the slaughter of the village." β
Zuo Yuntang hesitated after hearing this, and finally said truthfully: "Actually, it's not all right to say that I was fooling Lu Cailang just now, I did come for my fiancΓ©." It's just that the marriage between the two of us was a baby marriage between my mother and her sworn sisters, but the two of us have never met each other, so this time I quietly rushed behind my mother's back to withdraw from the marriage. β
"Divorce?"
Zuo Yuntang nodded and said: "Well, I don't like my mother forcibly assigning me a marriage, not to mention that I haven't even met him and I don't know each other's personalities, so it's irresponsible to me and him to make a lifelong decision." β
Cui Mian sighed twice and said: "Do you know how much damage the news of your divorce has dealt to his reputation as a yellow lady, and the responsibility you think is not good for him." β
Hearing Cui Mian's sarcastic words, Zuo Yuntang smiled and said: "No, my reputation as a good husband of Zuo Yuntang has already spread in the imperial capital, if he agrees, I will make some bigger scandals, so the fault is on me." His grandmother is a great sage who lives in seclusion in Wangji Village, and she takes the door very seriously, so naturally she will not marry her eldest grandson to me. β
After speaking, he shook his head a little lost and said: "These don't matter, they have all passed away, the day I came, Wangji Village was full of corpses, and I could smell the bloody smell of Wangji Village from a long distance........ Well? Wait a minute. β
Zuo Yuntang said as if he had noticed something wrong, and immediately asked out loud: "The previous assassinations were all concealed first?" β
Cui Mianzheng was using a dagger to pick up the corpse's clothes to find clues, and after hearing Zuo Yuntang's question, he replied casually: "Yes, except for the assassination of Prime Minister Zhao when he was broken by your master, the others were not discovered until after the assassination." β
Hearing Cui Mian's affirmative answer, Zuo Yuntang's eyes lit up and said, "Cui Sicheng, is there such a possibility, the murderers are not a group of people, but two batches." β
"The killers of the assassination were low-key, cautious, and concealed first in whatever they did. However, this group of murderers in Wangji Village was extremely rude, and there was no cover-up at the scene, and even the formation here was broken a lot when I came. In addition, there are also some formations that are obviously arranged after the fact, and it should be the first batch of murderers to clean up the tail of the second batch of murderers. β
