Chapter 30: The Knife (Three Watches)
"I checked." Xiahou Yu sighed a little decadently: "But behind this Fengyue Tower, there are many people on the one hand, and there are few people on the other, trying to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, the Xiao family and Dali Temple can't find it, where is it so easy?" ”
Mu Jiu looked at him, half a sound, took out a piece of paper and handed it over: "This is Xiao Xiantang's autopsy results, do you want to see it?" ”
Xiahou Yu looked at Mu Jiu in surprise, raised his hand and took the paper: "How can you have this?" ”
As he spoke, he unfolded the paper, thinking that it would be words, but it turned out to be a painting, which depicted a knife, but without a knife handle.
"This ......"
"If what I expected is right, this is what the murder weapon looks like, and only such a knife can match the wound on Xiao Xiantang's corpse."
If Xiahou Yu didn't know the reason why Mu Jiu was looking for her at this moment, he would be really stupid.
Some words, to the end, Mu Jiu got up and patted Xiahou Yu on the shoulder: "What to do, think for yourself." ”
Mu Jiu walked out of Fengyue Tower, and a carriage drove slowly and stopped in front of her, this carriage is very familiar, and the person driving is also very familiar, but there should be no one in the car, right?
"Nanfeng, are you going out for a walk in a carriage?"
Nanfeng smiled, is Miss Mu covering her ears and stealing the bell?
"Miss Mu, please get in the car."
Mu Jiu smiled and took two steps back: "This ....... I won't bother you, I'll walk a few steps to the Hou Mansion, and I don't need to take a carriage. ”
"Don't bother, Master Hou came out to wait for Miss Mu, please get in the car."
Mu Jiu: "......."
Climbed into the carriage, and there was a big demon king in a dark robe sitting in the car, and the carriage, which was quite wide, became cramped in an instant for some reason.
"Master Hou is so coincidental, you are also here to go shopping?"
Mu Jiu felt that he was unproductive, as if he was always empty and cowardly in front of Xiao Junshu, and he had to finish it.
Xiao Junshu, who closed his eyes and recuperated, slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of stunning eyes revealed an insightful light: "You have a good relationship with Xiahou Yu." ”
Mu Jiu felt that Xiahou Yu should hear this, and he would definitely be so excited that he would explode on the spot.
"Master Hou said with a smile, I just think it's best to leave the matter to the person who can solve it best." Mu Jiu sat down: "I think I also found out when I came to Hou Ye, since you are here, you can be regarded as acquiescing to my approach, and you will end up in the same way." ”
Xiao Junshu looked at Mu Jiu straight, his gaze was very cold, but the light was very bright, but it was a bit complicated, and Mu Jiu was uncomfortable, what was this for? Are you wondering how to get her to pieces?
This case is difficult to say, it is also difficult, there is no direct evidence, and the most important thing is that the Xiao family still doesn't know the so-called muddy waters, making the already difficult case even more difficult to investigate.
But if you have to say it, once you find the key point, it can also be very simple.
Xiahou Yu has a guard by his side, named Liu Zhao, who was rewarded to him by King Guangwen, and has been waiting by his side since he was a child, protecting him, not a few years older than Xiahou Yu, the two are master and servants, but they have a deep relationship.
This matter originally had nothing to do with this person named Liu Zhao, and it was estimated that no one would go to him, but he had a short knife.
The knife was made of iron tungsten, when Xiahou Yu got a piece of iron tungsten, he wanted to make a sword, but the material was not enough, it coincided with Liu Zhao's birthday, he made this piece of iron tungsten into a short knife, with a sheath, and gave it to Liu Zhao as a birthday gift.
Although this knife is not unique, Mu Jiu's painting makes him think of that knife at a glance.
With the direction of suspicion, it is much easier to look it up.
For example, whether Liu Zhao went out that night, when he went out, when he came back, and who else among the doubters went to that place.
If he suddenly asked Xiahou Yu to investigate these things, he would definitely not be able to find out, but he was poisoned last time and almost died, although he did not make a noise, but secretly he has been paying attention to some people, I wanted to find his evidence and handle, but I didn't expect to use it here.
Xiahou Yu's younger brother Xiahou Yi, Xiahou Yi is one year younger than him, the former side concubine, now the step-princess, from the concubine to the concubine, the side concubine can become the princess, the concubine can become the son-in-law, can the son-in-law become the son-in-law?
If it weren't for that poison, he wouldn't have woken up suddenly, and he couldn't have imagined the wolf ambition hidden under the gentleness and kindness of the step-princess and the respectful respect of Xiahouyi, and he couldn't have imagined that he had almost become someone else's meal.
He found that behind Fengyue Tower, that is, not far from Xiao Xiantang's captive little lover, there was a mansion there, which was not Xiahouyi's, but owned by Xiahouyi's cousin.
He didn't take these relatives with surnames five miles away seriously, but now that he thinks about it, these seemingly unimportant things are precisely the most important things that cannot be ignored.
Xiahou Yu stayed in Fengyue Tower until late at night, and it was still his bodyguard Liu Zhao who came to pick him up: "Lord Shizi, please take care of your body, Gongzi Xiao doesn't want to see Lord Shi like this." ”
Xiahou Yu turned his head to look at him, pulled his lips and smiled mockingly, and sighed: "Liu Zhao, you don't understand, I grew up with Xiantang, and he died suddenly, you say....... Am I going to end up like him one day? ”
Liu Zhao shook his head: "Don't think like this, you are the prince of the world, how can you be compared?" ”
"Tianhuang nobles are not people? It's just a life, and I want to die..... Not easy? ”
Xiahou Yu sighed, shook his head, and staggered back all the way, looking very drunk.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still bright, Xiahou Yu got up, and his eyes looked like bloodshot after a hangover, but there was a stunning and resolute light in them.
"Someone."
"The slave and maid are here, please command."
"Go ahead, bring your master's formal clothes."
Xiahou Yu is the canonized prince, Emperor Chu personally issued an order, there is a holy decree, there is a seal, and a set of five-baht deepened prince's formal clothes, this set of clothes, unless it is to participate in some important festivals or worship, will not be taken out on weekdays.
Xiahou Yu changed his clothes, Liu Zhao was already waiting, and Xiahou Yu sent someone to shout.
Seeing Xiahou Yu's equipment, Liu Zhao was surprised: "The prince wants to enter the palace?" ”
"Yesterday, Dingbei Hou was grounded by the saint, and there will definitely be an argument in the court today, I have to go and see."
Xiahou Yu said it reasonably, Liu Zhao was suspicious, but he still didn't say anything, and entered the palace with Xiahou Yu in a carriage.
Although Xiahou Yu has the dignity of the prince, he has no official lord, and if he wants to enter the Jinluan Palace, he still needs to be summoned by a notification, so he can only wait at the door and listen to the summons.
King Guangwen didn't expect to see his son here, and frowned: "What are you doing here?" Still dressed like this? ”
Xiahou Yu respectfully bowed his hand: "The sons and daughters naturally have their own affairs when they come, and my father will know later." ”
