Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 59 The Lost Thing

Ximen Dazhuang saw Zhao Rang's cold gaze and a serious face, thinking that he should have discovered something terrible, and immediately waved his hand to Shen Liushu and the others, signaling them to withdraw, and asked for a torch, holding it himself, standing beside Zhao Rang.

"Brother Jean, what did you find?"

Zhao Rang was silent for a long time before pointing to Yun Lifei's hand and asking:

"If someone attacks someone and your life is on the line, how would you react?"

Ximen Dazhuang didn't think about it, and blurted out a reply:

"Needless to say? Of course, it's out of the way and desperate with each other! What's the use of having at hand, you really can't bite it with your teeth! ”

Zhao Rang nodded and said:

"You're right, that's how normal people react."

Then he pointed to the other two deceased people in addition to Yun Lifei and said:

"Look at the hands of the Great Sword King, tightly clenched on the hilt, the joints of the ten fingers are white, this is right."

Simon Da Zhuang suddenly opened his mind and asked:

"Brother Jean, are you saying that Yun Lifei should also have something in his hand, but it was taken away?"

Zhao Rang nodded.

Although he didn't know what this thing was, something that a person still remembered before dying must be very important, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can determine life and death.

Jump out and think about it, these people did not hesitate to wash the Zhong family class with blood, could it be for such a thing? If that's the case, then what exactly this thing is the key to this tragedy.

Thinking of this, I entered a dead end.

Zhao Rang has no heavenly eyes, and there are no immortals in the world. No one can really see what they have never experienced, and they can only explore the truth in the clues left behind.

In this scene, Zhao Rang got two important information, the first is the woman's shoe print, and the second is the thing in Yun Lifei's hand.

The woman's shoe print appeared in front of the body of the Kuaishou King. However, there were a few drops of blood next to the shoe prints, which were different in color and shape.

The Kuaishou King was killed by a hidden weapon, and his body was full of wounds, like a hedgehog. Therefore, the blood that flowed out of his wound would not shoot out like others, so the blood droplets next to the footprints were most likely left behind by the murderer when the Kuaishou King struggled to resist.

After sorting out the clues in his mind, Zhao Rang said to Ximen Dazhuang:

"Let's go, there's no more fun here!"

Ximen Dazhuang held the torch and walked out of the main hall with Zhao Rang one after the other, Shen Liushu immediately stepped forward, arched his hand, and asked:

"Zhao Gongzi, Ximen Gongzi, what clues can you see?"

Zhao Rang did not say what he found, but asked rhetorically:

"This time, the Zhong family class came to Chagan Tologai, what else is there to do besides giving you a benefactor performance and returning favors?"

Among the people present, Shen Liushu was the only one who had contact with them and was still alive.

Zhao Rang concluded that the purpose of Zhong Jiaban's visit to Chagan Tologai this time was not simple, and the so-called "returning favors" was probably a cover to cover up their true purpose of coming here.

"Back to Zhao Gongzi, the little one also felt a little strange about this matter at first......"

was asked by Zhao Rang, and Shen Liushu spoke.

About two months ago, spring had just begun in the Western Regions. The weather in Chagan Tologai is different from other places because it is in the mountains. But this year was unusual, it was very hot, and it even rained heavily.

"The little ones have been here for a few years, and in the middle of summer in July and August, it rains in the mountains, but it is only for bursts, and it never lasts too long."

"But at the beginning of spring this year, sometimes it can be two days and one night in a row! As a result, flash floods broke out the trade routes, and the area became a wasteland, cut off from the rest of the world, and completely cut off from the outside world. ”

Because of the big family and the large number of men, Tongbao Qianzhuang will store a lot of grain in normal times. The successive heavy rains were nothing except for Shen Liushu and them becoming idle.

However, other forces do not have such a family background, so they can only leave in the rain, Shen Liushu said that many forces and businesses have died. Either they were looted and killed by mountain bandits along the road, or the bones were not left after being hit by the rolling stones carried down by the torrent......

But in such a situation, late one night, an outsider came alone.

Neither belong to the forces of Chagan Tologai, nor are they ordinary hurriers.

He's here to deliver the letter!

"Sending a message? What kind of person is he? ”

Zhao Rang asked.

Shen Liushu shook his head very ashamedly and replied:

"Zhao Gongzi, the money village was very idle in those days, so the little one went to bed early every day. When the man came, the little one was already asleep, and only two men on night duty saw him. ”

As soon as he heard that someone had seen it, Zhao Rang continued to ask:

"You call those two guys in a moment, I have something to ask them!"

Shen Liushu says:

"Those two guys took leave from the little one three days ago, saying that they were going home, and they haven't come back yet."

Zhao Rang frowned and asked:

"Two people have something to do at the same time? At the same time, I take a leave of absence from you? ”

How can there be such a coincidence in the world, Zhao Rangdeng felt that these two guys should have known something in advance, so he took leave and left, and used his alibi to completely clear himself of suspicion.

"Zhao Gongzi doesn't know, these two people are brothers of the same mother, they have studied martial arts in the early years, so although they are buddies, they still have martial arts cultivation, since I came here to serve as the semicolon shopkeeper, these two brothers have been cooperating with the guards, on duty at night, conscientious, never lazy!"

Shen Liushu's explanation makes sense.

Since they are brothers, there is only one home. In case there is really something in the family, the two brothers are like arrows, which is also very reasonable. It's just that this point in time three days ago was a bit too coincidental, and Zhao Rang had to think about it more.

"Well, you go on!"

Shen Liushu said that the person who came here alone wanted to see Shen Liushu by name at first. But in the evening, the money village had already closed, and the shopkeeper had already laid down, and the two brothers did not agree to his request.

Seeing this, the man didn't insist, so he took out a brown paper envelope from his arms, there was no payment on the envelope, and the address was not written, saying that as long as Shen Liushu saw it, he would understand!

"It was raining very hard that night, and it was a bit noisy! The two brothers, seeing that the messenger did not talk much, were still polite, and were kind, and wanted him to take shelter from the rain and leave at a young age, but the man did not stay. ”

Zhao Rang asked:

"What does the letter say?"

In fact, Zhao Rang had already guessed the content of the letter, but what came out of Shen Liushu's mouth was different after all, so he still had to ask clearly.

"The letter was written to me by Yun Lifei, saying that he would come to celebrate Yunyun for me, and the others are all polite official articles."

Zhao Rang's eyes froze and asked:

"The Zhong family's class is far away in the north, how did they know that Shopkeeper Shen was going to do a happy event?"

Shen Liushu replied:

"As the treasurer of Tongbao Qianzhuang, the small one has to report to the general number in advance for such a major event as a wedding, funeral, and marriage. As for how Zhong Jiaban found out, Xiao didn't ask. But there must be people with good deeds who spread the gossip, and with Zhong Jiaban's connections in the rivers and lakes, it is normal to know. ”

Such a statement is leaky and impeccable, and Zhao Rang couldn't hear any clues for a while.

Suddenly it occurred to me that since the letter was still there, at least it was a real object, and maybe if I looked at it, it would be something that Shen Liushu had not noticed.

"Zhao Gongzi...... Excuse me...... The day before yesterday...... The day before yesterday, the little insider got angry and smashed everything in the house, and tore up the letter with it......"

Zhao Rang smiled slightly after hearing this, and said:

"Haha, old husband and young wife, it is inevitable that this will be the case. Shen's shopkeeper is a manly husband, and he still has a lot of tolerance for women! ”

Shen Liushu nodded hurriedly and said:

"What Zhao Gongzi said is that the little one has been taught! Please also invite the two sons back to the table, and the small one will bring someone to toast the two sons! ”

On the way back, Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang strode forward, and Ximen Dazhuang's mouth opened several times, but he didn't speak.

Zhao Rang quickened his pace, and after a while, he distanced himself from Shen Liushu and the others behind him. Simon was big and strong, tall and long-legged, and it was effortless to follow.

"Brother Jean, why are you leaving so fast!"

Zhao Rang glanced at him and said:

"Doesn't that make you feel at ease to speak? Say, what do you want to ask? ”

Simon Da Zhuang smiled and asked:

"Brother Jean, do you doubt Shen Liushu?"

Zhao Rang took a deep breath, didn't affirm or deny, just said calmly:

"The Zhong family class who saw him is dead. The two men who had seen the messenger went home, and the letter was torn up by his wife when she was angry. If it runs into an ordinary government, this decision will be a headless public case! ”

Even Ximen Dazhuang's brain felt that what Shen Liushu said was too coincidental, even if it sounded logically problematic, it could justify itself, but there was something faintly wrong.

"Okay, don't think about it, otherwise if you drink too much for a while, you don't open the door and show a few words, we will be more passive!"

Zhao Rang has not yet told Ximen Dazhuang his true purpose for coming here, looking at the current situation, but he feels that there is no need to worry.

He and Yuan Mingkong are bright and dark, and they can deal with it more freely and smoothly. Otherwise, everything is on the bright side, but it is the shape of a fish and meat knife, and people will not have time to guard against it when they want to cut it.

But for Shen Liushu, Zhao Rang always had a feeling that he couldn't speak...... If there is one reason, it is that what he told is too perfect.

Perfect to the point that no detail can be heard.

But at the same time, there is an extreme opposition!

That is, the person or thing that can prove any of these details is either gone or no longer exists!

In this way, the black and white rights and wrongs in this are all up to him, Shen Liushu, and he can say whatever he wants, anyway, others can't check it at all.

But in comparison, Zhao Rang cared more about the person who used the projectile to transmit the message, and the killer who was armed with a short knife!
