Chapter 155: Inquest
"Three days." The hoarse voice sounded faintly, if it weren't for the bright lights and candles here, it would be like a ghost crying in the night.
Mang Tai followed the sound and saw a figure covered with black veil, but it turned out to be Ah Fu.
Ah Fu was sent by Wang Kuang early in the morning to examine the body, and at this time she was quietly standing on the boat, because she was facing everyone on the side, and the river wind was fast, so her voice was a little indistinct.
She is a warrior, her ear power is extraordinary, she can hear the sound of the person's feet and know its identity, so she should open her mouth first without waiting for others to ask.
Wang Kuang knew that she cherished words like gold, so he said to Mang Tai: "Ah Fu said that these two people have been dead for three days. ”
Mangtai nodded silently.
Ah Fu was already standing up straight at this moment, and the black veil covering his face was disturbed by the river wind. She raised her hand and pulled the black yarn to the side, pointed to the fat male corpse on the left, and said, "Zakshan." Fu pointed to another thin male corpse: "Servant." ”
The meaning of these words is clear, but there is no need for Wang Kuang to explain again, and Mang Tai already knows Za Keshan, and he can distinguish it from the appearance of the two corpses.
"What is the cause of death?" He asked.
Zackshan's inexplicable disappearance was something he had only heard about after he entered the city.
He doesn't care about this person, he only knows that since the tragic death of his daughter more than half a year ago, Za Keshan has behaved exceptionally bravely on the battlefield, and in the last battle with the Song army, he rushed to the front, cut the generals and captured the flag, and only slashed the Song generals up to two, so he was promoted to the leader.
Mangtai could guess his thoughts.
Za Keshan wants to climb to a high position with his military exploits, and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the female enemy, and even Mang Tai knows who his enemy is.
Dachangan.
Because of this, when he heard that Zakshan was missing and probably dead, Mang Tai had a moment to wonder if Da Changan had killed him.
But now, he had dispelled that idea.
This floating corpse does not show up sooner or later, and it appears tonight, obviously someone deliberately set up a situation, and the methods of the people who laid it out also give people a sense of déjà vu, as for its purpose, Mang Tai does not care.
He only needs to be sure of one thing:
If she dares to come, she will teach her that there will be no return.
Ah Fu had already verified the cause of death, and when she heard Mangtai's inquiry, she did not say anything, but only bent down and lifted the tops of the two corpses at the same time.
Mang Tai glanced at it, and his expression froze slightly.
The sternums of Zackshan and the servant were all sunken, and even if they were a little farther away, they could be seen with the naked eye.
"It's ...... Interrupted? This time, it was Wang Kuang who was questioning.
Ah Fu shook his head, and two words came out from behind the fluttering black veil: "Horseshoe." ”
Mang Tai and Wang Kuang both looked surprised.
"The girl means that the two of them were trampled to death by horses?" Mang Tai asked in disbelief.
This was really unexpected, and it shook his previous speculation.
He thought that Achilles had killed Zakshan and set up this game, but with the skills of the Lodge Assassin, why would she borrow the power of horses? Don't...... Akith seriously injured?
Mang Tai's eyes flashed, but Ah Fu didn't know what he was thinking, he only nodded to show that the two were indeed trampled to death by the horse, and then picked up the long bamboo penny reclining on the side with one hand, and lifted the weight lightly on the waist, wrist, ankle and neck of the two corpses, and said in a dumb voice: "Cowhide rope binding." ”
As soon as her wrist fell, the long penny was like a plaything in her palm, and she flexibly retracted, and a very thin iron wire was picked up on the tip of the penny, only to hear her say:
"The iron wire is fixed to the bottom of the ship."
With the words, she flicked it lightly with skill, and the iron wire was actually broken.
"Rust." The hoarse voice came from behind the heavy black veil again, but it was clear that the reason why the iron wire was so easy to break was because it had long since rotted.
It's hard for her to say a long sentence beyond the cross in one breath, although the words are still very simple, and there are a few broken sections, but the meaning is very clear, Wang Kuang and Mang Tai both nodded silently.
Next, Ah Fu demonstrated the position of the iron wire passing through the boat gang, and then turned around and walked up to the boat, standing beside Wang Kuang.
By this point it had become clear that Nazakshan and one of his servants had been trampled to death by horses (accidentally), and then their bodies were tied with cowhide ropes and fastened to the bottom of the ship with rusty, fine iron.
This person should be proficient in water, and unknowingly, he tied the two corpses to the bottom of the boat prepared by the Shuaifu, and the guard on the left side of the boat did not know anything about it, which shows that this person is good at water.
And just now, the family of the White Frost City Mansion took a small boat to return to the house, and when the captain docked the boat to the shore, the long penny accidentally broke the iron wire, and the corpse suddenly turned up from the bottom of the boat and floated on the water, which frightened Mrs. Fu Cheng on the spot, and the people who were watching witnessed it, and chaos was born.
Later, a corpse floated in another boat, and the crowd was frightened, and the chaos began to fade outside.
"Are you proficient in water...... Wang Kuang's gaze swept over the corpse and looked at the river in the distance.
The lotus lantern flickered, undulating with the waves, and the lead clouds hung low in the distance, as if connected with the long galaxy.
Somehow, Wang Kuang remembered the statue of the god that inexplicably floated from the bottom of the water.
It was only half a month ago, at that time he thought it was just the delusion of a foolish man and a foolish woman, taking a coincidence as the will of God, and he was also happy to see the situation change, and he once pushed the boat down the river and made a move against the prince of Jinguo.
But looking back now, isn't the cause of the prince's auspiciousness, Hua Zhentuo's dream, and water rituals the statue that floated from the bottom of the water?
And at this moment, in front of Wang Kuang's eyes, the bodies of Za Keshan and his servants came out of the water again, and then thinking of the past, Wang Kuang was shocked.
Recently, he has been busy gathering manpower, planning layout, and deploying forces from all sides, but he seems to have neglected one thing:
The side he intends to leverage is backed by an entire country.
Even if it decays and erodes, it is also a great country that was once incomparably strong and brilliant, and it has stood for thousands of years without falling. Such a country, such a heritage, will always give birth to one or two capable people, in the decline of the country, turn the tide in the fall, support the building will fall.
Naturally, Wang Kuang also counted this situation as much as possible, but now he still felt that he seemed to be a little underestimated.
At this time, knowing that his opponent was in the middle of the game, he still missed the possibility of one in 10,000 and never included Za Keshan's disappearance in the game.
This is no idle move.
With an unnecessary death, an unnecessary way of killing, appearing at a predetermined and necessary time and place, without cause or effect, he suddenly made a move in the plate, if the immortal flew out of the sky, the intention was outside, and it was difficult to estimate.
