Lieutenant's Mansion of the Northern Army, study.

Qu Jun brought back the woman with a pale face and a mole on the left side of her face.

Yue Rao's gaze also fell on the woman's face and the sideburns on the back of her head, and the look of surprise on her face flashed, and her reaction was similar to that of Qu Jun.

The woman was calm at first, but under Huo Quzhi's gaze, she seemed to have been tortured, and slowly began to tremble, her eyes frightened.

Huo Qu's mental strength really made the other party frightened and difficult to resist.

"Huo Shizhong, she is the suspect who killed Lieutenant Liu?" Qu Jun asked respectfully.

Huo Qu's illness is unfathomable, and he has already won the respect of this detective under the command of the court captain.

"She's just an accomplice."

Huo Quai: "This study itself is a well-designed trap, Liu Huai went out and came back, and entering here has been calculated. ”

"Trap?"

"Have you ever smelled a faint aroma in the room?"

Qu Jun and Yue Rao beside him said in unison: "After I waited over, I didn't neglect to investigate the smell, the room was filled with the smell of incense, which was made of grass and wood, and after investigation, the problem was not here." ”

Most of the nobles in Chang'an burn incense in the house, which is a habit of the former Qin clan, which is quite extravagant.

"The fragrance you found is a mixture of stack incense, cinnamon incense, water chestnut incense, and chintori incense, and it is not the taste I said."

Huo Quzhi said: "The smell you are talking about is precisely to cover up another taste. ”

He glanced at the woman with scattered eyes not far away: "Burning incense in the room, she is the one who wants to cover up the smell." The clay pot was used to store the murder weapon of the murder object, but it was not in her hands, it was the real murderer who wanted to push her out, she only found the clay pot in her room not long ago, and hid it under the couch in horror. ”

"How do you know?"

The woman spoke, her face frightened and frightened, as pale as a dead man.

Qu Jun, Yue Rao and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, and looking at this woman's reaction, they knew that Huo Quzhi said - Quanzhong!

"Then Lieutenant Liu......"

"Liu Huai was introduced in advance with an aroma that was very close to the burning incense in the room, and was placed on him by someone close to him, when he entered this room, the burning incense blended with the smell on his body, forming another taste, which diverged invisibly, and finally made him calculated, leading to death!"

Qu Jun and Yue Rao secretly thought that they died from the smell, which could indeed make their bodies uninjured, as if they were sleeping to death.

"So the smell is poisonous and killed Officer Liu?" Qu Jun asked.

"No, the smell just induced him to fall into a state of stupor, and the real cause of his death was...... The soul is damaged.

The clay pot should be some kind of specially raised insect beast, small in size, came out of the jar, followed the smell to crawl to this room, Liu Huai was already unconscious at that time, the insects probably crawled into his body along the nasal cavity, destroyed his brain, and killed him.

Then the bugs crawl out again and go back the way they came, so they can do it without a trace. ”

"This woman is Liu Huai's second wife, who was controlled by others, became an accomplice, and now has become a scapegoat."

Huo Qu's words fell, and the woman fell to the ground as if she had lost all her strength.

Qu Jun and Yue Rao couldn't help but feel a sigh of amazement, the key was the speed at which Huo Qu had cleared up the matter, which made them feel ashamed of a veteran like them who had been handling cases all year round.

Under the powerful insight and perception, although the other party's methods are strange and secretive, they are not without traces.

Huo Quzhi thought about it for a while, and continued: "Go and bring Liu Huai's wife too." ”

This time, Qu Jun and Yue Rao happily accepted the order, and without asking the reason, they immediately turned around and went to the back house to get people.

But as soon as the two went out and turned back: "Liu Huai's wife has just been found, dead, bleeding from her mouth and nose, as if she hanged herself in fear of sin." ”

Soon after, a woman in her early forties, with slightly long cheeks and gorgeous clothes of dark green and dark brown, was brought in from outside the door, and was the wife of the deceased Liu Huai.

Her face was purple, her tongue was spitting out, and there were finger strangulations on her neck, and she actually strangled herself to death if she looked closely, and her throat bone completely collapsed and shattered, which showed the fierceness of the force and the tragic death.

Liu Huai's wife and his death are obviously very related.

Huo Quzhi just released the snake outside, and when he was perceiving, he had insight into the inside and outside of the lieutenant's mansion, and he could be sure that Liu Huai's wife was fine in the back house, but he withdrew his spiritual perception and talked to Qu Jun and others, and the woman died.

There was also an extremely powerful opponent in the secret, who realized that Huo Quzhi had found a problem and immediately cut off the clues for further investigation.

People have been killed in Chang'an more than once recently, but they have never been detected.

Huo Quzhi shot this time, and he almost caught the tail of the person in the dark, but it came to an abrupt end because the person died.

"Huo Shizhong, what should we do next?" Qu Jun humbly asked.

Yue Rao's eyes were expectant.

Is the clue broken?

And it didn't ...... Huo Quzhi turned his head to look out the window again, and said:

The other party dares to kill the important ministers of the DPRK, the plot is bound to be not small, it will not be simply to kill people, the immediate urgency is to dig out the people behind it first.

————

The sky was light, and in the lieutenant's mansion of the Northern Army, who had been investigated and banned all night, the court lieutenant and the secret guards withdrew one after another.

The mansion became unusually quiet.

In the same block of the Lieutenant's Mansion, someone has been secretly watching the changes here all night.

After dawn, in another mansion in the same block, an old woman walked out, with a plain appearance, and came to the Fang Market in the south of Chang'an City after leaving the house, like a servant woman who came out to buy things.

She walked down the street, not seemingly noticing the guards following her.

At the same time, in the morning, another figure wearing a blue coarse cloth dark coat left the city from the south gate of Chang'an, and came to a deserted area without hurrying.

The barren mountains and low hills are undulating, and a figure is light and agile and fast-moving close to the ground.

Eventually, the figure stopped at a location where the terrain could be observed, and it was the person who had left the city.

She calmly took off the coarse cloth shirt on her body, revealing a light green dark coat, with a yellowish complexion, a round face, and a medium height.

She waited silently for a while, and another person walked out not far away.

The other party was wearing a brown curved robe, nearly middle-aged, slightly thin, and his hair was crowned.

The man who appeared behind asked, "How's it going?" ”

"You haven't shown up for a long time since I've been here, are you looking behind me to see if you're clean?" The woman chuckled, "You're cautious. ”

"When you act near Chang'an, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, I had a lot of arrangements before I came out, and I used a bait, even if someone secretly noticed a few mansions around the Lieutenant's Mansion of the Northern Army, they had already been lured to her side by the bait I released, and they would never find me." The woman's expression was determined.

The man asked directly, "Lieutenant Liu Huai of the Northern Army is dead?" ”

"If I take action myself, can I still allow him to live?

It's just that Liu Huai was killed, the matter is not small, someone came to the lieutenant's mansion last night, I pushed the dead man to open his eyes in the dark, and took a look at it from afar, it was a young one. According to the news we got from there, it should be the nephew of the general of the dynasty, who followed the Son of Heaven day and night.

I heard that he was still an illegitimate child. ”

The woman raised the corners of her mouth: "I urged Liu Huai's corpse to exhale a breath at that time, wanting to test him."

The illegitimate son of the Huo family didn't know how to use any means, and he almost found out about my existence, and then he found Liu Huai's daughter. ”

The woman's voice was hoarse and had a heavy sense of friction, which made people inexplicably depressed and very uncomfortable.

"He can be valued by the Son of Heaven, and naturally he has some means. What method did you use to kill Liu Huai? The man asked.

The woman said calmly: "I used the soul nourishing urn. ”

The man said solemnly: "Soul Cultivation Urn? You killed Liu Huai with that urn spirit soul, and left the breath in his body? ”

"Well, Liu Huai is not an ordinary person, I expected that he was killed and was shocked, so I made some arrangements in advance...... I didn't expect the bastard to find the clue so quickly, but fortunately, I reacted quickly enough. ”

"Xia Jie, you are too bold." The man's brow furrowed.

Xia Jie disagreed: "Although the bastard has some means, he has dissolved the breath of the soul and erased the imprint in Liu Huai's body, so that I can no longer calculate through the corpse."

But he was a little short of trying to find me. ”

The man said: "The qi machine you left in Liu Huai's corpse may have been exposed!" ”

Xia Jie said proudly: "Absolutely not." After the soul qi was exposed, I immediately cut off the life of Liu Huaifa's wife...... How could they find me, it's just a pity that I lost a wisp of soul's vitality.

It was a bit of a surprise that bastard was able to break my soul magic. ”

He also said: "My urn spirit soul has attacked and killed the grandmaster under the heavens and men, and I didn't expect to be suppressed by him.

At that time, I still felt the strong fear of the urn spirit in the soul urn, and I did not dare to fight against it. Do you know any way to do that? ”

The man shook his head slightly: "It seems that you and I have made this trip more difficult than expected." ”

"If it's simple, why do you need the two of us to join forces.

Since I have decided to make a move, I will not lose. ”

Xia Jie said leisurely: "I gave birth to a new idea on the way here, the illegitimate son's uncle Wei Qing can defeat the Northern Huns in a row, and he himself is doing things by the side of the Son of Heaven, if you find an opportunity to use the soul binding technique on him and influence and control it, whether it is Wei Qing or the emperor, it will be of great benefit to us, what do you think?" ”

The man hesitated and remained silent.

Xia Jie was kind and tempting: "Fu Feng, with the two of us, if we shoot together, there will never be a mistake, this is a good opportunity."

He was favored by us, and we only blamed him for his bad luck. When the matter is over, I will give you the promised benefits. ”
