Volume 2 Chang'an Fire Chapter 94 Killing on a Rainy Night
"Left ear or right ear?" Yan Yunting asked.
Zuo Si thought about it for a while, and confirmed: "It's the right ear." ”
Yan Yunting's heart sank, then it shouldn't be wrong, he once bit off Wu Xiao's right ear with his own mouth.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiao also came to Chang'an, this despicable villain who acted viciously must be brewing some big conspiracy.
Yan Yunting glanced at Lin Xiaofeng again, the reason why Lin Xiaofeng came to Chang'an was precisely because he predicted what variables, so would all this be because of Wu Xiao?
"Open the door, open the door, open the door!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door broke the silence of the Sky Pavilion.
"We are the Praetorian Guards of Chang'an City, the people inside listen, quickly open the door!"
"Could it be that Sisi's actions were discovered by them?" The ladies were terrified.
"I do things by myself! Since the mission has failed, I will take the blame myself! Zuo Sisi clinged to the corner of the table and was about to go to the ground.
Ning Ruowei pressed her back: "You treat me honestly, your mission goals are still here, what does it have to do with you?" So saying, she went up with her two maidservants and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a team of heavily armed janissaries rushed in and quickly sealed the doorway.
"General Yan, is there any big case going on outside? Why are you so excited to move people to come to my Cloud Pavilion? Ning Ruowei asked.
The leader of the team did not smile, "Pavilion Master Ning, something big has happened, a big thing...... Let me ask you, Master Qin, Lord Liu, Lord Li, General Wang...... Waiting for seven officials to eat and drink at your place? ”
Ning Ruowei was stunned and replied, "That's true, they just walked for less than half an hour. ”
"That's it, come on! Arrest all these women and bring them back to the prison for trial! ”
"Yes!"
As soon as General Yan gave the order, the guards were about to rush in and arrest people.
"Stop!" Lin Xiaofeng said loudly: "Arrest people and put them in the prison indiscriminately, that's how you guards do things?" ”
Seeing Lin Xiaofeng's unique temperament, General Yan frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Lin Xiaofeng was sonorous and powerful: "Invited by His Majesty the Emperor, the new crown prince, Lin Xiaofeng." ”
"Too ...... Taifu?! General Yan was in awe, and hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute: "The last general, Yan Chen, see Lord Taifu." ”
"Why are you arresting people all of a sudden?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
Yan Chen said: "Lord Yu, just now, when the guards patrolled to the Dongcheng Mansion, they found that all seven officials, including Qin Taishi, were ...... All of them are violently killed! ”
"What!" Everyone was shocked.
Yan Chen sighed: "Seven high-ranking officials died at once, and the last general was seriously derelict in his duties, and his head was already pressed on the torture table, so he was eager to capture the murderer...... The last general found out that these seven officials had appeared in Yunxiao Pavilion at the same time, so he led the troops to arrest people, and now that he thinks about it, he is indeed reckless, and he hopes that Lord Taifu will forgive his sins. ”
"Just because they appeared in the Sky Pavilion, do you judge a woman as a murderer?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
Yan Chen said bitterly: "According to the preliminary judgment of the last general, those officials were dark-faced, and they were likely to die of poisoning, and they were drinking in the same green building at the same time, which ...... According to common sense, the person who poisoned him was in the Sky Pavilion. ”
At this time, Ning Ruowei hurriedly explained: "General Yan, you really wronged us, those officials were all fine when they left, how could they be poisoned and died violently?" ”
Yan Yunting also came out and said, "That's right, Mr. Lin and I were drinking in the Cloud Pavilion together, why are we fine, they just died?" Apparently those in office were poisoned outside. ”
"This ......" Yan Chen was at a loss, knelt directly in front of Lin Xiaofeng, kowtowed and pleaded: "Lord Taifu, help!" If the murderer can't be caught tonight, the lives of the family will be difficult to protect! ”
Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I won't interfere with your errand, but you can't easily arrest people without conclusive evidence." You first have someone lock down the Sky Pavilion, and then take me to see the official's body, and I'll do my best to help you solve the case." ”
Yan Chen's eyes were red: "Thank you, Master Taifu, if you can save the lives of my family, I, Yan Chen, will definitely follow me and swear to repay the death!" ”
"It's not something you can control when such a big thing happens, okay, let's lead the way quickly, it's just that here in the Sky Pavilion, the guards are guards, don't hinder the lives of these women." Lin Xiaofeng commanded, beckoning Yan Yunting to follow Yan Chen to the outside of Yunxiao Pavilion.
"Boom la la ......" heavy rain poured down, without any attenuation.
Yan Yunting and Lin Xiaofeng followed Yan Chen in the rain, and soon came to the vicinity of the Dongcheng Mansion.
The Praetorian Guards placed the bodies of the officials in a post not far from the residence, and not only the officials, but also their guards, coachmen, and retinues, all died violently, and there were forty people in a row, all of whom showed signs of poisoning with black faces.
"Where was the body?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
"Just outside the mansion, I had the location of the dead marked with lime." Yan Chen took the two of them to visit all the places where the crime occurred.
"Brother Yan, with your killer intuition, what should you think of this matter?" Lin Xiaofeng asked.
Yan Yunting looked around and analyzed: "Along the way, there are two exits to the Dongcheng Mansion, divided into the south gate and the north gate, and the place where these people died is some distance from the door, if I guess correctly, these locations are all blind spots for the guards to patrol, right?" ”
Yan Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the guards on the periphery of the East City will patrol from the south gate and the north gate respectively, and the time is about a quarter of an hour, and the shift change time is only half a cup of tea." (Note: In ancient times, a quarter of an hour was 30 minutes, a cup of tea was 10 minutes, and a half cup of tea was 5 minutes.) )
"That's right, if I were that killer, I would definitely be ambushed here," Yan Yunting pointed to the wall, "This wall is about a foot and a half high, if you hide well, you won't be discovered; then saw the time of the change of shifts of the Praetorian Guards, waited for the opportunity to move, jumped out and killed people;
This person must be a very experienced master of killing, and the killing method is very special, otherwise he would never be able to kill forty people at the same time with the strength of one person, not to mention that there are guards patrolling here, not to mention that the guards of these officials are all armed forces. ”
"Could it be a gang?" Yan Chen asked.
Yan Yunting shook his head and said: "No, it is easy to expose so many people lying on the wall, and the gang has made a lot of trouble, and there is only one tea during the shift change, and ordinary killers will not take this risk." ”
Lin Xiaofeng sighed lightly: "Even if you are a master of the Nirvana Realm, it is impossible to kill forty people silently in half a cup of tea, what is this person's killing method?" ”
Yan Yunting said: "We may be able to find the answer from the corpse. ”
