Chapter Seventy-Three: Investigation of the Facts
Kyoto Yong'an Fang Huahuo Street, the scene of the thirteen murder cases, Xu Jianping came here alone, several yellow characters of the Imperial History Mansion are guarding the perimeter of the scene, the case has happened for a day, the surrounding people and passers-by are standing and pointing at this place.
"Who are you, idle people, don't stay here, go, go!" A young man in an embroidered robe, Yu Shi, scolded Xu Jianping, who was about to go inside.
Xu Jianping is not wearing a bad uniform today, and although he is the Xuanzi Imperial History of the Imperial History Mansion, he is in charge of the entire Imperial History Mansion, but he has not been resident in the Imperial History Mansion in recent days, and most of the imperial historians in the palace do not know him.
Xu Jianping smashed his tongue, reached out to his waist, and groped for a while, "Huh", where is the waist card? Gone, Xu Jianping figured it out, Xu was changing clothes, and put it down, so he had to say to him, "Under Xu Jianping, I don't know who is in charge of guarding this place today." ”
When the young imperial historian heard this, he looked at it fixedly, "Xu Jianping? "This name, why is it so familiar, is it a distant relative of mine? The young Yushi thought for a while and said to him, "This brother, I don't know which relative you are, but this place is the scene of the murder, and idle people can't enter, so please go back." ”
Xu Jianping rolled his eyes, a little crying and laughing, Xu is too low-key, "You are thinking about it, Xu Jianping, who is surnamed Xu in the Imperial History Mansion?" ”
The young Yushi suddenly realized, surnamed Xu, why is it so familiar to me, and hurriedly said, "Oh, you are a relative of Lord Xu's family, but even if you are a member of Lord Xu's family, without the permission of the above, I don't dare to let you in without permission, so please go back." ”
Xu Jianping was completely stunned, how smart a person does it take to think so clearly, and was about to explain again, Wang Yishan Shi Shiran walked over, and scolded the two of them from afar, "What are you doing, didn't you say that no one is allowed to approach this place, how can you be so bad, and you, the place under the care of the Imperial History Mansion, dare to trespass, I am not afraid that someone will arrest you and go back and lock it up for a few days." ”
When the young Yushi heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed his hand, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have repeatedly dissuaded me, but this brother said that it was Lord Xu's family, and his subordinates did not drive him away." ”
Xu Jianping heard the voice behind him, turned around slowly, and his handsome face suddenly met Wang Yishan's eyes.
Wang Yishan just wanted to scold again, suddenly looked at a familiar and unfamiliar face, and hurriedly knelt down, "Xu, Xu, Lord Xu, my subordinates are clumsy for a while, and the words of the right person are offended, and I ask the adults to punish them." ”
Xu Jianping's face was joyful, and he didn't have the anger of being scolded at all, the young Yushi acted like this, which shows that the Yushi Mansion is still very principled in doing things, and he can't be blamed, and Wang Yishan's words are not at fault, on the contrary, Xu Jianping praised the behavior of the two today, "Okay, get up, you didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, you did it right, is you responsible for this case?" ”
The young man next to him, Yushi, heard the conversation between the two, rolled his eyes, and finally understood his identity, and followed Wang Yishan to kneel on the ground, but he didn't speak, obviously panicked.
When Wang Yishan heard this, he stood up, bowed his head and patted the embroidered robe, and replied respectfully, "My lord, my lord was still in a coma yesterday, and this case is temporarily in charge of my subordinates. ”
Xu Jianping pondered for a moment and said, "This is very good, first go in with this official to explore the scene, and arrange it for a long time." After speaking, he walked over and picked up the young man Yushi who was still kneeling on the ground, "The thing is done well, in his position, he has his power, and he does his duty." ”
The young Yushi looked at Xu Jianping, who was a few years younger than him, and his heart trembled, "Thank you for mentioning it." ”
After being admitted to the hospital, seven or eight mutilated corpses were scattered all over the courtyard, because more than a day had passed, because it was a summer day, the corpses on the ground had begun to stink a little, Xu Jianping walked to the one on the edge of the door, lifted the cover, and a corpse missing half of his face came into view, Xu Jianping, who was used to seeing all kinds of corpses, also chuckled in his heart, "Fortunately, it was broad daylight." ”
This is a corpse that has been eaten half of his face, male, about thirty-five years old, dressed in a black suit, looking at his figure, strong, strong, obviously not ordinary people, warriors, but not people from the rivers and lakes, it seems that it is a caretaker of which family.
Xu Jianping took out gloves and short knives from the wooden box he carried, stripped off the corpse's clothes one by one, carefully inspected all the scars on his body, and found no new sword wounds, only multiple scratches and bite marks, obviously the cause of his death was because he was gnawed half of his face, and died of excessive blood loss, and for a moment, Xu Jianping thought of the "drought" at the east gate of the city that day, "Lord Wang, let people check all the corpses to see if there are any new sword wounds, and make a comparison of the scratches and bite marks of each corpse." and see how many of the perpetrators were. ”
You must know that although the "Drought Fish" is a powerful thing, the number will definitely not be numerous, and the people behind the scenes have caused many murders in recent days, I don't know what its intentions are, and it is definitely not as simple as killing and creating panic.
Due to the fact that the corpse was too much, Xu Jianping did not have so much time to examine the corpse, so he ordered Wang Yishan to lead the officials in the palace to inspect the corpse.
Wang Yishan took the order and left, Xu Jianping walked to the house, a smell of blood permeated the entire space, the small space was full of smashed wooden furniture, obviously this was also after a fight, there were also four corpses inside, lift the cover, look at its dress, it should be the shopkeeper of the fireworks hall here and his family, Xu Jianping looked around, and did not find anything abnormal, even the stumps and broken legs that were everywhere before were identified by everyone in the Imperial History Mansion, Xu Jianping sighed softly at the corpse in the house, and walked out.
Thirteen families, Xu Jianping walked one by one, looking for the blood-red footprints on the courtyard wall, came to the Weishui River, the trail ended here, obviously the "drought fish" were withdrawn from the waterway, Weishui, Xu Jianping couldn't help but think of the Yan commander buried on the bank of the Weishui River outside the city, remembering the duel that had not yet begun, but had ended, Xu Jianping clenched his fists.
In a remote courtyard in Kyoto, a group of men in black short clothes were busy nervously, and the white-bearded old man slowly walked in and asked the people in the room, "How is it, is it enough?" Tomorrow's business, and don't travel pool. ”
The middle-aged man didn't raise his head, stretched out his finger, and said, "Enough, it's been allocated, the things are there, take them away at any time, do you bring what I want?" ”
The white-bearded old man beckoned, and a group of men dressed in messenger clothes walked in and carried the contents of the house out. The white-bearded old man put his hand into his arms, took out an object from it, and threw it to the middle-aged man, "Leave Kyoto, and come back after the wind passes." ”
