Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Duofu...... These people are all the masterminds of the "seizure of the door". Now that Duofu and Cao Jixiang are dead, one of Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng will be the murderer's next target.

But why did the murderer draw a Momei on them, and why did he mutilate the corpse of the deceased, Murong couldn't figure it out. Duofu, Zhang Xuan lost his arm, some people lost their feet, and even their heads...... Why did the killer do this?

Murong pondered and meditated: Imprint! The person who "grabbed the door" has the imprint of Momei! But none of these people were found, but their bodies were mutilated...... Could it be that the body parts cut off by the murderer are where Momei's brand is located! Not bad!

Murong finally figured out this matter: all of this is for the revenge of King Yu!

Originally, thirteen palace servants were hanged outside the Wenhua Palace, and the murderer started a revenge plan with this as a provocation. Then there was the sudden murder of Duofu, followed by Cao Jixiang...... Then there are Zhang Xuan and others.

What Murong was thinking about now was to examine Cao Jixiang's body, expecting to find any clues. But it is not known whether Cao Qin will back down.

"I'll go into the palace to explain this matter to the emperor! You take someone to check Cao Jixiang's body first! I'll be there! Murong said to Wang Liang.

"Cao Jixiang's corpse!" Wang Liang shouted, "You must know that Cao Qin will never allow it!" ”

"It's urgent! I don't care too much, the murderer may kill again! I'm going to enter the palace and face the saint! After Murong finished speaking, he left, and Wang Liang had to take someone to Dongchang to ask to see Cao Qin.

On the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Jianshen was at a loss and sighed again and again.

"Minister Murong Wuji knocks on the emperor!"

Zhu Jianshen motioned to get up and asked, "Is there any progress in the case?" Murong nodded, and Zhu Jianshen immediately smiled. Murong recounted the events of the past few days in detail. Zhu Jianshen's face changed a few times when he heard this, and he was even more surprised in his heart.

Murong admonished: "At present, we should find the people of the 'Seize the Gate' organization back then and protect them, and wait for the murderer to throw himself into the net!" ”

Zhu Jianshen was deeply troubled: "I don't know how to find protection for these people?" ”

"Doesn't the emperor know?"

Zhu Jianshen nodded without hesitation and said: "The first emperor never talked about the things of the past, and I have no way of knowing!" I also know about the big people like Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng, but everyone in this organization ...... It's hard to find out! ”

"For today's plan, I can only ask Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen!" Murong Dao.

Murong walked out of the Wenhua Hall and went straight to Cao Qin's East Factory, and as soon as he arrived at the East Factory, he saw that the gate was closed, and Wang Liang and several thousand households were at a loss outside.

At this time, when Wang Liang saw Murong coming, he complained: "This Cao Qin is a bull temper, let me talk about it, it is not oil and salt, let alone inspect Cao Jixiang's corpse, he will not see it!" ”

Murong had already expected that Cao Qin would not meet, and he already had a countermeasure in his heart.

So he stepped forward and knocked on the door, but at this time it was Liu Xi, the commander of the East Factory, who opened the door!

Murong bowed and said, "Jinyi Wei Murong Wuji asks to see Duke Cao of Dongchang!" ”

Liu Xi said with a strange smile: "Just because you know a little brocade guard, you want to see Cao Dugong, Cao Dugong investigates the case day and night, how can you have the leisure to wait, retreat quickly!" ”

Liu Xi's words, Murong had already expected: "Xiaguan's trip is just for the case!" ”

Liu Xi couldn't help but smile and said: "Could it be that you Jinyi Weishan is exhausted, and you have come to beg our governor to come!" Why don't you see Lord Zhou, the sincerity is insufficient! ”

Murong's face was solemn, and he muttered a few words in Liu Xi's ear, but no one heard it clearly.

"Please bother Lord Liu to relay these eight words to the Duke! The Governor will meet you! Murong said proudly.

Liu Xi was treacherous and slippery, how could he agree to Murong's words: "Why do our family believe you and run for your eight words?" ”

"If these eight words reach the ears of the Governor, the Governor will not only meet me but also let me perform an autopsy! If not, you will be judged on the spot! ”

Liu Xi didn't believe that Murong's eight words could persuade Cao Qin, but he wanted to make this bet: "Okay! There is no basis for speaking, and high-fives are an oath! As he spoke, he stretched out a palm towards Murong.

Murong slapped it without thinking.

Liu Xi laughed and turned away, Wang Liang hurriedly came over and said, "You are crazy!" If Cao Qin doesn't see it, he won't see it, so why bother with his life! If Liu Xi is a hindrance from it, your life will be explained here! ”

"Cao Qin will definitely see me!" Murong Jian's resolute eyes stared motionlessly at the gate of the East Factory that was about to close.

"What the hell did you tell him?" Wang Liang also asked curiously at this time.

"The incident of seizing the door, the king of the servant chasing the soul!" Murong slowly spit out these eight words, which meant to tell Cao Qin that the seizure of the door had been known, and that the murder case was the result of King Yu's return.

Let's say that Liu Xizheng walked towards the inner hall excitedly, thinking in his heart: Murong Wuji, you are dead, even if the Duke is moved by these words, I will add oil and vinegar to the side to make the Duke refuse, you will not live tonight!

Liu Xi is really too naïve, and he doesn't know about "seizing the door" even if he wants to break his head.

"Governor! Jin Yiwei knew that Murong Wuji was asking to see him outside! ”

Cao Qin has been busy investigating the case for the past few days, and he has already had a little gray hair: "Murong Wuji? Missing! ”

"He brought eight words! The incident of seizing the door, the king of the servant chases the soul! As soon as Liu Xi finished speaking, he saw Cao Qin immediately stand up and was stunned.

He was about to say, "The Governor is gone, and I will reply to him!" The words had already reached his lips, and Cao Qin had already arrived outside the door at this time.

The moment the door opened, Wang Liang's heart rose to his throat. If it was Liu Xi who came out, then Murong would be at rest.

I saw that it was Cao Qin, and Wang Liang put down his hanging heart.

"You've got it all!" Cao Qin looked at the young man with a beautiful face in front of him, and he was still a little green. I had never paid attention to him before, but who knew that he actually found out about the "seizure of the door".

Murong nodded and bowed: "The lower official has found out!" Please allow the Governor to inspect the corpse of the old Governor! ”

Cao Qin hesitated for a while, and led Murong and the others into the East Factory. As soon as Murong entered the door, he saw Liu Xi's iron-blue face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes squinted.

Wang Liang couldn't help laughing for a while, but he still held back. Liu Xi had no choice but to turn his head away and say nothing.

In the morgue of the East Factory, Cao Jixiang lay quietly aside, looking serene, and he had long since lost the tragic appearance of his death. Murong asked, "Has the Duke ever tested it?" ”

"We're never going to do that!"

"That's rude!" Murong said hello and moved his knife at Cao Jixiang's corpse.

Cao Qin turned around and heard the sound of the knife cutting through the flesh very harshly, and he couldn't help frowning. To say that the governor of Dongchang, who doesn't blink his eyes for murder, can't bear it, Cao Qin has some feelings for Cao Jixiang in the end.

After a while, the cacophony stopped. Murong said softly: "The old governor was cut to death by someone's heart!" And he also has a Momei mark on his body! ”

Cao Qin was puzzled: "Why did the murderer cut off his heart, cut off his head and cut off his arm?" What is the purpose of this? ”

"It depends on where their Momei brand is!"

As soon as Murong's words fell, Cao Qin subconsciously held his wrist.

Murong continued: "Because that's where their imprint is!" After speaking, he grabbed Cao Qin's wrist and lifted his sleeve.

I saw that Cao Qin's wrist had a very obvious ink plum brand!

"The Governor is one of them!"

"You're bold!" Cao Qin shouted angrily.

Murong immediately let go of Cao Qin's wrist and bowed: "The lower official is guilty!" I also hope that the Governor will know the true meaning of this Momei and the other people who 'seize the door', which is related to the lives of many people, including the Governor You! ”

Cao Qin didn't laugh angrily: "You mean that this murderer will come to kill our family?" Let him come, let's go find it in the province! ”

"Does the Governor know about the other 'door-grabbers'?"

"This Momei, our family really doesn't know!" Murong didn't look like Cao Qin was lying, and besides, lying didn't do him any good.

"Please allow me to check out the Cao Mansion!"

Cao Qin led the way to Cao's Mansion to check, and along the way, Cao Qin's face was very ugly and he didn't speak.

The place where Cao Jixiang died has remained intact. As soon as Murong came in, he saw the Momei pattern behind the door panel. There's nothing unusual about it elsewhere.

Murong's eyes were old, and he walked to the Taishi chair. Cao Qin said: "A hairpin was found here, and it should have been left by the murderer like the previous one!" ”

But Murong saw another object under the Taishi's chair: a Danshu iron coupon.

Cao Qin was also shocked when he saw him take out this thing, and he didn't look at it carefully when he checked it because of his emotions, so he missed an important clue.

Murong looked at the Danshu iron coupon in his hand and thought: What does this thing mean? This Danshu iron coupon seems to be an imitation, and the craftsmanship is crude. At a glance, you can see that this is fake.

Cao Qin couldn't figure it out. The two kept looking at each other. But no one spoke.

"This Momei brand ......" Cao Qin wanted to speak and stopped, and said after a while: "I heard the old governor say that there were actually three masterminds in the matter of seizing the door back then, and these three people respectively convened the dead to discuss the restoration of the first emperor. But only these three people know all the people involved, and the subordinates don't know at all! Our family is a subordinate of the old governor, and we only know the old governor! ”

Murong hurriedly asked, "Who are these three masterminds?" ”

"Old Duke, Shi Heng, Duke of Zhongguo, and Xu Youzhen, a scholar of Huagai Palace!"

Murong suddenly realized something, and immediately called Wang Liangdao: "Quickly send someone to Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen's mansion to protect these two!" That's the only clue we can catch! ”

After Wang Liang left, Murong thought about this Danshu iron coupon, and he thought of the murder that happened in Zhang Xuan's mansion.

Murong stood up suddenly, and Cao Qin also stood up at this time. The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Zhang Xuan! ”

It turned out that this Zhang Xuan was the descendant of Zhang Yu, the hero of Jingnan, and there was a Danshu iron coupon given by the royal family at home. And the Danshu iron coupon in Cao Jixiang's house caters to Zhang Xuan.

Murong thought to himself: This is ...... A clue left by the killer? Why did he do that?

The murderer will leave a hairpin every time he kills someone, if this Danshu iron coupon is also a clue left by the murderer, he should have left it in the previous case, but we didn't find it!

Murong was hovering in his mind about the cases of the past few days: first thirteen palace servants were hanged, and then the chief of Duofu was killed! then to Cao Jixiang being killed, and then to Zhang Xuan...... Is there a connection?

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Murong's mind: Duofu is the head of the Great Interior, and killing thirteen palace servants is not a provocation to the emperor, but a hint that the next victim is Duofu!

Duofu's identity as a eunuch was catering to the Dongchang Governor Cao Jixiang was killed. Now this Danshu iron coupon just confirms that Zhang Xuan was killed!

Murong figured it all out, he slammed out and went straight to the morgue, he wanted to check the bodies of Zhang Xuan and the other four people again, to see if there were any clues, who was the next victim?

Seeing that he reacted so strongly, Cao Qin ran out without asking too much. Following all the way to the morgue, Cao Qin saw that Murong was very emotional, and turned around in the morgue, and the corpse was in disarray in an instant.

"What the hell are you doing!" Cao Qin said impatiently.

"Clues, clues! Something is missing! Murong seemed to be in a rage, thinking: After so many days without a murder case, he is about to start!

At this time, Wang Liang found the morgue and saw Murong stop him in a hurry: "What are you doing!" Calm down now! If you do this, you will destroy the clues! ”

It took a long time for Murong to calm down, and he looked at Wang Liangdao: "Why are you here!" ”

Wang Liang said slowly: "Something happened!" ”

Murong already had the answer in his heart, but he just didn't dare to say it, his lips trembled slightly.

"Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen are missing......" Wang Liang blurted out.

Exactly: serial murders, with a connection. Shi and Xu died tragically, and the clues were broken again.
