Volume III: The Case of the Hundred Ghosts Chapter 96: Evidence

"Oh, my brother!" At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the crowd, it was the ambassador of the Great Chu Mission-Tuoba Kang!

"I don't understand! He wants to kill someone, what is he doing to kill my brother? Tuoba Kang cried out, "We have been in the inn since we came to your kingdom, and we have not gone out......

"My brother, it is true that you did not go out, but your brother Duguyuan is not." Duan Ming smiled: "I was also puzzled at first, what was the purpose of killing Duguyuan? Could it be that it is to provoke the contradiction between Daqi and Dachu? ”

"Later, I thought about it carefully, when did Duguyuan die?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my brother's death? Tuoba Kang wondered.

"Of course there is a problem!" Duan Ming nodded: "Just before Dugu Yuan died, Chu Hou just came to us the first day, saying that he was not afraid of war. ”

"Then the next day, Duguyuan almost slept in the inn for a day, don't you feel strange?"

"I didn't understand." Tuoba Kang scratched his head and said in a deep voice.

"Duguyuan participated in this incident, but Duguyuan himself may not have thought of the true purpose of this incident." Duan Ming said: "After Chu Hou looked for us, Dugu Yuan learned the news. Dugu Yuan didn't want Daqi and Da Chu to really go to war, so he planned to come to Mingjing Division to tell us the truth. ”

"However, the other party is still superior, and he laid a killer in advance and killed Duguyuan."

"But what did my brother do?" Tuoba Kang scratched his head: "Why kill him?" What does he know? ”

"It's very simple, the secret of the night walk of the hundred ghosts!" Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "The thing disguised as a hundred ghosts is not so easy to get, ordinary cloth workshops can't make it at all, and even if it does, it can't be officially transported outside this Linyang City." ”

"That being the case, there must be someone who is responsible for the production and transportation. Da Chu's mission has just arrived here, and within a few days, there was a Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Case, who do you think it will be? ”

"You mean, us?" Tuoba Kang scratched his head: "Indeed, this time we came to see the Son of Great Qi, and we did bring a lot of things. ”

"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "Of course, this is just my guess, whether it is true or not, you can send someone to check whether your goods are defective or missing." ”

"Good!" Tuoba Kang nodded.

"When Dugu Yuan just died, I found this problem when I went to investigate, and I even found the so-called flying female ghost." Duan Ming said: "But that female ghost didn't hurt me, and she didn't stay long, so I guessed that the female ghost's purpose was not to run for me." ”

"The person behind it should be secretly transporting the 'female ghost', but it just happened to be discovered by me in front of Duguyuan's house."

"But why is the female ghost in your inn? That's what I thought about then. But I can't go to you for verification, so I'll have to rely on yourselves. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be right even if it's a needle!" Tuoba Kang patted his chest.

"Oh, yes." Duan Ming suddenly said, "Where is that servant from Duguyuan?" ”

"Here!" Xu Shizhong walked out of the crowd, holding the servant in his hand.

"I have to say." Duan Ming looked at the servant and said with a smile: "Your acting skills are indeed good. ”

"I, I don't understand what you mean." The servant looked at Duan Ming tremblingly, and then looked at Tuoba Kang: "Ambassador, you have to save me." ”

"No one can save you." Duan Ming interrupted: "I found a needle hole behind Duguyuan's neck, it was very deep into the flesh, and the skin around the needle eye was blue, which should have been caused by someone piercing it with a needle." ”

"What you said about a female ghost falling from the sky is true, but it is impossible for a female ghost to pierce the needle so deeply into Duguyuan's neck."

"Even if it can, then its strength is enough to kill Dugu Yuan directly without anesthesia first."

"And it's not normal for Duguyuan to sleep for a day, only you who are in control of Duguyuan's daily life can do it without knowing it."

"Besides, since Dugu Yuan walked out of the back door, it proves that he doesn't want people to know his whereabouts, in this case, isn't it more hidden for him to act alone? Why should I take you a servant? ”

"As soon as these are connected slightly, the results will come to the surface."

"That day, it wasn't Duguyuan who took you, but you quietly followed behind him and attacked the back of his neck with a steel needle, which was coated with a strong anesthetic, which made Duguyuan lose the ability to resist."

"Then, you cut off Duguyuan's head with a special tool and handed it to your companions waiting outside the door, and then you screamed."

"No, no, you're talking nonsense!" The servant cried out with a pale face: "I don't know what you're talking about! ”

"No, you know." Duan Ming shook his head: "During this time, I have been keeping people staring at the inn where you are staying, and I didn't find out that you smuggled that female ghost out. ”

In other words, the female ghost must still be in the inn. And if I'm not mistaken, in order to avoid our search, you placed the female ghost outside Duguyuan's window, and later learned that I went to Duguyuan's room to search, so I activated the mechanism and hid the female ghost on the roof. ”

"And when we leave, you must take the female ghost off the roof, as for the next place to hide, I guess there is no better than Dugu in the distant room."

"Why do you think he's hiding on the roof?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming suspiciously.

"The reason is simple." Duan Ming said: "I pushed open the window and looked up that day, but I didn't see any trace of the female ghost, and I didn't hear the sound of the window closing, so I guess the female ghost must have been hidden on the roof." ”

"But even if I went up to the roof and found the female ghost, I couldn't point to anyone, especially you."

"After all, you were being interrogated by the criminal commander at the time, and it seems that the probability is the lowest."

"So, I didn't startle the snake at the time, I just waited quietly until today."

"Since you've thought of this for a long time." The servant suddenly raised his head and looked at Duan Ming: "Then why are you still being arrested, just send someone to arrest me and him?" ”

"No way, like I said, I lack evidence." Duan Ming sighed: "For the Hundred Ghosts Nocturnal Case, if there is no evidence and speculation, it is impossible to bring you to justice. ”

"And from the perspective of criminal psychology, when I was considered a criminal by the Immortal Sect, and when I was about to be punished, it was the time when you let your guard down the most."

"If there are no accidents, you will definitely come to see me!"

"And at the same time, you will be sure to carry with you the things that you are proud of, such as triazolam, which is enough to stun a person, and a steel wire that is enough to cut a person's spine hidden in your sleeve!"
