Volume 5: The Case of the Five Kings Fighting for the Dragon Chapter 142: Looking for Dong Kang
When I returned to the Spiegel Division, the Spiegel Division was still brightly lit.
Li Wan'er was wearing a white dress, sitting in the hall and waiting quietly.
"Wan'er, why haven't you rested yet?" Xing Qianqiu walked into the hall and said softly.
"I've already heard what Brother Xu said." Li Wan'er raised her head with a smile and looked at Xing Qianqiu: "How is the harvest?" ”
"It's okay, thanks to Mr. Duan." Xing Qianqiu said: "King Shunjing should have found the murderer behind the scenes, and there won't be too much of a problem." ”
"That's good." Li Wan'er said and stood up: "Okay, you have also worked hard all day, so rest early." ”
After speaking, Li Wan'er left directly, looking at Li Wan'er's departing back, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu glanced at each other.
Duan Ming touched his nose and whispered, "That, how do I feel that she is the boss of the two of us?" ”
"Hehe, let's go to sleep." Xing Qianqiu also shook his head with a smile.
Soon, the night passed, and the next morning, Duan Ming and the three of them left the Spiegel Division again, preparing to go to the mine to have a look.
I don't know if the director of the Ordnance Department found the traitor after they left yesterday.
However, as soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw a carriage parked outside the door.
"The three of them are Mr. Duan and the criminal commander, as well as the county lord of Mingzhu?" The carriage curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man about forty years old walked out, asking with a smile on his face.
"Exactly." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "I don't know if Your Excellency is ......"
"Oh, here is the butler of the king of Changping, and the prince has come to invite the three of them to the palace of Changping tonight for a banquet." Saying that, the middle-aged man had already gotten out of the carriage, came to Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu, and took out two invitations: "Please also invite three people to appreciate their faces." ”
"Please also tell the prince that the three of us will definitely arrive." Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu took the invitation and said.
"Then don't bother the three of you, say goodbye first, and go back to prepare." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"What kind of calculation is this King of Changping playing?" After the middle-aged man left, Duan Ming took the invitation card and looked at Xing Qianqiu.
"I don't know. Li Xu, the king of Changping, is informal, and has the best reputation among several princes. Xing Qianqiu said: "Perhaps, just want to meet us?" ”
"Possibly." Li Wan'er nodded: "Uncle Wang of Changping is indeed very good. ”
"Forget it, no matter." Duan Ming shook his head: "It's really best if it's just a simple meal, if there are other problems, let's see the move." ”
Since it was a dinner party, Duan Ming and the three of them were not in a hurry, they decided to go to the mine first, and then it was not too late to go.
Arriving at the mine, the Spiegel soldiers who had been guarding near the mine hurriedly walked out.
"How's it going here?" Xing Qianqiu asked in a deep voice.
"Command." A soldier from the Spiegel Division said: "Yesterday, the Ordnance Department sent people to search the entire mountain, but they did not find the figure surnamed Dong. ”
"Didn't find it?" Duan Ming was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xing Qianqiu: "Old Punishment, are you sure you saw that person enter the tunnel?" ”
"Sure." Xing Qianqiu nodded, his brows furrowed: "In this case, how can this person be missing?" Can you still fly with wings? ”
"Could it be that there is another exit in the tunnel?" Li Wan'er asked.
"No, it won't." Duan Ming shook his head: "When we were in the tunnel, I deliberately paid attention to it, and there would definitely be no other exit......
After thinking about it, Duan Ming said to the two, "Let's go, let's go to the tunnel exit and have a look." ”
"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu and Li Wan'er nodded.
Soon the three of them came to the exit of the tunnel, which was still hidden from the same location as when they had left, indicating that no one had returned from the tunnel.
"Look around the neighborhood for any clues." Duan Ming didn't know what direction to investigate next, so he could only use this method first.
Then the three of them searched the vicinity of the exit little by little.
After a while, the director of the Ordnance Department also rushed over with people from the Ordnance Department.
He was also worried about Dong Kang's matter, after all, there was a spy in the Ordnance Department, and if this matter made a big fuss, he would not be able to escape the blame.
If Dong Kang can be caught with his own hands, he may be able to make meritorious contributions. If Dong Kang is allowed to run away like this, then the sin will be even greater.
"Criminal commander, Mr. Duan, county lord." The director came and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't get anything yesterday. ”
"Don't be sorry, you've done your best." Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "I also ask the director to help us find clues nearby, don't miss any details." ”
"Oh, okay, leave it to me!" The director nodded, then waved his hand, and everyone began to search.
Soon, more than an hour passed, and everyone still found nothing.
"Hey, do any of you know this surnamed Dong? Will he really be able to fly? Duan Ming let out a long sigh and looked at the people in the Ordnance Division.
"I don't know, he doesn't usually like to talk."
"However, if you can fly, it should be impossible."
"That's right, that's right."
"Can't fly." Duan Ming gritted his teeth and looked around: "That...... How about he climbs trees? ”
"Mr. Duan, what do you mean?" Xing Qianqiu's eyes lit up and looked at Duan Ming.
"If he can't find any traces on the ground, he won't be able to fly......" Duan Ming looked up at the tree: "Then there is only one possibility......"
"Up the tree? Navigating through the canopy? Xing Qianqiu thought slightly: "It is theoretically feasible, but who would be so idle?" ”
"What if it's not idle?" Duan Ming said, "For example, what is there on the tree? ”
"You mean, carrier pigeon!" Xing Qianqiu's eyes lit up: "Yes, if the other party leaves a carrier pigeon on the tree, it can greatly save time on the road." ”
As he spoke, Xing Qianqiu jumped up, stepped on the trees on both sides with his feet repeatedly, and his body quickly climbed upward.
"Well, it's a monkey!" Duan Ming looked at the figure that had not entered the canopy, and couldn't help but admire: "No, it's faster than a monkey." ”
As soon as Duan Ming's words fell, he heard a voice from above: "Let go!" ”
Immediately afterwards, a figure fell down with a "poof" and fell heavily to the ground.
"This, this is Dong Kang!" A person from the Ordnance Division stepped forward to take a look and hurriedly said, "This is indeed Dong Kang!" ”
I saw that Dong Kang's face was blue at this moment, his body was extremely cold, and he was obviously dead.
Immediately afterwards, Xing Qianqiu jumped down with a bloody cage in his hand: "There was a snake in the tree, which I killed." ”
"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu carefully examined Dong Kang's corpse and found that Dong Kang had two tooth marks behind his neck and shins: "That should be a poisonous snake, Dong Kang was killed by him." ”
