"Are you sure?" Ye Fei raised his head and stared at Zhou Shang.

"Eighty percent sure." Zhou Shang looked out the window with his eyes and said in a low voice: "I stuffed a lot of money into the porter of Balan Mansion, and he secretly told me that yesterday, the chief steward suddenly became angry, and he overheard someone talking that a Song slave had escaped from the house. ”

Ye Fei's face immediately sank and he was silent.

Zhou Shang said again: "After hearing this news, I still have some hope in my heart, thinking that Zhao Tan is only afraid that something has happened, and this accident may not have anything to do with what we are planning." When I came back last night, I hung the brass wind chimes in front of the door and waited for him all night with the lights lit. But he ...... And didn't come. ”

He paused.

According to the earlier agreed plan, the Copper Wind Chimes were second to the Iron Horse Wind Duo, meaning "Caution is not clear".

For the sake of safety, the Iron Horse Zhanfeng Duo should not be hung up now, so as not to change temporarily.

"From this point of view, most of the Song slaves who escaped from Balan Mansion are Lao Zhao." After a moment of silence, Ye Fei said.

Zhou Shang sighed "hmm" and continued: "When the sky was bright, I rushed to Balan Mansion to deliver the goods, but I still didn't find Zhao Tan, and I only saw someone guarding his place from a distance. I didn't dare to ask anyone again, so I changed directions and started to investigate from Miss Wei Shu. ”

"Very good." Ye Fei interrupted him, and a look of approval appeared on his face again: "If you blindly dwell on Lao Zhao's side, you will be drilling the tip of the horns, it is better to try a different way of thinking." ”

Zhou Shang said: "Yes, boss." I first went to the vicinity of Miss Wei's house, and from there I began to ask people all the way, and when I asked about the left and left of the empty house in the north of the city, a merchant said that about a moment in the first quarter of the Shen Dynasty yesterday, the rain began to fall, and he saw a woman wearing the clothes of a wealthy slave and a scar on the forehead, and hurried to the east of the city.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that this must be Miss Wei, so I followed this line and asked all the way, searched all the way, and finally found the ruined temple in Temple Lane. ”

At this point, there was a sudden sadness between his eyebrows, as if he remembered the tragic situation of his comrade lying at the bottom of the well in the backyard, but his eyes were still staring out of the window, and he did not relax for a moment:

"I found Miss Wei in the main hall, she was still unconscious, her snort was very weak, I called her several times and did not wake her up, so I began to look around. It didn't take long to find the bodies of Zhao Tan and another man in a dry well in the backyard.

He had been soaked in the rain all night, and his body was already a little white, and his body was covered with knife wounds, as if he had been stabbed to death by a random knife. The same was true of another corpse. ”

When he said this, Zhou Shang paused slightly, and frowned slightly: "Judging from the trend of the blade, it should be the same person who stabbed them to death, and the same weapon was used, and the fatal wounds of the two people were distributed in the throat, under the ribs and in the back of the heart.

However, these wounds were all smashed to pieces, and the original shape could not be seen at all, as if they were deliberate. ”

"Wait a minute." Ye Fei said suddenly.

Zhou Shang stopped speaking, Ye Fei put the short axe back into the bamboo case, replaced a short knife in his hand, raised his head again, stared at his subordinates with bright phoenix eyes, and said:

"Let's talk about the other corpse first."

Zhou Shang was obviously a little stunned, stared out the window for a few breaths, and then slowed down his voice and said:

"Hmm...... If you want to talk about that person, his face has been scratched by knives, and he can't see his appearance at all, and his body, hands and feet have also been cut countless times, and some places may still be ...... It was also skinned. ”

His face was a little unpleasant, and he had not forgotten the terrible death of the corpse, and his voice was slightly interrupted, and then he said:

"If you compare it like this, Zhao Tan's situation is even better, although he has also received a lot of knives on his face, he can barely see his appearance, and I don't think he has much ...... on him."

He suddenly stopped speaking, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"That nameless corpse must be the one the murderer really wants to kill." Ye Fei's voice rang out.

After speaking, he let out a long sigh: "Old Zhao, he ...... Maybe it's just been affected. ”

Zhou Shang originally only had this thought, but now that he heard Ye Fei's words, he first stood in a daze, and then the hand holding the ladder trembled.

The spy died at the hands of his enemy, and this was their destined return, and everyone was more or less prepared.

However, Zhao Tan probably did not die in his family and country, but in an assassination for no reason, which made Zhou Shang feel both worthless and resentful for him.

And even so, his gaze out of the window did not drift in the slightest, as if his eyes were glued there, and death would not move away.

"I'll do it anyway." Looking at his reddened eyes, Ye Fei sighed lowly, put the short knife on the case, and climbed another ladder to the window.

When his eyes turned out of the window, Zhou Shangfang looked away from his already somewhat blurred vision.

The two of them met in secret, monitoring Wei Shu was the first priority, and the secret conversation was secondary. Therefore, even though Fang Cai's mood is like a tide, Zhou Shang has never forgotten this first priority.

Compared with the change in expression, his voice was quite calm:

"Boss, you're right. I thought the corpse was a little strange at the time, but now it seems that the murderer should not really want to kill Zhao Tan. Zhao Tan may have accidentally broken someone or something, and he was ...... Killed with his hand. ”

The last four words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

After closing his eyes and breathing for a while, when his emotions calmed down, Zhou Shangcai opened his eyes and continued:

"The man—I mean the murderer—has a clean job. Except for some blood stains at the bottom of the well, there was nothing else. In addition, all the objects that could show the identity of Zhao Tan and the other person were all gone, and the inner and outer clothes were also stripped naked, and only a rag was put on the bodies of the two people.

Again, I noticed that the earth in the main hall and backyard seemed to have been turned over, but I went too late, and the rain last night was so heavy that many places were turned into mud, and I was not sure that it was artificially made.

Another thing that is a little strange is that a new roof beam has been broken in the main hall. I climbed up and looked, and the break was at both ends of the beam, as if the whole piece of wood had fallen horizontally, but there was not much broken wood on the ground.

I didn't see anything more than that. The place was pretty clean, unusually clean. ”

When Ye Fei heard this, his face showed a contemplative look, his eyebrows furrowed, and he opened his mouth to speak.

However, Zhou Shang had already guessed what he wanted to say, and immediately said, "It's not Miss Wei." ”

After a pause, he added, "I don't feel like it." ”
