With the permission of King Shunjing, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu also breathed a sigh of relief and began to investigate in earnest.

Soon, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu came to the hall where the coffin was stored under the leadership of King Shunjing, and the two spirit guiding boys slowly raised their heads, looking at Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu, their miserable white faces touched two round red blushes, which looked particularly gloomy.

"Thank you, two boys." King Shunjing bowed slightly to the two spirit guiding boys, and then said, "These two are here to investigate the cause of Mengcheng's death. ”

The two spirit guide boys nodded to King Shunjing, without making any sound, slowly stood up, turned their backs to the coffin, and walked out little by little.

"Alright, two of you, please." King Shunjing said.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Duan Ming said.

Then the two of them moved the coffin away little by little, revealing the majestic figure inside.

"Sorry to interrupt!" Duan Ming hugged Meng Cheng with his fists, and then said to Xing Qianqiu, "You can help me record it." ”

"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded.

Then Duan Ming began to perform an autopsy little by little, Mengcheng's can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles, and his body is covered with scars, but these scars are old and did not affect Duan Ming's judgment.

"There is a three-inch-long scar at the mouth of the vest, and the edges are rolled inward, which should be the cause of death." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "But the corresponding position on the chest is only a scar of about two inches. In this way, it should be a sword that killed General Meng...... Dagger? ”

"Why do you say that?" King Shunjing asked suspiciously.

"That's right." "The wound on the front chest is shorter than the wound on the back, which proves that the murder weapon was pierced from the back. ”

"There are many weapons in General Meng's room, but most of them are swords. But if the murder weapon is a knife, then the wound should be wide on one side and narrow on the other, but General Meng's wound does not have this performance, so it will not be a knife. ”

"And if you use a sword, the size of the sword is very neat, and the length of the front and back wounds should be the same, and there will be no short front and long back."

"Of course, if it is deliberately controlled, such as stopping just after piercing the tip of the sword through the chest, there is a certain possibility of causing such damage. But in that case, will the murderer put so much effort into it? Why is there any need to do so? ”

"As for using something else, such as guns and halberds, it's too big and too ostentatious."

"It's not just swaggering." At this moment, Duan Ming added: "Judging from the bloodstains in the room, when the murderer attacked General Meng, he should have been standing behind General Meng, and the distance was not matched. ”

"Well, that's right." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "So, the murder weapon should be a dagger." ”

"The width of General Meng's chest is about twenty-seven centimeters, while the usual dagger blade length is about twenty-six centimeters." Duan Ming said again: "Coupled with the inertia formed when a person penetrates with all his strength, it is completely possible to cause such a scar. ”

"I see." King Shunjing nodded.

"But in this way, it can be proved that the murderer is the person next to the prince." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "According to the previous judgment, when the murderer attacked General Meng, General Meng was facing the desk. ”

"Then the person approached the back of General Meng with a dagger, taking advantage of General Meng's reading ......" Duan Ming suddenly shook his head: "No, no, it's not reading." ”

"Since General Meng knows that person is coming, and may still be talking to that person, then theoretically he shouldn't be reading a book, otherwise it would be too rude."

"So, the book that was opened, and the book that was opened in front of General Meng......"

"I know, General Meng was looking for something at that time, looking for something in the book!"

"What do you mean?" King Shunjing was a little confused about Duan Ming's thoughts.

"Let's make a hypothesis." Duan Ming said: "The murderer entered the room with General Meng or one after another, and the two have a very close relationship, either as friends or colleagues. Therefore, General Meng did not guard against it. ”

The two chatted in the hall for a while, and the murderer suddenly asked General Meng for something. It shouldn't be a border city defense map, maybe a letter from the two chatting or something. ”

General Meng went back to his desk, and he tucked it between his books.

"And just when General Meng was looking for something like that, the murderer quietly approached General Meng's back and assassinated General Meng with a dagger."

"Well, that makes sense." Xing Qianqiu imagined this picture in his mind for a moment and nodded.

"Lord Wang, you should have investigated, on the day General Meng died, did anyone enter General Meng's house?" Duan Ming asked.

"This king did investigate." King Shunjing nodded: "Except for his deputy that day......"

Speaking of this, King Shunjing's voice paused, and then said in a deep voice: "Thank you two, this king has already understood who the murderer is." ”

"Also." Duan Ming said: "I don't know if the prince has found the border city defense map in General Meng's hands?" ”

"No, it should have been taken by that person." King Shunjing said in a deep voice: "But don't worry, this king will definitely let him ......"

"No, no, that person shouldn't have been found." Duan Ming said, "I just found a small amount of sawdust in General Meng's fingernails, and the material should be the same as General Meng's desk." ”

"You mean, the border city defense map is in the desk?" King Shunjing wondered.

"That's right, sawdust doesn't get into General Meng's fingernails on its own." Duan Ming said: "It is only possible that General Meng deducted it himself before he died. ”

"In other words, after being attacked by a dagger, General Meng did not die immediately and retained a certain amount of strength."

"But at that time, General Meng did not resist or struggle, probably because he was worried that the murderer would attack him again and then destroy the desk under him."

"There is no reason for General Meng to desperately protect the desk, so there must be something valuable in the desk."

"Thank you, Mr. Duan, for your advice." Hearing this, King Shunjing hugged his fists at Duan Ming and said, "This king has thanked you for Mengcheng." ”

"The prince is polite, it is our honor to find the murderer and compensate General Meng." Duan Ming hurriedly said.

"Okay, Mr. Duan, Commander Criminal, I'm really sorry, this king still has a lot of things to do today." King Shunjing said: "There will be no two left." Another day, this king will hold a banquet and invite the two of you! ”

"The prince doesn't have to be polite, and we will leave here." Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu glanced at each other, knowing that they were afraid that this palace would be bloodied tonight!

Subsequently, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu left the palace.

As the gate of the palace slowly closed, both Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood in the air......
