Volume 5 Jiangnan Four Hundred and Eighty Temples Chapter 472 The clue is broken
After saying goodbye from Yuanjue's side, Xiao Qian looked at Sun Ning and said, "Sun Lang, why do you attach so much importance to the characters on this roster?" Do you really think there will be the key clues we are looking for? ”
"Maybe, after all, that's all we really have now." Sun Ning was still thinking about the possible connection between the two fires in his mind, and only replied casually.
"So where are we going to look for clues next?" Xiao Qian looked at a team of soldiers and horses walking in the distance, "Why don't you go outside at night?" ”
Sun Ning regained his concentration at this time, and after thinking about it for a while, he also nodded: "Indeed, now that the temple can't find any usable clues, change the angle and direction, maybe there can really be new discoveries." For example, we can first determine how they entered Hanshan Temple. ”
This question is indeed very important, Sun Ning not only reminded Cao Xudong, but also thought and considered it himself.
That's more than a dozen big men, and they still have guys, and it's not so easy to enter the Hanshan Temple, which has long been defended by officials and soldiers.
At least one thing can be confirmed, they could not have entered through the main entrance of the temple, otherwise they would have been discovered and taken.
In addition to the main gate of Hanshan Temple, there are more than ten portals in front and back, and some of them look quite remote, and on the way to the festival, it is indeed easy to hide people's eyes and ears to lean over. And then as long as you buy off the gatekeepers, everything will fall into place.
As long as the location of the gateway to the temple is confirmed, it may be possible to deduce where they came from, and further where they will flee......
Just when Sun Ning fell into contemplation and felt that it was time to go out for a walk at night, Cao Xudong in front of him walked over in great strides, and when he saw the two of them at a glance, he raised his hand to say hello: "Brother Sun, you can make it easy for me to find it!" ”
"Master Cao, why are you here?" Sun Ning hurriedly shouted, and then asked, "But there is already a clue?" The guys who let people into the temple have found it? ”
"Found it, but one step too late." Cao Xudong looked annoyed, "If only I could think of this layer myself, I would have come to the door earlier." ”
"You mean, the soldiers ran away?" Sun Ningqi said. It seems reasonable for these guys to be thieves and choose to run away, but it is quite unwise, because that means not to confess themselves, and once the government is really determined to find them, it is not a wanted thing?
"No, they were killed and died." Cao Xudong said angrily, "It took me a lot of effort and a lot of friends to help me talk, so I was able to investigate the situation in the army." As a result, after a few days of hard work, just a little eyebrows, there was such a situation, those soldiers must have been bribed by the thieves who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, killing people and killing people! ”
Sun Ning was also shocked, the courage and skill of the people behind the scenes were really big enough, not only did they make such a big move at the Hanshan Temple Festival, but now they have even directly attacked the soldiers in the army!
Cao Xudong came over today and obviously came to Sun Ning to complain about his distress, so he pulled him and continued: "Those fools are really dizzy, after getting benefits and making such a big move, they didn't know how to restrain themselves, and they went to the famous Chunfeng Building in Suzhou City to have fun.
"When I heard that night they scattered out a hundred taels of silver, which was almost as good as their five or six years' salary. In fact, if they hadn't been killed subsequently, that alone would have made me suspicious of them. ”
Sun Ning nodded, but his brows furrowed slightly, although these soldiers have no cultural knowledge, they are really so stupid, they don't even understand the truth of windfalls, this is for fear that they will not be suspected by the government.
After suppressing this doubt for a moment, he asked, "Then how did they die?" ”
"It was the next morning, when I walked out of the Chunfeng Building, I was suddenly attacked by someone behind me, and several people were killed by a knife cutting their throats.
"At that time, there were not many people on the street, and the murderer's movements were clean enough, and after killing someone, he went into the alley on the side and disappeared. By the time we arrived, there were only four corpses left. ”
After finishing speaking, Cao Xudong sighed helplessly: "In this way, the little clue just now is completely broken." Those guys are real outlaws, and they are bold and ruthless, and they do things without regard for the consequences, and they are the most terrible beings I have ever met in the past ten years. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Ning again: "Brother Sun, you helped me find this clue, but it turned out to be such a change." So, I thought I would have to explain it to you, so I came here to talk about it. ”
Sun Ning was a little moved by these words, and he really regarded himself as a friend, so he also smiled and said with relief: "Although the clues are temporarily broken, it does not mean that there is no hope at all."
"I always thought that there was no perfect way to commit crimes in this world, and the more they did, the more flaws they had, and they would always be able to find their feet. So Brother Cao, you don't have to be discouraged, follow the line of murder, maybe there will be a new harvest. ”
"Let's hope...... Hey, it's also to blame Wang Er's guys for being too out of tune, if they don't run to drink flower wine, they expose themselves and get a lot of benefits, and they won't attract the people behind the scenes. In that case, I go straight to the door to pick up people, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to get the answers I want from them? ”
After sighing again, Cao Xudong hugged Sun Ning and the others with a fist, and was about to leave.
At this time, Sun Ning remembered something again, and asked again: "By the way, does Brother Cao know which side of the gate Wang Er and the others are guarding?" ”
"It's the corner gate on the south side." Cao Xudong didn't mean to hide it, and as soon as he told what he had found, he strode away.
Obviously, for him, the next thing is getting more and more troublesome, not only to investigate the previous big case of Hanshan Temple, maybe even the case of the killing of these soldiers will have to be pressed on him.
However, after Sun Ning watched the other party leave for a while, his eyes turned and fell to the position of the corner gate on the south side, and then his brows furrowed again: "This seems to be a little unreasonable." ”
"How?" Xiao Qian said curiously, it was completely reasonable for her to listen to Cao Xudong's words along the way, and it was also reasonable for the people behind the scenes to kill people and kill their mouths.
"There is the corner gate, there is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and there is the main gate of the temple...... Sun Ning gently pointed his hand ahead, and the doubts on his face have been transformed into certainty, "The three of them are all on the same side, if they enter the temple, it is okay to say, but when they go out, can they still walk from the south corner gate after making such a big noise?" ”
……
